Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: 2012 Economic Census—
Commodity Flow Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0932.
Form Number(s): CFS 1000 (2012),
CFS 2000 (2012), CFS–1100, CFS–1200,
CFS–1000–L1, CFS–1000–F, CFS–1000–
LE, CFS–1000–L1a.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, with
change, of an expired collection.
Burden Hours: 800,000.
Number of Respondents: 100,000.
Average Hours per Response: 2 hours.
Needs and Uses: The 2012
Commodity Flow Survey (CFS), a
component of the 2012 Economic
Census, is the only comprehensive
source of multi-modal, system-wide
data on the volume and pattern of goods
movement in the United States. The
CFS is conducted through a partnership
between the U.S. Census Bureau and the
Research and Innovative Technology
Administration (RITA), Bureau of
Transportation Statistics (BTS),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
The survey provides a crucial set of
statistics on the value, weight, mode,
and distance of commodities shipped by
mining, manufacturing, wholesale, and
selected retail and services
establishments, as well as auxiliary
establishments that support these
industries. The U.S. Census Bureau will
publish these shipment characteristics
for the nation, census regions and
divisions, states, and CFS defined
geographic areas. As with the 2007
Commodity Flow Survey, this survey
also identifies export and hazardous
material shipments.

The DOT consistently views updated
information on freight flows as critical
to understanding the use, performance,
and condition of the nation’s
transportation system, as well as
transportation investments and the
unintended consequences of
transportation. Data on the movement of
freight also are important for effective
analyses of changes in regional and
local economic development, safety
issues, and environmental concerns.
They also provide the private sector
with valuable data needed for critical
decision-making on a variety of issues
including market trends, analysis, and
segmentation. Each day, governments,
businesses, and consumers make
countless decisions about where to go,
how to get there, what to ship and
which transportation modes to use.
Transportation constantly responds to
external forces such as shifting markets,
changing demographics, safety
concerns, weather conditions, energy
and environmental constraints, and
national defense requirements. Good
decisions require having the right
information in the right form at the right
time.
The CFS is the primary source of
information about freight movement in
the United States. Estimates of shipment
characteristics are published for
differing levels of aggregation. The CFS
produces summary statistics only, and
no confidential data are released. The
survey covers shipments from
establishments in the mining,
manufacturing, wholesale, and selected
retail industries, as well as auxiliary
establishments that support these
industries. Federal agencies, state and
local transportation planners and policy
makers, and private sector
transportation managers, analysts, and
researchers have strongly supported the
conduct of the CFS.
The 2012 CFS will be a mail-out/mailback or electronic reporting sample
survey of approximately 100,000
business establishments in the mining,
manufacturing, wholesale, and selected
retail and services industries, as well as
auxiliary establishments that support
these industries. Respondents will be
asked to provide a quarterly response
for a one-year period.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Frequency: Every 5 years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13, United
States Code, Sections 131, 193, and 224.

The Department of Commerce will

Title: 2011 Government Units Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0930.
Form Number(s): GUS–1.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, with
change, of an expired collection.
Burden Hours: 57,375.
Number of Respondents: 76,500.
Average Hours per Response: 45
minutes.
Needs and Uses: The 2011
Government Units Survey will be used
to update the universe list of public
sector entities for the 2012 Census of
Governments. Each of the estimated
76,500 non-school governments will be
sent a form. Respondents will be asked
to verify or correct the name and
mailing address of the government,
answer the questions on the form, and
return the form.
The directory survey for the 2007
Census of Governments, form G–30, was
mailed to special district governments
only. The form collected only basic
information on the governing board,
authorizing legislation, the Web
address, agency activity, and
employment and payroll data. The
employment and payroll data were used
in lieu of a response to the March 2007
Census of Governments: Employment,
for special district governments. The
Government Units Survey (GUS)
collects more data and will be mailed to
municipalities, townships, counties,

and special districts. The GUS–1
consists of nine broad content areas:
background information, debt, license
and permit fees, taxes, retirement/
pension plan, government activity,
public services, judicial or legal
activities, and finance. The first eight
content areas consist predominantly of
yes/no questions and are designed to
collect information on the general
characteristics of the government. The
finance section of the questionnaire
requests four numerical values: payroll,
expenditures, revenues, and debt.
The GUS will be used to produce the
official count of local government units
in the United States; to obtain
descriptive information on the basic
characteristics of governments; to
identify and delete inactive units from
the official list of public entities
maintained by the Governments
Division of the Census Bureau; to
identify file duplicates and units that
were dependent on other governments;
and to update and verify the mailing
addresses of governments. The basic
characteristics collected with the GUS
will allow us to reduce the burden on
small governments by improving small
area estimates and imputation methods
from a smaller sample size.
Affected Public: State, local or Tribal
governments.
Frequency: Every 5 years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, Section 161,
of the United States Code.

Pursuant to its authority under the ForeignTrade Zones Act of June 18, 1934, as
