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: Annual Survey of Manufactures.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:37 Sep 06, 2011
Jkt 223001
OMB Control Number: 0607–0449.
Form Number(s): MA–10000(L), MA–
10000(S), NC–99530.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 181,120.
Number of Respondents: 51,000.
Average Hours Per Response: 2 hours
and 40 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
is requesting an extension of the
currently approved collection for the
ASM. The Census Bureau has
conducted the ASM since 1949 to
provide key measures of manufacturing
activity during intercensal periods. In
census years ending in ‘‘2’’ and ‘‘7,’’ we
mail and collect the ASM as part of the
Economic Census Covering the
Manufacturing Sector. The ASM will be
included in the collection of the 2012
Economic Census and therefore all
collection activities for 2012 will be on
hiatus. In 2013, collection activities will
resume for this clearance.
The ASM statistics are based on a
survey that includes both mail and
nonmail components. The mail portion
of the survey is comprised of a
probability sample of approximately
51,000 manufacturing establishments
from a frame of approximately 117,000
establishments. These 117,000
establishments are primarily comprised
of manufacturing establishments of
multiunit companies (companies with
operations at more than one location)
and large single-location manufacturing
companies. The nonmail component is
comprised of the remaining small and
medium-sized single-location
companies, approximately 211,000. No
data are collected from companies in the
nonmail component. Data are directly
obtained from the administrative
records of the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), the Social Security
Administration (SSA), and the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. The nonmail
companies account for 63 percent of the
population and for less than 7 percent
of the manufacturing output.
This survey is an integral part of the
Government’s statistical program. Its
results provide a factual background for
decision making by the executive and
legislative branches of the Federal
Government. Federal agencies use the
annual survey’s input and output data
as benchmarks for their statistical
programs, including the Federal Reserve
Board’s Index of Industrial Production
and the Bureau of Economic Analysis’
estimates of the gross domestic product.
The data also provide the Department of
Energy with primary information on the
use of energy by the manufacturing
sector to produce manufactured
products. These data also are used as
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
benchmark data for the Manufacturing
Energy Consumption Survey, which is
conducted for the Department of Energy
by the Census Bureau. The Department
of Commerce uses the exports of
manufactured products data to measure
the importance of exports to the
manufacturing economy of each state.
Within the Census Bureau, the ASM
data are used to benchmark and
reconcile monthly and quarterly data on
manufacturing production and
inventories.
The ASM is the only source of
complete establishment statistics for the
programs mentioned above.
The ASM furnishes up-to-date
estimates of employment and payrolls,
hours and wages of production workers,
value added by manufacture, cost of
materials, value of shipments by class of
product, inventories, cost of employer’s
fringe benefits, operating expenses, and
expenditures for new and used plant
and equipment. The survey provides
data for most of these items for all 5digit and selected 6-digit industries as
defined in the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). We also
provide geographic data by state at a
more aggregated industry level.
The survey also provides valuable
information to private companies,
research organizations, and trade
associations. Industry makes extensive
use of the annual figures on product
class shipments at the U.S. level in its
market analysis, product planning, and
investment planning. State
development/planning agencies rely on
the survey as a major source of
comprehensive economic data for
policymaking, planning, and
administration.
The Ownership or Control forms will
be used to update the Business Register,
the basic sampling frame for many of
our current surveys. This enables us to
update establishments in the Census
Bureau’s Business Register that are
incorrectly identified as being singleestablishment firms.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13, United
States Code, Sections 182, 224, 225.

International Trade Administration
Aerospace Executive Service Trade
Mission at Singapore Air Show
International Trade
Administration, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.

AGENCY:
Mission Description
The United States Department of
Commerce, International Trade
Administration, U.S. and Foreign
Commercial Service is organizing an
Aerospace Executive Service Trade
Mission (AESTM) to Singapore in
conjunction with the Singapore
Airshow 2012 (https://
www.singaporeairshow.com.sg).
The AESTM is designed to include
participants from a variety of U.S.
aerospace-industry manufacturers and
service providers. The mission
participants will be introduced to
international agents, distributors and
end-users whose capabilities are
targeted to each U.S. participant’s
needs. Mission participants will also be
briefed by key local industry leaders
who can advise on local market
conditions and opportunities.
In addition to the above-mentioned
services, the Commercial Service will
again bring its AsiaNow Showtime
program to the Singapore Air Show,
through which mission participants can
meet one-on-one with Commercial
Service aerospace and defense industry
specialists from country markets
throughout Asia. The industry
specialists will be on hand to discuss
market trends and opportunities in their
respective markets.
Commercial Setting
The Singapore Air Show (SAS) is
Asia’s largest aerospace and defense
event and one of the top three air shows
in the world, serving as an international
marketplace and networking platform
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:37 Sep 06, 2011
Jkt 223001
for the global aerospace community.
Encompassing all civil and military
sectors of the international aerospace
industry, the SAS is the foremost
platform for companies to showcase
their products and services in the AsiaPacific region. The 2010 SAS featured
over 43,000 trade attendees from 133
countries, participation from 897
companies from 36 countries and closed
with deals and announcements worth
US $10 billion.
Asia Pacific is widely considered the
most promising market for the aerospace
industry worldwide. As a leading global
aviation hub in Asia Pacific, Singapore
(the U.S.’ 10th largest export market in
2010) is well positioned to take
advantage of growth opportunities
stemming from the region’s brisk
international trade, tourism and
investments. U.S. aerospace firms
looking to establish or expand business
in Singapore and other markets in this
dynamic region stand to benefit from
participation in the AESTM in the
context of the Singapore Air Show,
which is the region’s largest air show.
Singapore is the 8th largest market for
U.S. aerospace exports. In 2010, U.S.
aerospace exports were $3.5 billion, a
37% increase from 2009 ($2.7 billion).
Singapore is the regional leader in
aerospace maintenance, repair and
overhaul (MRO), manufacturing, and
research and development. Since 1992,
Singapore’s aerospace industry
production has grown at an average rate
of 13.3%, to become the most
comprehensive MRO hub in Asia.
Aerospace is one of the fastestgrowing industries in Singapore, and
the long-term outlook remains positive.
According to Frost and Sullivan, the
business research and consulting firm,
the Asia Pacific aviation industry is
experiencing a faster recovery than
anticipated. In fact, Frost and Sullivan
states that the core of aerospace MRO
activity is shifting towards Asia. This
has created a market climate where
Asian economies are leading the pace of
aviation recovery. Asia Pacific is
expected to dominate about 40% (U.S.
$270 billion) of the global airline
revenue by 2020. The cargo business has
also shown equally buoyant growth,
with Asia being one of the major hubs
of the air freight business. Also, the
rising GDP rates across Asia and the
increasing disposable income of the
population will lead to higher demand
from commercial passengers. Singapore
is particularly well-equipped to capture
the demand from aviation-related
services from this market given its MRO
hub status, which will translate into
greater opportunities for American
PO 00000

suppliers to sell to this lucrative market
and beyond.
Mission Goals
The goal of the Aerospace Executive
Service at the 2012 Singapore Air Show
is to promote U.S. exports. To this end,
the AESTM will facilitate an effective
presence for small- and medium-sized
U.S. companies by combining aspects of
a trade mission, trade show presence
and networking activities in one
package.
The AESTM Program enables U.S.
aerospace companies to familiarize
themselves with this important trade
fair, to conduct market research and to
explore export opportunities through
pre-arranged meetings with potential
partners. The Aerospace Executive
Service also allows U.S. companies to
have a presence at the show in the form
of kiosk space, providing them an
enhanced image and an extended level
of engagement at the show site. AESTM
participants will be supported by
knowledgeable Commercial Service
specialists familiar with the firms’
objectives and with the Asian aerospace
market.
Mission Scenario
Within the U.S. Pavilion at the 2012
Singapore Air Show, the Commercial
Service will maintain a 64-square-meter
booth that will include 36 square meters
of kiosk space for the mission
participants, where they can display
company literature and conduct
meetings with visitors to the air show,
including buyer delegations recruited by
Commercial Service staff in other
Pacific Rim countries under the
AsiaNow program. The Commercial
Service booth will also house an area for
meetings with Commercial Service staff
and a Business Information Office (BIO)
reception area (28 square meters).
Commercial Service staff and the AES
coordinator will be available to provide
information and assistance throughout
the duration of the AESTM at the
Singapore Air Show. They will also
promote and refer interested parties to
AESTM participants.
In summary, participation in the
AESTM Program includes:
• Pre-show breakfast briefing on
February 13 (U.S. Ambassador to
Singapore will be invited to be the lead
presenter along with industry
representatives);
• Daily transportation to and from
AESTM hotel and Singapore Air Show;
• Pre-scheduled meetings with
potential partners, distributors, and end
users recruited by the Commercial
Service;
