continuing and timely national
statistical data on wholesale trade
activity for the period between
economic censuses. The AWTS covers
employer firms with establishments
located in the United States and
classified in the Wholesale Trade sector
as defined by the 2007 NAICS. The 2011
AWTS will collect data for three
components of wholesale activity:
Wholesale distributors; manufacturers’
sales branches and offices; and agents,
brokers, and electronic markets. For
wholesale distributors, the Census
Bureau will collect data covering sales,
e-commerce sales, year-end inventories
held inside and outside the United
States, purchases, and total operating
expenses. For manufacturers’ sales
branches and offices, the Census Bureau
will collect data covering annual sales,
e-commerce sales, year-end inventories
held inside and outside the United
States and total operating expenses. For
agents, brokers, and electronic markets,
the Census Bureau will collect data
covering commissions, total operating
revenue, gross selling value, and total
operating expenses. The Census Bureau
has determined that the conduct of this
survey is necessary as these data are not
available publicly on a timely basis from
non-governmental or other government
sources.
A new sample of firms will be
selected for the 2011 AWTS. It is
expected that approximately 60–70% of
the companies that are asked to report
will be doing so for the first time (and,
consequently, 60–70% of the old sample
will no longer be asked to report). In
order to link estimates from the new and
prior samples, we will be asking
companies to provide data for 2011 and
2010. The 2012 AWTS and subsequent
years will request one year of data until
a new sample is once again introduced.
Firms were selected for the AWTS
survey using a stratified random sample
based on industry groupings and annual
sales size. We will provide report forms
to the firms covered by this survey in
January 2012 and will require their
responses within 30 days after receipt.
Firms’ responses to the AWTS are
required by law (Title 13 U.S.C.
Sections 182, 224, and 225). The sample
of firms selected will provide, with
measurable reliability, statistics on
annual sales, e-commerce sales,
purchases, total operating expenses,
year-end inventories held both inside
and outside the Unites States,
commissions, total operating revenue,
and gross selling value, for 2011.
The data collected in this survey will
be similar to that collected in the past
and within the general scope and nature
of those inquiries covered in the

economic census. These data are
collected to provide a sound statistical
basis for the formation of policy by
various government agencies. Results
will be available for use for a variety of
public and business needs, such as
economic and market analysis, company
performance, and forecasting future
demand.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with, a
collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) unless that
collection of information displays a
current valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number. In
accordance with the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501–3521, OMB approved the AWTS
under OMB control number 0607–0195.
Based upon the foregoing, I have
directed that the annual survey be
conducted for the purpose of collecting
these data.
Dated: October 12, 2011.

Director, Bureau of the Census.
