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: 2013 Company Organization
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0444.
Form Number(s): NC–99001, NC–
99007.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 143,608.
Number of Respondents: 47,000.
Average Hours per Response: 3 hours
and 3 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
requests an extension of the currently
approved Company Organization
Survey (COS) data collection for the
2013 survey year. We request an
extension of the current expiration date
to December 2014 to complete the data
collection for the 2013 COS.
The Census Bureau conducts the
annual COS to update and maintain a
centralized, multipurpose Business
Register (BR). In particular, the COS
supplies critical information on the
organizational structure, operating
characteristics, and employment and
payroll of multi-location enterprises.
Form NC–99001 is mailed to multilocation enterprises. We ask questions
on ownership or control by a domestic
parent, ownership or control by a
foreign parent, and ownership of foreign
affiliates; research and development;
company activities such as—employees
from a professional employer
organization, operating revenue and net
sales, royalties and license fees for the
use of intellectual property and
manufacturing activities. Establishment
inquiries include questions on
operational status, mid-March
employment, first-quarter payroll, and
annual payroll of establishments.

In 2011, we submitted a nonsubstantive change to the COS
questionnaire. This revision added three
new inquiries as part of the Enterprise
Statistics Program (ESP). These three
inquiries were: (1) Operating Revenues
and Net Sales; (2) Royalties and
Licenses Fees for the Use of Intellectual
Property; and (3) Manufacturing
Activities. In 2012 we continued to ask
these questions on Form NC–99001 and
it is our intention to continue to ask
these additional questions for 2013 on
Form NC–99001. We also ask questions
on ownership or control by a foreign
parent, and ownership of foreign
affiliates; research and development;
royalties and license fees for the use of
intellectual property and manufacturing
activities. In addition to the mailing of
multi-location enterprises, the Census
Bureau will collect data for singlelocation companies on Form NC–99007
to some large single-location enterprises
that may have added some locations.
The 2013 COS will request companylevel information from a selection of
multi-establishment enterprises, which
comprises roughly 42,000 parent
companies and more than 1.4 million
establishments. COS inquiries sent to
each of the 42,000 multi-establishment
enterprises will include inquiries on
ownership or control by a domestic
parent, ownership or control by a
foreign parent, and ownership of foreign
affiliates; research and development;
company activities, such as—employees
from a professional employer
organization, operating revenue and net
sales, royalties and license fees for the
use of intellectual property, and
manufacturing activities. Establishment
inquiries include questions on
operational status, mid-March
employment, first-quarter payroll, and
annual payroll of establishments.
In addition to the 42,000 multiestablishment enterprises, the 2013 COS
will include approximately 5,000 singlelocation companies that may have
added some locations. The NC–99007
Form will be used to collect data for the
5,000 single-location businesses.
The information collected by the COS
is used to maintain and update the BR.
The BR serves two fundamental
purposes:
• First and most important, it
provides sampling populations and
enumeration lists for the Census
Bureau’s economic surveys and
censuses, and it serves as an integral
part of the statistical foundation
underlying those programs. Essential for
this purpose is the BR’s ability to
identify all known United States
business establishments and their
parent companies. Further, the BR must
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
accurately record basic business
attributes needed to control sampling
and enumeration. These attributes
include industry and geographic
classifications, measures of size and
economic activity, ownership
characteristics, and contact information
(for example, name and address).
• Second, it provides establishment
data that serve as the basis for the
annual County Business Patterns (CBP)
statistical series. The CBP reports
present data on number of
establishments, first quarter payroll,
annual payroll, and mid-March
employment summarized by industry
and employment size class for the
United States, the District of Columbia,
island areas, counties, and countyequivalents. No other annual or more
frequent series of industry statistics
provides comparable detail, particularly
for small geographic areas.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; Farms;
State, local or tribal governments.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Sections 182, 195, 224, and 225.
