SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Equine Survey.
OMB Number: 0535–0227.
Expiration Date: 03/31/2014.
Type of Request: To revise and extend
a currently approved information
collection for a period of three years.
Abstract: To improve information
regarding the equine industry, several
State Departments of Agriculture are
expected to contract the National
Agricultural Statistics Service to
conduct an Equine Survey in their State
within the next 3 years. Equine
activities offer unusually varied
opportunities for rural development. In
addition to providing the livelihood for
breeders, trainers, veterinarians, and
many others, the horse remains
important to recreation. The number of
operations, number of animals, and
economic information will quantify the
importance of the equine industry to
State economies. Income data provides
a view of the benefits that the industry
provides to the State economy and a
ranking of its relative importance within
both the agricultural sector and the
State’s total economic sector. The
expenditure information provides data
regarding the multiplier effect of money
from the equine industry, effects of
wage rates paid to both permanent and
part-time employees, and secondary
businesses supported by the industry.
Authority: These data will be
collected under authority of 7 U.S.C.
2204(a). Individually identifiable data
collected under this authority are
governed by Section 1770 of the Food
Security Act of 1985 as amended, 7
U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to
afford strict confidentiality to nonaggregated data provided by
respondents. This Notice is submitted in
accordance with the Paperwork

2013 Company Organization Survey
Bureau of the Census,

ACTION: Notice of Determination.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of the Census
(Census Bureau) is conducting the 2013
Company Organization Survey. The
survey’s data are needed, in part, to
update the multilocation companies in
the Business Register. The survey,
SUMMARY:

which has been conducted annually
since 1974, is designed to collect
information on the number of
employees, payroll, geographic location,
current operational status, and kind of
business for each establishment of
companies with more than one location.
We have determined that annual data
collected from this survey are needed to
aid the efficient performance of
essential governmental functions, and
that these data have significant
application to the needs of the public
and industry. The data derived from this
survey are not available from any other
source.
ADDRESSES: The Census Bureau will
furnish report forms to organizations
included in the survey, and additional
copies are available upon written
request to the Director, U.S. Census
Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–0101.

Coordination Division, U.S. Census
Bureau, Room 8K319, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections
182, 224, and 225 of Title 13, United
States Code (U.S.C.), authorize the
Census Bureau to undertake surveys
necessary to furnish current data on the
subjects covered by the major censuses.
Years that end in 2 and 7 are considered
‘‘census years.’’ In non-census years,
companies report only on basic
company affiliation and operations of
establishments not within the scope of
the economic censuses. In these noncensus years, all multi-establishment
companies with 250 or more employees
report survey information. Also, groups
of smaller companies that are divided
into panels may be selected to report
information for one of the non-census
years. Smaller companies may be
selected if an organizational change
within the company is indicated, or if
they have been selected through the
probability sampling procedure. The
next economic census will be conducted
for the year 2017. The data collected in
the Company Organization Survey will
be within the general scope, type, and
character of those that are covered in the
economic censuses. Forms NC–99001
(for multi-establishment companies) and
NC–99007 (for single-location
companies) will be used to collect the
desired data.
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 unless that collection of

I have, therefore, directed that the
2013 Company Organization Survey be
conducted for the purpose of collecting
these data.

Annual Retail Trade Survey
Bureau of the Census,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of determination.
AGENCY:
The United States Department
of Commerce’s Bureau of the Census
(Census Bureau) publishes this notice to
announce that the Director of the
Census Bureau has determined the need
to conduct the 2013 Annual Retail
Trade Survey (ARTS). ARTS covers
employer firms with establishments
located in the United States and
classified in the Retail Trade and/or
Accommodation and Food Services
sectors as defined by the 2007 North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). Through this survey,
the Census Bureau will collect data
covering annual sales, annual ecommerce sales, year-end inventories
held inside and outside the United
States, total operating expenses,
purchases, accounts receivables, and,
for selected industries, merchandise line
sales. 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. The Census Bureau conducts
the ARTS to provide continuing and
timely national statistical data on retail
trade, and accommodation and food
services activity annually.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections
182, 224, and 225 of Title 13 of the
United States Code (U.S.C.) authorize
the Census Bureau to take surveys that
are necessary to produce current data on
the subjects covered by the major
censuses. As part of this authorization,
the Census Bureau conducts the ARTS
to provide continuing and timely
national statistical data on retail trade,
and accommodation and food services
activity for the period between
economic censuses. ARTS is a
continuation of similar retail trade
surveys conducted each year since 1951
(except 1954). ARTS covers employer
firms with establishments located in the
United States and classified in the Retail
Trade and/or Accommodation and Food
Services sectors as defined by the 2007
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). ARTS provides, on a
comparable classification basis, annual
sales, annual e-commerce sales, yearend inventories held inside and outside
the United States, total operating
expenses, purchases, accounts
receivables, and, for selected industries,
merchandise line sales for 2013. The
Census Bureau has determined that the
conduct of this survey is necessary
because these data are not available
publicly on a timely basis from any
other sources.
Firms are selected for the ARTS
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
February 2014, and will require their
responses within 50 days after receipt.
Firms’ responses to the ARTS survey 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, annual e-commerce sales,
year-end inventories held inside and
outside the United States, total
operating expenses, purchases, accounts
receivables, and, for selected industries,
merchandise line sales for 2013.
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 including
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 has approved the
Annual Retail Trade Survey under OMB
Control Number 0607–0013.
Based upon the foregoing, I have
directed that an annual survey be
conducted for the purpose of collecting
these data.
