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.
