SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau conducts the
annual Company Organization Survey
(COS) to update and maintain a central,
multipurpose Business Register (BR)
database. In particular, the COS
supplies critical information on the
composition, organizational structure,
and operating characteristics of multilocation companies.
The BR serves two fundamental
purposes:
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
22097
—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 accurately record basic business
attributes needed to control sampling
and enumeration. These attributes
include industrial and geographic
classifications, and name and address
information.
—Second, it provides establishment
data that serve as the basis for the
annual County Business Patterns
(CBP) statistical series. The CBP
publications present data on a number
of establishments, first quarter
payroll, annual payroll, and midMarch employment summarized by
industry and employment size class
for the United States, the District of
Columbia, island areas, counties, and
country-equivalents. No other annual
or more frequent series of industry
statistics provides comparable detail,
particularly for small geographic
areas.
II. Method of Collection
The 2014–2016 COS collection
strategy will focus on launching
electronic reporting as the primary
collection option. As the Census Bureau
moves to increase electronic response
and process less paper, we plan to
replace some form mailings with letters
encouraging electronic response. The
2014–2016 COS will request companylevel information from a selection of
multi-establishment enterprises, which
comprise roughly 42,000 parent
companies and more than 1.4 million
establishments. Additionally, the panel
will include approximately 5,000 large
single-location companies that may
have added locations during the year.
Electronic reporting will be available to
all 2014–2016 COS respondents.
Companies will receive and return
responses by secure Internet
transmission. Companies that cannot
use the Internet may request a CD–ROM
containing their electronic data or may
request a paper questionnaire. COS
content is identical for all of the
reporting modes.
The instrument will include inquiries
on ownership or control by domestic or
foreign parent, ownership of foreign
affiliates, and leased employment.
Further, the instrument will list an
inventory of establishments belonging to
the company and its subsidiaries, and
