Jkt 235001
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 economic ‘‘census years.’’
All other years, other than the years
when the economic censuses are
conducted, are considered ‘‘noncensus’’ years. In non-census years,
companies report only on basic
company affiliation and operations of
establishments. In these non-census
years, all multi-establishment
companies with 500 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
probability sampling. The next
economic census will be conducted for
2017.
This notice announces that the
Census Bureau is conducting the 2014
Company Organization Survey. The
survey 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 have
significant application to the needs of
the public and industry, and are needed
to aid the efficient performance of
essential governmental functions. The
survey’s data are needed, in part, to
update the multilocation companies in
the Business Register. 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 multiestablishment companies) and NC–
99007 (for single-location companies)
will be used to collect the desired data.
The data derived from this survey are
not available from any other source.
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
information displays a current valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
OMB approved Forms NC–99001 and
NC–99007 under OMB Control Number

I have, therefore, directed that the
2014 Company Organization Survey be
conducted for the purpose of collecting
these data.
