accounts, input-output tables, economic
indices, and other composite measures
that serve as the basis for economic
policymaking, planning, and program
administration. Further, the census
provides benchmarks for surveys of
businesses which track short-term
economic trends, serve as economic
indicators, and contribute critical source
data for current estimates of the Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) of the Island
Areas. Finally, industry, business,
academia, and the general public use
information from the economic census
for evaluating markets, preparing
business plans, making business
decisions, developing economic models
and forecasts, conducting economic
research, and establishing benchmarks
for their own sample surveys.
If the Economic Census of Island
Areas were not conducted, the Federal
government would lose the only source
of detailed comprehensive information
of the economies of these areas.
Additionally, the governments of the
Island Areas would lose vital source
data and benchmarks for their national
accounts, input-output tables, and other
composite measures of economic
activity, causing a substantial
degradation in the quality of these
important statistics.
Affected Public: Businesses; Not-forprofit institutions; State, local or tribal
governments.
Frequency: Every five years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: This information
collection is part of the 2017 Economic
Census, which is required by law under
Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.).
Section 131 of this statute directs the
taking of a census at 5-year intervals.
Section 191 defines the geographic
scope of the census to include the island
areas and Section 224 makes reporting
mandatory.

Submission for OMB Review;
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: 2017 Economic Census.
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number(s): The almost 800
electronic path numbers are too
numerous to list here.
Type of Request: New collection.
Number of Respondents: 4,214,680.
Average Hours per Response: 1.3
hours.
Burden Hours: 5,691,972.
Needs and Uses: The 2017 Economic
Census will use direct data collection
and administrative records to compile
statistics on approximately 7 million
employer business establishments in
industries defined by the 2017 North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). This request for
approval covers the information
collection instruments and procedures
that will be used in the enumeration of
U.S. domestic businesses. The
enumeration in the Island Areas (Puerto
Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Marianas Islands, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and American Samoa)
will be submitted separately to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for approval. In addition to the
general enumeration of businesses, the
2017 census program also includes
surveys of business owners and
commodity flows. Those surveys will
also be submitted separately.
The public administration sector is
out of scope to the economic census.
The U.S. Census Bureau conducts, and
will submit separately for approval, the
quinquennial census of governments
and other current programs that
measure the activities of government
establishments.
The 2017 Economic Census will cover
the following NAICS sectors of the U.S.
economy:
• Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas
Extraction
• Utilities
• Construction
• Manufacturing
• Wholesale Trade
• Retail Trade
• Transportation and Warehousing
• Information
• Finance and Insurance

• Educational Services
• Health Care and Social Assistance

• Accommodation and Food Services
• Other Services (Except Public
Administration)
The economic census will produce
basic statistics by industry for the
number of establishments, value of
shipments/receipts/revenue/sales,
payroll, and employment. It also will
yield a variety of industry-specific
statistics, including materials
consumed, detailed supplies and fuels
consumed, electric energy consumed,
depreciable assets, selected purchased
services, inventories, and capital
expenditures, value of shipments/
receipts/revenue/sales by product line
as defined by the North American
Product Classification System (NAPCS),
type of operation, size of
establishments, and other industryspecific measures.
The Economic Census is the primary
source of information about the
structure and functioning of the nation’s
economy and features unique industry,
product and geographic detail.
Economic census statistics serve as part
of the framework for the national
accounts and provide essential
information for government, business,
and the general public. The Federal
Government, including agencies such as
the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS),
use information from the economic
census as an important part of the
framework for the national income and
product accounts, input-output tables,
economic indices, and other composite
measures that serve as the factual basis
for economic policy-making, planning,
and program administration. Further,
the census provides sampling frames
and benchmarks for current business
surveys which track short-term
economic trends, serve as economic
indicators, and contribute critical source
data for current estimates of gross
domestic product. State and local
governments rely on the economic
census as a unique source of
comprehensive economic statistics for
small geographic areas for use in policymaking, planning, and program
administration. Finally, industry,
business, academia, and the general
public use information from the
economic census for evaluating markets,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Kate Sampson, Greater
Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office, 55

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Sea turtles can become accidentally
entangled in active or discarded fishing
gear, marine debris, or other line in the
marine environment. Entanglement has
the potential to cause serious injury or
mortality, which would negatively
impact the recovery of endangered and
threatened sea turtle populations. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s (NOAA) National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)
established the Sea Turtle
Disentanglement Network (STDN) to
respond to these entanglement events,
in particular those involving the vertical
line of fixed gear fisheries. The STDN’s
goals are to increase reporting, to reduce
serious injury and mortality to sea
turtles, and to collect information that
can be used for mitigation of these
threats. As there is limited observer
coverage of fixed gear fisheries, the
STDN data are invaluable to NMFS in
understanding the threat of
entanglement and working towards
mitigation.
II. Method of Collection
Reports will be submitted on paper
(faxed or mailed), by telephone, or
electronically.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0496.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
organizations; not-for-profit institutions;
State, Local, or Tribal government;
Federal government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
111.
Estimated Time per Response: 2 to 2.5
hours per case.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 165.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $100 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
