Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and

following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).

Areas.

Jkt 241001
Burden Hours: 51,072.
Needs and Uses: The 2017 Economic
Census of Island Areas uses direct data
collection supplemented by data from
Federal administrative records to
compile statistics on approximately
51,000 business establishments in
industries defined by the 2017 North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) operating in Puerto
Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S.
Virgin Islands and American Samoa.
The enumeration of business
establishments located within the 50
states will be submitted separately to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for approval.
The Economic Census of Island Areas
provides the only source of
comprehensive data for the Island Areas
at a geographic level similar to U.S.
counties. It will produce basic statistics
by industry for number of
establishments, value of shipments/
receipts/revenue/sales, payroll, and
employment. It also will yield a variety
of industry-specific statistics,
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),
size of establishments, and other
industry-specific measures.
Historically American Samoa, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands each received only one general
economic census questionnaire to cover
all sectors. For the 2017 Economic
Census of Island Areas, in an effort to
provide all of the territories more
complete and comparable data,
American Samoa, the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam,
and the Virgin Islands will receive eight
sector group specific instruments,
similar to what has been collected for
Puerto Rico in prior censuses. The
expanded content will cover the
following sectors: Utilities,
Transportation, and Warehousing;
Construction; Manufacturing; Wholesale
Trade; Retail Trade; Other Services;
Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, Rental
and Leasing; and Accommodation and
Food Services. The use of forms tailored
to the business sector allows for more
detailed data collection that is not
feasible using one form covering all
sectors of the economy. However, the
expanded content and additional
questions on the sector driven
instruments will increase the previous
response time for American Samoa, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, Guam, and the Virgin Islands.

Sfmt 4703

The new response burden estimate was
determined based on cognitive testing
done in Puerto Rico, as the instruments
are modeled after the forms Puerto Rico
has been receiving.
The 2017 Economic Census of Island
Areas 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
• Real Estate and Rental and Leasing
• Professional, Scientific and Technical
Services
• Management of Companies and
Enterprises
• Administrative and Support and
Waste Management and Remediation
Services
• Educational Services
• Health Care and Social Assistance
• Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation
• Accommodation and Food Services
• Other Services (except Public
Administration)
Although some sectors do not have
activity, they are not considered
excluded from the Economic Census of
Island Areas.
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 expenses,
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 of Island Areas
is the major source of information about
the structure and functioning of the
economies of each Island Area, and
features the only recognized source of
data at a geographic level similar to U.S.
counties. Economic census statistics
serve as part of the framework for the
national accounts of the Island Areas
and provides essential information for
government, business, and the general
public. The governments of the Island
Areas and the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) rely on the economic
census as an important part of the
framework for their income and product
