DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
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.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Report of Organization (formerly
titled Company Organization Survey).
OMB Control Number: 0607–0444.
Form Number(s): NC–99001 and NC–
99007.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 87,000.
Average Hours per Response: 1 hour
and 23 minutes.
Burden Hours: 120,544.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
requests a revision of the currently
approved Report of Organization data
collection for survey years 2017, 2018
and 2019. We request an extension of
the current expiration date to December
2020 to complete the data collection for
the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Report of
Organization. We are changing the name
of the collection from the Company
Organization Survey to the Report of
Organization to reflect how the survey
name is presented in the survey
instrument and public-facing
documentation.
The Census Bureau conducts the
annual Report of Organization to update
and maintain a centralized,
multipurpose Business Register (BR). In
particular, the survey supplies critical
information on the organizational
structure, operating characteristics, and
employment and payroll of multiestablishment enterprises.
For survey year 2017, the Report of
Organization will be conducted in
conjunction with the 2017 Economic
Census, as has been done for previous
economic censuses. During this year, all
multi-establishment companies will
receive Report of Organization inquiries.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 202 / Friday, October 20, 2017 / Notices
In survey years 2018 and 2019, only a
sample of multi-establishment and
single-location companies will receive
Report of Organization inquiries.
Form NC–99001 is directed to multiestablishment location enterprises
during census and non-census years.
For census years, however, only
establishments with industry
classifications that are out-of-scope of
the economic census will receive this
questionnaire. In-scope establishments
will receive these inquiries through the
Economic Census questionnaires. We
ask questions on ownership or control
by a domestic parent, ownership or
control by a foreign parent, and
ownership of foreign affiliates; research
and development; company activities
such as employees from a professional
employer organization. Establishment
inquiries include questions on
operational status, mid-March
employment, first-quarter payroll, and
annual payroll of establishments.
Beginning with the 2017 collection, a
new question regarding cooperative
organization status will be included in
the instrument but respondents will no
longer receive inquiries pertaining to
the Enterprise Statistics Program as the
program has been suspended.
During the 2018 and 2019 Report of
Organization collection, the Census
Bureau will use Form NC–99007 to
collect data from large single-location
enterprises that may have added some
locations. The NC–99007 questionnaire
is not applicable to economic census
collections.
The information collected by the
Report of Organization is used to
maintain and update the BR. The BR
serves two fundamental purposes:
• First and most important, the BR
provides sampling populations and
enumeration lists for the Census
Bureau’s economic surveys and
censuses. 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 industry and
geographic classifications, measures of
size and economic activity, ownership
characteristics, and contact information
(for example, name and address).
• Second, the BR provides
establishment data that serve as the
basis for the annual County Business
Patterns (CBP) statistical series. The
CBP reports present data on number of
establishments, first quarter payroll,
annual payroll, and mid-March
employment summarized by industry
and employment size class for the

United States, the District of Columbia,
island areas, counties, and countyequivalents. No other annual or more
frequent series of industry statistics
produced by the Census Bureau
provides comparable detail, particularly
for small geographic areas.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions; Farms;
State, local or tribal government.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: The 2017–2019
Report of Organization will be
conducted under the provisions of Title
13 of the United States Code, Sections
131 and 182. Sections 224 and 225 make
the survey mandatory.

information collection should be sent
