places which serves as the sampling
frame for the Report of Privately-Owned
Residential Building or Zoning Permits
Issued (OMB number 0607–0094), also
known as the Building Permits Survey
(BPS), and the Survey of Housing Starts,
Sales, and Completions (OMB number
0607–0110), also known as Survey of
Construction (SOC). These two sample
surveys provide widely used measures
of construction activity, including the
principal economic indicators New
Residential Construction and New
Home Sales. Data from the BPS and SOC
are also used by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) in the calculation of
estimates of the Residential Fixed
Investment portion of the Nation’s Gross
Domestic Product (GDP). In addition,
data from the BPS are used by the
Census Bureau in the calculation of
annual population estimates; these
estimates are widely used by
government agencies to allocate funding
and other resources to local
governments.
The questions on Form C–411 pertain
to the legal requirements for issuing
building or zoning permits in the local
jurisdictions. Information is obtained on
such items as geographic coverage and
types of construction for which permits
are issued. We do not plan any changes
to the information we collect on the C–
411 forms.
The appropriate form is sent to a
jurisdiction when the Census Bureau
has reason to believe that a new permit
system has been established or an
existing one has changed. This is based
on information from a variety of sources
including survey respondents, regional
councils and the Census Bureau’s
Geography Division which keeps abreast
of changes in corporate status.
We use the information to verify the
existence of new permit systems or
changes to existing systems. Based on
the information, the Census Bureau
adds new permit-issuing places to the
universe, delete places no longer issuing
permits, and makes changes to the
universe to reflect those places that have
merged.
Failure to maintain the universe of
permit-issuing places would result in
deficient samples and inaccurate
statistics. This in turn jeopardizes the
accuracy of the above mentioned
economic indicators. These indicators
are closely monitored by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and other economic policy
makers because of the sensitivity of the
housing industry to changes in interest
rates.
Affected Public: State, local or tribal
government.
Frequency: On occasion.

a notice of the continuation of the AD
orders and the CVD order.
DATES: Applicable March 6, 2018.
