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: Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0561.
Form Number(s): MA–3000.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 6,000.
Average Hours per Response: 30

Burden Hours: 3,000.
Needs and Uses: The data collected in
the Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders
(M3UFO) Survey will be used to
benchmark the new and unfilled orders
information published in the monthly
Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories,
and Orders (M3) Survey. The M3 Survey
collects monthly data on the value of
shipments, inventories, and new and
unfilled orders from manufacturing
companies. The data are used by the
Bureau of Economic Analysis, the
Council of Economic Advisers, the
Federal Reserve Board, the Conference
Board, and members of the business
community such as trade associations
and the media to analyze business
conditions in the manufacturing sector.
The associated monthly M3 Survey
estimates are based on a panel of
approximately 5,000 reporting units that
represent approximately 3,100
companies and provide an indication of
month-to-month change for the
Manufacturing Sector. These reporting
units may be divisions of diversified
large companies, large homogenous
companies, or single-unit
manufacturers. The M3 estimates are
periodically benchmarked to
comprehensive data on the
manufacturing sector from the Annual
Survey of Manufactures (ASM), the
Economic Census (shipments and
inventories) and the M3UFO Survey,
which is the subject of this notice.
Unfilled orders data are not collected in
the ASM or the Economic Census. To
obtain more accurate M3 estimates of
unfilled orders, which are also used in
deriving M3 estimates of new orders, we
conduct the M3UFO Survey annually to
be used as the source for benchmarking
M3 unfilled orders data. Industries that
maintain unfilled orders cannot fulfill
the order in the same month in which
the order is received. This is not true for
each industry, and occurs mainly in
industries where production takes
longer than one month. In order to
reduce burden from our respondents,
the M3UFO data are used to determine
which North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS)
industries continue to maintain unfilled
orders. We then utilize that information
to only request unfilled orders on the
monthly M3 survey from the NAICS
industries that actually have unfilled
orders which cannot be completed
within the same month that the order
was placed.
There are no changes to the MA–3000
form, which is used to conduct the
M3UFO survey.
The Census Bureau will use mail out
or mail back survey forms to collect the
data with online reporting encouraged.

Online response for the survey is
typically 70 percent. Companies are
asked to respond to the survey within
30 days of receipt. The Census Bureau
mails letters encouraging participation
to companies that have not responded
within 30 days and later uses telephone
follow-up to seek response from
delinquent companies.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
