Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 243 / Thursday, December 17, 2020 / Notices
The primary sponsors of this
collection and users of these data are the
Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and the
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The
FRB uses these data in several ways.
First, the capital workweek data is used
as an indicator of capital use in the
estimation of monthly output (industrial
production). Second, the workweek data
is used to improve the projections of
labor productivity that are used to align
industrial production (IP) with
comprehensive benchmark information
in the Manufacturing Sector of the
Economic Census and the Annual
Survey of Manufactures. Third, the
utilization rate data assists in the
assessment of recent changes in IP, as
most of the high-frequency movement in
utilization rates reflect production
changes rather than capacity changes.
Fourth, the time series of utilization rate
data for each industry, in combination
with the FRB IP data, is used to estimate
current and historical measures of
capacity consistent with the FRB
production measures. The DLA uses
these data to assess readiness to meet
demand for goods under selected
national emergency scenarios.
II. Method of Collection
The Census Bureau mails letters to
respondents instructing them how to
report electronically. Companies are
asked to respond within 20 days of the
initial mailing. The due date will be
imprinted at the top of the letter. A
reminder email is sent a week before the
due date to delinquent respondents.
Letters encouraging participation are
mailed to companies that have not
responded by the designated due date.
A final email is sent to delinquent
respondents with information for
reporting online. Lastly, we will
conduct a telephone follow-up.
