I. Abstract
The Commodity Flow Survey, a
component of the 2022 Economic
Census, is the only comprehensive and
publicly available source of multimodal,
system-wide data on the volume and
pattern of goods movements in the
United States. The Commodity Flow
Survey is conducted in partnership with
the Bureau of Transportation Statistics,
Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Research and Technology, U.S.
Department of Transportation.
The Commodity Flow Survey data are
used by policy makers and
transportation planners in various
federal, state, and local agencies to
assess the demand for transportation
facilities and services, energy use, safety
risks, and environmental concerns.
Additionally, business owners, private
researchers, and analysts use the
Commodity Flow Survey data for
analyzing trends in the movement of
goods, mapping spatial patterns of
commodity and vehicle flows,
forecasting demands for the movement
of goods, and determining the needs for
associated infrastructure and
equipment.
The survey provides data on the
movement of commodities in the United
States from their origin to destination.
The survey produces summary statistics
on value, tons, ton-miles and average
miles by commodity, industry, and
mode of transportation. The Census
Bureau will publish these shipment
characteristics for the nation, census
regions and divisions, states, and CFS
defined geographical areas.
Primary strategies for reducing
respondent burden in the Commodity
Flow Survey include: Employing a
stratified random sample of business
establishments, requesting data on a
limited sample of shipment records
from each establishment with the option
to provide all shipments in the week,
accepting estimates of shipping activity,
applying machine learning to code
products based on their descriptions,
providing electronic reporting and
including the option for consolidated
reporting of multiple locations through
a single login for larger companies.

II. Method of Collection
The Commodity Flow Survey will be
conducted on a sample of business
establishments classified in mining,
manufacturing, wholesale, and select
retail and services industries, as defined
by the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). The
survey will also cover auxiliary
establishments (i.e., warehouses and
managing offices) of multi-
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
establishment companies. Each selected
establishment will be surveyed four
times, once during each calendar
quarter of 2022. Quarters one and four
will include a supplement with
questions on hazardous materials
packaging for companies that ship
hazardous materials. Each questionnaire
will ask the establishment to report data
for up to 100 shipments for a
predetermined reporting week. These
data will include the value, net weight,
commodity, and origin and destination
of each selected shipment. Survey
responses will be collected
electronically, and respondents will
have the option to provide all shipments
for the reporting week instead of
sampling shipments.
