The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public

Change, of a Previously Approved
Collection.
Number of Respondents: 160,000.
Average Hours per Response: Quarters
1 and 4–2.5 hours; Quarters 2 and 3–1.5
hours.
Burden Hours: 1,280,000.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau plans to conduct the 2022
Commodity Flow Survey (CFS), a
component of the 2022 Economic
Census, as it is the only comprehensive
source of multi-modal, system-wide
data on the volume and pattern of goods
movement in the United States. The
CFS is conducted in partnership with
the Bureau of Transportation Statistics
(BTS), Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Research and Technology, U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT)
and the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA), U.S. Department of
Transportation.
The survey provides a crucial set of
statistics on the value, weight, mode,
and distance of commodities shipped by
mining, manufacturing, wholesale, and
selected retail and services
establishments, as well as auxiliary
establishments that support these
industries. The Census Bureau will
publish these shipment characteristics
for the nation, census regions and
divisions, states, and CFS defined
geographic areas. As with the 2017
Commodity Flow Survey, this survey
also identifies export, hazardous
material, and temperature-controlled
shipments.
BTS is mandated by Congress under
Title 49 to collect economic data on
transportation mode choice and goods
movement. This information informs
freight flows and is critical to
understanding the use, performance,
and condition of the nation’s
transportation system, as well as
informing transportation investments.
Data on the movement of freight also are
important for effective analyses of
changes in regional and local economic
development, safety issues, and
environmental concerns. They also
provide the private sector with valuable
data needed for critical decision-making
on a variety of issues including market
trends, analysis, and segmentation. Each
day, governments, businesses, and
consumers make countless decisions
about where to go, how to get there,
what to ship and which transportation
modes to use. Transportation constantly
responds to external forces such as
shifting markets, changing
demographics, safety concerns, weather
conditions, energy and environmental
constraints, and national defense
requirements. Good decisions require
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
having the right information in the right
form at the right time.
The CFS provides critical data to
federal, state and local government
agencies to make a wide range of
transportation investment decisions for
developing and maintaining an efficient
transportation infrastructure that
supports economic growth and
competitiveness.
Transportation planners require the
periodic benchmarks provided by a
continuing CFS to evaluate and respond
to ongoing geographic shifts in
production and distribution centers, as
well as policies such as ‘‘just in time
delivery.’’
The 2022 CFS will be an electronic
reporting sample survey of
approximately 160,000 business
establishments in the mining,
manufacturing, wholesale, and selected
retail and services industries, as well as
auxiliary establishments that support
these industries. Respondents will
report online for all four quarters of
2022, including the CFS expanded
hazardous materials supplement in
quarters 1 and 4.
The CFS is the primary source of
information about freight movement in
the United States. Estimates of shipment
characteristics are published at different
levels of aggregation. The CFS produces
summary statistics and a public use data
file. The survey covers shipments from
establishments in the mining,
manufacturing, wholesale, and selected
retail industries, as well as auxiliary
establishments that support these
industries. Federal agencies, state and
local transportation planners and policy
makers, and private sector
transportation managers, analysts, and
researchers strongly support the
conduct of the CFS.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: The survey will be
conducted quarterly over the course of
one year.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Sections 8(b), 131 and, 193. Title 13,
U.S.C. 224 and 225 require response.
The BTS also has authority to collect
these data based on its enabling
legislation, 49 U.S.C. 6302.
