Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Commerce. Title: Construction Progress Reporting Surveys. OMB Control Number: 0607–0153. Form Number(s): C–700, C–700(R), C– 700(SL), C–700(F). Type of Request: Regular submission, Request for an Extension, without change of a currently approved collection. Number of Respondents: 22,000. Average Hours per Response: Respondents will each complete 12 monthly reports on average. We estimate it will take 30 minutes to complete the survey the first month and 10 minutes each remaining month that the project is under construction. Burden Hours: 51,333. Needs and Uses: The Construction Progress Reporting Surveys (CPRS) collect information on the dollar value of construction put in place on nonresidential building projects under construction by private companies or individuals, private multifamily residential buildings, and building projects under construction by federal and state and local governments. Form C–700 is used to collect data on the construction of privately-owned nonresidential buildings and structures. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:09 Nov 22, 2021 Jkt 256001 Form C–700(R) is used to collect data on privately-owned residential building projects with two or more housing units. Form C–700(SL) is used to collect data on state and local government construction projects. Form C–700(F) is used to collect data on federal government construction projects. The Census Bureau uses the information collected on these forms to publish estimates of the monthly dollar value of construction put in place. Statistics from the CPRS become part of the monthly ‘‘Value of Construction Put in Place’’ or ‘‘Construction Spending’’ series, a Principal Economic Indicator. Published estimates are used by a variety of private business and trade associations to estimate the demand for building materials and to schedule production, distribution, and sales efforts. They also provide various government agencies with a tool to evaluate economic policy. For example, Bureau of Economic Analysis staff use data to develop the construction components of gross private domestic investment in the gross domestic product. The Federal Reserve Board and the Department of the Treasury use the value put in place data to predict the gross domestic product, which is presented to the Board of Governors and has an impact on monetary policy. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal government; Federal government. Frequency: Monthly. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Sections 131 and 182. This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
