review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of

Type of Request: Regular submission,
Request for an Extension, without

Collection.
Number of Respondents: 5,000.
Average Hours per Response: 20
minutes.
Burden Hours: 20,000.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau is requesting an extension of the
currently approved collection for the
Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories,
and Orders (M3) survey. This survey
collects monthly data from domestic
manufacturers on Form M–3 (SD),
which is mailed at the end of each
month. Data requested are shipments,
new orders, unfilled orders, and
inventories by stage of fabrication. It is
currently the only survey that provides
broad-based monthly statistical data on
the economic conditions in the
domestic manufacturing sector. The
survey is designed to measure current
industrial activity and to provide an
indication of future production
commitments. The value of shipments
measures the value of goods delivered
during the month by domestic
manufacturers. Estimates of new orders
serve as an indicator of future
production commitments and represent
the current sales value of new orders
received during the month, net of
cancellations. Substantial accumulation
or depletion of backlogs of unfilled
orders measures excess (or deficient)
demand for manufactured products. The
level of inventories, especially in
relation to shipments, is frequently used
to monitor the business cycle.
The M3 survey has been conducted
monthly by the U.S. Census Bureau
since 1957. The Advance Report on
Durable Goods, Manufacturers’
Shipments, Inventories and Orders is an
advance snapshot of the current value of
manufacturing in the U.S. It is available
about 18 working days after each month.
The M3 survey also produces the Full
Report on Manufacturers’ Shipments,
Inventories and Orders. This report
details information on the durable goods
industries and includes the non-durable
goods industries. In addition, the Full
Report captures late receipts, and is
available about 23 working days after
each month.
In October 2021, we accelerated total
manufacturing and the nondurable
manufacturing aggregate estimates to the
same time as the Advance Report on
Durable Goods Manufacturers’
Shipments, Inventories and Orders by
creating an advance high-level report of
total manufacturing. This exception to
the normal procedure was initially
approved by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) in September 2021

and has been subsequently extended
annually through means of a separately
submitted memo. This exception has
permitted the public release of
preliminary monthly data on shipments
and inventories of total manufacturing
under the provisions of the OMB’s
Statistical Policy Directive No. 3 on the
Compilation, Release and Evaluation of
Principal Federal Economic Indicators.
The Census Bureau requests that
provisions for the early release of total
manufacturing shipments and
inventories be included in this
clearance, thereby eliminating the need
for a separate memo requesting annual
re-approval from OMB for the early
release. Accelerating the nondurable
release provides data users with early
access to total manufacturing estimates
ahead of the Full Report, giving them an
early snapshot of the direction of this
critical indicator.
Additionally, in September 2024, we
plan to include additional nondurable
goods industry level data, to provide
more detailed estimates at the advance
time.
The M3 survey provides an essential
component of the current economic
indicators needed for assessing the
evolving status of the economy and
formulating economic policy. The Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA), Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has designated this
survey as a principal federal economic
indicator. The shipments and
inventories data are essential inputs to
the gross domestic product (GDP). The
orders data are direct inputs to The
Conference Board Leading Economic
Index (LEI), which is a composite index
of ten key elements designed to monitor
the business cycle (https://
www.conference-board.org/data/
bcicountry.cfm?cid=1). The GDP and the
LEI would be incomplete without these
data. Businesses and consumers
generally place orders for durable goods
when they are confident the economy is
improving. A durable goods report
showing an increase in orders is a sign
that the economy is trending upwards.
Durable goods orders tell investors what
to expect from the manufacturing sector,
a major component of the economy. The
M3 survey also provides valuable and
timely domestic manufacturing data for
economic planning and analysis to
business firms, trade associations,
research and consulting agencies, and
academia.
The data are used for analyzing shortand long-term trends, both in the
manufacturing sector and as related to
other sectors of the economy. The data
on the value of shipments, especially
when adjusted for change in
