SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request
an extension of a currently approved
collection for forms C–700, C–700(R),
C–700(SL), and C–700(F). These forms
are used to conduct the Construction
Progress Reporting Surveys (CPRS) and
collect information on the dollar value
of construction put in place. Form C–
700, for Private Construction Projects,
collects construction put in place data
for nonresidential projects owned by
private companies or individuals. Form
C–700(R), for Multifamily Residential
Projects, collects construction put in
place data for private multifamily
residential buildings. Form C–700(SL),
for State and Local Government
Projects, collects construction put in
place data for state and local
government projects. Form C–700(F), for
Federal Government Projects, collects
construction put in place data for
federal government projects.
The Census Bureau uses the
information from these surveys to
publish the value of construction put in
place for the monthly ‘Construction
Spending’ principal economic indicator.
Published estimates are used by a
variety of private businesses 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 in place data to predict the gross
domestic product, which is presented to
the Board of Governors and has an
impact on monetary policy.
There are currently no planned
content changes to the questionnaires.
II. Method of Collection
An independent systematic sample of
construction projects is selected each
month according to predetermined
sample rates. Once a project is selected,
it remains in the sample until
completion. For the preliminary
mailing, preprinted forms are mailed to
respondents. After the preliminary
mailing, respondents have the option to
report online. Respondents that
consistently report electronically,
receive email notifications and
reminders to complete the online
survey. Nonrespondents are later called
by a Census interviewer and are asked
to report data over the phone.
Interviews are scheduled at the
convenience of the respondent, which
further reduces their burden.
Respondents having their information
available from an internal database at
the time of the interview greatly helps
reduce the time spent on the phone.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0607–0153.
Form Number(s): C–700, C–700(R), C–
700(SL), C–700(F).
Type of Review: Regular submission,
Request for an Extension, without
Change, of a Currently Approved
Collection.
Affected Public: Individuals,
Businesses or Other for Profit, Not-forProfit Institutions, Small Businesses or
Organizations, State and Local
Governments and the Federal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
C–700 = 6,200; C–700(R) = 2,500; C–
700(SL) = 11,800; C–700(F) = 1,500
TOTAL = 22,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 30
minutes for the first month; 10 minutes
for subsequent months. We estimate, on
average, that projects remain in sample
for 12 months.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 51,333.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0 (This is not the cost of
respondents’ time, but the indirect costs
respondents may incur for such things
as purchases of specialized software or
hardware needed to report, or
expenditures for accounting or records

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 131
and 182.
IV. Request for Comments
We are soliciting public comments to
permit the Department/Bureau to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for
the proper functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and
cost burden for this proposed collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Minimize the
reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include, or
summarize, each comment in our
request to OMB to approve this ICR.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you may ask us in your comment
