ACTION: Notice of determination. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In accordance with title 13, United States Code, sections 182, 224, and 225, I have determined that 1993 Annual Capital Expenditures data from a comprehensive source are needed by various Government agencies, as well as private organizations and researchers, for measuring and analyzing economic performance. Effective with the 1993 survey, this program will provide data on capital expenditures in private nonfarm industry on a comprehensive and consistent basis. Data in the basic annual survey include value of assets for companies and total capital expenditures, capital expenditures for new versus used structures and equipment, and capital expenditures by industry activities in which companies operate. In the 1994 survey, data will include detailed information on capital expenditures by types of structures. The 1995 survey data will include detailed information about capital expenditures by types of equipment. The data are not publicly available from nongovernment or other Government sources. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elinor Champion on (301) 763-7161. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Census Bureau is authorized to conduct surveys to furnish current data on subjects covered by the major censuses authorized by title 13, United States Code. This survey will provide continuing and timely national statistical data on capital expenditures for the period between economic censuses. The data collected in this survey will be within the general scope and nature of those inquires covered in the economic censuses. The Bureau of the Census will select a probability sample of private nonfarm firms in the United States to report in the survey. The sample will provide national level statistics, with measurable reliability, on capital expenditures by industry activity. We will mail report forms to the firms selected for the survey and require most firms to submit their forms 45 days after receipt. We will allow the largest firms 60 days to submit their forms. This survey has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB Control Number 0607-0782) in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, Public Law 96-511, as amended. We will provide copies of the forms upon written request to the Director, Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233. Based on the foregoing determination, I have directed that an annual survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data. Dated: May 17, 1994. Harry A. Scarr, Acting Director, Bureau of the Census. [FR Doc. 94-13832 Filed 6-7-94; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-07-P
