Annual Capital Expenditures Survey

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.

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.
