DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Agency Form Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance the following proposal for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of the Census.
    Title: Company Organization Survey.
    Form Number(s): NC-9901.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0444.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 169,589 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 115,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 1 hour and 28 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau conducts the Company Organization 
Survey (COS) annually to update and maintain the Standard Statistical 
Establishment List (SSEL). The SSEL is a computerized list of all 
employer organizations and their establishments and contains such 
information as name, address, physical location, Standard Industrial 
Classification (SIC) code, employment size code, and company 
affiliation. It provides a single universe for the selection and 
maintenance of

statistical samples of establishments, legal entities, or enterprises; 
provides a standard basis for assigning SIC codes; and provides 
establishment level data from multi-establishment companies that are 
summarized and published in the annual County Business Patterns series 
of reports. In this request for revision, we are adding a one-time data 
user survey to selected respondent mailings to collect information on 
the respondents' ability and interest in reporting data electronically 
in subsequent years. We are also deleting an item from the COS report 
form which collected data on health plans.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations, not 
for-profit institutions.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Gerald Tache, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, (202) 
482-3271, Department of Commerce, room 5312, 14th and Constitution 
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Maria Gonzalez, OMB Desk Officer, room 
10201, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: June 22, 1995.
Gerald Tache,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and
