    Needs and Uses: The Annual Survey of Communication Services is a 
vital component of a broad-based, multi-year program at the Census 
Bureau to expand coverage and improve statistics for service-related 
industries. This program is part of an interagency initiative to 
improve statistics in this sector of the economy. This survey will 
provide the only annual source of key measures of the communication 
sector, including the telephone, broadcasting, and cable television 
industries. These data will serve as inputs into the national income 
and product accounts calculated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the 
Bureau of Labor Statistics' Producer Price Indices, and the Department 
of Commerce's publication, Industrial Outlook. In addition, the Census 
Bureau will use results of this survey in the planning and design 
stages of current and future economic census questionnaires by 
providing information on the ability of respondents to report accurate 
and timely data from existing records and by identifying areas of 
dynamic change in the communication sector.
    Affected Public: Federal Government, Businesses or other for-profit 
organizations, Not-for-profit institutions.
