Transportation Annual 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 1995 data on operating revenue and 
expenses are needed for the for-hire trucking and public warehousing 
industries to provide a sound statistical basis for the formation of 
policy by various governmental agencies, and that these data also apply 
to a variety of public and business needs. These data are not publicly 
available from nongovernment or other governmental sources.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas E. Zabelsky, Chief, Current 
Services Branch, Services Division, on (301) 457-2766.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Census Bureau is authorized to conduct 
surveys necessary 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 
trucking and warehousing services for the period between economic 
censuses. The next economic census is in 1997. The data collected in 
this survey will be within the general scope and nature of those 
inquiries covered in the economic censuses.
    The Bureau of the Census needs reports only from a limited sample 
of trucking and warehousing firms in the United States. The probability 
of a firm's selection is based on revenue size (estimated from 
payroll). The sample will provide, with measurable reliability, 
national level statistics on operating revenue and expenses for these 
industries. We will mail report forms to the firms covered by this 
survey and require their submission within thirty days after receipt.
    This survey has been approved by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) under OMB Control Number 0607-0798 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, D.C. 20233.
    Based upon the foregoing, I have directed that the Transportation 
Annual Survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.

    Dated: December 27, 1995.
Martha Farnsworth Riche,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
