Service 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 receipts and revenue 
for selected service industries are needed 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. Selected service industries include personal, business, 
automotive, repair, amusement, health, other professional, and social 
service industries. This survey will yield 1995 estimates of the dollar 
volume of receipts for taxable firms and revenue of firms and 
organizations exempt from Federal income taxes. These data are not 
publicly available from nongovernment or other governmental sources.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas E. Zabelsky, Chief, Current 
Services Branch, 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 
selected service industries for the period between economic censuses. 
The latest economic census was conducted in 1992. The data 

[[Page 1189]]
collected in this survey will be within the general scope and nature of 
those inquiries covered in the economic censuses.
    The Census Bureau will select a probability sample of service firms 
and organizations in the United States (with receipts or revenue size 
determining the probability of selection) to report in the 1995 Service 
Annual Survey. The sample will provide, with measurable reliability, 
national level statistics on receipts and revenue 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 approval control number 0607-0422 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 Service Annual 
Survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.

    Dated: December 13, 1995.
Martha Farnsworth Riche,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
