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 1996 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, social, and other professional 
service industries. 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 
selected service industries for the period between economic censuses. 
The next economic census is in 1997. This survey will yield 1996 and 
1995 estimates for the aforementioned industries. 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 service firms in the United States. The probability of a firm's 
selection is based on receipts or revenue size (estimated from 
payroll). The sample will provide, with measurable reliability, 
national level statistics on receipts of taxable firms and revenue of 
firms and organizations exempt from Federal income taxes. 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 104-13. 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: November 1, 1996.
Martha Farnsworth Riche,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
