1999 Company Organization Survey

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of determination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Census Bureau is conducting the 1999 Company 
Organization Survey. The survey's data are needed, in part, to update 
the multi-establishment companies in the Business Register. The survey, 
which has been conducted annually since 1974, is designed to collect 
information on the number of employees, payroll, geographic location, 
current operational status, and kind of business for the establishments 
of multi-location companies. We have determined that annual data 
collected from this survey are needed to aid the efficient performance 
of essential governmental functions and have significant application to 
the needs of the public and industry. The data derived from this survey 
are not available from any other source.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Hanczaryk, Economic Planning and 
Coordination Division, U.S. Census Bureau, Room 2747, Federal Building 
3, Washington, DC 20233-6100, telephone (301) 457-2580.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 13, United States Code, Sections 182, 
195, 224, and 225, authorize the Census Bureau to undertake surveys 
necessary to furnish current data on the subjects covered by the major 
censuses. This survey will provide continuing and timely national 
statistical data for the period between economic censuses. The next 
economic censuses will be conducted for the year 2002. The data 
collected in this survey will be within the general scope, type, and 
character of those that are covered in the economic censuses.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required 
to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure 
to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information 
displays a current valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control 
number. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C., 
Chapter 35, the OMB approved the survey on November 3, 1999, under OMB 
control Number 0607-0444. We will furnish report forms to organizations 
included in the survey, and additional copies are available on written 
request to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-0101.
    I have, therefore, directed that the 1999 Company Organization 
Survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.

    Dated: November 12, 1999.
Kenneth Prewitt,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
