Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance the following proposal for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
    Title: 2002 Economic Census Ownership or Control Flier.
    Form Number(s): NC-99510, NC-99520, NC-99521, NC-99530, NC-99542, 
NC-99550, NC-99553, NC-99554, NC-99557, NC-99562, NC-99563, NC-99572, 
NC-99581.
    Agency Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Burden: 48,846 hours in FY 2003.
    Number of Respondents: 2,442,300.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 1.2 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Accurate and reliable industry and geographic codes 
are critical to the Census Bureau's economic statistical programs. As 
single-establishment firms are acquired or begin operating at 
additional locations, it is necessary to update the Bureau's Business 
Register (Standard Statistical Establishment Listing (SSEL). During the 
2002 Economic Census, the Ownership Or Control fliers will be used to 
link establishments that are not single-establishment firms to their 
parent companies or create new multi-establishment firms when they 
operate at more than one location. In prior censuses these questions 
were part of the economic census questionnaires and used to determine 
if single-establishment firms were either owned or controlled by 
another company or if they operate at more than one location. For the 
2002 Economic Census we have removed these questions from economic 
census questionnaires and will include them on a separate flier that 
will only be inserted in economic census questionnaire mailout packages 
sent to single-establishment firms.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit, individuals or 
households, not-for-profit institutions, State, local or Tribal 
government.
    Frequency: Every five years.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Sections 131 and 224.
    OMB Desk Officer: Susan Schechter, (202) 395-5103.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Madeleine Clayton, Departmental Paperwork 
Clearance Officer, (202) 482-3129, Department of Commerce, room 6086, 
14th and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230 (or via the 
Internet at [email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to Susan Schechter, OMB Desk Officer, room 10201, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.

Departmental Paperwork Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief 
Information Officer.
