2001 Company Organization Survey

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of determination.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is conducting the 
2001 Company Organization Survey. The survey's data are needed, in 
part, to update the multiestablishment 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 multilocation 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) 457-4058.

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. Form NC-
9901 will be used to collect the desired data.
    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 Form NC-9901 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 Acting Director, U.S. Census 
Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-0101.
    I have, therefore, directed that the 2001 Company Organization 
Survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.

    Dated: October 17, 2001.
William G. Barron, Jr.,
Acting Director, Bureau of the Census.
