    Description: The Annual Refiling Survey forms are used to verify 
and update existing 2002 North American Industry Classification System 
codes. They also are used to update employers' business names and 
addresses and other geographical information. In addition, the forms 
provide a source of multiple worksite information, which is critical to 
the development of the BLS Business Establishment List (BEL). The BEL 
serves as a sampling frame and a benchmark for many BLS surveys.

Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
