2005 Company Organization Survey

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Determination.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is conducting the 
2005 Company Organization Survey. The survey's data are needed, in 
part, to update the multilocation 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.

ADDRESSES: The Census Bureau will furnish report forms to organizations 
included in the survey, and additional copies are available upon 
written request to the Director, Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-
0101.

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) 763-4058.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), 
Sections 182, 195, 224, and 225 authorize the Census Bureau to 
undertake surveys necessary to furnish current data on the subjects 
covered by the 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 2007. The data 
collected in this survey will be within the general scope, type, and 
character of those that are covered in the economic censuses. Forms NC-
99001 and NC-99007 (for single-location companies) 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 Forms NC-99001 and NC-99007 on December 
21, 2004, under OMB Control Number 0607-0444. We will furnish report 
forms to organizations included in this survey, and additional copies 
are available upon written request to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau, 
Washington, DC 20233-0101.
    I have, therefore, directed that the 2005 Company Organization 
Survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.

    Dated: October 12, 2005.
Charles Louis Kincannon,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
