2006 Company Organization Survey

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Determination.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census is conducting the 2006 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 the type 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, Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 
20233-0101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Hanczaryk, Economic Planning and 
Coordination Division, Bureau of the Census, 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 major censuses. This survey will provide continuing and 
timely national statistical data for the period between economic 
censuses. The next economic census 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 the survey, and additional copies 
are available on written request to the Director, Bureau of the Census, 
Washington, DC 20233-0101.
    I have, therefore, directed that the 2006 Company Organization 
Survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.

    Dated: August 29, 2006.
Charles Louis Kincannon,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
