COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY REPORT

The July 2-16, 1982, issues of Commerce Business Daily, SuDoc class C 1.76:,

item 231-G-3, were not sent to depository libraries due to a change in mailing

procedures at the Chicago GPO regional office which inadvertently deleted the

depository libraries from their list of mailing labels. This oversight was

corrected and normal mailing of the COBD resumed on July 19, 1982. The missed

issues will be reprinted and mailed to you by the end of July 1982.

CENSUS UPDATE

The Bureau of the Census recently reversed its decision to issue the Detailed

Population Characteristics, PC80-1-D, and the Metropolitan Housing Characteristic, HC80-2, in microfiche. Both series will be issued by Census in paper.

The first series consists of 53 reports, some very lengthy. The second will

consist of about 250 smaller reports. Because of the size of these series and

the possible spacing problems, we have decided to offer them to libraries in

both paper and microfiche. We will be resurveying them in the near future.

Both series are not due to be issued until mid to late 1983.

Block reports are currently being shipped to depositories in microfiche. A

delay in awarding a contract for the conversion of the maps to microfiche means

they will not be available for distribution until December. However, the paper

sets are available for sale from the Superintendent of Documents, and Census

is selling single copies of the maps.

The Census Tract reports are running ahead of schedule. The maps are currently

being issued and the reports are due to begin in August. Both the maps and

reports will be distributed in paper.

There are still no plans to issue bound volumes for the 1980 Census of

Population and Housing. Classes C 3.223/9: and C 3.224/9:, which represent

the bound volumes, have been removed from the List of Classes. Should Census

change their mind the classes will be reinstated.

BIN CONSTRUCTION NOTICE

Beginning on July 12th and extending through July 28th, we will be installing

new larger bins in the depository distribution area to facilitate the

processing of shipments to depository libraries and reduce postage. This

activity will curtail the normal processing of depository shipments during

the transition period. However, we will continue to mail separates, microfiche, and any title of major importance (i.e. Monthly Catalog ).

The May computer printout update will be implemented once the installation

is completed at the end of July. This printout update will include the

new item standardization listed in your May instructions. There is no change

in the state material you will receive but only to the item number suffix.

The item numbers affected L this s' uudarcl ization b\ state are:
