SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau is the preeminent 

collector and provider of timely, 

relevant and quality data about the 

people and economy of the United 

States. Economic data are the Census 

Bureau’s primary program commitment 

during non-decennial census years. The 

economic census, conducted under 

authority of Title 13, United States 

Code, is the primary source of facts 

about the structure and functioning of 

the Nation’s economy and features 

unique industry and geographic detail. 

Economic census statistics serve as part 

of the framework for the national 

accounts and provide essential 

information for government, business 

and the general public. The 2012 

Economic Census covering the Mining 

Sector (as defined by the North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) will measure the 

economic activity of almost 26,000 

mineral establishments. 

The information collected from 

establishments in this sector of the 

economic census will produce basic 

statistics for a number of 

establishments, shipments, payroll, 

employment, detailed supplies and 

fuels consumed, depreciable assets, 

inventories, and capital expenditures. It 

also will yield a variety of subject 

statistics, including shipments by 

product line, type of operation, size of 

establishments and other industryspecific measures. 

Primary strategies for reducing burden 

in Census Bureau economic data 

collections are to increase electronic 

reporting through broader use of 

computerized self-administered census 

questionnaires, on-line questionnaires 

and other electronic data collection. 

II. Method of Collection 

Establishments included in this 

collection will be selected from a frame 

given by the Census Bureau’s Business 

Register. To be eligible for selection, an 

establishment will be required to satisfy 

the following conditions: (i) It must be 

classified in the mining sector; (ii) it 

must be an active operating 

establishment of a multi-establishment 

firm (including operations under 

exploration and development), or it 

must be a single-establishment firm 

with payroll; and (iii) it must be located 

in one of the 50 states, offshore areas, or 

the District of Columbia. Mail selection 

procedures will distinguish the 

following groups of establishments:
