SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Annual Wholesale Trade Survey 

(AWTS) covers employer firms with 

establishments located in the United 

States and classified in wholesale trade 

as defined by the North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS). 

This sector comprises two main types of 

wholesalers: (1) Merchant wholesalers 

that sell goods on their own account 

(including sales offices and sales 

branches, except retail stores, 

maintained by manufacturing, refining, 

or mining enterprises apart from their 

plants or mines for the purpose of 

marketing their products) and (2) 

business to business electronic markets, 

agents, and brokers that arrange sales 

and purchases for others generally for a 

commission or fee. 

Firms are selected for this survey 

using a stratified random sample where 

strata are defined by industry and 

annual sales size. The sample, 

consisting of approximately 7,600 

wholesale businesses, is selected from 

the Business Register, which contains 

all Employer Identification Numbers 

(EINs) and listed establishment 

locations. The sample is updated 

quarterly to reflect employer ‘‘births’’ 

and ‘‘deaths’’ by adding new employer 

businesses identified in the Business 

and Professional Classification Survey 

and deleting firms and EINs when it is 

determined they are no longer active. 

Respondents are separated into three 

classifications: (1) Merchant wholesale 

establishments, excluding 

manufacturers’ sales branches and 

offices; (2) manufacturers’ sales 

branches and offices; and (3) agents, 

brokers, and business to business 

electronic markets. The first 

classification is asked to provide sales, 

e-commerce, inventories, method of 

inventory valuation, inventories held 

outside the United States, purchases, 

and operating expenses. The second 

classification is asked to provide sales, 

e-commerce, inventories, method of 

inventory valuation, inventories held 

outside the United States, and operating 

expenses. The third classification is 

asked to provide commissions, sales on 

their own account, and operating 

expenses. These data are collected to 

provide a sound statistical basis for the 

formation of policy by various 

government agencies. These data are 

used to satisfy a variety of public and 

business needs such as economic 

market analysis, company performance, 

and forecasting future demands. Results 

will be available, at the United States 

summary level, for selected wholesale 

industries approximately fourteen 

months after the end of the reference 

year. 

A new sample will be introduced 

with the 2011 AWTS. It is expected that 

approximately 60–70% of the 

companies that are asked to report will 

be doing so for the first time (and, 

consequently, 60–70% of the old sample 

will no longer be asked to report). In 

order to link estimates from the new and 

prior samples, we will be asking 

companies to provide data for 2011 and 

2010. The 2012 AWTS and subsequent 

years will request one year of data until 

a new sample is once again introduced. 

An additional change will occur with 

the 2012 AWTS. We will request data 

on detailed operating expenses that 

were previously requested under a 

separate supplemental mailing 

(conducted every 5 years). The last 

supplemental mailing was conducted in 

conjunction with the 2007 AWTS under 

OMB No. 0607–0942. While the 

wholesale portion of that program will 

be collapsed into the AWTS, we will 

continue to ask only the additional 

detailed expense questions every 5 

years. These detailed expense questions 

are only applicable to the merchant 

wholesale establishments, excluding 

manufacturers’ sales branches and 

offices. 

II. Method of Collection 

We collect this information by 

Internet, fax, mail, and telephone. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0195.

minutes (3-year average).
