Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

DOC has submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

clearance the following proposal for 

collection of information under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Information and 

Communication Technology Survey. 

Form Number(s): ICT–1(S), ICT–1(M), 

ICT–1(Long). 

Agency Approval Number: 0607–

0909. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden: 79,903 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 46,000. 

Average Hours Per Response: ICT–

1(S)—1 hour and 4 minutes, ICT–1(M)—

2 hours and 8 minutes, ICT–1(Long)—21 

hours. 

Needs and Uses: A concern for 

economic policymakers is the lack of 

available data related to e-business 

infrastructure investment. Such data is 

critical for evaluating productivity 

growth, changes in industrial capacity, 

measures of economic performance, and 

current economic developments. Rapid 

changes and advances in Information 

and Communication Technology (ICT) 

equipment have resulted in these assets 

having short useful lives and a tendency 

to be replaced much quicker than other 

types of equipment. Companies are 

expensing the full cost of such assets 

during the current annual period rather 

than capitalizing the value of such 

assets and expensing the cost over two 

or more years. In some cases this is due 

to the short useful life of the asset, and 

in other cases this is because companies 

have varying dollar levels for 

capitalization. 

The Annual Capital Expenditures 

Survey (ACES) (OMB Project 0607–

0782) currently collects annual data on 

business capital expenditures and 

detailed types of structures and 

equipment data every five years. This 

infrequent collection of types of 

structures and equipment detail and the 

fact that the ACES does not include 

non-capitalized expenditures for ebusiness infrastructure investment 

creates serious data gaps. 

As a result, the Information and 

Communication Technology Survey 

(ICTS) was developed as a supplement 

to the ACES. For the ICTS, we use the 

ACES sampling, follow-up and 

estimation methodologies including 

mailing to the same employer 

companies as the ACES. This data 

collection supplements the current 

source of comprehensive statistics on 

business investment in equipment and 

software for private nonfarm businesses 

in the United States. The ICTS is an 

important part of the Federal 

Government statistical program to 

improve and supplement ongoing 

statistical programs.

This request is for a revision of a 

currently approved collection and 

covers the 2004 through 2006 

Information and Communication 

Technology Survey. Major revisions 

from the previous ICTS are the 

collection of capital expenditures data 

for the four types of ICT equipment and 

software cited below, and the 

incorporation of the 2002 North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) into the ICTS. Capital 

expenditures data will only be collected 

for computers and peripheral 

equipment; ICT equipment, excluding 

computers and peripherals; 

electromedical and electrotherapeutic 

apparatus; and, computer software, 

including payroll associated with 

software development. These 

capitalized data will be collected 

annually on the ICTS, except when 

collected in the ACES once every five 

years. Beginning with the 2004 ICTS, we 

will publish data based on the 2002 

NAICS. We will collect and publish data 

for approximately 136 industries. This 

is an increase of four industries from the 

1997 NAICS. 

The plan for the continued survey is 

to collect industry-level capital 

expenditures and non-capitalized 

expenses (purchases, and operating 

leases and rental payments) for the four 

types of ICT equipment and software 

mentioned above. This collection is 

intended to represent total business 

spending for ICT equipment by all 

employer firms and provide 

comprehensive control estimates for 

each type of equipment and software by 

industry. Companies that operate in 

only one industry receive an ICT–1(S) 

form. These companies are not asked to 

report ICT expenditures by industry 

which eliminates the need for 

respondent industry coding. Companies 

that operate in more than one but less 

than nine industries receive an ICT–

1(M) form. And, companies that operate 

in nine or more industries receive an 

ICT–1(L) form. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, Not-for-profit institutions. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., 

Sections 182, 224, and 225.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

DOC has submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

clearance the following proposal for 

collection of information under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Annual Capital Expenditures 

Survey. 

Form Number(s): ACE–1 (S), ACE–1 

(M), ACE–1(Long), ACE–1 (I), ACE–2, 

ACE–2 (I). 

Agency Approval Number: 0607–

0782. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden: 132,900 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 61,000. 

Avg Hours per Response: ACE–1 (S)—

2 hours, ACE–1 (M)—3 hours, ACE–1 

(Long)—16 hours, ACE–2—1 hour. 

Needs and Uses: A major concern of 

economic policymakers is the adequacy 

of investment in plant and equipment. 

Data on the amount of business 

expenditures for new plant and 

equipment and measures of the stock of 

existing facilities are critical to evaluate 

productivity growth, the ability of U.S. 

business to compete with foreign 

business, changes in industrial capacity, 

and measures of overall economic 

performance. The ACES is the current 

source of comprehensive statistics on 

business investment in buildings and 

other structures, machinery, and 

equipment for private nonfarm 

businesses in the United States. The 

ACES is an integral part of the Federal 

Government statistical program to 

improve and supplement ongoing 

statistical programs. Federal 

Government agencies, including the 

Census Bureau, use the data to improve 

and supplement ongoing statistical 

programs. 

This request is for a revision of a 

currently approved collection and 

covers the 2004 through 2006 ACES. 

Major revisions from the previously 

approved collection are the elimination 

of the collection of detailed capital 

expenditures by type of structure and 

type of equipment, and the 

incorporation of the 2002 North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) into the ACES. Detailed 

capital expenditures by type of structure 

and type of equipment data were 

collected in the 2003 ACES. These data, 

collected together once every five years, 

will not be requested again until the 

2008 ACES. Beginning with the 2004 

ACES we will publish data by the 2002 

NAICS. We will collect and publish data 

for approximately 136 industries. This 

is an increase of four industries from the 

1997 NAICS. 

The plan for the continued survey is 

a basic annual survey that collects fixed 

assets and depreciation, sales and 

receipts, total capital expenditures for 

new and used structures and equipment 

separately, and capitalized computer 

software developed or obtained for 

internal use, from employer enterprises. 

This collection is intended to represent 

the capital expenditure activity of all 

employer firms and provide 

comprehensive control estimates of total 

capital expenditures for structures and 

equipment by industry. Companies that 

operate in only one industry will 

receive an ACE–1 (S) form. These 

companies are not asked to report 

capital expenditures by industry which 

eliminates the need for respondent 

industry coding. Companies that operate 

in more than one but less than nine 

industries will receive an ACE–1 (M) 

form. And, companies that operate in 

nine or more industries will receive an 

ACE–1 (L) form. 

All ACE–1 forms request sales and 

receipts information to calculate 

industry investment to sales ratios and 

to assist in verifying that consolidated 

company data are being reported. Assets 

and depreciation information collected 

assists in measuring changes in the 

Nation’s capital stock estimates. As part 

of the basic survey, we also collect data 

annually from a small sample of 

nonemployer enterprises. Using Form 

ACE–2, the survey will request that 

nonemployer companies report current 

year capital expenditures data. This 

collection is intended to better represent 

total capital expenditures activity of all 

firms. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, Not-for-profit institutions. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., 

Sections 182, 224, and 225.
