Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 243 / Thursday, December 17, 2020 / Notices 81875 

The primary sponsors of this 

collection and users of these data are the 

Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and the 

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The 

FRB uses these data in several ways. 

First, the capital workweek data is used 

as an indicator of capital use in the 

estimation of monthly output (industrial 

production). Second, the workweek data 

is used to improve the projections of 

labor productivity that are used to align 

industrial production (IP) with 

comprehensive benchmark information 

in the Manufacturing Sector of the 

Economic Census and the Annual 

Survey of Manufactures. Third, the 

utilization rate data assists in the 

assessment of recent changes in IP, as 

most of the high-frequency movement in 

utilization rates reflect production 

changes rather than capacity changes. 

Fourth, the time series of utilization rate 

data for each industry, in combination 

with the FRB IP data, is used to estimate 

current and historical measures of 

capacity consistent with the FRB 

production measures. The DLA uses 

these data to assess readiness to meet 

demand for goods under selected 

national emergency scenarios. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Census Bureau mails letters to 

respondents instructing them how to 

report electronically. Companies are 

asked to respond within 20 days of the 

initial mailing. The due date will be 

imprinted at the top of the letter. A 

reminder email is sent a week before the 

due date to delinquent respondents. 

Letters encouraging participation are 

mailed to companies that have not 

responded by the designated due date. 

A final email is sent to delinquent 

respondents with information for 

reporting online. Lastly, we will 

conduct a telephone follow-up.
