Introduction to

the Economic Census

PURPOSES AND USES OF THE ECONOMIC

CENSUS

The economic census is the major source of facts about

the structure and functioning of the Nation’s economy. It

provides essential information for government, business,

industry, and the general public.

The economic census furnishes an important part of the

framework for such composite measures as the gross

domestic product, input/ output measures, production and

price indexes, and other statistical series that measure

short-term changes in economic conditions.

Policymaking agencies of the Federal Government use

the data, especially in monitoring economic activity and

providing assistance to business.

State and local governments use the data to assess

business activities and tax bases within their jurisdictions

and to develop programs to attract business.

Trade associations study trends in their own and competing industries and keep their members informed of

market changes.

Individual businesses use the data to locate potential

markets and to analyze their own production and sales

performance relative to industry or area averages.

AUTHORITY AND SCOPE

Title 13 of the United States Code (sections 131, 191,

and 224) directs the Census Bureau to take the economic

census every 5 years, covering years ending in 2 and 7.

The 1992 Economic Census consists of the following eight

censuses:

• Census of Retail Trade

• Census of Wholesale Trade

• Census of Service Industries

• Census of Financial, Insurance, and Real Estate

Industries

• Census of Transportation, Communications, and Utilities

• Census of Manufactures

• Census of Mineral Industries

• Census of Construction Industries

Special programs also cover enterprise statistics and

minority-owned and women-owned businesses. (The 1992

Census of Agriculture and 1992 Census of Governments

are conducted separately.) The next economic census is

scheduled to be taken in 1998 covering the year 1997.

AVAILABILITY OF THE DATA

The results of the economic census are available in

printed reports for sale by the U.S. Government Printing

Office and on compact discs for sale by the Census

Bureau (this report excluded). Order forms for all types of

products are available on request from Customer Services,

Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233-8300. A

more complete description of publications being issued

from this census is on the inside back cover of this

document.

Census facts are also widely disseminated by trade

associations, business journals, and newspapers. Volumes containing census statistics are available in most

major public and college libraries. Finally, State data

centers in every State as well as business and industry

data centers in many States also supply economic census

statistics.

WHAT’S NEW IN 1992

The 1992 Economic Census covers more of the economy

than any previous census. New for 1992 are data on

communications, utilities, financial, insurance, and real

estate, as well as coverage of more transportation industries. The economic, agriculture, and governments censuses now collectively cover nearly 98 percent of all

economic activity.

Among other changes, new 1992 definitions affect the

boundaries of about a third of all metropolitan areas. Also,

the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses has now been

expanded to include all corporations.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The economic census has been taken as an integrated

program at 5-year intervals since 1967 and before that for

1963, 1958, and 1954. Prior to that time, the individual

subcomponents of the economic census were taken separately at varying intervals.

TRANSPORTATION—COMMODITY FLOW SURVEY INTRODUCTION III
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 2 SESS: 47 OUTPUT: Thu Feb 29 14:00:11 1996 / pssw02/ disk2/ economic/ tc92cf/ 0/ history

The economic census traces its beginnings to the 1810

Decennial Census, when questions on manufacturing were

included with those for population. Coverage of economic

activities was expanded for 1840 and subsequent censuses to include mining and some commercial activities. In

1902, Congress established a permanent Census Bureau

and directed that a census of manufactures be taken every

5 years. The 1905 Manufactures Census was the first time

a census was taken apart from the regular every-10-year

population census.

The first census of business was taken in 1930, covering 1929. Initially it covered retail and wholesale trade and

construction industries, but it was broadened in 1933 to

include some of the service trades.

The 1954 Economic Census was the first census to be

fully integrated—providing comparable census data across

economic sectors, using consistent time periods, concepts, definitions, classifications, and reporting units. It

was the first census to be taken by mail, using lists of firms

provided by the administrative records of other Federal

agencies. Since 1963, administrative records also have

been used to provide basic statistics for very small firms,

reducing or eliminating the need to send them census

questionnaires. The Enterprise Statistics Program, which

publishes combined data from the economic census, was

made possible with the implementation of the integrated

census program in 1954.

The range of industries covered in the economic censuses has continued to expand. The census of construction industries began on a regular basis in 1967, and the

scope of service industries was broadened in 1967, 1977,

and 1987. The census of transportation began in 1963 as

a set of surveys covering travel, transportation of commodities, and trucks, but expanded in 1987 to cover business

establishments in several transportation industries. For

1992, these statistics are incorporated into a broadened

census of transportation, communications, and utilities.

Also new for 1992 is the census of financial, insurance,

and real estate industries. This is part of a gradual expansion in coverage of industries previously subjected to

government regulation.

The Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises

was first conducted as a special project in 1969 and was

incorporated into the economic census in 1972 along with

the Survey of Women-Owned Businesses.

An economic census has also been taken in Puerto

Rico since 1909, in the Virgin Islands of the United States

and Guam since 1958, and in the Commonwealth of the

Northern Mariana Islands since 1982.

Statistical reports from the 1987 and earlier censuses

provide historical figures for the study of long-term time

series and are available in some large libraries. All of the

census data published since 1967 are still available for

sale on microfiche from the Census Bureau.

AVAILABILITY OF MORE FREQUENT

ECONOMIC DATA

While the census provides complete enumerations every

5 years, there are many needs for more frequent data as

well. The Census Bureau conducts a number of monthly,

quarterly, and annual surveys, with the results appearing in

publication series such as Current Business Reports (retail

and wholesale trade and service industries), the Annual

Survey of Manufactures, Current Industrial Reports, and

the Quarterly Financial Report. Most of these surveys,

while providing more frequent observations, yield less

kind-of-business and geographic detail than the census.

The County Business Patterns program offers annual

statistics on the number of establishments, employment,

and payroll classified by industry within each county.

SOURCES FOR MORE INFORMATION

More information about the scope, coverage, classification system, data items, and publications for each of the

economic censuses and related surveys is published in the

Guide to the 1992 Economic Census and Related Statistics. More information on the methodology, procedures,

and history of the census will be published in the History of

the 1992 Economic Census. Contact Customer Services

for information on availability.

1993 Commodity Flow Survey

GENERAL

The 1993 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) provides data

on the movement of goods by mode of transportation.

These are the first data of this type published by the

Census Bureau since the 1977 Commodity Transportation

Survey (see appendix A for a comparison to previous

surveys). The data from the CFS are in great demand by

transportation analysts and decision makers as they work

towards improving the transportation infrastructure.

This report presents data at the State level. There are

reports for each of the 50 States and the District of

Columbia. The next series of reports to be released will be

at the National Transportation Analysis Region (NTAR).

There are 89 NTAR’s representing one or more Bureau of

Economic Analysis economic areas. A final United States

Summary report, reflecting all revisions based on the

geographic level analyses, will follow these reports.

COVERAGE

This sample survey produced measures of the movement of goods by major type of commodity shipped and

mode(s) of transportation used.

The 1993 CFS covered establishments in mining, manufacturing and wholesale trade, and selected retail and

service industries. The survey also covered selected auxiliary establishments (e.g., warehouses) of in-scope multiunit and retail companies. The survey coverage excluded

establishments classified as farms, forestry, fisheries, oil

and gas extraction, governments, construction, transportation, households, foreign establishments, and most establishments in retail and services.

The industries covered, as defined in the Standard

Industrial Classification Manual: 19871 (SIC), are listed in

the following table:

The source of the frame used for sampling in 1992 was

the Standard Statistical Establishment List (SSEL) of separate business locations with paid employees, maintained

by the Census Bureau. Establishments in these trade

areas that had non-zero payroll in at least one quarter of

1991 were included in the sampling frame of approximately

800,000 establishments.

MILEAGE CALCULATIONS

The Center for Transportation Analysis (CTA) at Oak

Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) developed an integrated transportation network modeling system to compute shipment mileages for the 1993 CFS. To enable

ORNL to compute mileages, the Census Bureau provided

files containing ZIP Code origin and destination pairs for all

reported shipments. To maintain confidentiality of reported

data, no information other than ZIP Codes was provided. A

ZIP Code pair was provided only once, regardless of the

number of shipments that moved between ZIP Codes. To

further protect confidentiality, the Census Bureau also

included dummy pairs of ZIP Code origin and destination in

the file sent to ORNL. The ORNL system used these

five-digit ZIP Codes of the shipment’s origin and destination, as input, and assumed the actual origin and destination points to be geographically located at the ZIP Code

centroids. The system computed mileages, by mode, for all

single modes and selected mode combinations for those

ZIP Code pairs we sent to ORNL. The mileages between

the origin-destination ZIP Code centroids were computed

by finding the minimum impedance path over mathematical

representations of the highway, rail, waterway, air, and

pipeline networks and summing the lengths of individual

links on these paths. Impedance is computed as a weighted

combination of distance, time, and cost factors.

The ORNL mileage network is composed of individual

modal-specific networks representing each of the major

transportation modes — highway, rail, waterway, air, and

pipeline. The links on these specific modal networks are

the representation of line-haul transportation facilities. The

nodes represent intersections and interchanges, and the

access points to the transportation network. For each

five-digit ZIP Code, dummy links are created from the ZIP

Code centroid to the nodes on the network to simulate

local access to the network with the objective being to

locate the nodes on the network that are the closest to the

given centroid. For the truck network, local access is

assumed to exist everywhere; however, for the other

modes this is not true. Before any dummy links are created

for these modes, a decision is made about whether the

mode is accessible from the ZIP Code region. For shipments involving more than one mode, such as truck-rail or

rail-water, links connecting the individual modal networks

are created to represent the transfer of freight between

modes. A measure of link impedance is calculated for each

link in each modal network based on various link characteristics for the specific mode. For example, the set of link

characteristics for the highway network included divided or

undivided roadway, degree of access control, rural or

urban setting, type of pavement, number of lanes, degree

of urban congestion, and length of the link. Link impedance

measures are also assigned to the local access links. A

minimum path algorithm is used to find the minimum

impedance path between the origin ZIP Code centroid and

the destination ZIP Code centroid. The cumulative length

of the links on this path is the shipment distance.

DISCLOSURE RULES

In accordance with Federal law governing census reports,

no data are published that would disclose the operations of

an individual firm or establishment.

ABOUT THE DATA

This section summarizes key points about the data that

will aid the user in analyzing and interpreting the tables

contained in this report.

Coverage Considerations

The CFS captured data on shipments originating from

selected types of business establishments located in the

50 States and the District of Columbia. The data do not

cover shipments originating from business establishments

located in Puerto Rico and other U.S. possessions and

territories. Shipments traversing the U.S. from a foreign

location to another foreign location (e.g., from Canada to

Mexico) are not included, nor are shipments from a foreign

location to a U.S. location. Imported products were included

in the CFS at the point that they left the importer’s

domestic location for shipment to another location. Shipments that were shipped through a foreign territory with

both the origin and destination in the U.S. were included in

the CFS data. The mileages calculated for these shipments exclude the international segments (e.g., shipments

from New York to Michigan through Canada do not include

any mileages for Canada). Export shipments were included,

with the domestic destination defined as the port of exit

from the U.S.

The ‘‘Coverage’’ section of this report lists the SIC

groups covered by the CFS. Other industry areas that were

not covered, but may have significant shipping activity,

include agriculture, government, and retail (other than

warehouses and SIC 5961, Catalog and Mail-Order Houses).

For agriculture specifically, this means that the CFS did not

cover shipments of agricultural products from the farm site

to the processing centers or terminal elevators (most likely

short-distance local movements), but did cover the shipments of these products from the initial processing centers

or terminal elevators onward.

VI 1993 COMMODITY FLOW SURVEY TRANSPORTATION—COMMODITY FLOW SURVEY
 JOBNAME: No Job Name PAGE: 3 SESS: 39 OUTPUT: Thu Feb 29 14:28:05 1996 / pssw02/ disk2/ economic/ tc92cf/ 0/ 07txtint

Within mining, the CFS did not cover shipments from

establishments in SIC 13, Oil and Gas Extraction. The

majority of these establishments had undeliverable mailing

addresses, and due to the mailout/ mailback approach for

CFS, could not be included. Therefore, the CFS data do

not represent complete, or even primary, coverage of

crude petroleum, or natural gas shipments. The CFS

data most affected by this, other than data for these

specific commodities, are data for the pipeline and water

modes, given that a significant percentage of the total

tonnage moving by these modes are from crude petroleum

and/ or natural gas.

Mileage Data for Pipeline Shipments

In the tables, we do not show ton-miles or average miles

per shipment for pipeline shipments. For most of these

shipments, the respondents reported the shipment destination as a pipeline facility on the main pipeline network.

Therefore, for the majority of these shipments, the resulting mileage represented only the access distance through

feeder pipelines to the main pipeline network, and not the

actual distance through the main pipeline network. Pipeline shipments are included in the totals for ton-miles

and average miles per shipment.

Average Miles Per Shipment

For our calculation of average miles per shipment

(tables 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6) we excluded shipments of STCC

27, Printed Matter.

When transporting newspapers, magazines, catalogs,

etc., there is great variation in the meaning of ‘‘shipment’’.

A truckload of magazines traveling to a distribution point

may be viewed as one shipment or, as each magazine will

eventually be delivered to individual subscribers, thousands of shipments. To avoid overstating the impact of

short distance shipments of products in STCC 27, we

excluded shipments of STCC 27 from our calculation of

average miles.

All other variables in the tables (value, tons, and tonmiles) include shipments of STCC 27.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Commodity. Item that an establishment produces, sells,

or distributes. This does not include items that are considered as excess or byproducts of the establishment’s

operation. Respondents reported the description and the

five-digit STCC code for the major commodity contained in

the shipment, defined as the commodity with the greatest

weight in the total shipment.

Distance shipped. In table 3, shipment data are presented for various ‘‘distance shipped’’ intervals. Shipments were categorized into these ‘‘distance shipped’’

intervals based on the great circle distance between their

origin and destination ZIP Code centroids. All other distancerelated data in the tables (i.e., ton-miles and average miles

per shipment) are based on the mileage calculations

produced by Oak Ridge National Laboratories (see the

‘‘Mileage Calculations’’ section for more details).

Great circle distance. The shortest distance between

two points on the earth’s surface.

Mode of transportation. The type of transportation used

for moving the shipment to its domestic destination. For

exports, the domestic destination was the port of exit. On

the questionnaire, we defined the possible modes as

follows:

1. Parcel, U.S. Postal Service, or courier. Delivery

services that carry letters, parcels, packages, and

other small shipments that typically weigh less than

100 pounds. Includes bus parcel delivery service.

2. Private truck. Trucks operated by a temporary or

permanent employee of an establishment or the buyer/

receiver of the shipment.

3. For-hire truck. Trucks that carry freight for a fee

collected from the shipper, recipient of the shipment,

or an arranger of the transportation.

4. Railroad. Any common carrier or private railroad.

5. Inland water and/ or Great Lakes. Barges, ships, or

ferries operating primarily on rivers and canals; on

harbors, the Great Lakes, the Saint Lawrence Seaway;

the Intracoastal Waterway, the Inside Passage to

Alaska, major bays and inlets; or on the ocean close to

the shoreline.

6. Deep sea water. Barges, ships, or ferries operating

primarily on the open ocean. Shipping on the Great

Lakes and the Saint Lawrence Seaway is classified

with inland water. [Note: As part of the mileage

calculation operations, deep sea water shipments were

reclassified to more accurately reflect a shipment’s

route rather than vessel type. Therefore, in the tables,

‘‘deep sea water’’ as a single mode describes shipments moving only on the open waters of the oceans

or the Gulf of Mexico. Using this definition, deep sea as

a single mode (i.e., without an inland water component) is nearly impossible. Most shipments moving

primarily on the open ocean are tabulated under

‘‘inland water and deep sea.’’]

7. Pipeline. Movements of oil, petroleum, gas, slurry,

etc., through pipelines that extend to other establishments or locations beyond the shipper’s establishment. Aqueducts for the movement of water are not

included.

8. Air. Movements using commercial or private aircraft,

and all air service for shipments that typically weigh

more than 100 pounds. Includes air freight and air

express.

9. Other mode. Any mode not listed above.

10. Mode unknown. The shipment was not carried by a

parcel delivery/ courier/ U.S. Postal Service, and the

respondent could not determine what mode of transportation was used.

In the tables, the above modes appear, as well as the

following additional mode descriptions:

1. Single modes. Shipments using only one of the abovelisted modes, except other and unknown.

2. Multiple modes. Shipments for which two or more of

the following modes of transportation were used:

a. Private truck.

b. For-hire truck.

c. Air.

d. Rail.

e. Inland water.

f. Great Lakes.

g. Deep sea water.

h. Pipeline.

We did not allow for multiple modes in combination

with ‘‘parcel delivery, U.S. Postal Service, or courier’’,

‘‘unknown’’, or ‘‘other’’, which, by their nature, may

already include various kinds of multiple-mode activity.

For example, if the respondent reported a shipment’s

mode of transportation as parcel and air, we treated the

shipment as parcel only.

3. Other modes. Shipments for which mode was not

reported, or was recorded as ‘‘Other’’ or ‘‘Unknown.’’

Also, shipments using any other mode or mode combinations not specifically listed in the table.

4. Truck. For-hire truck and/ or private truck.

5. Water. Inland water and/ or Great Lakes and/ or deep

sea water.

6. Great Lakes. On the questionnaire, ‘‘Inland water

and/ or Great Lakes’’ appeared as one mode. In the

tables in this publication, ‘‘Great Lakes’’ appears as a

separate mode. The transportation network and mileage calculation system that Oak Ridge National Laboratories developed for this survey allowed for separate

mileage calculations for inland water and Great Lakes

between the origin and destination ZIP Codes (see the

‘‘Mileage Calculations’’ section for more details). Therefore, a shipment reported as using inland water and/ or

Great Lakes can appear in the tables as a single mode

inland water shipment, or a single mode Great Lakes

shipment, or a multiple mode inland water and Great

Lakes shipment.

7. Inland water. On the questionnaire, ‘‘Inland water

and/ or Great Lakes’’ appeared as one mode. In the

tables in this publication, ‘‘Inland water’’ appears as a

separate mode. See the ‘‘Great Lakes’’ section above

for the explanation.

Shipment. A shipment (or delivery) is an individual movement of commodities from an establishment to a customer

or to another location of the originating company (including

a warehouse, distribution center, retail or wholesale outlet). A shipment uses one or more modes of transportation

including parcel delivery, U.S. Postal Service, courier,

private truck, for-hire truck, rail, water, pipeline, air, and

other modes.

Standard TransportationCommodity Classification(STCC).

A commodity coding system that the Association of American Railroads developed and maintains. The 1993 Commodity Flow Survey used this classification system at the

five-digit level.

Ton-miles. The weight times the mileage for a shipment.

The respondents reported shipment weight in pounds, as

described below. Mileage was calculated as the distance

between the shipment origin and destination ZIP Codes.

For shipments by truck, rail, or inland water/ Great Lakes,

the mileage excludes international segments. For example,

mileages from Alaska to the continental United States

exclude any mileages through Canada (see the ‘‘Mileage

Calculations’’ section for more details). Aggregated poundmiles were converted to ton-miles. The tables in this

publication show ton-miles in millions.

Tons shipped. The total weight of the entire shipment.

Respondents reported the weight in pounds. Aggregated

pounds were converted to short-tons (2,000 pounds). The

tables in this publication show tons in thousands.

Total modal activity. The overall activity (e.g., ton-miles)

of a specific mode of transportation, whether used in a

single-mode shipment, or as part of a multiple-mode

shipment. For example, the total modal activity for private

truck is the total ton-miles carried by private truck in

single-mode shipments, combined with the total ton-miles

carried by private truck in all multiple-mode shipments that

include private truck (private truck and for-hire truck,

private truck and rail, private truck and air, etc.). ‘‘Total

modal activity’’ appears in table 2 of this publication.

Value of shipments. The dollar value of the entire shipment. This was defined as the net selling value, f.o.b. plant,

exclusive of freight charges and excise taxes. The tables in

this publication show value in millions of dollars.

Note: " Deep sea water" as a single mode describes shipments moving only on the open waters of the oceans or the Gulf of Mexico. Most shipments moving primarily on the open ocean

are tabulated under " Inland water and deep sea" .

– Represents zero or less than 1 unit of measure

(S) Data do not meet publication standards due to high sampling variability or other reasons. Some unpublished estimates can be derived by subtracting published data from their

respective totals. However, the figures obtained by such subtraction are subject to these same limitations.

(D) Denotes figures withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual companies.

1CFS data for pipelines exclude most shipments of crude oil. See " About the Data" section for details of CFS coverage.

2Ton-miles is based on the estimated distance traveled, not on Great Circle Distance. See the " Mileage Calculations" section of this report for further explanation.

Comparability With Previous Surveys

The Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) restores a data

program on commodity flows that the Census Bureau

conducted as a part of its 5-year economic census program from 1963 through 1977. The Census Bureau last

published commodity flow data for the 1977 Commodity

Transportation Survey (CTS). Data collected for a modified

1983 CTS did not meet the Census Bureau quality

standards, and were not published. Funding was not

available to conduct the 1987 CTS. The following table

shows a comparison of the 1977, 1983, and 1993 surveys.

For the 1993 CFS, the Census Bureau incorporated improvements identified from the evaluation of previous surveys

and additional research.

Appendix B.

Reliability of the Data

RELIABILITY OF THE ESTIMATES

An estimate based on a sample survey potentially

contains two types of errors—sampling and nonsampling.

Sampling errors occur because the estimate is based on a

sample, not on the entire universe. Nonsampling errors

can be attributed to many sources in the collection and

processing of the data. The accuracy of a survey result is

affected jointly by the two types of errors. The following is

a description of the sampling and nonsampling errors

associated with the estimates computed from the 1993

Commodity Flow Survey (CFS).

MEASURES OF SAMPLING VARIABILITY

Because the estimates were based on a sample, exact

agreement with the results that would be obtained from a

complete census of establishments in the CFS frame using

the same enumeration procedure was not expected. However, because each establishment in the Standard Statistical Establishment List (SSEL) in the specified Standard

Industrial Classifications (SIC) had a known probability of

being selected into the sample, it is possible to estimate

the sampling variablity of the estimates.

The standard error of the estimate is a measure of the

variability among the values of the estimate computed

from all possible samples of the same size and design.

Thus, it is a measure of the precision with which an

estimate from a particular sample approximates the results

of a complete enumeration. The coefficient of variation is

the standard error of the estimate divided by the value

being estimated. It is expressed as a percent. Note that

measures of sampling variablity, such as the standard error

or coefficient of variation, are estimated from the sample

and are also subject to sampling variability. Coefficients of

variation for number of shipments, dollar value, shipment

weight (tons), and ton-miles estimates are shown in tables

B-1 through B-7 in this appendix. Standard errors for the

corresponsing percentage estimates are also shown there.

The standard errors and coefficients of variation presented in these tables permit certain confidence statements about the sample estimates. The particular sample

used in this survey was one of a large number of samples

of the same size that could have been selected using the

same design. In about 9 out of 10 (90 percent) of these

samples, the estimates would differ from the results of a

complete enumeration by less than 1.65 times the standard error of the estimate. In about 19 out of 20 (95

percent) of the samples, the estimates would differ from

the result of a complete enumeration by less than twice the

standard error of the estimate.

To illustrate the computations involved in the above

confidence statements as related to the dollar value

estimates, assume that an estimate of shipment value

published in table 6 is $10,750 million for a particular

commodity and mode of transportation, and that the

coefficient of variation for this estimate, as given in appendix A, table B-6 is 1.8 percent, or 0.018. Multiplying

$10,750 million by 0.018 yields the standard error, $194

million. Typical practice is to construct a 90- or 95-percent

confidence interval. Multiplying $194 million by 1.65 gives

$320 million. Therefore, a 90-percent confidence interval is

$10,430 million to $11,070 million ($10,750 million plus or

minus $320 million). If corresponding confidence intervals

were constructed for all possible samples of the same size

and design, approximately 9 out of 10 (90 percent) of the

intervals would contain the figure obtained from a complete enumeration. Similarly, a 95-percent confidence interval is $10,362 million to $11,138 million ($10,750 million

plus or minus $388 million).

To illustrate the computations involved related to the

percentage estimates, assume that the percentage estimate of shipment value published in table 6 is 25 percent

for a particular commodity and mode of transportation, and

that the standard error of this estimate, as given in

appendix A, table B-6 is 2.2 percent, or 0.022. Multiplying

2.2 percent by 1.65 gives 3.6 percent. So a 90-percent

confidence interval is 21.4 percent to 28.6 percent (25

percent plus or minus 3.6 percent.) If corresponding confidence intervals were constructed for all possible samples

of the same size and design, approximately 9 out of 10 (90

percent) of the intervals would contain the figure obtained

from a complete enumeration.

NONSAMPLING ERRORS

As calculated for this report, the standard error and

coefficient of variation measures sampling errors but does

not measure any systematic biases in the data. Bias is the

In the CFS as in other surveys nonsampling errors can

be attributed to many sources: (1) inability to obtain

information about all cases in the sample, (2) response

errors, (3) definitional difficulties, (4) differences in the

interpretation of questions, (5) mistakes in coding or

recoding the data obtained, and (6) other errors of collection, response, coverage, and estimation. These nonsampling errors also occur in complete censuses.

Some sources of error are specific to the CFS: (1) Some

respondents may have sampled incorrectly when selecting

a sample of their documents, (2) some reporters may have

used but not reported other units for their measurements—tons

instead of pounds, dollars instead of thousands of dollars,

etc., (3) on any shipment selected for sample, only the

major commodity (by weight) was reported; secondary

commodities within shipments were not recorded. Although

unlikely, this might lead to a net undercoverage of some

secondary commodities. These and other problems could

yield a bias of undetermined amount in certain estimates.

Another possible source of bias in estimating the number of shipments, value, shipment weight (tons), and

ton-miles is the imputation of missing data and for data

which fail edit. Any systematic error in the imputation

procedure can introduce bias into the estimates.

Although no direct measurement of the biases due to

nonsampling error has been obtained, precautionary steps

were taken in all phases of the collection, processing, and

tabulation of the data in an effort to minimize their influence.

Biases in the published estimates are due in large part

to imputing data for nonrespondents and for data which fail

edit. The overall imputation rate for the survey was 30 to 40

percent.

Sample Design, Survey Methodology, and Estimation

SAMPLE DESIGN

The sample for the Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) is a

stratified three-stage probability design where the firststage sample units are establishments, the second-stage

units are 2-week periods of 1993, and the third-stage units

are shipments. In a probability sample, (1) there are

distinct samples that can be selected, (2) each sample has

a known probability of selection, and (3) one of the distinct

samples is chosen.

In the first stage, approximately 200,000 domestic establishments were selected from a universe of 800,000 establishments engaged in mining, manufacturing, wholesale,

and selected retail and service activities, as well as

auxiliaries (e.g., warehouses) of multiestablishment companies. Establishments classified in farming, forestry, fishing, oil and gas extraction, government, construction, or

transportation, and most establishments in retail and services are not covered by the CFS.

Establishments were selected from the 1992 Standard

Statistical Establishment List (SSEL) of business establishments with paid employees. The SSEL, maintained by the

Bureau of the Census, is a central multipurpose computerized name and address file of all known multiestablishment firms, and single-establishment employer firms. Establishments having 1991 payroll and classified in the kinds of

business of interest to the survey were eligible for selection.

The establishments in the survey universe were stratified by Standard Industrial Classification1 (SIC), National

Transportation Analysis Region (NTAR), and Type of Operation Code (TOC). (The Department of Transportation (DOT)

developed the NTAR’s to create geographic regions that

could be used in conjunction with other DOT data to

measure and analyze nationwide patterns of transportation

demands and activities.) Within each stratum (1) the

establishments were divided into certainty and noncertainty establishments based on employment size, (2) certainties (typically large firms) were automatically selected,

and (3) a sample of noncertainty establishments was

selected with probability proportional to estimated size,

where the measure of size was based on annual payroll.

The manner in which the sample was selected ensured

that, if an establishment was twice as large as another

establishment, it would typically have twice the chance of

being selected. The final sample contained 106,362 certainty establishments and 90,814 noncertainty establishments.

In the second stage, establishments selected for the

CFS were asked to report for a predetermined 2-week

period in each of the four quarters of calendar year 1993.

Entire 2-week periods were used to reduce the effect of

any daily or weekly bias. Each week of the quarter began

a different 2-week reporting period, resulting in 13 possible

reporting periods originating in the first quarter. Each

sampled establishment was randomly assigned one of

these thirteen 2-week reporting periods in the first quarter.

To avoid potential quarterly cycles, reporting periods in

subsequent quarters were assigned so that an establishment did not report at the same time each quarter. In all,

responses were obtained for 8 out of 52 weeks during

1993.

In the third stage of sampling, for each of the 2-week

periods determined in the second stage, a reporting establishment selected a systematic sample of its shipments

from its files. The questionnaire provided sampling instructions that typically resulted in a sample of between 20 and

50 shipments being selected each quarter.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

The 1993 CommodityFlowSurvey(CFS)is an establishmentbased shipper survey that used mailout/ mailback data

collection. Respondents were asked to select a sample of

their outbound shipments and to report, for each sampled

shipment, the major commodity, weight, value, transportation mode(s), origin, destination, and indicators of whether

the shipment was an export, hazardous material, or containerized. For exports we also collected the mode of

export and city and country of destination. For multicommodity shipments, the respondents were instructed to

report the commodity that made up the greatest percentage of the shipment’s weight.

Two report forms were used for the survey—the

CFS-1000 (the primary questionnaire) and the CFS-2000,

which was sent in the fourth quarter to a subsample of

establishments. The CFS-2000 contained additional questions about the establishment’s transportation equipment

and access to shipping facilities. See appendix E for

sample questionnaires.

ESTIMATION

Estimates in this survey are derived from weighted

shipment data and are then adjusted using several factors

to account for nonresponse, undercoverage, and response

errors. Selected establishments reported for a sample of

their shipments. We weighted these shipments to represent the establishment’s shipments for the year. Each

establishment’s data were then weighted by the inverse of

the establishment’s probability of being selected into the

sample, which allows data from selected establishments to

represent nonselected establishments. We also used results

from the economic census of Mineral Industries, Manufactures, Wholesale, Retail, and Service to construct adjustment factors at the establishment level and at the SIC

level. We adjusted individual establishments to the Census

to correct for sampling error and nonsampling error in the

selection of shipments within the establishment. We performed the SIC-level adjustment to correct for sampling

error in the selection of establishments and to account for

undercoverage and establishment nonresponse.

Standard Transportation Commodity Classification Code

Information

The commodities shown in this report are classified in

accordance with the Standard Transportation Commodity

Classification (STCC) system, published by the Association of American Railroads.1

We provided respondents with a listing of STCC codes

and descriptions at the five-digit level to use in assigning a

commodity code for each shipment. For shipments of

more than one commodity, we instructed respondents to

use the five-digit code for the major commodity, defined as

the commodity of greatest total weight in the shipment.

For this report, we aggregated the STCC codes to the

two-digit level.

The following provides a description of each STCC code

presented in this report.
