2010 Company Organization Survey

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of determination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is conducting the 
2010 Company Organization Survey. The survey's data are needed, in 
part, to update the multilocation companies in the Business Register. 
The survey, which has been conducted annually since 1974, is designed 
to collect information on the number of employees, payroll, geographic 
location, current operational status, and kind of business for each 
establishment of companies with more than one location. We have 
determined that annual data collected from this survey are needed to 
aid the efficient performance of essential governmental functions, and 
that these data have significant application to the needs of the public 
and industry. The data derived from this survey are not available from 
any other source.

ADDRESSES: The Census Bureau will furnish report forms to organizations 
included in the survey, and additional copies are available on written 
request to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-0101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joy P. Pierson, Economic Planning and 
Coordination Division, U.S. Census Bureau, Room 8K319, Washington, DC 
20233-6100 or by e-mail at <<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#eb818492c59bc59b828e99988485ab888e85989e98c58c849d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c3a9acbaedb3edb3aaa6b1b0acad83a0a6adb0b6b0eda4acb5">[email protected]</span></a>>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 182, 195, 224, and 225 of Title 13, 
United States Code (U.S.C.), authorize the Census Bureau to undertake 
surveys necessary to furnish current data on the subjects covered by 
the major censuses. In years that do not end in 2 and 7, companies 
report only on basic company affiliation and operations of 
establishments not within scope of the economic censuses. In these non-
census years, all multi-establishment companies with 250 or more 
employees report survey information. Also, groups of smaller companies 
that are divided into panels may be selected to report information for 
one of the non-census years. Smaller companies may be selected if an 
organizational change within the company is indicated, or if they have 
been selected through the probability sampling procedure. The next 
economic census will be conducted for the year 2012. The data collected 
in the Company Organization Survey will be within the general scope, 
type, and character of those that are covered in the economic censuses. 
Forms NC-99001 and NC-99007 (for single-location companies) will be 
used to collect the desired data.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required 
to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure 
to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information 
displays a current valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control 
number. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C., 
Chapter 35, the OMB approved Forms NC-99001 and NC-99007 under OMB 
Control Number 0607-0444. We will furnish report forms to organizations 
included in the survey, and additional copies are available on written 
request to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-0101.
    I have, therefore, directed that the 2010 Company Organization 
Survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.

    Dated: November 16, 2010.
Robert M. Groves,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
