SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request a 

three year extension of a currently 

approved collection of the Form C–404, 

Building Permits Survey. The Census 

Bureau produces statistics used to 

monitor activity in the large and 

dynamic construction industry. Given 

the importance of this industry, several 

of the statistical series are key economic 

indicators. Two such series are (a) 

Housing Units Authorized by Building 

Permits and (b) Housing Starts. Both are 

based on data from samples of permitissuing places. These statistics help 

State and local governments and the 

Federal Government, as well as private 

industry, to analyze this important 

sector of the economy. 

The Census Bureau uses Form C–404 

to collect data to provide estimates of 

the number and valuation of new 

residential housing units authorized by 

building permits. The current form is 

titled ‘‘Report of New Privately-Owned 

Residential Building or Zoning Permits 

Issued’’. We plan to change the title to 

‘‘Report of Building or Zoning Permits 

Issued for New Privately-Owned 

Housing Units’’ to clarify the data being 

requested. We use the data, a 

component of the index of leading 

economic indicators, to estimate the 

number of housing units started, 

completed, and sold, if single-family, 

and to select samples for the Census 

Bureau’s demographic surveys. The 

Census Bureau also uses the detailed 

geographic data collected from State and 

local officials on new residential 

construction authorized by building 

permits in the development of annual 

population estimates which are used by 

government agencies to allocate funding 

and other resources to local areas.
