SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request a 

revision of the currently approved 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) clearance of the Current 

Industrial Reports (CIR) for Wave II. The 

Census Bureau conducts a series of 

monthly, quarterly, and annual surveys 

as part of the Current Industrial Reports 

(CIR) program. The CIR surveys 

primarily publish data on quantity and 

value of shipments of particular 

products and occasionally with data on 

production and inventories; unfilled 

orders, receipts, stocks and 

consumption; and comparative data on 

domestic production, exports, and 

imports of the products they cover. 

These surveys provide continuing and 

timely national statistical data on 

manufacturing. Individual firms, trade 

associations, and market analysts use 

the results of these surveys extensively 

in planning or recommending marketing 

and legislative strategies. 

The CIR program includes both 

mandatory and voluntary surveys. 

Typically, the monthly and quarterly 

surveys are conducted on a voluntary 

basis and annual collections are 

mandatory. The collection frequency of 

individual CIR surveys is determined by 

the cyclical nature of production, the 

need for frequent trade monitoring, or 

the use of data in Government economic 

indicator series. Some monthly and 

quarterly CIR surveys have an annual 

‘‘counterpart’’ collection. The annual 

counterpart collects annual data on a 

mandatory basis from those firms not 

participating in the more frequent 

collection. 

Due to the large number of surveys in 

the CIR program, for clearance purposes, 

the CIR surveys are divided into 

‘‘waves.’’ One wave is resubmitted for 

clearance each year. This year the 

Census Bureau plans to submit 

mandatory and voluntary surveys of 

Wave II for clearance. During the 

economic census years, years ending in 

2 and 7 all voluntary annual surveys are 

made mandatory. For the 2007 

Economic Census the following surveys 

are converting to mandatory status: 

MA311D—‘‘Confectionery’’, MA333N—

‘‘Fluid Power Products for Motion 

Control (Including Aerospace), and 

MA336G—‘‘Aerospace Industry’’. The 

MQ335C—‘‘Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts’’

is discontinued. All known 

manufacturing activities for this 

industry are done outside the United 

States. The surveys included in Wave II 

are: 

Mandatory surveys Voluntary survey 

M311J—Oilseeds, 

Beans, and Nuts 

(Primary Producers).

*M327G—Glass Containers. 

M313N—Cotton and 

Raw Linters in Public Storage.

*MQ311A—Flour Milling Products. 

M313P—Consumption on the Cotton 

System and Stocks.

*MQ325A—Inorganic 

Chemicals. 

MQ313A—Textiles .... MQ325F—Paint, Varnish, and Lacquer. 

MQ315A—Apparel .... *These voluntary surveys have mandatory annual counterparts. 

MQ333W—Metalworking Machinery.

MA311D—Confectionery.

MA314Q—Carpets 

and Rugs.

MA321T—Lumber 

Production and Mill 

Stocks.

MA325G—Pharmaceutical Preparations, except 

Biologicals.

MA333N—Fluid 

Power Products for 

Motion Control (Including Aerospace).

MA333P—Pumps and 

Compressors.

MA335E—Electric 

Housewares and 

Fans.

MA335J—Insulated 

Wire and Cable.

MA336G—Aerospace 

Industry.
