BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders 

Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0561. 

Form Number(s): MA–3000. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Number of Respondents: 6,000. 

Average Hours per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 3,000. 

Needs and Uses: The data collected in 

the Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders 

(M3UFO) Survey will be used to 

benchmark the new and unfilled orders 

information published in the monthly 

Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories, 

and Orders (M3) Survey. The M3 Survey 

collects monthly data on the value of 

shipments, inventories, and new and 

unfilled orders from manufacturing 

companies. The data are used by the 

Bureau of Economic Analysis, the 

Council of Economic Advisers, the 

Federal Reserve Board, the Conference 

Board, and members of the business 

community such as trade associations 

and the media to analyze business 

conditions in the manufacturing sector. 

The associated monthly M3 Survey 

estimates are based on a panel of 

approximately 5,000 reporting units that 

represent approximately 3,100 

companies and provide an indication of 

month-to-month change for the 

Manufacturing Sector. These reporting 

units may be divisions of diversified 

large companies, large homogenous 

companies, or single-unit 

manufacturers. The M3 estimates are 

periodically benchmarked to 

comprehensive data on the 

manufacturing sector from the Annual 

Survey of Manufactures (ASM), the 

Economic Census (shipments and 

inventories) and the M3UFO Survey, 

which is the subject of this notice. 

Unfilled orders data are not collected in 

the ASM or the Economic Census. To 

obtain more accurate M3 estimates of 

unfilled orders, which are also used in 

deriving M3 estimates of new orders, we 

conduct the M3UFO Survey annually to 

be used as the source for benchmarking 

M3 unfilled orders data. Industries that 

maintain unfilled orders cannot fulfill 

the order in the same month in which 

the order is received. This is not true for 

each industry, and occurs mainly in 

industries where production takes 

longer than one month. In order to 

reduce burden from our respondents, 

the M3UFO data are used to determine 

which North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) 

industries continue to maintain unfilled 

orders. We then utilize that information 

to only request unfilled orders on the 

monthly M3 survey from the NAICS 

industries that actually have unfilled 

orders which cannot be completed 

within the same month that the order 

was placed. 

There are no changes to the MA–3000 

form, which is used to conduct the 

M3UFO survey. 

The Census Bureau will use mail out/ 

mail back survey forms to collect the 

data with online reporting encouraged. 

Online response for the survey is 

typically 70 percent. Companies are 

asked to respond to the survey within 

30 days of receipt. The Census Bureau 

mails letters encouraging participation 

to companies that have not responded 

within 30 days and later uses telephone 

follow-up to seek response from 

delinquent companies. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., 

Sections 131 and 182. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. 

Follow the instructions to view 

Department of Commerce collections 

currently under review by OMB. 

Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to OIRA_Submission@

omb.eop.gov or fax to (202)395–5806.
