The ASM is the only source of 

complete establishment statistics for the 

programs mentioned above. 

The ASM furnishes up-to-date 

estimates of employment and payrolls, 

hours and wages of production workers, 

value added by manufacture, cost of 

materials, value of shipments by class of 

product, inventories, cost of employer’s 

fringe benefits, operating expenses, and 

expenditures for new and used plant 

and equipment. The survey provides 

data for most of these items at the twothrough six-digit NAICS levels. We also 

provide geographic data by state at a 

more aggregated industry level. 

The survey also provides valuable 

information to private companies, 

research organizations, and trade 

associations. Industry makes extensive 

use of the annual figures on product 

class shipments at the U.S. level in its 

market analysis, product planning, and 

investment planning. State 

development/planning agencies rely on 

the survey as a major source of 

comprehensive economic data for 

policymaking, planning, and 

administration. 

The Ownership or Control forms (NC– 

99530) will be used to update the 

Business Register, the basic input to the 

sampling frame for many of our current 

surveys. This enables us to update 

establishments in the Census Bureau’s 

Business Register that are incorrectly 

identified as being single-establishment 

firms. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Title 13, United 

States Code, sections 131, 182, 224, and

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Administration 

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 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: National Coral Reef Monitoring 

Program Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0646. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (extension of 

a currently approved information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 

Average Hours per Response: 25 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 1,303. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

The purpose of this information 

collection is to obtain information from 

individuals in the seven United States 

(U.S.) jurisdictions containing coral 

reefs. Specifically, NOAA is seeking 

information on the knowledge, attitudes 

and reef use patterns, as well as 

information on knowledge and attitudes 

related to specific reef protection 

activities. In addition, this survey will 

provide for the ongoing collection of 

social and economic data related to the 

communities affected by coral reef 

conservation programs. 

The Coral Reef Conservation Program 

(CRCP), developed under the authority 

of the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 

2000, is responsible for programs 

intended to enhance the conservation of 

coral reefs. We intend to use the 

information collected through this 

instrument for research purposes as well 

as measuring and improving the results 

of our reef protection programs. Because 

many of our efforts to protect reefs rely 

on education and changing attitudes 

toward reef protection, the information 

collected will allow CRCP staff to 

ensure programs are designed 

appropriately at the start, future 

program evaluation efforts are as 

successful as possible, and outreach 

efforts are targeting the intended 

recipients with useful information. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Each jurisdiction every 3– 

4 years. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow

Commerce collections currently under 

review by OMB.

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent
