SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The 1997 Distribution of Sales by

Class of Customer is part of, and

supplemental to, the 1997 Census of

Manufactures. The report is done on a

10 year cycle for years ending in ‘‘7.’’

The data tabulated from this survey are

used by the Government, the academic

community, and the private sector. The

Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is

the principal Government user. The

BEA uses the data as input to its

National Income and Product Accounts.

Respondents, chosen from the 1997

Census of Manufactures, will receive

report forms with their total product

shipments data imprinted on the forms

based on data they reported in the

census. Multi-unit establishments are

asked what portion of their shipments

were to other establishments of their

company and what portion of their

shipments were to establishments not of

their company. They are further asked

to break out these data for the portions

going to wholesale, retail,

manufacturing, government, and other.

The single-unit form is similar, except

respondents are not asked about other

establishments of their company.

II. Method of Collection

Data are collected using two survey

forms, one for single-unit

establishments the other for multi-unit

establishments. The panel is chosen

from all mailed establishments in the

1997 Census of Manufactures using

probability proportionate to size. The

panel is also stratified by single-unit/

multi-unit by 6-digit North American

Industry Classification (NAICS) industry

to assure that all NAICS industries are

properly represented.
