SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The Census Bureau plans to resubmit

the Survey of Plant Capacity. Data are

gathered from a sample of

manufacturing plants in the United

States. The survey forms collect data on

the value of plant production during

actual operations and at full production

capability.

This resubmission is to address

proposed changes to the MQ–C1 form.

We plan to expand one item to collect

plant operations data by shift. We also

plan to collect the number of temporary

production workers and hours worked

by temporary production workers in

addition to the total number of

production workers and hours worked.

In the 1997 survey, the reference

period covers the fourth quarter of the

survey year only rather than the fourth

quarter of the survey year and the prior

year. This change decreased the

respondent burden from 2 hours to 1.25

hour per respondent. Based on

discussions with potential respondents,

we estimate that the new data will

require about 1.5 hours to complete.

Therefore we estimate the total

respondent burden to complete the

revised form to be 2.75 hours.

The survey data are used in

measuring inflationary pressures and

capital flows, in understanding

productivity determinants, and in

analyzing and forecasting economic and

industrial trends. The survey results are

used by such agencies as the Federal

Reserve Board, Federal Emergency

Management Agency, International

Trade Administration, and the

Department of Defense.

II. Method of Collection

The Census Bureau mails out survey

forms to collect the data. Companies are

asked to respond to the survey within

30 days of the initial mailing. Letters

encouraging participation are mailed to

companies that have not responded by

the designated time.

IV. Request for Comments
