I. Abstract 

The Commodity Flow Survey, a 

component of the 2022 Economic 

Census, is the only comprehensive and 

publicly available source of multimodal, 

system-wide data on the volume and 

pattern of goods movements in the 

United States. The Commodity Flow 

Survey is conducted in partnership with 

the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 

Office of the Assistant Secretary for 

Research and Technology, U.S. 

Department of Transportation. 

The Commodity Flow Survey data are 

used by policy makers and 

transportation planners in various 

federal, state, and local agencies to 

assess the demand for transportation 

facilities and services, energy use, safety 

risks, and environmental concerns. 

Additionally, business owners, private 

researchers, and analysts use the 

Commodity Flow Survey data for 

analyzing trends in the movement of 

goods, mapping spatial patterns of 

commodity and vehicle flows, 

forecasting demands for the movement 

of goods, and determining the needs for 

associated infrastructure and 

equipment. 

The survey provides data on the 

movement of commodities in the United 

States from their origin to destination. 

The survey produces summary statistics 

on value, tons, ton-miles and average 

miles by commodity, industry, and 

mode of transportation. The Census 

Bureau will publish these shipment 

characteristics for the nation, census 

regions and divisions, states, and CFS 

defined geographical areas. 

Primary strategies for reducing 

respondent burden in the Commodity 

Flow Survey include: Employing a 

stratified random sample of business 

establishments, requesting data on a 

limited sample of shipment records 

from each establishment with the option 

to provide all shipments in the week, 

accepting estimates of shipping activity, 

applying machine learning to code 

products based on their descriptions, 

providing electronic reporting and 

including the option for consolidated 

reporting of multiple locations through 

a single login for larger companies. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Commodity Flow Survey will be 

conducted on a sample of business 

establishments classified in mining, 

manufacturing, wholesale, and select 

retail and services industries, as defined 

by the North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). The 

survey will also cover auxiliary 

establishments (i.e., warehouses and 

managing offices) of multiestablishment companies. Each selected 

establishment will be surveyed four 

times, once during each calendar 

quarter of 2022. Quarters one and four 

will include a supplement with 

questions on hazardous materials 

packaging for companies that ship 

hazardous materials. Each questionnaire 

will ask the establishment to report data 

for up to 100 shipments for a 

predetermined reporting week. These 

data will include the value, net weight, 

commodity, and origin and destination 

of each selected shipment. Survey 

responses will be collected 

electronically, and respondents will 

have the option to provide all shipments 

for the reporting week instead of 

sampling shipments. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0932.

maintenance services required 

specifically by the collection.) 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

IV. Request for Comments

permit the Department/Bureau to: (a) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the 

accuracy of our estimate of the time and 

cost burden for this proposed collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) Minimize the 

reporting burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include, or 

summarize, each comment in our 

request to OMB to approve this ICR. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you may ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
