2014 Company Organization Survey

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of determination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) publishes this notice 
to announce that it is conducting the 2014 Company Organization Survey. 
The survey's data are needed, in part, to update the multilocation 
companies in the Business Register. We have determined that annual data 
collected from this survey have significant application to the needs of 
the public and industry and are needed to aid the efficient performance 
of essential governmental functions. The data derived from this survey 
are not available from any other source.

ADDRESSES: The Census Bureau will furnish report forms to organizations 
included in the survey, and additional copies are available upon 
written request to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 
20233-0101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anthony M. Caruso, Economy-Wide 
Statistics Division, U.S. Census Bureau, Room 6K153, Washington, DC 
20233-6100 or by email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#276649534f48495e096a096446555254486744424954525409404851"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="2968475d414647500764076a485b5c5a46694a4c475a5c5a074e465f">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 182, 224, and 225 of Title 13, 
United States Code (U.S.C.), authorize the Census Bureau to undertake 
surveys necessary to furnish current data on the subjects covered by 
the major censuses. Years that end in ``2'' and ``7'' are considered 
economic ``census years.'' All other years, other than the years when 
the economic censuses are conducted, are considered ``non-census'' 
years. In non-census years, companies report only on basic company 
affiliation and operations of establishments. In these non-census 
years, all multi-establishment companies with 500 or more employees 
report survey information. Also, groups of smaller companies that are 
divided into panels may be selected to report information for one of 
the non-census years. Smaller companies may be selected if an 
organizational change within the company is indicated or if they have 
been selected through probability sampling. The next economic census 
will be conducted for 2017.
    This notice announces that the Census Bureau is conducting the 2014 
Company Organization Survey. The survey is designed to collect 
information on the number of employees, payroll, geographic location, 
current operational status, and kind of business for each establishment 
of companies with more than one location. We have determined that 
annual data collected from this survey have significant application to 
the needs of the public and industry, and are needed to aid the 
efficient performance of essential governmental functions. The survey's 
data are needed, in part, to update the multilocation companies in the 
Business Register. The data collected in the Company Organization 
Survey will be within the general scope, type, and character of those 
that are covered in the economic censuses. Forms NC-99001 (for multi-
establishment companies) and NC-99007 (for single-location companies) 
will be used to collect the desired data. The data derived from this 
survey are not available from any other source.
    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required 
to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure 
to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information 
displays a current valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control 
number. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the OMB 
approved Forms NC-99001 and NC-99007 under OMB Control Number 0607-
0444. We will furnish report forms to organizations included in the 
survey, and additional copies are available upon written request to the 
Director, U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233-0101.
    I have, therefore, directed that the 2014 Company Organization 
Survey be conducted for the purpose of collecting these data.

    Dated: November 24, 2014.
John H. Thompson,
Director, Bureau of the Census.
