DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

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. 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Report of Organization (formerly 

titled Company Organization Survey). 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0444. 

Form Number(s): NC–99001 and NC– 

99007. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Number of Respondents: 87,000. 

Average Hours per Response: 1 hour 

and 23 minutes. 

Burden Hours: 120,544. 

Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau 

requests a revision of the currently 

approved Report of Organization data 

collection for survey years 2017, 2018 

and 2019. We request an extension of 

the current expiration date to December 

2020 to complete the data collection for 

the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Report of 

Organization. We are changing the name 

of the collection from the Company 

Organization Survey to the Report of 

Organization to reflect how the survey 

name is presented in the survey 

instrument and public-facing 

documentation. 

The Census Bureau conducts the 

annual Report of Organization to update 

and maintain a centralized, 

multipurpose Business Register (BR). In 

particular, the survey supplies critical 

information on the organizational 

structure, operating characteristics, and 

employment and payroll of multiestablishment enterprises. 

For survey year 2017, the Report of 

Organization will be conducted in 

conjunction with the 2017 Economic 

Census, as has been done for previous 

economic censuses. During this year, all 

multi-establishment companies will 

receive Report of Organization inquiries.
