Abstract:
The Census Bureau conducts the annual Report of Organization survey in order to update and maintain a central, multipurpose Business Register (BR). In particular, the Report of Organization supplies critical information on the composition, organizational structure, and operating characteristics of multi-establishment companies. The BR provides sampling populations and enumeration lists for the Census Bureau's economic surveys and censuses as well as providing the basis for the annual County Business Patterns (CBP) statistical series.

Short Statement:
We are requesting 4,472 more burden hours than currently approved. This accounts for the adjustment of the sample size of multi-establishment companies for the 2022 Economic Census from 165,000 to 200,000 companies. The burden of the collection will be the normal amount for the 2020 and 2021 collections and will be reduced in the third year because of the coordination of this collection with the 2022 Economic Census (explained earlier in this document). The burden we are requesting is an average over the next three years.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$11,100,000
