Terms of Clearance:
OMB approves the full scale Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES). In addition, in light of the Census Bureau’s finding in Supporting Statement Part B “that NAICS classifications can be unnatural or challenging for some businesses,” the Census Bureau by June 2024 shall provide OMB a research plan (and relevant research updates) to address such NAICS classification issues. This research plan should include ways the Census Bureau plans to estimate the percentage of respondents across collections that select an incorrect NAICS code; how the Census Bureau plans to estimate the extent to which differences in NAICS code assignments by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the same establishments are due to misclassifications in the Census Business Register; and possible approaches the Census Bureau could take to reduce NAICS misclassification.

Abstract:
The Census Bureau plans to conduct a Dress Rehearsal for the AIES for survey year 2022 and afterward will conduct the AIES on an annual basis, beginning in survey year 2023. The AIES is a new survey designed to integrate and replace seven existing annual business surveys into one survey. The AIES will provide the only comprehensive national and subnational data on business revenues, expenses, and assets on an annual basis. The AIES is designed to combine Census Bureau collections to reduce respondent burden, increase data quality, and allow the Census Bureau to operate more efficiently to reduce costs.
