The Census Bureau will include an
Ownership Or Control flier in the 2002 Economic Census mailing
packages sent to single- establishment firms. These fliers are used
to determine if a single-establishment firms is owned by another
firm or if it operates at more than one location. In prior censuses
these questions were on the economic census questionnaires, but
since they only apply to single-establishment firms, they are only
being sent to single-establishment firms.
