The information collected on these
forms is used to publish estimates of the monthly value of
construction put in place (1) for nonresidential projects owned by
private companies or individuals; (2) for projects owned by state
and local government agencies; (3) for multifamily residential
building projects owned by private companies or individuals; and
(4) for projects owned by the federal government. These statistics
are used extensively by the Federal Government in making policy
decisions and become part of the gross domestic product. The
private sector uses the statistics for market analysis and other
research.
The change in burden reflects
the drop in the number of respondents/projects sampled due to the
decline in construction activity, and the increase in the number of
respondents due to the addition of form C-700 (F) to capture
federal construction spending.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
