Annual Capital Expenditures Survey

ACE-L3
(1-2011)

FOURTH REQUEST

FROM THE CHIEF,
COMPANY STATISTICS DIVISION
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
We still have not received your response to the 2010 Annual Capital Expenditures Survey
(ACES) form originally mailed to you in March. Title 13 of the United States Code
requires that you respond to this survey. If you recently submitted a response, we thank
you and ask that you disregard this notice.
It is important that this survey be completed. As explained in an earlier letter, the data
collected on the survey are a key source of information about our country’s economic
performance. Business investment in structures and equipment is an important
component of the official estimate of Gross Domestic Product. The investment data also
help U.S. businesses to identify market opportunities, develop new products and establish
strategic plans.
We are enclosing a duplicate form. The ACES survey can also be completed online
using Centurion. To file electronically using this user-friendly application, go to
http://bhs.econ.census.gov/BHS/acesict/index.html.
If book figures are not available, we accept reasonable estimates. If you have questions,
need help completing the survey, or need an extension of time for filing, please call 1800-528-3049. Thank you for your cooperation and your contribution to this survey.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey L. Mayer
