Dear BRDS contact:
We have not received your response to the 2014 Business R&D Survey and Innovation that
we sent to you in late January. Your response was due 30 days from receipt. Your company’s
report is now past due.
This survey is mandatory and confidential. Title 13 of the U.S. Code both authorizes the
collection of information in this survey and makes your response mandatory. Title 13 also
protects the confidentiality for all of your company’s information. Only persons sworn to protect
Title 13 information may see your responses.
You can file your survey online through the Census Bureau’s Business Help Site:
econhelp.census.gov/brdscr. Your User ID and Password are located on the front page of the
questionnaire booklet. Alternatively, you may return your completed questionnaire in the
enclosed envelope.
Your prompt response is greatly appreciated. Please don’t hesitate to call us at 1-800-772-7851,
option ‘5’ between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm Eastern time, Monday through Friday, if you have any
questions or would like to request a time extension.
Please return or submit your survey no later than August 7, 2015 to avoid further collection
attempts.
If you have already submitted your company’s response, please disregard this reminder.
Sincerely,

Kimberly P. Moore
Chief, Economic Reimbursable Surveys Division
