OMB Information Collection Request

2022 Economic Census

OMB Control Number 0607-0998

Part A. Justification

1. Necessity of Information Collection

The 2022 Economic Census will compile statistics on an estimated 8.3 million employer business establishments in industries defined by the 2022 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Data on 4.7 million of these establishments will be obtained by direct data collection from an estimated 4.4 million respondents. Data from administrative records or imputation will be used for the remaining 3.6 million establishments - as well as for any contacted establishments that fail to respond.

This request for approval covers the information collection instruments and procedures that will be used in the enumeration of business establishments located in the United States and associated offshore areas (referred to as Stateside) as well as Puerto Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa (referred to as island areas). The island areas component provides the only source of comprehensive economic data for the island areas at a geographic level similar to U.S. counties. In addition to the general enumeration of businesses, the 2022 census program also includes surveys of business owners (OMB Control No. 0607-1004), vehicles (OMB Control No. 0607-0892), and commodity flows (OMB Control No. 0607-0932). Those surveys are submitted separately.

For survey year 2022, the Report of Organization (OMB Control No. 0607-0444) data collection will be conducted in conjunction with the 2022 Economic Census, as has been done for previous economic censuses. During this year, the universe of multi-establishment companies will receive Report of Organization inquiries. Establishments with industry classifications that are out-of-scope of the economic census will receive the Report of Organization questionnaire, while in-scope establishments will receive these inquiries through the Economic Census questionnaires.

The public administration sector (i.e., governments) is out of scope to the economic census. The U.S. Census Bureau conducts, and submits separately for approval, the quinquennial census of governments and other current programs that measure the activities of government establishments (OMB Control No. 0607-0585).

The 2022 Economic Census is required by law under Title 13, United States Code (USC). Section 131 of this statute directs the taking of a census at 5-year intervals. Section 191 defines the geographic scope of the census to include the island areas and Section 224 makes reporting mandatory. Section 193 of Title 13 authorizes the collection of supplemental statistics in conjunction with the Economic Census.

The 2022 Economic Census will cover the following NAICS sectors of the U.S. economy:

• Agriculture (Support Activities for Crop Production and Support Activities for Animal Production, only for Stateside)

• Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction

• Utilities

• Construction

• Manufacturing

• Wholesale Trade

• Retail Trade

• Transportation and Warehousing

• Information

• Finance and Insurance

• Real Estate and Rental and Leasing

• Professional, Scientific and Technical Services

• Management of Companies and Enterprises

• Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services

• Educational Services

• Health Care and Social Assistance

• Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation

• Accommodation and Food Services

• Other Services (except Public Administration)

For more details on the NAICS codes included in the 2022 Economic Census, see Section 19 below.

Table 1 describes economic activities covered by the Economic Census by industry sector.

Table 1: Economic Activities by Sector
Sector	Activities
11	The Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting sector distinguishes two basic activities: agricultural production and agricultural support activities. The 2022 Economic Census is expanding the Stateside data collection to include support activities for crop production and animal production as these non-farm business establishments are not included in the Census of Agriculture conducted by the National Agricultural Statistics Service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Agricultural support activities include establishments that perform one or more activities associated with farm operation, such as soil preparation, planting, harvesting, and management, on a contract or fee basis. Support activities for forestry and agricultural production establishments are excluded.
21	The Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector of the economic census distinguishes two basic activities: mine operation and mining support activities.
22	The Utilities sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in the provision of utility services through a permanent infrastructure.
23	The Construction sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in the construction of buildings and other structures, additions, alterations, reconstruction, installation, and maintenance and repairs.
31-33	The Manufacturing sector comprises establishments engaged in the mechanical, physical, or chemical transformation of materials, substances, or components into new products. The assembling of component parts of manufactured products is considered manufacturing, except in cases where the activity is appropriately classified in Sector 23, Construction.
42	The Wholesale Trade sector comprises establishments engaged in wholesaling merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise. Wholesalers are organized to sell or arrange the purchase or sale of (a) goods for resales (i.e., goods sold to other wholesalers or retailers), (b) capital or durable nonconsumer goods, and (c) raw and intermediate materials and supplies used in production.
44-45	The Retail Trade sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in selling merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise.
48-49	The Transportation and Warehousing sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in transporting people and goods. The Transportation and Warehousing sector includes industries providing transportation of passengers and cargo, warehousing and storage for goods, scenic and sightseeing transportation, and support activities related to modes of transportation. This sector distinguishes three basic types of activities: (a) subsectors for each mode of transportation, (b) a subsector of warehousing and storage, and (c) a subsector for establishments providing support activities for transportation. In addition, there are subsectors for establishments that provide passenger transportation for scenic and sightseeing purposes, postal services, and courier services.
51	The Information sector comprises establishments engaged in the following processes: (a) producing and distributing information and cultural products, (b) providing the means to transmit or distribute these products as well as data or communications, and (c) processing data.
52	The Finance and Insurance sector comprises two types of establishments: (a) those engaged in financial transactions, that is, transactions involving the creation, liquidation, or change in ownership of financial assets, or in facilitating financial transactions; and (b) those engaged in the intermediating as the consequence of pooling risks and facilitating such intermediation.
53	The Real Estate and Rental and Leasing sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in leasing real estate to others, as well as real estate managers, agents, and brokers. The Rental Leasing subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in acquiring, owning, and making available a wide variety of tangible goods such as machinery, equipment, computers and consumer goods to businesses or individuals, in return for periodic rental or lease payment.
54	The Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector comprises establishments engaged in processes where human capital is the major input. These establishments make available the knowledge and skills of their employees, often on an assignment basis, where an individual or team is responsible for the delivery of service to a client.
55	The Management of Companies and Enterprises sector comprises two main types of establishments: (a) those that hold the securities of (or other equity interest in) companies and enterprises; and (b) those (except government establishments) that administer, oversee, and manage other establishments of the company enterprise.
56	The Administrative and Support and Waste Management Remediation Services sector comprises establishments performing routine support activities for the day-to-day operations of other organizations. These essential activities are of the type often undertaken in-house by establishments in many sectors of the economy.
61	The Educational Services sector comprises establishments providing academic or technical instruction or educational support services such as student exchange programs and curriculum development. Public schools and universities are excluded.
62	The Health Care and Social Assistance sector comprises establishments that provide health care and social assistance to individuals.
71	The Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation sector comprises establishments that operate facilities or provide services to meet varied cultural, entertainment, and recreational interests of their patrons. This sector includes: (a) establishments that are involved in producing, promoting, or participating in live performances, events, or exhibits intended for public viewing; (b) establishments that preserve and exhibit objects and sites of historical, cultural, or educational interest; and (c) establishments that operate facilities or provide services that enable patrons to participate in recreational activities or pursue amusement, hobby or leisure time interests.
72	The Accommodation and Food Services sector comprises establishments providing customers with lodging and/or preparing meals, snacks, and beverages for immediate consumption.
81	The Other Services, Except Public Administration sector comprises establishments in one of the following subsectors: repair and maintenance; personal and laundry services; and religious, grant making, civic, and professional and other similar organizations.

In spring 2021, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) and the Economic Research Service (ERS), both within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), approached the Census Bureau with a request to consider options for collecting data on support activities for agriculture in the 2022 Economic Census. Although establishments classified in these industries are directly engaged in on-farm agricultural production activity, they are not farms and are excluded from the Census of Agriculture. These industries have not historically been in scope to the Economic Census. To fill this data gap, Census is working to assemble accurate statistics about their contribution to the U.S. economy as part of the 2022 Economic Census. The approach is to focus on frame coverage for 2022 and the collection of basic data items (primary business activity, receipts, employment, payroll).

The 2022 Economic Census will produce basic statistics by industry for the number of establishments, value of shipments/receipts/revenue/sales, payroll, and employment. It also will yield a variety of industry-specific statistics, including expenses, depreciable assets, selected purchased services, inventories, and capital expenditures, value of shipments/receipts/revenue/sales by product line as defined by the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS), type of operation, size of establishments, and other industry-specific measures. New content for the 2022 Economic Census includes questions related to business technologies, the export and import of services, and telemedicine.

Attachment D provides drafts of selected examples of standard, consolidated, and classification questionnaires. All 2022 Economic Census draft questionnaire electronic instrument paths can be accessed at: https://bhs.econ.census.gov/ombpdfs2022/.

2. Needs and Uses

The Economic Census is the primary source of information about the structure and functioning of the economies of the Nation and each island area. Economic census statistics serve as part of the framework for the national accounts and provides essential information for government, business, and the general public. The Federal Government, including the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and the governments of the island areas rely on the economic census as an important part of the framework for their income and product accounts, input-output tables, economic indices, and other composite measures that serve as the basis for economic policymaking, planning, and program administration. Further, the economic census provides sampling frames and benchmarks for current business surveys which track short-term economic trends, serve as economic indicators, and contribute critical source data for current estimates of gross domestic product. State and local governments rely on the economic census as a unique source of comprehensive economic statistics for small geographic areas for use in policy-making, planning, and program administration. The economic census also features the only recognized source of economic data for the island areas at a geographic level similar to U.S. counties. Finally, industry, business, academia, and the general public use information from the economic census for evaluating markets, preparing business plans, making business decisions, developing economic models and forecasts, conducting economic research, and establishing benchmarks for their own sample surveys.

Information quality is an integral part of the pre-dissemination review of the information disseminated by the Census Bureau (fully described in the Census Bureau’s Information Quality Guidelines). Information quality is also integral to the information collections conducted by the Census Bureau and is incorporated into the clearance process required by the Paperwork Reduction Act.

3. Use of Information Technology

Businesses will satisfy their reporting requirement for this information collection by accessing the Respondent Portal and reporting data electronically, using a web-based response driven electronic reporting tool.

Question 3 of Supporting Statement Part B describes the benefits of the portal and web-based reporting. For the 2017 Economic Census (Stateside portion), approximately 98% of responses were provided electronically. In 2022, all respondents are expected to report electronically. For the 2017 Economic Census of Island Areas, approximately 67% of responses were provided electronically. In 2022, respondents are encouraged to report electronically but Island Areas single unit respondents will be able to request a paper questionnaire and/or receive a follow up of a paper questionnaire. Paper questionnaires will be available in English or Spanish for Puerto Rico single units, and in English for all other Island Areas single units. See Supporting Statement Part B, Question 3, for descriptions of the research projects conducted to ensure the electronic instrument minimizes response burden to the extent possible.

4. Efforts to Identify Duplication

The Census Bureau found no information collections by federal agencies, trade groups, or businesses that duplicate the content, comprehensive coverage, industry detail, product detail, geographic detail, and statistical reliability provided by the economic census. These features are distinguishing characteristics of economic census data; they meet requirements of principal data users and make the Economic Census uniquely suited to the purposes it serves.

Discussions with the island government contacts and BEA confirmed that the data collected during the Economic Census of Island Areas is unique. The Census Bureau also produces the annual County Business Patterns (CBP) that provides payroll and employment for the Island Areas at similar NAICS and geography levels. Data for the CBP are sourced from the Company Organization Survey (for Puerto Rico) and administrative data received by the Census Bureau. Data available from the CBP are not comprehensive enough for the BEA to produce GDP estimates for the Island Areas.

5. Minimizing Burden

This information collection minimizes the burden on small businesses by excluding most of them from the data collection operations. Only establishments with paid employees will be included in the Economic Census data collection operations. The Economic Census will use data from federal administrative records in lieu of census reports for most small establishments with paid employees. Small establishments are defined as those whose annual payroll is below an industry-specific payroll cut-off. A probability sample of these establishments will be asked to report data to permit development of reliable estimates for data items that are not available from federal administrative records (e.g., value of shipments/receipts/revenue/sales by product line and other special inquiries). Part B of this supporting statement gives a more complete description of this data collection methodology.

Federal administrative records are frequently incomplete and may contain information needing further classification. To compensate for this, the Census Bureau engages with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Social Security Administration (SSA), and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to obtain industry classification codes for unclassified establishments.

6. Consequences of Less Frequent Collection

The Economic Census is conducted at 5‑year intervals, as required by Title 13, U.S.C., Sections 131 and 191. If this information collection were conducted less frequently, it would diminish the timeliness and usefulness of the statistics produced. This would cause a corresponding deterioration in the income and product accounts, input‑output tables, economic indices, business surveys, and other measures that rely on source data and benchmarks from the economic census. Failure to collect this benchmark data on a 5-year cycle would hinder local and federal governments in evaluating new programs, disbursing federal funds, analyzing market trends, and measuring economic performance within geographic areas. Similarly, less frequent collection would reduce the usefulness of the economic census as a source of comprehensive information for economic policymaking, planning, and program administration.

7. Special Circumstances

This information collection will be conducted in a manner consistent with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines and there are no special circumstances.

8. Consultations Outside the Agency

In preparation of the 2022 Economic Census, a concerted effort was made to identify, communicate with, and retrieve input from stakeholders on content changes. Consultations with key federal stakeholder, including the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Federal Reserve Board, and Center for Economic Studies at the Census Bureau, took place in 2020 and 2021. Census directly engaged with these stakeholders convening individual meetings with each to receive and discuss suggested content changes that would benefit their programmatic needs. Ongoing meetings were held while developing content for the 2022 Economic Census and final content decisions were conveyed to each stakeholder.

Additional outreach was conducted to ensure feedback was received from relevant trade and industry associations. On June 18, 2020, letters were emailed to 1,181 organizations referring them to the Census Bureau’s Business Help Site (https://bhs.econ.census.gov/ombpdfs), which houses copies of questionnaires for the 2017 Economic Census. These groups were asked to review the questionnaire(s) relevant to their data needs and interests and to provide recommendations on content, terms and definitions, instructions, and other aspects of questionnaire design for the 2022 Economic Census. A follow-up email was transmitted on July 15, 2020. An effort was made to resolve the 332 cases that bounced back from the initial mailing as undeliverable due to invalid email addresses. The undeliverable returned messages were updated with valid addresses that were then emailed on August 11, 2020. These consultations were provided individually and were not for the purpose of providing a group consensus opinion. Sixteen groups provided responses by e-mail.

Attachment G identifies the organizations that we contacted in this effort. Attachment H gives a representative selection of the correspondence we received from participants in these consultations.

On August 27, 2021, a general notice was published in the Federal Register (Vol. 86, No. 164, page 48119-48122) soliciting public comment on the 2022 Economic Census. One comment in total was submitted in response to the notice. The single comment only offered general opposition to the collection.

On March 2, 2022, a second notice was published in the Federal Register (Vol. 87, No. 41, page 11687-11688) inviting public comment. Attachment M includes the two comments that were received. The first comment asked about the inclusion of non-profit establishments in the data collection. Non-profit employer establishment are in scope and included in the Economic Census. The second comment proposed new and revised material codes for Manufacturing sector instruments to capture additional detail. While there is not adequate time to appropriately evaluate potential implications and address these proposed changes for the 2022 Economic Census, the information provided will be considered for future Economic Census collections.

Consultations with principal data users from each of the Island Areas were held throughout 2020 and 2021. Briefings were conducted with representatives from American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to discuss content changes, clarify terms, definitions, and instructions and to define data products. Below is the list of contacts for each of the Island Areas.

Not all recommendations could be incorporated in the 2022 Economic Census for multiple reasons including being out of scope to the Economic Census, requiring extensive additional research, consulting, or testing that did not meet our schedule, or entailed excessive cost or response burden. In some cases, firms we consulted said they could not report requested information, or there were conflicts with other requirements.

Attachment I provides information on the content changes to questionnaires for the 2022 Economic Census. The attachment includes new adds, drops/deletes, and changes to existing questions by path and item number.

9. Paying Respondents

The Census Bureau does not pay respondents and does not provide them with gifts in any form to report requested information in the economic census.

10. Assurance of Confidentiality

This information collection will give respondents the following assurance of confidentiality:

YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW. Title 13 United States Code, Sections 131 and 191 authorizes this collection. Section 224 requires your response. The U.S. Census Bureau is required by Section 9 of the same law to keep your information CONFIDENTIAL and can use your responses only to produce statistics. The Census Bureau is not permitted to publicly release your responses in a way that could identify your business, organization, or institution. Per the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from cybersecurity risks through screening of the systems that transmit your data.

Similar assurances will be included in the initial contact letter that directs respondents to report Online. (Attachment C).

11. Justification for Sensitive Questions

This information collection asks no questions of a sensitive nature.

12. Estimate of Respondent Burden

Attachment A provides an estimate of respondent burden hours for each of the electronic questionnaire instrument paths covered by this request. The number of respondents for each electronic questionnaire instrument path is an estimate derived from the number of establishments currently active on the Census Bureau’s Business Register and the number likely to be selected into the 2022 Economic Census sample. Burden estimates assume a 100 percent response rate.

Estimates for number of hours per response are based on experience with conducting past economic censuses and our reasonable estimates of the time needed to preview the questions being asked, the accompanying instruction sheets, and other data collection materials; to gather, organize, and summarize information; and to record answers using the online reporting system. Overall respondent burden for the 2022 Economic Census is estimated at 6,064,840 hours and respondent cost is estimated to be $227,250,666. This cost estimate was calculated by using mean annual wage data from the 2020 BLS Occupational Employment Statistics (OES). The average hourly wage is that of an accountant in the corresponding sector.

This burden estimate differs from that published in the 60-day Federal Register Notice due to updated and more detailed estimates of the likely number of respondents for each electronic questionnaire path as well as better estimates of the time required to complete the new electronic questionnaires.

Tables 2a and 2b provides an estimate of respondent burden for each of the respective portions covered by this request. The numbers of respondents are estimates based on in-scope establishments for the 2017 Economic Census and the most recent data available from the Census Bureau’s Business Register; they assume a 100 percent response rate.

13. Estimate of Cost Burden

We do not expect respondents to incur any costs other than that of their time to respond. The information requested is of the type and scope normally contained in company records and no special hardware or accounting software or system is necessary to provide answers to this information collection. Therefore, respondents are not expected to incur any capital and start-up costs or system maintenance costs in responding. Further, purchasing of outside accounting or information collection services, if performed by the respondent, is part of usual and customary business practice and not specifically required for this information collection.

14. Cost to the Federal Government

The cost to the government for this work is included in the total cost of the 2022 Economic Census, estimated to be $697 million with an estimated average annual cost of $139.4 million per year over the five-year cycle. This includes all direct and indirect costs associated with the collection, processing, analyses, preparation, and publication of statistics from the 2022 Economic Census and Related Programs.

15. Reason for Change in Burden

This collection is being submitted as a reinstatement, with change, of an expired collection.

16. Project Schedule

The Census Bureau will mail the request for this information collection on January 31, 2023, with a due date of March 15, 2023. Mail follow‑ups to nonrespondents will begin in March 2023. These efforts, supplemented by email and telephone follow-ups to selected nonrespondents, will continue through the fall of 2023. Questionnaires will be checked in and data entry performed for island area paper responses until the closeout for data collection operations in November 2023. Receipt of administrative records, automated edits, and initial efforts to resolve reporting problems will continue through September 2023. Census will then prepare tabulations and related analytical summaries, perform analyses, conduct further data review and apply corrections. The first release of data products from the 2022 Economic Census will begin with the First Look publication by March 2024 and conclude with the Miscellaneous Subject Series by March 2026.

Our data dissemination plans summarizing the results of this information collection provide for data to be released earlier than those from the 2017 Economic Census. To improve the timeliness, relevance, and usefulness of all data products, the Census Bureau will continue to release economic census data electronically and on the Internet. Products from this data collection include the following:

• First Look--This series will include preliminary data for all 19 NAICS sectors covered by the Economic Census for establishments with payroll. It will provide detailed statistics for the United States (2-3 digit NAICS) on number of establishments, value of shipments/receipts/revenue/sales, annual payroll, first quarter payroll, and employment for the pay period including March 12, 2022. For selected sectors, statistics will be published on manufacturing materials consumed, value of construction work by type and location, specialization in type of construction, value of business done, specialization in kind of business activity, and selected mining supplies, minerals received for preparations, purchased machinery, and fuels consumed.

• Geographic Area Statistics--This series will have releases for the United States, each state, the District of Columbia, each island area, and offshore areas. These releases will summarize data by kind of business for the United States and states, most sectors also include metropolitan areas, counties (or county equivalent) and places. Tabulations will present basic statistics for establishments with payroll, including number of establishments, revenue, annual payroll, first quarter payroll, and employment for the pay period including March 12, 2022.

• Subject Statistics--This series will present final tabulations for the United States and, in some cases, for states and territories. All summaries will present data only for establishments with payroll. Included will be an Establishment and Firm Size (Including Legal Form of Organization) release that will summarize basic information by value of shipments/receipts/revenue/sales size category and by employment size category for both establishments and firms, value of shipments/receipts/revenue/sales concentration for the largest firms in each industry, and industry composition by legal form of organization; a Product Lines release that will give detailed industry statistics on value of shipments/receipts/revenue/sales by product line and product line value of shipments/receipts/revenue/sales totals by detailed industry; and a Miscellaneous Subjects release that will present a variety of tabulations for industry-specific special inquiries.
