What is the Annual Integrated Economic Survey?
The Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES) is a newly redesigned survey that combines multiple
mandatory annual surveys into one comprehensive data collection. The new format simplifies reporting
by consolidating all necessary questions into one convenient platform, requiring you to answer only
industry-specific content that directly relate to your company's activities.
With key data items standardized across all sectors, the AIES will offer a holistic annual picture of the
U.S. economy. Your valuable data serve as a critical input in calculating the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP), empowering policymakers and businesses, including your own, to make well-informed and
precise decisions.
How do I know this is a legitimate government survey?
This survey has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The eight-digit OMB
approval number is 0607-1024 and appears in the lower left corner of each reporting screen. Without
this approval, we could not conduct this survey. We are conducting this survey under the authority of
Title 13, United States Code, Sections 131 and 182.
How long will it take to complete the survey?
We estimate the Annual Integrated Economic Survey will take an average of 2.57 hours to complete.
Factors such as company size, complexity, and activity will affect your actual time to complete the
survey. This estimate includes the time to review instructions, search existing data sources, gather and
maintain the data needed, and complete and review the survey.
Will my response be confidential?
Yes. The U.S. Census Bureau is required by law to keep your response confidential (Title 13, U.S. Code,
Section 9). 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
data.
Am I required to fill out the survey?
Yes. Your business is required by law (Title 13, U.S. Code, Sections 224 and 225) to respond to this
survey.
How will the Census Bureau use the information I provide?
By law, the Census Bureau can only use your business data to produce statistics.
