The Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) is used in conjunction with the Unemployment Insurance tax reporting system in each State. The primary purpose of the ARS is to verify or to correct the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to establishments as well as to obtain accurate mailing and physical location addresses of establishments. As a result, changes in the industrial and geographical compositions of the economy are captured in a timely manner and reflected in the BLS statistical programs. Federal, State, and local government officials as well as private researchers depend on accurate geographical and industrial coding based on the 2012 North American Industry Classification System Manual.

The decrease in total hours requested, from 153,642 to 100,296, is due to the curtailment in the QCEW program decided upon by the DOL and OMB. This curtailment, described previously, was accomplished in part by reducing the scope and frequency of the ARS. The reduction strategy was devised to have minimal impact on data quality, to maintain the ability to identify industry developments, and to preserve budget flexibility.
