The U.S. Census Bureau requests an emergency 180-day approval of an emergency Information Collection Request (ICR) to add questions to the following surveys designated as Primary Economic Indicators: Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories & Orders (M3) Survey Building Permits Survey Monthly Wholesale Trade Survey Monthly Retail Surveys Quarterly Services Survey The added questions are designed to allow us to measure the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic upon businesses.
This information must be collected prior to the expiration of time periods established under Part 1320, and that this information is essential to the U.S. Census Bureau’s emergency response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We plan to immediately add questions to measure the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic upon businesses to the following surveys designated as Primary Economic Indicators: Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories & Orders (M3) Survey Building Permits Survey Monthly Wholesale Trade Survey Monthly Retail Surveys Quarterly Services Survey As Primary Economic Indicators, each of these surveys produce timely and closely-watched statistics about the health of the U.S economy. Given the importance of these indicator surveys and of the statistics they produce, it is imperative we measure to what extent businesses have been impacted in terms of their ability to maintain operations during this turbulent period. The Census Bureau cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance given the urgent necessity to collect these data. Therefore, the Census Bureau requests a 180-day emergency clearance to launch collection of data.
