DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Census Bureau
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Construction Progress Reporting Surveys
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on August 27, 2021 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Commerce.
Title: Construction Progress Reporting Surveys.
OMB Control Number: 0607-0153.
Form Number(s): C-700, C-700(R), C-700(SL), C-700(F).
Type of Request: Regular submission, Request for an Extension,
without change of a currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 22,000.
Average Hours per Response: Respondents will each complete 12
monthly reports on average. We estimate it will take 30 minutes to
complete the survey the first month and 10 minutes each remaining month
that the project is under construction.
Burden Hours: 51,333.
Needs and Uses: The Construction Progress Reporting Surveys (CPRS)
collect information on the dollar value of construction put in place on
non-residential building projects under construction by private
companies or individuals, private multifamily residential buildings,
and building projects under construction by federal and state and local
governments.
Form C-700 is used to collect data on the construction of
privately-owned nonresidential buildings and structures. Form C-700(R)
is used to collect data on privately-owned residential building
projects with two or more housing units. Form C-700(SL) is used to
collect data on state and local government construction projects. Form
C-700(F) is used to collect data on federal government construction
projects.
The Census Bureau uses the information collected on these forms to
publish estimates of the monthly dollar value of construction put in
place. Statistics from the CPRS become part of the monthly ``Value of
Construction Put in Place'' or ``Construction Spending'' series, a
Principal Economic Indicator. Published estimates are used by a variety
of private business and trade associations to estimate the demand for
building materials and to schedule production, distribution, and sales
efforts. They also provide various government agencies with a tool to
evaluate economic policy. For example, Bureau of Economic Analysis
staff use data to develop the construction components of gross private
domestic investment in the gross domestic product. The Federal Reserve
Board and the Department of the Treasury use the value put in place
data to predict the gross domestic product, which is presented to the
Board of Governors and has an impact on monetary policy.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; Not-
for-profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal government; Federal
government.
Frequency: Monthly.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Sections 131 and
182.
