ICT-L1 SECOND REQUEST
(1-2008)
FROM THE CHIEF,
COMPANY STATISTICS DIVISION
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
We have not received your response to the 2007 Information and Communication Technology Survey (ICTS) that was mailed to you in March. We recognize the burden involved in completing this survey, but the Census Bureau depends on your input to ensure the accuracy of our data. Also, we remind you that response to this survey is mandatory under Title 13 of the United States Code. If you recently submitted your response, we thank you and ask that you disregard this notice.
The ICTS data are a key source of information about our country’s economic performance. Data on business investment in information and communication technology that falls below a company’s capitalization threshold help economists to assess prospects for future productivity and economic growth. In addition, the data are an improved source of information for official estimates of the investment component of Gross Domestic Product, and U.S. capital stock and capital flows.
In case the original survey form did not reach you or was misplaced, we have enclosed a duplicate. We urge you to complete this survey promptly, as it is now past due. You can also complete the survey online by using Census Taker, our secure, interactive, user-friendly Internet program. To file electronically using Census Taker, go to www.census.gov/econhelp/icts.
If book figures are not available, we accept reasonable estimates. If you have questions, need help completing the survey, or need an extension of time for filing, please call 1-800-528-3049. If you believe this survey does not apply to your operations, or if you did not operate in 2007, please explain these facts in the “Remarks” section of the paper or electronic form and return the form to us by mail, fax (to 1-888-300-5192), or by using Census Taker.
Your prompt response will enable us to keep follow-up costs at a minimum. Thank you for your cooperation and your contribution to this survey.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey L. Mayer
