DEFINITION OF ESTABLISHMENT AND

An establishment is generally a single physical location
where business is conducted or where services or
industrial operations are performed. Further clarification
is provided in the General Instructions.
Manufacturing activity involves the mechanical, physical,
or chemical transformation of materials, substances,
or components into new products. The assembling of
component parts of manufactured products is considered
manufacturing, except in cases where the activity is
appropriately classified in Sector 23, Construction.

Who Should Report

Since data will be published for industries and States,
separate reports are required for each manufacturing
establishment (plant).
An establishment is a single physical location where
manufacturing is performed. If your company operates at
different physical locations, even if they are producing the
same line of goods, a separate report must be filed for
each location.
If your company operates in two or more distinct lines of
manufacturing at the same location, file a separate report
for each activity.

processing, and assembling) conducted within the

WHAT PERIOD SHOULD EACH REPORT COVER?
Each report should cover the calendar year 2007.

carefully prepared estimates are acceptable.
If an establishment began to operate or ceased to
operate during 2007, report only the part of the year
that the establishment was in operation.
If the operator changed during the year, report only
for that part of the year that your company operated
the establishment. Report in 3 the appropriate
information on changes in operator or operational
status.
