This request is a minor change to a currently approved collection to restore certain state level data items. BEA revised the survey forms to include the following state-level data items – gross book value of property, plant and equipment; commercial property; and manufacturing employment. These data items were previously collected but were eliminated from the survey in 2008. The revision will increase the respondent burden hours by about 5 percent. Only large and medium sized respondents, U.S. affiliates with total assets, sales or gross operating revenues, or net income greater than $120 million, would be affected by the revision.
