NEW ADDS






















AG-11500 Select Items N/A N/A PATH ADDITION New path AG-11500 (Support Activities for Crop and Animal Production) is being added to cover NAICS 1151 and 1152 - NAPCS will not be included as part of path, but there will be a new SI to collect write-in data on products or services provided in order to develop NAPCS lines for possible collection in 2027 UTASB Collect basic items on new AG-11500 path - No NAPCS (but proposed possible SI to collect NAPCS Write-Ins for top products/services provided)




















AG-11500 TBD
(possible Item 28)		 N/A N/A Trade Specific Special Item Proposed SI to be added to the new AG-11500 path to collect 'top three agricultural products or services provided' UTASB Proposed Special Item to be added to new AG-11500 path




















FI-5223A FI-5223A NA NA PATH ADDITION ARU path for Credit Unions (Consolidated) Sector 52 - NAICS 52213010 and NAICS 52213090 Credit Unions typically combine report much like the commercial banking industry. Creating an ARU path for this industry would eliminate the manual corrections by analysts and reduce the burden on respondents.




















FI-5231A FI-5231A NA NA PATH ADDITION ARU path for Investment Banking and Securities Dealing and/or Brokerage (Consolidated) Sector 52 - NAICS 52311000 Respondents in this naics cannot break out for location and consolidate report anyway. The addition of this path would reduce respondent burden.




















FI-5232A FI-5232A NA NA PATH ADDITION ARU path for Investment Banking and Securities Dealing and/or Brokerage (Consolidated) Sector 52 - NAICS 52312000 Respondents in this naics cannot break out for location and consolidate report anyway. The addition of this path would reduce respondent burden.




















FI-5233A FI-5233A NA NA PATH ADDITION ARU path for Commodity Contracts Dealing and/or Brokerage (Consolidated) Sector 52 - NAICS 52313000 Respondents in this naics cannot break out for location and consolidate report anyway. The addition of this path would reduce respondent burden.




















FI-5234A FI-5234A NA NA PATH ADDITION ARU path for Commodity Contracts Dealing and/or Brokerage (Consolidated) Sector 52 - NAICS 52314000 Respondents in this naics cannot break out for location and consolidate report anyway. The addition of this path would reduce respondent burden.




















FI-5238A FI-5238A NA NA PATH ADDITION ARU path for Investment Advice (Consolidated) Sector 52 - NAICS 52393000 Revenue is accounted for at a company level. These largest companies report terrible at the establishment. Since they operate much like a bank they should have an ARU to reduce respondent burden.




















FI-5239A FI-5239A NA NA PATH ADDITION ARU path for Portfolio Management (Consolidated) Sector 52 - NAICS 52392000 Revenue is accounted for at a company level. These largest companies report terrible at the establishment. Since they operate much like a bank they should have an ARU to reduce respondent burden.




















FI-5239C FI-5239C NA NA PATH ADDITION Classification path for Financial Activities (Classification) Sector 52 excluding 524 There was no classification card for these because they were on 99023 and 99026 in previous Census.




















All 18 N/A N/A 18 "We suggest adding a few lines at the end of this schedule, asking respondents to break out their direct imports and purchases from domestic entities for the top three categories (by value) in the schedule and to further break out their purchases by the source of production: domestically produced, foreign produced, or unknown source of production." MFG per "Updated BEA Initial Comments", this additional information would support a project to develop input-output tables.

Given the poor quality of Item 18 reporting, I would not recommend additional specificity in material collection. Potentially could break this out as an SI? E.g. "what percentages of the value of materials reported in Item 16A1 were domestically produced, foreign produced/imported, or unknown source of production"? Would need tested to see if this is even something facilities could report - do they know where inputs originate from? Are they acquiring directly or from wholesalers? Not optimistic (James Day)




















all 4? N/A N/A 4 Days and hours in operation MFG From FRB Data Gaps.xls file
Presumably Item 4 would be best spot for this. Sounds more like a special tab to send to FRB on a micro level




















ALL MFG 28 N/A N/A 28 Creating new NAPCS Detail Lines

OR

Asking the % of shipments from remanufactured and rebuilt goods for targeted manufacturing industries		 MFG See "USBC-2020-0004-0012-Remanufacturing_G4_ECPC" document for full proposal. Stakeholder requested NAICS sector for this (denied). Recommendation :

"Additional NAPCS collection products could be considered for the 2022 Economic Census based on the ability to collect and publish the data, focusing on selected manufacturing groupings specifically highlighted in the proposal. In some cases, the related products by use in the collection structure would be too numerous to split into separate products for rebuilt and remanufactured goods. For the following broad lines, assuming no other changes are needed due to low reporting coverage (to be determined after publication in November 2020), consider adding detail lines for new vs. rebuilt/remanufactured."

As a final alternative, for a comprehensive sector-wide measure of output for remanufactured and rebuilt products, a special inquiry could be considered for targeted manufacturing industries in the economic census for the percent of shipments from remanufactured and rebuilt goods.




















ALL MFG 7A All 7A 7A To the payroll and employment complex for mfg/ASM, the one new item planning to move forward will be the EMPQ1. MFG One aspect of our 2020 ASM updated payroll and employment complex that is planning to continue into the econ census is the collection of EMPQ1 (as opposed to EMPSMAO). Beginning with 2020 and moving forward for manufacturing, we will be collecting this variable as essentially our 'total employment' item. We'll still collect the individual details of 'other employees' EMPQ1OM and the first quarter of production workers (EMPQ1PW). In addition to EMPSMAO, we have removed the sum of production workers and the average production workers, EMPSMPW and EMPAVPW respectively. Keep format from ASM into the EC 2022
8/4 update - Production Worker EMP for Q2-Q4 will also be removed as of EC22 - this is not needed for edit/processing purposes. Q1 will be collected for both production workers and other workers, total is EMPQ1




















ALL MFG 28 NA NA Trade Specific Special Item Add the industrial robots and robotic equipment item 28 to the Economic Census. The text will match exactly what is on the 2020 ASM MFG Per the ASM Item 28A "What were the capital expenditures for new and used
industrial robotic equipment, including software,
installation, and other one-time costs?" item 28B "What was the number of industrial robots IN OPERATION
at this plant? Refer to instructions above for definitions.
If you are unable to provide the number of industrial robots
IN OPERATION, please explain:" and item 28C "What was the number of industrial robots PURCHASED for
this plant? Refer to instructions above for definitions.
If you are unable to provide the number of industrial robots
PURCHASED, please explain:" will all be included in the Economic Census.




















ALL MFG 13A, 13C, 13D ALL MFG 13A, 13C, 13D 13A, 13C, 13D Split Beginning and Ending Assets and Retirements into Buildings vs. Machinery and Equipment. (ASTBGN, ASTEND, ASRET) MFG This was a 2017 CES request that they had thought approved, but we couldn't verify as being so. Marlo has approved this request for approval PENDING cognitive testing. This is a return to how assets were broken out in 1992 and prior. Assets Retired breakout is a knock-on effect that is required because it is needed to derive Ending Assets. We have Kirk White's 2017 proposal, used as guidance when drafting the mock-up for cognitive testing.

ALL MFG 5B ALL MFG 5B 5B Item 5B - What was the value of products shipped for export? RCPEXPT MFG Use in collaboration with ITA was defunded in 2015 - no longer collected. This was removed as of the 2018 ASM. NOTE: BEA comments that they'd like Item 5B to be modified to ask separately about exports of goods vs. exports of services, which of course necessitates it being collected. See "Updated BEA Initial Comments"
"We request replacing all instances of the 20D export question with the Item 5B export question, and we request that Item 5B be modified to ask separately about exports of goods vs. exports of services. "
This item was deleted as of 2018 ASM. This would continue for MFG into 2022 Census.
FRB feedback - "Helpful for purposes of research on manufacturing and trade developments."
CES feedback "Any application (e.g. geography or industry of exporters) that requires establishment-level exports would benefit from this data collection. The administrative merchandise export data (LFTTD) can only be allocated at the firm-level. This data item greatly aids efforts to allocate firm-level exports in LFTTD to the firms' establishments.(https://www.aaronflaaen.com/uploads/3/1/2/4/31243277/regional_implications_trade.pdf).

Furthermore, Exports from Manufacturing Establishments data product uses establishment-level export data from the Annual Survey of Manufactures (https://www.census.gov/manufacturing/exports/how_the_data_are_collected/index.html)."
BEA feedback - " BEA’s International Directorate would like to retain and modify question 5B in order to develop statistics on exports of services by state. Some manufacturers do produce and sell services, and the Economic Census provides an opportunity to gauge the extent of exports of services by U.S. manufacturers and to produce statistics on exports of services by state that include services produced by manufacturers. The current question 5B asks that the amount of exports shipped be reported; this wording suggests good exports. The International Directorate proposes that this question be modified to be two questions:

What was the value of goods shipped for export?
What was the revenue from services sold to foreign persons?"

See Path x TO x SI list or Item Catalog 17B See Path x TO x SI list or Item Catalog 17B 17B Type of Operation -(this row is placeholder for further work by subject matter staff) MFG We have Item 17A, Primary Business or Activity, that asks respondents for primary NAICS. Given that, which Type of Operation questions in ADDITION to this are necessary for classification purposes and used by staff when making classification decisions? We want to eliminate those that are duplicative of Item 17A/PBA/SDKB, and also eliminate those that staff do not use when making classification decisions. Many were added in 2017 as a result of NAPCS eliminating the industry distinction from products, BUT that distinction should be able to be collected by use of Item 17A.

Members (also known as user-owners) can be individuals or organizations, and benefit from the use of services, products, and/or earnings generated by the co-op. This includes purchasing co-ops, member/patron organizations, member-controlled non-profits, consumer co-ops, marketing co-ops, worker co-ops, etc.

ALL MFG 27 ALL MFG 27 27 Item 27 - Manufacturing Activities - series of questions related to Factoryless Goods Producers MFG, WH, Services Was tabled for "further discussion" on justification/uses. Per email thread with Fay Dorsett/Diane W "ECPC briefly discussed this topic during deliberations for 2022 NAICS, and there are no plans to carry out further classification-related research on FGPs. Subject-matter and classification staff did not use the responses for classification during the 2017 Economic Census. Diane's area released a post-collection study on respondent interpretation of the questions, but there are no tabulations of responses and no analyses beyond that. Generally, the research appears to confirm that the questions are more suited to the enterprise rather than the establishment, but there is high variability in interpretation of the questions used in the 2017 EC."

16 Value Item 16 - Selected Expenses - Must Keep on EC but Reduce AECSB, IBSB, UTASB, Manufacturing, Construction, Wholesale, Island Areas BEA, BLS, and CMS use data. There may be items that are eliminated from the EC, but some may need to be asked on the annual (if not already).























20 Value Item 20 - Class of Customer - Must keep on EC but reduce AECSB, FRESB, HESB, IBSB, UTASB, Retail, Wholesale, Island Areas BEA and BLS use data. Need to clarify what is meant by not-for profit organizations. Previous Census work went into trying to make this question uniform already. Some slight modifications could be made.























20 Instruction Wording Item 20 - Class of Customer - AECSB, HESB? After reviewing some of this class of customer data within NAICS 8112%, there are a lot of companies that provide repair and support services for hospitals that will either report this in 'Not-for-profit organizations' or 'Business Firms and farms'. It's difficult from a review standpoint to know which one is correct. Could the content team discuss potentially adding something to the instructions that make this clearer? I think whoever is the content rep for HESB could assist in this discussion.

Add a screener question and added a few additional options to select from within the 3 questions. :

Did this establishment measure its clinical performance in 2022?

Measures of clinical performance are quantifiable metrics used to evaluate the success of any clinical activity or clinical function.

Examples of clinical performance measures include:
•Patient wait times
•Counts for mishandling of patient specimens
•Emergency response times
•Rates of medication or treatment errors

•Yes (continue)
•No (skip to Qxx)


We added some of the select boxes based off of cognitive testing results: Blue are new.

Who sees this establishment’s measures of clinical performance? (Remove description since we now have in screener questions)
(Select all that apply.)

•Managers
•Employees (non-managers)
•Owners
•Patients and their responsible parties
•Government regulators or agencies
•On public display

Who chooses which measures of clinical performance to collect?
(Select all that apply.)

•Managers at this establishment
•Managers at other establishments and/or headquarters
•Owners
•Board of Directors
•Insurance providers
•Government regulators or agencies
How frequently did senior managers at this establishment review the measures of clinical performance in 2022?
(Select all that apply.)

•Yearly
•Quarterly
•Monthly
•Weekly
•Daily or more often
•Never
Our analysts fielded more phone calls from respondents who were confused about how to report for this non-published content, then any other question on the form. Many respondents felt it did not apply or felt they simply “guessed” on how to reply. Call center clerks could not help the respondents.

HESB proposed a modification and CES agreed to a screener question.
Currently This is in Round 2 of Cognitive Testing




















MN-5511X 8 MN-5511X 8 Item 8 - Support Services Asking the respondent to select the industry they support from a list of sectors and industries rather than using a write in 55 This is not being revised after going through cognitive testing. We are working to use BEACON to code write-ins to this question to their correct PBA on the back end. No changes to QDM will be required. The hope is to add something similar to the BEACON search in Item 4 to this Item in EC27.




















62113, 62200 28 62113, 62140 17B Stakeholder Data Gap
SI		 DELTED NOW PER 11/29/21

Revise the existing retail health clinic question.

EC22 Revision:
Did this establishment lease space from a retailer to operate a retail health clinic and/or partner with a retailer or other business in the operation of a retail health clinic?
A retail health clinic is an in‐store clinic with a health care professional who provides medical care (e.g., health screenings, treatment of minor injuries and illnesses, or management of chronic medical conditions).
Exclude:
- Pharmacies that do not have a separate physical space for a retail health clinic.
- Urgent care centers
- Outpatient care centers
- Worksite clinics for employees


The original question in EC17 is as follows:
Was this establishment involved in the operation of a retail health clinic in 2017?
__Yes
__No		 62 During the meeting with CES on 3/24/21, HESB and CES agreed on revising the existing question and include an explanation below the question for clarification.



Although response was low for Retail Health Clinics, CES is still very much interested in this question.

11/29/21 UPDATE: Following 2nd round of cognitive testing, recommendation made and agreed upon to drop Retail Health questions from EC due to confusion by respondents, poor response form 2017 EC, and burden added that may only be applicable to a small universe of companies.
