submitted 72 years ago by ch. 1158 to r/title-13-CENSUS · 79 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary must take, compile, and publish censuses of manufacturing, mining, and other businesses. This covers retail trade, services, and transportation, except transportation already tracked by a designated regulator. These censuses happen in 1964, 1968, and every fifth year after that, each covering the year before it.

The Secretary must take, compile, and publish censuses covering several kinds of business. These censuses cover manufacturing, mineral industries, and other businesses. That includes the distributive trades (like wholesale and retail), service establishments, and transportation. But transportation is only covered here if its statistics aren't already required by law to be filed with, and compiled and published by, some other designated regulatory body — that transportation is left out to avoid duplicating that body's work. The censuses were taken in 1964, then in 1968, and then every fifth year after that. Each census covers the year right before it was taken.
