Economic Census Forms Are Due February 12th
The U.S. Census Bureau today reminded millions of
U.S. businesses that time is running out for returning 2007 Economic Census forms. Businesses that received forms are required by law to respond. The forms are due by February 12.
Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez calls answering the Economic Census "an act of good corporate citizenship." The Fed's Ben Bernanke calls the census "indispensable" and adds "returning your economic census form helps us all."
Meeting the February 12 deadline saves the government time and money. But businesses running out of time can get help with their form, or even request a 30-day extension, at the Census Bureau's business help site at
www.census.gov/econhelp or call 1-800-233-6136.
