If you're an American business owner, then you should have already received forms for the 2012 Economic Census.
The Economic Census is the U.S. government's five-year measurement of American business and the economy conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Nearly 4 million large, medium and small companies that represent all U.S. locations and industries should have received the forms. Respondents are asked to provide operational and performance data for their companies. Response is required by law no later than Feb. 12.
