Sec. 801.8  Miscellaneous.

    (a) Required information not available. All reasonable efforts 
should be made to obtain information required for reporting. Every 
applicable question on each form or schedule should be answered. When 
only partial information is available, an appropriate indication should 
be given.
    (b) Estimates. If actual figures are not available, estimates should 
be supplied and labeled as such. When a data item cannot be fully 
subdivided as required, a total and an estimated breakdown of the total 
should be supplied.
    (c) Specify. When ``specify'' is included in certain data items, the 
type and dollar amount of the major items included must be given for at 
least the items mentioned in the line or column instruction.
    (d) Space on form insufficient. When space on a form is insufficient 
to permit a full answer to any item, the required information should be 
submitted on supplementary sheets, appropriately labeled and referenced 
to the item of column number and the form.
    (e) Extensions. Requests for an extension of a reporting deadline 
will not normally be granted. However, in a hardship case, a written 
request for an extension will be considered provided it is received at 
least 15 days prior to the due date of the report and enumerates 
substantive reasons necessitating the extension.
    (f) Number of copies. A single original copy of each form or 
schedule shall be filed with the Bureau of Economic Analysis. This 
should be the copy with the address label if such a labeled copy has 
been provided. In addition, each respondent must retain a copy of its 
report to facilitate resolution of problems. Both copies are protected 
by law; see Sec. 801.5.
    (g) Other. Instructions concerning filing dates, where to send 
reports, and whom to contact concerning a given report are contained on 
each form.
