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.
