Purpose: The principal purpose of the CPR-1972 is to provide the Commission with data on industrial concentration, integration, and diversification among the 1,000 leading manufacturing companies. The data will be useful in enforcement activities, economic studies, and policy planning. Included are companies not primarily engaged in manufacturing but which have sufficiently large manufacturing activities to have ranked among the 1,000 largest manufacturers of 1972. Also included are companies which ranked among the 1,000 leading manufacturers of 1950 but which were not ranked in the 1,000 largest in 1972. Input: This is a special report submitted by approximately 1,000 leading manufacturers of 1972. There have been delays in acquiring these reports since approximately 250 companies have appealed to the U.S. Circuit Court challenging the FTC's authority to collect this data. The court asked for an extension of the filing to April 28, 1978. If the reports were filed by that time, it is possible that the Commission will publish the data early in 1979. Content: Data available include the following: company name and number; acquired company name and acquisition number; net sales and total assets for 1967 and 1972; value of shipments by domestic manufacturing establishments by 5-digit product class code for 1972; number of 5-digit activities in manufacturing; total non-manufacturing esablishment sales; non-manufacturing sales by 2-digit SIC code for 1972 for activities with sales of $10 million or more; number of non-manufacturing activities; number of majority-owned subsidiaries; number of acquired companies; number of dispositions of companies with total assets of $10 million or more; number of minority interests; number of joint ventures. Also available for minority interests of the CPR companies are the following: name of the company in which the CPR company held a minority interest; the percentage of ownership; the value of the investment; net sales and total assets for the year 1972; and SIC classification for principal business activity. Available for joint ventures in which CPR companies participated are the data items listed above for the minority interests of CPR companies. In addition, data as to joint ventures include the following: number of owners of the joint venture; the name of the owning or controlling company, if any; and purchases and sales between the joint venture and any of its participating companies. Output: The output is a report (one-time, hardcopy). Agency Contact: (202) 632-5100. S03500-009 Line of Business Program (LB). OMB Funding Title/Code: Salaries and Expenses / 29-0100-0-1-376.
