Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) FAQs

1. I did not receive a letter with my authentication code to complete the Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM).

The Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) was discontinued after the 2021 survey year and data collection ended in late 2022. The data formerly collected for the ASM will now be collected as part of the Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES). Your company may have been selected to participate in the AIES, which will replace the ASM in 2024 for survey year 2023. For more information regarding the AIES, please visit https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/aies.html. If you would like confirmation that your company has been selected to complete the AIES, please email emd.aies.help@census.gov.

2. Why did I receive an annual survey request in 2023?

Your company may have been selected to participate in the AIES, which will replace the ASM. Prior to full implementation, the U.S. Census Bureau will be collecting the AIES in 2023. This includes a smaller test in spring 2023 and a larger-scale data collection dress rehearsal in the summer of 2023. For more information regarding the AIES, please visit https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/aies.html. If you would like confirmation that your company has been selected to complete the AIES, please email emd.aies.help@census.gov.
