SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The survey obtains the distribution of 

expenditures incurred by recipients of 

biomedical research awards from the 

National Institutes of Health Research 

(NIH) and will provide information on 

how the NIH award amounts are 

expended across several major 

categories. This information, along with 

wage and price data from other 

published sources, will be used to 

generate the Biomedical Research and 

Developmental Price Index (BRDPI). 

BEA develops this index for NIH under 

a reimbursable contract. The BRDPI is 

an index of prices paid for the labor, 

supplies, equipment, and other inputs 

required to perform the biomedical 

research the NIH supports in its 

intramural laboratories and through its 

awards to extramural organizations. The 

BRDPI is a vital tool for planning the 

NIH research budget and analyzing 

future NIH programs. A survey of award 

recipient entities is currently the only 

means for updating the expenditure 

categories that are used to prepare the 

BRDPI. 

II. Authority 

This survey will be voluntary. The 

authority for NIH to collect information 

for the BRDPI is provided in 45 CFR 

subpart C, Post-Award Requirements, 

section 74.21. This sets forth explicit 

standards for grantees in establishing 

and maintaining financial management 

systems and records, and section 74.53 

which provides for the retention of such 

records as well as NIH access to such 

records. 

BEA will administer the survey and 

analyze the survey results on behalf of 

NIH, through an interagency agreement 

between the two agencies. The authority 

for the NIH to contract with DOC to 

make this collection is the Economy Act 

(31 U.S.C. 1535 and 1536). 

The ‘‘Special Studies’’ authority, 15 

U.S.C. 1525 (first paragraph), permits 

DOC to provide, upon the request of any 

person, firm or public or private 

organization (a) Special studies on 

matters within the authority of the 

Department of Commerce, including 

preparing from its records special 

compilations, lists, bulletins, or reports, 

and (b) furnishing transcripts or copies 

of its studies, compilations and other 

records. BEA has programmatic 

authority to perform this work pursuant 

to 15 U.S.C. 1527a. NIH’s support for 

this research is consistent with the 

Agency’s duties and authority under 42 

U.S.C. 282. 

The information provided by the 

respondents will be held confidential 

and be used for exclusively statistical 

purposes. This pledge of confidentiality 

is made under the Confidential 

Information Protection provisions of 

title V, subtitle A, Public Law 107–347. 

Title V is the Confidential Information 

Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act 

of 2002 (CIPSEA). Section 512 (on 

Limitations on Use and Disclosure of 

Data and Information) of the Act, 

provides that ‘‘data or information 

acquired by an agency under a pledge of 

confidentiality and for exclusively 

statistical purposes shall be used by 

officers, employees, or agents of the 

agency exclusively for statistical 

purposes. Data or information acquired 

by an agency under a pledge of 

confidentiality for exclusively statistical 

purposes shall not be disclosed by an 

agency in identifiable form, for any use 

other than an exclusively statistical 

purpose, except with the informed 

consent of the respondent.’’ 

Responses will be kept confidential 

and will not be disclosed in identifiable 

form to anyone other than employees or 

agents of BEA without prior written 

permission of the person filing the 

report. By law, each employee as well 

as each agent is subject to a jail term of 

up to 5 years, a fine of up to $250,000, 

or both for disclosing to the public any 

identifiable information that is reported 

about a business or institution. 

Section 515 of the Information 

Quality Guidelines applies to this 

survey. The collection and use of this 

information complies with all 

applicable information quality 

guidelines, i.e., those of the Office of 

Management and Budget, Department of 

Commerce, and BEA.

III. Method of Collection 

A survey with a cover letter that 

includes a brief description of, and 

rationale for, the survey will be sent by 

e-mail to potential respondents by the 

first week of June of each year. A report

NIH award amounts, following the 

proposed format for expenditure 

categories included with the survey 

form, will be requested to be completed 

and submitted online no later than 120 

days after mailing. Survey respondents 

will be selected on the basis of award 

levels, which determine the weight of 

the respondent in the biomedical 

research and development price index. 

Potential respondents will include (1) 

The top 100 organizations in total 

awards, which account for about 59 

percent of total awards; (2) 40 additional 

organizations that are not primarily in 

the ‘‘Research and Development (R&D) 

contracts’’ category; and (3) 10 

additional organizations that are 

primarily in the ‘‘R&D contracts’’ 

category.

Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils 

From Mexico: Rescission of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: In response to a request from 

an interested party, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) initiated 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order covering 

stainless steel sheet and strip in coils 

from Mexico. The period of review is 

July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. 

Based on the withdrawal of request for 

review submitted by Allegheny Ludlum 

Corporation, North American Stainless, 

and AK Steel Corporation (collectively 

‘‘petitioners’’), we are now rescinding 

this administrative review. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 4, 2011.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 1, 2010, the Department 

published a notice announcing an 

opportunity for interested parties to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel sheet and strip in coils from 

Mexico. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

To Request Administrative Review, 75 

FR 38074 (July 1, 2010). On July 30, 

2010, petitioners filed a request that the 

Department initiate an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils 

from Mexico with respect to 

ThyssenKrupp Mexinox, S.A. de C.V. 

(‘‘Mexinox’’). Based on petitioners’ 

request, on August 31, 2010, the 

Department published a notice of 

initiation of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel sheet and strip in coils from 

Mexico. See Initiation of Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Deferral of Initiation of 

Administrative Review, 75 FR 53274 

(August 31, 2010). 

Rescission of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), the Department will 

rescind an administrative review, ‘‘in 

whole or in part, if a party that 

requested a review withdraws the 

request within 90 days of the date of 

publication of notice of initiation of the 

requested review. The Secretary may 

extend this time limit if the Secretary 

decides that it is reasonable to do so.’’ 

On March 21, 2011, petitioners 

withdrew their request for a review of 

the order with respect to Mexinox. 

Although the party submitted a letter 

withdrawing their review request after 

the 90-day regulatory deadline, the 

Department finds it is reasonable to 

extend the deadline for withdrawing the 

review request because it has not yet 

devoted significant time or resources to 

the review. 

Because of the withdrawal of the 

request for review and because we 

received no other requests for review, 

we are rescinding the administrative 

review of the order with respect to 

Mexinox. This rescission is in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. For Mexinox, the 

antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of this notice. 

Notifications 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Department’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent
