Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 69 / Monday, April 11, 2011 / Notices 19975 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: International Trade 

Administration (ITA). 

Title: Information for SelfCertification under FAQ 6 of the United 

States—European Union Safe Harbor 

Privacy Framework. 

OMB Control Number: 0625–0239. 

Form Number(s): ITA–4149. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Burden Hours: 350. 

Number of Respondents: 500. 

Average Hours per Response: 20–40 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: In response to the 

European-Union Directive on Data 

Protection that restricts transfers of 

personal information from Europe to 

countries whose privacy practices are 

not deemed ‘‘adequate,’’ the U.S. 

Department of Commerce has developed 

a ‘‘Safe Harbor’’ framework that will 

allow U.S. organizations to satisfy the 

European Directive’s requirements and 

ensure that personal data flows to the 

United States are not interrupted. The 

Safe Harbor framework bridges the 

differences between the European 

Union (EU) and U.S. approaches to 

privacy protection. The complete set of 

Safe Harbor documents and additional 

guidance materials may be found at 

http://export.gov/safeharbor. As of 

December 10, 2010, 2,415 U.S. 

organizations have been placed on the 

Safe Harbor List. Organizations that 

have signed up to this list are deemed 

‘‘adequate’’ under the Directive and do 

not have to provide further 

documentation to European officials. 

This list will be used by EU 

organizations to determine whether 

further information and contracts will 

be needed for a U.S. organization to 

receive personally identifiable 

information. This list is necessary to 

make the Safe Harbor accord 

operational, and was a key demand of 

the Europeans in agreeing that the 

Principles were providing ‘‘adequate’’ 

privacy protection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request a 

three-year extension of a currently 

approved collection of the Form C–411, 

Survey of Building and Zoning Permit 

Systems. The Census Bureau produces 

statistics used to monitor activity in the 

large and dynamic construction 

industry. These statistics help state and 

local governments and the Federal 

Government, as well as private industry, 

to analyze this important sector of the 

economy. The accuracy of the Census 

Bureau statistics regarding the amount 

of construction authorized depends on 

data supplied by building and zoning 

officials throughout the country. 

The Census Bureau uses the Survey of 

Building and Zoning Permit Systems to 

obtain information from state and local 

building permit officials needed for 

updating the universe of permit-issuing 

places. The questions pertain to the 

legal requirements for issuing building 

or zoning permits in the local 

jurisdictions. Information is obtained on 

such items as geographic coverage and 

types of construction for which permits 

are issued. 

The universe of permit-issuing places 

is the sampling frame for the Building 

Permits Survey (BPS) and the Survey of 

Construction (SOC). These two sample 

surveys provide widely used measures 

of construction activity, including the 

economic indicators Housing Units 

Authorized by Building Permits and 

Housing Starts. 

II. Method of Collection 

The form is sent to a jurisdiction 

when the Census Bureau has reason to 

believe that a new permit system has 

been established or an existing one has 

changed, based on information from a 

variety of sources including survey 

respondents, regional councils and the 

Census Bureau’s Geography Division 

which keeps abreast of changes in 

corporate status. Responses typically 

approach 85 percent. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: 0607–0350. 

Form Number: C–411. You can obtain 

information on the proposed content at 

this Web site: http://www.census.gov/ 

mcd/clearance. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: State and Local 

Governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,000 per year. 

Estimated Time per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 500 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: The 

cost to the respondents is estimated to 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
19976 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 69 / Monday, April 11, 2011 / Notices 

be $12,170 based on an average hourly 

salary of $24.34 for local government 

employees. This estimate was taken 

from the Census Bureau’s Annual 

Survey of Government Employment for 

2009. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13, United 

States Code, Section 182. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the
