the following conditions: (i) It must be 

classified in the Retail Trade or 

Accommodation and Food Services 

sector; (ii) it must be an active operating 

establishment of a multi-establishment 

firm (i.e., a firm that operates at more 

than one physical location), or it must 

be a single-establishment firm with 

payroll (i.e., a firm operating at only one 

physical location); and (iii) it must be 

located in one of the 50 States or the 

District of Columbia. Mail selection 

procedures will distinguish the 

following groups of establishments: 

1. Establishments of MultiEstablishment Firms 

All active operating establishments of 

multi-establishment firms will be 

included in the mail component of the 

potential respondent universe. We 

estimate that the 2012 Economic Census 

mail canvasses for the Retail Trade and 

Accommodation and Food Services 

sectors will include approximately 

710,000 establishments of multiestablishment firms. 

2. Single-Establishment Firms With 

Payroll 

As an initial step in the selection 

process, we will conduct a study of the 

potential respondent universe. This 

study will produce a set of industryspecific payroll cutoffs that we will use 

to distinguish large versus small singleestablishment firms within each 

industry or kind of business. This 

payroll size distinction will affect 

selection as follows: 

a. Large Single-Establishment Firms 

All single-establishment firms having 

annualized payroll (from Federal 

administrative records) that equals or 

exceeds the cutoff for their industry will 

be included in the mail component of 

the potential respondent universe. We 

estimate that the 2012 Economic Census 

mail canvasses for the Retail Trade and 

Accommodation and Food Services 

sectors will include approximately 

274,000 large single-establishment 

firms. 

b. Small Single-Establishment Firms 

A sample of single-establishment 

firms having annualized payroll below 

the cutoff for their industry will be 

included in the mail component of the 

potential respondent universe. 

Sampling strata and corresponding 

probabilities of selection will be 

determined by a study of the potential 

respondent universe conducted shortly 

before the mail selection operations 

begin. We estimate that the 2012 

Economic Census mail canvasses for the 

Retail Trade and Accommodation and 

Food Services sectors will include 

approximately 217,000 small singleestablishment firms selected in this 

sample. 

All remaining single-establishment 

firms with payroll will be represented in 

the census by data from Federal 

administrative records. Generally, we 

will not include these small employers 

in the census mail canvasses. However, 

administrative records sometimes have 

fundamental industry classification 

deficiencies that make them unsuitable 

for use in producing detailed industry 

statistics by geographic area. When we 

find such a deficiency, we will mail the 

firm a census classification form. We 

estimate that the 2012 Economic Census 

mail canvasses for the Retail Trade and 

Accommodation and Food Services 

sectors will include approximately 

133,000 small single-establishment 

firms that receive these forms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The economic census, conducted 

under authority of Title 13, United 

States Code (U.S.C.), is the primary 

source of facts about the structure and 

functioning of the Nation’s economy. 

Economic statistics serve as part of the 

framework for the national accounts and 

provide essential information for 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2011 / Notices 3083 

government, business, and the general 

public. Economic data are the Census 

Bureau’s primary program commitment 

during nondecennial census years. The 

2012 Economic Census covering the 

Wholesale Trade sector (as defined by 

the North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS)) will 

measure the economic activity of more 

than 450,000 establishments. The 

information collected will produce basic 

statistics by kind of business on the 

number of establishments, sales, 

payroll, and employment. It will also 

yield a variety of subject statistics, 

including sales by product line, sales by 

class of customer, and other industryspecific measures. Primary strategies for 

reducing burden in Census Bureau 

economic data collections are to 

increase reporting through standardized 

questionnaires and broader electronic 

data collection methods. 

II. Method of Collection 

Mail Selection Procedures 

Establishments in the Wholesale 

Trade sector of the economic census 

will be selected from the Census 

Bureau’s Business Register for a mail 

canvass. To be eligible for selection, an 

establishment will be required to satisfy 

the following conditions: (i) It must be 

classified in the Wholesale Trade sector; 

(ii) it must be an active operating 

establishment of a multi-establishment 

firm (i.e., a firm that operates at more 

than one physical location), or it must 

be a single-establishment firm with 

payroll (i.e., a firm operating at only one 

physical location); and (iii) it must be 

located in one of the 50 States or the 

District of Columbia. Mail selection 

procedures will distinguish the 

following groups of establishments: 

1. Establishments of MultiEstablishment Firms 

All active operating establishments of 

multi-establishment firms will be 

included in the mail component of the 

potential respondent universe. We 

estimate that the 2012 Economic Census 

mail canvass for the Wholesale Trade 

sector will include approximately 

134,000 establishments of multiestablishment firms. 

2. Single-Establishment Firms With 

Payroll 

All single-establishment firms having 

annualized payroll (from Federal 

administrative records) will be included 

in the mail component of the potential 

respondent universe. We estimate that 

the 2012 Economic Census mail canvass 

for the Wholesale Trade sector will 

include approximately 316,000 

establishments of single-establishment 

firms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 30, 2010, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on certain 

welded carbon steel pipe and tube from 

Turkey covering the period May 1, 2009, 

through April 30, 2010. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Requests 

for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 37759 

(June 30, 2010). The preliminary results 

are currently due no later than January 

30, 2011. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to make a 

preliminary determination within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order for which a review 

is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act further states that if it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within the time period specified, the 

administering authority may extend the 

245-day period to issue its preliminary 

results to up to 120 days. 

We determine that completion of the 

preliminary results of this review within 

the 245-day period is not practicable 

because we have complex technical 

issues relating to quarterly cost and 

affiliated parties, which require 

additional information and analysis for 

this administrative review. Due to these 

reasons and in accordance with section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending 

the time period for issuing the 

preliminary results of the review by 120 

days. The preliminary results are now
