Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

DOC has submitted 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 of 1995, Public Law 104–13 (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). 

Bureau: International Trade 

Administration. 

Title: Information on Articles for 

Physically or Mentally Handicapped 

Persons Imported Free of Duty. 

Agency Form Number: ITA–362P. 

OMB Number: 0625–0118. 

Type of Request: Extension-Regular 

Submission. 

Burden: 337 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 240. 

Avg. Hours Per Response: 4 minutes. 

Needs and Uses: Congress, when it 

enacted legislation to implement the 

Nairobi Protocol to the Florence 

Agreement, included a provision for the 

Departments of Commerce and 

Homeland Security to collect 

information on the import of articles for 

the handicapped. Form ITA–362P, 

Information on Articles for Physically or 

Mentally Handicapped Persons 

Imported Free of Duty, is the vehicle by 

which statistical information is obtained 

to assess whether the duty-free 

treatment of articles for the 

handicapped has had a significant 

adverse impact on a domestic industry 

(or portion thereof) manufacturing or 

producing a like or directly competitive 

article. Without the collection of data, it 

would be almost impossible for a sound 

determination to be made and for the 

President to appropriately redress the 

situation. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit, not-for-profit institutions, 

state, local or tribal governments, 

federal government, individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: On Occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit, voluntary. 

OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, 

(202) 395–7340. 

Copies of the above information 

collection proposal can be obtained by 

writing Diana Hynek, Departmental 

Paperwork Clearance Officer, 

Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 

14th and Constitution Ave., NW., 

Washington, DC 20230; or via the 

Internet at dHynek@doc.gov.

Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

via e-mail to 

David_Rostker@omb.eop.gov within 30 

days of publication of this Federal 

Register notice.

Dated: October 28, 2004.

Information Officer.

Bureau of the Census 

[Docket Number 041021286–4286–01] 

Annual Retail Trade Survey

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, 

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of determination.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census 

(Census Bureau) is conducting the 

Annual Retail Trade Survey. The 

Census Bureau has determined that it 

needs to collect data covering annual 

sales, e-commerce sales, percent of ecommerce sales to customers located 

outside the United States, year-end 

inventories, purchases, accounts 

receivables, and, for select industries, 

merchandise line sales and percent of 

sales by class of customer.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Nancy Piesto, Service Sector Statistics 

Division, on (301) 763–2747.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Annual Retail Trade Survey is a 

continuation of similar retail trade 

surveys conducted each year since 1951 

(except 1954). It provides on a 

comparable classification basis, annual 

sales, e-commerce sales, and purchases 

for 2004 and year-end inventories for 

2003 and 2004. These data are not 

available publicly on a timely basis from 

nongovernmental or other governmental 

sources. 

The Census Bureau will require a 

selected sample of firms operating retail 

establishments in the United States 

(with sales size determining the 

probability of selection) to report in the 

2004 Annual Retail Trade Survey. We 

will furnish report forms to the firms 

covered by this survey and will require 

their submissions within 30 days after 

receipt. The sample will provide, with 

measurable reliability, statistics on the 

subjects specified above. 

The Census Bureau is authorized to 

take surveys that are necessary to 

furnish current data on the subjects 

covered by the major censuses 

authorized by Title 13, United States 

Code, Sections 182, 224, and 225. This 

survey will provide continuing and 

timely national statistical data on retail 

trade for the period between economic 

censuses. For 2004, the survey will, as 

it has in the past, operate as a separate 

sample of retail companies. The data 

collected in this survey will be similar 

to that collected in the past and within 

the general scope and nature of those 

inquiries covered in the economic 

census. These data will provide a sound 

statistical basis for the formation of 

policy by various government agencies. 

These data also apply to a variety of 

public and business needs. 

Notwithstanding any other provision 

of law, no person is required to respond 

to, nor shall a person be subject to a 

penalty for failure to comply with, a 

collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) unless that 

collection of information displays a 

current valid Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) control number. In 

accordance with the PRA, 44 United 

States Code, Chapter 35, the OMB 

approved the Annual Retail Trade 

Survey under OMB Control Number 

0607–0013. We will furnish report 

forms to organizations included in the 

survey. Additional copies are available 

on written request to the Director, U.S. 

Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–

0101. 

Based upon the foregoing, I have 

directed that an annual survey be 

conducted for the purpose of collecting 

these data.

Dated: October 28, 2004. 

Charles Louis Kincannon, 

Director, Bureau of the Census.
