64024 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 3, 2004 / Notices 

Union address, President George W. 

Bush called upon every American to 

dedicate at least two years over the 

course of their lives to volunteering, and 

a vast network of government agencies, 

nonprofit organizations and 

associations, schools, volunteer centers, 

and community and corporate 

foundations work to promote 

volunteering and civic engagement 

across the country to help Americans 

meet this call. 

In order to measure our progress in 

these efforts, it is essential to establish 

baseline data. Through the Youth 

Volunteering and Civic Engagement 

Study, we will have the capacity to 

obtain this baseline data, as well as 

ascertain progress through future data 

collections. This study intends to collect 

data on volunteering and civic 

engagement among American teenagers, 

12 to 18 years of age, and disseminate 

this information among organizations 

and individuals that might utilize these 

data. We plan to collect baseline data in 

early 2005, and conduct data collections 

every two years after the baseline. This 

population was last studied in 1995 by 

Independent Sector, which released a 

report subsequent to the study. 

The survey will generate information 

identified as priority data needed by 

federal agencies, states, nonprofit 

organizations and associations, schools, 

foundations, researchers, and other 

survey users. General categories of 

information to be collected will include 

educational attainment and general 

activities, participation in volunteer 

activities, attitudes toward and 

experiences with national and 

community service, and civic attitudes 

and behaviors. The survey will also 

collect information on types of 

organizations with which teens serve, 

the work teens perform at these 

organizations, the attitudes and 

motivations of teens that volunteer, and 

the reasons why some teens do not 

volunteer. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Every two years. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The International Trade 

Administration’s U.S. Commercial 

Service is mandated by Congress to help 

U.S. businesses, particularly small and 

medium-sized companies, export their 

products and services to global markets. 

As part of its mission, the U.S. 

Commercial Service uses ‘‘Quality 

Assurance Surveys’’ to collect feedback 

from the U.S. business clients it serves. 

The subject survey deals with a 

particular aspect of service provided by 

U.S. Commercial Service trade 

specialists. These specialists counsel 

clients about their international 

marketing needs and work with the 

clients to provide global trade solutions. 

A significant part of a trade specialist’s 

role is to counsel clients, and the 

majority of time with clients is spent 

counseling. The subject survey asks 

clients whether they are satisfied with 

the counseling they have received from 

U.S. Commercial Service domestic trade 

specialists. Results from the survey will 

be used to make improvements to the 

agency’s business processes, in order to 

provide better and more effective export 

assistance to U.S. companies. 

II. Method of Collection 

Form ITA–XXXX is sent to U.S. 

companies that receive counseling from 

U.S. Commercial Service trade 

specialists

Comments are invited on (a) whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for 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

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.

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.

Director, Bureau of the Census.
