SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority: 

Section 3103 of the Trade Act of 2002, 

Public Law 107–210; Presidential 

Proclamation 7616 of October 31, 2002, 

67 FR 67283 (November 5, 2002);

Section 3103 of the Trade Act of 2002 

amended the Andean Trade Preference 

Act (ATPA) to provide for duty- and 

quota-free treatment for certain textile 

and apparel articles imported from 

designated Andean Trade Promotion 

and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA) 

beneficiary countries. Section 

204(b)(3)(B)(iii) of the amended ATPA 

provides duty- and quota-free treatment 

for certain apparel articles assembled in 

ATPDEA beneficiary countries from 

regional fabric and components, subject 

to quantitative limitation. More 

specifically, this provision applies to 

apparel articles sewn or otherwise 

assembled in one or more ATPDEA 

beneficiary countries from fabrics or 

from fabric components formed or from 

components knit-to-shape, in one or 

more ATPDEA beneficiary countries, 

from yarns wholly formed in the United 

States or one or more ATPDEA 

beneficiary countries (including fabrics 

not formed from yarns, if such fabrics 

are classifiable under heading 5602 and 

5603 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

(HTS) and are formed in one or more 

ATPDEA beneficiary countries). Such 

apparel articles may also contain certain 

other eligible fabrics, fabric 

components, or components knit-toshape. 

Title VII of the Tax Relief and Health 

Care Act (TRHCA) of 2006, Public Law 

107–432, extended the expiration of the 

ATPA to June 30, 2007. See Section 

7002(a) of the TRHCA 2006. H.R. 1830, 

110th Cong. (2007), further extended the 

expiration of the ATPA to February 29, 

2008. H.R. 5264, 110th Cong. (2008), 

further extended the expiration of the 

ATPA to December 31, 2008. H.R. 7222, 

110th Cong. (2008), further extended the 

expiration of the ATPA to December 31, 

2009. H.R 4284, 111th Cong. (2009), 

further extended the expiration of the 

ATPA to December 31, 2010. 

The purpose of this notice is to extend 

the period of the quantitative limitation 

for preferential tariff treatment under 

the regional fabric provision for imports 

of qualifying apparel articles for a full 

12-month period, through September 

30, 2010. 

For the period beginning on October 

1, 2009 and extending through 

September 30, 2010, the aggregate 

quantity of imports eligible for 

preferential treatment under the 

regional fabric provision is 

1,163,423,598 square meters equivalent. 

Apparel articles entered in excess of this 

quantity will be subject to otherwise 

applicable tariffs. 

This quantity is calculated using the 

aggregate square meter equivalents of all 

apparel articles imported into the 

United States, derived from the set of 

Harmonized System lines listed in the 

Annex to the World Trade Organization 

Agreement on Textiles and Clothing 

(ATC), and the conversion factors for 

units of measure into square meter 

equivalents used by the United States in 

implementing the ATC.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

resubmit 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). The clearance request was 

withdrawn and is now being 

resubmitted because the Census Bureau 

has made changes to the request. The 

sample size has been lowered, the 

reinterview rate has been increased and 

a new Census Coverage Measurement 

Recall Bias Panel Study has been added. 

Two previous notices were published in 

the Federal Register announcing plans 

to submit this request (June 19, 2009 on 

page 29166 and Nov. 24, 2009 on page 

61329). Neither of the previous notices 

included information about these 

changes. 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: 2010 Census Coverage 

Measurement, Person Interview, Person 

Interview Reinterview, and Recall Bias 

Panel Study. 

OMB Control Number: None. 

Form Number(s): All data will be 

collected using automated instruments 

on computers. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Burden Hours: 68,938. 

Number of Respondents: 275,750. 

Average Hours per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census 

Bureau requests authorization from the 

Office of Management and Budget to 

conduct the Census Coverage 

Measurement (CCM) Person Interview 

(PI) and Person Interview Reinterview 

(PIRI) operations as part of the 2010 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

1590 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 12, 2010 / Notices 

Census. The CCM program will provide 

estimates of net coverage error and 

components of coverage error 

(omissions and erroneous enumerations) 

for housing units and persons in 

housing units. The data collection and 

matching methodologies for previous 

coverage measurement programs were 

designed only to measure net coverage 

error, which reflects the difference 

between omissions and erroneous 

inclusions. 

The 2010 CCM will be comprised of 

two samples selected to measure census 

coverage of housing units and the 

household population: The population 

sample (P sample) and the enumeration 

sample (E sample). The primary 

sampling unit is a block cluster, which 

consists of one or more contiguous 

census blocks. The P sample is a sample 

of housing units and persons obtained 

independently from the census for a 

sample of block clusters. The E sample 

is a sample of census housing units and 

enumerations in the same block cluster 

as the P sample. The results of the 

housing unit matching operations will 

be used to determine which CCM and 

Census addresses will be eligible to go 

to the CCM Person Interview (PI) 

Operation. The PI Operations will 

contain approximately 205,000 sample 

addresses. The Person Interview 

Reinterview Operation will be a sample 

of those cases with an estimate of 30,750 

sample addresses. 

The automated PI instrument will be 

used to collect the following 

information for persons in housing units 

only: 

1. Roster of people living at the 

housing unit at the time of the CCM PI 

Interview. 

2. Census Day (April 1, 2010) address 

information from people who moved 

into the sample address since Census 

Day. 

3. Other addresses where a person 

may have been counted on Census Day. 

4. Other information to help us 

determine where a person should have 

been counted as of Census Day (relative 

to Census residence rules). For example, 

enumerators will probe for persons who 

might have been left off the household 

roster; ask additional questions about 

persons who moved from another 

address on Census Day to the sample 

address; collect additional information 

for persons with multiple addresses; 

and collect information on the addresses 

of other potential residences for 

household members. 

5. Demographic information for each 

person in the household on Interview 

Day or Census Day, including name, 

date of birth, sex, race, Hispanic Origin, 

and relationship. 

6. Name and above information for 

any person who has moved out of the 

sample address since Census Day (if 

known). 

We also will conduct a quality control 

operation—PI Reinterview (PIRI) on 15 

percent of the PI cases. The purpose of 

the operation is to confirm that the PI 

enumerator conducted a PI interview 

with an actual household member or a 

valid proxy respondent and conduct a 

full person interview when falsification 

is suspected. If PIRI results indicate 

falsified information by the original 

enumerator, all cases worked by the 

original enumerator are reworked by 

reassigning the cases to a different PI 

enumerator. 

In addition to the CCM PI Operation, 

CCM will conduct a Recall Bias Panel 

Study that will be conducted using an 

automated instrument over the phone. 

The study will examine recall bias in 

the CCM with respect to residence 

during the 2010 Census cycle. One of 

the recurring questions regarding the 

2010 CCM is whether conducting the 

CCM Person Interview (PI) and CCM 

Person Followup (PFU) operations, later 

than in previous post-enumeration 

surveys, will cause degradation on the 

data collection of respondent moves 

since Census Day (April 1, 2010) and 

the information on alternate addresses 

for the residents. The main goal of the 

study is to provide initial insight into 

the issue of recall bias for the CCM PI 

and PFU. This initial study will 

measure if we can detect a problem as 

our contact moves away from Census 

Day, but will not be able to detect if the 

reporting errors cancel each other out. 

Therefore, if no problem is found, we 

will not be able to conclude that there 

is not a problem with recall bias. The 

plan is to design and implement further 

studies of this issue for CCM in the 2020 

Decennial testing life cycle. 

Four panels of random digit dialing 

(RDD) respondents will be interviewed 

during May, June and September 2010, 

and February 2011. These time periods 

represent the current timing for 2010 

Census Nonresponse Followup, 

Coverage Followup, CCM Person 

Interview (PI), and the CCM Person 

Followup (PFU) operations. The study 

will collect the sample information as 

the CCM PI operation. The study will 

include 10,000 numbers per panel for a 

total of 40,000 individuals that can be 

contacted. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: One time. 

Respondent’s Obligation: PI 

Operation: Mandatory. 

Recall Study: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13, United 

States Code, Sections 141 and 193.
