Rescission of the Administrative 

Review 

Based upon the certifications and the 

evidence on the record, the Department 

finds TMI’s claim of no shipments of 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR to be 

substantiated. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3), the Department may 

rescind an administrative review, in 

whole or with respect to a particular 

exporter or producer, if the Secretary 

concludes that, during the period 

covered by the review, there were no 

entries, exports, or sales of the subject 

merchandise. Therefore, the Department 

is rescinding this review in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). The 

Department intends to instruct CBP 

fifteen days after the publication of this 

notice to liquidate such entries. 

Antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2). 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: November 19, 2010. 

Susan H. Kuhbach, 

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Linda Glatz, Division of Policy and 

Planning, Office of Information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 

44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c), 

and includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information 

before submitting the collection to the 

OMB for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the CPSC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, the CPSC 

invites comments on these topics: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the CPSC’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the CPSC’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Consistent with the OMB 

Memorandum on the Use of Challenges 

and Prizes to Promote Open 

Government (M–10–11, March 8, 2010), 

the CPSC intends to establish contests 

and give awards to members of the 

public to further the mission of the 

CPSC. The purposes of the proposed 

contests and awards range from 

increasing the knowledge and 

awareness of schoolchildren of certain 

safety hazards, such as carbon 

monoxide poisoning, to recognizing 

outstanding consumer product safety 

accomplishments of scientists, business 

leaders, entrepreneurs, and others who 

have demonstrated support of the 

CPSC’s product safety mission. The 

CPSC awards and contests will highlight 

excellence in consumer product safety 

to motivate, inspire, and guide others, 

including companies across the supply 

chain; to increase the number and 

diversity of the individuals, 

organizations, and teams that are 

addressing consumer product safety 

issues; to educate children and 

consumers about safety hazards; and to 

attract more public interest and 

attention to the issues involving 

consumer product hazards and safety. 

The CPSC is seeking OMB approval 

for a generic clearance for CPSC’s 

contests and awards. The information to 

be collected from contestants and award 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

73048 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 228 / Monday, November 29, 2010 / Notices 

nominees or nominators includes 

contact and background information 

necessary to conduct a contest or award 

program. Limited background or 

biographical information similar to data 

found on a resume, such as a nominee’s 

education and work experience, may be 

requested for some contests or awards. 

Additionally, the substantive entries 

that are the subject of the contests or 

awards, such as essays, posters, 

drawings, and videos, descriptions of 

products, services, or invention 

descriptions, and statistics on product 

or service performance or impact, may 

be requested from contestants and 

award nominees. 

We estimate the burden of this 

collection of information as follows. The 

CPSC estimates up to 500 contest or 

award participants each year. The 

estimated time to complete a contest or 

award submission is five hours. In 

addition, approximately 20 applicants 

may be asked to provide additional 

information, a task that may take up to 

two additional hours to complete. 

Therefore, the total estimated burden on 

respondents is 2,540 hours ((500 

participants × 5 hours/participant) + (20 

applicants × 2 hours/participant) = 

2,500 hours + 40 hours = 2,540 hours). 

The estimated total annual cost of the 

burden to all respondents is $75,463. 

This estimate is based on the total 

estimated burden on respondents (2,540 

hours) multiplied against an hourly 

civilian rate of $29.71 per hour as 

specified by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, March 2010, All Workers, 

resulting in a total of $75,463.40 which 

we have rounded down to $75,463. 

We estimate the total annual costs to 

the Federal government as follows. Ten 

staff members would support the 

contest or award activities annually. 

The CPSC tentatively estimates that 

each staff member will spend 

approximately six hours per work week 

for six months on such contest or award 

activities. Of the ten staff members, the 

CPSC tentatively believes that seven 

will be General Schedule (GS) 

employees and three will be Senior 

Executive Service (SES) employees. 

Accordingly, for seven GS employees, 

the estimated total annual cost to the 

Federal government is determined as 

follows: Seven employees × (six hours/ 

week/employee × 24 weeks) = 1,008 

hours. Assuming the employees are at 

the GS–15, Step 5 level, the hourly rate 

for such an employee located in the 

Washington, DC area is $67.21/hour; 

thus $67.21/hour × 1,008 hours = 

$67,747.68. For the SES employees 

three employees × (six hours/week/ 

employee × 24 weeks) = 432 hours. 

Assuming the employees are at the 

Level III level for SES employees, the 

hourly rate for such an employee is 

approximately $79.47/hour; thus 

$79.47/hour × 432 hours = $34,331.04. 

The estimated total annual cost to the 

Federal government is $67,747.68 + 

$34,331.04 = $102,078.72, which we 

have rounded up to $102,079.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

108 of the CPSIA permanently prohibits 

the sale of any ‘‘children’s toy or child 

care article’’ containing more than 0.1 

percent of each of three specified 

phthalates: Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate 

(DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and 

benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP). Section 

108 of the CPSIA also prohibits, on an 

interim basis, the sale of any ‘‘children’s 

toy that can be placed in a child’s 

mouth’’ or ‘‘child care article’’ containing 

more than 0.1 percent of each of three 

additional phthalates: diisononyl 

phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate 

(DIDP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP). 

Moreover, section 108 of the CPSIA 

requires the Commission to convene a 

CHAP ‘‘to study the effects on children’s 

health of all phthalates and phthalate 

alternatives as used in children’s toys 

and child care articles.’’ The CPSIA 

requires the CHAP to complete an 

examination of the full range of 

phthalates that are used in products for 

children and: 

• Examine all of the potential health 

effects (including endocrine disrupting 

effects) of the full range of phthalates; 

• Consider the potential health effects 

of each of these phthalates, both in 

isolation and in combination with other 

phthalates; 

• Examine the likely levels of 

children’s, pregnant women’s, and 

others’ exposure to phthalates, based on 

a reasonable estimation of normal and 

foreseeable use and abuse of such 

products; 

• Consider the cumulative effect of 

total exposure to phthalates, both from 

children’s products and from other 

sources, such as personal care products; 

• Review all relevant data, including 

the most recent, best-available, peerreviewed, scientific studies of these 

phthalates and phthalate alternatives 

that employ objective data collection 

practices or employ other objective 

methods; 

• Consider the health effects of 

phthalates not only from ingestion but 

also as a result of dermal, hand-tomouth, or other exposure; 

• Consider the level at which there is 

a reasonable certainty of no harm to 

children, pregnant women, or other 

susceptible individuals and their 

offspring, considering the best available 

science, and using sufficient safety 

factors to account for uncertainties 

regarding exposure and susceptibility of 

children, pregnant women, and other 

potentially susceptible individuals; and 

• Consider possible similar health 

effects of phthalate alternatives used in 

children’s toys and child care articles. 

The CHAP’s examination must be 

conducted de novo, and the CPSIA 

contemplates completion of the CHAP’s 

examination within 18 months of the 

CHAP’s appointment. The CHAP must
