CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD 

INVESTIGATION BOARD 

Sunshine Act Meeting—September 15, 

2009—6 p.m. 

In connection with its investigation 

into the cause of a December 19, 2007, 

explosion and subsequent chemical fire 

at the T2 Laboratories, Inc., a chemical 

manufacturer in Jacksonville, Florida, 

the Chemical Safety and Hazard 

Investigation Board announces that it 

will convene a public meeting on 

September 15, 2009, starting at 6 p.m. at 

the Marriott Hotel located at 4670 

Salisbury Rd in Jacksonville, Florida in 

‘‘The Florida Room.’’ 

At the meeting CSB staff will present 

to the Board the results of their 

investigation into this incident. Key 

issues involved in the investigation 

concern reactive hazard recognition, 

hazard education, emergency 

preparedness, and process design and 

scale-up. This will be followed by a 

public comment period prior to a Board 

vote on the report. 

Incident Description: On December 

19th, T2 Laboratories, Inc. was 

producing a batch of 

methylcyclopentadienyl manganese 

tricarbonyl (MCMT). A problem soon 

occurred and the process operator had 

an outside operator call the owners to 

report a cooling problem and request 

they return to the site. Upon their 

return, one of the two owners went to 

the control room to assist. A few 

minutes later, the reactor burst and its 

contents exploded, killing the owner 

and process operator who were in the 

control room and two outside operators 

who were exiting the reactor area. It also 

injured 32, including four employees 

and 28 members of the public who were 

working in surrounding businesses. 

Debris from the reactor was found up to 

one mile away, and the explosion 

damaged buildings within one quarter 

mile of the facility. 

Following the staff presentation and 

the conclusion of the public comment 

period, the Board will consider whether 

to approve the final report and 

recommendations. All staff 

presentations are preliminary and are 

intended solely to allow the Board to 

consider in a public forum the issues 

and factors involved in this case. No 

factual analyses, conclusions or findings 

presented by staff should be considered 

final. Only after the Board has 

considered the final staff presentation, 

listened to the witnesses and the public 

comments and approved the staff report 

will there be an approved final record 

of this incident. 

The meeting will be open to the 

public. Please notify CSB if a translator 

or interpreter is needed, at least 5 

business days prior to the public 

meeting. For more information, please 

contact the Chemical Safety and Hazard 

Investigation Board at (202) 261–7600, 

or visit our Web site at: http://

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit 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). 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: 2009—2011 Company 

Organization Survey. 

Form Number(s): NC–99001, NC– 

99007. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0444. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden Hours: 127,517. 

Number of Respondents: 48,000. 

Average Hours per Response: 2 hours 

and 40 minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau 

is requesting an extension of the 

currently approved Company 

Organization Survey (COS) to conduct 

the 2009, 2010 and 2011 COS. This 

collection will direct inquiries to multiestablishment enterprises and selected 

single-establishment companies. The 

Census Bureau conducts the annual 

COS in order to update and maintain a 

central, multipurpose Business Register 

(BR). In particular, the COS supplies 

critical information on the 

organizational structure, operating 

characteristics, and employment and 

payroll of multi-location enterprises. 

The 2009–2011 COS collection will not 

differ from the 2008. The sample size 

will remain the same as in 2008 

surveying 48,000 respondents. 

Form NC–99001 is mailed to multilocation enterprises. We ask questions 

on ownership or control by a domestic 

parent, ownership or control by a 

foreign parent, and ownership of foreign 

affiliates; research and development, 

and employees from a professional 

employer organization. Establishment 

inquiries include questions on 

operational status, mid-March 

employment, first-quarter payroll, and 

annual payroll of establishments (see 

Attachment A, Item 5 of NC–99001). 

In addition to the mailing of multilocation enterprises, the Census Bureau 

will mail Form NC–99007 to some large 

single-location enterprises that may 

have added some locations. Form NC– 

99007 contains questions on ownership 

and control by a domestic company, 

number of locations of operation, 

physical location, locations of 

operation, and inquiries on mid-March 

employment, first-quarter payroll, and 

annual payroll for each separate 

location. 

The BR serves two fundamental 

purposes: First and most important, it 

provides sampling populations and 

enumeration lists for the Census 

Bureau’s economic surveys and 

censuses, and it serves as an integral 

part of the statistical foundation 

underlying those programs. Essential for 

this purpose is the BR’s ability to 

identify all known United States 

business establishments and their 

parent companies. Further, the BR must 

accurately record basic business 

attributes needed to control sampling 

and enumeration. These attributes 

include industrial and geographic 

classifications, measures of size and 

economic activity, ownership 

characteristics, and contact information 

(for example, name and address). 

Second, it provides establishment 

data that serve as the basis for the 

annual County Business Patterns (CBP) 

statistical series. The CBP reports 

present data on number of

establishments, first quarter payroll, 

annual payroll, and mid-March 

employment summarized by industry 

and employment size class for the 

United States, the District of Columbia, 

Puerto Rico, counties, and countyequivalents. No other annual or more 

frequent series of industry statistics 

provides comparable detail, particularly 

for small geographic areas. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions; Farms; 

State, local or Tribal governments. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., 

Sections 182, 195, 224, and 225. 

OMB Desk Officer: Brian HarrisKojetin, (202) 395–7314.

collection proposal can be obtained by 

calling or writing Diana Hynek,

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this
