SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request a 

three-year extension of a currently 

approved collection for forms C–700, 

Private Construction Projects; C–700(R), 

Multifamily Residential Projects; and C– 

700(SL), State and Local Government 

Projects. These forms are used to 

conduct the Construction Progress 

Reporting Surveys (CPRS) to collect 

information on the dollar value of 

construction put in place by private 

companies, individuals, private 

multifamily residential buildings, and 

state and local governments. 

The Census Bureau is the preeminent 

collector and provider of timely, 

relevant and quality data about the 

people and economy of the United 

States. The Form C–700, Private 

Construction Projects, collects 

construction put in place data for 

nonresidential projects owned by 

private companies or individuals. The 

Form C–700(R), Multifamily Residential 

Projects, collects construction put in 

place data for private multifamily 

residential buildings. The Form C– 

700(SL), State and Local Government 

Projects, collects construction put in 

place data for state and local 

government projects. 

The Census Bureau uses the 

information from these surveys to 

publish the value of construction put in 

place series. Published estimates are 

used by a variety of private business and 

trade associations to estimate the 

demand for building materials and to 

schedule production, distribution, and 

sales efforts. They also provide various 

government agencies with a tool to 

evaluate economic policy and to 

measure progress towards established 

goals. For example, Bureau of Economic 

Analysis staff use data to develop the 

construction components of gross 

private domestic investment in the gross 

domestic product. The Federal Reserve 

Board and the Department of the 

Treasury use the value in place data to 

predict the gross domestic product, 

which is presented to the Board of 

Governors and has an impact on 

monetary policy. 

II. Method of Collection 

An independent systematic sample of 

projects is selected each month 

according to predetermined sample 

rates. Once a project is selected, it 

remains in the sample until completion 

of the project. Preprinted forms are 

mailed monthly to respondents to fill in 

current month data and any revisions to 

previous months. Some respondents are 

later called by a Census interviewer and 

report data over the phone. Having the 

information available from a database at 

the time of the interview greatly helps 

reduce the time respondents spend on 

the phone. Interviews are scheduled at 

the convenience of the respondent, 

which further reduces their burden.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 27, 2009, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Department’’) issued its 

preliminary results for the changed 

circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order of certain 

activated carbon from the People’s 

Republic of China. See Certain 

Activated Carbon from the People’s 

Republic of China: Notice of Initiation 

and Preliminary Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review, and Intent to 

Revoke Order in Part 74 FR 4736 

(January 27, 2009) (Preliminary Results). 

On February 9, 2009, the Department 

received comments from Applica 

Consumer Products Inc., an importer of 

coffeemakers and self–cleaning litter 

boxes that uses filters. On February 17, 

2009, the Department received 

comments from Calgon Carbon 

Corporation and Norti Americas Inc., 

petitioners in this proceeding, and also 

from Rolf C. Hagen (USA) Corp., the 

requestor of this changed circumstance 

review. The current deadline for the 

final results of this review is October 26, 

2009. 

Extension of Time Limits for Final 

Results 

In our Preliminary Results, we 

indicated, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.216(e), that the Department will 

issue the final results in the instant 

changed circumstances review within 

270 days after the date on which the 

changed circumstances review is 

initiated. Currently, the final results of 

this changed circumstances review are 

due October 26, 2009. However, as 

explained below, the Department 

determines that good cause exists to 

extend the time limits for completion of 

this changed circumstances review. 

Accordingly, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.302(b), we are extending the time 

limit by 60 days. 

Subsequent to the Preliminary 

Results, the Department received 

comments from interested parties. 

Because of those comments, the 

Department has determined that it 

requires additional time to analyze the 

complex issues raised by interested 

parties regarding the scope exclusion 

request. Consequently, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.302(b), the Department 

is extending the time period for issuing 

the final results in the instant review by 

60 days. Therefore, the final results will 

be due no later than December 25, 2009. 

As December 25, 2009, is a Federal 

holiday, our final results will be issued 

no later than Monday, December 28, 

2009. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with sections 751(b) and 

777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended.
