R&D performance and funding with 

domestic and foreign ownership detail. 

BEA will use the linked data to augment 

its existing R&D-related data, identify 

data quality issues arising from 

reporting differences in BEA and Census 

Bureau surveys, and improve its survey 

sample frames. The Census Bureau will 

identify unmatched companies on BEA 

files that conduct R&D activities and 

add them to the R&D survey to improve 

the survey’s sample. The NSF will be 

provided non-confidential aggregate 

data (public use) and reports that have 

cleared BEA and Census Bureau 

disclosure review. Disclosure review is 

a process conducted to verify that the 

data to be released do not reveal any 

confidential information. 

(2) BEA will also provide data to the 

Census Bureau in order to link records 

from its surveys of U.S. international 

services transactions, U.S. direct 

investment abroad, and foreign direct 

investment in the United States with 

information from the Census Bureau’s 

Business Register and with data from 

the 2002 Economic Census. This linked 

information will be used by the BEA to 

evaluate the feasibility of developing 

state-level estimates of service exports. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted on or before March 26, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Please direct all written 

comments on this proposed program to 

the Director, Bureau of Economic 

Analysis (BE–1), Washington, DC 20230. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information on 

this proposed program should be 

directed to Ned G. Howenstine, Chief, 

Research Branch, International 

Investment Division, Bureau of 

Economic Analysis (BE–50), 

Washington, DC 20230, by phone (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

CIPSEA (Pub. L. 107–347, Title V) and 

the International Investment and Trade 

in Services Survey Act (Pub. L. 94–472, 

22 United States Code (U.S.C.) 3101- 

3108) allow BEA and the Census Bureau 

to share certain business data for 

exclusively statistical purposes. Section 

524(d) of the CIPSEA requires a Federal 

Register notice announcing the intent to 

share data (allowing 60 days for public 

comment). Section 524(d) also requires 

us to provide information about the 

terms of the agreement for data sharing. 

For purposes of this notice, BEA has 

decided to group these terms by three 

categories. The categories are: 

• Shared data. 

• Statistical purposes for the shared 

data. 

• Data access and confidentiality. 

Shared Data 

BEA proposes to provide the Census 

Bureau with data from its surveys of 

U.S. direct investment abroad, foreign 

direct investment in the United States, 

and U.S. international services 

transactions. The agreement also calls 

for the Census Bureau to share data 

collected from the Survey of Industrial 

Research and Development, the 2002 

Economic Census, and its Business 

Register with BEA. The Census Bureau 

will issue a separate notice addressing 

this issue. The shared BEA and Census 

Bureau data will be used for statistical 

purposes only. 

Statistical Purposes for the Shared Data 

Data collected in BEA’s surveys of 

direct investment are used to develop 

estimates of the financing and 

operations of U.S. parent companies, 

their foreign affiliates, and U.S. affiliates 

of foreign companies, and estimates of 

transactions and positions between 

parents and affiliates. Data collected in 

BEA’s surveys of U.S. international 

services transactions are used to 

develop estimates of services 

transactions between U.S. persons (in a 

broad legal sense, including companies) 

and foreign persons. These estimates are 

published in the Survey of Current 

Business, BEA’s monthly journal; in 

other BEA publications; and on BEA’s 

Web site at http://www.bea.gov/. All 

data are collected under sections 3101–

3108, of Title 22, U.S.C. 

The data sets created by linking these 

data with the data from the abovedesignated Census Bureau surveys and 

Business Register will be used for 

several exclusively statistical purposes 

by both agencies, such as for evaluating 

the feasibility of developing state-level 

estimates of U.S. services exports, and 

producing aggregate tabulations of data 

for the NSF that augment and improve 

information on international aspects of 

R&D performance, funding, and related 

economic activity. 

Data Access and Confidentiality 

Title 22, U.S.C. 3104 protects the 

confidentiality of the data to be 

provided by BEA to the Census Bureau. 

The data may be seen only by persons 

sworn to uphold the confidentiality of 

the information. Access to the shared 

data will be restricted to specifically 

authorized personnel and will be 

provided for statistical purposes only. 

Any results of this research are subject 

to BEA disclosure protection. All 

Census Bureau employees with access 

to these data will become BEA Special 

Sworn Employees—meaning that they, 

under penalty of law, must uphold the 

data’s confidentiality. Selected NSF 

employees will provide BEA with 

expertise on various aspects of R&D 

performance and funding of companies 

that provide data to BEA. These NSF 

consultants assisting with the work at 

the BEA also will become BEA Special 

Sworn Employees. No confidential data 

will be provided to the NSF.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 7, 2006, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published 

in the Federal Register the preliminary 

results of the first antidumping duty 

administrative review of carbazole 

violet pigment 23 (CVP–23) from the 

People’s Republic of China (PRC), 

covering the period June 24, 2004, 

through November 30, 2005. See 

Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from the 

People’s Republic of China; Preliminary 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review and Rescission 

in Part, 71 FR 65073 (November 7, 

2006). The final results for this 

administrative review are currently due 

no later than March 7, 2007. 

Extension of Time Limit for the Final 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to issue the 

final results of an administrative review 

within 120 days after the date on which 

mstockstill on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES

2856 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 14 / Tuesday, January 23, 2007 / Notices 

the preliminary results are published. If 

it is not practicable to complete the 

review within that time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend the deadline for 

the final results by a maximum of 180 

days. 

The Department requires additional 

time to consider complex issues raised 

by interested parties, particularly with 

respect to surrogate values. Thus, it is 

not practicable to complete this review 

within the original time limit. 

Therefore, the Department is extending 

the time limit for completion of the final 

results by 60 days, in accordance with 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final 

results are now due not later than May 

7, 2007, the next business day after 180 

days from publication of the 

preliminary results. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

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

Dated: January 17, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 6, 2004, the Department 

published in the Federal Register an 

antidumping duty order on ironing 

tables from the PRC. See Notice of 

Amended Final Determination of Sales 

at Less Than Fair Value and 

Antidumping Duty Order: Floor–

Standing, Metal–Top Ironing Tables and 

Certain Parts Thereof From the People’s 

Republic of China, 69 FR 47868 (August 

6, 2004) (Ironing Tables Order). On 

August 1, 2006, the Department 

published a Notice of Opportunity to 

Request Administrative Review of 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation, 71 FR 43441. 

On August 2, 2006, Foshan Shunde, 

requested, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b)(2), an administrative review 

of the antidumping duty order on 

ironing tables from the PRC. On August 

29, 2006, Since Hardware (Guangzhou) 

Co., Ltd. (Since Hardware) requested, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2), 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on ironing 

tables from the PRC. On August 31, 

2006, Home Products International Inc., 

petitioner, also requested, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on ironing 

tables from the PRC for Since Hardware 

for the POR. On September 29, 2006, the 

Department initiated an administrative 

review of the two companies. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 

2006). 

On December 21, 2006, Foshan 

Shunde filed a letter withdrawing its 

request. Foshan Shunde was the only 

party to request a review of entries of 

subject merchandise exported by 

Foshan Shunde. 

Rescission of Review 

The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), states that if a party that 

requested an administrative review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review, the 

Secretary will rescind the review. 

Foshan Shunde timely filed a request 

withdrawing its request for an 

administrative review within the 90-day 

deadline, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1). Because Foshan Shunde 

was the only party to request an 

administrative review, we are partially 

rescinding this review of the 

antidumping duty order on ironing 

tables from the PRC covering the period 

August 1, 2005, through July 31, 2006, 

with respect to Foshan Shunde. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. For the company for 

which this review is rescinded, 

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). 

The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice. 

Notification of Interested Parties 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APOs) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. Timely written notification 

of the return/destruction of APO 

materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation that 

is subject to sanction. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751 and 777(i) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 

and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: January 12, 2006.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
