SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The Census Bureau will conduct the

Annual Demographic Survey (ADS) in

conjunction with the March 1998

Current Population Survey (CPS). The

Census Bureau has conducted this

supplement annually for over 50 years.

The Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor

Statistics, and the Department of Health

and Human Services sponsor this

supplement.

In the ADS we collect information on

work experience, personal income,

noncash benefits, expanded race items

and migration.

The work experience items in the

ADS provide a unique measure of the

dynamic nature of the labor force as

viewed over a one-year period. These

items produce statistics that show

movements in and out of the labor force

by measuring the number of periods of

unemployment experienced by persons,

the number of different employers

worked for during the year, the

principal reasons for unemployment,

and part-/full-time attachment to the

labor force. We can make indirect

measurements of discouraged workers

and others with a casual attachment to

the labor market.

The income data from the ADS are

used by social planners, economists,

Government officials, and market

researchers to gauge the economic wellbeing of the Nation as a whole, and

selected population groups of interest.

Government planners and researchers

use these data to monitor and evaluate

the effectiveness of various assistance

programs. Market researchers use these

data to identify and isolate potential

customers. Social planners use these

data to forecast economic conditions

and to identify special groups that seem

to be especially sensitive to economic

fluctuations. Economists use March data

to determine the effects of various

economic forces, such as inflation,

recession, recovery, etc., and their

differential effects on various

population groups.

A prime statistic of interest is the

classification of persons as being in

poverty and how this measurement has

changed over time for various groups.

Researchers evaluate March income data

not only to determine poverty levels,

but also to determine whether

Government programs are reaching

eligible households.

The March 1998 supplement

instrument will consist of the same

items that were included in the March

1997 instrument, with the following

changes:

A. We are removing the Item Q49a1

screener from the instrument. Based on

the results of the March 1997 CPS, this

item unexpectedly reduced the amount

of ‘‘Other self-employment,’’ and ‘‘Other

farm’’ income.

B. We will remove references to ‘‘Aid

to Families With Dependent Children’’

and ‘‘Aid to Dependent Children’’ from

the instrument. This will be done due

to the recent welfare reform changes in

programs.

C. We are conducting research to

develop a few questions that will

address participation in new programs

generated by welfare reform.

D. We are adding a question to the

current migration series. This question

will ask the reasons for moving.

II. Method of Collection

The ADS is conducted at the same

time as the Basic CPS by personal visits

and telephone interviews, using

Computer-Assisted Personal

Interviewing and Computer-Assisted

Telephone Interviewing.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0607–0354.

Form Number: None. We conduct all

interviewing on computers.

Type of Review: Regular.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

52,000 per month.

Estimated Time Per Response: 25

minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 21,666.

are no costs to the respondents other

than their time to answer the CPS

questions.

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Legal Authority: Title 13, United

States Code, Section 182; and Title 29,

United States Code, Sections 1–9.

IV. Request for Comments

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

International Trade Administration

Determination Not to Revoke

Antidumping Duty Orders and

Findings Nor to Terminate Suspended

Investigations

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Determination not to revoke

antidumping duty orders and findings

nor to terminate suspended

investigations.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

is notifying the public of its

determination not to revoke the

antidumping duty orders and findings

nor to terminate the suspended

investigations listed below.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 13, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Michael Panfeld or the analyst listed

under Antidumping Proceeding at:

Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, U.S. Department

of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution

Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department of Commerce (the

Department) may revoke an

antidumping duty order or finding or

terminate a suspended investigation,

pursuant to 19 CFR § 353.25(d)(4)(iii), if

no interested party has requested an

administrative review for four

consecutive annual anniversary months

and no domestic interested party objects

to the revocation or requests an

administrative review.

We had not received a request to

conduct an administrative review for

the most recent four consecutive annual

anniversary months. Therefore,

pursuant to § 353.25(d)(4)(i) of the

Department’s regulations, on April 7,

1997, May 9, 1997, and June 17, 1997,

we published in the Federal Register a

notice of intent to revoke these

antidumping duty orders and findings

and to terminate the suspended

investigations and served written notice

of the intent to each domestic interested

party on the Department’s service list in

each case. Within the specified time

frame, we received objections from

domestic interested parties to our intent

to revoke these antidumping duty orders

and findings and to terminate the

suspended investigations. Therefore,

because domestic interested parties

objected to our intent to revoke or

terminate, we no longer intend to revoke

these antidumping duty orders and

findings or to terminate the suspended

investigations.
