is the only agency responsible for 

collecting data on livestock health. 

Participation in any NAHMS study is 

voluntary, and all data are confidential. 

APHIS plans to conduct the Goat 2019 

Study as part of an ongoing series of 

NAHMS studies on the U.S. livestock 

population. The purpose of the study is 

to collect information to describe 

changes in animal health, nutrition, and 

management practices in the U.S. goat 

industry from 2009–2019; describe 

practices producers use to control 

internal parasites and reduce 

anthelmintic resistance; describe 

antimicrobial stewardship on goat 

operations and provide information on 

the prevalence of enteric pathogens and 

antimicrobial resistance patterns; 

describe management practices 

associated with, and producer-reported 

occurrence of, economically important 

goat diseases; and provide a serologic 

bank to meet the future research needs 

of the goat industry. 

The study will consist of two phases. 

In Phase I, a National Agricultural 

Statistics Service (NASS) enumerator 

will contact and conduct interviews 

with goat producers from 26 States who 

have 5 or more goats. These respondents 

will be asked to sign a consent form 

allowing NASS to present their names 

to APHIS-designated data collectors for 

further consideration in the study. In 

Phase II, which we consider the APHIS 

phase, the respondents will complete 

the producer agreement and up to three 

on-farm questionnaires. In addition, 

biologic sampling will be available to 

selected participants that complete the 

initial visit questionnaire. 

The information collected through the 

Goat 2019 Study will be analyzed and 

organized into descriptive reports. 

Several information sheets will be 

derived from these reports and 

disseminated by APHIS to producers, 

stakeholders, academia, veterinarians, 

and other interested parties. The 

collected data will be used to establish 

national and regional production 

measures for producer, veterinary, and 

industry references; predict or detect 

national and regional trends in disease 

emergence and movement; address 

emerging issues; examine the economic 

impact of health management practices; 

provide estimates of both outcome 

(disease or other parameters) and 

exposure (risks and components) 

variables that can be used in analytic 

studies in the future by APHIS; provide 

input into the design of surveillance 

systems for specific diseases; and 

provide parameters for animal disease 

spread models. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for 3 years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 0.51 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Goat producers from 26 

States who have 5 or more goats. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 4,770. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 4. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 17,668. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 8,947 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce initiated an administrative 

review of the CVD order on wind towers 

from China with respect to 56 

companies for the period January 1, 

2016, through December 31, 2016,1

based on a request by the petitioner.2

On May 31, 2017, the petitioner timely 

withdrew its request for an 

administrative review of all 56 

companies.3 No other party requested a 

review. 

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review in whole or in 

part, if the party that requested a review 

withdraws its request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. In 

this case, the petitioner withdrew its 

request for review within the 90-day 

deadline, and no other party requested

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

CVDs on all entries of wind towers from 

China during the period January 1, 

2016, through December 31, 2016, at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated CVDs required at the time of 

entry, or withdrawal from warehouse,
