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: Office of the Chief 

Information Officer, Office of the 

Secretary, Commerce. 

Title: The Research Performance 

Progress Report. 

OMB Control Number: 0690–0032. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,550. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 12,750. 

Needs and Uses: The development of 

the Research Performance Progress 

Report (RPPR) resulted from an 

initiative of the Research Business 

Models (RBM), an Interagency Working 

Group of the Social, Behavioral & 

Economic Research, Subcommittee of 

the Committee on Science (CoS), a 

committee of the National Science and 

Technology Council (NSTC). One of the 

RBM Subcommittee’s priority areas was 

to create greater consistency in the 

administration of Federal research 

awards. Given the increasing 

complexity of interdisciplinary and 

interagency research, it is important for 

Federal agencies to manage awards in a 

similar fashion. The RPPR is an OMB 

approved uniform format to be used by 

Federal agencies in submission of 

progress reports that support research 

and research-related activities. It is 

intended to replace other performance 

reporting formats currently in use by 

Federal agencies. However, the RPPR 

does not change the performance 

reporting requirements specified in 2 

CFR 200. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit 

organizations; Not-for-profit 

institutions; State, Local, or Tribal 

government; Federal government. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: The Federal 

Financial Assistance Management 

Improvement Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106– 

107), and 2 CFR 200.328. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–39–2018] 

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 106— 

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Notification 

of Proposed Production Activity; 

Eastman Kodak Company (Printing 

Flexographic Plates); Weatherford, 

Oklahoma 

Eastman Kodak Company (Eastman 

Kodak) submitted a notification of 

proposed production activity to the FTZ 

Board for its facility in Weatherford, 

Oklahoma. The notification conforming 

to the requirements of the regulations of 

the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 

received on June 13, 2018. 

Eastman Kodak already has authority 

to produce flexographic finished plates, 

aluminum finished printing plates, 

thermo imaging layer, direct imaging 

recording film sheets, and direct 

imaging record film rolls within 

Subzone 106F. The current request 

would add foreign status materials/ 

components to the scope of authority. 

Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), 

additional FTZ authority would be 

limited to the specific foreign-status 

materials/components described in the 

submitted notification (as described 

below) and subsequently authorized by 

the FTZ Board. 

Production under FTZ procedures 

could exempt Eastman Kodak from 

customs duty payments on the foreignstatus materials/components used in 

export production. On its domestic 

sales, for the foreign-status materials/ 

components noted below, Eastman 

Kodak would be able to choose the duty 

rates during customs entry procedures 

that apply to finished products in the 

existing scope of authority. Eastman 

Kodak would be able to avoid duty on 

foreign-status components which 

become scrap/waste. Customs duties 

also could possibly be deferred or 

reduced on foreign-status production 

equipment. 

The materials/components sourced 

from abroad include non-aromatic esters 

of amino-acids, propylene oxidemodified trimethylol propane triacrylate 

and foamed polyethylene resin sheet 

(packaging material used between 

plates) (duty rates range from 3% to 

6.5%). 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the Board’s Executive 

Secretary at the address below. The 

closing period for their receipt is August 

6, 2018. 

A copy of the notification will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 

21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

1401 Constitution Avenue NW, 

Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the 

‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s 

website, which is accessible via 

www.trade.gov/ftz.
