OMB via email to: OIRA_Submission@

omb.eop.gov or fax (202) 395–5806 and

Agricultural Marketing Service 

Title: Plan for Estimating Daily 

Livestock Slaughter under Federal 

Inspection. 

OMB Control Number: 0581–0050. 

Summary of Collection: The 

Agriculture Marketing Act of 1946 (7 

U.S.C. 1621–1627) Section 203(g), 

directs and authorizes the collection 

and dissemination of marketing 

information including adequate outlook 

information, on a market area basis, for 

the purpose of anticipating and meeting 

consumer requirements aiding in the 

maintenance of farm income and to 

bring about a balance between 

production and utilization. Livestock, 

Poultry, and Grain market news 

provides a timely exchange of accurate 

and unbiased information on current 

marketing conditions (supply, demand, 

prices, trends, movement, and other 

information) affecting trade in livestock, 

poultry, meats, eggs, grain, hay and 

wool. Administered by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture’s 

Agricultural marketing Service (AMS), 

this nationwide market news program is 

conducted in cooperation with 

approximately 28 State departments of 

agriculture. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

AMS will collect information on 

estimation of the current day’s slaughter 

at their plant(s) and the actual slaughter 

of the previous day. The report is used 

to make market outlook projections and 

maintain statistical data. The up-to-theminute reports collected and 

disseminated by professional market 

reporters are intended to provide both 

buyers and sellers with the information 

necessary for making intelligent, 

informed marketing decisions, thus 

putting everyone in the marketing 

system in an equal bargaining position. 

Since the government is a large 

purchaser of meat, a system to monitor 

the collection and reporting of data is 

needed. Collecting this information less 

frequently would hinder the timely use 

of this data. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; Individuals or 

households; Farms. 

Number of Respondents: 61. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting; 

Weekly; Other: Daily. 

Total Burden Hours: 528.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 

351.210(c), on October 14, 2014, the 

Department published affirmative final 

determinations of sales at less than fair 

value (LTFV) in the investigations of 

NOES from the PRC, Germany, Japan, 

Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan.1 On 

November 25, 2014, the ITC notified the 

Department of its affirmative 

determinations that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of 

LTFV imports of NOES from the PRC, 

Germany, Japan, Korea, Sweden, and 

Taiwan.2 In addition, the ITC notified 

the Department of its final 

determination that critical 

circumstances do not exist with respect 

to imports of subject merchandise from 

the PRC, Germany, Japan, and Sweden 

that are subject to the Department’s final 

affirmative critical circumstances 

findings.3

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise subject to these 

orders consists of non-oriented 

electrical steel (NOES), which includes 

cold-rolled, flat-rolled, alloy steel 

products, whether or not in coils, 

regardless of width, having an actual 

thickness of 0.20 mm or more, in which 

the core loss is substantially equal in 

any direction of magnetization in the 

plane of the material. The term 

‘‘substantially equal’’ means that the 

cross grain direction of core loss is no 

more than 1.5 times the straight grain 

direction (i.e., the rolling direction) of 

core loss. NOES has a magnetic 

permeability that does not exceed 1.65 

Tesla when tested at a field of 800 

A/m (equivalent to 10 Oersteds) along 

(i.e., parallel to) the rolling direction of 

the sheet (i.e., B800 value). NOES 

contains by weight more than 1.00 

percent of silicon but less than 3.5 

percent of silicon, not more than 0.08 

percent of carbon, and not more than 1.5 

percent of aluminum. NOES has a 

surface oxide coating, to which an 

insulation coating may be applied. 

NOES is subject to these orders 

whether it is fully processed (i.e., fully 

annealed to develop final magnetic 

properties) or semi-processed (i.e., 

finished to final thickness and physical 

form but not fully annealed to develop 

final magnetic properties). Fully 

processed NOES is typically made to the 

requirements of ASTM specification A 

677, Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) 

specification C 2552, and/or 

International Electrotechnical 

Commission (IEC) specification 60404– 

8–4. Semi-processed NOES is typically 

made to the requirements of ASTM 

specification A 683. However, the scope 

of these orders is not limited to 

merchandise meeting the ASTM, JIS, 

and IEC specifications noted 

immediately above. 

NOES is sometimes referred to as 

cold-rolled non-oriented (CRNO), nongrain oriented (NGO), non-oriented 

(NO), or cold-rolled non-grain oriented 

(CRNGO) electrical steel. These terms 

are interchangeable. 

Excluded from the scope of these 

orders are flat-rolled products not in 

coils that, prior to importation into the 

United States, have been cut to a shape 

and undergone all punching, coating, or 

other operations necessary for 

classification in Chapter 85 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) as a part (i.e., 

lamination) for use in a device such as 

a motor, generator, or transformer. 

The subject merchandise is provided 

for in subheadings 7225.19.0000, 

7226.19.1000, and 7226.19.9000 of the 

HTSUS. Subject merchandise may also 

be entered under subheadings 

7225.50.8085, 7225.99.0090, 

7226.92.5000, 7226.92.7050, 

7226.92.8050, 7226.99.0180 of the 

HTSUS. Although HTSUS subheadings
