AGENCY: U.S. Census Bureau,

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Commerce, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on 

proposed and/or continuing information 

collections, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, written 

comments must be submitted on or 

before October 29, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

to Jennifer Jessup, Departmental 

Paperwork Clearance Officer, 

Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 

14th and Constitution Avenue NW, 

Washington, DC 20230 (or via the 

internet at docpra@doc.gov). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument(s) and instructions should 

be directed to Erica M. Filipek, U.S. 

Census Bureau, EID, CENHQ Room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request 

an extension of a currently approved 

collection for forms C–700, C–700(R), 

C–700(SL), and C–700(F). These forms 

are used to conduct the Construction 

Progress Reporting Surveys (CPRS) and 

collect information on the dollar value 

of construction put in place. Form C– 

700 is for nonresidential projects owned 

by private companies or individuals. 

Form C–700(R) is for private 

multifamily residential buildings. Form 

C–700(SL) is for state and local 

government projects. Form C–700(F) is 

for federal government projects. 

The Census Bureau uses the 

information from these surveys to 

publish the value of construction put in 

place for the monthly ‘Construction 

Spending’ principal economic indicator. 

Published estimates are used by a 

variety of private businesses and trade 

associations to estimate the demand for 

building materials and to schedule 

production, distribution, and sales 

efforts. They also provide various 

government agencies with a tool to 

evaluate economic policy. For example, 

Bureau of Economic Analysis staff use 

data to develop the construction 

components of gross private domestic 

investment in the gross domestic 

product. The Federal Reserve Board and 

the Department of the Treasury use the 

value in place data to predict the gross 

domestic product, which is presented to 

the Board of Governors and has an 

impact on monetary policy. 

There are currently no planned 

content changes to the questionnaires. 

However, beginning with the September 

2018 reference period, the Census 

Bureau will begin mailing redesigned 

survey forms. They were previously 

printed on a single legal page, and will 

now be in booklet form. Additionally, 

the contact information will now be 

requested on the front page of the 

booklet rather than on the back page, 

and the numbering scheme will reflect 

this rearrangement of questions. 

II. Method of Collection 

An independent systematic sample of 

construction projects is selected each 

month according to predetermined 

sample rates. Once a project is selected, 

it remains in the sample until 

completion. The Census Bureau mails 

preprinted survey forms monthly to 

respondents to fill in current month 

data and any revisions to previous 

months. Respondents have the option to 

report online or mail the forms back. If 

respondents do not return the form or 

respond online, Census interviewers 

will contact them by phone to schedule 

a phone interview to collect the data. 

Interviews are scheduled at the 

convenience of the respondent. We 

request that respondents have their 

information available from an internal 

database at the time of the interview, 

which greatly reduces the time they 

spend on the phone during these 

interviews. After the preliminary 

mailing, if a respondent consistently 

reports electronically, the respondent 

will begin receiving email notifications 

and reminders to complete the online 

survey, and the Census Bureau will 

cease mailing them paper forms. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0153. 

Form Number(s): C–700, C–700(R), C– 

700(SL), C–700(F). 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Individuals, 

Businesses or Other for Profit, Not-forProfit Institutions, Small Businesses or 

Organizations, State and Local 

Governments and the Federal 

Government.

Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Continuation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders on drawn stainless steel sinks 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(China) would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies and 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States, Commerce is publishing 

a notice of continuation of the AD and 

CVD orders. 

DATES: Applicable August 28, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joshua Tucker at (202) 482–2044, AD/ 

CVD Operations, Enforcement and 

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20230. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In March 2018, Commerce 1 and the 

ITC instituted 2 five-year (sunset) 

reviews of the AD and CVD orders on 

drawn stainless steel sinks from China, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As 

a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the AD 

order on drawn stainless steel sinks 

from China would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping,3

and that revocation of the CVD order 

would likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of countervailable 

subsidies.4 Commerce, therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins of dumping and net 

countervailable subsidy rates likely to 

prevail were the AD and CVD orders 

revoked.5

On August 20, 2018, the ITC 

published its determinations, pursuant 

to sections 751(c) and 752 of the Act, 

that revocation of the AD and CVD 

orders on drawn stainless steel sinks 

from China would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.6

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

orders includes drawn stainless steel 

sinks with single or multiple drawn 

bowls, with or without drain boards, 

whether finished or unfinished, 

regardless of type of finish, gauge, or 

grade of stainless steel. Mounting clips, 

fasteners, seals, and sound-deadening 

pads are also covered by the scope of 

this order if they are included within 

the sales price of the drawn stainless 

steel sinks.7 For purposes of this scope 

definition, the term ‘‘drawn’’ refers to a 

manufacturing process using metal 

forming technology to produce a smooth 

basin with seamless, smooth, and 

rounded corners. Drawn stainless steel 

sinks are available in various shapes 

and configurations and may be 

described in a number of ways 

including flush mount, top mount, or 

undermount (to indicate the attachment 

relative to the countertop). Stainless 

steel sinks with multiple drawn bowls 

that are joined through a welding 

operation to form one unit are covered 

by the scope of the order. Drawn 

stainless steel sinks are covered by the 

scope of the orders whether or not they 

are sold in conjunction with non-subject 

accessories such as faucets (whether 

attached or unattached), strainers, 

strainer sets, rinsing baskets, bottom 

grids, or other accessories. 

Excluded from the scope of the orders 

are stainless steel sinks with fabricated 

bowls. Fabricated bowls do not have 

seamless corners, but rather are made by 

notching and bending the stainless steel, 

and then welding and finishing the 

vertical corners to form the bowls. 

Stainless steel sinks with fabricated 

bowls may sometimes be referred to as 

‘‘zero radius’’ or ‘‘near zero radius’’
