Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 4, 2012 / Notices 20355 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to continue 

the current OMB clearance for the 

Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity 

Utilization (QPC). The QPC is 

conducted quarterly, collecting from 

manufacturing plants and publishers, 

the value of actual production, the value 

of production that could have been 

achieved if operating at ‘‘full 

production’’ levels, and the value of 

production that could have been 

achieved if operating at ‘‘national 

emergency’’ levels. The survey also 

collects data on work patterns by shift. 

These data include hours in operation, 

production workers, and plant hours 

worked. 

The primary users of these data will 

be the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and 

the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). 

The FRB will use these data in several 

ways. First, the capital workweek data 

will be used as an indicator of capital 

use in the estimation of monthly output 

(industrial production). Second, the 

workweek data will be used to improve 

the projections of labor productivity that 

are used to align industrial production 

(IP) with comprehensive benchmark 

information in the Economic Census, 

Manufacturing and Annual Survey of 

Manufactures. Third, the utilization rate 

data will assist in the assessment of 

recent changes in IP, as most of the 

high-frequency movement in utilization 

rates reflect production changes rather 

than capacity changes. The DLA will 

use these data to assess readiness to 

meet demand for goods under selected 

national emergency scenarios. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Census Bureau will use the mail 

out/mail back survey forms to collect 

the data. We also offer an electronic 

version of the form for reporting via the 

Internet. Companies will be asked to 

respond within 20 days of the initial 

mailing. This due date will be imprinted 

at the top of the form. Letters 

encouraging participation will be 

mailed to companies that have not 

responded by the designated time. 

Subsequent to the letter, we will 

conduct a telephone follow-up.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The mission of the Economic 

Development Administration (EDA) is 

to lead the Federal economic agenda by

economic development assistance 

programs, EDA collects certain 

information from applications for, and

assistance. A recipient must submit a 

written request to EDA to amend an 

investment award and provide such 

information and documentation as EDA 

deems necessary to determine the merit 

of altering the terms of an award (see 13 

CFR 302.7(a) of EDA’s regulations). EDA 

may require a recipient to submit a 

project service map and information 

from which to determine whether 

services are provided to all segments of 

the region being assisted (see CFR

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 26–2012] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 277—Western 

Maricopa County, AZ; Application for 

Manufacturing Authority; Suntech 

Arizona, Inc., (Solar Panel 

Manufacturing), Goodyear, AZ 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the Greater Maricopa Foreign 

Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 277, 

requesting manufacturing authority on 

behalf of Suntech Arizona, Inc. 

(Suntech), located in Goodyear, 

Arizona. The application was submitted 

pursuant to the provisions of the 

Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended 

(19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations 

of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was 

formally filed on March 27, 2012. 

The Suntech facility (100 employees, 

117,000 square feet, 50 megawatt annual 

capacity) is located within Site 5 of FTZ 

277. The facility is used for the 

manufacture of 275 and 290 watt solar 

panels for industrial use. Components 

and materials sourced from abroad 

(representing 80% of the value of the 

finished product) include: Junction 

boxes, silicone sealant, putty/caulking 

compounds, plastic sheets, glass, tincoated copper strips, aluminum frames, 

insulation strips, and copper bars (duty 

rate ranges from duty-free to 5.3%). 

FTZ procedures could exempt 

Suntech from customs duty payments 

on the foreign components used in 

export production. The company has no 

current exports, but has indicated that it 

may export in the future. On its 

domestic sales, Suntech would be able 

to choose the duty rates during customs 

entry procedures that apply to solar 

panels (duty-free) for the foreign inputs 

noted above. Suntech would also be 

exempt from duty payments on any of 

these foreign inputs that become scrap 

or waste during manufacturing. FTZ 

designation would further allow 

Suntech to realize logistical benefits 

through certain customs procedures. 

Customs duties also could possibly be 

deferred or reduced on foreign-status 

production equipment. The request 

indicates that the savings from FTZ 

procedures would help improve the 

plant’s international competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Diane Finver of the FTZ 

Staff is designated examiner to evaluate 

and analyze the facts and information 

presented in the application and case 

record and to report findings and 

recommendations to the Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions (original 

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 

Board’s Executive Secretary at the 

address below. The closing period for 

their receipt is June 4, 2012. Rebuttal 

comments in response to material 

submitted during the foregoing period 

may be submitted during the subsequent 

15-day period to June 18, 2012. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20230–0002, and in the ‘‘Reading 

Room’’ section of the Board’s Web site, 

which is accessible via www.trade.gov/
