SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Annual Services Report (ASR), 

previously named Service Annual 

Survey (SAS), produces annual 

nationwide estimates of revenue and 

expenses for service industries. These 

service industries include all or portions 

of the following North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

sectors: Utilities (NAICS 22); 

Transportation and Warehousing 

(NAICS 48 and 49); Information (NAICS 

51); Finance and Insurance (NAICS 52); 

Real Estate and Rental and Leasing 

(NAICS 53); Professional, Scientific and 

Technical Services (NAICS 54); 

Administrative and Support and Waste 

Management and Remediation Services 

(NAICS 56); Educational Services 

(NAICS 61); Health Care and Social 

Assistance (NAICS 62); Arts, 

Entertainment, and Recreation (NAICS 

71); and Other Services (NAICS 81). 

For selected industries in Utilities; 

Transportation; Finance; Information; 

Professional, Scientific and Technical 

Services; Administrative Support and 

Waste Management and Remediation 

Services; and Educational Services, ASR 

produces estimates of revenue by 

detailed North American Product 

Classification System (NAPCS) 

products. Inventory estimates for 

selected industries in the Transportation 

and Information sectors are produced, 

as well as estimates of expanded 

revenues for selected industries across 

multiple sectors. For industries with a 

significant non-profit component, 

separate estimates are developed for 

taxable firms and organizations exempt 

from federal income tax. 

These data are needed to provide a 

sound statistical basis for the formation 

of policy by various governmental 

agencies. The Census Bureau is 

authorized by Title 13, United States 

Code, to conduct surveys necessary to 

furnish current data on subjects covered 

by the major censuses. These surveys 

provide continuing and timely national 

statistical data for the period between 

economic censuses. 

The Bureau of Economic Analysis, the 

primary Federal user of these annual 

program statistics, uses the information 

in developing the national income and 

product accounts, compiling benchmark 

and annual input-output tables, and 

computing Gross Domestic Product by 

industry. The Bureau of Labor Statistics 

uses the data as inputs to its Producer 

Price Indexes and in developing 

productivity measurements. The Centers 

for Medicare and Medicaid Services use 

the data in the development of the 

National Health Expenditure Accounts. 

The Federal Communications 

Commission uses the data as a means 

for assessing FCC policy. The Coalition 

of Service Industries uses the data for 

general research and planning. Trade 

and professional organizations uses the 

data to analyze industry trends and 

benchmark their own statistical 

programs, develop forecasts, and 

evaluate regulatory requirements. The 

media uses the data for news reports 

and background information. Private 

businesses use the data to measure 

market share; analyze business 

potential; and plan investment 

decisions. The Census Bureau uses the 

data to provide new insight into 

changing structural and cost conditions 

that will impact the planning and 

design of future economic census 

questionnaires. Private industry also 

uses the data as a tool for marketing 

analysis. 

Data are collected from all of the 

largest firms and from a sample of 

small- and medium-sized businesses 

selected using a stratified sampling 

procedure. The samples are reselected 

periodically, generally at 5-year 

intervals. The largest firms continue to 

be canvassed when the sample is redrawn, while nearly all of the smalland medium-sized firms from the prior 

sample are replaced. We collect these 

data by using a mail-out/mail-back and 

online survey questionnaire. 

II. Method of Collection 

We collect this information by mail, 

Internet, fax, and telephone follow-up.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 04–2012] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 230—Piedmont 

Triad Area, NC; Application for 

Reorganization Under Alternative Site 

Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by the Piedmont Triad 

Partnership, grantee of FTZ 230, 

requesting authority to reorganize the 

zone under the alternative site 

framework (ASF) adopted by the Board 

(74 FR 1170, 1/12/09 (correction 74 FR 

3987, 1/22/09); 75 FR 71069–71070, 11/ 

22/10). The ASF is an option for 

grantees for the establishment or 

reorganization of general-purpose zones 

and can permit significantly greater 

flexibility in the designation of new 

‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/ 

users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service 

area’’ in the context of the Board’s 

standard 2,000-acre activation limit for 

a general-purpose zone project. The 

application was submitted pursuant to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the 

regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 2012 / Notices 2699 

400). It was formally filed on January 

11, 2012. 

FTZ 230 was approved by the Board 

on March 11, 1998 (Board Order 956, 63 

FR 13836–13837, 3/23/98) and 

expanded on June 21, 2007 (Board 

Order 1514, 72 FR 35968, 07/02/07).

112-acre Piedmont Corporate Park,

Premier Center located at NC Highway 

68 and Premier Drive, High Point

total, 4 parcels, sunset 6/30/12)—within 

the 1,100-acre Piedmont Centre Park in

located at 4487 Premier Drive; Site 12 (4 

acres, sunset 6/30/12)—TST Logistics

Truell Lane, Thomasville (Davidson 

County); and Site 15 (36 acres)—Union 

Cross Business Park, 140 and 390 

Business Park Drive, Winston-Salem 

(Forsyth County). 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be Alamance, 

Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, 

Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph, 

Rockingham, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin 

Counties, as described in the 

application. If approved, the grantee 

would be able to serve sites throughout 

the service area based on companies’ 

needs for FTZ designation. The 

proposed service area is within/adjacent 

to the Winston-Salem Customs and 

Border Protection port of entry. 

The applicant is requesting authority 

to reorganize its existing zone project 

under the ASF as follows: To renumber 

parcel 2 of Site 2 as Site 16; to renumber 

parcel 3 of Site 2 as Site 17; to renumber 

parcel 2 of Site 3 as Site 18; to renumber 

parcel 2 of Site 8 as Site 19; to renumber 

parcel A of Site 11 as Site 20; to 

renumber parcel C of Site 11 as Site 21; 

and to renumber parcel D of Site 11 as 

Site 22. Sites 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 

11, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21 and 22 would 

become magnet sites, and Sites 8, 12, 13, 

14, 15 and 19 would become usagedriven sites. 

The ASF allows for the possible 

exemption of one magnet site from the 

‘‘sunset’’ time limits that generally 

apply to sites under the ASF, and the 

applicant proposes that modified 

magnet Site 2 would be so exempted. 

Because the ASF only pertains to 

establishing or reorganizing a generalpurpose zone, the application would 

have no impact on FTZ 230’s authorized 

subzones. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Kathleen Boyce 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.

interested parties. Submissions (original 

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 

Board’s Executive Secretary at the

their receipt is March 19, 2012. Rebuttal 

comments in response to material 

submitted during the foregoing period
