CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD 

INVESTIGATION BOARD 

Sunshine Act Meeting 

In connection with its investigation 

into an explosion and fire that occurred 

at the Bayer CropScience facility in 

Institute, West Virginia, on August 28, 

2008, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board 

(CSB) announces that it will hold a 

public meeting on January 20, 2011, in 

Institute, West Virginia, to present the 

findings from its investigation of the 

explosion that fatally injured two 

workers. 

The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at 

the West Virginia State University 

Wilson Building, Multipurpose Room, 

103 University Union, Institute, WV, 

25112. The meeting is free and open to 

the public. Pre-registration is not 

required, but to assure adequate seating, 

attendees are encouraged to pre-register 

by emailing their names and affiliations 

to publicmeeting@csb.gov by January 

15th. 

At the meeting CSB staff will present 

to the Board the results of their 

investigation into this incident. Key 

issues involved in the investigation 

concern process hazards analysis and 

pre-startup safety review; operating 

procedures, operator training, 

emergency planning and response. 

Following the presentation of the CSB’s 

findings and safety recommendations, a 

panel of outside witnesses will be 

invited to speak on a number of issues 

related to the investigation findings and 

the board’s recommendations. This will 

then be followed by a public comment 

period prior to a Board vote on the 

report. 

Following the staff presentation, 

panel comments, and the conclusion of 

the public comment period, the Board 

will consider whether to approve the 

final report and recommendations. All 

staff presentations are preliminary and 

are intended solely to allow the Board 

to consider in a public forum the issues 

and factors involved in this case. No 

factual analyses, conclusions or findings 

presented by staff should be considered 

final. Only after the Board has 

considered the final staff presentation, 

listened to the witnesses and the public 

comments and approved the staff report 

will there be an approved final record 

of this incident. 

Please notify CSB if a translator or 

interpreter is needed, at least 5 business 

days prior to the public meeting. For

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Monthly Retail Trade Survey 

provides estimates of monthly retail 

sales, end-of-month merchandise 

inventories, and quarterly e-commerce 

sales of retailers in the United States by 

selected kinds of business. Also, it 

provides monthly sales of food service 

establishments. The Bureau of 

Economic Analysis (BEA) uses this 

information to prepare the National 

Income and Products Accounts and to 

benchmark the annual input-output 

tables. Statistics provided from the 

Monthly Retail Trade Survey are used to 

calculate the gross domestic product 

(GDP). 

Estimates produced from the Monthly 

Retail Trade Survey are based on a 

probability sample. The sample design 

consists of one fixed panel where all 

cases are requested to report sales, ecommerce sales, and/or inventories each 

month. The sample, consisting of about 

12,000 retail businesses, is drawn from 

the Business Register, which contains 

all Employer Identification Numbers 

(EINs) and listed establishment 

locations. The sample is updated 

quarterly to reflect employer business 

‘‘births’’ and ‘‘deaths’’; adding new 

employer businesses identified in the 

Business and Professional Classification 

Survey and deleting firms and EINs 

when it is determined they are no longer 

active.

form numbers and a description of each
