Additions

The following comments pertain to

Mailroom Operation/Messenger Service,

Peace Corps, Washington, DC:

Comments were received from the

current contractor for this mail

operations service. The contractor stated

that its staff providing this service are

local minority persons, most of whom

are the sole support of their families.

The contractor indicated that these

persons would probably be laid off, as

the contractor is uncertain it can replace

the work being lost. The contractor also

indicated that this service and two other

contracts expiring this year represent a

significant portion of its business.

According to information the

contractor gave the Committee, the

portion of its total sales represented by

this service does not reach a percentage

which the Committee would consider to

constitute severe adverse impact on a

contractor. The contractor has not

provided any information which would

indicate, particularly in the current

good economy, that the uncertainty of

its ability to replace other contracts

expiring this year should cause the

Committee to give more weight to the

impact this Procurement List addition

will have on the contractor.

Consequently, the Committee does not

believe this addition will have a severe

adverse impact on the contractor.

The nonprofit agency which will

perform this service plans to retain

approximately half the contractor’s

current work force. The nonprofit

agency also plans to employ more

workers with severe disabilities than

contractor workers that will be

displaced. Because the unemployment

rate for people with severe disabilities

remains far above that of the workers

being displaced, the Committee believes

the contractor workers are more likely to

find other employment than the people

with severe disabilities would find if

this service were not added to the

Procurement List.

The following material pertains to all

of the items being added to the

Procurement List: After consideration of

the material presented to it concerning

capability of qualified nonprofit

agencies to provide the services and

impact of the additions on the current

or most recent contractors, the

Committee has determined that the

services listed below are suitable for

procurement by the Federal Government

under 41 U.S.C. 46–48c and 41 CFR 51–

2.4. I certify that the following action

will not have a significant impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

The major factors considered for this

certification were:

1. The action will not result in any

additional reporting, recordkeeping or

other compliance requirements for small

entities other than the small

organizations that will furnish the

services to the Government.

2. The action will not have a severe

economic impact on current contractors

for the services.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

services to the Government.

4. There are no known regulatory

alternatives which would accomplish

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in

connection with the services proposed

for addition to the Procurement List.

Accordingly, the following services

are hereby added to the Procurement

List:

Services

Mailroom Operation/Messenger Service

U.S. Peace Corps Headquarters, 1111

20th Street, NW, Washington, DC

Mailroom Operation

New Orleans Strategic Petroleum

Reserve (SPR) Site, New Orleans,

Louisiana

Switchboard Operation

Department of Justice, FBI Academy,

Quantico, Virginia

This action does not affect current

contracts awarded prior to the effective

date of this addition or options that may

be exercised under those contracts.

2000 Company Organization Survey

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census,

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Determination.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Census Bureau is

conducting the 2000 Company

Organization Survey. The survey’s data

are needed, in part, to update the

multiestablishment companies in the

Business Register. The survey, which

has been conducted annually since

1974, is designed to collect information

on the number of employees, payroll,

geographic location, current operational

status, and kind of business for the

establishments of multilocation

companies. We have determined that

annual data collected from this survey

are needed to aid the efficient

performance of essential governmental

functions and have significant

application to the needs of the public

and industry. The data derived from this

survey are not available from any other

source.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul

Hanczaryk, Economic Planning and

Coordination Division, U.S. Census

Bureau, Room 2747, Federal Building 3,

Washington, DC 20233–6100, telephone

(301) 457–4058.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 13,

United States Code (U.S.C.), Sections

182, 195, 224, and 225, authorize the

Census Bureau to undertake surveys

necessary to furnish current data on the

subjects covered by the major censuses.

This survey will provide continuing and

timely national statistical data for the

period between economic censuses. The

next economic censuses will be

conducted for the year 2002. The data

collected in this survey will be within

the general scope, type, and character of

those that are covered in the economic

censuses.

Notwithstanding any other provision

of law, no person is required to respond

to, nor shall a person be subject to a

penalty for failure to comply with, a

collection of information subject to the

requirements of the Paperwork

Reduction Act (PRA) unless that

collection of information displays a

current valid Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) control number. In

accordance with the PRA, 44 U.S.C.,

Chapter 35, the OMB approved the

survey on November 3, 1999, under

OMB control Number 0607–0444. We

will furnish report forms to

organizations included in the survey,

and additional copies are available on

written request to the Director, U.S.

Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–

0101.

I have, therefore, directed that the

2000 Company Organization Survey be

conducted for the purpose of collecting

these data.

Dated: November 3, 2000.

Antidumping Duty Order, Correction

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Correction to

Continuation of Antidumping Duty

Order: Pure Magnesium from the

People’s Republic of China.

SUMMARY: On October 27, 2000, the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’), published in the Federal

Register the continuation of the

antidumping duty order on pure

magnesium from the People’s Republic

of China.1 Subsequent to the publication

of the continuation of the antidumping

duty order, we identified an error in the

‘‘Determination’’ section of the notice.

Therefore, we are correcting this error.

The error lies in the last sentence of

the last paragraph of the determination

section: ‘‘Pursuant to section 751(c)(2)

and 751(c)(6) of the Act, the Department

intends to initiate the next five-year

review of this order not later than April

2005.’’ The sentence should be replaced

with ‘‘Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) and

751(c)(6) of the Act, the Department

intends to initiate the next five-year

review of this order not later than

September 2005.’’
