Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 236 / Thursday, December 7, 2000 / Notices 76607

So far, Ohio, Texas, and New York

have provided the majority of funds for

the cooperative programs. Pennsylvania

and West Virginia do not have the

resources to contribute to this effort or

to conduct independent rabies control

programs. The total amount of funding

needed in FY 2000 to begin

reestablishing an adequate ORVP in

Texas and expanding existing ORVP’s in

the northeastern region of the United

States and in Ohio is estimated to be

$4.1 million ($0.4 million in New York,

$0.3 million in Ohio, $1.5 million in

Pennsylvania and West Virginia, $1.7

million in Texas, and $0.2 million in

Vermont).

APHIS has insufficient funds to

expand the ORVP in New York, Ohio,

Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, and

West Virginia. With additional funds,

APHIS can continue the ORVP in these

States, which is necessary to prevent the

spread of rabies.

Therefore, in accordance with the

provisions of the Act of September 25,

1981, as amended (7 U.S.C. 147b), I

declare that there is an emergency that

threatens the agricultural production

industry in the United States, and I

authorize the transfer and use of $4.1

million from the Commodity Credit

Corporation of the United States

Department of Agriculture for the

continuation of the ORVP.

Effective Date: This declaration of

emergency shall become effective November

3, 2000.

Dan Glickman,

Secretary of Agriculture.

Annual Surveys in the Manufacturing

Area

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census,

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of determination.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census

(Census Bureau) is conducting the 2000

Annual Surveys in the Manufacturing

Area. The 2000 Annual Surveys consist

of the Current Industrial Reports

surveys, the Annual Survey of

Manufactures, the Survey of Industrial

Research and Development, and the

Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization. We

have determined that annual data

collected from these surveys 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 these surveys, most of

which have been conducted for many

years, are not publicly available from

nongovernmental or other governmental

sources.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

William G. Bostic, Jr., Chief,

Manufacturing and Construction

Division, Census Bureau, on (301) 457–

4593.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Census Bureau is authorized to take

surveys necessary to furnish current

data on the subjects covered by the

major censuses authorized by Title 13,

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

61, 81, 182, 224, and 225. These surveys

will provide continuing and timely

national statistical data on

manufacturing for the period between

economic censuses. The next economic

censuses will be conducted for the year

2002. The data collected in these

surveys will be within the general scope

and nature of those inquiries covered in

the economic censuses.

Current Industrial Reports

Most of the following commodity or

product surveys provide data on

shipments or production, data on

stocks, unfilled orders, orders booked,

consumption, and so forth. Reports will

be required of all, or a sample of,

establishments engaged in the

production of the items covered by the

following list of surveys.

Annual Survey of Manufactures

The Annual Survey of Manufactures

collects industry statistics, such as total

76608 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 236 / Thursday, December 7, 2000 / Notices

value of shipments, employment,

payroll, workers’ hours, capital

expenditures, cost of materials

consumed, supplemental labor costs,

and so forth. This survey, while

conducted on a sample basis, covers all

manufacturing industries, including

data on plants under construction but

not yet in operation.

Survey of Industrial Research and

Development

The Survey of Industrial Research and

Development measures spending on

research and development activities in

private U.S. businesses. The Census

Bureau collects and compiles this

information with funding from the

National Science Foundation (NSF). The

NSF publishes the results in its

publication series. Four data items in

the survey provide interim statistics

collected in the Census Bureau’s

Economic Censuses. These items (total

company sales, total company

employment, and total expenditures and

Federally-funded expenditures for

research and development conducted

within the company) are collected on a

mandatory basis under the authority of

Title 13, U.S.C. Responses to all other

data collected for the NSF are voluntary.

Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization

The Survey of Plant Capacity

Utilization is designed to measure the

use of industrial capacity. The survey

collects information on actual output

and estimates of potential output in

terms of value of production. These data

are the basis for calculating rates of

utilization of full production capability

and use of production capability under

national emergency conditions.

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 2000

Annual Surveys under the following

OMB Control Numbers: Current

Industrial Reports—0607–0206, 0607–

0392, 0607–0393, 0607–0395, 0607–

0476, and 0607–0776; Annual Surveys

of Manufactures—0607–0449; Survey of

Industrial Research and Development—

3145–0027; and, Survey of Plant

Capacity Utilization—0607–0175. We

will provide copies of the form upon

written request to the Director, Census

Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–0001.

Based upon the foregoing, I have

directed that the Annual Surveys in the

Manufacturing Area be conducted for

the purpose of collecting these data.

Dated: December 1, 2000.

The Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act), are references to the

part 351 (1999).

Background

On August 8, 2000, the Department

published the preliminary results of the

administrative review (65 FR 48464) of

the antidumping duty order on fresh

garlic from the People’s Republic of

China (the PRC) (59 FR 59209,

November 16, 1994). We invited parties

to comment on our preliminary results.

We received no comments and have

made no changes to our preliminary

results for the final results of review.

We have conducted this

administrative review in accordance

with section 751 of the Act and 19 CFR

351.213.

Scope of Review

The products subject to this

antidumping duty administrative review

are all grades of garlic, whole or

separated into constituent cloves,

whether or not peeled, fresh, chilled,

frozen, provisionally preserved, or

packed in water or other neutral

substance, but not prepared or

preserved by the addition of other

ingredients or heat processing. The

differences between grades are based on

color, size, sheathing, and level of

decay.

The scope of this order does not

include the following: (a) Garlic that has

been mechanically harvested and that is

primarily, but not exclusively, destined

for non-fresh use; or (b) garlic that has

been specially prepared and cultivated

prior to planting and then harvested and

otherwise prepared for use as seed.

The subject merchandise is used

principally as a food product and for

seasoning. The subject garlic is

currently classifiable under subheadings

0703.20.0010, 0703.20.0020,

0703.20.0090, 0710.80.7060,

0710.80.9750, 0711.90.6000, and

2005.90.9700 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

Although the HTSUS subheadings are

provided for convenience and customs

purposes, our written description of the

scope of this proceeding is dispositive.

In order to be excluded from the

antidumping duty order, garlic entered

under the HTSUS subheadings listed

above that is (1) mechanically harvested

and primarily, but not exclusively,

destined for non-fresh use or (2)

specially prepared and cultivated prior

to planting and then harvested and

otherwise prepared for use as seed must

be accompanied by declarations to the

Customs Service to that effect.
