Census Bureau 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; Construction Progress 

Reporting Surveys 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on July 16, 

2024 during a 60-day comment period. 

This notice allows for an additional 30 

days for public comments. 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, 

Department of Commerce. 

Title: Construction Progress Reporting 

Surveys. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0153. 

Form Number(s): C–700, C–700R, C– 

700SL, C–700F. 

Type of Request: Regular submission, 

Request for an Extension, without 

Change, of a Currently Approved 

Collection. 

Number of Respondents: 22,000 

respondents report monthly over the 

duration of the construction project (an 

average of 12 months). 

Average Hours per Response: 30 

minutes for month 1; 10 minutes for 

months 2 through 12. 

Burden Hours: 51,333. 

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census 

Bureau is requesting an extension of a 

currently approved collection for forms: 

C–700, for Private Construction Projects; 

C–700(R), for Multifamily Residential 

Projects; C–700(SL), for State and Local 

Governments Projects; and C–700(F), for 

Federal Government Projects. 

These forms are used to conduct the 

Construction Progress Reporting 

Surveys (CPRS) which collect 

information on the dollar value of 

construction put in place on nonresidential building projects under 

construction by private companies or 

individuals, private multifamily 

residential buildings, and building 

projects under construction by federal 

and state and local governments. 

The Census Bureau uses the 

information collected on these forms to 

publish estimates of the monthly dollar 

value of construction put in place. 

Statistics from the CPRS become part of 

the monthly ‘‘Value of Construction Put 

in Place’’ or ‘‘Construction Spending’’ 

series, a Principal Economic Indicator 

that is used extensively by the federal 

government in making policy decisions 

and is used by the Bureau of Economic 

Analysis (BEA) to estimate the gross 

domestic product (GDP). The private 

sector uses the statistics for market 

analysis and other research. 

Construction now accounts for 7.4 

percent of GDP. 

Published estimates are used by a 

variety of private business and trade 

associations to estimate the demand for 

building materials and to schedule 

production, distribution, and sales 

efforts. They also provide various 

government agencies with a tool to 

evaluate economic policy. For example, 

Bureau of Economic Analysis staff use 

data to develop the construction 

components of gross private domestic 

investment in the gross domestic 

product. The Federal Reserve Board and 

the Department of the Treasury use the 

value put in place data to predict the 

gross domestic product, which is 

presented to the Board of Governors and 

has an impact on monetary policy. 

Frequency: Monthly. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., 

Sections 131 and 182. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. 

Follow the instructions to view the 

Department of Commerce collections 

currently under review by OMB. 

Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be 

submitted within 30 days of the 

publication of this notice on the 

following website www.reginfo.gov/ 

public/do/PRAMain. Find this 

particular information collection by 

selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day 

Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or

Certain Steel Wheels From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty and 

Countervailing Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders on certain steel wheels (steel 

wheels) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China) would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, Commerce is publishing a notice 

of continuation of these AD and CVD 

orders. 

DATES: Applicable November 6, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 24, 2019, Commerce 

published the AD and CVD orders on 

steel wheels from China.1 On April 1, 

2024, the ITC instituted,2 and 

Commerce initiated,3 the second sunset 

review of the Orders, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act). As a result of its 

reviews, Commerce determined that 

revocation of the Orders would likely 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and/or countervailable 

subsidies, and therefore, notified the 

ITC of the magnitude of the margins of 

dumping and net countervailable 

subsidy rates likely to prevail should 

the Orders be revoked.4

FR 65314, (August 9, 2024); see also Certain Steel 

Wheels from the People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Expedited Sunset Review of the 

Countervailing Duty Order, 89 FR 65319 (August 9, 

2024). 

5See Steel Wheels from China; Determinations, 

89 FR 88061 (November 6, 2024). 

On November 6, 2024, the ITC 

published its determination pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States within a 

reasonably foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The scope of the Orders covers certain 

on the road steel wheels, discs, and rims 

for tubeless tires, with a nominal rim 

diameter of 22.5 inches and 24.5 inches, 

regardless of width. Certain on-the-road 

steel wheels with a nominal wheel 

diameter of 22.5 inches and 24.5 inches 

are generally for Class 6, 7, and 8 

commercial vehicles (as classified by 

the Federal Highway Administration 

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating system), 

including tractors, semi-trailers, dump 

trucks, garbage trucks, concrete mixers, 

and buses, and are the current standard 

wheel diameters for such applications. 

The standard widths of certain on-theroad steel wheels are 7.5 inches, 8.25 

inches, and 9.0 inches, but all certain 

on-the-road steel wheels, regardless of 

width, are covered by the scope. While 

22.5 inches and 24.5 inches are standard 

wheel sizes used by Class 6, 7, and 8 

commercial vehicles, the scope covers 

sizes that may be adopted in the future 

for Class 6, 7, and 8 commercial 

vehicles. 

The scope includes certain on-theroad steel wheels with either a ‘‘hubpiloted’’ or ‘‘stud- piloted’’ mounting 

configuration, and includes rims and 

discs for such wheels, whether imported 

as an assembly or separately. The scope 

includes certain on the road steel 

wheels, discs, and rims, of carbon and/ 

or alloy steel composition, whether 

cladded or not cladded, whether 

finished or not finished, and whether 

coated or uncoated. All on-the-road 

wheels sold in the United States are 

subject to the requirements of the 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration and bear markings, such 

as the ‘‘DOT’’ symbol, indicating 

compliance with applicable motor 

vehicle standards. See 49 CFR 571.120. 

The scope includes certain on-the-road 

steel wheels imported with or without 

the required markings. Certain on-theroad steel wheels imported as an 

assembly with a tire mounted on the 

wheel and/or with a valve stem attached 

are included. However, if the certain onthe-road steel wheel is imported as an 

assembly with a tire mounted on the 

wheel and/or with a valve stem 

attached, the certain on-the-road steel 

wheel is covered by the scope, but the 

tire and/or valve stem is not covered by 

the scope. 

The scope includes rims and discs 

that have been further processed in a 

third country, including, but not limited 

to, the welding and painting of rims and 

discs from China to form a steel wheel, 

or any other processing that would not 

otherwise remove the merchandise from 

the scope of the proceeding if performed 

in China. Excluded from the scope are: 

(1) Steel wheels for tube-type tires 

that require a removable side ring; 

(2) Aluminum wheels; 

(3) Wheels where steel represents less 

than fifty percent of the product by 

weight; and 

(4) Steel wheels that do not meet 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration requirements, other than 

the rim marking requirements found in 

49 CFR 571.120S5.2. 

Imports of the subject merchandise 

are currently classified under the 

following Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings: 8708.70.4530, 

8708.70.4560, 8708.70.6030, 

8708.70.6060, and 8716.90.5059. 

Merchandise meeting the scope 

description may also enter under the 

following HTSUS subheadings: 

4011.20.1015, 4011.20.5020, and 

8708.99.4850. While HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of the 

Orders is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), 

Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD and CVD cash 

deposits at the rates in effect at the time 

of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of these Orders is November 6, 2024. 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next sunset 

review of these Orders no later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

date of the last determination by the 

ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year sunset reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

section 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act, 

and published pursuant to section 

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).
