SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The BE–48 Annual Survey of

Reinsurance and Other Insurance

Transactions by U.S. Insurance

Companies With Foreign Persons will

obtain data from U.S. insurance

companies on their reinsurance and

other insurance transactions with

foreign persons. The information

gathered is needed, among other

purposes, to support U.S. trade policy

initiatives and to compile the U.S.

international transactions, input-output,

and national income and product

accounts. Apart from minor

clarifications to the instructions for

reporting commissions and changes to

the pre-printed list of countries to

reflect recent shifts in the geographic

composition of cross-border insurance

transactions, BEA is not proposing

changes to the form or instructions at

this time.

II. Method of Collection

The survey will be sent each year to

potential respondents in January and

responses are due by March 31. A U.S.

person who engages in reinsurance

transactions with foreign persons or

who acts in the capacity of a primary

insurer with foreign persons is required

to report if, with respect to transactions

with foreign persons, any of the

following six items equaled or exceeded

$1 million (positive or negative) in the

reporting period: (1) Premiums earned,

and (2) losses, on reinsurance assumed;

(3) premiums incurred, and (4) losses,

on reinsurance ceded; and (5) premiums

earned, and (6) losses, on primary

insurance sold. A U.S. person that

receives a form but is not required to

report data must file an exemption

claim.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0608–0016.

Form Number: BE–48.

Type of Review: Regular submission.

Affected Public: U.S. insurance

companies or groups engaging in

reinsurance or other insurance

transactions with foreign persons.

Estimated Number of Responses: 400.

Estimated Time Per Response: 4

hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 1,600.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $48,000

(based on an estimated reporting burden

of 1,600 hours and an estimated hourly

cost of $30).

IV. Request for Comments

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information has practical

utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s

estimate of the burden (including hours

and cost) of the proposed collection of

information; (c) ways to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (d)

ways to minimize the burden of the

collection of information on

respondents, including through the use

of automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for OMB

approval of this information collection;

they also will become a matter of public

record.

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

DOC has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

collection of information under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).

Agency: Bureau of the Census.

Title: Census 2000, Special Place

Facility Questionnaire Operation and

Military Installation Group Quarters

Address List Operation.

Form Number(s): D–351, D–351(MIL).

Agency Approval Number: 0607–

0786.

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with

change, of an expired collection.

Burden: 112,618 hours.

Number of Respondents: 450,473.

Avg Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.

Needs and Uses: Planning is currently

underway for the Census 2000. The

Census Bureau must provide everyone

in the United States and Outlying Areas

the opportunity to be counted in Census

2000, including persons living at group

quarters (GQs) (student dorms, shelters,

group homes, etc.) and housing units

(HUs) at and/or associated with special

places (SPs). One of the major

requirements for enumeration of

persons at SP facilities is to identify the

GQs and any associated HUs at each SP.

The Census Bureau will maintain a

file of SPs and GQs that was created

from the 1990 census GQ files and is

being updated from ongoing programs

and other activities that will be carried

out prior to Census 2000.

We plan to phone each SP in our

updated file of SPs and GQs and

conduct a computer assisted interview

to identify and collect updated

information about the GQs and HUs at

each SP. Personal visit interviews will

be conducted for a small number of

cases. This operation will be very

similar to that conducted for the 1995

and 1996 Census Tests and the 2000

Census Dress Rehearsal currently being

conducted. Additionally, we plan to

conduct a listing operation at military

installations to collect essentially the

same information.

All information gathered during this

operation will be used to help us in

Census 2000 to properly enumerate

individuals that live in the HUs and

GQs associated with SPs in the United

States and Outlying Areas.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, individuals or households, notfor-profit institutions, Federal

government.

Frequency: One time.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Legal Authority: Title 13 USC,

Sections 141 and 193.

Brake Rotors From the People’s

Republic of China: Initiation of New

Shipper Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

has received a request to conduct a new

shipper administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on brake rotors

from the People’s Republic of China. In

accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(d), we

are initiating this administrative review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 22, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Brian Smith or Sunkyu Kim, Import

Administration, International Trade

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230;

telephone (202) 482–1766 or 482–2613,

respectively.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (‘‘the Act’’), are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments

made to the Act by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act. In addition, unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) regulations are to the

provisions codified at 19 CFR part 351

(62 FR 27295, May 19, 1997).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department has received a timely

request from Yantai Chen Fu Machinery

Co., Ltd., (‘‘YCFM’’), in accordance with

19 CFR 351.214(d), for a new shipper

review of the antidumping duty order

on brake rotors from the People’s

Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’), which has

an April anniversary date. YCFM (‘‘the

respondent’’) has certified that it did not

export brake rotors to the United States

during the period of investigation

(‘‘POI’’), and that it is not affiliated with

any exporter or producer which did

export brake rotors during the POI.

In accordance with section

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, as amended, and

19 CFR 351.214(b), and based on

information on the record, we are

initiating the new shipper review as

requested.

It is the Department’s usual practice

in cases involving non-market

economies to require that a company

seeking to establish eligibility for an

antidumping duty rate separate from the

country-wide rate provide de jure and

de facto evidence of an absence of

government control over the company’s

export activities. Accordingly we will

issue a separate rates questionnaire to

the above-named respondent, allowing

30 days for response. If the response

from the respondent provides sufficient

indication that the YCFM is not subject

to either de jure or de facto government

control with respect to its exports of

brake rotors, this review will proceed. If,

on the other hand, YCFM does not

demonstrate its eligibility for a separate

rate, then YCFM will be deemed to be

affiliated with other companies that

exported during the POI and that did

not establish entitlement to a separate

rate, and this review will be terminated.

Initiation of Review

In accordance with section

751(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR

351.214(d)(1), we are initiating a new

shipper review of the antidumping duty

order on brake rotors from the PRC. On

May 11, 1998, YCFM agreed to waive

the time limits in order that the

Department, pursuant to 19 CFR

351.214(j)(3), may conduct this review

concurrent with the first annual

administrative review of this order for

the period October 10, 1996–March 31,

1998, which is being conducted

pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the Act.

See, Antidumping Duties,

Countervailing Duties; Final Rule, (62

FR 27295, 27395, May 19, 1997).

Therefore, we intend to issue the final

results of this review not later than 245

days after the last day of the anniversary

month.

importer, the posting, until the

completion of the review, of a bond or

security in lieu of a cash deposit for

each entry of the merchandise exported

by the above listed company. This

action is in accordance with 19 CFR

351.214(e) and (j)(3).

Interested parties that need access to

the proprietary information in this new

shipper review should submit

applications for disclosure under

administrative protective orders in

accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(b).

This initiation and this notice are in

accordance with section 751(a) of the

Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19 CFR
