SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Abstract

The Census Bureau plans to extend

the current OMB clearance for the

Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization.

The survey is conducted annually

collecting data for fourth quarter

operations. The survey collects, from

manufacturing plants, the value of

actual production and the value of

production that could have been

achieved if operating at ‘‘full

production’’ and ‘‘emergency

production’’ levels. The survey also

collects data on work patterns by shift.

These data include hours in operation,

production workers, and plant hours

worked. The resulting estimates are

used in measuring inflationary

pressures, capital flows, production

indexes and analyzing and forecasting

economic and industrial trends. The

survey results are primarily used by the

Federal Reserve Board, Federal

Emergency Management Agency, and

the Department of Defense.

II. Method of Collection

The Census Bureau will use mail out/

mail back survey forms to collect the

data. Companies will be asked to

respond within 30 days of the initial

mailing. This due date will be imprinted

at the top of the form. Letters

encouraging participation will be

mailed to companies that have not

responded by the designated time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Abstract

The Census Bureau is the preeminent

collector of timely, relevant and quality

data about the people and economy of

the United States. Economic data are the

Census Bureau’s primary program

commitment during non-decennial

census years. The economic census,

conducted under authority of title 13

U.S.C., is the primary source of facts

about the structure and function of the

Nation’s economy and features unique

industry and geographic detail.

Economic census statistics serve as part

of the framework for the national

accounts and provide essential

information for government, business

and the general public.

The data collection for ownership and

control questions is a supplement to the

2002 Economic Census. In prior

censuses these questions were included

as part of the economic census

questionnaires and used to determine if

single-establishment firms were either

owned or controlled by another

company or if they operate at more than

one location. Since the ownership or

control questions only apply to singleestablishment companies, we have

removed these questions from economic

census questionnaires. We will include

these questions on a separate flier that

only will be inserted in economic

census questionnaire mail out packages

for single-establishment firms.

II. Method of Collection

The economic census will select

establishments for its mail canvas from

the Census Bureau’s Business register.

For those single-establishments firms

selected in the economic census, an

ownership or control flier will be

inserted in the mail out package. We

estimate that for the 2002 Economic

Census there will be approximately

2,442,300 establishments of singleestablishment firms.

III. Data

OMB Number: Not Available.

Form Number: The 12 fliers used to

collect ownership or control

information are tailored to specific

business practices and are too numerous

to list separately in this notice.

Type of Review: Regular Review.

Affected Public: State or local

governments, businesses or other for

[Docket 47–2000]

Foreign-Trade Zone 104—Chatham

County, Georgia; Application for

Expansion Amendment of Application

Notice is hereby given that the

application of the Savannah Airport

Commission, grantee of FTZ 104,

requesting authority to expand its zone

in Chatham County, Georgia (Doc. 47–

2000, 65 FR 50178, 8/17/00), has been

amended to remove 1,057 acres from the

FTZ expansion request. Proposed Site 6

at Mulberry Grove will be reduced from

2,239 acres to 1,182 acres.

In addition, this notice will serve to

clarify the size of Proposed Site 5 at the

Savannah International Trade and

Convention Center. As stated in the

original notice, the proposed site would

consist of 94 acres. However, the

applicant is requesting FTZ status for

only a 24-acre parcel within the 94-acre

site. The application otherwise remains

unchanged.

The comment period is reopened

until May 31, 2001. Submissions

(original and 3 copies) shall be

addressed to the Board’s Executive

Secretary at the address below.

A copy of the application and the

amendment and accompanying exhibits

are available for public inspection at the

[Docket 17–2001]

Foreign-Trade Zone 138—Columbus,

OH; Application for Subzone E.I.

DuPont de Nemours and Company,

Inc. (Chemical Products) Circleville,

OH

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Rickenbacker Port

Authority, grantee of FTZ 138,

requesting special-purpose subzone

status for the manufacturing and

warehousing facilities of E.I. DuPont de

Nemours and Company, Inc. (DuPont),

located in Circleville, Ohio. The

application was submitted pursuant to

the provisions of the Foreign-Trade

Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–

81u), and the regulations of the Board

(15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed

on April 23, 2001.

DuPont has two sites with 320

employees in Pickaway County, Ohio.

Site 1 (750 acres) is located at U.S.

Route 23 and DuPont Road, Circleville,

Ohio. Site 2 (193,000 square feet) is

located at 2300 Owens Road, Circleville,

Ohio. The DuPont facility is used for the

manufacturing, testing, packaging and

warehousing of Kapton polyimide

films (HTS 3920.99.22, duty rate 4.2%),

which are used in miniaturized

electronic components, microprocessor

chip carriers and high speed locomotive

motors. Components and materials

sourced from abroad (representing about

73% of all parts consumed in

manufacturing) include: 4-4′-

oxydianiline (ODA); 3,4,3′,4′ biphenyl

tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA);

pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA);

benemine, 4,4′-(1,3-phenylenebis (oxy))

bis (RODA); and 4,4′-oxydiphthalic

anhydride (ODPA) (HTS 2922.29.80,

2917.39.30, 2917.39.70, 2922.29.29, and

2917.39.30, duty rate ranges from 6.5%

to 10.6%).

FTZ procedures would exempt

DuPont from Customs duty payments on

the foreign components used in export

production. Some 35 percent of the

plant’s shipments are exported. On its

domestic sales, DuPont would be able to

choose the duty rates during Customs

entry procedures that apply to finished

polyimide film (4.2%) for the foreign

inputs noted above. The request

indicates that the savings from FTZ

procedures would help improve the

plant’s international competitiveness.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ staff

has been appointed examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

Public comment on the application is

invited from interested parties.

Submissions (original and 3 copies)

shall be addressed to the Board’s

Executive Secretary at the address

below. The closing period for their

receipt is July 2, 2001. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to July 16, 2001).

A copy of the application and the

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at each of the

following locations:

Assistance Center, Two Nationwide
