surveys. 

Annual Business Survey (ABS) 

The ABS provides information on 

selected economic and demographic 

characteristics for businesses and 

business owners by sex, ethnicity, race, 

and veteran status. Further, the survey 

measures research and development for 

microbusinesses, new business topics 

such as innovation and technology, as 

well as other business characteristics. 

The ABS includes all nonfarm employer 

businesses filing Internal Revenue 

Service (IRS) tax forms as individual 

proprietorships, partnerships, or any 

other type of corporation, with receipts 

of $1,000 or more. The ABS is 

sponsored by the National Center for 

Science and Engineering Statistics 

(NCSES) within the National Science 

Foundation (NSF) and conducted by the 

Census Bureau for five years (2018– 

2022).

of investment in buildings and other 

structures, machinery, and equipment 

by all private nonfarm businesses in the 

United States, by the investing industry, 

and by kind of investment.

industries, including data on plants 

under construction but not yet in 

operation. The ASM data are used to 

benchmark and reconcile monthly data 

on manufacturing production and 

inventories.

Classification Report collects one-time 

data on a firm’s type of business activity 

from a sample of businesses that were 

recently assigned Federal Employer 

Identification Numbers or recently 

added to the scope of the Census

Business Enterprise Research and 

Development Survey (BERD) 

The BERD collects annual data on 

spending for research and development 

activities by businesses. The BERD 

collects foreign as well as domestic 

spending information, more detailed 

information about the R&D workforce, 

and information regarding intellectual 

property from U.S. businesses. The 

Census Bureau collects and compiles 

this information in accordance with a 

joint project agreement between the 

National Science Foundation (NSF) and

Management and Organizational 

Practices Survey (MOPS) 

The MOPS will be conducted as a 

joint project by the Census Bureau, the 

University of Chicago Booth School of 

Business, Stanford School of 

Humanities and Sciences, and the 

Stanford Institute for Human-Centered 

Artificial Intelligence. The MOPS will 

collect information on management and 

organizational practices of 

manufacturing firms at the 

establishment level. Data obtained from 

the survey will allow the Census Bureau 

to estimate a firm’s stock of management 

and organizational assets, specifically 

the use of establishment performance 

data, such as production targets in 

decision-making and the prevalence of 

decentralized decision rights. The 

results will provide information on 

investments in management and 

organizational practices thus providing 

a better understanding of the benefits 

from these investments when measured 

in terms of firm productivity or firm 

market value.

Management and Organizational 

Practices Survey for Hospitals (MOPS– 

HP) 

The MOPS–HP collects information 

on the use of structured management 

practices from Chief Nursing Officers 

(CNOs) at approximately 3,200 hospitals 

with the goal of producing four 

publicly-available indices that measure 

key characteristics of these structured 

management practices. The MOPS–HP 

collects data for reference years 2020 

and 2019. 

The MOPS–HP will provide a deeper 

understanding of the business processes 

which impact an increasingly important 

sector of the economy; total national 

health expenditures represented almost 

18 percent of U.S. gross domestic 

product in 2017 (National Center for 

Health Statistics).

(M3UFO) 

The M3UFO collects annual data on 

sales and unfilled orders in order to 

provide annual benchmarks for unfilled 

orders for the monthly Manufacturers’ 

Shipments, Inventories, and Orders 

(M3) survey. The M3UFO data are also 

used to determine whether it is 

necessary to collect unfilled orders data 

for specific industries on a monthly 

basis, as some industries are not 

requested to provide unfilled orders 

data in the M3 Survey.

Belavia Belarusian Airlines, 14A 

Nemiga str., Minsk, Belarus, 220004; 

Order Temporarily Denying Export 

Privileges 

Pursuant to Section 766.24 of the 

Export Administration Regulations, 15 

CFR parts 730–774 (2021) (‘‘EAR’’ or 

‘‘the Regulations’’),1 the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’), U.S. 

Department of Commerce, through its 

Office of Export Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’), 

has requested the issuance of an Order 

temporarily denying, for a period of 180 

days, the export privileges under the 

Regulations of Belavia Belarusian 

Airlines (‘‘Belavia’’). OEE’s request and 

related information indicates that 

Belavia is headquartered in Minsk, 

Belarus and owned by the State of 

Belarus. 

I. Legal Standard 

Pursuant to Section 766.24, BIS may 

issue an order temporarily denying a 

respondent’s export privileges upon a 

showing that the order is necessary in 

the public interest to prevent an 

‘‘imminent violation’’ of the 

Regulations, or any order, license or 

authorization issued thereunder. 15 CFR 

766.24(b)(1) and 766.24(d). ‘‘A violation 

may be ‘imminent’ either in time or 

degree of likelihood.’’ 15 CFR 

766.24(b)(3). BIS may show ‘‘either that 

a violation is about to occur, or that the 

general circumstances of the matter 

under investigation or case under 

criminal or administrative charges 

demonstrate a likelihood of future 

violations.’’ Id. As to the likelihood of 

future violations, BIS may show that the 

violation under investigation or charge 

‘‘is significant, deliberate, covert and/or 

likely to occur again, rather than 

technical or negligent[.]’’ Id. A ‘‘lack of 

information establishing the precise 

time a violation may occur does not 

preclude a finding that a violation is 

imminent, so long as there is sufficient 

reason to believe the likelihood of a 

violation.’’ Id. 

II. OEE’s Request for a Temporary 

Denial Order (‘‘TDO’’) 

The U.S. Commerce Department, 

through BIS, responded to the Russian 

Federation’s (‘‘Russia’s’’) further 

invasion of Ukraine by implementing a 

sweeping series of stringent export 

controls that severely restrict Russia’s 

access to technologies and other items 

that it needs to sustain its aggressive 

military capabilities. Between February 

and June 2022, BIS has published a 

series of amendments to the EAR that
