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 functioning 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. 

Prior to conducting the 2007 

Economic Census, the Census Bureau 

needs to collect a North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

code from selected construction 

establishments. Those establishments 

selected have a partially assigned 

NAICS code on the Census Bureau’s 

Business Register. Collecting this 

classification information will ensure 

the Economic Census mailing list for the 

construction sector is complete and 

accurate prior to the mailing of the 2007 

Economic Census. As a result of this 

collection, the Census Bureau will be 

able to select an efficient sample, thus 

minimizing the reporting burden that 

we impose on construction 

establishments. 

Additionally, this questionnaire will 

be used to collect a complete and 

reliable NAICS code for partially 

classified manufacturing and mining 

establishments. This will ensure these 

establishments are tabulated in the 

correct detailed industry for the 2007 

Economic Census. Many of these 

establishments will not receive any 

further economic census mailings 

because of their small size, and this will 

be our only chance to obtain this 

detailed industry classification. 

Economic data for these cases could be 

lost if this data were not collected. 

The failure to collect this 

classification information will have an 

adverse effect on the quality and 

usefulness of economic statistics and 

severely hamper the Census Bureau’s 

ability to effectively classify 

establishments under NAICS in the 

Economic Census and other survey 

programs. 

The Census Bureau is not requesting 

any economic data in this collection. 

The collection of this NAICS 

information will greatly reduce 

processing costs and ease reporting 

burden for the 2007 Economic Census 

data collection. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Census Bureau will select 

establishments to receive this survey 

from the Census Bureau’s Business 

Register. The Census Bureau will mail 

the NC–99026 to those establishments 

from the following groups: (1) Any 

single unit construction establishment 

that is partially coded, (2) any single 

61786 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 206 / Wednesday, October 26, 2005 / Notices 

unit manufacturing establishment that is 

partially coded, or (3) any single unit 

mining establishment that is partially 

coded. The NC-99026 will be used to 

assign a valid NAICS code. 

The NC–99026 will contain a list of 

codes and descriptions describing either 

diverse construction, manufacturing, or 

mining activities. Respondents check 

the box that best describes their 

business activity or describe their 

business activity if no box is 

appropriate.

Foreign–Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 51–2005] 

Foreign–Trade Zone 202- Los Angeles, 

California, Request for Processing 

Authority, Citizen Watch Company of 

America, Inc. (Watches) 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the Port of Los Angeles, 

California, grantee of FTZ 202, 

requesting authority on behalf of Citizen 

Watch Company of America, Inc. 

(Citizen) for the processing and 

packaging of watches under FTZ 

procedures within Site 7 of FTZ 202 in 

Torrance, California. 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 

October 19, 2005. 

Citizen operates a distribution facility 

(182 employees) for the warehousing, 

packaging and distribution of watches. 

The company’s application indicates 

that the duty rates for finished watches 

range from duty–free to 6 percent (ad 

valorem equivalent). Foreign–sourced 

inputs include imported gift boxes, 

watch bands, watch cases and other 

materials with duty rates ranging from 

duty–free to 20 percent. 

This application requests authority to 

allow Citizen to conduct activities 

under FTZ procedures, which would 

exempt the company from Customs duty 

payments on the foreign components 

used in export activity. On its domestic 

sales, the company would be able to 

choose the duty rate that applies to 

finished products for the foreign 

components noted above. Citizen’s 

application indicates that the savings 

from zone procedures could help 

improve the company’s international 

competitiveness. 

Public comment on the application is 

invited from interested parties. 

Submissions (original and three copies) 

shall be addressed to the Board’s 

Executive Secretary at the following
