SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau conducts the SIPP 

which is a household-based survey 

designed as a continuous series of 

national panels. New panels are 

introduced every few years with each 

panel usually having durations of one to 

five years. Respondents are interviewed 

at 4-month intervals or ‘‘waves’’ over 

the life of the panel. The survey is 

molded around a central ‘‘core’’ of labor 

force and income questions that remain 

fixed throughout the life of the panel. 

The core is supplemented with 

questions designed to address specific 

needs, such as obtaining information on 

welfare reform and to identify 

individuals in SIPP sample households 

who were temporarily or permanently 

relocated due to Hurricane Katrina. 

These supplemental questions are 

included with the core and are referred 

to as a ‘‘topical module.’’

The SIPP represents a source of 

information for a wide variety of topics 

and allows information for separate 

topics to be integrated to form a single, 

unified database so that the interaction 

between tax, transfer, and other 

government and private policies can be 

examined. Government domestic-policy 

formulators depend heavily upon the 

SIPP information concerning the 

distribution of income received directly 

as money or indirectly as in-kind 

benefits and the effect of tax and 

transfer programs on this distribution. 

They also need improved and expanded 

data on the income and general 

economic and financial situation of the 

U.S. population. The SIPP has provided 

thesekinds of data on a continuing basis 

since 1983 permitting levels of 

economic well-being and changes in 

these levels to be measured over time. 

The 2004 Panel is currently scheduled 

for 5 years and will include 15 waves 

of interviewing, which began in 

February 2004. The 2004 Panel is 

scheduled for 5 years because of the reauthoring of the instrument and reengineering of the post data collection 

processing systems for the 2009 Panel. 

Approximately 62,000 households were 

selected for the 2004 Panel, of which, 

46,500 were interviewed. We estimate 

that each household will contain 2.1 

people 15 years of age or older, yielding 

97,650 interviews in Wave 1 and 

subsequent waves. Interviews take 30 

minutes on average. Three waves of 

interviewing will occur in the 2004 SIPP 

Panel during FY 2006. The total annual 

burden for 2004 Panel SIPP interviews 

will be 146,475 hours in FY 2006. 

The topical modules for the 2004 

Panel Wave 8 collect information about: 

• Welfare Reform 

• Hurricane Katrina Questions 

Wave 8 interviews will be conducted 

from June 2006 through September 

2006. 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 213 / Friday, November 4, 2005 / Notices 67137 

A 10-minute reinterview of 3,100 

people is conducted at each wave to 

ensure the accuracy of responses. 

Reinterviews will require an additional 

1,553 burden hours in FY 2006. 

II. Method of Collection 

The SIPP is designed as a continuing 

series of national panels of interviewed 

households that are introduced every 

few years with each panel having 

durations of 1 to 5 years. All household 

members 15 years old or over are 

interviewed using regular proxyrespondent rules. During the 2004 

Panel, respondents are interviewed a 

total of 15 times (15 waves) at 4-month 

intervals making the SIPP a longitudinal 

survey. Sample people (all household 

members present at the time of the first 

interview) who move within the country 

and reasonably close to a SIPP primary 

sampling unit will be followed and 

interviewed at their new address. 

Individuals 15 years old or over who 

enter the household after Wave 1 will be 

interviewed; however, if these 

individuals move, they are not followed 

unless they happen to move along with 

a Wave 1 sample individual.

(A–533–809, A–583–821) 

Forged Stainless Steel Flanges from 

India and Taiwan; Expedited Five-year 

(Sunset) Reviews of Antidumping Duty 

Orders; Final Results 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On July 1, 2005, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) initiated sunset reviews of 

the antidumping duty orders on forged 

stainless steel flanges (flanges) from 

India and Taiwan, pursuant to section 

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

amended (the Act). On the basis of the 

notice of intent to participate and an 

adequate substantive response filed on 

behalf of domestic interested parties and 

no responses from respondent interested 

parties, the Department conducted 

expedited sunset reviews. As a result of 

these sunset reviews, the Department 

finds that revocation of the antidumping 

duty orders on flanges from India and 

Taiwan would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

at the levels listed below in the section 

entitled ‘‘Final Results of Reviews.’’

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 4, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 1, 2005, the Department 

initiated sunset reviews of the 

antidumping duty orders on flanges 

from India and Taiwan pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation 

of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 70 FR 

38101 (July 1, 2005). The Department 

received a notice of intent to participate 

from two domestic interested parties, 

Gerlin, Inc. and Maass Flange 

Corporation (collectively, petitioners), 

within the deadline specified in 19 

C.F.R. § 351.218(d)(1)(i). Petitioners 

claimed interested party status under 

section 771(9)(C) of the Act as U.S. 

producers of a domestic like product. 

We received a complete substantive 

response from petitioners within the 30- 

day deadline specified in 19 C.F.R. 

§ 351.218(d)(3)(i). However, we did not 

receive responses from any respondent 

interested parties. As a result, pursuant 

to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 

C.F.R. § 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the 

Department conducted expedited sunset 

reviews of the orders. 

Scope of the Orders 

The products covered by these orders 

are certain forged stainless steel flanges, 

both finished and not finished, 

generally manufactured to specification 

ASTM A–182, and made in alloys such 

as 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. The scope 

includes five general types of flanges. 

They are weld–neck, used for butt–weld 

line connections; threaded, used for 

threaded line connections; slip–on and 

lap joint, used with stub–ends/ butt–

weld line connections; socket weld, 

used to fit pipe into a machined 

recession; and blind, used to seal off a 

line. The sizes of the flanges within the 

scope range generally from one to six 

inches; however, all sizes of the above–

described merchandise are included in 

the scope. Specifically excluded from 

the scope of these orders are cast 

stainless steel flanges. Cast stainless 

steel flanges generally are manufactured 

to specification ASTM A–351. The 

flanges subject to these orders are 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

7307.21.1000 and 7307.21.5000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Although the 

HTSUS subheading is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

under review is dispositive of whether 

or not the merchandise is covered by the 

scope of the orders. 

These sunset reviews cover imports 

from all manufacturers and exporters of 

flanges from India and Taiwan except 

Viraj Forgings, Ltd., for which the order 

on flanges from India was revoked.
