an average of all families with exactly 

two children. A ‘‘family unit’’ should 

consist of all related individuals who 

live at the same address, any co-resident 

unrelated children who are cared for by 

the family, and any cohabiters and their 

children. Using the most recent fiveyear distribution of FSCU expenditures, 

the Working Group recommended that 

the Census Bureau set the dollar amount 

of the poverty threshold at the 33rd 

percentile of the distribution of FCSU 

expenditures. To account for differences 

among those who rent, own a home 

with a mortgage, and own a home 

without a mortgage, the Working Group 

recommended the Census Bureau 

develop an adjustment factor for the 

shelter component, to reflect differences 

in expenditures among these three 

groups. To account for basic 

expenditures outside of FCSU, the 

Working Group recommended that the 

Census Bureau multiply the dollar 

amount (as calculated above) by 1.2. To 

define thresholds for different families, 

the Working Group recommended the 

use of the so-called ‘‘three-parameter 

equivalence scale’’ that has been used by 

the Census in recent years. The Working 

Group also recommended that 

thresholds be updated annually using 

an updated five-year distribution of 

FSCU expenditures. 

The Working Group also 

recommended that poverty thresholds 

should be adjusted for price differences 

across geographic areas. American 

Community Survey (ACS) data, which is 

collected annually by the Census 

Bureau, appear to be the best data 

currently available from which one can 

create a housing price index based on 

differences in rental prices of housing 

across areas. Future work may provide 

price data that can be used to measure 

interarea price differentials on more 

items than housing alone. 

To determine poverty status under the 

SPM, resources (income plus noncash 

benefits, minus necessary expenses) are 

compared to a family’s poverty 

threshold (as calculated in the method 

described above). If a family’s resources 

are below its poverty threshold, that 

family and all persons in the family are 

counted as poor. The Working Group 

recommended that family resources be 

estimated as the sum of cash income, 

plus any Federal government in-kind 

benefits that families can use to meet 

their FCSU. From this amount, the 

Working Group recommended 

subtracting taxes (or adding tax credits), 

work expenses, child support paid, and 

out-of-pocket medical expenses to 

determine poverty status. The survey 

used to make these calculations will be 

the Current Population Survey’s Annual 

Social and Economic Supplement, (CPS 

ASEC), which is jointly sponsored by 

the Census Bureau and BLS. 

Work expenses have an impact on 

poverty status. The Working Group 

therefore recommended that the 

definition of resources used to calculate 

the SPM should exclude expenses 

associated with commuting and child 

care. For child care, the Working Group 

recommended that actual expenses, 

either reported on the CPS ASEC or 

assigned to CPS ASEC families based on 

other household surveys that collect 

these data, should be used. For other 

work expenses, the Working Group 

recommended that the Census Bureau 

investigate the advantages and 

disadvantages of using actual expenses 

versus an average amount for all 

working adults. 

To account for medical out-of-pocket 

(MOOP) expenses, the Working Group 

recommended that the Census Bureau 

examine the reliability of questions 

newly added to the CPS ASEC in 2010. 

If these data are found to be reliable, the 

Working Group recommended that the 

Census Bureau use data from the CPS 

ASEC in the calculation of family 

resources. If these data are found to be 

unreliable, then the Working Group 

recommended that MOOP should be 

assigned to CPS ASEC families and 

individuals from other surveys that 

collect reliable information on MOOP, 

in a way that takes into account the 

differences in medical expenses among 

demographic groups. The Working 

Group also suggested that the Census 

Bureau investigate the advantages and 

disadvantages of adjusting MOOP for 

those who are uninsured, to reflect that 

the uninsured may be paying less than 

is customary because they lack health 

insurance and cannot pay for health 

services. 

III. Desired Focus of Comments 

While the Census Bureau welcomes 

public comments on the approaches 

described in the report of the Working 

Group, the Census Bureau is 

particularly interested in receiving 

comments on the specific methods used 

in the report, to ensure that the Census 

Bureau uses best practices in developing 

the SPM. Specifically, the Census 

Bureau is interested in comments on: 

• Methods and data sources used to 

geographically adjust poverty 

thresholds; 

• Methods and data sources used to 

adjust resources to account for child 

care and other work-related expenses; 

• Methods and data sources used to 

adjust resources to account for medical 

out-of-pocket expenses; and 

• Methods and data sources used to 

impute dollar values for in-kind benefits 

and taxes.

Group’s observations on the 

components for the new SPM, see the 

report entitled ‘‘Observations from the 

Interagency Technical Working Group 

on Developing a Supplemental Poverty 

Measure.’’ For more information/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 3, 2010, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Department’’) issued the 

preliminary results of the new shipper 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on wooden bedroom furniture from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) 

covering sales of subject merchandise 

made by Zhejiang Tianyi Scientific & 

Educational Equipment Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Zhejiang Tianyi’’) for the period 

January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009. 

See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from 

the People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty New Shipper Review, 75 FR 9581 

(March 3, 2010). As explained in the 

memorandum from the Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration, the Department has 

exercised its discretion to toll deadlines 

for the duration of the closure of the 

Federal Government from February 5, 

through February 12, 2010. See 

Memorandum to the Record from 

Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import 

Administration, regarding ‘‘Tolling of 

Administrative Deadlines As a Result of 

the Government Closure During the 

Recent Snowstorm,’’ dated February 12, 

2010. Thus, all deadlines in this 

segment of the proceeding have been 

extended by seven days. The current 

deadline for the final results of this 

review is currently May 24, 2010. 

Extension of Time Limits for Final 

Results 

Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), and 19 

CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the 

Department to issue the final results in 

a new shipper review of an antidumping 

duty order 90 days after the date on 

which the preliminary results are 

issued. The Department may, however, 

extend the deadline for completion of 

the final results of a new shipper review 

to 150 days if it determines that the case 

is extraordinarily complicated. See 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.214(i)(2). 

The Department finds that this new 

shipper review is extraordinarily 

complicated because of a recent filing 

which calls into question the accuracy 

and reliability of submissions in this 

review. In particular, the Department 

needs additional time to consider 

whether the information was properly 

filed and to consider any such 

information. Accordingly, we are 

extending the time for the completion of 

the final results of this review by 60 

days, from the current due date of May 

24, 2010 to July 23, 2010. 

Dated: May 20, 2010. 

This notice is published in accordance 

with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 

19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
