include retail trade, wholesale trade,

business services, transportation and

other service related industries are the

primary areas of the economy where the

Census Bureau plans to collect the new

NAICS information.

The classification information

collected from businesses will be used

to update the Census Bureau’s mailing

lists to ensure respondents will receive

the correct 1997 Economic Census form.

The collection of this new NAICS

information will greatly reduce

processing costs and ease reporting

burden for the 1997 Economic Censuses

data collection. The Census Bureau is

not requesting any economic data in this

collection.

II. Method of Collection

The Census Bureau will select

establishments to receive this survey

from the Census Bureau’s Standard

Statistical Establishment List. Short

form questionnaires are designed for

respondents to select the industry

activity that best describes the

establishment’s business. The Census

Bureau’s mail list will include single

business establishments and companies

with multiple establishments. To be

eligible for selection, an establishment

must satisfy the following conditions:

(1) the current SIC is affected by the

NAICS implementation or the current

SIC is only coded to the 2 or 3 digit

level; and (2) the establishment is above

the mail cutoffs planned for the 1997

Economic Census.

III. Data

OMB Number: Not Available.

Form Number: NC–9922.

Type of Review: Regular Review.

Affected Public: Businesses or Other

for Profit Institutions, Non-profit

Institutions, Small Businesses or

Organizations, and State or Local

Hours: 66,667 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: The

Economic Census, estimated to be $218

million.

IV. Request for Comments

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden

(including hours and cost) of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including through the

use of automated collection techniques

or other forms of information

technology.

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for OMB

approval of this information collection;

they also will become a matter of public

record.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 37–96]

Foreign-Trade Zone 43—Battle Creek,

MI Area; Application for Expansion

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the City of Battle Creek,

Michigan, grantee of FTZ 43, requesting

authority to expand its zone at a site in

Benton Harbor, Michigan, adjacent to

the Battle Creek Customs port of entry.

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 May 7, 1996.

FTZ 43 was approved on October 19,

1978 (Board Order 138, 43 FR 50233;

10/27/78). Since then the zone has been

expanded three times (B.O.s 496, 554 &

555). It currently consists of three sites

in the Battle Creek area: Site 1: (1,731

acres)—within the Fort Custer Industrial

Park and adjacent Columbia West

Industrial Park, Battle Creek; Site 2: (23

acres)—warehouse facility owned and

operated by TLC Warehousing Services,

Inc. (TLC), at 6677 Beatrice Drive in

Texas Township (Kalamazoo County);

and Site 3: (22 acres)—warehouse

facility, also operated by TLC, 8250

Logistic Drive, Zeeland Township

(Ottawa County), some 20 miles

southwest of Grand Rapids.

The applicant is now requesting

authority to expand the general-purpose

zone to include a site (30 acres—2

parcels) located within the 120-acre St.

Joseph River Harbor Development Area

adjacent to Lake Michigan in Benton

Harbor (Berrien County), Michigan,

some 50 miles east of Battle Creek. The

first parcel is bordered by North

Riverview Street, BL–94, the St. Joseph

River and the Paw Paw River. The

second parcel is bordered by Graham

Street, 8th Street, the CSX Railroad Line

and the Paw Paw River. The site will be

operated by Cornerstone Alliance

Council of Commerce and Community

Development, a local economic

development corporation.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations (as revised, 56 FR 50790–

50808, 10–8–91), a member of the FTZ

Staff has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

Public comment (original and 3

copies) is invited from interested parties

(see FTZ Board address below). The

closing date for their receipt is July 19,

1996. Rebuttal comments in response to

material submitted during the foregoing

period may be submitted during the

subsequent 15-day period August 5,

1996.

Foreign-Trade Zone 21—Charleston,

SC; Request for Manufacturing

Authority, Quoizel, Inc., (Lighting

Fixtures)

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the South Carolina State Ports

Authority, grantee of FTZ 21, requesting

authority on behalf of Quoizel, Inc., to

manufacture lighting fixtures under

zone procedures within FTZ 21, Site 3,

Crowfield Corporate Center, Goose

Creek, South Carolina. 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 May

8, 1996.

Quoizel is planning to move its

headquarters and manufacturing facility

to a site located within FTZ 21, Site 3,

Crowfield Corporate Center by July

1996. The facility (300 employees) will

produce lighting fixtures for households

and commercial markets. Some 60

percent of the components are sourced

abroad, including lighting fixture parts

of glass, plastic, brass and steel. Exports

will account for some 10 percent of

production.

Zone procedures would exempt

Quoizel from Customs duty payments

on foreign materials used in

manufacturing for export. On domestic

sales, the company would be able to

choose the duty rates that apply to

lighting fixtures (ranging from 3.7% to

7.6%), rather than the duty rates that

would otherwise apply to the foreign

components (ranging from 4.7% to

13.2%). The application indicates that

the savings from zone procedures would

help improve the international

competitiveness of the Quoizel facility.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

Public comment 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 19, 1996. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent
