the alternator, which controls the 

electrical output of the alternator to 

match the electrical load of the vehicle. 

The regulator is a key component of the 

alternator. Should the alternator not 

supply enough power, the battery will 

get depleted and the vehicle will stop 

operating. The regulator will be 

assembled with fifty-two other 

components, into the alternator in a 

thirty-one step process which will take 

approximately 169 minutes. Under the 

described assembly process, the foreign 

components lose their individual 

identities and become an integral part of 

a new article, the alternator, possessing 

a new name, character and use. Based 

upon the information before us, we find 

that the components that are used to 

manufacture the alternator, including 

the regulator manufactured in the U.S., 

are substantially transformed as a result 

of the assembly operations performed in 

the U.S., and that the country of origin 

of the alternator for government 

procurement purposes is the U.S. 

HOLDING: 

The components that are used to 

manufacture the alternator are 

substantially transformed as a result of 

the assembly operations performed in 

the U.S. Therefore, the country of origin 

of the alternator for government 

procurement purposes is the U.S. 

Notice of this final determination will 

be given in the Federal Register, as 

required by 19 C.F.R. § 177.29. Any 

party-at-interest other than the party 

which requested this final 

determination may request, pursuant to 

19 C.F.R. § 177.31, that CBP reexamine 

the matter anew and issue a new final 

determination. Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 

§ 177.30, any party-at-interest may, 

within 30 days after publication of the 

Federal Register notice referenced 

above, seek judicial review of this final 

determination before the Court of 

International Trade. 

Sincerely, 

Sandra L. Bell

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 641 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (19 U.S.C. 1641), provides 

that a person (an individual, 

corporation, association, or partnership) 

must hold a valid customs broker’s 

license and permit in order to transact 

customs business on behalf of others, 

sets forth standards for the issuance of 

broker’s licenses and permits, and 

provides for the taking of disciplinary 

action against brokers that have engaged 

in specified types of infractions. In the 

case of an applicant for an individual 

broker’s license, section 641 provides 

that an examination may be conducted 

to determine the applicant’s 

qualifications for a license. 

The regulations issued under the 

authority of section 641 are set forth in 

part 111 of title 19 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (19 CFR part 111). 

Part 111 includes detailed rules 

regarding the licensing of, and granting 

of permits to, persons desiring to 

transact customs business as customs 

brokers. These rules include the 

qualifications required of applicants and 

the procedures for applying for licenses 

and permits. Section 111.11 (19 CFR 

111.11) sets forth the basic requirements 

for a broker’s license and, in paragraph 

(a)(4), provides that an applicant for an 

individual broker’s license must attain a 

passing grade on a written examination 

taken within the 3-year period before 

submission of the license application 

prescribed under § 111.12 (19 CFR 

111.12). Section 111.13 (19 CFR 111.13) 

sets forth the requirements and 

procedures for the written examination 

for an individual broker’s license. 

Paragraph (b) of § 111.13 pertains to the 

date and place of the examination and 

states that written customs broker 

license examinations will be given on 

the first Monday in April and October 

unless the regularly scheduled 

examination date conflicts with a 

national holiday, religious observance, 

or other foreseeable event and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

publishes in the Federal Register 

appropriate notice of a change in the 

examination date. 

CBP recognizes that the first Monday 

in April 2010 (April 5) coincides with 

the observance of Passover. In 

consideration of this conflict with 

Passover, CBP has decided to change the 

date of the examination pursuant to 

§ 111.13(b). Accordingly, this document 

announces that CBP has scheduled the 

April 2010 examination for Wednesday, 

April 7. 

Dated: January 26, 2010.

Assistant Commissioner, Office of 

International Trade, U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection.

review, as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

soliciting comments from members of 

the public and affected agencies

This notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: Public Housing 

Contracting with Resident-Owned 

Businesses. 

OMB Control Number: 2577–0161. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: PHAs 

can enhance the economic opportunities 

of public housing residents by allowing 

for an alternative procurement method 

to solicit and contract with eligible and 

qualified resident-owned businesses to 

obtain services, supplies, or 

construction for individual contracts 

that do not exceed a combined dollar 

value of $1,000,000. The alternative 

procurement method requires PHAs to 

collect such information as certified 

copies of any State, county, or 

municipal licenses that may be required 

of the business to engage in the type of 

business activity for which it was 

formed; a certification that shows the 

business is owned by residents; and, 

certification as to the number of 

contracts awarded under the alternative 

procurement process. 

Agency Form Numbers: None. 

Members of Affected Public: State or 

Local Government; Public Housing 

Agencies (PHAs), Individuals or 

Households. 

Estimation of the Total number of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response:

Number of 

responses

Hours per 

response 

Total annual 

burden hours Cost per hour Total annual cost 

82 ......................................................................................... 82 24 1,968 $29.00 $57,072 

*The Department estimates that out of a total of 4113 PHAs only 2 percent or 82 PHAs contract with resident owned business. The calculation 

is as follows: 82 PHAs × 24 (hours) = 1,968 (total burden hours) × $29 p/hr = $57,072 (total annual cost) Average PHA salary = $60,000 per 

year; $1154 per week; $29.00 per hour. 

Status of the Proposed Information 

Collection: Extension of a currently 

approved collection. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
