Bureau to take surveys that are 

necessary to produce current data on the 

subjects covered by the major censuses. 

As part of this authorization, the Census 

Bureau conducts the ARTS to provide 

continuing and timely national 

statistical data on retail trade, and 

accommodation and food services 

activity for the period between 

economic censuses. ARTS is a 

continuation of similar retail trade 

surveys conducted each year since 1951 

(except 1954). ARTS covers employer 

firms with establishments located in the 

United States and classified in the Retail 

Trade and/or Accommodation and Food 

Services sectors as defined by the 2002 

North American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS). ARTS provides, on a 

comparable classification basis, annual 

sales, annual e-commerce sales, 

purchases, total operating expenses, 

accounts receivables, and year-end 

inventories held inside and outside the 

United States for 2010. The Census 

Bureau has determined that the conduct 

of this survey is necessary because these 

data are not available publicly on a 

timely basis from non-governmental or 

other governmental sources. 

The Census Bureau will request a 

sample of firms operating retail, 

accommodation, and/or food services 

establishments in the United States to 

respond to the 2010 ARTS. Firms are 

selected for this survey using a stratified 

random sample based on industry 

groupings and annual sales size. We 

will provide report forms to the firms 

covered by this survey in January 2011, 

and will require their responses within 

30 days after receipt. Firms’ responses 

to the ARTS survey are required by law 

(Title 13 U.S.C. 182, 224, and 225). The 

sample of firms selected will provide, 

with measurable reliability, statistics on 

annual sales, annual e-commerce sales, 

purchases, total operating expenses, 

accounts receivables, and year-end 

inventories held both inside and outside 

the United States for 2010. 

The data collected in this survey will 

be similar to that collected in the past 

and within the general scope and nature 

of those inquiries covered in the 

economic census. These data are 

collected to provide a sound statistical 

basis for the formation of policy by 

various government agencies. Results 

will be available for use for a variety of 

public and business needs such as 

economic and market analysis, company 

performance, and forecasting future 

demand. 

Notwithstanding any other provision 

of law, no person is required to respond 

to, nor shall a person be subject to a 

penalty for failure to comply with, a 

collection of information subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) unless that 

collection of information displays a 

current valid Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) control number. In 

accordance with the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3501–3521, OMB has approved the 

Annual Retail Trade Survey under OMB 

Control Number 0607–0013. 

Based upon the foregoing, I have 

directed that an annual survey be 

conducted for the purpose of collecting 

these data.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 

182, 224, and 225 of Title 13 of the 

United States Code authorize the Census 

Bureau to take surveys that are 

necessary to produce current data on the 

subjects covered by the major censuses. 

As part of this authorization, the Census 

Bureau conducts the AWTS to provide 

continuing and timely national statistics 

data on wholesale trade activity for the 

period between economic censuses. 

For 2010, the survey will, as it has in 

the past, consist of a sample of 

wholesale distributors; manufacturers’ 

sales branches and offices; and agent, 

brokers, and electronic markets. The 

data collected in this survey will be 

similar to that collected in the past and 

within the general scope and nature of 

those inquiries covered in the economic 

census. These data are collected to 

provide a sound statistical basis for the 

formation of policy by various 

government agencies. These data will be 

available for use for a variety of public 

and business needs such as economic 

and market analysis, company 

performance, and forecasting future 

demand. 

From wholesale distributors, the 

Census Bureau will collect data 

covering sales, e-commerce sales, yearend inventories held inside and outside 

the United States, purchases, and total 

operating expenses. From 

manufacturers’ sales branches and 

offices, the Census Bureau will collect 

data covering annual sales, e-commerce 

sales, year-end inventories held inside 

and outside the United States and total 

operating expenses. From agents, 

brokers, and electronic markets, the 

Census Bureau will collect data 

covering commissions, total operating 

revenue, gross selling value, and total

naics/index.html. The Census Bureau 

has determined that the conduct of this 

survey is necessary as these data are not 

available publicly on a timely basis from

sources. 

The Census Bureau will request a 

sample of firms engaged in the three

to the 2010 AWTS. Firms are selected 

for this survey using a stratified random

On April 13, 2010, the Department

rebuttal briefs for consideration in the 

final results of this administrative 

review. 

On May 13, 2010, Max Fortune 

requested a hearing. 

On May 28, 2010, Max Fortune

certain information designated as 

business proprietary that was included 

in the petitioner’s 1 September 15, 2009, 

submissions and examined by the 

Department during verification.2 On 

June 8, 2010, the Department informed 

Max Fortune that it was unable to grant 

its May 28, 2010, request because doing 

so would reveal the source of the 

information for which the Department 

granted the petitioner business 

proprietary treatment.

submitted its case brief. Neither Seaman 

Paper Asia nor the petitioner submitted

(Fed. Cir. May 14, 2010) (Dorbest), 

issued by the United States Court of 

Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), 

the Department would be reconsidering 

its valuation of the labor wage rate in 

this review. The Department placed 

export data on the record of the review 

and gave parties a specified period of 

time to comment on the narrow issue of 

the labor wage value and the 

methodology proposed to value labor for 

margin calculation purposes in light of 

the CAFC’s decision in Dorbest.3 On 

July 15, 2010, the Department corrected 

certain wage rate data placed on the 

record on July 14, 2010.4

On July 20, 2010, Max Fortune 

withdrew its May 13, 2010, request for 

a hearing. No other party in this review 

requested a hearing.

submitted comments on the wage rate 

data and proposed methodology the 

Department placed on the record on July 

14, 2010. 

On July 23, 2010, the Department held 

meetings with Max Fortune’s and the 

petitioner’s counsels to discuss the 

issues raised in Max Fortune’s case 

brief.5

On August 9, 2010, the Department
