SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that the 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development has submitted to OMB a 

request for approval of the Information 

collection described below. This notice 

is soliciting comments from members of 

the public and affecting agencies 

concerning the proposed collection of 

information to: (1) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) Evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (3) Enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) Minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond; including 

through the use of appropriate 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

This notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: 2009 American 

Housing Survey—New Orleans 

Metropolitan Sample. 

Description of Information Collection: 

This is a new information collection. 

The Department of Housing and Urban 

Development is seeking emergency 

review of the Paperwork Reduction Act 

Requirements associated with the 2009 

American Housing Survey—New 

Orleans Metropolitan Sample. This 

document provides notice that this 

emergency request is necessary at this 

time because it is essential to provide a 

periodic measure of the size and 

composition of the housing inventory 

for the select New Orleans metropolitan 

area. In addition, the New Orleans 

sample will provide information about 

people who rebuilt or rehabilitated their 

homes as a result of Hurricane Katrina, 

or are still in the process of renovating 

their homes; people who were living in 

New Orleans pre-Katrina, but who have 

moved to a different address in the New 

Orleans metro; and property that existed 

pre-Katrina, but has not been restored or 

where a person is living in a trailer on 

a lot. Title 12, United States Code, 

Sections 1701Z–1, 1701Z–2(g), and 

1710Z–10a mandates the collection of 

this information. The 2009 American 

Housing Survey New Orleans 

Metropolitan sample is similar to 

previous American Housing Surveys 

(AHS) in that it collects data on subjects 

such as the amount and types of 

changes in the inventory, the physical 

condition of the inventory, the 

characteristics of the occupants, the 

persons eligible for and beneficiaries of 

assisted housing by race and ethnicity, 

and the number and characteristics of 

vacancies. Policy analysts, program 

managers, budget analysts, and 

Congressional staff use AHS data to 

advise executive and legislative 

branches about housing conditions and 

the suitability of public policy 

initiatives. Academic researchers and 

private organizations also use AHS data 

in efforts of specific interest and 

concern to their respective 

communities. The Department of 

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 

needs the AHS data for two important 

uses. 

1. With the data, policy analysts can 

monitor the interaction among housing 

needs, demand and supply, as well as 

changes in housing conditions and 

costs, to aid in the development of 

housing policies and the design of 

housing programs appropriate for 

different target groups, such as first-time 

home buyers and the elderly. 

2. With the data, HUD can evaluate, 

monitor, and design HUD programs to 

improve efficiency and effectiveness. 

OMB Control Number: 2528–Pending. 

Agency Form Numbers: Computerized 

Versions of AHS–2161, AHS–22/62 and 

AHS–23/63. 

Members of the Affected Public: 

Households. 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

responses, frequency of responses, and 

hours of responses: The number of 

respondents is 5,400 and the number of 

responses is 4,644. The estimated total 

number of burden hours needed to 

prepare the information collection is 

3,654; the frequency of response is once. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

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

Dated: June 3, 2009.

Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods 

from China; Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(Commission) determines, pursuant to 

sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 19 

U.S.C. 1673b(a)) (the Act), that there is 

a reasonable indication that an industry 

in the United States is materially 

injured by reason of imports from China 

of certain oil country tubular goods 

(OCTG) provided for in subheadings 

7304.29, 7305.20 and 7306.29 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States. OCTG imported from 

China are alleged to be subsidized and 

sold in the United States at less than fair 

value (LTFV). 

Commencement of Final Phase 

Investigations 

Pursuant to section 207.18 of the 

Commission’s rules, the Commission 

also gives notice of the commencement 

of the final phase of its investigations. 

The Commission will issue a final phase 

notice of scheduling, which will be 

published in the Federal Register as 

provided in section 207.21 of the 

Commission’s rules, upon notice from 

the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) of affirmative preliminary 

determinations in the investigations 

under sections 703(b) and 733(b) of the 

Act, or, if the preliminary 

determinations are negative, upon 

notice of affirmative final 

determinations in those investigations 

under sections 705(a) and 735(a) of the 

Act. Parties that filed entries of 

appearance in the preliminary phase of 

the investigations need not enter a 

separate appearance for the final phase 

of the investigations. Industrial users, 

and, if the merchandise under 

investigation is sold at the retail level, 

representative consumer organizations,

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

Employment Standards Administration
