SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request 

clearance from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for the 

collection of basic demographic 

information on the Current Population 

Survey (CPS) beginning in August 2018. 

The current clearance expires July 31, 

2018. 

The CPS has been the source of 

official government statistics on 

employment and unemployment for 

over 60 years. The Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS) and the Census Bureau 

jointly sponsor the basic monthly 

survey. The Census Bureau also 

prepares and conducts all the field 

work. At the OMB’s request, the Census 

Bureau and the BLS divide the 

clearance request in order to reflect the 

joint sponsorship and funding of the 

CPS program. The BLS submits a 

separate clearance request for the 

portion of the CPS that collects labor 

force information for the civilian 

noninstitutional population. Some of 

the information within that portion 

includes employment status, number of 

hours worked, job search activities, 

earnings, duration of unemployment, 

and the industry and occupation 

classification of the job held the 

previous week. The justification that 

follows is in support of the demographic 

data. 

The demographic information 

collected in the CPS provides a unique 

set of data on selected characteristics for 

the civilian noninstitutional population. 

Some of the demographic information 

we collect are age, marital status, sex, 

Armed Forces status, education, race, 

origin, and family income. We use these 

data in conjunction with other data, 

particularly the monthly labor force 

data, as well as periodic supplement 

data. We also use these data 

independently for internal analytic 

research and for evaluation of other 

surveys. In addition, we use these data 

as a control to produce accurate 

estimates of other personal 

characteristics. 

II. Method of Collection 

The CPS basic demographic 

information is collected from individual 

households by both personal visit and 

telephone interviews each month. All 

interviews are conducted using 

computer-assisted interviewing. 

Households in the CPS are in sample for 

four consecutive months, and for the 

same four months the following year. 

This is called a 4–8–4 rotation pattern; 

households are in sample for four 

months, in a resting period for eight 

months, and then in sample again for 

four months. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0049. 

Form Number(s): There are no forms. 

All interviews are conducted on 

computers. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

59,000 per month. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 17,700. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: There is no cost to the 

respondents other than their time. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. 

Sections 8(b), 141, and 182. 

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;

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: In response to requests from 

interested parties, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) is 

conducting an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel bar (SSB) from India. The period 

of review (POR) is February 1, 2016, 

through January 31, 2017. This review 

covers two producers or exporters of the 

subject merchandise: Ambica Steels 

Limited (Ambica), and Bhansali Bright 

Bars Pvt. Ltd. (Bhansali). We 

preliminarily determine that Bhansali 

and Ambica had no shipments of 

subject merchandise during the POR. 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable: November 7, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is SSB. SSB means articles of stainless 

steel in straight lengths that have been 

either hot-rolled, forged, turned, colddrawn, cold-rolled or otherwise coldfinished, or ground, having a uniform 

solid cross section along their whole 

length in the shape of circles, segments 

of circles, ovals, rectangles (including 

squares), triangles, hexagons, octagons, 

or other convex polygons. SSB includes 

cold-finished SSBs that are turned or 

ground in straight lengths, whether 

produced from hot-rolled bar or from 

straightened and cut rod or wire, and 

reinforcing bars that have indentations, 

ribs, grooves, or other deformations 

produced during the rolling process. 

Except as specified above, the term 

does not include stainless steel semifinished products, cut-to-length flatrolled products (i.e., cut-to-length rolled 

products which if less than 4.75 mm in 

thickness have a width measuring at 

least 10 times the thickness, or if 4.75 

mm or more in thickness having a width 

which exceeds 150 mm and measures at 

least twice the thickness), wire (i.e., 

cold-formed products in coils, of any 

uniform solid cross section along their 

whole length, which do not conform to 

the definition of flat-rolled products), 

and angles, shapes, and sections. 

Imports of these products are 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

7222.10.00, 7222.11.00, 7222.19.00, 

7222.20.00, 7222.30.00 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). 

Although the HTS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope of the Order is dispositive. 

Background 

Carpenter Technology Corporation, 

Crucible Industries LLC, Electralloy, a 

Division of G,O, Carlson, Inc., North 

American Stainless, Universal Stainless 

& Alloy Products, Inc., and Valbruna 

Slater Stainless, Inc. (the petitioners) 

timely requested an administrative 

review of Ambica, Bhansali, and 

Ambica Stainless Steel Limited (now 

known as Aamor Inox Limited) (ASSL).1

As such, the Department published in 

the Federal Register a notice of 

initiation of this administrative review 

of the antidumping duty order on SSB 

from India for Ambica and Bhansali.2

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Department will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation. The petitioners 

timely withdrew their request for review 

of ASSL.3 No other party requested a 

review of this producer/exporter. 

Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), the Department is 

rescinding this review of the AD order 

on SSB from the PRC with respect to 

ASSL. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

We received timely certifications from 

Bhansali and Ambica reporting that they 

had no shipments of the subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR and requested that the 

Department rescind the review with 

respect to it.4 As detailed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum, the 

Department preliminarily determines 

that both Bhansali and Ambica had no 

shipments during the POR.5

Consistent with our practice, we will 

complete the review and issue 

appropriate instructions to CBP based 

on the final results of this review.6

Public Comment 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs no later than 30 days after the 

date of publication of the preliminary 

results.7 Rebuttal briefs, limited to the 

issues raised in the case briefs, may be 

filed no later than five days after the 

submission of case briefs.8 Parties who 

submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in 

this proceeding are encouraged to

statement of the issue; (2) a brief 

summary of the argument; and (3) a 

table of authorities.9

All submissions to the Department 

must be filed electronically using 

ACCESS, and must also be served on 

interested parties.10 An electronically 

filed document must be received 

successfully in its entirety by the 

Department’s electronic records system,
