FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or copies of the information collection instrument(s) and instructions should be directed to John Trimble, Bureau of the Census, Room 2682–FOB 3, Washington, DC 20233–6500, (301) 763– 2703. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The Census Bureau plans to expand the currently approved Annual Trade Survey (ATS) to include agents, brokers and electronic markets (AGBR). The expanded survey will include a selected sample of firms operating offices facilitating sales between businesses in the United States. Data will be collected annually on sales, commissions, value of sales arranged for others, e-commerce sales, and operating expenses. Initially, we will request two years of data for the AGBR. Afterwards, we will request one year of data. The expanded survey will be mailed to a sample of firms on a company basis to reduce respondent burden. In order to set up reporting arrangements for companies we will contact them by phone and by mail. We will request data for calendar year. Two report forms will be developed to collect AGBR data. Two forms are needed to accommodate both large and small firms. The mailings will be conducted in January following the survey year requested. Respondents will have thirty days to complete the report form before a follow-up form is sent. Later, as needed, an additional follow-up form will be sent, and a telephone follow-up will be conducted. This expansion of the ATS survey is being conducted to obtain a missing component of wholesale data. The current ATS collects data for merchant wholesalers, and MSBO, but does not obtain data for AGBRs. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has made repeated requests for these data that they consider vital to accurately measuring sales for wholesale trade, and important inputs to BEA’s preparation of National Income and Product accounts and their annual input-output tables. This expansion to ATS will provide annual data for the entire VerDate jul<14>2003 16:28 Feb 22, 2005 Jkt 205001 wholesale sector. Data will be published at the United States summary level for selected wholesale industries. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE II.

Application for Permit File No. 1522 Kenneth Lohmann: This applicant proposes to conduct two studies. The first would study the magnetic orientation of hatchlings migrating offshore. Loggerhead and green sea turtle hatchlings would have a lightweight float attached to them and they would be tracked by boat as they migrate offshore. At the conclusion of each test, researchers would recapture each turtle to remove the experimental gear and then release the turtle so that it could continue its migration. The second study would investigate the navigation of adult loggerhead sea turtles. The study would have two experiments. The first would involve simple displacement involving releases at sites that lie in various directions and distances from the nesting beach so that the tracks could be analyzed in the context of magnetic topography and other potential cues. The second would involve determining if disrupting the magnetic field around a displaced turtle impairs its ability to home. Two groups of turtles would be released at the same location, one with magnets or magnetic coils attached to their heads, the other with non-magnetic brass bars of equivalent size and weight attached to their heads (the control). Turtles would be tracked using a floating instrument attached to the turtle by means of a six meter long tether consisting of a 7–day corrodible link attached to a meter-long thin, stiff rod and five meters of very stiff stainless steel fishing leader. While the tether set-up would be removed on the beach after the turtle returns to nest, in the event that the researchers are unable to recapture the turtle on a nesting beach they are requesting authorization from NMFS to recapture her at sea and remove the tether equipment.
