SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Census of Aquaculture.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0237.
Type of Request: Intent to revise and
reinstate an information collection.
Abstract: The 2005 Census of
Aquaculture will encompass all
operations in each State that produced
and sold $1,000 or more of aquaculture
or aquaculture products during 2005.
The census will provide a
comprehensive inventory of aquaculture
farms and their production: Data on the
number of farms, acreage, method of
production, production and sales by
aquaculture species, and sales outlets.
Census data are used by farmers, their
representatives, the government, and
many other groups concerned with the
aquaculture industry to evaluate new
programs, disburse Federal funds,
analyze market trends, and help
determine the economic impact
aquaculture has on the economy. The
aquaculture census provides the only
source of dependable, comparable data
by State. Response to the census is
mandatory. The National Agricultural
Statistics Service will use the
information collected only for statistical
purposes and will publish the data only
as tabulated totals.
These data will be collected under the
authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204(a).
Individually identifiable data collected
under this authority are governed by
Section 1770 of the Food Security Act
of 1985, 7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires
USDA to afford strict confidentiality to
non-aggregated data provided by
respondents.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 30 minutes per
positive response, 10 minutes per
screen-out, and 2 minutes per refusal.
Respondents: Farms.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
9,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 4,500 hours.
Copies of this information collection
and related instructions can be obtained
without charge from Ginny McBride,

Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Docket 17–2005]
Foreign-Trade Zone 17—Kansas City,
MO; Application for Export
Manufacturing Authority; Cereal
Ingredients, Inc. (Food Flavoring
Particulates and Mixes); Leavenworth,
KS
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Greater Kansas City
Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ
17, pursuant to § 400.32(b)(1) of the
Board’s regulations (15 CFR part 400),
on behalf of Cereal Ingredients, Inc.
(CII), for authority to manufacture food
flavoring particulates and mixes for
export under FTZ procedures within
FTZ 17. The application was submitted
pursuant to the provisions of the
Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations
of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was
formally filed on April 26, 2005.
The proposed activity would occur at
CII’s manufacturing facility located at
4720 South 13th Street within the
Leavenworth Area Business Center (Site
5) in Leavenworth, Kansas. The facility
(32 employees/8 acres/40,000 sq. ft.,
plus 40,000 sq. ft. expansion area) is
used to produce flavoring particulates
and swirl mixes (HTSUS 1901.90) for
food products, dairy products and baked
goods. The food particulates add flavor,
texture and color to baked goods,
breakfast cereals, ice cream, and
nutritional foods. The activity
conducted under FTZ procedures would
involve manufacturing of food
particulates and swirl mixes using
domestic and foreign ingredients for
export only. Ingredients purchased from
abroad would include: Cane sugar, beet
sugar, cocoa, cinnamon soy protein
concentrate and isolate, milk protein
concentrate and isolate, and textured
protein concentrate. None of the foreignorigin sugar and dairy products which
are subject to U.S. import quotas would
be entered for domestic consumption,
and all such products would be reexported from the zone.
FTZ procedures would exempt CII
from quota requirements and Customs

Jkt 205001
duty payments on the foreign
ingredients used in the proposed export
FTZ production. Duties would be
deferred or reduced on foreign
production equipment admitted to FTZ
17 until which time it becomes
operational. The application indicates
that FTZ manufacturing authority for
export production would help improve
the facility’s international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff
has been designated examiner to
investigate the application and report to
the Board.
Public comment on the application is
invited from interested parties.
Submissions (original and three copies)
shall be addressed to the Board’s
Executive Secretary at the following
addresses:
1. Submissions via Express/Package
Delivery Services: Foreign-Trade Zones
Board, U.S. Department of Commerce,
Franklin Court Building–4100W, 1099

[Docket 18–2005]
Foreign-Trade Zone 183—Austin, TX,
Application for Subzone, Samsung
Austin Semiconductor, LP
(Semiconductor Memory Devices),
Austin, TX
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Foreign-Trade Zone of
Central Texas, Inc., grantee of FTZ 183,
requesting special-purpose subzone
status with export-only manufacturing
PO 00000

authority (semiconductor memory
devices) for the facilities of Samsung
Austin Semiconductor, LP (Samsung),
located in Austin, Texas. The
application was submitted pursuant to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR part
400). It was formally filed on April 28,
2005.
The facilities for which subzone
status is proposed are located at three
sites (192.1 acres total; 876,453 sq. ft. of
enclosed space): Site #1—Samsung
Austin Semiconductor facilities (186.1
acres; 764,453 sq. ft.)—located at 12100
Samsung Boulevard in Austin, Texas;
Site #2—HISCO facilities (4.1 acres;
62,000 sq. ft.)—located at 8330 Cross
Park Drive in Austin; and Site #3—
Three Way Inc. facilities (1.9 acres;
50,000 sq. ft.)—located at 4009
Commercial Center Drive in Austin.
The facilities (approximately 950
employees) may be used under FTZ
procedures for manufacturing,
processing, warehousing, and
distributing for export purposes only
semiconductors and related devices. For
Samsung’s current manufacturing,
foreign-sourced materials account for
approximately 26 percent of finishedproduct value. The application lists the
categories of material inputs which may
be sourced from abroad, including
wafers (HTSUS category 3818.00),
chemicals (2809.20, 2826.11, 2846.10,
3814.00) and photo resist (3707.90).
Zone procedures would exempt
Samsung from Customs duty payments
on foreign components used in export
production. Samsung would also be able
to avoid duty on foreign inputs which
become scrap/waste, estimated at no
more than five percent of imported
inputs. Samsung may also realize
logistical/procedural and other benefits
from subzone status. All of the abovecited savings from zone procedures
could help improve the plant’s
international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff
has been designated examiner to
investigate the application and report to
the Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at one of
the following addresses:
1. Submissions Via Express/Package
Delivery Services: Foreign-TradeZones Board, U.S. Department of
Commerce, Franklin Court Building—
Suite 4100W, 1099 14th St., NW.,
Washington, DC 20005; or
2. Submissions Via the U.S. Postal
