Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS). Form Number(s): HVS–600, BC– 1428RV, CPS–263(L). Agency Approval Number: 0607– 0179. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Burden: 3,910 hours. Number of Respondents: 6,518. Avg Hours Per Response: 3 minutes. Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau seeks OMB clearance for the collection of demographic information in the Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS). The HVS has been conducted since 1956 and serves a broad array of data users. The Census Bureau collects the HVS data for a sample of vacant housing units identified in the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) sample. The HVS provides the only quarterly statistics on rental vacancy rates, and home ownership rates for the United States, the four census regions, inside vs. outside metropolitan areas (MAs), the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the 100 largest MAs. Private and public sector organizations use these rates extensively to gauge and analyze the housing market. In addition, the rental vacancy rate is a component of the index of leading economic indicators published by the Department of Commerce. Several other government agencies use these data on a continuing basis. For example, the Bureau of Economic Analysis uses the HVS data in calculating consumer expenditures for housing as a component of the gross domestic product; the Office of Thrift Supervision uses these data to project mortgage demands; and the Department of Housing and Urban Development relies on the HVS data to measure the adequacy of the supply of rental and homeowner units. The National Association of Home Builders, the National Association of Realtors, the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Reserve Board, the Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) are among the many users in the private sector who routinely use the HVS data in making policy decisions relating to the housing market. In addition, investment firms use the HVS data to analyze market trends and for economic forecasting. Affected Public: Individuals or households.

SUMMARY: On April 7, 2005, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on glycine from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). See Glycine From the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 17649 (April 7, 2005) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). The administrative review covers the period March 1, 2003, through February 29, 2004. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes in the margin calculation. Therefore, the final results differ from the Preliminary Results. The final weighted–average dumping margin for the reviewed company is listed below in the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of Review.’’ AGENCY: EFFECTIVE DATE: VerDate jul<14>2003 August 12, 2005. 17:14 Aug 11, 2005 Jkt 205001 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carrie Blozy at (202) 482–5403; AD/CVD Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On April 7, 2005, the Department published in the Federal Register the Preliminary Results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on glycine from the PRC. See Preliminary Results. The administrative review covers the period March 1, 2003, through February 29, 2004. The review covers one manufacturer/exporter of subject merchandise, Baoding Mantong Fine Chemistry Co., Ltd. (‘‘Baoding Mantong’’). Since the publication of the Preliminary Results, the following events have occurred. The Department invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. On April 25, 2005, Baoding Mantong submitted a Submission of Publicly Available Data For Use As Surrogate Values (‘‘April 2005 Surrogate Value Submission’’). On May 9, 2005, the Department received a timely filed case brief from Baoding Mantong (‘‘Case Brief’’). The Department did not receive a case brief from petitioners. The Department did not receive any rebuttal briefs. On May 9, 2005, the respondent submitted a request for a hearing. On June 15, 2005, the respondent submitted a letter to withdraw its request for a hearing. Separate Rates Baoding Mantong has requested a separate, company–specific antidumping duty rate. In the Preliminary Results, the Department found that Baoding Mantong met the criteria for the application of a separate antidumping duty rate. The Department has not received any other information since the Preliminary Results which would warrant reconsideration of our separate–rate determination with respect to Baoding Mantong. Therefore, we determine that Baoding Mantong should be assigned an individual dumping margin in this administrative review. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case brief by the party in this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum (‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum’’) from Barbara E. Tillman, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to Joseph A. Spetrini, Acting Assistant PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Secretary for Import Administration, dated August 5, 2005, which is hereby adopted in this notice. A list of the issues which the party has raised and to which the Department has responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as an Appendix. Parties can find a complete discussion of all issues raised in this review and the corresponding recommendations in this public memorandum, which is on file in the Central Records Unit (‘‘CRU’’), Room B–099, of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Web at http:/ /ia.ita.doc.gov. The paper copy and electronic version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content. The Department has now completed this review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Scope of the Order The product covered by the order is glycine, which is a free–flowing crystalline material, like salt or sugar. Glycine is produced at varying levels of purity and is used as a sweetener/taste enhancer, a buffering agent, reabsorbable amino acid, chemical intermediate, and a metal complexing agent. This order covers glycine of all purity levels. Glycine is currently classified under subheading 2922.49.4020 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under the order is dispositive. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on information the Department received after the Preliminary Results, we have made certain changes to the margin calculation for Baoding Mantong. For a complete discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Specifically, the Department has changed its selection of a surrogate value for the input of ammonia for the final results. See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 1. The Department has also changed its selection of the surrogate companies to be used to value the financial ratios of overhead, selling, general, and administrative (‘‘SG&A’’), and profit for the final results. See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 2. E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM 12AUN1
