SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
U.S.C., is the primary source of facts
about the structure and functioning of
the Nation’s economy and features
unique industry and geographic detail.
Economic census statistics serve as part
of the framework for the national
accounts and provide essential
information for government, business
and the general public.
Prior to conducting the 2007
Economic Census, the Census Bureau
needs to collect a North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS)
code from selected construction
establishments. Those establishments
selected have a partially assigned
NAICS code on the Census Bureau’s
Business Register. Collecting this
classification information will ensure
the Economic Census mailing list for the
construction sector is complete and
accurate prior to the mailing of the 2007
Economic Census. As a result of this
collection, the Census Bureau will be
able to select an efficient sample, thus
minimizing the reporting burden that
we impose on construction
establishments.
Additionally, this questionnaire will
be used to collect a complete and
reliable NAICS code for partially
classified manufacturing and mining
establishments. This will ensure these
establishments are tabulated in the
correct detailed industry for the 2007
Economic Census. Many of these
establishments will not receive any
further economic census mailings
because of their small size, and this will
be our only chance to obtain this
detailed industry classification.
Economic data for these cases could be
lost if this data were not collected.
The failure to collect this
classification information will have an
adverse effect on the quality and
usefulness of economic statistics and
severely hamper the Census Bureau’s
ability to effectively classify
establishments under NAICS in the
Economic Census and other survey
programs.
The Census Bureau is not requesting
any economic data in this collection.
The collection of this NAICS
information will greatly reduce
processing costs and ease reporting
burden for the 2007 Economic Census
data collection.
I. Abstract

Foreign–Trade Zone 202- Los Angeles,
California, Request for Processing
Authority, Citizen Watch Company of
America, Inc. (Watches)
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Port of Los Angeles,
California, grantee of FTZ 202,
requesting authority on behalf of Citizen
Watch Company of America, Inc.
(Citizen) for the processing and
packaging of watches under FTZ
procedures within Site 7 of FTZ 202 in
Torrance, California. 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
October 19, 2005.
Citizen operates a distribution facility
(182 employees) for the warehousing,
packaging and distribution of watches.
The company’s application indicates
that the duty rates for finished watches
range from duty–free to 6 percent (ad
valorem equivalent). Foreign–sourced
inputs include imported gift boxes,
watch bands, watch cases and other
materials with duty rates ranging from
duty–free to 20 percent.
This application requests authority to
allow Citizen to conduct activities
under FTZ procedures, which would
exempt the company from Customs duty
payments on the foreign components
used in export activity. On its domestic
sales, the company would be able to
choose the duty rate that applies to
finished products for the foreign
components noted above. Citizen’s
application indicates that the savings
from zone procedures could help
improve the company’s international
competitiveness.
Public comment on the application is
invited from interested parties.
Submissions (original and three copies)
shall be addressed to the Board’s
