sampling operation. We are not aware of
other systematic coding issues that need
to be addressed via this refile.
The primary goal is to produce
reliable State level estimates for each
NAICS industry. We will use a stratified
probability-proportionate-to-size (PPS)
sample strategy for selecting the sample
of single-establishment firms. The
population of eligible singleestablishment firms will be partitioned
into State by NAICS strata. Within each
stratum, each establishment will be
assigned a probability of selection that
is a function of its relative size within
the stratum (payroll) and a stratumspecific reliability constraint. The larger
establishments in a stratum may have
probabilities equal to 1.00. Within each
stratum, an independent sample will be
selected. We will use a fixed sample
size selection method for selecting the
sample. This technique considerably
improves the reliability of the resulting
survey estimates by eliminating the
variability associated with a variable
sample size. The impact of the multiestablishment firms within each stratum
will be taken into account in deriving
the target sample size from the singleestablishment firm population. We
estimate that the mail canvass for the
2007 construction sector will include
approximately 119,000 establishments
of single-establishment firms.

An organization having made such an
affirmation to NIST may accredit either
fastener testing laboratories or quality
system registrars for fastener
manufacturers in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Fastener
Quality Act. NIST will solicit
information declarations from U.S. and
foreign private accreditation bodies. The
information collected will enable NIST
to compile a list of accreditation bodies
able to provide accreditations meeting
all the requirements of the Act and of
the procedures, 15 CFR part 280.
Section 10 of the Act requires NIST to
accept petitions from persons
publishing a document setting forth
guidance or requirements providing
equal or greater rigor and reliability
compared to ISO/IEC Guide 17025

17011 or ISO/IEC Guide 62. The
petitions to consider a document as an
alternative to one of the ISO/IEC

Director of NIST for use provided the
document provides equal or greater
rigor and reliability as compared to the
ISO/IEC document.

management programs. CSC is seeking a
new clearance to conduct data
collection activities associated with the
evaluation of the fellowship program.
The evaluation is designed to assess the
effectiveness of the fellowship and its
impact on state coastal zone programs to
address high priority coastal issues. The
results of the evaluation will provide
information on the success of the
Coastal Management Fellowship
Program in meeting its goals to train
young professionals entering the coastal
management field and to help states
address high priority coastal issues.
Four types of respondents are
included in the evaluation: Fellows
(past and current), finalists to the
fellowship (past and current), state
coastal zone program mentors, and
partner organizations. Current and past
fellows will complete an electronic
survey that assesses both their
fellowship experience and subsequent
professional goals/experiences. Also,
current and past finalists will complete
a telephone interview that evaluates
both their experiences applying to the
fellowship program and subsequent
professional goals/experiences. State
coastal zone program mentors will
complete an electronic survey that
assesses their experiences with the
fellowship program and the impact of
the program on their state coastal zone
program. In addition, partner
organizations will complete an
electronic survey that assesses their
experiences with the fellowship and
how the fellowship has impacted CSC.
