FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or copies of the information collection instrument(s) and instructions should be directed to Shannon Burnett, U.S. Census Bureau, FOB 3, Room 3340, Washington, DC 20233–8400, at (301) 763–3806. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION I. Abstract The Census Bureau plans to request clearance for the collection of data concerning the Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC), formerly known as the Annual Demographic Survey, to be conducted in conjunction with the February, March, and April CPS. The Census Bureau has conducted this supplement annually for over 50 years. The Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Department of Health and Human Services sponsor this supplement. In the ASEC, we collect information on work experience, personal income, noncash benefits, health insurance coverage, and migration. The work experience items in the ASEC provide a unique measure of the dynamic nature of the labor force as viewed over a oneyear period. These items produce statistics that show movements in and out of the labor force by measuring the number of periods of unemployment experienced by people, the number of different employers worked for during the year, the principal reasons for unemployment, and part-/full-time attachment to the labor force. We can make indirect measurements of discouraged workers and others with a casual attachment to the labor market. The income data from the ASEC are used by social planners, economists, government officials, and market researchers to gauge the economic wellbeing of the country as a whole and selected population groups of interest. Government planners and researchers use these data to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of various assistance programs. Market researchers use these data to identify and isolate potential customers. Social planners use these data to forecast economic conditions and to identify special groups that seem to be especially sensitive to economic fluctuations. Economists use ASEC data to determine the effects of various economic forces, such as inflation, recession, recovery, and so on, and their differential effects on various population groups. A prime statistic of interest is the classification of people in poverty and VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:19 Aug 04, 2006 Jkt 208001 how this measurement has changed over time for various groups. Researchers evaluate ASEC income data not only to determine poverty levels but also to determine whether government programs are reaching eligible households. Congressional passage of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), or Title XXI, led to a mandate from Congress, in 1999, that the sample size for the CPS, and specifically the ASEC, be increased to a level whereby more reliable estimates can be derived for the number of individuals participating in this program at the state level. By administering the ASEC in February, March, and April, rather than only in March as in the past, we have been able to achieve this goal. The total number of respondents has not been upwardly affected by this change. II. Method of Collection The ASEC information will be collected by both personal visit and telephone interviews in conjunction with the regular February, March and April CPS interviewing. All interviews are conducted using computer-assisted interviewing. III. Data OMB Number: 0607–0354. Form Number: There are no forms. We conduct all interviewing on computers. Type of Review: Regular. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Estimated Number of Respondents: 78,000. Estimated Time Per Response: 25 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 32,500. Estimated Total Annual Cost: There are no costs to the respondents other than their time to answer the CPS questions. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Section 182; and Title 29, United States Code, Sections 1–9. IV. Request for Comments Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden (including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Denial of Export Privileges of Asher Karni On August 4, 2005, in the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, Asher Karni (‘‘Karni’’ or ‘‘Respondent’’) was convicted of violating the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (currently codified at 50 U.S.C. app. §§ 2401–2420 (2000)) (the ‘‘Act’’).1 Karni was found guilty of willfully exporting and attempting to export two oscilloscopes and triggered spark gaps from the United States to Pakistan via South Africa without having first obtained the required export licenses from the Department of Commerce. 1 From August 21, 1994 through November 12, 2000, the Act was in lapse. During that period, the President, through Executive Order 12924, which had been extended by successive Presidential Notices, the last of which was August 3, 2000 (3 CFR, 2000 Comp. 397 (2001)), continued the Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. §§ 1701–1706 (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’). On November 13, 2000, the Act was reauthorized and it remained in effect through August 20, 2001. Since August 21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse and the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), as extended by the Notice of August 2, 2005 (70 FR 45273, August 5, 2005), has continued the Regulations in effect under IEEPA.

In addition, section 750.8 of the Regulations states that BIS’s Office of Exporter Services may revoke any BIS licenses previously issued in which the person had an interest in at the time of this conviction. I have received notice of Karni’s conviction for violating the Act, and have provided notice and an opportunity for Karni to make a written submission to the Bureau of Industry and Security as provided in section 766.25 of the Regulations. I have also received a written submission from Karni and have decided, following consultations with the Office of Export Enforcement, including its Director, to deny Karni’s export privileges under the Regulations for a period of 10 years from the date of Karni’s conviction. B. Denial of Export Privileges of Related Persons In addition, pursuant to Sections 766.25(h) and 766.23 of the Regulations, the Director, Office of Exporter Services, in consultation with the Director, Office of Export Enforcement, may take action to name persons related to the Respondent by ownership, control, position of responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of trade or business in order to prevent evasion of the Order. I gave notice to Parkland PME Corporation (‘‘Pakland’’) and Humayun Khan (‘‘Khan’’) by Federal Express, notifying them that their export privileges under the Regulations could be denied for up to 10 years as BIS believes that these entities are related to Karni and including them in the Karni Order is necessary to prevent evasion.

Order Denying Export Privileges

A. Denial of Export Privileges of Asher Karni

    On August 4, 2005, in the U.S. District Court in the District of 
Columbia, Asher Karni (``Karni'' or ``Respondent'') was convicted of 
violating the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (currently 
codified at 50 U.S.C. app. Sec. Sec.  2401-2420 (2000)) (the 
``Act'').\1\ Karni was found guilty of willfully exporting and 
attempting to export two oscilloscopes and triggered spark gaps from 
the United States to Pakistan via South Africa without having first 
obtained the required export licenses from the Department of Commerce.

[[Page 44613]]

Karni was sentenced to three years imprisonment and two years of 
supervised release following imprisonment. He is scheduled to be 
released on August 12, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ From August 21, 1994 through November 12, 2000, the Act was 
in lapse. During that period, the President, through Executive Order 
12924, which had been extended by successive Presidential Notices, 
the last of which was August 3, 2000 (3 CFR, 2000 Comp. 397 (2001)), 
continued the Regulations in effect under the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. Sec. Sec.  1701-1706 
(2000)) (``IEEPA''). On November 13, 2000, the Act was reauthorized 
and it remained in effect through August 20, 2001. Since August 21, 
2001, the Act has been in lapse and the President, through Executive 
Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), as 
extended by the Notice of August 2, 2005 (70 FR 45273, August 5, 
2005), has continued the Regulations in effect under IEEPA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 11(h) of the Act and Section 766.25 of the Export 
Administration Regulations (``Regulations'') \2\ provide, in pertinent 
part, that ``([t]he Director of Exporter Services, in consultation with 
the Director of the Office of Export Enforcement, may deny export 
privileges of any person who has been convicted of a violation of * * * 
the Act,'' for a period not to exceed 10 years from the date of 
conviction. 15 CFR Sections 766.25(a) and (d). In addition, section 
750.8 of the Regulations states that BIS's Office of Exporter Services 
may revoke any BIS licenses previously issued in which the person had 
an interest in at the time of this conviction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Regulations are currently codified at 15 CFR Parts 730-
744 (2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have received notice of Karni's conviction for violating the Act, 
and have provided notice and an opportunity for Karni to make a written 
submission to the Bureau of Industry and Security as provided in 
section 766.25 of the Regulations. I have also received a written 
submission from Karni and have decided, following consultations with 
the Office of Export Enforcement, including its Director, to deny 
Karni's export privileges under the Regulations for a period of 10 
years from the date of Karni's conviction.

B. Denial of Export Privileges of Related Persons

    In addition, pursuant to Sections 766.25(h) and 766.23 of the 
Regulations, the Director, Office of Exporter Services, in consultation 
with the Director, Office of Export Enforcement, may take action to 
name persons related to the Respondent by ownership, control, position 
of responsibility, affiliation, or other connection in the conduct of 
trade or business in order to prevent evasion of the Order. I gave 
notice to Parkland PME Corporation (``Pakland'') and Humayun Khan 
(``Khan'') by Federal Express, notifying them that their export 
privileges under the Regulations could be denied for up to 10 years as 
BIS believes that these entities are related to Karni and including 
them in the Karni Order is necessary to prevent evasion. The basis for 
naming these entities to the Karni order include the fact that Karni, 
and his company, Top Cape Technology, acted in concert with Khan and 
Pakland to divert U.S. origin goods to Pakistan.
    Having received no submission from Khan and Pakland, I have 
decided, following consultations with the Office of Export Enforcement, 
including its Director, to name Khan and Pakland as related persons to 
the Karni Denial Order, thereby denying their export privileges for 10 
years from the date of Karni's conviction.
    I have also decided to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the 
Act or Regulations in which Karni, Khan and Pakland had an interest at 
the time of Karni's conviction. The 10-year denial period ends on 
August 4, 2015.
    Accordingly, it is hereby Ordered:
