Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 11 / Thursday, January 18, 2007 / Notices
Based on the information submitted by
Tradewinds Furniture and Tradewinds
International regarding the change in
name and status of Nanhai Jiantai and
Fortune Glory, the Department
determines that sufficient good cause
exists to conduct a changed
circumstances review.
In a changed circumstances review
involving a successor–in-interest
determination, the Department typically
examines several factors including, but
not limited to, changes in: (1)
Management; (2) production facilities;
(3) supplier relationships; and (4)
customer base. See Certain Cut–toLength Carbon Steel Plate from
Romania: Initiation and Preliminary
Results of Changed Circumstances
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 70 FR 22847 (May 3, 2005).
While no single factor or combination of
factors will necessarily be dispositive,
the Department generally will consider
the new company to be the successor to
the predecessor if the resulting
operations are essentially the same as
those of the predecessor company. See,
e.g., Notice of Initiation of Antidumping
Duty Changed Circumstances Review:
Certain Forged Stainless Steel Flanges
from India, 71 FR 327 (January 4, 2006).
Thus, if the record demonstrates that,
with respect to the production and sale
of the subject merchandise, the new
company operates as the same business
entity as the predecessor company, the
Department may assign the new
company the cash deposit rate of its
predecessor. See, e.g., Fresh and Chilled
Atlantic Salmon from Norway: Final
Results of Changed Circumstances
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 64 FR 9979, 9980 (March 1,
1999).
Based on the information provided in
their submissions, Tradewinds
Furniture and Tradewinds International
have provided sufficient evidence to
warrant a review to determine if they
are the successors–in-interest to Nanhai
Jiantai and Fortune Glory. Therefore,
pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Act
and 19 C.F.R. 351.216(b), we are
initiating a changed circumstances
review. However, although Tradewinds
Furniture and Tradewinds International
submitted documentation relating to
their name and status change from
Nanhai Jiantai and Fortune Glory, they
did not provide certain supporting
documentation for the elements listed
above. Accordingly, the Department
does not consider the information
sufficient to make a preliminary finding
and has determined that it would be
inappropriate to expedite this action by
combining the preliminary results of
review with this notice of initiation, as
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
permitted under 19 C.F.R.
351.221(c)(3)(ii). As a result, the
Department is not issuing preliminary
results for this changed circumstances
review at this time.
Public Comment
Interested parties may submit
comments that the Department will take
into account in the preliminary results
of this changed circumstances review.
The due date for filing any such
comments is no later than 15 days from
publication of this notice. Responses to
those comments may be submitted no
later than seven days from submission
of the comments. All written comments
must be submitted in accordance with
19 C.F.R. 351.303. The Department will
issue questionnaires requesting factual
information for this changed
circumstances review, and will publish
in the Federal Register a notice of
preliminary results of the changed
circumstances review, in accordance
with 19 C.F.R. 351.221(b)(4) and
351.221(c)(3)(i). This notice will set
forth the factual and legal conclusions
upon which our preliminary results are
based and a description of any action
proposed based on those results.
Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 351.221(b)(4)(ii),
interested parties will have an
opportunity to comment on the
preliminary results. The Department
will issue its final results of this
changed circumstances review in
accordance with the time limits set forth
in 19 C.F.R. 351.216(e). This notice is
published in accordance with section
751(b)(1) of the Act and 19 C.F.R.
351.221(b).

proposed collection of information from
persons who may participate in
Consumer Focus Groups. The

before requesting approval of this
collection of information from the Office
of Management and Budget.
DATES: Written comments must be
received by the Office of the Secretary
not later than March 19, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be captioned ‘‘Consumer Focus Groups’’
and e-mailed to cpsc-os@cpsc.gov.
Comments may also be sent by facsimile
to (301) 504–0127, or by mail to the
Office of the Secretary, Consumer
Product Safety Commission, 4330 East

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information about the proposed
collection of information call or write
Linda L. Glatz, Division of Policy and
Planning, Office of Information
Technology and Technology Services,
Consumer Product Safety Commission,
4330 East West Highway, Bethesda,
Maryland 20814; (301) 504–7671.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
The Commission is authorized under
section 5(a) of the Consumer Product
Safety Act (CPSA), 15 U.S.C. 2054(a), to
collect information, conduct research,
and perform studies and investigations
relating to the causes and prevention of
deaths, accidents, injuries, illnesses,
other health impairments, and economic
losses associated with consumer
products. Section 5(b) of the CPSA, 15
U.S.C. 2054(b), further provides that the
Commission may conduct research,
studies and investigations on the safety
of consumer products or test consumer
products and develop product safety
test methods and testing devices.
In order to better identify and
evaluate the risks of product-related
incidents, the Commission staff seeks to
solicit and obtain direct feedback from
consumers on issues related to product
safety such as recall effectiveness,
product use, and perceptions regarding
safety issues. Through participation in
certain focus groups, consumers will be
able to answer questions and provide
information regarding their actual
experiences, opinions and/or
perceptions on the use or pattern of use
of a specific product or type of product,
including recalled products.
The information collected from the
Consumer Focus Groups will help
inform the Commission’s evaluation of
consumer products and product use by
providing insight and information into
consumer perceptions and usage
patterns. Such information may also
assist the Commission in its efforts to
support voluntary standards activities,
and help the staff identify areas
E:\FR\FM\18JAN1.SGM
18JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 11 / Thursday, January 18, 2007 / Notices
regarding consumer safety issues that
need additional research. In addition,
based on the information obtained, the
staff may be able to provide safety
information to the public that is easier
to read and is more easily understood by
a wider range of consumers. The
Consumer Focus Groups also may be
used to solicit consumer opinions and
feedback regarding the effectiveness of
product recall communications and in
determining what action is being taken
by consumers in response to such
communications and why. This may aid
in tailoring future recall activities to
increase the success of those activities.
If this information is not collected, the
Commission may not have available
certain useful information regarding
consumer experiences, opinions, and
perceptions related to specific product
use, on which the Commission uses, in
part, in its ongoing efforts to improve
the safety of consumer products on
behalf of consumers.
B. Estimated Burden
The Commission staff currently
estimates that there may be up to 48
participants annually in the Consumer
Focus Groups. The Commission staff
estimates that the burden hours for each
participant will not exceed 4 hours
total. Thus, the Commission staff
estimates that the annual burden could
total approximately 192 hours per year.
The Commission staff estimates the
value of the time of respondents to this
collection of information at $26.86 an
hour. This is based on the 2006 U.S.
Department of Labor Employer Costs for
Employee Compensation. At this
valuation, the estimated annual cost to
the public of this information collection
will be about $5,517 per year.
C. Request for Comments

about the proposed collection of
information. The Commission
specifically solicits information relevant
to the following topics:
