SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Special Census Program is a
reimbursable service offered and
performed by the Census Bureau for the
government of any state; county, city, or
other political subdivision within a
state; for the government of the District
of Columbia; and for the government of
any possession or area over which the
U.S. exercises jurisdiction, control, or
sovereignty, and other governmental
units which require current population
data between decennial censuses. The
Special Census Program will be closing
down for this decade in 2009 and will
startup again after the 2010 Decennial
Census. We are requesting an extension
of the expiration date of the Special
Census Program through June 2009, at
which time, the program will close
down and will be unavailable until after
the 2010 Decennial Census.
Many states distribute funds based on
current population statistics. In
addition, special census data are used
by the local jurisdictions to plan new
schools, transportation systems, housing
programs, and water treatment facilities.
The Census Bureau will use the
following forms to update addresses
listed on the Census Bureau’s Master
Address File (MAF) and to enumerate
populations in special censuses:
SC–1, Special Census Enumerator
Questionnaire—This interview form
will be used to collect special census
data at regular housing units (HU).
SC–1 (SUPP), Continuation Form for
Enumerator Questionnaire—This
interview form will be used to collect
special census data at a regular HU
when there are more than five members
in a household.
SC–1 (Telephone), Special Census
Enumeration Questionnaire—This
interview form will be used to collect
special census data when a respondent
calls the local special census office.
SC–2, Special Census Special Place
Questionnaire—This interview form
will be used to collect special census
data at group quarters (GQ) in special
places (SP) such as hospitals, prisons,
boarding and rooming houses,
campgrounds, hotels, college
dormitories, military facilities, and
convents.
SC–116, Group Quarters Enumeration
Control Sheet—This page will be used
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703

by Special Census enumerators to list
residents/clients at GQs.
SC–351, Group Quarters Initial
Contact Checklist—This checklist will
be used by enumerators to collect
contact information and to determine
the type of GQ.
SC–920, Address Listing Page—This
page will include existing addresses
from the MAF. Special Census
enumerators will update these
addresses, if needed, at the time of
enumeration.
SC–921(HU), Housing Unit Add
Page—This page will be used by
enumerators to add HUs that are
observed to exist on the ground and that
are not contained on the address listing
page.
SC–921(SP), Special Place/Group
Quarter Add Page—This page will be
used by enumerators to add SPs/GQs
that are observed to exist on the ground
and that are not reflected in the address
listing page.
The Special Census Program will
operate as a generic OMB clearance
including a library of forms and the
operational procedures that will be used
for the remaining special censuses we
anticipate conducting this decade. The
Census Bureau will establish a
reimbursable agreement with a variety
of potential special census customers
that are unknown at this time.
Census will submit for OMB’s review
and approval, using a change worksheet,
any special-purpose questions requested
by customers to be added to special
census questionnaires.
II. Method of Collection
The Special Census Program will use
the Census 2000 Update/Enumerate (U/
E) methodology. Enumerators will
canvass their assigned areas with an
address register that contains addresses
obtained from the MAF. Special Census
enumerators will update the address
information, as needed, based on their
observation of HUs and/or SPs/GQs that
exist on the ground. Additionally,
enumerators will interview households
at regular HUs and residents at GQs
using the appropriate Special Census
questionnaire.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
The Petitions
On December 31, 2007, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) received petitions
concerning imports of uncovered
innerspring units from the People’s
Republic of China (the PRC), South
Africa, and the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam (Vietnam) (collectively, the
Petitions) filed in proper form by
Leggett and Platt, Incorporated (the
petitioner). See Petitions on Uncovered
Innerspring Units from China, South
Africa, and Vietnam (December 31,
2007). On January 7, 2008, the
Department issued a request for
additional information and clarification
of certain areas in the Petitions. Based
on the Department’s requests, the
petitioner filed additional information
on January 11, 2008 (four distinct
submissions on general issues, PRCspecific material (PRC Supplement to
the Petition), Vietnam-specific material
(Vietnam Supplement to the Petition),
and South Africa-specific material
(South Africa Supplement to the
Petition)), and on January 16, 2008 (two
distinct submissions on PRC-specific
material (PRC Second Supplement to
the Petition) and Vietnam-specific
material (Vietnam Second Supplement
to the Petition)).
In accordance with section 732(b) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
4817
Act), the petitioner alleges that imports
of uncovered innerspring units from the
PRC, South Africa, and Vietnam are
being, or are likely to be, sold in the
United States at less than fair value,
within the meaning of section 731 of the
Act, and that such imports are
materially injuring, or threatening
material injury to, an industry in the
United States.
The Department finds that the
petitioner filed these Petitions on behalf
of the domestic industry because the
petitioner is an interested party as
defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act
and has demonstrated sufficient
industry support with respect to the
initiation of the antidumping duty
investigations that the petitioner is
requesting. See the ‘‘Determination of
Industry Support for the Petitions’’
section below.
Period of Investigation
Because the Petitions were filed on
December 31, 2007, the anticipated
period of investigation (POI) for the PRC
and Vietnam is April 1, 2007, through
September 30, 2007. The anticipated
POI for South Africa is October 1, 2006,
through September 30, 2007. See 19
CFR 351.204(b)(1).
Scope of Investigations
The merchandise covered by each of
these investigations is uncovered
innerspring units composed of a series
of individual metal springs joined
together in sizes corresponding to the
sizes of adult mattresses (e.g., twin, twin
long, full, full long, queen, California
king, and king) and units used in
smaller constructions, such as crib and
youth mattresses. All uncovered
innerspring units are included in this
scope regardless of width and length.
Included within this definition are
innersprings typically ranging from 30.5
inches to 76 inches in width and 68
inches to 84 inches in length.
Innersprings for crib mattresses
typically range from 25 inches to 27
inches in width and 50 inches to 52
inches in length.
Uncovered innerspring units are
suitable for use as the innerspring
component in the manufacture of
innerspring mattresses, including
mattresses that incorporate a foam
encasement around the innerspring.
Pocketed and non-pocketed
innerspring units are included in this
definition. Non-pocketed innersprings
are typically joined together with helical
wire and border rods. Non-pocketed
innersprings are included in this
definition regardless of whether they
have border rods attached to the
perimeter of the innerspring. Pocketed
