Further Manufactured: • Sales of further manufactured or assembled (including re-packaged) merchandise is merchandise that undergoes further manufacture or assembly in the United States before being sold to the first unaffiliated customer. • Further manufacture or assembly costs include amounts incurred for direct materials, labor and overhead, plus amounts for general and administrative expense, interest expense, and additional packing expense incurred in the country of further manufacture, as well as all costs involved in moving the product from the U.S. port of entry to the further manufacturer.

fast-track request for approval process. The generic clearance will not 
be used to survey any bodies NOAA regulates unless precautions are 
taken to ensure that the respondents believe that they are not under

e.g., in no survey to such a population will the names and addresses of 
respondents be required. Currently there are no such surveys being 
submitted for approval.
