Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 7, 2008 / Notices
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
granted by Title 13, United States Code,
Section 8 and by the Public Health
Service Act, Title 42, United States
Code, Sections 306 & 2102(a)(7).
In response to one of the goals of the
1993 Childhood Immunization
Initiative, to monitor childhood
immunization coverage and provide
important statistics about childhood
vaccinations and related health matters,
funding for the NIS was provided and
data collection began in April 1994.
Furthermore, the scope of the program
expanded to include assessing progress
towards the national vaccination goals
set forth by the Childhood
Immunization Initiative of 1996.
Currently, the NIS provides vaccination
coverage estimates annually for children
aged 19–35 months and teens aged 13–
17 years, by state and at least six city/
county areas. The information collected
is used to evaluate state and local
immunization programs, to develop
health care policies, and to assist in the
determination of funding allocations for
the Vaccines for Children (VFC)
program. Since 1994, the VFC program
has helped families of children who
may not otherwise have access to
vaccines by providing free vaccines to
doctors who serve them.
In recent years, the NIS has covered
a decreasing portion of the target
population, particularly children aged
19–35 months living in households with
cell phone, but not landline telephone
service. As part of the CDC’s continuing
effort to evaluate and refine the NIS, this
study is intended to explore how
partnering with the Census Bureau and
sampling from the ACS for households
with age-eligible children having
landline, cell phone only, and no
telephone service could result in
improvements to the survey especially
in terms of coverage, response, and cost.
II. Method of Collection
Data collection for the NIS Evaluation
Study will use a multi-mode approach.
First, computer-assisted telephone
interviewing (CATI) will be conducted
with households with age-eligible
children (19–35 months) to collect
information on the vaccinations
received for each age-eligible child, as
well as information on vaccination
providers. Second, in-person follow-up
interviews with non-responders,
including households with no telephone
service, will be conducted. Due to
constraints in time and resources, the
follow-up interviews for the evaluation
study will be conducted using paperand-pencil interviewing methods. If the
results from the evaluation study prove
beneficial, in-person follow-up
interviews for the national survey will
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
be conducted using computer-assisted
personal interviewing (CAPI) methods
whereby field representatives collect the
data from respondents using laptop
computers. Third, vaccination providers
will be contacted through the use of a
paper mail-out/mail-back process.
Providers will submit information on
vaccinations administered and the dates
the vaccinations were administered for
each child 19 through 35 months. Only
providers of age-eligible children whose
parent or guardian participated in the
telephone or paper follow-up survey
and who gave consent to follow-up with
the provider will be contacted. The
provider information on the type of
vaccine, the number of vaccinations,
and the dates of vaccination will be
used to estimate vaccination coverage
levels; the information obtained from
the parent or guardian will be used to
evaluate the completeness of the
provider-reported information.
III. Data

[Docket 51–2008]
Foreign-Trade Zone 82—Mobile, AL;
Application for Subzone;
ThyssenKrupp Steel and Stainless
USA, LLC, (Stainless and Carbon Steel
Products), Calvert, AL
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the City of Mobile, grantee of
FTZ 82, requesting special-purpose
subzone status for the stainless and
carbon steel products manufacturing
facility of ThyssenKrupp Steel and
Stainless USA, LLC (ThyssenKrupp),
located in Calvert, Alabama. The
application was submitted pursuant to
the provisions of the Foreign-Trade
Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–
81u), and the regulations of the Board
(15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed
on October 1, 2008.
The ThyssenKrupp facility (2,500
employees, 3,515 acres/square feet, 4.5
million metric ton capacity for carbon
steel products and 1 million metric ton
capacity for stainless steel products) is
located at 1 ThyssenKrupp Drive, near
the city of Calvert, Washington and
Mobile Counties, Alabama. The facility
will be used for the manufacturing,
processing and distribution of carbon
and stainless steel products.
Components and materials sourced from
abroad (representing 44% of the value of
finished stainless steel products and
45% of the value of the finished carbon
steel products) include: Ferrochromium,
unwrought molybdenum, ferrosilicon,
articles of titanium, ferrosilicon
manganese, unwrought titanium, ferroniobium, ferro-boron, wire and rods of
agglom, unwrought aluminum and zinc
(duty rate ranges from duty-free to
15%).
FTZ procedures would exempt
ThyssenKrupp from customs duty

payments on the foreign components
used in export production. The
company anticipates that some 27
percent of the plant’s stainless steel
shipments and 5–10 percent of its
carbon steel shipments will be exported.
On its domestic sales, ThyssenKrupp
would be able to choose the duty rates
during customs entry procedures that
apply to the finished stainless steel and
carbon steel products (duty-free) for the
foreign inputs noted above. The request
indicates that the savings from FTZ
procedures would help improve the
plant’s international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of the
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to
investigate the application and report to
the Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for
their receipt is December 8, 2008.
Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing
period may be submitted during the
subsequent 15-day period to December
22, 2008.
A copy of the application and
accompanying exhibits will be available
