As part of its environmental review process, RUS must take into account the effect of the proposal on historic properties in accordance with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and its implementing regulation, ‘‘Protection of Historic Properties’’ (36 CFR part 800). Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3), RUS is using its procedures for public involvement under NEPA to meet is responsibilities to solicit and consider the views of the public during section 106 review. Accordingly, comments from the public submitted in response to scoping will inform RUS decision making in its section 106 review of the proposal. RUS has made the determination that no historic properties listed in or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) will be affected by the Proposal. Alternatives considered by RUS and FRE include (a) No action, (b) alternate sources of power, and (c) alternate sites. An environmental report that describes the proposal in detail and discusses its anticipated environmental impacts has been prepared by FRE. RUS has reviewed and accepted the document as its EA of the proposal. The EA is available for public review at the addresses provided in this Notice. Questions and comments should be sent to RUS at the mailing or e-mail addresses provided in this Notice.

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: Annual Survey of Local Government Finances (School Systems). Form Number(s): F–33, F–33–I, F–33– L1, F–33–L2, F–33–L3. OMB Control Number: 0607–0700. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Burden Hours: 4,032. Number of Respondents: 3,249. Average Hours per Response: 1 hour and 15 minutes. Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau requests an extension of the current expiration date of the Annual Survey of Local Government Finances (School Systems) to ensure accurate collection of information about public school finances. The Census Bureau’s collection of school district finance data and associated publications are the most comprehensive sources for prekindergarten through grade 12 finance data. The data are collected from the universe of school districts using uniform definitions and concepts of revenue, expenditure, debt, and assets. This effort is part of the Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of Government Finance (OMB No. 0607–0585). Data collected from cities, counties, States, and special district governments are combined with data collected from local school systems to produce State and national totals of government spending. Local school system spending comprises a significant portion of total government spending. In 2006, public elementary-secondary expenditures accounted for nearly 30 percent of total local government spending. This comprehensive, ongoing, time series collection of local education agency finances maintains historical continuity in the State and local government statistics community. In addition to the State and local government statistics historical significance, this collection of data has gained added importance within the area of education statistics since the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). The increased focus on schools has led to a demand for data reflecting student E:\FR\FM\15MYN1.SGM 15MYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 93 / Friday, May 15, 2009 / Notices performance, graduation rates, and school finance policy—all of which require the collection and use of this local education finance data collection. State legislatures, local leaders, university researchers, and parents increasingly rely on data to make substantive decisions about education. School district finance is a vital sector of the education data spectrum used by stakeholders to form policy and to develop new education strategies. The education finance data collected and processed by the Census Bureau are an essential component of the government finances program and provide unique products for education and finance data user groups. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) uses most of the items on Form F–33 to develop figures for the Gross Domestic Product. Reported F–33 data items specifically contribute to the estimates for National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA), and the Input-Output accounts (I–O), and gross domestic investments. BEA also uses the data to assess other public fiscal spending trends and events. The Census Bureau’s government finances program has made possible the dissemination of comprehensive and comparable public fiscal data since 1902. School finance data, which comprise nearly 30 percent of all local government general expenditures, are currently incorporated into the local government statistics released in the Annual Survey of Government Finance. The Census Bureau expects to release school finance data as part of its 2007 Census of Governments products. This table package contains benchmark statistics on public revenue, expenditure, debt, and assets. They are widely used by economists, legislators, social and political scientists, and government administrators. The Census Bureau makes available a detailed account for all school systems on files available from its Internet Web site. That Web site currently contains data files and statistical tables for the 1992 through 2006 fiscal year surveys. Historical files and publications prior to 1992 are also available upon request for data users engaged in longitudinal studies. In addition to numerous academic researchers who use the F–33 products, staff receive inquiries from State government officials, legislatures, public policy analysts, local school officials, non-profit organizations, and various Federal agencies. The U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) jointly conducts this survey annually as part of the Common Core of Data (CCD) program. The education VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:43 May 14, 2009 Jkt 217001 finance data collected by the Census Bureau are the sole source of school district fiscal information for the CCD. NCES data users utilize electronic tools to search CCD databases for detailed fiscal and non-fiscal variables. Additionally, the NCES uses the F–33 education finance files to publish annual reports on the state of education. Affected Public: State, local or Tribal government. Frequency: Annually. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Sections 161 and 182. OMB Desk Officer: Brian HarrisKojetin, (202) 395–7314.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background This review covers the Borusan Group3 (‘‘Borusan’’), a producer/ exporter of the subject merchandise. On February 9, 2009, the Department published the preliminary results of this review and invited interested parties to comment on those results. On March 11, 2009, we received a case brief from Borusan. We did not receive a rebuttal brief from any interested parties. Scope of the Order The products covered by this order include circular welded non–alloy steel pipes and tubes, of circular crosssection, not more than 406.4 millimeters (16 inches) in outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness, surface finish (black, or galvanized, painted), or end finish (plain end, beveled end, threaded and coupled). Those pipes and tubes are generally known as standard pipe, though they may also be called structural or mechanical tubing in certain applications. Standard pipes and tubes are intended for the low pressure conveyance of water, steam, natural gas, air, and other liquids and gases in plumbing and heating systems, air conditioner units, automatic sprinkler systems, and other related uses. Standard pipe may also be used for light load–bearing and mechanical applications, such as for fence tubing, and for protection of electrical wiring, such as conduit shells. The scope is not limited to standard pipe and fence tubing, or those types of mechanical and structural pipe that are used in standard pipe applications. All carbon steel pipes and tubes within the A.S. See Certain Welded Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube from Turkey: Notice of Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 7394 (February 17, 2009). 3 The Borusan Group includes Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. and other affiliated companies.
