Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 3, 2009 / Notices
Needs and Uses: There are currently
approximately 1,932 permitted vessels
that harvest shrimp from the Exclusive
Economic Zone, and the Gulf of Mexico
(GOM) Fishery Management Council
(Council) estimates that there are over
13,000 boats that fish in state waters.
With such a large number of vessels of
differing sizes, gears used, and fishing
capabilities compounded by seasonal
variability in abundance and price and
the broad geographic distribution of the
fleet, it is practically impossible to
estimate the actual amount of fishing
effort using current methods and data.
The only practical way of improving the
estimates of the amount and type of
bycatch is by having a more precise
means of estimating effort. Therefore,
Amendment 13 to the GOM shrimp
fishery amended the Fishery
Management Plan to include a
mandatory electronic logbook program
for a random sample of federallypermitted vessels.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Every two months.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and

information under the provisions of the

Title: Survey of Plant Capacity
Utilization.
Form Number(s): MQ–C2.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0175.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 52,500.
Number of Respondents: 7,500.
Average Hours per Response: 1 hour
and 45 minutes.
Needs and Uses: With support from
the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), the
U.S. Census Bureau requests an
extension of approval for the Survey of
Plant Capacity Utilization (SPC). The
survey is conducted quarterly. The
survey provides information on use of
industrial capacity in manufacturing
and publishing plants as defined by the
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). It is the only source of
capacity rates at industry levels.
Changes in capacity utilization are
considered important indicators of
investment demand and inflationary
pressure. For these reasons, the
estimates of capacity utilization are
closely monitored by government and
private policy makers.
We use a mail-out/mail-back form. We
also offer an electronic version of the
form for reporting via the Internet. The
survey collects the value of quarterly
production and the value of production
that could have been achieved if
operating under ‘‘full production’’
capability. The ratio of the actual to the
full is the basis of the estimates of
capacity utilization. The survey also
collects information by shift, on work
patterns at the actual production level.
Appendix A is a copy of the 2009 MQ–
C2 form and instructions. Response to
the quarterly survey is voluntary.
The FRB is the primary user of the
current SPC data and has expressed the
need for these quarterly data. The FRB
publishes measures of industrial
production (IP) that are either estimated
from physical product data or estimated
from monthly data on inputs to the
production process, specifically
production worker hours and an
indicator of capital input. For many
years, data on electric power use was
used as the indicator of industry capital
input. The deregulation of electricity
markets led to the deterioration in the
coverage and quality of the electricity
data. As a result, in November 2005, the
FRB discontinued its use of the
industrial electric power data in the
current estimates of IP. In order to
maintain the quality of the IP index, the
collection of these quarterly utilization
data, such as the workweek of capital,
become critical indicators of capital
input use and industry output.
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The FRB will use these data in several
ways. First, the SPC data is the primary
source of the benchmark information for
utilization rates. Second, the capital
workweek data will be used as an
indicator of capital use in the estimation
of monthly output (IP). Third, the
workweek data will also be used to
improve the projections of labor
productivity that are used to align IP
with comprehensive benchmark
information from the Economic Census
covering the Manufacturing sector and
Annual Survey of Manufactures. And
finally, the utilization rate data will
assist in the assessment of recent
changes in IP, as most of the highfrequency movement in utilization rates
reflect production changes rather than
capacity changes.
The Defense Logistics Agency uses
the data to assess readiness to meet
demand for goods under selected
national emergency scenarios.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13, United
States Code, Section 182.
