E9–20796 Filed 8–27–09; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3410–16–P CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD INVESTIGATION BOARD hsrobinson on DSK69SOYB1PROD with NOTICES Sunshine Act Meeting—September 15, 2009—6 p.m. In connection with its investigation into the cause of a December 19, 2007, explosion and subsequent chemical fire at the T2 Laboratories, Inc., a chemical manufacturer in Jacksonville, Florida, the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board announces that it will convene a public meeting on September 15, 2009, starting at 6 p.m. at the Marriott Hotel located at 4670 Salisbury Rd in Jacksonville, Florida in ‘‘The Florida Room.’’ At the meeting CSB staff will present to the Board the results of their investigation into this incident. Key issues involved in the investigation concern reactive hazard recognition, hazard education, emergency preparedness, and process design and scale-up. This will be followed by a public comment period prior to a Board vote on the report. Incident Description: On December 19th, T2 Laboratories, Inc. was producing a batch of methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MCMT). A problem soon occurred and the process operator had an outside operator call the owners to report a cooling problem and request they return to the site. Upon their return, one of the two owners went to the control room to assist. A few minutes later, the reactor burst and its VerDate Nov<24>2008 21:38 Aug 27, 2009 Jkt 217001 contents exploded, killing the owner and process operator who were in the control room and two outside operators who were exiting the reactor area. It also injured 32, including four employees and 28 members of the public who were working in surrounding businesses. Debris from the reactor was found up to one mile away, and the explosion damaged buildings within one quarter mile of the facility. Following the staff presentation and the conclusion of the public comment period, the Board will consider whether to approve the final report and recommendations. All staff presentations are preliminary and are intended solely to allow the Board to consider in a public forum the issues and factors involved in this case. No factual analyses, conclusions or findings presented by staff should be considered final. Only after the Board has considered the final staff presentation, listened to the witnesses and the public comments and approved the staff report will there be an approved final record of this incident. The meeting will be open to the public. Please notify CSB if a translator or interpreter is needed, at least 5 business days prior to the public meeting. For more information, please contact the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board at (202) 261–7600, or visit our Web site at: https:// www.csb.gov. Christopher W. Warner, General Counsel. [FR Doc.

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: 2009—2011 Company Organization Survey. Form Number(s): NC–99001, NC– 99007. OMB Control Number: 0607–0444. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Burden Hours: 127,517. Number of Respondents: 48,000. Average Hours per Response: 2 hours and 40 minutes. Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau is requesting an extension of the PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 44349 currently approved Company Organization Survey (COS) to conduct the 2009, 2010 and 2011 COS. This collection will direct inquiries to multiestablishment enterprises and selected single-establishment companies. The Census Bureau conducts the annual COS in order to update and maintain a central, multipurpose Business Register (BR). In particular, the COS supplies critical information on the organizational structure, operating characteristics, and employment and payroll of multi-location enterprises. The 2009–2011 COS collection will not differ from the 2008. The sample size will remain the same as in 2008 surveying 48,000 respondents. Form NC–99001 is mailed to multilocation enterprises. We ask questions on ownership or control by a domestic parent, ownership or control by a foreign parent, and ownership of foreign affiliates; research and development, and employees from a professional employer organization. Establishment inquiries include questions on operational status, mid-March employment, first-quarter payroll, and annual payroll of establishments (see Attachment A, Item 5 of NC–99001). In addition to the mailing of multilocation enterprises, the Census Bureau will mail Form NC–99007 to some large single-location enterprises that may have added some locations. Form NC– 99007 contains questions on ownership and control by a domestic company, number of locations of operation, physical location, locations of operation, and inquiries on mid-March employment, first-quarter payroll, and annual payroll for each separate location. The BR serves two fundamental purposes: First and most important, it provides sampling populations and enumeration lists for the Census Bureau’s economic surveys and censuses, and it serves as an integral part of the statistical foundation underlying those programs. Essential for this purpose is the BR’s ability to identify all known United States business establishments and their parent companies. Further, the BR must accurately record basic business attributes needed to control sampling and enumeration. These attributes include industrial and geographic classifications, measures of size and economic activity, ownership characteristics, and contact information (for example, name and address). Second, it provides establishment data that serve as the basis for the annual County Business Patterns (CBP) statistical series. The CBP reports present data on number of E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM 28AUN1 44350 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 166 / Friday, August 28, 2009 / Notices establishments, first quarter payroll, annual payroll, and mid-March employment summarized by industry and employment size class for the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, counties, and countyequivalents. No other annual or more frequent series of industry statistics provides comparable detail, particularly for small geographic areas.
