informally. When the complaint
involves structural defects which cannot
be resolved by the cooperation of the
builder or dealer/contractor, it
authorizes expenditure to resolve the
defect with grant funds. Resolution
could involve expenditure for (1)
repairing defects; (2) reimbursing for
emergency repairs; (3) pay temporary
living expenses or (4) convey dwelling
to RHS with release of liability for the
RHS loan.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information is collected from agency
borrowers and the local agency office
serving the county in which the
dwelling is located. This information is
used by Rural Housing Staff to evaluate
the request and assist the borrower in
identifying possible causes and
corrective actions. The information is
collected on a case-by-case basis when
initiated by the borrower. Without this
information, RHS would be unable to
assure that eligible borrowers would
receive compensation to repair defects
to their newly constructed dwellings.
Description of Respondents: Business
or for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 300.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 120.

Title: 7 CFR Part 1940–G,
Environmental Program.
OMB Control Number: 0575–0094.
Summary of Collection: The National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
requires Federal agencies prior to the
approval of proposed actions to
consider the potential environmental
impacts of these actions. Consequently,
for the agencies to comply with NEPA,
it is necessary to have information on
the types of environmental resources on
site or in the vicinity that might impact
the proposed action. Also, information
is required on the nature of the project
selected by the applicant.
Need and Use of the Information: The
agency will collect environmental data
using form RD 1940–20, Request for
Environmental Information. Having all
activities and environmental
information on the proposed project site
will enable the Agency official to
determine the magnitude of the
potential environmental impacts and
whether the project is controversial for
environmental reasons. The agency’s
failure to collect the environmental
information would result in a violation
of NEPA. Thus, the agency would have
no basis to support a decision regarding
the need for an environmental impact
statement.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Correction
February 5, 2010.
The Department of Agriculture has
submitted the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments
regarding (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of burden including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology should be addressed to: Desk
Officer for Agriculture, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB),
OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV or
fax (202) 395–5806 and to Departmental
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail
Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250–
7602. Comments regarding these
information collections are best assured
of having their full effect if received
within 30 days of this notification.
Copies of the submission(s) may be
obtained by calling (202) 720–8958.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Unshu Oranges
from the Republic of Korea into Alaska.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0314.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701—et
seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to carry out operation or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests new to the United States or
not known to be widely distributed
throughout the United States. The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) amended the
regulations governing the importation of
citrus fruit to allow fresh Unshu oranges
from the Republic of Korea to be
imported in the State of Alaska under
certain conditions.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS requires that some plants or
plant products are accompanied by a
phytosanitary inspection certificate that
is completed by plant health officials in
the originating or transiting country.
Also, individual boxes in which oranges
are shipped must be stamped or printed
with the following: ‘‘For importation
into and distribution within the State of
Alaska only.’’ APHIS uses the
information on the certificate to
determine the pest condition of the
shipment at the time of inspection in
the intensity of the inspection APHIS
conducts when the shipment arrives.
Without this information, all shipments
would need to be inspected very
thoroughly, thereby requiring
considerably more time. This would
slow the clearance of international
shipments.

Drill Pipe From the People’s Republic
of China: Amendment to Initiation of
Antidumping Duty Investigation
DATES:
Effective Date: February 18,
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
2010.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) is currently conducting
an antidumping duty investigation of
drill pipe from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’). The period of
investigation (‘‘POI’’) is April 1, 2009,
through September 30, 2009. We are
limiting the number of quantity and
value questionnaires that will be sent
directly to exporters and producers and
extending the deadline for parties to
VerDate Nov<24>2008

submit a response to the quantity and
value questionnaire.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Toni
Dach or Bobby Wong, AD/CVD
Operations Office 9, (202) 482–1655 or
(202) 482–0409, respectively; Import
Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.
BACKGROUND
On January 28, 2010, the Department
published a notice of initiation of an
antidumping duty investigation of drill
pipe from the PRC. See Drill Pipe from
the People’s Republic of China:
Initiation of Antidumping Duty
Investigations, 75 FR 4531 (January 28,
2010) (‘‘Initiation’’).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Initiation, the Department stated that it
intended to release quantity and value
questionnaires to those PRC companies
known to be exporters and producers of
subject merchandise identified with
complete contact information in the
Petition by the Petitioners.1 See
‘‘Petitions for the Imposition of
Antidumping and Countervailing
Duties: Drill Pipe from the People’s
Republic of China,’’ dated December 31,
2009 (‘‘Petition’’), at Exhibit I–7; see also
‘‘Petitions for the Imposition of
Antidumping and Countervailing
Duties: Response to the Department’s
Letter of January 14, 2010,’’ dated
January 15, 2010, at Exhibit 4.
Petitioners identified 77 producers
and exporters of drill pipe from the
PRC. Subsequent to the Initiation, after
considering the large number of
producers and exporters of drill pipe
from the PRC identified by Petitioners,
and considering the resources that must
be utilized by the Department to mail
quantity and value questionnaires to all
77 identified producers and exporters—
including entering each address in a
shipping handler’s Web site, researching
companies’ addresses to ensure
correctness, organizing mailings, and
following up on potentially
undeliverable mailings—the Department
has thus determined that we do not
have sufficient administrative resources
to mail quantity and value
questionnaires to all 77 identified
producers and exporters. Therefore, the
Department has determined to limit the
number of quantity and value
questionnaires it will send out to
1 VAM Drilling USA, Inc., Texas Steel
Conversion, Inc., Rotary Drilling Tools, TMK
IPSCO, and the United Steel, Paper and Forestry,
Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial
and Service Workers International Union, AFL–
CIO–CLC, collectively, the ‘‘Petitioners.’’

exporters and producers based on U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
data for U.S. imports under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) numbers
7304.22.0030, 7304.22.0045,
7304.22.0060, 7304.23.3000,
7304.23.6030, 7304.23.6045,
7304.23.6060 and 8431.43.8040. These
are the same HTSUS numbers used by
Petitioner to demonstrate that dumping
occurred during the POI, and closely
match the subject merchandise. See
Petition at 13–17. The Department will
review the CBP data and comments
from parties on the CBP data to
determine how many quantity and value
questionnaires we will mail to
producers and exporters of drill pipe
from the PRC.
Moreover, although the Department is
limiting the number of quantity and
value questionnaires it will send out,
exporters and producers of drill pipe
that do not receive quantity and value
questionnaires that intend to submit a
response can obtain a copy from the
Import Administration Web site at
https://ia.ita.doc.gov/ia-highlights-andnews.html. Accordingly, the Department
is extending the deadline to submit
responses to the quantity and value
questionnaires from February 11, 2010,
to March 2, 2010.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 777(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
Dated: February 4, 2010.
