ongoing business relationship between
Parto Abgardan and Aqua-Loop, which
is highlighted by Parto Abgardan’s own
Web site, and Mahmoud Lazemizadeh’s
control of Parto Abgardan and his
ownership interest in Aqua-Loop. These
concerns are only heightened by Parto
Abgardan’s assertions that there is no
connection between the two entities,
when, in fact, its owner is a co-owner
of Aqua-Loop and its Web site,
references a ‘‘sister factory’’ in the
United States and lists Aqua-Loop’s
mailing address and contact information
in California.
Based on the foregoing and the record
as a whole, I find that Parto Abgardan
is a person related to Aqua-Loop by
‘‘ownership, control, position of
responsibility, affiliation, or other
connection in the conduct of trade or
business’’ pursuant to Section 766.23 of
the Regulations, and that the Denial
Order issued against Aqua-Loop should
be made applicable to Parto Abgardan in
order to prevent evasion of that Order.
IV. Order

First, that Parto Abgardan Cooling
Towers Co. (‘‘Parto Abgardan’’), located

Bureau to take surveys that are
necessary to produce current data on the
subjects covered by the major censuses.
As part of this authorization, the Census
Bureau conducts the ARTS to provide
continuing and timely national
statistical data on retail trade, and
accommodation and food services
activity for the period between
economic censuses. ARTS is a
continuation of similar retail trade
surveys conducted each year since 1951
(except 1954). ARTS covers employer
firms with establishments located in the
United States and classified in the Retail
Trade and/or Accommodation and Food
Services sectors as defined by the 2002
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS). ARTS provides, on a
comparable classification basis, annual
sales, annual e-commerce sales,
purchases, total operating expenses,
accounts receivables, and year-end
inventories held inside and outside the
United States for 2010. The Census
Bureau has determined that the conduct
of this survey is necessary because these
data are not available publicly on a
timely basis from non-governmental or
other governmental sources.
The Census Bureau will request a
sample of firms operating retail,
accommodation, and/or food services
establishments in the United States to
respond to the 2010 ARTS. Firms are
selected for this survey using a stratified
random sample based on industry
groupings and annual sales size. We
will provide report forms to the firms
covered by this survey in January 2011,
and will require their responses within
30 days after receipt. Firms’ responses
to the ARTS survey are required by law
(Title 13 U.S.C. 182, 224, and 225). The
sample of firms selected will provide,
with measurable reliability, statistics on
annual sales, annual e-commerce sales,
purchases, total operating expenses,
accounts receivables, and year-end
inventories held both inside and outside
the United States for 2010.
The data collected in this survey will
be similar to that collected in the past
and within the general scope and nature
of those inquiries covered in the
economic census. These data are
collected to provide a sound statistical
basis for the formation of policy by
various government agencies. Results
will be available for use for a variety of
public and business needs such as
economic and market analysis, company
performance, and forecasting future
demand.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with, a
collection of information subject to the

requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) unless that
collection of information displays a
current valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number. In
accordance with the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501–3521, OMB has approved the
Annual Retail Trade Survey under OMB

these data.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections
182, 224, and 225 of Title 13 of the
United States Code authorize the Census
Bureau to take surveys that are
necessary to produce current data on the
subjects covered by the major censuses.
As part of this authorization, the Census
Bureau conducts the AWTS to provide
continuing and timely national statistics
data on wholesale trade activity for the
period between economic censuses.
For 2010, the survey will, as it has in
the past, consist of a sample of

provide a sound statistical basis for the
formation of policy by various
government agencies. These data will be
available for use for a variety of public

demand.
From wholesale distributors, the
Census Bureau will collect data
covering sales, e-commerce sales, yearend inventories held inside and outside
the United States, purchases, and total
operating expenses. From
manufacturers’ sales branches and
offices, the Census Bureau will collect
data covering annual sales, e-commerce
sales, year-end inventories held inside
and outside the United States and total
operating expenses. From agents,
brokers, and electronic markets, the
Census Bureau will collect data
covering commissions, total operating
revenue, gross selling value, and total
operating expenses. For more
information on the components of
wholesale activity covered under this
survey, please see the North American
Industry Classification System Web site
at https://www.census.gov/eos/www/

has determined that the conduct of this
survey is necessary as these data are not
available publicly on a timely basis from

sources.
The Census Bureau will request a
sample of firms engaged in the three
covered wholesale activities to respond
to the 2010 AWTS. Firms are selected
