Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Determination.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of the Census
(Census Bureau) is conducting the 2010
Annual Surveys in the Manufacturing
Area. The 2010 Annual Surveys consist
of the Current Industrial Reports
surveys, the Annual Survey of
Manufactures, the Business R&D and
Innovation Survey, and the
Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders Survey.
We have determined that annual data
collected from these surveys are needed
to aid the efficient performance of
essential governmental functions, and
have significant application to the needs
of the public and industry. The data
derived from these surveys, most of
which have been conducted for many
years, are not publicly available from
nongovernmental or other governmental
sources.
ADDRESSES: The Census Bureau will
furnish report forms to organizations
included in the survey. Additional
copies are available upon written
request to the Director, U.S. Census
Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–0101.

SUMMARY:
The
Census Bureau is authorized to conduct
mandatory surveys necessary to furnish
current data on the subjects covered by
the major censuses authorized by Title
13, United States Code, sections 61, 81,
131, 182, 193, 224, and 225.
These surveys will provide
continuing and timely national
statistical data on manufacturing for the
period between economic censuses. The
data collected in the surveys will be
within the general scope and nature of
those inquiries covered in the economic
census. The next economic census will
be conducted for the year 2012.

Annual Survey of Manufactures
The Annual Survey of Manufactures
collects industry statistics, such as total
value of shipments, employment,
payroll, workers’ hours, capital
expenditures, cost of materials
consumed, supplemental labor costs,
and so forth. This survey is conducted
on a sample basis, and covers all
manufacturing industries, including
data on plants under construction but
not yet in operation.
Business R&D and Innovation Survey
The Business R&D and Innovation
Survey (BRDIS) measures spending on
research and development activities by
United States businesses. This survey
replaced the Survey of Industrial
Research and Development that had
been collected since the 1950’s. The
BRDIS collects global as well as
domestic spending information, more
detailed information about the R&D
workforce, and information regarding
innovation and intellectual property
from U.S. businesses. The Census
Bureau collects and compiles this
information in accordance with a joint
project agreement between the National
Science Foundation (NSF) and the
Census Bureau. The NSF publishes the
results in its publication series. All data
items are collected on a mandatory basis
under the authority of Title 13, United
States Code.
Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders Survey
The Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders
Survey collects data on sales and
unfilled orders in order to provide
annual benchmarks for unfilled orders
for the monthly Manufacturers’
Shipments, Inventories, and Orders
(M3) survey. The Annual Survey of
Manufactures (ASM) provides annual
benchmarks for the shipments and
inventory data in this monthly survey.
The survey data will also be used to
determine whether it is necessary to
collect unfilled orders data for specific
industries on a monthly basis; some
industries are not requested to provide
unfilled orders data on the M3 Survey.
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.,
Chapter 45, OMB approved the Annual
Surveys under the following OMB
control numbers: Current Industrial
Reports—0607–0476, Annual Survey of
Manufactures—0607–0449, Business
R&D and Innovation Survey—0607–
0912, Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders
Survey—0607–0561.
Based upon the foregoing, I have
directed that the Annual Surveys in the
Manufacturing Area be conducted for
the purpose of collecting these data.
Scope of the Orders
Dated: November 1, 2010.

Director, Bureau of the Census.
South Korea
The products subject to this order are
certain welded stainless steel butt-weld
pipe fittings, whether finished or
unfinished, under 14 inches in inside
diameter. The pipe fittings are used to
connect pipe sections in piping systems
where conditions require welded
connections. The subject merchandise
can be used where one or more of the
following conditions is a factor in
designing the piping system: (1)
Corrosion of the piping system will
occur if material other than stainless
steel is used; (2) contamination of the
material in the system by the system
itself must be prevented; (3) high
temperatures are present; (4) extreme
low temperatures are present; (5) high
pressures are contained within the
system.
Stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings
come in a variety of shapes, and the
following five are the most basic:
‘‘elbows,’’ ‘‘tees,’’ ‘‘reducers,’’ ‘‘stub ends,’’
and ‘‘caps.’’ The edges of finished
fittings are beveled. Threaded, grooved,
and bolted fittings are excluded from
the order. The pipe fittings subject to
this order are classifiable under the
HTSUS subheading 7307.23.00.
Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.

AGENCY:
On September 1, 2010, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated sunset reviews of
the antidumping duty orders on certain
stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings
from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Review, 75 FR 53664 (September 1,
2010) (Initiation Notice). Because no
interested domestic party responded to
the sunset review notice of initiation by
the applicable deadline, the Department
is revoking the antidumping duty orders
on certain stainless steel butt-weld pipe
fittings from Japan, South Korea and
Taiwan.
