programs and timely, relevant
information.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate 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;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of burden on the collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
0.24870 hours per response.
Respondents: Livestock, poultry, and
catfish producers; information users;
NAHMS Descriptive Report Recipients;
Animal Health Report recipients;
practicing veterinarians; animal
importers/exporters; State and
independent laboratories.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 22,500.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 0.31666.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 7,125.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 1,772 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: 2009 Management and
Organizational Practices Survey.
Form Number(s): MP–10002.
OMB Control Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden Hours: 25,000.
Number of Respondents: 50,000.
Average Hours Per Response: 30
minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
plans to conduct the Management and
Organizational Practices Survey (MOPS)
as a one time inquiry with possible
future annual data collection pending
funding. This survey will utilize the
Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM)
survey panel collecting information on
management and organizational
practices at the establishment level.
Data obtained from the survey will

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 242 / Friday, December 17, 2010 / Notices
allow us to estimate a firm’s stock of
management and organizational assets,
specifically the use of decentralized
decision rights and greater investments
in human capital. The results will
provide information on investments in
organizational practices thus allowing
us to gain a better understanding of the
benefits from these investments when
measured in terms of firm productivity
or firm market value. A manufacturing
sector establishment based survey on
management and organizational
practices would provide information on
the dimensions of organizational capital
for this sector that is not currently
available.
Understanding the determinants of
productivity growth is essential to
understanding the dynamics of the U.S.
economy. The Management and
Organizational Practices Survey (MOPS)
will provide information on whether the
large and persistent differences in
productivity across establishments
(even within the same industry) are
partly driven by differences in
management and organizational
practices. In addition to increasing our
understanding of the dynamics of the
economy, the MOPS will provide policy
makers with some guidance in attempts
to raise aggregate productivity levels.
Policymakers, such as the Federal
Reserve Board, can use the MOPS to
understand the current state and
evolution of management and
organizational practices which can in
turn aid the policymakers in forecasting
future productivity growth.
Management data will also be
particularly important for
understanding what policymakers can
do to assist U.S. manufacturing
companies hit particularly hard by the
recent recession. There has been
renewed policy interest in approaches
to support the manufacturing industry.
For example, some policymakers have
suggested extending programs like the
Manufacturing Extension Program
(MEP). The MEP is a nationwide system
of resources, transforming manufactures
to compete globally by making use of
modern manufacturing equipment,
innovative methodologies, and
management practices to improve/
increase the productivity in the
manufacturing sector. The MOPS would
provide information on differences in
manufacturing management and
organizational practices by region,
industry and firm size which would
directly aid policy discussions about the
potential impact of programs like the
MEP. Researchers for this proposed
survey have discussed with members of
the Council of Economic Advisors the
potential impact of management

Jkt 223001
practices on manufacturing performance
and the evaluation of the MEP. In a
similar vein, researchers on this
proposal have had discussions with
members of the current administration
about measuring and evaluating
differences in healthcare management
and its links to patient outcomes. The
MOPS could also provide information
in this area.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Sections 131, 182, 193, and 224.

information collection should be sent

SUMMARY: On September 13, 2010, the
United States Court of International
Trade (‘‘CIT’’) sustained the remand
determination made by the Department
of Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’)
pursuant to the CIT’s remand of the
final determination in the antidumping
duty investigation on 1hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-diphosphonic
acid (‘‘HEDP’’) from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) and ordered

the case dismissed.1 This case arises out
of the Department’s final determination
in the antidumping investigation on
HEDP from the PRC.2 The final
judgment in this case was not in
harmony with the Department’s Final
Determination.
DATES: Effective Date: September 23,
2010.

482–0679.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
11, 2009, the Department published its
Final Determination in which it
determined that HEDP from the PRC is
being, or is likely to be, sold in the
United States at less than fair value as
provided in section 735 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’).3
Separate rate respondent companies
Changzhou Wujin Fine Chemical
Factory Co., Ltd. (‘‘Wujin Fine’’) and
Jiangsu Jianghai Chemical Group Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Jiangsu Jianghai’’) timely
challenged certain aspects of the Final
Determination to the CIT. Among the
issues raised before the CIT was
whether the Department properly
corroborated the adverse facts available
(‘‘AFA’’) rate upon which it relied in
calculating the separate rate.
On February 8, 2010, the CIT granted
the United States’ motion for a
voluntary remand to reconsider the
separate rate assigned to Wujin Fine and
Jiangsu Jianghai after examining
whether the Department corroborated
the AFA rate upon which it relied in
calculating the separate rate.4 In a
remand determination filed on May 3,
2010, the Department determined that
the AFA rate upon which the
Department relied in calculating the
separate rate was not corroborated in the
Final Determination.5 Consequently, the
