In designing the national competition for the distribution of these grant funds, priority is given to public television stations serving the areas that would be most unable to fund the digital transition without a grant. The largest sources of funding for public television stations are public membership and business contributions. In rural areas, lower population density reduces the field of membership, and rural areas have fewer businesses per capita than urban and suburban areas. Therefore, rurality is a primary predictor of the need for grant funding for a public television station’s digital transition. In addition, some rural areas have per capita income levels that are lower than the national average, and public television stations covering these areas in particular are likely to have difficulty funding the digital transition. As a result, the consideration of the per capita income of a public television station’s coverage area is a secondary predictor of the need for grant funding. Finally, some public television stations may face special difficulty accomplishing the transition, and a third scoring factor for station hardship will account for conditions that make these public television stations less likely to accomplish the digital transition without a grant. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 21 hours per response. Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local or Tribal Government. Estimated Number of Respondents: 50. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.12. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,168 hours. Copies of this information collection can be obtained from MaryPat Daskal, Program Development and Regulatory Analysis, at (202) 720–7853.

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (FHWAR) Cell Phone and Debit Card Test. OMB Control Number: None. Form Number(s): Control Advance Letter FHW–W1[T], Prenotice Postcard for Cell Phone Sample FHW–W1[C1], Advance Letter for Cell Phone Sample FHW–W1[C2], Advance Letter for Debit Card Sample FHW–W1[D]. Type of Request: New collection. Burden Hours: 254. Number of Respondents: 1,500. Average Hours per Response: 8 minutes. Needs and Uses: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the U.S. Census Bureau plan to conduct (covered under separate OMB clearance number 1018–0088) the 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and WildlifeAssociated Recreation (FHWAR) which is authorized under the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 and the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000. The Census Bureau is authorized to conduct the FHWAR under Title 13, United States Code Section 8(b). The FHWAR data, collected approximately every five years, assist Federal and State agencies in administering the Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration grant programs and provide up-to-date information on the uses and demands for wildlife-related recreation resources, trends in uses of those resources, and a basis for developing and evaluating programs and projects to meet existing and future needs. The FHWAR uses an address-based sample selected from the Census Bureau’s Master Address File (MAF). Interviewing is conducted using Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) and ComputerAssisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). Through research conducted by Relevate, Lexis Nexis, and by researchers at the Census Bureau’s three telephone centers, we estimate that we will obtain telephone numbers for 47,891 sample households that will be eligible for CATI interviewing. With a total household sample of 81,955, this PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 leaves 34,064 households eligible for a CAPI interview. Due to the cost of conducting personal visit interviews, the 2011 FHWAR budget will only fund 5,154 CAPI interviews. These 5,154 cases will be subsampled from the 34,064 cases for which we do not have a household telephone number. A CAPI sample in the FHWAR is particularly important because households with available phone numbers may differ in characteristics from those without telephones and those with unlisted phone numbers. By decreasing our sample from 34,064 to 5,154, we are introducing additional variance in our survey data. The purpose of the Cell Phone and Debit Card Test is to research alternative survey designs that could increase the number of CATI interviews while reducing the variance associated with conducting fewer CAPI interviews. Researching comparable alternatives to CAPI interviewing is important since the FWS has limited funding to conduct the survey. An FHWAR CAPI interview is estimated to cost approximately $600 per case, while a CATI interview is estimated to cost $65 per case. We plan to conduct a test in the first wave of interviewing (the FHWAR is conducted in three waves) that includes three panels of 500 households each. We will select the test cases from the remaining cases (approximately 28,910 cases) without phone numbers after the production CAPI sample is selected. These 1,500 cases will remain in the CATI sample; they will not be sent for CAPI interviewing. The first panel will receive an advance letter with a cell phone. The advance letter will ask that a household member call the telephone center and complete an interview using the cell phone. The telephone centers will also attempt to contact these households using the assigned cell phone telephone number. The second panel will receive an advance letter and a $25 incentive. The advance letter will ask that a household member call the telephone center to complete an interview and accept the prepaid debit or gift card as a ‘‘thank you’’ for participating. The third panel will only receive an advance letter that requests a household member call the telephone center to complete an interview. (NOTE: The only way that contact will be made with households in the second and third panels will be if household respondents call the telephone center.) The test data from these three panels will not be included with the production FHWAR data and the FWS will not have access to the data.

The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a– 81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400), specifically Section 400.32(b)(1). It was formally filed on January 4, 2011. The SGL Automotive facility (12 employees initially and up to 250 employees at full production; 60 acres) is located within Site 3 of FTZ 203. This VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:33 Jan 10, 2011 Jkt 223001 new facility will be used for the manufacture of carbon fiber, all of which will be exported for the exclusive use of BMW Group in its new electric car production. This application requests authority to allow SGL Automotive to conduct manufacturing of carbon fiber (1,500 metric tons at the outset and up to 15,000 metric tons at full capacity) under FTZ procedures for export. Foreign-origin polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber (HTSUS 5501.30, duty rate: 7.5%) will be used as the primary production input, which represents some 45 percent of finished product value. FTZ procedures could exempt SGL Automotive from customs duty payments on the PAN fiber used in export production (100 percent of shipments). FTZ designation could further allow SGL Automotive to realize certain customs-related logistical benefits. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment. The request indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the plant’s international competitiveness. In accordance with the Board’s regulations, Diane Finver of the FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts and information presented in the application and case record and to report findings and recommendations to the Board. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is February 10, 2011. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to February 25, 2011.

households with available phone numbers may differ in characteristics 
from those without telephones and those with unlisted phone numbers. By

    The first panel will receive an advance letter with a cell phone. 
The advance letter will ask that a household member call the telephone
