concerning the Commission may also be
obtained by accessing its Internet server
at https://www.usitc.gov. Hearingimpaired persons are advised that
information on this matter can be
obtained by contacting the
Commission’s TDD terminal on (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission is issuing this notice
because of the potential for an absence
of an appropriation as of 12:01 a.m. on
Saturday, April 9, 2011. If the
Commission does not receive funding
by 8:45 a.m. on Monday, April 11, 2011,
the agency will shut down its
investigative activities for the duration
of the absence of appropriation. These
activities include, but are not limited to,
proceedings conducted under the
authority of Title VII of the Tariff Act of
1930, including antidumping and
countervailing duty investigations and
reviews; investigations and ancillary
proceedings conducted under the
authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act
of 1930; and investigations conducted
under the authority of section 332 of the
Tariff Act of 1930.
If a shutdown occurs, the schedules
for all investigative activities will be
tolled. All hearings and conferences will
be postponed, subject to the exception
described below. Once the Commission
receives funding and the period of the
shutdown ends, all schedules will
resume starting with the day on which
the Commission recommences
operations. For example, if the
shutdown lasts four days (e.g., April 11–
14), then the deadline for the filing of
any document on April 14 would be
extended four days to April 18, 2011. If
a rescheduled deadline falls on a
nonbusiness day, the deadline will be
extended to the next business day. The
agency may reconsider schedules after
resuming operations.
Notwithstanding the general tolling of
schedules, each staff conference in
preliminary antidumping and
countervailing duty investigations
scheduled to take place on April 20, 21,
or 22, 2011, will take place as scheduled
if the Commission resumes operations
by April 14, 2011. Should the shutdown
not end before April 14, 2011, all
conferences will be rescheduled
pursuant to the general tolling
provisions described above.
The Commission’s World Wide Web
site, at https://www.usitc.gov, will be
updated to the extent practicable to
provide information on the status of the
agency.
The authority for the Commission=s
determination is contained in section

functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
—Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
—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, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
The Civil Division of Department of
Justice (DOJ) will be submitting the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed
information collection is published to
obtain comments from the public and
affected agencies. June 13, 2011. This
process is conducted in accordance with
5 CFR 1320.10.
If you have comments, especially on
the estimated public burden or
associated response time, suggestions,
or need a copy of the proposed
information collection instrument with
instructions or additional information,
please contact Laurie Feinberg, 601 D
Street, NW., Room 9109, Washington,
DC 20004; (202) 305–1789.
Written comments concerning this
information collection should be sent to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, Attn: DOJ Desk Officer. The best
way to ensure your comments are
received is to e-mail them to
oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or fax
them to 202–395–7285. All comments
should reference the 8 digit OMB
number for the collection or the title of
the collection. If you have questions
concerning the collection, please call
Laurie Feinberg at 202–305–1789 or the
DOJ Desk Officer at 202–395–3176.
Written comments and suggestions from
the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your
comments should address one or more
of the following four points:
—Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
New collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Elder
Justice Roadmap Project.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: None.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Adult practitioners, advocates
and researchers in professions related to
elder justice. A recent review of
literature related to elder justice
indicates that the field remains largely
fragmented and without a clear set of
priorities or a roadmap for
advancement. The purpose of this data
collection is to identify policy, practice,
and research priorities in the field of
elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation
and to help develop a strategic roadmap
for activities to address those priorities.
In the first phase of the study, concept
mapping will be used to create a visual
representation of the ways that
professionals in the field perceive the
priorities for elder justice. Concept
mapping is a well-documented method
of applied research that makes explicit,
implicit theoretical models that can be
used for planning and action. The
process requires respondents to
brainstorm a set of statements relevant
to the topic of interest (‘‘brainstorming’’
task), individually sort these statements
into piles based on perceived similarity
(‘‘sorting’’ task), rate each statement on
one or more scales (‘‘rating’’ task), and
interpret the graphical representation
that result from several multivariate
analyses. The collection of data for all
concept mapping activities will be
facilitated via a dedicated project Web
site. The second phase of the study
includes a series of six face-to-face

facilitated discussions with relevant
stakeholder groups, practitioners, and
researchers. In addition up to 9–12
interviews with experts in the various
aspects of the field will be conducted to
obtain their reaction to the preliminary
concept map generated by the
brainstorming, sorting, and rating
process and asked to provide
information about what may be missing,
need amplification, or to be interrelated
in a different manner than on the
preliminary concept map. Guiding
questions and discussion prompts,
derived from the concept mapping
results, will be used to gather
information from the respondents on the
meaning and potential use of the
concept mapping results. This input
will be aggregated and linked to the
emerging conceptual framework that
will result in a better understanding of
the complex interrelationships between
policy, practice, and research elements
in the field of elder justice. Thus, the
challenges, and needs of practitioners
on the front lines will inform the work
of researchers, and the researchers’
findings will inform the work of policy
makers and practitioners, and the policy
makers will communicate with
researchers and practitioners about what
information thy need to properly inform
policy. A single concept mapping
process will provide an efficient means
for managing participation while
simultaneously integrating perspectives
that are complementary and mutually
informative.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that 750
respondents total will participate in the
concept mapping phase of this
collection, and that 60 respondents total
will participate in the facilitated
discussions. The table below shows the
estimated number of respondents for

The brainstorming task will take
respondents 5–10 minutes to complete.
The sorting task will take respondents
approximately 30–60 minutes to
complete. The rating task will take
respondents approximately 30 minutes
to complete. None of these tasks will
require participants to complete in one
sitting; rather, participants can return to
work on task completion as often as
they chose, until the task deadline.
Respondents will have approximately
4 weeks to brainstorm and
approximately 6 weeks to sort and rate.
Facilitated discussions will require
approximately 4 hours of respondents’
time.
Expert interview will require no more
than 90 minutes of respondents’ time.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are an estimated 948
total public burden hours associated
with this collection. This is planned to
be a one-time data collection.
