articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
contentions.
Comments received in response to
this solicitation, including names and
addresses of those who comment, will
be part of the public record for this
proposed action and will be available
for public inspection.
Preliminary Issues
The interdisciplinary team has
conducted field surveys and data
research to identify preliminary issues
of concern with this proposal. The
primary concern is the potential for
sediment or heavy metal discharges into
streams from mining operations,
potentially impacting water quality, fish
and fish habitat (pools and
temperature).
Within the Granite Creek Watershed,
under section 303(d) of the Clean Water
Act, the Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) has listed
Beaver Creek and Clear Creek as water
quality limited for temperature, and
Bull Run Creek and Granite Creek as
water quality limited for temperature
and sediment. Fish species listed as
threatened under the Endangered
Species Act occurring within the
watershed include bull trout and middle
Columbia River steelhead trout. Based
on these preliminary issues and the
level of activity proposed at some sites,
there is the potential for significant
impacts to some resources, therefore an
EIS fits the scope of this analysis rather
than an Environmental Assessment
(EA).

decide whether or not to select the
proposed action as stated or modified,
or to select an alternative to it, any
mitigation measures needed, and any
monitoring that may be required.
Authority: 40 CFR 1501.7 and 1508.22;
Forest Service Handbook 1909.15, Section
21. Comments submitted anonymously will
be accepted and considered, however those
who only submit anonymous comments will
not have standing to appeal the subsequent
decision under 36 CFR part 215.
Scoping Process
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement. Public participation is
especially important at several points
during the development of the EIS. The
Forest Service is seeking information,
comments, and coordination with
Federal, State, and local agencies, and
tribal governments, individuals or
organizations who may be interested in
or affected by the proposed action. The
most useful comments to developing or
refining the proposed action would be
site-specific concerns and those that
pertain to authorizing mining activities
within the Granite Creek Watershed
Mining Plans analysis area that meets
the Purpose of and Need for Action.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments at such times and in
such manner that they are useful to the
agency’s preparation of the
environmental impact statement.
Therefore, comments should be
provided prior to the close of the
comment period and should clearly

2011 Company Organization Survey
Bureau of the Census,
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of determination.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of the Census
(Census Bureau) is conducting the 2011
Company Organization Survey. The
survey’s data are needed, in part, to
update the multilocation companies in
the Business Register. The survey,
which has been conducted annually
since 1974, is designed to collect
information on the number of
employees, payroll, geographic location,
current operational status, and kind of
business for each establishment of
companies with more than one location.
We have determined that annual data
collected from this survey are needed to
aid the efficient performance of
essential governmental functions, and
that these data have significant
application to the needs of the public
and industry. The data derived from this
survey are not available from any other
source.
ADDRESSES: The Census Bureau will
furnish report forms to organizations
included in the survey, and additional
copies are available by written request
to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau,
Washington, DC 20233–0101.

SUMMARY:
Sections
182, 195, 224, and 225 of Title 13,
United States Code (U.S.C.), authorize
the Census Bureau to undertake surveys
necessary to furnish current data on the
subjects covered by the major censuses.
Years that end in 2 and 7 are considered
‘‘census years.’’ In non-census years,
companies report only on basic
company affiliation and operations of
establishments not within the scope of
the economic censuses. In these noncensus years, all multi-establishment
companies with 250 or more employees
report survey information. Also, groups
of smaller companies that are divided
into panels may be selected to report
information for one of the non-census
years. Smaller companies may be
selected if an organizational change
within the company is indicated, or if
they have been selected through the
probability sampling procedure. The

next economic census will be conducted
for the year 2012. The data collected in
the Company Organization Survey will
be within the general scope, type, and
character of those that are covered in the
economic censuses. Forms NC–99001
(for multi-establishment companies) and
NC–99007 (for single-location
companies) will be used to collect the
desired data.
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 unless that collection of
information displays a current valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number. In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44
U.S.C., Chapter 35, the OMB approved
Forms NC–99001 and NC–99007 under
OMB Control Number 0607–0444. We
will furnish report forms to
organizations included in the survey,
and additional copies are available upon
written request to the Director, U.S.
Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–
0101.
I have, therefore, directed that the
2011 Company Organization Survey be
conducted for the purpose of collecting
these data.

Foreign-Trade Zone 277—Western
Maricopa County, AZ; Application for
Temporary/Interim Manufacturing
Authority; Sub-Zero, Inc.;

An application has been submitted to
the Executive Secretary of the ForeignTrade Zones Board (the Board) by the
Greater Maricopa County Foreign Trade
Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 277,
requesting temporary/interim
manufacturing (T/IM) authority within
FTZ 277 at the Sub-Zero, Inc. (SubZero), facility, located in Goodyear,
Arizona. The application was filed on
October 3, 2011.
The Sub-Zero facility (260 employees,
10 acres, 150,000 units/year) is located
at 4295 N. Cotton Lane within the Palm
Valley 303 Industrial Park in Goodyear,
Arizona (Site 3). Under T/IM

procedures, Sub-Zero has requested
authority to produce refrigerators
(HTSUS 8418.10 and 8418.21, duty rate:
free). Foreign components that would be
used in production (representing 45% of
the value of the finished refrigerators)
include: ABS resin (HTSUS 3903.30),
fittings (3917.40), rubber gaskets
(4016.93), articles of rubber (4016.99),
fasteners (7318.14, 7318.15, 7318.29),
hinges (8302.10), brackets (8302.50),
plates (8310.00), compressors (8414.30,
8414.90), parts of refrigerators (8418.99),
filters (8421.21), filter/dryer (8421.29),
valves (8481.80), motors (8501.10,
8501.40), inverters (8504.40), wiring
harnesses (8516.80), switches (8536.50),
plugs and sockets (8536.61), controllers
(8537.10), lamps (8539.22), and
conductors (8544.42) (duty rate range:
free–8.6%). T/IM authority could be
granted for a period of up to two years.
FTZ procedures could exempt SubZero from customs duty payments on
the foreign components used in export
production. The company anticipates
that some 10 percent of the plant’s
shipments will be exported. On its
domestic sales, Sub-Zero would be able
to choose the duty rate during customs
entry procedures that applies to
refrigerators (duty rate: free) for the
foreign inputs noted above.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Pierre Duy 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 pursuant to Board
Orders 1347 and 1480.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
following address: Office of the
Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade
Zones Board, U.S. Department of
Commerce, Room 2111, 1401
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington,
DC 20230. The closing period for their
receipt is November 10, 2011.
Sub-Zero has also submitted a request
to the FTZ Board for FTZ manufacturing
authority beyond a two-year period,
which may include additional products
and components. It should be noted that
the request for extended authority
would be docketed separately and
would be processed as a distinct
proceeding. Any party wishing to
submit comments for consideration
regarding the request for extended
authority would need to submit such
comments pursuant to the separate
notice that would be published for that
request.
