I. Abstract
The U.S. Census Bureau plans to
request an extension of the current
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) clearance of the Manufacturers’
Shipments, Inventories and Orders (M3)
survey. The Manufacturers’ Shipments,
Inventories, and Orders (M3) survey
requests data from domestic
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
manufacturers on form M–3 (SD), which
will be mailed at the end of each month.
Data requested are shipments, new
orders, unfilled orders, total inventory,
materials and supplies, work-in-process,
and finished goods. It is currently the
only survey that provides broad-based
monthly statistical data on the economic
conditions in the domestic
manufacturing sector.
The M3 survey is designed to measure
current industrial activity and to
provide an indication of future
production commitments. The value of
shipments measures the value of goods
delivered during the month by domestic
manufacturers. Estimates of new orders
serve as an indicator of future
production commitments and represent
the current sales value of new orders
received during the month, net of
cancellations. Substantial accumulation
or depletion of unfilled orders measures
excess or deficient demand for
manufactured products. The level of
inventories, especially in relation to
shipments, is frequently used to monitor
the business cycle.
We do not plan any changes to the
M–3 (SD) form. The estimated total
annual burden hours will remain 17,200
due to no increase in the number of
respondents.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents submit data on form
M–3 (SD) via mail, facsimile machine,
or via the Internet. Analysts call
respondents who usually report, to
obtain data in time for preparing the
monthly estimates.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0607–0008.
Form Number: M–3 (SD). You can
obtain information on the proposed
content at this Web site: http//
www.census.gov/mcd/clearance.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Affected Public: Businesses, large and
small, or other for profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,300.
Estimated Time per Response: 20
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 17,200.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$510,152.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C. Sections
131 and 182.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have

(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or

approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon
From Norway: Final Results of Full
Third Sunset Review of Antidumping
Duty Order
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On January 3, 2011, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated a sunset review of
the antidumping duty (AD) order on
fresh and chilled Atlantic salmon from
Norway pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). See Initiation of Five-Year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 76 FR 89 (January 3,
2011) (Sunset Initiation). On the basis of
adequate substantive responses
submitted by domestic and respondent
interested parties, the Department
determined to conduct a full sunset
review of this AD order pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(2). As a result of our
analysis, the Department finds that
revocation of the AD order would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping.
DATES: Effective Date: November 14,
2011.

Background
On January 3, 2011, the Department
initiated the third sunset review of the
AD order on fresh and chilled Atlantic
salmon from Norway pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act. See Sunset
Initiation. On January 13, 2011, the
Government of Norway (GON),
Norwegian Seafood Federation (NSF),
and Aquaculture Division of the
Norwegian Seafood Association
(ADNSA) (collectively, the
respondents), filed letters of appearance
in the review.1 On January 18, 2011,
Phoenix Salmon U.S., Inc. (Phoenix
Salmon), a domestic producer of fresh
and chilled Atlantic salmon, filed a
notice of intent to participate in the
review.2
On January 21, 2011, NSF and
ADNSA supplemented their letter of
appearance by submitting to the
Department a list of their members. On
February 2, 2011, the Department
received a substantive response from
Phoenix Salmon and a joint substantive
response from the respondents within
the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).
Based on a finding that the
substantive responses were adequate,
we determined to conduct a full sunset
review of this AD order. See
Memorandum to Gary Taverman, Acting
Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, from Melissa Skinner,
Director, Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations, Office
3, regarding ‘‘Adequacy Determination:
Third Sunset Reviews of the
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Orders on Fresh and Chilled Atlantic
Salmon From Norway’’ (April 6, 2011).
On July 29, 2011, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the full third
sunset review of the AD order on fresh
and chilled Atlantic salmon from
Norway. See Fresh and Chilled Atlantic
Salmon From Norway: Preliminary
Results of Full Third Sunset Review of
Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 45513
(July 29, 2011) (Preliminary Results) and
accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum. We preliminarily found
that dumping was likely to continue or
recur.

public documents and all other public
documents and public versions of proprietary
documents with regard to this third full sunset
review are available on the public record located in
the Department’s Central Records Unit at room 7046

The Department invited interested
parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results. On September 19, 2011, we
received a case brief from the GON, and
on September 26, 2011, we received a
rebuttal brief from Phoenix Salmon. We
did not conduct a hearing because a
hearing was not requested.
Scope of the Order

the species Atlantic salmon (Salmon
Salar) marketed as specified herein; the

Chum (‘‘dog’’).3 Atlantic salmon is a
whole or nearly-whole fish, typically
(but not necessarily) marketed gutted,

The subject merchandise is typically

Excluded from the subject merchandise
are fillets, steaks and other cuts of
Atlantic salmon. Also excluded are
