Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 251 / Friday, December 30, 2011 / Notices
ACTION:
Notice of determination.
Section 423(c) of the Tax
Reform Act of 1986, as amended (19
U.S.C. 2703 note), requires the United
States International Trade Commission
to determine annually the amount
(expressed in gallons) that is equal to 7
percent of the U.S. domestic market for
fuel ethyl alcohol during the 12-month
period ending on the preceding
September 30. This determination is to
be used to establish the ‘‘base quantity’’
of imports of fuel ethyl alcohol with a
zero percent local feedstock requirement
that can be imported from U.S. insular
possessions or CBERA-beneficiary
countries. The base quantity to be used
by U.S. Customs and Border Protection
in the administration of the law is the
greater of 60 million gallons or 7 percent
of U.S. consumption, as determined by
the Commission.
For the 12-month period ending
September 30, 2011, the Commission
has determined the level of U.S.
consumption of fuel ethyl alcohol to be
12.955 billion gallons; 7 percent of this
amount is 906.9 million gallons (these
figures have been rounded). Therefore,
the base quantity for 2012 should be
906.9 million gallons. The
Commission’s determination is based on
official data of the U.S. Department of
Energy.
ADDRESSES: All Commission offices,
including the Commission’s hearing
rooms, are located in the United States

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information collected and compiled in
the MLS program is used to satisfy the
legislatively required reporting
mandated by Clause (iii) of Section
309(2)(15)(a)(1)(A) of the Workforce
Investment Act, which states that the
Secretary of Labor shall oversee the
development, maintenance, and
continuous improvements of the
program to measure the incidence of,
industrial and geographical location of,
and number of workers displaced by,
permanent layoffs and plant closings. In
addition to the BLS uses of MLS data,
such data are used by Congress, the
Executive Branch, the business, labor,
and academic communities, SWAs, and
the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) for
both macro- and microeconomic
analysis, including specific labor market
studies geared towards manpower
assistance and development. Moreover,
State agencies use the MLS data in
various ways, including the
identification of geographic areas in
need of special manpower services; the
identification of ailing or troubled
industries; the identification of specific
employers needing assistance; the
targeting of outreach activities for the
unemployed; and the determination of
those workers in need of temporary
health care services. Respondents
consist of entirely private, for-profit and
not-for-profit establishments.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
