No. 337–TA–787, Order No. 1) consolidating the 787 investigation with the 773 investigation. The consolidated investigation proceeded under the caption of the 773 investigation. On December 13, 2011, Ogma and Toshiba filed a joint motion to terminate the investigation as to Toshiba based on a settlement agreement. On December 21, 2011, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 61) granting the motion to terminate the investigation as to Toshiba. Because the Toshiba entities were the last remaining respondents in the investigation, the ALJ also determined that the investigation should be terminated. No petitions for review of the ID were filed. The Commission has determined not to review the ID. The consolidated investigation is terminated. The authority for the Commission’s determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part 210 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).

(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The Department is unable to estimate with any precision the number of entities producing visual depictions of simulated sexually explicit conduct. As a partial indication, the Department’s 2008 regulatory review, including the information collection request and PRA Supporting Statement (RIN 1105–AB19), cited data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2002. Employing the same method of analysis, according to data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2007, there were 11,974 establishments engaged in motion picture and video production in the United States. Based on a rough assumption that 10% of the establishments are engaged in the production of visual depictions of simulated sexually explicit conduct, the Department estimates that approximately 1,974 motion picture and video producing establishments are required to comply with these statutory requirements. (The Department does not certify this estimate.) Additionally, the statute provides an exemption from these requirements applicable in certain circumstances, and it requires producers to submit certifications to qualify for this exemption. From March 18, 2009, the effective date of the certification regime, to the present, the Department has received approximately 865 certification letters. For the entities that qualify for the exemption, the Department estimates that it would take less than 20 hours per year to prepare the biennial certification required for the exemption. (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: If OMB were to assume that 3,000,000 visual depictions of simulated sexually explicit conduct are created each year and that it requires 6 minutes to complete the record-keeping requirement for each depiction, the record-keeping requirements would impose a burden of 300,000 hours. If, however, OMB were to assume that producers of 90% of these depictions qualify for the statutory exemption from these requirements, the requirements would only impose a burden of 30,000 hours (These estimates were included in PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the Department’s 2008 regulatory review, including the information collection request and PRA Supporting Statement (RIN 1105–AB19).

Summary of Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Renewal of a currently approved 
collection.
    (2) Title: Inspection of Records Relating to Visual Depictions of 
Simulated Sexually Explicit Performances.
    (3) Agency form number, if any: None.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Business or other for-profit. Other: 
None.
    Abstract: This is a renewal of an existing information collection 
implementing the record-keeping, labeling, and inspection requirements 
of 28 CFR part 75, accounting for changes in the underlying statute 
made by Congress in enacting the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety 
Act of 2006.

Need for Collection

    The information collection documents the record-keeping, labeling, 
and inspection requirements for producers of visual depictions of 
actual and simulated sexually explicit conduct, and the certification 
regime for the exemption from these requirements, in certain 
circumstances, for producers of visual depictions of simulated sexually 
explicit conduct and visual depictions of actual sexually explicit 
conduct constituting the lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic 
area of a person. These statutory requirements of 28 CFR part 75, 
codified at 18 U.S.C. 2257 and 2257A, are designed to ensure that 
visual depictions of sexually explicit conduct are produced in 
accordance with laws and regulations, and without the involvement of 
minors under 18 years of age.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The Department 
is unable to estimate with any precision the number of entities 
producing visual depictions of simulated sexually explicit conduct. As 
a partial indication, the Department's 2008 regulatory review, 
including the information collection request and PRA Supporting 
Statement (RIN 1105-AB19), cited data collected by the U.S. Census 
Bureau in 2002. Employing the same method of analysis, according to 
data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2007, there were 11,974 
establishments engaged in motion picture and video production in the 
United States. Based on a rough assumption that 10% of the 
establishments are engaged in the production of visual depictions of 
simulated sexually explicit conduct, the Department estimates that 
approximately 1,974 motion picture and video producing establishments 
are required to comply with these statutory requirements. (The 
Department does not certify this estimate.)
    Additionally, the statute provides an exemption from these 
requirements applicable in certain circumstances, and it requires 
producers to submit certifications to qualify for this exemption. From 
March 18, 2009, the effective date of the certification regime, to the 
present, the Department has received approximately 865 certification 
letters. For the entities that qualify for the exemption, the 
Department estimates that it would take less than 20 hours per year to 
prepare the biennial certification required for the exemption.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: If OMB were to assume that 3,000,000 visual 
depictions of simulated sexually explicit conduct are created each year 
and that it requires 6 minutes to complete the record-keeping 
requirement for each depiction, the record-keeping requirements would 
impose a burden of 300,000 hours. If, however, OMB were to assume that 
producers of 90% of these depictions qualify for the statutory 
exemption from these requirements, the requirements would only impose a 
burden of 30,000 hours (These estimates were included in the 
Department's 2008 regulatory review, including the information 
collection request and PRA Supporting Statement (RIN 1105-AB19). The 
Department does not certify the accuracy of these numbers.)
    If additional information is required contact: Jerri Murray, 
Department Clearance Officer, Policy and Planning Staff, Justice 
Management Division, Department of Justice, Two Constitution Square, 
Room 2E-508, 145 Street NE., Washington, DC 20530.
