Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories, and Orders (M3) Survey. OMB Control Number: 0607–0008. Form Number(s): M–3(SD). Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Burden Hours: 17,200. Number of Respondents: 4,300. Average Hours Per Response: 20 minutes. Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau is requesting an extension of the currently approved collection for the Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories, and Orders (M3) survey. This survey collects monthly data from domestic manufacturers on Form M–3 (SD), which is mailed at the end of each month. Data requested are shipments, new orders, unfilled orders, and inventories by stage of fabrication. The M3 is currently the only survey that provides broad-based monthly statistical data on the economic conditions in the domestic manufacturing sector. The 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 backlogs 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. This survey provides an essential component of the current economic indicators needed for assessing the evolving status of the economy and formulating economic policy. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has designated this survey as a principal federal economic indicator. The shipments and inventory data are essential inputs to the gross domestic product (GDP), while the orders data are direct inputs to the leading economic VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:09 Feb 14, 2012 Jkt 226001 indicator series. The GDP and the economic indicator series would be incomplete without these data. The survey also provides valuable and timely domestic manufacturing data for economic planning and analysis to business firms, trade associations, research and consulting agencies, and academia. The data are used for analyzing shortand long-term trends, both in the manufacturing sector and as related to other sectors of the economy. The data on value of shipments, especially when adjusted for change in inventory, measure current levels of production. New orders figures serve as an indicator of future production commitments. Changes in the level of unfilled orders, because of excess or shortfall of new orders compared with shipments, are used to measure the excess (or deficiency) in the demand for manufactured products. Changes in the level of inventories and the relation of these to shipments are used to project future movements in manufacturing activity. These statistics are valuable for analysts of business cycle conditions including members of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), the Department of the Treasury, business firms, trade associations, private research and consulting agencies, and the academic community. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. Frequency: Monthly. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Sections 131, 182, 193, and 224. OMB Desk Officer: Brian HarrisKojetin, (202) 395–7314. Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained by calling or writing Jennifer Jessup, Departmental Paperwork Clearance Officer, (202) 482–0336, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at jjessup@doc.gov).

FR 71069-71070, 11/22/2010). The ASF is an option for grantees for the

``service area'' in the context of the Board's standard 2,000-acre 
activation limit for a general-purpose zone project. The application

    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be all of

    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone project to include eight of the existing sites as ``magnet'' sites 
and eleven of the existing sites as ``usage-driven sites''. The ASF 
allows for the possible exemption of one magnet site from the 
``sunset'' time limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and 
the applicant proposes that Site 1 be so exempted. The applicant is 
also requesting approval of the following new ``usage-driven'' site: 
Proposed Site 29 (1.92 acres)--NNR Global Logistics USA, Inc., 21023

separate usage-driven sites (Sites 9, 30 and 31) as well as to remove 
existing Site 16, Site 24 and Site 26 from the zone project due to 
changed circumstances. Because the ASF only pertains to establishing or 
reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the application would have no 
impact on FTZ 202's authorized subzones.

FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts and
