Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
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

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.

[Docket 9–2012]
Foreign-Trade Zone 202—Los Angeles,
CA; Application for Reorganization and
Expansion Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the Board of Harbor
Commissioners of the City of Los
Angeles, grantee of FTZ 202, requesting
authority to reorganize and expand the
zone under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the Board
(74 FR 1170, 1/12/2009 (correction 74
FR 3987, 1/22/2009); 75 FR 71069–
71070, 11/22/2010). The ASF is an
option for grantees for the establishment
or reorganization of general-purpose
zones and can permit significantly
greater flexibility in the designation of
new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for
operators/users located within a
grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of
the Board’s standard 2,000-acre
activation limit for a general-purpose
zone project. The application was
submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade
Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a81u), and the regulations of the Board
(15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed
on February 9, 2012.
FTZ 202 was approved on July 14,
1994 (Board Order 693, 59 FR 37464,

and, on August 12, 2011 (Board Order
1779, 76 FR 53115, 08/25/2011).

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 South Main Street,
Unit D, Carson (Los Angeles County). In
addition, the applicant is requesting to
renumber existing Site 9 into three
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.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Christopher Kemp 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 to the Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for
their receipt is April 16, 2012. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to April 30, 2012.
A copy of the application will be
