Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 79 / Tuesday, April 24, 2012 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES are wholesome, not adulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. The statutes include an exception from the provisions requiring inspection of the preparation or processing of meat, meat food, poultry, and poultry products when the preparation or processing produces products in normal retail quantities, and the operations are of the type that are traditionally and usually conducted at retail stores and restaurants (21 U.S.C. 661(c)(2) and 454(c)(2)). FSIS’s regulations (9 CFR 303.1(d) and 381.10(d)) elaborate on the conditions where these exemptions apply to retail operations involving the preparation or processing of meat, meat food, poultry, and poultry products. Sales to Hotels, Restaurants, and Similar Institutions Under these regulations, sales to hotels, restaurants, and similar institutions (other than household consumers) disqualify a store for the exemption if the product sales exceed either of two maximum limits: 25 percent of the dollar value of total product sales or the calendar year dollar limitation set by the Administrator. The dollar limitation is adjusted automatically during the first quarter of the calendar year if the Consumer Price Index (CPI), published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, shows an increase or decrease of more than $500 in the price of the same volume of product for the previous year. FSIS publishes a notice of the adjusted dollar limitations in the Federal Register. (See 9 CFR 303.1(d)(2)(iii)(b) and 381.10(d)(2)(iii)(b).) The CPI for 2011 reveals an annual average price increase for meat and meat food products at 8.8 percent and for poultry products at 2.9 percent. When rounded to the nearest $100, the dollar limitation for meat and meat food products increased by $5,400, and the dollar limitation for poultry products increased by $1,500. Because the dollar limitation of meat, meat food products, poultry, and poultry products increased by more than $500, FSIS is increasing the dollar limitation on sales to hotels, restaurants, and similar institutions to $67,300 for meat and meat food products and to $51,700 for poultry and poultry products for calendar year 2012, in accordance with 9 CFR 303.1(d)(2)(iii)(b) and 381.10 (d)(2)(iii)(b).

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: Quarterly Financial Report (QFR) Program. OMB Control Number: 0607–0432. Form Number(s): QFR–200(MT), QFR–201(MG), QFR–300(S). Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection. Burden Hours: 115,111. Number of Respondents: 12,574. Average Hours per Response: 2 hours and 17 minutes. Needs and Uses: The QFR program has published up-to-date aggregate statistics on the financial results and position of U.S. corporations since 1947. The program currently collects and publishes financial data for the manufacturing, mining, wholesale trade, retail trade, information, and professional, scientific, and technical services (except legal) sectors. The survey is a principal economic indicator that provides financial data essential to calculation of key U.S. Government measures of national economic performance. The importance of this data collection is reflected by the granting of specific authority to conduct the program in Title 13 of the United States Code, Section 91, which requires that financial statistics of business operations be collected and published quarterly. Public Law 109–79, Section 91 extended the authority of the Secretary of Commerce to conduct the QFR program through September 30, 2015. The QFR is planning to expand the scope of collection to include, along with corporations currently surveyed, additional service sectors. The expanded collection will include the real estate and rental and leasing (except VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:40 Apr 23, 2012 Jkt 226001 lessors of nonfinancial intangible assets), administrative and support and waste management and remediation services, health care and social assistance, and accommodation and food services. We plan to begin collecting data for these service sectors beginning with the collection of data for fourth quarter of 2012. Services represent the largest block of industries in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), about 55 percent of the economy. By expanding into these four service sectors, the QFR program can begin providing statistics on the financial results and position for important parts of the economy for which no current and systematically collected data are now available. The survey forms used to conduct the QFR are: QFR–200 (MT) Long Form (manufacturing, mining, wholesale trade, and retail trade); QFR–201 (MG) Short Form (manufacturing); and the QFR–300 (S) Long Form (services). Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. Frequency: Quarterly. Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Section 91. 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). Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to Brian Harris-Kojetin, OMB Desk Officer either by fax (202–395– 7245) or email (bharrisk@omb.eop.gov).
