Title: Farm to School Census.
OMB Control Number: 0536—NEW.
Summary of Collection: Section 243 of
the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act
(HHFKA) of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–296)
directed USDA to establish a Farm to
School program in order to assist
eligible entities through grants and
technical assistance, in implementing
farm to school programs that improve
the access to local foods in eligible
schools. Under 7 U.S.C. 427, the
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized
and directed to conduct and to stimulate
research into the laws and principles
underlying the basic problems of
agriculture in its broadest aspects,
including but limited to research
relating to the improvement of the
quality of, and the development of new
and improved methods of the
production, marketing, distribution,
processing, and utilization of plant and
animal commodities at all stages from
the original producer through the
ultimate consumer. The Farm to School
Census is a new, one-time, data
collection. A questionnaire on
purchases of local foods and other farm
to school related activities will be sent
to public school district School Food
Authorities (SFA) in the 50 United
States and the District of Columbia.
Need and Use of the Information:
USDA’s Farm to School Program will
use data from the Farm to School
Census to develop a baseline assessment
of farm to school programs and to set
priorities for USDA outreach and
technical support, as mandated by the
HHFKA. The Farm to School Census
will also be used to establish a baseline
measure of local food purchases in
schools and set priorities for USDA
programming related to local school
food sourcing. The Farm to School
Census data will be used in mapping
SFAs that procured local foods for
school meal programs in 2011–12 in
order to characterize the geographic
distribution farm to school programs
and obtain State-level estimates of the
prevalence of local procurement among
SFAs.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local or Tribal Government.

Initiation of New Shipper Reviews

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), we find
that Yingqing’s NSR request meets the
threshold requirements for initiation of
a NSR for the shipment of steel wire
garment hangers from the PRC produced
and exported by Yingqing.8 The period
of review (‘‘POR’’) is October 1, 2011,
through September 30, 2012.9 The
Department intends to issue the
preliminary results of this NSR no later
than 180 days from the date of
initiation, and the final results no later
than 270 days from the date of
initiation.10
It is the Department’s usual practice,
in cases involving non-market
economies (‘‘NMEs’’), to require that a
company seeking to establish eligibility
for an antidumping duty rate separate
from the NME entity-wide rate provide
evidence of de jure and de facto absence
of government control over the
company’s export activities.
Accordingly, we will issue a
questionnaire to Yingqing, which will
include a section requesting information
with regard to its export activities for
separate rate purposes. The NSR will
proceed if the response provides
sufficient indication that Yingqing is not
subject to either de jure or de facto
government control with respect to its
exports of subject merchandise.
We will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection to allow, at the option
of the importer, the posting, until the
completion of the NSR, of a bond or
security in lieu of a cash deposit for
each entry of the subject merchandise
from Yingqing in accordance with
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Yingqing
certified that it produced and exported
the subject merchandise, the sale of
which is the basis for this NSR request,
we will apply the bonding privilege to
Yingqing only for subject merchandise
which Yingqing both produced and
exported.
Interested parties requiring access to
proprietary information in this NSR
should submit applications for
disclosure under administrative
protective order in accordance with 19
CFR 351.305 and 19 CFR 351.306.
This initiation and notice are
published in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The antidumping duty order on steel
wire garment hangers from the PRC
(‘‘the Order’’) was published on October
6, 2008.1 On October 22, 2012, pursuant
to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),

received a timely request to conduct a
NSR of the Order from Hangzhou
Yingqing Material Co. Ltd. and
Hangzhou Qingqing Mechanical Co. Ltd.
(together, ‘‘Yingqing’’).2 Yingqing has
certified that it is the producer and
exporter of the subject merchandise
upon which the request was based.3

the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i),

(‘‘POI’’).4 In addition, pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Yingqing
certified that, since the initiation of the
investigation, it has never been affiliated
with any PRC exporter or producer who
exported subject merchandise to the
United States during the POI, including
those respondents not individually
examined during the investigation.5 As
required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B),
Yingqing also certified that its export
activities were not controlled by the
PRC central government.6
In addition to the certifications
described above, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Yingqing submitted
documentation establishing the
following: (1) The date on which it first
shipped subject merchandise for export
to the United States; (2) the volume of

first sale to an unaffiliated customer in
