SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Organizational Information.
OMB Number: 0524–0026.
Expiration Date of Current Approval:
April 30, 2013.
Type of Request: Intent to extend a
currently approved information
collection for three years.
Abstract: NIFA has primary
responsibility for providing linkages
between the Federal and State
components of a broad-based, national
agricultural research, extension, and
education system. Focused on national
issues, its purpose is to represent the
Secretary of Agriculture and carry out
the intent of Congress by administering
formula and grant funds appropriated
for agricultural research, extension, and
education. Before awards can be made,
certain information is required from
applicants to effectively assess the
potential recipient’s capacity to manage
Federal funds.
Need for the Information: Form
NIFA–666 ‘‘Organizational
Information’’: Enables NIFA to
determine that applicants recommended
for awards will be responsible recipients
of Federal funds. The information
pertains to organizational management
and financial matters of the potential
grantee. This form and the documents
which the applicant attaches to it
provide NIFA with information such as
the legal name of grantee, certification
that the organization has the legal
authority to accept Federal funding,
identification and signatures of the key
officials of the organization, the
organization’s practices in regard to
compensation rates and benefits of
employees, insurance for equipment,
subcontracting with other organizations,
etc., as well as the financial condition
of the organization and certification that
the organization is not delinquent on
Federal taxes. All of this information is
considered by NIFA prior to award to
determine whether the grantee is both
managerially and fiscally responsible.
This information is submitted to NIFA
on a one-time basis and updated
accordingly. If sufficient changes occur

within the organization, the grantee
submits revised information.
Estimate of the Burden: NIFA
estimates the number of responses for
the Form NIFA–666 will be 150 with an
estimated response time of 6.3 hours per
form, representing a total annual burden
of 945 hours for this form. These
estimates are based on a survey of
grantees that were approved for grant
awards.
They were asked to give an estimate
of the time it took them to complete
each form. This estimate was to include
such things as: (1) Reviewing the
instructions; (2) searching existing data
sources; (3) gathering and maintaining
the data needed; and (4) actual
completion of the forms. The average
time it took each respondent was
calculated from their responses.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have a practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
information collection on those who are
to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

for grantees for the establishment or
reorganization of zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the
designation of new subzones or ‘‘usagedriven’’ 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 zone.
The application was submitted pursuant
to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u) and the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR part

FTZ 124 was approved by the Board
on December 20, 1985 (Board Order 319,

The applicant is now requesting

Department initiated the review of
Shanghai Jinneng.4 Shanghai Jinneng
certified that the company had no
shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR on August
9, 2012.5 On October 18, 2012, the
Department notified U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) of the
company claiming no shipments and
requested that if CBP has information
contradicting the claim, it provide such
information.6 On November 9, 2012, the
Department notified parties that the
results of the CBP query indicated that
Shanghai Jinneng had not shipped
subject merchandise during the POR.7
As explained in the memorandum
from the Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, the Department has
exercised its discretion to toll deadlines
for the duration of the closure of the
Federal Government from October 29
through October 30, 2012.8 Thus, all
deadlines in this segment of the
proceeding have been extended by two
days. The revised deadline for the
preliminary results of this review is now
March 4, 2013.
Scope of the Order
Imports covered by the order are
shipments of silicon metal containing at
least 96.00 but less than 99.99 percent
of silicon by weight. Also covered by
the order is silicon metal from the PRC
containing between 89.00 and 96.00
percent silicon by weight but which
contain a higher aluminum content than
the silicon metal containing at least
96.00 percent but less than 99.99
percent silicon by weight. Silicon metal
is currently provided for under
subheadings 2804.69.10 and 2804.69.50
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) as a
chemical product, but is commonly
referred to as a metal. Semiconductorgrade silicon (silicon metal containing
by weight not less than 99.99 percent of
silicon and provided for in subheading
2804.61.00 of the HTSUS) is not subject
to the order. Although the HTSUS
