SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
I. Abstract
The U.S. Census Bureau plans to
conduct the 2013 through 2015
Information and Communication
Technology Survey (ICTS). The annual
survey collects data on two categories of
non-capitalized expenses (purchases;
and operating leases and rental
payments) for four types of information
and communication technology
equipment and software (computers and
peripheral equipment; ICT equipment,
excluding computers and peripherals;
electromedical and electrotherapeutic
apparatus; and computer software,
including payroll associated with
software development). The survey also
collects capital expenditures data on the
four types of ICT equipment and
software cited above. Only non-farm,
non-governmental companies,
organizations, and associations
operating in the United States are
included in this survey.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA), Federal Reserve Board, Bureau of
Labor Statistics and industry analysts
use these data to evaluate productivity
and economic growth prospects. In
addition, the ICTS provides improved
source data significant to BEA’s estimate
of the investment component of Gross
Domestic Product, capital stock
estimates, and capital flow tables.
II. Method of Collection
For the 2012 and prior ICT data
collection, the Census Bureau used mail
out/mail back survey forms to collect
data. Companies were able to respond
via Centurion (The Bureau’s online
reporting system), by mail, or by using
our toll-free number to reply via secure
facsimile machine. Companies were
asked to respond to the survey within
30 days of the initial mailing. Letters
and/or telephone calls encouraging
participation were directed to
companies that had not responded by
the designated time.
Employer companies were mailed one
of three forms based on their diversity
of operations and number of industries
with payroll. Companies that operated
in only one industry received an ICT–
1(S) form. Companies that operated in
more than one, but less than nine
industries received an ICT–1(M) form.
And, companies that operated in nine or
more industries received an ICT–1(L).
The Census Bureau is considering
collecting the 2013 ICT data primarily
through electronic reporting. Companies
would receive a notification letter
containing their User ID and password,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:51 Aug 16, 2013
Jkt 229001
and would be directed to report online
through the Census Bureau’s Business
Help Site. The online reporting
instrument would be an electronic
version of the paper data collection
instrument and would be based on their
diversity of operations and number of
industries with payroll. Companies
operating in only one industry will
access an ICT–1(S) form or electronic
instrument. Companies operating in
more than one, but less than nine
industries will access an ICT–1(M) form
or electronic instrument. And,
companies that operate in nine or more
industries would access an ICT–1(L)
form or electronic instrument.
Companies would be able to print the
form through online services or request
a paper form be mailed.
The Census Bureau would continue to
ask companies to respond to the survey
within 30 days. Reminder letters and/or
telephone calls encouraging
participation would continue to be
directed to all companies that have not
responded by the designated time.

Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags From
Thailand: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review; 2011–

SUMMARY: On May 14, 2013, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on
polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs)
from Thailand. The period of review
(POR) is August 1, 2011, through July
31, 2012. For the final results we
continue to find that Trinity Pac Co.
Ltd. (Trinity Pac) has sold subject
merchandise at less than normal value
and that TPN FlexPak Co., Ltd. (TPN)
had no shipments during the POR.
DATES: Effective Date: August 19, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY:
antidumping duty order on PRCBs from
Thailand.1 We invited interested parties
to comment on the Preliminary Results.
We received no comments.
The Department has conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the
antidumping duty order is PRCBs,
which may be referred to as t-shirt
sacks, merchandise bags, grocery bags,
or checkout bags. The subject
merchandise is defined as non-sealable
sacks and bags with handles (including
drawstrings), without zippers or integral
extruded closures, with or without
gussets, with or without printing, of
polyethylene film having a thickness no
greater than 0.035 inch (0.889 mm) and
no less than 0.00035 inch (0.00889 mm),
and with no length or width shorter
than 6 inches (15.24 cm) or longer than
40 inches (101.6 cm). The depth of the
bag may be shorter than 6 inches but not
longer than 40 inches (101.6 cm).
PRCBs are typically provided without
any consumer packaging and free of
charge by retail establishments, e.g.,
grocery, drug, convenience, department,
specialty retail, discount stores, and
restaurants, to their customers to
package and carry their purchased
products. The scope of the order
excludes (1) polyethylene bags that are
not printed with logos or store names
and that are closeable with drawstrings
made of polyethylene film and (2)
polyethylene bags that are packed in
consumer packaging with printing that
refers to specific end-uses other than
packaging and carrying merchandise
from retail establishments, e.g., garbage
bags, lawn bags, trash-can liners.
As a result of changes to the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), imports of the
subject merchandise are currently
classifiable under statistical category
3923.21.0085 of the HTSUS.
Furthermore, although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of the order is
dispositive.
Adverse Facts Available
As explained fully in our Preliminary
Results, we find that Trinity Pac did not
act to the best of its ability to comply
with our request for information that is

necessary for our determination.2
Consequently, we are continuing to rely
on adverse facts available (AFA), in
accordance with sections 776(a) and (b)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, and applying
a rate of 122.88 percent to Trinity Pac.
This rate was applied in the less-thanfair-value investigation as well as in
each successive administrative review.3
Trinity Pac has not been individually
examined in any of the prior segments
of this proceeding. Trinity Pac provided
the Department with no companyspecific commercial information and no
information has been presented in the
current review that calls into question
the relevance or reliability of this rate.
Accordingly, in the Preliminary Results,
we determined that, by using a rate of
122.88 percent that was corroborated in
the investigation and preliminarily
found to be both reliable and relevant to
Trinity Pac in this review, we have
corroborated the AFA rate ‘‘to the extent
practicable.’’ 4 Thus, for the final results,
we continue to find that an AFA rate of
122.88 percent is corroborated, pursuant
to section 776(c) of the Act, and is
otherwise appropriate to apply to
Trinity Pac.5
Final Determination of No Shipments
Consistent with the Preliminary
Results, we continue to determine that
TPN had no shipments during the POR.
Rates for Respondents Not Selected for
Individual Examination
As explained fully in our Preliminary
Results, we are applying a rate of 4.69
percent which is taken from the Section
129 Determination for the original
antidumping duty investigation,6 to the
nine companies that were not selected
