Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: Monthly Retail Trade Survey. OMB Control Number: 0607–0717. Form Number(s): SM–44(12)S, SM– 44(12)SE, SM–44(12)SS, SM–44(12)B, SM–44(12)BE, SM–44(12)BS, SM– 45(12)S, SM–45(12)SE, SM–45(12)SS, SM–45(12)B, SM–45(12)BE, SM– 45(12)BS, SM–72(12)S, and SM–20(12)I. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Burden Hours: 14,427. Number of Respondents: 10,305. Average Hours per Response: 7 minutes. Needs and Uses: The Monthly Retail Trade Survey (MRTS) provides estimates of monthly retail sales, end-ofmonth merchandise inventories, and quarterly e-commerce sales of retailers in the United States. In addition, the survey also provides an estimate of monthly sales at food service establishments and drinking places. Sales, inventories, and e-commerce data provide a current statistical picture of the retail portion of consumer activity. The sales and inventories estimates in the MRTS measure current trends of economic activity that occur in the United States. The survey estimates provide valuable information for economic policy decisions and actions VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:05 Jun 03, 2014 Jkt 232001 by the government and are widely used by private businesses, trade organizations, professional associations, and others for market research and analysis. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) uses these data in determining the consumption portion of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Retail and Food Services Sales during 2013 amounted to $4.5 trillion. The estimates produced in the MRTS are critical to the accurate measurement of total economic activity. The estimates of retail sales represent all operating receipts, including receipts from wholesale sales made at retail locations and services rendered as part of the sale of the goods, by businesses that primarily sell at retail. The sales estimates include sales made on credit as well as on a cash basis, but exclude receipts from sales taxes and interest charges from credit sales. Also excluded is non-operating income from such services as investments and real estate. The estimates of merchandise inventories owned by retailers represent all merchandise located in retail stores, warehouses, offices, or in transit for distribution to retail establishments. The estimates of merchandise inventories exclude fixtures and supplies not held for sale, as well as merchandise held on consignment owned by others. BEA uses inventories data to determine the investment portion of the GDP. Retail e-commerce sales are estimated from the same sample used in the MRTS to estimate preliminary and final U.S. retail sales. The MRTS sample is updated every five years to account for new retail employer businesses (including those selling via the Internet), business deaths, and other changes to the retail business universe. Research was conducted to ensure that retail firms selected in the MRTS sample engaged in e-commerce are representative of the universe of e-commerce retailers. Total e-commerce sales for 2013 were estimated at $263 billion. We publish retail sales and inventories estimates based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). BEA is the primary Federal user of data collected in the MRTS. BEA uses the information in its preparation of the National Income and Products Accounts, and its benchmark and annual input-output tables. Statistics provided from retail sales and inventories estimates are used in the calculation of GDP. If the survey were not conducted, BEA would lack comprehensive data from the retail sector. This would adversely affect the PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 32217 reliability of the National Income and Products Accounts and GDP. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) uses the data as input to their Producer Price Indexes and in developing productivity measurements. The data are also used for gauging current economic trends of the economy. Private businesses use the retail sales and inventories data to compute business activity indexes. The private sector also uses retail sales as a reliable indicator of consumer activity. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. Frequency: Monthly. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., Section 182. This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB. Written Comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publications of this notice to OIRASubmission@ omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395–5806, Dated: May 30, 2014.

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On May 20, 2014, the United States Court of International 
Trade (``CIT'') sustained the Department of Commerce's (``the 
Department'') final results of redetermination pursuant to remand of 
the 2009-2010 antidumping duty administrative review of certain frozen 
warmwater shrimp from the People's Republic of China (``Remand

Diamond Sawblades Mfrs. Coalition v. United States, 626 F.3d 1374 (CAFC 
2010) (``Diamond Sawblades''), the Department is notifying the public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 30, 2012, the CIT remanded this 
case to the Department for reconsideration of the Department's 
selection of the primary surrogate country.\3\ On January 9, 2013, 
based on a request from the Department, the CIT determined to ``permit 
the agency to consider new evidence concerning the question of whether 
Hilltop International provided false or incomplete information 
regarding its affiliates in the course of the fifth administrative 
review (`AR5') of this antidumping duty (`AD') order.'' \4\ Pursuant to 
the Expanded Remand Order, we reconsidered our determination in this 
review and found that Hilltop provided false and incomplete information 
regarding its affiliates and that none of its submissions could be 
relied upon.\5\ Accordingly, we found that Hilltop failed to rebut the 
presumption that it is part of the PRC-wide entity and applied total 
adverse facts available (``AFA'') to the PRC-wide entity, which 
includes Hilltop.\6\ As AFA, we applied a dumping margin of 112.81 
percent, which is the highest rate from any segment of the proceeding 
and the current PRC-wide rate.\7\ On July 23, 2013, the CIT sustained 
our Remand I with respect to the determination that Hilltop failed to 
demonstrate its eligibility for a separate rate and to apply AFA to the 
PRC-wide entity.\8\ However, the CIT remanded this case to the 
Department to reexamine and corroborate the 112.81 percent PRC-wide 
rate or choose a different countrywide rate that better reflects 
commercial reality.\9\ Pursuant to the Remand Order II, we reevaluated 
the rate applied as total AFA to the PRC-wide entity and found that it 
continues to be reliable and have probative value.\10\ The CIT 
sustained the Department's Remand Redetermination on May 20, 2014, 
making the effective date of this notice May 30, 2014.\11\

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond 
Sawblades, the CAFC held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department must publish a notice 
of a court decision that is not ``in harmony'' with a Department 
determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a 
``conclusive'' court decision. The CIT's May 20, 2014, judgment 
sustaining the Department's Remand Redetermination with respect to 
Hilltop constitutes a final decision of that court that is not in 
harmony with the Department's Final Results. This notice is published 
in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, 
the Department will continue the suspension of liquidation of the 
subject merchandise pending the expiration of the period of appeal, or 
if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision. The cash 
deposit rate will remain the rate established for the most recent 
period during which the PRC-wide entity was reviewed.\12\

Amended Final Results

    Because there is now a final court decision, we are amending the

margin is as follows:

PRC-Wide Entity \13\.......................................      112.81

    In the event the CIT's ruling is not appealed, the Department will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping 
duties on entries during the POR of the subject merchandise exported by 
Hilltop using the revised assessment rate calculated by the Department 
in the Remand Redetermination.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
516A(e)(1), 751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
