Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. Title: Survey of Housing Starts, Sales, and Completions. Form Number(s): SOC–QI/SF.1, SOC– QI/MF.1. OMB Control Number: 0607–0110. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Burden Hours: 13,187. Number of Respondents: 20,400. PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 7575 Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes. Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau is requesting an extension of the Survey of Housing Starts, Sales, and Completions, otherwise known as the Survey of Construction (SOC). Government agencies and private companies use statistics from SOC to monitor and evaluate the large and dynamic housing construction industry. Data for two principal economic indicators are produced from the SOC: New Residential Construction (housing starts and housing completions) and New Residential Sales. In addition, a number of other statistical series are produced, including extensive information on the physical characteristics of new residential buildings, and indexes measuring rates of inflation in the price of new buildings. These statistics are based on a sample of residential buildings in permit-issuing places and a road canvass in a sample of land areas not covered by building permit systems. The field representatives (FRs) mail forms SOC–QI/SF.1 and SOC–QI/MF.1 to new respondents to complete. A few days later, the FRs either call or visit the respondents to enter their survey responses into a laptop computer using the Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) software formatted for the SOC–QI/SF.1 and SOC–QI/MF.1 forms. The respondents are home builders, real estate agents, rental agents, or new homeowners of sampled residential buildings. FRs contact respondents multiple times based on the number of projects in the sample and the number of months required to complete the project. The Census Bureau uses the information collected in the SOC to publish estimates of the number of new residential housing units started, under construction, completed, and the number of new houses sold and for sale. The Census Bureau also publishes many financial and physical characteristics of new housing units. Government agencies use these statistics to evaluate economic policy, measure progress towards the national housing goal, make policy decisions, and formulate legislation. For example, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System uses data from this survey to evaluate the effect of interest rates in this interest-rate sensitive area of the economy. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) uses the data in developing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The private sector uses the information for estimating the demand for building materials and the many products used in new housing and to E:\FR\FM\11FEN1.SGM 11FEN1 7576 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 28 / Wednesday, February 11, 2015 / Notices schedule production, distribution, and sales efforts.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) is conducting the ninth administrative review (‘‘AR’’) and a new shipper review (‘‘NSR’’) of the antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture (‘‘WBF’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). The AR covers 28 exporters of subject merchandise, of which the Department selected one company for individual examination. The NSR covers one exporter and producer of subject merchandise. The period of review (‘‘POR’’) for the AR and NSR is January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013. The Department preliminarily determines that the mandatory respondent in the NSR has not made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value. Additionally, the Department preliminarily determines that it will treat the mandatory respondent in the AR as part of the PRCwide entity. Interested parties are tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:07 Feb 10, 2015 Jkt 235001 invited to comment on these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scope of the Order The product covered by the order is wooden bedroom furniture, subject to certain exceptions.1 Imports of subject merchandise are classified under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings: 9403.50.9042, 9403.50.9045, 9403.50.9080, 9403.50.9042, 9403.50.9045, 9403.60.8081, 7009.92.1000 or 7009.92.5000. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written product description in the Order remains dispositive.2 Methodology The Department is conducting these reviews in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’) and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19 CFR 351.214. The Department calculated export prices in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a nonmarket economy (‘‘NME’’) within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, the Department calculated normal value in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted with this notice. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is provided as Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically 1 See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 329 (January 4, 2005) (‘‘Order’’). 2 For a complete description of the Scope of the Order, please see ‘‘Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative and New Shipper Review: Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People’s Republic of China,’’ from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance (‘‘Preliminary Decision Memorandum’’), dated concurrently with this notice.

Notice of Intent To Rescind AR, in Part In the Initiation Notice for the AR, we stated that ‘‘for exporters and producers who submit a separate rate application or separate rate certification and subsequently are selected as mandatory respondents, these exporters and producers will no longer be eligible for separate-rate status unless they respond to all parts of the questionnaire as mandatory respondents.’’ 4 The Department selected Jiedong Lehouse Furniture Co., Ltd. (‘‘Jiedong Lehouse’’) as a mandatory respondent.5 The Department preliminarily determines that Jiedong Lehouse did not establish its eligibility for a separate rate for the reasons explained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Accordingly, we are preliminarily treating Jiedong Lehouse as part of the PRC-wide entity. In addition, 15 other companies for which a review was requested failed to provide separate rate applications or certifications necessary to establish their eligibility for a separate rate. The Department preliminarily determines to treat these 15 companies as part of the PRC-wide entity.6 For additional 3 On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and Compliance changed the name of Enforcement and Compliance’s AD and CVD Centralized Electronic Service System (‘‘IA ACCESS’’) to AD and CVD Centralized Electronic Service System (‘‘ACCESS’’).
