Title: Manufacturers’ Shipments,
Inventories, and Orders Survey (M3).
OMB Control Number: 0607–0008.
Form Number(s): M–3(SD).
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 4,800.
Average Hours per Response: 20
minutes.
Burden Hours: 19,200.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau is requesting an extension of the
currently approved collection for the
Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories,
and Orders (M3) survey. This survey
collects monthly data from domestic
manufacturers on Form M–3 (SD),
which is mailed at the end of each
month. Data requested are shipments,
new orders, unfilled orders, and
inventories by stage of fabrication. It is
currently the only survey that provides
broad-based monthly statistical data on
the economic conditions in the
domestic manufacturing sector. The
survey is designed to measure current
industrial activity and to provide an
indication of future production
commitments. The value of shipments
measures the value of goods delivered
during the month by domestic
manufacturers. Estimates of new orders
serve as an indicator of future
production commitments and represent
the current sales value of new orders
received during the month, net of
cancellations. Substantial accumulation
or depletion of backlogs of unfilled
orders measures excess (or deficient)
demand for manufactured products. The
level of inventories, especially in
relation to shipments, is frequently used
to monitor the business cycle.
This survey provides an essential
component of the current economic
indicators needed for assessing the
evolving status of the economy and
formulating economic policy. The Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA), Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has designated this
survey as a principal federal economic
indicator. The shipments and inventory
data are essential inputs to the gross
domestic product (GDP), while the
orders data are direct inputs to the
leading economic indicator series. The
GDP and the economic indicator series
would be incomplete without these
data. The survey also provides valuable
and timely domestic manufacturing data
for economic planning and analysis to
business firms, trade associations,
research and consulting agencies, and
academia.
The data are used for analyzing shortand long-term trends, both in the
manufacturing sector and as related to
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
15565
other sectors of the economy. The data
on value of shipments, especially when
adjusted for change in inventory,
measure current levels of production.
New orders figures serve as an indicator
of future production commitments.
Changes in the level of unfilled orders,
because of excess or shortfall of new
orders compared with shipments, are
used to measure the excess (or
deficiency) in the demand for
manufactured products. Changes in the
level of inventories and the relation of
these to shipments are used to project
future movements in manufacturing
activity. These statistics are valuable for
analysts of business cycle conditions
including members of the Council of
Economic Advisers (CEA), the Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA), the Federal
Reserve Board (FRB), the Department of
the Treasury, business firms, trade
associations, private research and
consulting agencies, and the academic
community.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Frequency: Monthly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

staple fiber (PSF) from Taiwan. The
period of review (POR) is May 1, 2013,
through April 30, 2014. The review
covers two producers/exporters of the
subject merchandise, Far Eastern New
Century Corporation (FENC) and Nan
Ya Plastics Corporation (Nan Ya). We
preliminarily find that FENC has not
sold subject merchandise at less than
normal value and that Nan Ya had no
shipments during the POR. Interested
parties are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.
DATES: Effective March 24, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
December 22, 2014, we transmitted a
‘‘No-Shipment Inquiry’’ to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) with
respect to Nan Ya.5 Pursuant to this
inquiry, we received no notification
from CBP of entries of subject
merchandise from Nan Ya. Accordingly,
based on record evidence, we
preliminarily determine that Nan Ya
had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. Further,
consistent with our practice, we find
that it is not appropriate to rescind the
review with respect to Nan Ya, but
rather to complete the review and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based
on the final results of this review.6
Methodology
We published in the Federal Register
a notice of initiation of this
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on PSF from
Taiwan covering two companies, FENC
and Nan Ya.3 We received a timely
submission from Nan Ya reporting that
it did not sell or export subject
merchandise during the POR.4 On
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). With respect to
FENC, export price is calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Normal value is calculated in
accordance with section 773 of the Act.

methodology underlying our
conclusions, see Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public

the final results of this review, we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for each importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1). If FENC’s weightedaverage dumping margin continues to be
zero or de minimis in the final results
of review, we will instruct CBP not to
assess duties on any of its entries in
accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here the weightedaverage margin of dumping for the
exporter is determined to be zero or de
minimis, no antidumping duties will be
assessed.’’ 11
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003.12 This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by FENC for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
Consistent with the Assessment Policy
Notice, if we continue to find that Nan
Ya had no shipments of subject
merchandise, following issuance of the
final results of review, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by Nan Ya for which this
company did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate un-reviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above including Nan Ya, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which that manufacturer
or exporter participated; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the manufacturer of the
merchandise for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other
manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 7.31 percent.13 These
cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Recommendation
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
We published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of this
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PSF from Taiwan
covering two companies, FENC and Nan Ya.\3\ We received a timely
submission from Nan Ya reporting that it did not sell or export subject
merchandise during the POR.\4\ On December 22, 2014, we transmitted a
``No-Shipment Inquiry'' to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
with respect to Nan Ya.\5\ Pursuant to this inquiry, we received no
notification from CBP of entries of subject merchandise from Nan Ya.
Accordingly, based on record evidence, we preliminarily determine that
Nan Ya had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Further,
consistent with our practice, we find that it is not appropriate to
rescind the review with respect to Nan Ya, but rather to complete the
review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final
results of this review.\6\

The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the
issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the
date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department shall determine
and CBP shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review. If FENC's weighted-average dumping margin is
above de minimis in
[[Page 15567]]
the final results of this review, we will calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). If FENC's weighted-average dumping margin continues to
be zero or de minimis in the final results of review, we will instruct
CBP not to assess duties on any of its entries in accordance with the
Final Modification for Reviews, i.e., ``{w{time} here the weighted-
average margin of dumping for the exporter is determined to be zero or
de minimis, no antidumping duties will be assessed.'' \11\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003.\12\ This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by FENC for which it did not know
its merchandise was destined for the United States. In such instances,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment Policy
Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with the Assessment Policy Notice, if we continue to
find that Nan Ya had no shipments of subject merchandise, following
issuance of the final results of review, for entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Nan Ya for which this company
did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United States,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of PSF from Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for FENC
will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this administrative review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not listed above including Nan Ya,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in
which that manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the manufacturer of the merchandise for the
most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to
be 7.31 percent.\13\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ The all-others rate established in the Order.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Dated: March 17, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
