Governments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Section 161 of Title 13 U.S.C. directs
the Secretary of Commerce to ‘‘take,
compile, and publish for the year 1957
and for every fifth year thereafter a
census of governments. Each such
census shall include, but shall not be
limited to, data on taxes and tax
valuations, governmental receipts,
expenditures, indebtedness, and
employees of States, counties, cities,
and other governmental units.’’ Because
of this, the Census of Governments is
the most comprehensive, comparable,
and precise measure of government
economic activity. It identifies the scope
and nature of the nation’s public sector
and provides authoritative benchmark
figures of public finance, pensions, and
employment. This helps us identify and
classify the complex and diverse state
and local government organizations,
powers, and activities, and measures
federal, state, and local fiscal
relationships.
This notice requests public comments
on the 2017 Census of Governments
content as discussed further in Section
B of this Federal Register notice.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:18 Apr 04, 2016
Jkt 238001
Regular content reviews help keep the
Census of Governments valuable to
policy analysts, researchers, the general
public and other federal agencies.
Two federal statistical agencies, the
Bureau of Economic Analysis and the
Federal Reserve Board, use the Census
of Governments data to measure the
nation’s economic and financial
performance. State and local
governments use the data to develop
programs and budgets, assess financial
conditions, and perform comparative
analyses. In addition, analysts,
economists, market specialists, and
researchers need these data to measure
the changing characteristics of the
government sector of the economy and
to conduct public policy research.
Journalists report on, and teachers and
students learn about, their governments’
activities using our data. Internally, the
Census Bureau uses these data as a
benchmark for all our non-census year
samples.
B. Census of Governments Content
For the 2017 Census of Governments,
finance and employment data are the
same as in comparable annual surveys
and include revenues, expenditures,
debt, assets, number of employees (by
full-time and part-time status), payroll,
and benefits. The Census Bureau posted
copies of the 2012 Census of
Governments forms on its Web site at:
https://www.census.gov/govs/cog/get_
forms.html. Please take a moment to
review the forms relevant to your
interests and provide us with your
comments for us to consider as we
prepare content for the 2017
questionnaires. In particular, Forms F–
11 and F–12 may be of interest, given
recent changes to the accounting
standards concerning actuarial data for
Public Pensions instituted by the
Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB). We are especially
interested in comments on the
usefulness of existing inquiries for
continued inclusion and in suggestions
for new measures that would be
appropriate to include in the Census of
Governments.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) unless that
collection of information displays a
current valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number. The

established procedures, will be

Foreign-Trade Zone 17—Kansas City,
Kansas, Application for
Reorganization, (Expansion of Service
Area) Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Greater Kansas City Foreign Trade
Zone, Inc., grantee of Foreign-Trade
Zone 17, requesting authority to
reorganize the zone to expand its service
area under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ
Board (15 CFR Sec. 400.2(c)). The ASF
is an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of zones
and can permit significantly greater
flexibility in the designation of new
subzones or ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites
for operators/users located within a
grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of
the FTZ 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 FTZ Board (15 CFR
part 400). It was formally docketed on
March 31, 2016.
FTZ 17 was approved by the FTZ
Board on December 20, 1973 (Board
Order 97, 39 FR 26, January 2, 1974) and
reorganized under the ASF on July 8,
2010 (Board Order 1696, 75 FR 41819,
July 19, 2010). The zone currently has
a service area that includes Wyandotte,
Johnson, Douglas, Shawnee,
Leavenworth and Miami Counties,
Kansas.
The applicant is now requesting
authority to expand the service area of
the zone to include Atchison, Jefferson
and Franklin Counties, as described in
the application. If approved, the grantee
would be able to serve sites throughout
the expanded service area based on
companies’ needs for FTZ designation.
The application indicates that the
proposed expanded service area is
adjacent to the Kansas City Customs and
Border Protection Port of Entry.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Rescission of New Shipper Review
On February 3, 2016, the Department
initiated a new shipper review for Anji
DaSol, and on March 21, 2016, Anji
DaSol withdrew its new shipper review
request. Section 351.214(f)(1) of the
Department’s regulations provides that
the Department may rescind a new
shipper review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request for review no later than 60 days
after the date of publication of the
notice of initiation of the requested
review. Given that Anji DaSol timely
withdrew its request for a new shipper
review, the Department is rescinding the
new shipper review of the antidumping
duty order on solar cells from the PRC
with respect to Anji DaSol.
Consequently, Anji DaSol will remain
part of the PRC-wide entity.
Assessment
Because we are rescinding the new
shipper review of Anji DaSol, we are not
making a determination as to whether
Anji DaSol qualifies for a separate rate.
Therefore, Anji DaSol remains part of
the PRC-wide entity and any entries
covered by this new shipper review will
be assessed at the PRC-wide rate. The
PRC-wide entity is not under review in
the ongoing administrative review
covering the 2014–2015 period of
review, and therefore, Anji DaSol is not
under review in the concurrent
administrative review.3 Accordingly,
the Department intends to issue
liquidation instructions for any entries
by Anji DaSol 15 days after publication
of this rescission notice.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
discontinue the option of posting a bond
or security in lieu of a cash deposit for
entries of subject merchandise from Anji
DaSol.4 Because we did not calculate a
dumping margin for Anji DaSol or grant
Anji DaSol a separate rate in this new
shipper review, Anji DaSol continues to
be part of the PRC-wide entity. The cash
deposit rate for the PRC-wide entity is
238.95 percent. These cash deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notifications to Interested Parties
This notice serves as a final 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. This notice also serves as a
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)
of their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Timely written notification of the return
or destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order,
is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a violation which is subject to
sanction.
This rescission and notice are
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.214(f)(3).
