whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
In April 2016, the Department
received multiple timely requests to
conduct an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on drawn
stainless steel sinks from the PRC.
On June 6, 2016, in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the AD order.2 The
administrative review was initiated with
respect to 32 companies, and covers the
period April 1, 2015, through March 31,
2016. Subsequent to the initiation of the
administrative review, the requesting
parties timely withdrew their review
requests for 19 of these companies, as
discussed below.
II. Method of Collection
The Census Bureau uses a letter-only
mail out with an electronic-only data
collection for the ASE. The mail out will
be conducted from the National
Processing Center in Jeffersonville,
Indiana. Two mail follow-ups to
nonrespondents will be conducted at
approximately one-month intervals. The
second follow-up of the 2014 ASE
included a certified mailing for all
nonrespondents. The 2015 ASE
included a certified mailing for only a
selected group of nonrespondents based
on their sampling frame; the other
nonrespondents received a standard
first-class follow-up mailing. The 2016
ASE collection strategy will be similar
to the 2015 ASE. Select nonrespondents
will receive a certified mailing for the
second follow-up if needed.

and that the subsidy is specific.3 In
making this preliminary determination,
the Department relied, in part, on facts
otherwise available, with the
application of adverse inferences.4 For
