I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request
clearance for the collection of data
concerning the Housing Vacancy Survey
(HVS). The current clearance expires
August 31, 2017.
Collection of the HVS in conjunction
with the Current Population Survey
began in 1956, and serves a broad array
of data users. We conduct the HVS
interviews with landlords or other
knowledgeable people concerning
vacant housing units identified in the
monthly CPS sample and meeting
certain criteria. The HVS provides the
only quarterly statistics on rental
vacancy rates and homeownership rates
for the United States, the four census
regions, the 50 states and the District of
Columbia, and the 75 largest
metropolitan areas (MAs). Private and
public sector organizations use these
rates extensively to gauge and analyze
the housing market with regard to
supply, cost, and affordability at various
points in time.
In addition, the rental vacancy rate is
a component of the index of leading
economic indicators published by the
Department of Commerce.
Policy analysts, program managers,
budget analysts, and congressional staff
use these data to advise the executive
and legislative branches of government
with respect to the number and
characteristics of units available for
occupancy and the suitability of
housing initiatives. Several other
government agencies use these data on
a continuing basis in calculating
consumer expenditures for housing as a
component of the gross national
product; to project mortgage demands;
and to measure the adequacy of the
supply of rental and homeowner units.
In addition, investment firms use the
HVS data to analyze market trends and
for economic forecasting.
II. Method of Collection
Field representatives collect this HVS
information by personal-visit interviews
in conjunction with the regular monthly
CPS interviewing. We collect HVS data
concerning units that are vacant and
intended for year-round occupancy as
determined during the CPS interview.
Approximately 9,000 units in the CPS
sample meet these criteria each month.
All interviews are conducted using
computer-assisted interviewing.

Assessment Rates
All issues raised in the case brief and
rebuttal briefs are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum,
which is attached to this notice as an
Appendix.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, we made changes to SRF’s and
Jindal’s margin calculations.3 The
margins for both SRF and Jindal are now
zero. In addition, we adjusted Jindal’s
reported U.S. prices to account for
changes in its export subsidies in the
final results of the companion
countervailing duty administrative
review.4 Additionally, for companies
not selected for individual review, we
have assigned a zero rate in the final
results of this review, in accordance
with section 735(c)(5) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act).
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed to parties in this proceeding
within five days after the public
announcement of the final results, in
accordance with section 735(a) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the
Department determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise, in accordance with the
final results of this review. The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
review. Because we have calculated zero
margins in the final results of this
review for both mandatory respondents
during this POR, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212 we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
will instruct CBP to liquidate without
regard to antidumping duties any
entries produced and/or exported by
Garware, Jindal, SRF, or Vacmet during
the POR.

Notification to Importers
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 doubled antidumping
duties.
Notifications to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
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 sanctionable violation.
The Department is issuing and
publishing these final results of
administrative review in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221.
