SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request a
three-year extension of a currently
approved collection of the Form C–411,
Survey of Residential Building or
Zoning Permit Systems. The Census
Bureau produces statistics used to
monitor activity in the large and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
dynamic construction industry. These
statistics help state and local
governments and the Federal
government, as well as private industry,
to analyze this important sector of the
economy.
The Census Bureau uses the Form C–
411 to obtain information needed to
update the universe of permit-issuing
places from state and local building and
zoning officials. Questions on the form
pertain to the legal requirements for
issuing building or zoning permits in
the local jurisdictions. Information is
obtained on such items as geographic
coverage and types of construction for
which permits are issued.
The universe of permit-issuing places
is the sampling frame for the Building
Permits Survey (BPS) and the Survey of
Construction (SOC). These two sample
surveys provide widely used measures
of construction activity, including the
monthly Principal Federal Economic
Indicators Housing Units Authorized by
Building Permits and Housing Starts.
II. Method of Collection
One of three variants of the Form C–
411 is sent to a jurisdiction when the
Census Bureau has reason to believe
that a new permit system has been
established or an existing one has
changed, based on information the
Census Bureau obtains from a variety of
sources including survey respondents
and regional planning councils. Staff in
the Census Bureau’s Geography Division
also monitor changes in corporate
status, which indicates if a place is
incorporated. Responses rates for the
Form C–411 typically approach 85
percent. There are three versions of the
form:
• C–411(V) for verification of
coverage for jurisdictions with existing
permit systems
• C–411(M) for municipalities where
a new permit system may have been
established
• C–411(C) for counties where new
permit systems may have been
established.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0607–0350.
Form Number: C–411(V), C–411(M),
and C–411(C).
Type of Review: Regular submission.

Governments.

collection.)
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

States Code, Sections 131 and 182.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
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

approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

Department preliminarily determines
that Motech made sales of subject
merchandise at less than normal value
during the POR. Additionally, we are
rescinding this administrative review

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 8, 2017, the Department
notified interested parties of the
opportunity to request an administrative
review of orders, findings, or suspended
investigations with anniversaries in
February 2017, including the
antidumping duty order on solar
products from Taiwan.1 On February 28,
2017, SolarWorld Americas Inc. (the
petitioner), as well as various exporters
and exporters, requested that the
Department conduct an administrative
review of certain exporters covering the
POR. On April 10, 2017, the Department
published a notice initiating an AD
administrative review of solar products
from Taiwan covering 34 companies for
the POR.2
In the Initiation Notice, the
Department stated that if it limited the
number of respondents for individual
examination, it intended to select
respondents based on volume data
contained in responses to its quantity
and value (Q&V) questionnaire.3 On
April 10, 2017, the Department issued
Q&V questionnaires to all 11 companies
that appeared in the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) data for import
and merchandise value.4 We received
Q&V questionnaire responses from 11
companies 5 named in the Initiation
1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
To Request Administrative Review, 82 FR 9709
(February 8, 2017).
2 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 82 FR
17188, 17189 (April 10, 2017) (Initiation Notice).
3 Id. at 17189.
4 The Department explained in the Initiation
Notice that the units used to measure the imported
quantities of solar cells and solar modules in the
CBP data are in ‘‘piece’’ units, and it would not be
meaningful to sum the number of imported solar
cells and the number of imported solar modules in
attempting to determine the largest Taiwan
exporters of subject merchandise by volume. Id.
Therefore, the Department stated that it would limit
the number of Q&V questionnaires issued based on
the import values in CBP data. Id.
5 The 11 companies that submitted a Q&V
questionnaire response include: AU Optronics
