State Certification
Through the BAS State Certification
program, the Census Bureau invites the
governor-appointed State Certifying
Official (SCO) from each state to review
the boundary and governmental unit
information collected during the
previous BAS cycle. The purpose of the
State Certification program is to verify
the accuracy, validity, and completeness
of the BAS information with state
governments. Every year, excluding
2020, the Census Bureau mails materials
containing the listings of the
information collected from the previous
BAS year to the SCO for review. These
listings include the attribute
information for disincorporations and
legal boundary changes as well as the
names and functional statuses of
incorporated places and minor civil
divisions (MCDs). The SCO may request
that the Census Bureau edit the attribute
data, add missing records, or remove
invalid records if their state government
maintains an official record of all
effective changes to legal boundaries
and governmental units as mandated by
state law. State certification packages
contain a letter to the governor, a state
certifying official letter, a discrepancy
letter, and a state certification
respondent guide.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Survey of Residential Building
or Zoning Permit Systems.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0350.
Form Number(s): C–411(V), C–
411(M), C–411(C).
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Average Hours per Response: 15
minutes.
Burden Hours: 500.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau is requesting an extension of a
currently approved collection for Form
C–411, ‘‘Survey of Residential Building
or Zoning Permit Systems.
The Census Bureau produces statistics
used to monitor activity in the large and
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 accuracy of the Census
Bureau statistics regarding the amount
of construction authorized depends on
data supplied by building and zoning
officials throughout the country. The
Census Bureau uses Form C–411 to
obtain information from state and local
building permit officials needed for
updating the universe of permit-issuing

places which serves as the sampling
frame for the Report of Privately-Owned
Residential Building or Zoning Permits
Issued (OMB number 0607–0094), also
known as the Building Permits Survey
(BPS), and the Survey of Housing Starts,
Sales, and Completions (OMB number
0607–0110), also known as Survey of
Construction (SOC). These two sample
surveys provide widely used measures
of construction activity, including the
principal economic indicators New
Residential Construction and New
Home Sales. Data from the BPS and SOC
are also used by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) in the calculation of
estimates of the Residential Fixed
Investment portion of the Nation’s Gross
Domestic Product (GDP). In addition,
data from the BPS are used by the
Census Bureau in the calculation of
annual population estimates; these
estimates are widely used by
government agencies to allocate funding
and other resources to local
governments.
The questions on Form C–411 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. We do not plan any changes
to the information we collect on the C–
411 forms.
The appropriate form 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. This is based
on information from a variety of sources
including survey respondents, regional
councils and the Census Bureau’s
Geography Division which keeps abreast
of changes in corporate status.
We use the information to verify the
existence of new permit systems or
changes to existing systems. Based on
the information, the Census Bureau
adds new permit-issuing places to the
universe, delete places no longer issuing
permits, and makes changes to the
universe to reflect those places that have
merged.
Failure to maintain the universe of
permit-issuing places would result in
deficient samples and inaccurate
statistics. This in turn jeopardizes the
accuracy of the above mentioned
economic indicators. These indicators
are closely monitored by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and other economic policy
makers because of the sensitivity of the
housing industry to changes in interest
rates.
Affected Public: State, local or tribal
government.
Frequency: On occasion.

expand FTZ 84 under the ASF to
include a new magnet site located in
Hitchcock, Texas, adjacent to the
Houston Customs and Border Protection
port of entry;
Whereas, notice inviting public
comment was given in the Federal

SUMMARY: As a result of determinations
by the Department of Commerce
(Commerce) and the International Trade
Commission (ITC) that revocation of the
countervailing duty (CVD) order on
certain lined paper products (lined
paper) from India and the antidumping
duty (AD) orders on lined paper from
India and the People’s Republic of
China (China) would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and countervailable subsidies and
material injury to an industry in the
United States, Commerce is publishing
a notice of the continuation of the AD
orders and the CVD order.
DATES: Applicable March 6, 2018.
