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: Service Annual Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0422.
Form Number(s): SA–22010A—SA–
81300E (180 forms total).
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 91,401.
Average Hours per Response: 1 hour
and 32 minutes.
Burden Hours: 139,889.
Needs and Uses: Over 50 percent of
all economic activity is generated by
businesses in the services sectors,
defined to exclude retail and wholesale
trade. The U.S. Census Bureau currently
measures the total output of most of the
service industries annually in the
Service Annual Survey (SAS). This
survey currently covers all or portions
of: Utilities; Transportation and
Warehousing; Information; Finance and
Insurance; Real Estate and Rental and
Leasing; Professional, Scientific, and
Technical Services; Administrative and
Support and Waste Management and
Remediation Services; Educational
Services; Health Care and Social
Assistance; Arts, Entertainment, and
Recreation; Accommodation and Food
Services; and Other Services (except
Public Administration) as defined by
the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). The SAS
provides the only official source of
annual revenue estimates for the service
industries.
Estimates from the SAS are essential
to measurement of economic growth,
real output, prices, and productivity for
our nation’s economy. A broad
spectrum of government and private
stakeholders use these estimates in
analyzing economic activity; forecasting
economic growth; and compiling data
on productivity, prices and the gross
domestic product (GDP). In addition,
trade and professional organizations use
these estimates to analyze industry

Jkt 244001
trends, benchmark their own statistical
products and develop forecasts. Private
businesses use these estimates to
measure market share, analyze business
potential, and plan investments.
Collected data include operating
revenue for both taxable and tax-exempt
firms and organizations, sources of
revenue and expenses by type for
selected industries, operating expenses,
and selected industry-specific items. In
addition, e-commerce data is collected
for all industries, and export and
inventory data is collected for selected
industries. The availability of these data
greatly improves the quality of the
intermediate inputs and value-added
estimates in the annual input-output
and GDP by industry accounts produced
by the Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BEA).
Beginning in survey year 2018, the
operating expenses portion of the
questionnaire will be condensed
substantially in non-Economic Census
reference years. This change will relieve
respondent burden with the goal of
improving the rate and quality of survey
response.
The Census Bureau will also begin
measuring telemedicine. The use of
telemedicine by mental health
professionals is increasing as the
nation’s behavioral health is a huge
concern, especially with the current
opioid crisis. With increased insurance
coverage for the cost of these services,
it is likely that more healthcare
professionals will begin delivering
services via telemedicine. This question
will provide the first federal data on the
new business model of telemedicine for
outpatient medical providers. It will be
an expansion of the current patient
visits question, and will appear on
forms SA–62000A/E, SA–62150A/E,
and SA–62190A/E (total of 6 forms).
The question will be subject to cognitive
testing, modified based on results if
necessary, and implemented when it
has cleared testing. Cognitive testing
will be conducted under the Census
Bureau’s generic clearance for
questionnaire pretesting research.
In addition, a new form will be
created (SA–52413 A/E) for reinsurance
carriers featuring a new variation of the
existing ‘‘Direct Losses Incurred’’
question (Item 13). This change will
increase clarity for respondents and
reduce reporting error.
Minor changes will also be made to
various forms to increase clarity of what
is being asked of respondents (e.g.,
improving instructions or removing
parts of a question), improve the quality
of data the Census Bureau receives, and
further reduce respondent burden.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
On June 11, 2018, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) initiated a
countervailing duty (CVD) investigation
of imports of steel propane cylinders
from the People’s Republic of China
(China).1 Currently, the preliminary
determination is due no later than
August 15, 2018.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determinations
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary

determination in a countervailing duty
investigation within 65 days after the
date on which Commerce initiated the
investigation. However, section
703(c)(1) of the Act permits Commerce
to postpone the preliminary
determination until no later than 130
days after the date on which Commerce
initiated the investigation if: (A) The
petitioner 2 makes a timely request for a
postponement; or (B) Commerce
concludes that the parties concerned are
cooperating, that the investigation is
extraordinarily complicated, and that
additional time is necessary to make a
preliminary determination. Under 19
CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must
submit a request for postponement 25
days or more before the scheduled date
of the preliminary determination and
must state the reasons for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request.
On July 20, 2018, the petitioners
submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone the preliminary
CVD determination.3 The petitioners
stated that the purpose of their request
is to provide Commerce with adequate
time to analyze fully questionnaire
responses from the Government of
China and the mandatory respondents
and to determine the extent to which
the respondents received
countervailable subsidies.4 In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the
petitioners have stated the reasons for
requesting a postponement of the
preliminary determination, and
Commerce finds no compelling reason
to deny the request. Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, Commerce is postponing the
deadline for the preliminary
determination to no later than 130 days
after the date on which this
investigation was initiated, i.e., October
19, 2018. Pursuant to section 705(a)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the
deadline for the final determination of
this investigation will continue to be 75
days after the date of the preliminary
determination.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
2 The petitioners are Worthington Industries and
Manchester Tank & Equipment Co.
