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: Report of Building or Zoning
Permits Issued for New PrivatelyOwned Housing Units.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0094.
Form Number(s): C–404.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 20,325.
Average Hours per Response: Ranges
from 3 to 23 minutes.
Burden Hours: 17,263.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
is requesting a three-year extension of
the Report of Building or Zoning
Permits Issued for New PrivatelyOwned Housing Units, otherwise

known as the Building Permits Survey
(BPS). The Census Bureau conducts this
survey to collect data on new residential
buildings from state and local permitissuing offices. The key estimates from
the survey are the numbers of new
housing units authorized by building
permits; data are also collected on the
valuation of the housing units. The BPS
specifically collects information on
changes to the geographic coverage of
the permit-issuing place, the number
and valuation of new residential
housing units authorized by building
permits, and additional information on
residential permits valued at $1 million
or more, including, but not limited to,
site address and type of building.
The Census Bureau produces statistics
used to monitor activity in the large and
dynamic construction industry. Given
the importance of this industry, several
of the statistical series have been
designated by the Office of Management
and Budget as Principal Economic
Indicators. Two such indicators are
directly dependent on the key estimates
from the BPS. For New Residential
Construction (which includes Housing
Units Authorized by Building Permits,
Housing Starts, and Housing
Completions), form C–404 is used to
collect the estimate for Housing Units
Authorized by Building Permits. For
New Residential Construction and
Sales, the number of housing units
authorized by building permits is a key
component utilized in the estimation of
housing units started, completed, and
sold.
These statistics help state, local, and
federal governments, as well as private
industry, analyze this important sector
of the economy. The building permit
series are available monthly based on a
sample of building permit offices, and
annually based on the entire universe of
permit offices. Published data from the
survey can be found on the Census
Bureau’s website at www.census.gov/
permits.
The Census Bureau collects these data
primarily by mail or online using an
online version of the same
questionnaire. Some data are also
collected via receipt of proprietary
electronic files or mailed printouts for
jurisdictions who have established
reporting arrangements which allow
them to submit their responses using
their own file format.
We use the data, a component of The
Conference Board Leading Economic
Index, to estimate the number of
housing units authorized, started,
completed, and sold (single-family
only). In addition, the Census Bureau
uses the detailed geographic data in the
development of annual population
E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM
28SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 189 / Friday, September 28, 2018 / Notices
estimates; those population estimates
are used by government agencies to
allocate funding and other resources to
local areas, inform policy, and aid in
city planning. Policymakers, planners,
businesses, and others use the detailed
geographic data to monitor growth and
plan for local services, and to develop
production and marketing plans. The
BPS is the only source of statistics on
residential construction for states,
counties, and smaller geographic areas.
Because building permits are public
records, we can release data for
individual jurisdictions, and annual
data are published for every permitissuing jurisdiction.
Affected Public: State, local or Tribal
governments.
Frequency: Monthly and annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Sections 131 and 182.

Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Presidential Proclamations 9705
Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the
United States and 9704 Adjusting
Imports of Aluminum Into the United
States
On March 8, 2018, the President
issued Proclamations 9704 and 9705
concurring with the findings of the two
investigation reports submitted by the
Secretary of Commerce pursuant to
section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act
of 1962 (U.S.C. 1862) and determining
that adjusting imports through the
imposition of duties on steel and
aluminum is necessary so that imports
of steel and aluminum will no longer
threaten to impair the national security.
The Proclamations also authorized the
Secretary of Commerce, in consultation
with the Secretary of Defense, the
Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary
of State, the United States Trade
Representative, the Assistant to the
President for Economic Policy, the
Assistant to the President for National
Security Affairs, and other senior
executive branch officials as
appropriate, to grant exclusions from
the duties for domestic parties affected
by the duties. This could take place if
the Secretary determines the steel or
aluminum for which the exclusion is
requested is not produced in the United
States in a sufficient and reasonably
available amount or of a satisfactory
quality or should be excluded based
upon specific national security
considerations. The President directed
the Secretary to promulgate regulations
as may be necessary to implement an
exclusion process. The purpose of this
information collection is to allow for
submission of objections requests from
the remedies instituted in presidential
proclamations adjusting imports of steel
into the United States and adjusting
imports of aluminum into the United
States.
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
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
