Friday, July 19, 2019
This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER
contains documents other than rules or
proposed rules that are applicable to the
public. Notices of hearings and investigations,
committee meetings, agency decisions and
rulings, delegations of authority, filing of
petitions and applications and agency
statements of organization and functions are
examples of documents appearing in this
section.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Census of Horticultural
Specialties.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0236.
Summary of Collection: The census of
horticultural specialties is one of a
series of census special studies for the
census of agriculture which provides
more detailed statistics relating to a
specific subject. The census of
horticultural specialties is an integral
part of the 2017 Census of Agriculture
and is conducted under the authority of
the Census of Agriculture Act of 1997
(Pub. L. 105–113). The law requires that
the Secretary of Agriculture conduct a
census of agriculture in 1998 and every
fifth year following 1998. The Census of
Horticultural Specialties has been
conducted periodically since 1898 to
show how the industry has changed
over time. Since 1950 it has been
conducted approximately every 10
years. Growing data needs to make
policy decisions concerning the
horticulture industry have prompted a
request from the Secretary of
Agriculture and Congress to conduct
this survey every 5 years beginning with
the 2014 survey as a follow-on to the
Census of Agriculture. It is the only
source of detailed and consistent data
on horticultural crop production and
sales by type of plant at both State and
national levels. The horticultural
specialties census includes operations
growing and selling $10,000 or more of
horticultural specialty crops. The
sampling of small operations with sales
between $1,000 and $10,000 is used as
an indicator of how many small
operations have increased their sales
since the 2017 Census of Agriculture
was conducted.
Need and Use of the Information: The
primary objective of the horticultural
specialties census is to obtain a
comprehensive and detailed picture of
the horticultural sector of the economy.
It is the only source of detailed
production and sales data at the

The Department of Agriculture will
submit the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13 on or after the date
of publication of this notice. Comments
are requested regarding: Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of burden including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology should be
addressed to: Desk Officer for
Agriculture, Office of Information and

national level. The continuation of this
census will allow for bench marking of
changes to the industry. The census of
horticultural specialties will include
statistics on number and value of plants
grown and sold, the value of land,
buildings, machinery and equipment,
selected production expenses,
marketing channels, hired labor, area
used for production, and type of
structure. Without the census of
horticultural specialties, government
policy makers and planners would lack
valuable information needed to
accomplish their missions. Instead, they
would have to rely on assumptions and
guess work to determine policy.
This is a reinstatement with change,
of the Census of Horticultural
Specialties survey to be conducted as a
follow-on survey to the 2012 Census of
Agriculture.

and breastfeeding support, and referrals
to health care and other social services
to safeguard the health of low-income
women, infants, and children up to 5
years of age who are at nutritional risk.
As part of the certification and
recertification process, WIC staff
perform a comprehensive nutrition risk
assessment with each participant to
screen for certain nutrition risks and
collect other relevant dietary and health
information. Based on the nutrition risk
assessment, WIC staff can individualize
the food package benefits, nutrition
education, and referrals the participant
and child receive to meet their unique
nutritional needs. While guidelines for
conducting a quality nutrition risk
assessment are described in the Value
Enhanced Nutrition Assessment (VENA)
guidance,1 there is flexibility in how
WIC staff conduct the nutrition risk
assessment, and specifics of the process
may vary by WIC State Agency (SA) and
by WIC Local Agency (LA). Through
this study, FNS seeks to better
understand the nutrition services
process as it transpires at WIC clinics,
and WIC staff and participants’
satisfaction with the process. The
findings from this study will be used to
develop guidance for WIC staff to
enhance service delivery to improve
program satisfaction, retention, and
participant health and nutrition
outcomes.
The four study objectives are: (1)
Provide in-depth descriptive
information on how a large, diverse
sample of local WIC agencies performs
the WIC nutrition risk assessment; (2)
Systematically describe how a national
sample of diverse local WIC agencies
uses the collection of nutrition risk
assessment information to tailor
program benefits, including food
packages, nutrition education,
breastfeeding promotion and support,
and referrals to health and social
services; (3) Investigate relationships
between WIC nutrition risk services
processes (to include the nutrition risk
assessment and the associated tailoring
of program benefits), and the clinic
experience, participant and staff
perceptions, and overall clinic flow and
efficiency; and (4) Identify specific
practices or features of nutrition risk
service processes that facilitate the use
of nutrition assessment information for
providing tailored program benefits, and
that are associated with participant and
staff satisfaction.

A tiered study design that yields a
diverse, national sample of SAs, LAs,
WIC clinic sites, and WIC participants
will be used to address the four study
objectives. SAs will be selected using
FNS administrative data, including data
from the WIC Participant and Program
Characteristics Study (OMB# 0584–
0609, expiration 8/31/2019). All LAs
within the selected SAs will be asked to
provide additional data about their LA
via a web survey. WIC Clinics will be
selected for site visits based on
characteristics of the LA.2 WIC
participants will be selected during site
visits. Quantitative and qualitative data
will be collected from SAs, LAs, WIC
Clinics and WIC participants.
Affected Public: Respondent groups
identified include: (1) State, local, and
tribal governments (WIC State agencies,
local agencies, and clinics); (2)
Businesses/Non-Profits; (WIC local
agencies and clinic sites); and (3)
Individuals (adults who participate in
WIC or who have children that
participate in WIC).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
The total estimated number of
respondents is 1,454 (885 respondents
and 569 non-respondents). The total
includes 13 State agencies, 378 local
agencies (262 government and 116
business), 39 clinics (22 government
and 17 business), and 1,024 individuals.
Estimated Frequency of Response:
The estimated frequency of response is
6.17 annually for respondents and 3.54
annually for non-respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
The estimated total number of annual
responses is 7,473. This includes 5,458
for respondents and 2,015 for nonrespondents.
Estimated Time per Response: The
estimated average response time is 0.12
hours for all respondents (0.15 hours for
responsive participants and 0.02 hours
for nonresponsive participants). The
estimated time of response varies from
one minute (0.02 hours) to
approximately four hours (3.68 hours)
depending on the respondent group and
activity, as shown in table 1. The
average estimated time per response
across all respondents is 0.12 hours
(equal to 869.33 (total annual burden
hours for both respondents and nonrespondents) divided by 7,473 (total
responses for both respondents and nonrespondents), as shown in table 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: The total public reporting
burden for this collection of information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES
Background
On February 8, 2019, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel butt-weld pipe fittings from
Malaysia for the period February 1,
2018, through January 31, 2019.1 On
February 28, 2019, Core Pipe Products,
Inc., Shaw Alloy Piping Products, LLC,
and Taylor Forge Stainless Inc. (the
petitioners), domestic producers of
stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings,
and Pantech Stainless & Alloy
Industries Sdn. Bhd. (Pantech), an
exporter of stainless steel butt-weld pipe
fittings, filed a timely request for
review, in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.213(b).2 Pursuant to these requests
1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 84 FR 2816
(February 8, 2019).
2 See Letter from the petitioners, ‘‘Stainless Steel
Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Malaysia: Petitioners’
Request for 2018/2019 Administrative Review,’’
dated February 28, 2019; see also See Letter from
Pantech, ‘‘Pantech Request for Administrative
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on
Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from
Malaysia,’’ dated February 28, 2019.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:36 Jul 18, 2019
Jkt 247001
and in accordance with section 751(a) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we
initiated an administrative review of
three companies.3 On May 6, 2019, the
petitioners filed a timely withdrawal of
request for the administrative review
with respect to Pantech.4 On May 9,
2019, Pantech also filed a timely
withdrawal of its request for the
administrative review.5 On June 14,
2019, the petitioners filed a timely
withdrawal of request for the
administrative review with respect to
the remaining companies subject to the
administrative review.6
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if the party
that requested the review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. As noted above,
the petitioners and Pantech, the only
parties to file a request for review,
withdrew their requests by the 90-day
deadline. Accordingly, we are
rescinding antidumping duty review on
stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings
from Malaysia for the period February 1,
2018, through January 31, 2019, in its
entirety.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of stainless steel butt-weld pipe
fittings from Malaysia. Antidumping
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to
the cash deposit of estimated
antidumping duties required at the time
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse,
for consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends
to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers of their responsibility under
3 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 84 FR
18777 (May 2, 2019).
4 See Letter from the petitioners, ‘‘Stainless Steel
Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Malaysia: Partial
Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,’’
dated May 6, 2019.
5 Letter from Pantech, ‘‘Withdrawal of
Administrative Review & Request for Rescission of
Administrative Review: Administrative Review of
the Antidumping Duty Order on Stainless Steel
Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Malaysia,’’ dated May
9, 2019.
6 See Letter from the petitioners, ‘‘Stainless Steel

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
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to all parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written
notification of the return/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 violation
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).
Dated: July 15, 2019.

Title: WIC Nutrition Assessment and Tailoring Study.
Form Number: Not applicable.
OMB Number: Not Yet Assigned.
Expiration Date: Not Yet Determined.
Type of Request: New collection.
Abstract: The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
Infants, and Children (WIC) provides supplemental foods, nutrition
education and breastfeeding support, and referrals to health care and
other social services to safeguard the health of low-income women,
infants, and children up to 5 years of age who are at nutritional risk.
As part of the certification and recertification process, WIC staff
perform a comprehensive nutrition risk assessment with each participant
to screen for certain nutrition risks and collect other relevant
dietary and health information. Based on the nutrition risk assessment,
WIC staff can individualize the food package benefits, nutrition
education, and referrals the participant and child receive to meet
their unique nutritional needs. While guidelines for conducting a
quality nutrition risk assessment are described in the Value Enhanced
Nutrition Assessment (VENA) guidance,\1\ there is flexibility in how
WIC staff conduct the nutrition risk assessment, and specifics of the
process may vary by WIC State Agency (SA) and by WIC Local Agency (LA).
Through this study, FNS seeks to better understand the nutrition
services process as it transpires at WIC clinics, and WIC staff and
participants' satisfaction with the process. The findings from this
study will be used to develop guidance for WIC staff to enhance service
delivery to improve program satisfaction, retention, and participant
health and nutrition outcomes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The four study objectives are: (1) Provide in-depth descriptive
information on how a large, diverse sample of local WIC agencies
performs the WIC nutrition risk assessment; (2) Systematically describe
how a national sample of diverse local WIC agencies uses the collection
of nutrition risk assessment information to tailor program benefits,
including food packages, nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion
and support, and referrals to health and social services; (3)
Investigate relationships between WIC nutrition risk services processes
(to include the nutrition risk assessment and the associated tailoring
of program benefits), and the clinic experience, participant and staff
perceptions, and overall clinic flow and efficiency; and (4) Identify
specific practices or features of nutrition risk service processes that
facilitate the use of nutrition assessment information for providing
tailored program benefits, and that are associated with participant and
staff satisfaction.
A tiered study design that yields a diverse, national sample of
SAs, LAs, WIC clinic sites, and WIC participants will be used to
address the four study objectives. SAs will be selected using FNS
administrative data, including data from the WIC Participant and
Program Characteristics Study (OMB# 0584-0609, expiration 8/31/2019).
All LAs within the selected SAs will be asked to provide additional
data about their LA via a web survey. WIC Clinics will be selected for
site visits based on characteristics of the LA.\2\ WIC participants
will be selected during site visits. Quantitative and qualitative data
will be collected from SAs, LAs, WIC Clinics and WIC participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ A subset of LAs will be selected within each SA based on
sociodemographic and nutrition education characteristics; one WIC
Clinic will be selected per LA in the subset.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Affected Public: Respondent groups identified include: (1) State,
local, and tribal governments (WIC State agencies, local agencies, and
clinics); (2) Businesses/Non-Profits; (WIC local agencies and clinic
sites); and (3) Individuals (adults who participate in WIC or who have
children that participate in WIC).
Estimated Number of Respondents: The total estimated number of
respondents is 1,454 (885 respondents and 569 non-respondents). The
total includes 13 State agencies, 378 local agencies (262 government
and 116 business), 39 clinics (22 government and 17 business), and
1,024 individuals.
Estimated Frequency of Response: The estimated frequency of
response is 6.17 annually for respondents and 3.54 annually for non-
respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: The estimated total number of
annual responses is 7,473. This includes 5,458 for respondents and
2,015 for non-respondents.
Estimated Time per Response: The estimated average response time is
0.12 hours for all respondents (0.15 hours for responsive participants
and 0.02 hours for nonresponsive participants). The estimated time of
response varies from one minute (0.02 hours) to approximately four
hours (3.68 hours) depending on the respondent group and activity, as
shown in table 1. The average estimated time per response across all
respondents is 0.12 hours (equal to 869.33 (total annual burden hours
for both respondents and non-respondents) divided by 7,473 (total
responses for both respondents and non-respondents), as shown in table
1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: The total public
reporting burden for this collection of information
[[Page 34851]]
is estimated at 869.33 hours (annually). See Table 1 (Total Public
Burden Hours) for estimated total annual burden for each type of
respondent.
