to be about 42.2%.7
Non-Response Follow-Up for the ‘‘High
Web’’ Group and ‘‘High Paper’’ Group
II. Method of Collection
The ‘‘High Web’’ group will receive
two web survey invitation letters
requesting its participation in the survey
prior to receiving its first paper screener
questionnaire in the second follow-up
mailing. The ‘‘High Paper’’ group will
receive both a web survey invitation
letter along with a mailed paper
screener questionnaire with the initial
invitation and each follow-up mailing.
Once a household in the ‘‘High Web’’
group receives a paper screener
questionnaire, it will then have the
option to either complete the web-based
survey or complete the mailed paper
screener, similar to the ‘‘High Paper’’
group. If the household chooses to
complete the mailed paper
questionnaire, then it would be
considered part of the mailout/mailback
paper-and-pencil interviewing treatment
group. The paper-and-pencil treatment
group receives a paper topical
questionnaire, if there is at least one 0
to 17 year old eligible child reported on
the screener. Nonresponse follow-up for
the topical questionnaire will include
up to one pressure-sealed postcard and
up to three mailings including the paper
topical questionnaire.
Web Push
The 2020 NSCH plan for the web
push data collection design includes
70% of the estimated 240,000
production addresses receiving an
initial invite with instructions on how
to complete an English or Spanishlanguage screener questionnaire via the
web. Households that decide to
complete the web-based survey will be
taken through the screener
questionnaire to determine if they are
eligible for one of three topical
instruments. Households that list at
least one child who is 0 to 17 years old
in the screener are directed into a
topical questionnaire immediately after
the last screener question. If a
household in the web push treatment
group decides to complete the paper
screener, the household may have a
chance to receive an additional topical
questionnaire incentive.
Mixed-Mode
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
The 2020 NSCH plan for the mixedmode data collection design includes
approximately 30% of the 240,000
production addresses receiving both an
initial invite with a paper screener
questionnaire and instructions on how
to complete an English or Spanish
language screener questionnaire via the
web. Households that decide to
complete the web-based survey will
follow the same screener and topical
selection path as the web push.
Households that choose to complete the
paper screener questionnaire rather than
completing the survey on the internet
and that have eligible children will be
mailed a paper topical questionnaire
upon receipt of their completed paper
screener at the Census Bureau’s
National Processing Center. If a
household in the mixed-mode group
chooses to complete the paper screener
instead of completing the web-based
screener via the internet, then the
household may receive an additional
topical questionnaire incentive.

topical questionnaire. It is equal to I/HCt, where I
is the count of completed topicals and HCt is the
estimated count of households with children in the
sample or S+R+(S+R)/(S+X+R) * e(UR+UO).
7 Total Response Rate is the proportion of
screener-eligible households that completed a
screener or topical questionnaire. It is equal to
(X+I+P)/(X+I+P+RS+eUS), where I is the count of
completed topicals, P is the count of sufficient
partial completed topicals, RS is screener refusals,
and eUS is the estimated count of screener eligible
households among nonresponding addresses.

of proposed production activity to the
FTZ Board for its facility in
Chattanooga, Tennessee. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on November 6, 2019.
Volkswagen already has authority to
produce passenger motor vehicles
within within FTZ 134. The current
request would add a foreign status
component to the scope of authority.

Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
component described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Volkswagen from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
components used in export production.
On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus component noted below,
Volkswagen would be able to choose the
duty rate during customs entry
procedures that applies to passenger
motor vehicles (duty rate—2.5%).
Volkswagen would be able to avoid duty
on foreign-status components which
become scrap/waste. Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.
The component sourced from abroad
is gas springs (duty rate—3.9%).

interested parties commented on the
scope of the investigations as it
appeared in the Initiation Notice.3
Commerce addressed these comments in
the Preliminary Determination, wherein
Commerce preliminarily modified the
scope language as it appeared in the
Initiation Notice to exclude bulk
continuous filament yarn.4 No
interested parties commented on the
preliminary exclusion of bulk
continuous filament yarn. Thus, we
have made no changes to the scope
language from the Preliminary
Determination with regard to bulk
continuous filament yarn.
In the Preliminary Determination, we
also noted that on May 2, 2019, the
petitioners 5 requested that Commerce
include an additional Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheading in the scope language.6 We
stated our intent to address this request
in the final determinations of this and
the above-referenced concurrent
investigations. Specifically, the
petitioners requested that Commerce
add HTSUS 5402.52.00 covering twisted
yarn to the scope of the investigations.7
As no interested parties rebutted the
petitioners’ request to add this HTSUS
subheading, and Commerce finds the
petitioners’ request is reasonable, we
have revised the scope of the
investigations to include HTSUS
5402.52.00. See Appendix I for the final
scope of the investigation.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs that were submitted by
parties in this investigation are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues

Memorandum is attached to this notice

Verification
As provided for in section 782(i) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), in July and August 2019, we
conducted verification of the sales and
cost information submitted by Reliance
Industries Limited (Reliance) for use in
our final determination. We used
standard verification procedures,

to the FTZ Board for its facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on November 6, 2019.
Volkswagen already has authority to produce passenger motor
vehicles within within FTZ 134. The current request would add a foreign
status component to the scope of authority.

Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited
to the specific foreign-status component described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the
FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Volkswagen from
customs duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export

noted below, Volkswagen would be able to choose the duty rate during
