agencies. In this survey, two collection
forms are used for rental unit data: OS–
2000 covering ‘‘Houses–Apartments–
Mobile Homes,’’ and OS–2001 covering
‘‘Trailer Spaces.’’
Respondents are typically property
management companies or significant
property owners in specific
communities, and are contacted by
email or telephone. They may provide
the rental unit information requested in
OS–2000 and OS–2001 verbally, update
rental data collected during a previous
survey, enhance/complete rental data
gathered from published sources, or
provide printouts/lists of rental units
they manage.
This collection of information
provides data that is essential for DOI
and the other Federal agencies to
manage GFH in accordance with the
requirements of OMB Circular A–45
(Revised). If this information were not
collected from the public, DOI and the
other Federal agencies providing GFH
would be required to use professional
real estate appraisals of private market
rental costs, again, in accordance with
OMB Circular A–45, but at an increased
cost to the taxpayer.

II. Data
(1) Title: Private Rental Survey.
OMB Control Number: 1084–0033.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection
Affected Entities: Businesses and
other for-profit institutions.
Estimated annual number of unique
respondents: 1,883
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
Estimated annual average number of
responses (rental units): OS–2000:
3,180; OS–2001: 359; Total: 3,539.
Frequency of response: Once per
respondent every fourth year. Three or
four of 16 total survey regions are
surveyed every year. Therefore a
respondent or business may potentially
be surveyed every fourth year, if exact
same unit is surveyed again four years
later. In addition, if an individual
respondent or business is a significant
rental property manager or rental
property owner in the community, they
may provide multiple responses in the
same survey. Approximately 63% of
respondents furnish more than one
rental unit (OS–2000 and OS–2001).
About 60% of respondents validate
published data (tax records,
advertisement, etc.), 30% update their
previous survey data, and 10% furnish
a new OS–2000 or OS–2001.
Participation is optional.
(2) Annual reporting and
recordkeeping burden:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:32 Dec 20, 2019
Jkt 250001
Total annualized reporting per
response: 6 minutes for OS–2000 and 4
minutes for OS–2001.
Total annualized reporting: 342
hours.
(3) Description of the need and use of
the information: This information
collection provides the data that enables
DOI to determine open market rental
costs for GFH. These rates in turn enable
DOI to set GFH rental rates for other
Federal agencies, as a shared federal
service, in accordance with the
requirements of OMB Circular A–45
(Revised). The information collection
enables government employee rental
rates to be established that comply with
A–45 for several agencies costeffectively.
(4) As required under 5 CFR
1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice
soliciting comments on the information
collection was published on May 5,
2016 (81 FR 27171). No comments were
received. This notice provides the
public with an additional 30 days in
which to comment on the proposed
information collection activity.
III. Request for Comments
The Department of the Interior invites
comments on:
(a) 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;
(b) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
and the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(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 appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—On January 23, 2018,
the President, pursuant to section 203 of
the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253), issued
Proclamation 9693, imposing a
safeguard measure on imports of CSPV
products, in the form of (a) a tariff-rate
quota (TRQ) on certain imports of solar
cells not partially or fully assembled
into other products and (b) an increase
in duties on certain imports of modules.
The proclamation was published in the
Federal Register on January 25, 2018
(83 FR 3541). The measure took effect
on February 7, 2018, for a period of four
years, or through February 6, 2022. The
President imposed the measure
following receipt of a report from the
Commission in November 2017 under
section 202 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C.
2252) that contained an affirmative
determination, remedy
recommendations, and certain
additional findings (see Crystalline
Silicon Photovoltaic Cells (Whether or
not Partially or Fully Assembled into
Other Products), investigation No. TA–
201–75, USITC Publication 4739,
November 2017).
Section 204(a)(4) of the Trade Act (19
U.S.C. 2254(a)(4)) requires the
Commission, upon request of the
President, to advise the President of its
judgment as to the probable economic
effect on the industry concerned of any
reduction, modification, or termination
of the action taken under section 203 of
the Trade Act which is under
consideration. In his letter of December
6, 2019, the USTR, under authority
delegated by the President and pursuant
to section 204(a)(4) of the Trade Act,
requested that the Commission provide
its advice regarding the probable
economic effect on the domestic CSPV
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:32 Dec 20, 2019
Jkt 250001
cell and module manufacturing industry
of modifying the safeguard measure.
Specifically, the USTR requested that
the Commission analyze the effect of
increasing the level of the tariff-rate
quota applicable to imports of CSPV
cells from the current 2.5 gigawatts
(GW) to 4, 5, or 6 GW, without other
changes to the remedy. As requested,
the Commission will provide its report
to the USTR by no later than 30 days
from the date of the report currently
being prepared by the Commission
under section 204(a)(2) of the Trade Act
(Investigation No. TA–201–75
(Monitoring), Crystalline Silicon
Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not
Partially or Fully Assembled into Other
Products: Monitoring Developments in
the Domestic Industry).
For further information concerning
the conduct of this investigation and
rules of general application, consult the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B
(19 CFR part 201), and part 206,
subparts A and F (19 CFR part 206).
Limited disclosure of confidential
business information (CBI).—The
Commission may include CBI in the
report it sends to the President and to
the USTR. Additionally, all information,
including CBI, submitted in this
investigation may be disclosed to and
used by (i) the Commission, its
employees and Offices, and contract
personnel (a) for developing or
maintaining the records of this or a
related proceeding, or (b) in internal
investigations, audits, reviews, and
evaluations relating to the programs,
personnel, and operations of the
Commission including under 5 U.S.C.
Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. government
employees and contract personnel for
cybersecurity purposes.
The Commission will not release
information which the Commission
considers to be confidential business
information unless the party submitting
the confidential business information
had notice, at the time of submission,
that such information would be released
by the Commission, or such party
subsequently consents to the release of
the information. The Commission will
not otherwise disclose any CBI in a
manner that would reveal the operations
of the firm supplying the information.
The Commission will not release CBI
obtained in this investigation to
representatives of other interested
parties under an administrative
protective order (APO). Interested

information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA). Currently, the Office of LaborManagement Standards (OLMS) of the
Department of Labor (Department) is
soliciting comments concerning the
proposed extension of the collection of
information requirements implementing
the Labor-Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act of 1959, as amended
(LMRDA). A copy of the proposed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Office
of Labor-Management Standards
(OLMS) of the Department of Labor
(Department) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension of
the collection of information
requirements implementing the LaborManagement Reporting and Disclosure
Act of 1959, as amended (LMRDA). In
particular, the Department seeks to
revise the existing ICR in order to
ensure a fully comprehensive estimate
of such burden associated with the
LMRDA, by including the recordkeeping
PO 00000
Frm 00075

burden associated with union officer
elections. See 29 U.S.C. 481. Under 29
U.S.C. 481, election officials designated
in the constitution and bylaws or the
secretary, if no other official is
designated, shall preserve for one year
the ballots and all other records
pertaining to a labor organization’s
election of officers. Additionally, the
revision is necessary in order to
incorporate the reporting burden
associated with the voluntary
submission of collective bargaining
agreements to OLMS pursuant to Labor
Management Relations Act section
211(a) and Secretary’s Order 4–2007.
Finally, the revision is necessary due to
electronic filing changes associated with
the Forms LM–1, LM–3, LM–4, LM–10,
LM–20, and LM–21. The Department
proposes to remove the continuing
hardship exemption for Form LM–3 and
LM–4 filers, and also seeks to make
mandatory electronic filing for labor
organizations that file the Form LM–1,
labor relations consultants that file the
Form LM–20 and Form LM–21, and
employers that file the Form LM–10.
I. Background: Congress enacted the
Labor-Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act of 1959, as amended
(LMRDA), to provide for the disclosure
of information on the financial
transactions and administrative
practices of labor organizations. The
statute also provides, under certain
circumstances, for reporting by labor
organization officers and employees,
employers, labor relations consultants,
and surety companies. Section 208 of
the LMRDA authorizes the Secretary to
issue rules and regulations prescribing
the form of the required reports. The
reporting provisions were devised to
implement a basic tenet of the LMRDA:
the guarantee of democratic procedures
and safeguards within labor
organizations, which are designed to
protect the basic rights of union
members.
Pursuant to section 201 of the
LMRDA, the Department established the
initial Form LM–1 Labor Organization
Information Report, as well as the
annual financial disclosure reports: The
Forms LM–2, LM–3, and LM–4. These
reports detail the receipts,
disbursements, assets, and liabilities of
covered labor organizations during their
previous fiscal year. The Form LM–2 is
the most detailed report, for those labor
organizations with $250,000 or more in
total annual receipts. The Form LM–3 is
available for those labor organizations
with fewer than $250,000 in total
annual receipts, and the Form LM–4 is
available for those labor organizations

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--On January 23, 2018, the President, pursuant to
section 203 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253), issued Proclamation
9693, imposing a safeguard measure on imports of CSPV products, in the
form of (a) a tariff-rate quota (TRQ) on certain imports of solar cells
not partially or fully assembled into other products and (b) an
increase in duties on certain imports of modules. The proclamation was
published in the Federal Register on January 25, 2018 (83 FR 3541). The
measure took effect on February 7, 2018, for a period of four years, or
through February 6, 2022. The President imposed the measure following
receipt of a report from the Commission in November 2017 under section
202 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252) that contained an affirmative
determination, remedy recommendations, and certain additional findings
(see Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells (Whether or not Partially
or Fully Assembled into Other Products), investigation No. TA-201-75,
USITC Publication 4739, November 2017).
Section 204(a)(4) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2254(a)(4)) requires
the Commission, upon request of the President, to advise the President
of its judgment as to the probable economic effect on the industry
concerned of any reduction, modification, or termination of the action
taken under section 203 of the Trade Act which is under consideration.
In his letter of December 6, 2019, the USTR, under authority delegated
by the President and pursuant to section 204(a)(4) of the Trade Act,
requested that the Commission provide its advice regarding the probable
economic effect on the domestic CSPV cell and module manufacturing
industry of modifying the safeguard measure. Specifically, the USTR
requested that the Commission analyze the effect of increasing the
level of the tariff-rate quota applicable to imports of CSPV cells from
the current 2.5 gigawatts (GW) to 4, 5, or 6 GW, without other changes
to the remedy. As requested, the Commission will provide its report to
the USTR by no later than 30 days from the date of the report currently
being prepared by the Commission under section 204(a)(2) of the Trade
Act (Investigation No. TA-201-75 (Monitoring), Crystalline Silicon
Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Partially or Fully Assembled into
Other Products: Monitoring Developments in the Domestic Industry).
For further information concerning the conduct of this
investigation and rules of general application, consult the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and
B (19 CFR part 201), and part 206, subparts A and F (19 CFR part 206).
Limited disclosure of confidential business information (CBI).--The
Commission may include CBI in the report it sends to the President and
to the USTR. Additionally, all information, including CBI, submitted in
this investigation may be disclosed to and used by (i) the Commission,
its employees and Offices, and contract personnel (a) for developing or
maintaining the records of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in
internal investigations, audits, reviews, and evaluations relating to
the programs, personnel, and operations of the Commission including
under 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. government employees and
contract personnel for cybersecurity purposes.
The Commission will not release information which the Commission
considers to be confidential business information unless the party
submitting the confidential business information had notice, at the
time of submission, that such information would be released by the
Commission, or such party subsequently consents to the release of the
information. The Commission will not otherwise disclose any CBI in a
manner that would reveal the operations of the firm supplying the
information.
The Commission will not release CBI obtained in this investigation
to representatives of other interested parties under an administrative
protective order (APO). Interested parties who may have obtained CBI
under the APO issued in the ongoing Investigation No. TA-201-75
(Monitoring), Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not
Partially or Fully Assembled Into Other Products: Report on Monitoring
of Developments in the Domestic Industry, should be aware that they may
not use CBI obtained under the APO in that monitoring investigation in
