Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 88 / Monday, May 10, 2021 / Notices
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential
nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Type of Respondents: Individuals and
Households, Business and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimate of Burden per Response: 1 to
60 Minutes.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 3,500,000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 875,000 hours.
Comment is Invited: Comment is
invited on: (1) Whether this collection
of information is necessary for the stated
purposes and the proper performance of
the functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical or scientific utility; (2) the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 20—Norfolk,
Virginia; Notification of Proposed
Production Activity; STIHL,
Incorporated (Handheld Outdoor
Power Equipment), Virginia Beach,
Virginia
STIHL, Incorporated (STIHL)
submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board for
its facility in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on May 3, 2021.
STIHL already has authority to
produce handheld outdoor power
equipment and related parts within
Subzone 20E. The current request
would add two foreign status materials/
components to the scope of authority.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
materials/components described in the
submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt SITHL from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status
materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for
the foreign-status materials/components
noted below, STIHL would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to blowers,
trimmers, sprayers, cutters, cultivators,
and chainsaws (duty rate ranges from
duty-free to 4.7%). STIHL 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 materials/components sourced
from abroad include flat-rolled and
cold-rolled alloy special steel products
of a width less than 600 mm, and bars
and rods of alloy special steel (dutyfree). The request indicates that the
components are subject to an
antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/

CVD) order if imported from certain
countries. The FTZ Board’s regulations
(15 CFR 400.14(e)) require that
merchandise subject to AD/CVD orders,
or items which would be otherwise
subject to suspension of liquidation
under AD/CVD procedures if they
entered U.S. customs territory, be
admitted to the zone in privileged
foreign status (19 CFR 146.41). The
request also indicates that certain
materials/components are subject to
duties under Section 232 of the Trade
Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232) or
Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974
(Section 301), depending on the country
of origin. The applicable Section 232
and Section 301 decisions require
subject merchandise to be admitted to
FTZs in privileged foreign status.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is June
21, 2021.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s
website, which is accessible via
