We invite the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on November 8, 2021 during a 30-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce. Title: Survey of Income and Program Participation. OMB Control Number: 0607–1000. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:17 Aug 19, 2022 Jkt 256001 Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular submission, Request for a Revision of a Currently Approved Collection. Number of Respondents: 63,000. Average Hours per Response: 63 minutes. Burden Hours: 66,150. Needs and Uses: The SIPP collects information about a variety of topics including demographics, household composition, education, nativity and citizenship, health insurance coverage, Medicaid, Medicare, employment and earnings, unemployment insurance, assets, child support, disability, housing subsidies, migration, Old-Age Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI), poverty, and participation in various government programs like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The SIPP sample is nationally representative, with an oversample of low-income areas, in order to increase the ability to measure participation in government programs. The SIPP program provides critical information necessary to understand patterns and relationships in income and program participation. It will fulfill its objectives to keep respondent burden and costs low, maintain high data quality and timeliness, and use a refined and vetted instrument and processing system. The SIPP data collection instrument maintains the improved data collection experience for respondents and interviewers and focuses on improvements in data quality and better topic integration. Starting in 2019, the Census Bureau and the Social Security Administration (SSA) entered into a joint agreement where both agencies support the SIPP program by contributing resources to add, process, review, and maintain additional content on marital history, parental mortality, retirement and pension, and disability. This joint agreement started in September 2019 and goes until September 30, 2023. The SIPP instrument is currently written in Blaise and C#. It incorporates an Event History Calendar (EHC) design to help ensure that the SIPP will collect intra-year dynamics of income, program participation, and other activities with at least the same data quality as earlier panels. The EHC is intended to help respondents recall information in a more natural ‘‘autobiographical’’ manner by using life events as triggers to recall other economic events. For example, a residence change may often occur contemporaneously with a change in employment. The entire process of PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 compiling the calendar focuses, by its nature, on consistency and sequential order of events, and attempts to correct for otherwise missing data. Since the SIPP EHC collects information using this ‘‘autobiographical’’ manner for the prior year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, select questions were modified to include answer options related to the pandemic as well as adding new questions pertaining to the pandemic. For instance, we adjusted the question regarding being away from work parttime to include being possibly furloughed due to coronavirus pandemic business closures. We also added new questions to collect information on whether the respondent received any stimulus payments. Affected Public: Individual or households. Frequency: Annually. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13, United States Code, Sections 141, 182. This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view the Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the following website www.reginfo.gov/ public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or by using the search function and entering either the title of the collection or the OMB Control Number 0607–1000.

PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Verification Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information relied upon in making its final determination in this investigation. However, we took additional steps in lieu of on-site verification to verify the information relied upon in making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Act.5 All-Others Rate In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(i)(I) of the Act, we calculated countervailable subsidy rates for the individually investigated exporters and producers (i.e., Astrotech Steels Pvt. Ltd. (Astrotech) and Geekay). Consistent with sections 705(c)(1)(B)(i)(I) and 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we also calculated an estimated allothers rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated. Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act states that ‘‘the all-others rate shall be equal to the weighted-average countervailable subsidy rates established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis countervailable subsidy rates, and any rates determined entirely under section 776 {of the Act}.’’ Therefore, Commerce calculated the all-others rate using a weighted average of the individual estimated subsidy rates 4 See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity. 5 See Commerce’s Letters, In Lieu of On-site Verification Questionnaire, dated June 2, 2022, and June 9, 2022, respectively; see also ‘‘Astrotech’s In Lieu of Verification Questionnaire Response,’’ dated June 10, 2022; and Geekay’s Letter, ‘‘In Lieu of OnSite Verification Questionnaire Response,’’ dated June 17, 2022 (Geekay’s ILOV Response). 6 For example, due to minor corrections, we modified Geekay Wires Limited’s (Geekay) subsidy calculations; these corrections, however, did not change Geekay’s final subsidy rate.
