SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The U.S. Census Bureau plans to request a three-year extension of the current Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance of the Questionnaire for Building Permit Official (SOC–QBPO). The Census Bureau uses the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) electronic questionnaire SOC–QBPO to collect information from state and local building permit officials on: (1) the types of residential permits they issue, (2) the length of time a permit is valid, (3) how they store permits, and (4) the geographic coverage of the permit system. We need this information to carry out the sampling for the Survey of Housing Starts, Sales, and Completions (OMB number 0607–0110), also known as Survey of Construction (SOC). The SOC provides widely used measures of construction activity, including the Principal Economic Indicators: New Residential Construction, and New Residential Sales. The current OMB clearance is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2023. We will continue to use the current CAPI questionnaire. The overall length of the interview will not change, and the sample size will only receive a minor downward revision. II. Method of Collection The Census Bureau uses its field representatives to obtain information on the operating procedures of a permit office using the SOC–QBPO. The field PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62079 representative visits the permit office, conducts the interview with office staff, and completes this electronic form. III.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) continues to determine that the 30 companies subject to this administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain magnesia carbon bricks from the People’s Republic of China (China) are part of the China-wide entity because they did not demonstrate eligibility for separate rates.

No party submitted comments. Accordingly, the final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Scope of the Order 2 The scope of the Order covers magnesia carbon bricks from China. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Results. 1 See Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2020– 2021, 87 FR 35161 (June 9, 2022) (Preliminary Results). 2 See Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from Mexico and the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 57257 (September 20, 2010) (Order). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Oct 12, 2022 Jkt 259001 Final Results of Administrative Review We received no comments, and made no changes to the Preliminary Results. We continue to find that the 30 companies subject to this review did not file a no-shipment certification, a separate rate application, or a separate rate certificate. Thus, Commerce continues to determine that these companies have not demonstrated their eligibility for separate rate status. In this administrative review, no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and Commerce did not selfinitiate a review of the China-wide entity. Because no review of the Chinawide entity is being conducted, the China-wide entity rate is not subject to change as a result of this review. The rate previously established for the China-wide entity is 236.00 percent.3 Assessment Rates Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For the 30 companies subject to this review, we will instruct CBP to apply the Chinawide rate of 236.00 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for shipments of subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this notice, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, and which were not assigned the Chinawide rate in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (2) for all Chinese 3 Id. PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 236.00 percent; and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 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 POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Orders This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or 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 subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The U.S. Census Bureau plans to request a three-year extension of 
the current Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance of the 
Questionnaire for Building Permit Official (SOC-QBPO). The Census 
Bureau uses the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) 
electronic questionnaire SOC-QBPO to collect information from state and 
local building permit officials on: (1) the types of residential 
permits they issue, (2) the length of time a permit is valid, (3) how 
they store permits, and (4) the geographic coverage of the permit 
system. We need this information to carry out the sampling for the 
Survey of Housing Starts, Sales, and Completions (OMB number 0607-
0110), also known as Survey of Construction (SOC). The SOC provides 
widely used measures of construction activity, including the Principal 
Economic Indicators: New Residential Construction, and New Residential 
Sales.
    The current OMB clearance is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2023. 
We will continue to use the current CAPI questionnaire. The overall 
length of the interview will not change, and the sample size will only 
receive a minor downward revision.

information on the operating procedures of a permit office using the
