Management and Budget (OMB) for
PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM
clearance the following proposal for
collection of information under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS).
Form Number(s): HVS–600, BC–
1428RV, CPS–263(L).
Agency Approval Number: 0607–
0179.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden: 3,910 hours.
Number of Respondents: 6,518.
Avg Hours Per Response: 3 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census
Bureau seeks OMB clearance for the
collection of demographic information
in the Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS).
The HVS has been conducted since
1956 and serves a broad array of data
users.
The Census Bureau collects the HVS
data for a sample of vacant housing
units identified in the monthly Current
Population Survey (CPS) sample. The
HVS provides the only quarterly
statistics on rental vacancy rates, and
home ownership rates for the United
States, the four census regions, inside
vs. outside metropolitan areas (MAs),
the 50 States, the District of Columbia,
and the 100 largest MAs. Private and
public sector organizations use these
rates extensively to gauge and analyze
the housing market. In addition, the
rental vacancy rate is a component of
the index of leading economic
indicators published by the Department
of Commerce.
Several other government agencies
use these data on a continuing basis. For
example, the Bureau of Economic
Analysis uses the HVS data in
calculating consumer expenditures for
housing as a component of the gross
domestic product; the Office of Thrift
Supervision uses these data to project
mortgage demands; and the Department
of Housing and Urban Development
relies on the HVS data to measure the
adequacy of the supply of rental and
homeowner units. The National
Association of Home Builders, the
National Association of Realtors, the
Federal National Mortgage Association,
the Federal Reserve Board, the Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation, and the
American Federation of Labor-Congress
of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO)
are among the many users in the private
sector who routinely use the HVS data
in making policy decisions relating to
the housing market. In addition,
investment firms use the HVS data to
analyze market trends and for economic
forecasting.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.

Glycine from the People’s Republic of
China: Notice of Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review
AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
U.S. Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On April 7, 2005, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published the preliminary
results of its administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on glycine
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’). See Glycine From the People’s
Republic of China: Preliminary Results
of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 70 FR 17649 (April 7, 2005)
(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). The
administrative review covers the period
March 1, 2003, through February 29,
2004.
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we have made
changes in the margin calculation.
Therefore, the final results differ from
the Preliminary Results. The final
weighted–average dumping margin for
the reviewed company is listed below in
the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of
Review.’’
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 12, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 7, 2005, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Results of its administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on glycine from the PRC. See
Preliminary Results. The administrative
review covers the period March 1, 2003,
through February 29, 2004. The review
covers one manufacturer/exporter of
subject merchandise, Baoding Mantong
Fine Chemistry Co., Ltd. (‘‘Baoding
Mantong’’).
Since the publication of the
Preliminary Results, the following
events have occurred. The Department
invited parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. On April 25, 2005,
Baoding Mantong submitted a
Submission of Publicly Available Data
For Use As Surrogate Values (‘‘April
2005 Surrogate Value Submission’’). On
May 9, 2005, the Department received a
timely filed case brief from Baoding
Mantong (‘‘Case Brief’’). The
Department did not receive a case brief
from petitioners. The Department did
not receive any rebuttal briefs. On May
9, 2005, the respondent submitted a
request for a hearing. On June 15, 2005,
the respondent submitted a letter to
withdraw its request for a hearing.
Separate Rates
Baoding Mantong has requested a
separate, company–specific
antidumping duty rate. In the
Preliminary Results, the Department
found that Baoding Mantong met the
criteria for the application of a separate
antidumping duty rate. The Department
has not received any other information
since the Preliminary Results which
would warrant reconsideration of our
separate–rate determination with
respect to Baoding Mantong. Therefore,
we determine that Baoding Mantong
should be assigned an individual
dumping margin in this administrative
review.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case brief by
the party in this administrative review
are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum (‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’) from Barbara E.
Tillman, Acting Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration, to
Joseph A. Spetrini, Acting Assistant
PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM
Secretary for Import Administration,
dated August 5, 2005, which is hereby
adopted in this notice. A list of the
issues which the party has raised and to
which the Department has responded in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum is
attached to this notice as an Appendix.
Parties can find a complete discussion
of all issues raised in this review and
the corresponding recommendations in
this public memorandum, which is on
file in the Central Records Unit
(‘‘CRU’’), Room B–099, of the main
Commerce building.
In addition, a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the Web at http:/
/ia.ita.doc.gov. The paper copy and
electronic version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
The Department has now completed
this review in accordance with section
751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
glycine, which is a free–flowing
crystalline material, like salt or sugar.
Glycine is produced at varying levels of
purity and is used as a sweetener/taste
enhancer, a buffering agent,
reabsorbable amino acid, chemical
intermediate, and a metal complexing
agent. This order covers glycine of all
purity levels. Glycine is currently
classified under subheading
2922.49.4020 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise under the order is
dispositive.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on information the Department
received after the Preliminary Results,
we have made certain changes to the
margin calculation for Baoding
Mantong. For a complete discussion of
these changes, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Specifically, the Department has
changed its selection of a surrogate
value for the input of ammonia for the
final results. See Issues and Decision
Memorandum at Comment 1. The
Department has also changed its
selection of the surrogate companies to
be used to value the financial ratios of
overhead, selling, general, and
administrative (‘‘SG&A’’), and profit for
the final results. See Issues and Decision
Memorandum at Comment 2.
