Title: Current Population Survey,
Annual Social and Economic Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0354.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission,
Request for Non-Substantive Change to
a Currently Approved Information
Collection.
Number of Respondents: 78,000.
Average Hours per Response: 25
minutes.
Burden Hours: 32,500.
Needs and Uses: Information on work
experience, personal income, noncash
benefits, current and previous year
health insurance coverage, employer-
sponsored insurance take-up, and
migration is collected through the
ASEC. The income data from the ASEC
are used by social planners, economists,
government officials, and market
researchers to gauge the economic well-
being of the country as a whole, and
selected population groups of interest.
This request is to add four questions to
the ASEC. The added questions will
assist researchers to evaluate the impact
of governmental assistance programs on
economic well-being, particularly for
the Supplemental Poverty Measure
(SPM).
•If children in the household are
reported to have received school meals,
a new follow-up question asks:
ÆDid your children continue
receiving free/reduced price meals
through your school or school district if
schools were closed during the
Coronovirus-COVID–19 pandemic?’’
Given widespread school closings in
response to the COVID–19 pandemic,
many school districts have shifted to
alternative ways to distribute free school
meals to children. However, the ability
for families to take up these programs
likely varies in ways that cannot be
uniformly predicted, so adding a follow-
up question about receipt of school
meals during school closures helps to
improve data quality on the market
value of these benefits.
•Three new questions regarding
stimulus payments are added for all
households.
ÆDuring 2020, did you or anyone
receive any stimulus payments or
payments received from the Department
of the Treasury due to the Coronavirus
Covid-19 pandemic?
ÆWho was the stimulus payment for?
ÆWhat was the amount of the
stimulus payment you received for all
covered adults and children in the
household?
Stimulus payment information will
allow researchers to estimate the
amount of such payments received by
households. The coronavirus stimulus
payments disbursed in 2020 were based
on income from 2018 or 2019, making
it nearly impossible to model with only
the 2020 income. This information will
provide accurate data on stimulus
payments received to properly estimate
after-tax income for the SPM.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 266—Dane
County, Wisconsin; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity, Coating
Place, Inc. (Pharmaceuticals), Verona,
Wisconsin
Coating Place, Inc. (CPI) submitted a
notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board for its facility
in Verona, Wisconsin. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on October 16,
2020.
The applicant has submitted a
separate application for FTZ designation
at the company’s facility under FTZ
266. The facility is used for the contract
manufacturing of pharmaceutical
products. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
FTZ activity would be limited to the
specific foreign-status material and
specific finished product described in
the submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt CPI from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status
component used in export production.
On its domestic sales, for the foreign-
status material noted below, CPI would
be able to choose the duty rate during
customs entry procedures that applies to
lasmiditan drug product intermediate
(duty free). CPI would be able to avoid
duty on foreign-status material which
become scrap/waste. Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.
The material sourced from abroad is
lasmiditan hemisuccinate active
pharmaceutical ingredient (duty rate,
6.5%).
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
December 7, 2020.
A copy of the notification will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
On July 29, 2019, Commerce initiated
the administrative review of the AD
order on chlorinated isocyanurates
(chlorinated isos) from China covering
the period June 1, 2018 through May 31,
2019.
1
The petitioners in this review are
Bio-lab; Inc., Clearon Corp.; and
Occidental Chemical Corp. (collectively,
the petitioners). This review covers two
producers/exporters: Heze Huayi and
Kangtai.
On February 21, 2020, Commerce
extended the deadline for the
preliminary determination of this
administrative review.
2
On April 24,
2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in
administrative reviews by 50 days.
3
Subsequently, on July 21, 2020,
Commerce tolled all preliminary and
final results in administrative reviews
by an additional 60 days,
4
thereby
extending the deadline for these final
results until October 19, 2020.
For a complete description of the
events that followed the initiation of
this review, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
5
A list of topics
included in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is included as Appendix
I to this notice. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete
version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly
at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
The signed and the electronic versions
of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
chlorinated isos, which are derivatives
of cyanuric acid, described as
chlorinated s-triazine triones.
6
Chlorinated isos are currently
classifiable under subheadings
2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021,
2933.69.6050, 3808.40.50, 3808.50.40
and 3808.94.5000 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of merchandise
subject to the scope of the order is
dispositive. For a full description of the
scope of the order, see Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Export prices have been calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Because China is a non-market economy
within the meaning of section 771(18) of
the Act, normal value has been
calculated in accordance with section
773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. A list of the
topics included in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is included as
an appendix to this notice.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
On August 28, 2019, Kangtai reported
that it had no entries of subject
merchandise during the POR.
7
U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
did not have any information to
contradict the claim of no shipments
during the POR.
8
Therefore, we
preliminarily determine that Kangtai
had no reviewable entries during the
POR. Consistent with Commerce’s
practice, we will not rescind the review
with respect to Kangtai, but will
complete the review and issue
instructions to CBP based on the final
results.
9
Preliminary Results of Review
Commerce preliminarily determines
that the following weighted-average
dumping margin exists for Heze Huayi
for the period of June 1, 2018 through
May 31, 2019:

date to be determined.
16
Parties should
confirm by telephone the date, time, and
location of the hearing two days before
the scheduled date.
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
which will include the results of our
analysis of all issues raised in the case
briefs, within 120 days of publication of
these preliminary results in the Federal
Register, unless extended, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of this
review, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries covered by
this review.
17
Commerce intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we are calculating
importer- or customer- specific
assessment rates for the merchandise
subject to this review. For any
individually examined respondent
whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent), Commerce will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of sales.
18
We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific
assessment rate is above de minimis.
Where either the respondent’s weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales database submitted by an
exporter individually examined during
this review, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
China-wide rate. Additionally, if
Commerce determines that an exporter
under review had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number will be
liquidated at the China-wide rate.
19
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
the exporter listed above, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in the final results of this review
(except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
a zero cash deposit rate will be required
for that company); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and
non-Chinese exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing producer/exporter-specific
combination rate published for the most
recent period; (3) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be eligible for a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 285.63
percent;
20
and (4) 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(s)
that supplied that non-Chinese exporter.
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a 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 review period. 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213 and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
