stranding—Level A—reports provide
basic information on marine mammal
strandings so that the National Marine

and analyze by region the species,
numbers, conditions, and causes of
illnesses and deaths of stranded marine
mammals. The Agency requires this

for the welfare of marine mammals
while in rehabilitation status. The
information for the marine mammal
rehabilitation disposition report is
required for monitoring and tracking
marine mammals held at various NMFSauthorized facilities. The information is
submitted primarily by volunteer
members making up the U.S. marine
mammal stranding network.

following proposal for collection of
information under the emergency
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA).
Title: Broadband Subscription and
Usage Survey (Supplement to the
Census Bureau’s Current Population
Survey).
Agency Form Number: None.
Type of Request: Emergency
submission.
Burden Hours: 458.
Average Time Per Response: 30
seconds.
Number of Respondents: 55,000.
Needs and Uses: NTIA proposes to
add four questions to the Census
Bureau’s October 2007 Current
Population Survey (CPS) in order to
gather reliable data on broadband (also
known as high-speed Internet) use by
U.S. households. President Bush has
established a national goal of universal,
affordable broadband access for all
Americans by 2007. To that end, the
Administration is working with
Congress, the Federal Communications
Commission, and other parties to
develop and advance economic and
regulatory policies that foster broadband
deployment. Current, systematic, and
comprehensive data on broadband
subscription and use by U.S.
households is critical to allow
policymakers not only to gauge progress
made to date, and to identify problem
areas with a specificity that permits
carefully targeted and cost-effective
responses.
The Census Bureau is widely regarded
as a superior collector of data based on
its centuries of experience and its
scientific methods. Collection of NTIA’s
requested broadband subscription and
usage data, moreover, will occur in
conjunction with Census’ scheduled
October Current Population Survey
(CPS), thereby significantly reducing the
potential burdens on the Bureau and the
households surveyed. Questions on
broadband and Internet usage were
included in six previous Census
household surveys.
The need for comprehensive
broadband data has become more
pressing in recent months and has
necessitated this request for expedited
review. Following the April 2007
release of an Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD)
ranking of broadband deployment
worldwide, Congress held a series of
hearings on the issue. The OECD has
noted that the data that they are using
to benchmark the United States is from
2003 as they have no other current

official data from the United States.
Congress has shown a particular interest
in improving available statistics on U.S.
broadband deployment and use. One
proposed bill introduced in May directs
the Census Bureau to modify its survey
instruments to collect information
similar to the data that NTIA proposes
to collect here. Modifying the October
CPS to include NTIA’s requested
broadband data will allow the
Commerce Department and NTIA to
respond to congressional concerns,
congressional directives, and to work
with the OECD on its broadband
methodologies with more recent data.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Jasmeet Seehra,

Whereas, the Board’s regulations (15
CFR Part 400) provide for the
establishment of special–purpose
subzones when existing zone facilities
cannot serve the specific use involved,
and when the activity results in
significant public benefit and is in the
public interest;
Whereas, the Port of South Louisiana,
grantee of Foreign–Trade Zone 124, has
made application to the Board for
authority to establish a special–purpose
subzone at the barite grinding and
milling facilities of M–I L.L.C., located
in Amelia, Louisiana (FTZ Docket 14–
2007, filed 4/16/07);
Whereas, notice inviting public
comment was given in the Federal
Register (72 FR 20323, 4/24/07); and,
Whereas, the Board adopts the
findings and recommendations of the
examiner’s report, and finds the
requirements of the FTZ Act and the
Board’s regulations are satisfied, and
that approval of the application would
be in the public interest;
Now, therefore,, the Board hereby
grants authority for subzone status for
activity related to barite grinding and
milling at the facilities of M–I L.L.C.,
located in Amelia, Louisiana (Subzone
124K), as described in the application
and Federal Register notice, and subject
to the FTZ Act and the Board’s
regulations, including Section 400.28.
