SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Accounts Receivable
Confirmations.
OMB Control Number: 1012–0001.
Bureau Form Number: None.
Abstract: The Secretary of the U.S.
Department of the Interior is responsible
for mineral resource development on
Federal and Indian lands and the Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS). Various laws
require the Secretary to manage mineral
resource production from Federal and
Indian lands and the OCS, collect the
royalties and other mineral revenues
due, and distribute the funds collected
in accordance with applicable laws. The
Secretary also has a trust responsibility
to manage Indian lands and seek advice
and information from Indian
beneficiaries. ONRR performs the
minerals revenue management functions
for the Secretary and assists the
Secretary in carrying out the
Department’s trust responsibility for
Indian lands. Public laws pertaining to
mineral leases on Federal and Indian
lands are available at http://www.onrr.
gov/Laws_R_D/PublicLawsAMR.htm.
Minerals produced from Federal and
Indian leases vary greatly in the nature
of occurrence, production, and
processing methods. When a company
or an individual enters into a lease to
explore, develop, produce, and dispose
of minerals from Federal or Indian

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001

lands, that company or individual
agrees to pay the lessor a share in an
amount or value of production from the
leased lands. The regulations require the
lessee to report various kinds of
information to the lessor relative to the
disposition of the leased minerals. Such
information is generally available
within the records of the lessee or others
involved in developing, transporting,
processing, purchasing, or selling such
minerals. The information we collect
includes data necessary to ensure that
lessees accurately value production and
appropriately pay royalties.
Companies submit financial
information monthly to ONRR on Form
MMS–2014, Report of Sales and Royalty
Remittance (OMB Control Number
1012–0004) and on Form MMS–4430,
Solid Minerals Production and Royalty
Report (OMB Control Number 1012–
0010).
Every year, under the CFO, the
Department’s Office of Inspector
General, or its agent (agent), audits the
Department’s financial statements. The
Department’s goal is to receive an
unqualified opinion. Accounts
receivable confirmations are a common
practice in the audit business. Due to
continuously increasing scrutiny on
financial audits, third-party
confirmation of the validity of ONRR’s
financial records is necessary.
As part of the CFO audit, the agent
selects royalty payors at random and
provides the companies’ names and
addresses to ONRR. In order to meet the
CFO requirements, the letters must be
on ONRR letterhead; and the Deputy
Director for ONRR, or his or her
designee, must sign the letters. The
letter requests, by a specified date,
third-party confirmation responses that
ONRR’s accounts receivable records
agree with royalty payor records for the
following items: Customer
identification; royalty/invoice number;
payor-assigned document number; date
of ONRR receipt; original amount the
payor reported; and remaining balance
due ONRR. The agent mails the letters
to the payors, instructing them to
respond directly to the agent to confirm
the accuracy and/or validity of selected
royalty receivable items and amounts.
Verifying the amounts reported and the
balances due requires research and
analysis by payors.
We are requesting OMB’s approval to
continue to collect this information. Not
collecting this information would limit
the Secretary’s ability to discharge the
duties of the office. ONRR protects
proprietary information that payors
submit, and there are no questions of a
sensitive nature included in this
information collection.

the PRA requires each agency to ‘‘* * *
provide 60-day notice in the Federal
Register * * * and otherwise consult
with members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information * * *.’’
Agencies must specifically solicit
comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the agency to perform its
duties, including whether the
information is useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
To comply with the public
consultation process, we published a
notice in the Federal Register on August
26, 2011 (76 FR 53487), announcing that
we would submit this ICR to OMB for
approval. The notice provided the
required 60-day comment period. We
received no comments in response to
the notice.

this review may be viewed on the
Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS)
at http://edis.usitc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—On April 27, 2007, the
Department of Commerce issued an
antidumping duty order on imports of
activated carbon from China (72 FR
20988). The Commission is conducting
a review to determine whether
revocation of the order would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to the domestic industry
within a reasonably foreseeable time. It
will assess the adequacy of interested
party responses to this notice of
institution to determine whether to
conduct a full review or an expedited
review. The Commission’s
determination in any expedited review
will be based on the facts available,
which may include information
provided in response to this notice.
Definitions.—The following
definitions apply to this review:
(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or
kind of merchandise that is within the
scope of the five-year review, as defined
by the Department of Commerce.
(2) The Subject Country in this review
is China.
(3) The Domestic Like Product is the
domestically produced product or
products which are like, or in the
absence of like, most similar in
characteristics and uses with, the
Subject Merchandise. In its original
determination, the Commission defined
the Domestic Like Product to be certain
activated carbon, coextensive with
Commerce’s scope of the investigation.
(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S.
producers as a whole of the Domestic
Like Product, or those producers whose
collective output of the Domestic Like
Product constitutes a major proportion
of the total domestic production of the
product. In its original determination,
the Commission defined the Domestic
Industry as all known producers of
certain activated carbon, except

PO 00000

Frm 00062

Sfmt 4703

California Carbon. The Commission
found that appropriate circumstances
existed to exclude California Carbon
based on the related parties provision
pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1677(4)(B).
(5) The Order Date is the date that the
antidumping duty order under review
became effective. In this review, the
Order Date is April 27, 2007.
(6) An Importer is any person or firm
engaged, either directly or through a
parent company or subsidiary, in
importing the Subject Merchandise into
the United States from a foreign
manufacturer or through its selling
agent.
Participation in the review and public
service list.—Persons, including
industrial users of the Subject
Merchandise and, if the merchandise is
sold at the retail level, representative
consumer organizations wishing to
participate in the review as parties,
must file an entry of appearance with
the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11(b)(4) of the
Commission’s rules, no later than 21
days after publication of this notice in
the Federal Register. The Secretary will
maintain a public service list containing
the names and addresses of all persons,
or their representatives, who are parties
to the review.
Former Commission employees who
are seeking to appear in Commission
five-year reviews are advised that they
may appear in a review even if they
participated personally and
substantially in the corresponding
underlying original investigation. The
Commission’s designated agency ethics
official has advised that a five-year
review is not considered the ‘‘same
particular matter’’ as the corresponding
underlying original investigation for
purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post
employment statute for Federal
employees, and Commission rule
201.15(b) (19 CFR 201.15(b)), 73 FR
24609 (May 5, 2008). This advice was
developed in consultation with the
Office of Government Ethics.
Consequently, former employees are not
required to seek Commission approval
to appear in a review under Commission
rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the
corresponding underlying original
investigation was pending when they
were Commission employees. For
further ethics advice on this matter,
contact Carol McCue Verratti, Deputy
Agency Ethics Official, at 202–205–
3088.
