Request; Household Pulse Survey
On May 25, 2022, the Department of
Commerce received clearance from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to
conduct Phase 3.5 of the Household
Pulse Survey (OMB No. 0607–1013,
Exp. 10/31/23). The Household Pulse
Survey was designed to meet a need for
timely information associated with
household experiences during the
Covid–19 pandemic. The Department is
committed to ensuring that the data
collected by the Household Pulse
Survey continue to meet information

needs as they may evolve over the
course of the pandemic. This notice
serves to inform of the Department’s
intent to request clearance from OMB to
make some revisions to the Household
Pulse Survey questionnaire. To ensure
that the data collected by the Household
Pulse Survey continue to meet
information needs as they evolve over
the course of the pandemic, the Census
Bureau submits this Request for
Revision to an Existing Collection for a
revised Phase 3.6 questionnaire.
Phase 3.6 includes new questions on
the ability to carry out day-to-day
activities due to experiencing long
COVID, non-parental childcare
arrangements and costs of childcare,
changes in transportation behaviors due
to cost of gas, a series of questions
regarding access to infant formula, and
inflation and changes in behavior due to
increasing prices. Questions on K–12
enrollment and educational catch-up
activities will be reinstated for Phase
3.6. There are also modifications to
existing questions, including changing
the reference period for the
unemployment insurance items, adding
Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants, and
Children (WIC) as a response option to
the question that asks about how
households meet spending needs, and
replacing employment categories with
the standard North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes.
Several questions will be removed for
Phase 3.6, including questions on lack
of access to childcare, use of public
transportation and ridesharing, working
or volunteering outside the home,
receipt and use of the Child Tax Credit,
post-secondary educational disruptions,
and telehealth for adults and children.
It is the Department’s intention to
commence data collection using the
revised instrument on or about August
24, 2022. The Department invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections,
which helps us assess the impact of our
information collection requirements and
minimize the public’s reporting burden.
Public comments were previously
sought on the Household Pulse Survey
via the Federal Register on May 19,
2020, June 3, 2020, February 1, 2021,
April 13, 2021, June 24, 2021, October
26, 2021, January 24, 2022, and April

bricks (bricks) from the People’s
Republic of China (China). In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.227(b)(1),
Commerce is initiating a covered

whether the merchandise described in
the referral is subject to the AD/CVD
orders on bricks from China. Interested
parties are invited to comment and
submit factual information addressing
this initiation.
DATES: Applicable July 20, 2022.

AGENCY:

Background
Section 517(b)(4)(A)(i) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
provides a procedure whereby if, during
the course of an Enforce and Protect Act
(EAPA) investigation, CBP is unable to
determine whether the merchandise at
issue is covered merchandise within the
meaning of section 517(a)(3) of the Act,
it shall refer the matter to Commerce to
make such a determination. Section
517(a)(3) of the Act defines covered
merchandise as merchandise that is
subject to an AD order issued under
section 736 of the Act or a CVD order

issued under section 706 of the Act.
Section 517(b)(4)(B) of the Act states
that Commerce, after receiving a
covered merchandise referral from CBP,
shall determine whether the
merchandise is covered merchandise
and promptly transmit its determination
to CBP. Commerce’s regulations at 19
CFR 351.227 establish procedures for
covered merchandise referrals that
Commerce receives from CBP in
connection with an EAPA
investigation.1
On June 30, 2022, Commerce received
a sufficient covered merchandise
referral from CBP regarding CBP EAPA
Investigation No. 7412 2 which concerns
the AD/CVD orders on bricks from
China.3 Specifically, CBP explained that
an allegation was filed by the Magnesia
Carbon Brick Fair Trade Coalition
(MCBFTC) alleging that products
imported by Fedmet Resource
Corporation, LLC (Fedmet) as nonsubject Bastion® brand magnesia
alumina carbon (MAC) bricks are
instead magnesia carbon bricks which
are covered by the AD/CVD orders. CBP
informed Commerce that CBP is unable
to determine whether certain
merchandise is covered merchandise
subject to the AD/CVD orders on bricks
from China. Thus, CBP has requested
that Commerce issue a determination as
to whether products imported as nonsubject Bastion® brand MAC bricks are
subject to the AD/CVD orders on bricks
from China.
Initiation of Covered Merchandise
Inquiry
Commerce is hereby notifying
interested parties that it is initiating a
covered merchandise inquiry to
determine whether the merchandise
subject to the referral is covered
merchandise within the meaning of
section 517(a)(3) of the Act.
Additionally, Commerce intends to

provide interested parties with the
opportunity to participate in this
segment of the proceeding, including
through the submission of comments
and factual information, and, if
appropriate, verification. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.227(m)(2), Commerce
is initiating a single inquiry regarding
the merchandise described in the
covered merchandise referral on the
record of the AD proceeding. Upon
issuance of a final covered merchandise
determination, Commerce will include a
copy of the determination on the record
of the CVD proceeding.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.227(d)(1), within 30 days of the date
of publication of this notice, interested
parties are permitted one opportunity to
submit comment and factual
information addressing the initiation.
Within 14 days of the filing of such
comments, any interested party is
permitted one opportunity to submit
comment and factual information to
rebut, clarify, or correct factual
information submitted by the other
interested parties.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.227(d)(2), following initiation of a
covered merchandise inquiry,
Commerce may also issue
questionnaires and verify submissions
received, where appropriate. Commerce
may limit issuance of questionnaires to
a reasonable number of respondents.
Questionnaire responses are due on the
date specified by Commerce. Within 14
days after a questionnaire response has
been filed with Commerce, an interested
party other than the original submitter
is permitted one opportunity to submit
comment and factual information to
rebut, clarify, or correct factual
information contained in the
questionnaire response. Within seven
days of the filing of such rebuttal,
clarification, or correction, the original
submitter is permitted one opportunity
to submit comment and factual
information to rebut, clarify, or correct
factual information submitted in the
interested party’s rebuttal, clarification,
or correction.
In certain circumstances, Commerce
may issue a preliminary determination
as to whether there is a reasonable basis
to believe or suspect that the product
that is subject to the covered
merchandise inquiry is covered by the
scope of the order. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.227(c), Commerce intends to issue a
final determination within 120 days of
the publication of this notice (this

determination, Commerce will convey a
