awareness and personal relevancy; and
many motivators that were leveraged in
2000 still resonate. However, the social
and political landscape has shifted since
Census 2000 and the Census Bureau is
facing new challenges such as:
• Distrust in government is higher
than ever;
• Confidentiality issues heightened;
• Shifting core values (quality of life;
family values);
• Definition of community is
broadening;
• Recent debates on immigration; and
• Increased language barriers.
The purpose of the Census
Participation Survey is to inform tactical
and strategic decisions for the ICP. The
collected data will not be used to
produce official Census Bureau
estimates.
II. Method of Collection
The Census Participation Survey will
be administered to a sample of adults.
Most interviews will be selected though
random-digit-dialing and administered
via Computer Assisted Telephone
Interviewing (CATI), while a small
portion of the interviews will be
conducted in-person. Some of the CATI
interviews will be conducted on the
respondent’s cell phone. A $10 gift will
be provided to respondents as
compensation for costs (inbound
charges) incurred from the cell phone
interview. Additionally, a $10 gift will
be provided to respondents to the in-
person interview to increase the
response rate. When an address is
available, respondents will be notified
of the data collection with a pre-
notification letter. The Census
Participation Survey will focus on the
following topic areas:
• Awareness about the census and
attitudes and perceptions about the
Census Bureau;
• Barriers and motivations for census
participation;
• Potential 2010 Census messaging
alternatives;
• Current issues and their relevancy
to census participation;
• Individual-level participation in
Census 2000 (self-reported) and
participation intent for the 2010 Census;
and
• Demographics, socioeconomics,
and psychographics.

1 The EAR are currently codified at 15 CFR parts
730–774 (2007). The EAR are issued under the
Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50
U.S.C. app. 2401–2420 (2000)) (‘‘EAA’’). Since
August 21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse and the
President, through Executive Order 13222 of August
17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which
has been extended by successive presidential
notices, the most recent being that of August 15,
2007 (72 FR 46137 (August 16, 2007)), has
continued the Regulations in effect under the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50

14DEN1
 71118 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 240 / Friday, December 14, 2007 / Notices
(collectively referred to as the
‘‘Respondents’’)
On June 1, 2007, I found that evidence
presented by BIS demonstrated that the
Respondents knowingly violated the
EAR on at least five occasions between
on or about September 30, 2005 and on
or about April 17, 2006 by exporting
items subject to the EAR from the
United States to the Vikram Sarabhai
Space Centre (‘‘VSSC’’) and Bharat
Dynamics Ltd. (‘‘BDL’’) in India without
the licenses required by Section 744.1 of
the EAR. VSSC and BDL are
organizations set forth on the Entity List
set forth in Supplement No. 4 to Part
744 of the EAR. In each instance, the
items were shipped from the United
States to Singapore for subsequent
shipment to VSSC and BDL. The
Respondents were aware of the Entity
List licensing requirements and on at
least one occasion provided an end-user
statement to a U.S. vendor that falsely
represented the end-user in order to
conceal the intended actual end user,
VSSC, of the vendor’s items. I further
found that such violations had been
significant, deliberate and covert, and
were likely to occur again, especially
given the nature of the transactions. As
such, a TDO was needed to give notice
to persons and companies in the United
States and abroad that they should cease
dealing with the Respondents in export
transactions involving items subject to
the EAR. Issuance of the TDO, rendered
effective as of June 12, 2007, the date of
publication in the Federal Register, was
consistent with the public interest to
preclude future violations of the EAR.
OEE has presented additional
evidence indicating that Cirrus
Singapore remains in business despite
issuance of the TDO. I now find, based
on the continued circumstances that led
to the initial issuance of the TDO on
June 1, 2007 and the additional
evidence supplied by OEE, that the
renewal of this TDO for a period of 180
days is necessary and in the public
interest, to prevent an imminent
violation of the EAR. All parties to this
TDO have been given notice of the
request for renewal.
It is therefore ordered:
First, that the Respondents, Cirrus

Respondents by affiliation, ownership,

Fourth, that this Order does not
prohibit any export, reexport, or other
transaction subject to the EAR where the
only items involved that are subject to
the EAR are the foreign-produced direct

Section 766.24(e) of the EAR, the
Respondents may, at any time, appeal
