disclosure is set forth in 19 CFR 162.74 which requires that 
respondents submit information about the merchandise involved, a 
specification of the false statements or omissions, and what the true 
and accurate information should be. A valid prior disclosure will 
entitle the disclosing party to the reduced penalties pursuant to 19 
U.S.C. 1592(c)(4).

information collection with no change to the burden hours or to the
