Affected Domestic Producers.
    OMB Number: 1651-0086.
    Form Number: CBP Form 7401.
    Abstract: This collection of information is used by CBP to make 
distributions of funds pursuant to the Continued Dumping and Subsidy 
Offset Act of 2000 (CDSOA). 19 U.S.C. 1675c (repealed by the Deficit 
Reduction Act of 2005, Pub. L. 109-171, 7601 (Feb. 8, 2006)). This Act 
prescribes the administrative procedures under which antidumping and 
countervailing duties assessed on imported products are distributed to 
affected domestic producers that petitioned for or supported the 
issuance of the order under which the duties were assessed. The amount 
of any distribution afforded to these domestic producers is based on 
certain qualifying expenditures that they incur after the issuance of 
the order or finding up to the effective date of the CDSOA's repeal, 
October 1, 2007. This distribution is known as the continued dumping 
and subsidy offset. The claims process for the CDSOA program is 
provided for in 19 CFR 159.61 and 159.63.
    A notice is published in the Federal Register in June of each year 
in order to inform claimants that they can make claims under the CDSOA. 
In order to make a claim under the CDSOA, CBP Form 7401 may be used. 
This form is accessible at http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/forms/ 
and can be submitted electronically through https://www.pay.gov/paygov/forms/formInstance.html?agencyFormId=8776895.
    Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the 
expiration date and to revise the burden hours as a result of updated 
estimates of the number of CDSOA claims prepared on an annual basis. 
There are no changes to the information collected.
    Type of Review: Extension (with a change to the burden hours).
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,200.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.75.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 2,100.
    Estimated Time per Response: 60 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,100.
