In accordance with the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Commission has submitted a proposal for the collection of information to OMB for approval. The proposed information collection is a 3-year extension of the current ``generic clearance'' (approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control No. 3117-0016) under which the Commission can issue information collections (specifically, producer, importer, purchaser, and foreign producer questionnaires and certain institution notices) for the following types of import injury investigations: Antidumping, countervailing duty, escape clause, market disruption, NAFTA safeguard, and ``interference with programs of the USDA.'' Any comments submitted to OMB on the proposed information collection should be specific, indicating which part of the questionnaires or study plan are objectionable, describing the issue in detail, and including specific revisions or language changes.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Agency Proposal for 
the Collection of Information Submitted to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, the Commission has submitted a proposal for the collection 
of information to OMB for approval. The proposed information collection 
is a 3-year extension of the current ``generic clearance'' (approved by 
the Office of Management and Budget under control No. 3117-0016) under 
which the Commission can issue information collections (specifically, 
producer, importer, purchaser, and foreign producer questionnaires and 
certain institution notices) for the following types of import injury 
investigations: Antidumping, countervailing duty, escape clause, market 
disruption, NAFTA safeguard, and ``interference with programs of the 
USDA.'' Any comments submitted to OMB on the proposed information 
collection should be specific, indicating which part of the 
questionnaires or study plan are objectionable, describing the issue in 
detail, and including specific revisions or language changes.

DATES: To be assured of consideration, comments should be submitted to 
OMB by May 25, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Comments about the proposal should be directed to the Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Wendy 
Liberante, Desk Officer for U.S. International Trade Commission. Copies 
of any comments should be provided to Jeremy Wise (U.S. International 
Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW., Washington, DC 20436).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Copies of the proposed collection of 
information and supporting documentation may be obtained from Nathanael 
Comly (USITC, [email protected]; 202-205-3174). Hearing-
impaired persons can obtain information on this matter by contacting 
the Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810. Persons with mobility 
impairments who will need special assistance in gaining access to the 
Commission should contact the Office of the Secretary at 202-205-2000. 
General information concerning the Commission may also be obtained by 
accessing its internet server (http://www.usitc.gov).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    (1) The proposed information collection consists of five forms, 
namely the Sample Producers', Sample Importers', Sample Purchasers', 
and Sample Foreign Producers' questionnaires (separate forms are 
provided for questionnaires issued for the five-year reviews), Sample 
Administrative Protective Order Application Form and Sample Notice of 
Institution for Five-Year Reviews.
    (2) The types of items contained within the sample questionnaires, 
administrative protective order application, and institution notice are 
largely determined by statute. Actual questions formulated for use in a 
specific investigation depend upon such factors as the nature of the 
industry, the relevant issues, the ability of respondents to supply the 
data, and the availability of data from secondary sources.
    (3) The information collected through questionnaires issued under 
the generic clearance for import injury investigations is consolidated 
by Commission staff and forms much of the statistical base for the 
Commission's determinations. Affirmative Commission determinations in 
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations result in the 
imposition of duties on imports entering the United States, determined 
by the Department of Commerce, which are in addition to any normal 
customs duties. If the Commission makes an affirmative determination in 
a five-year review, the existing antidumping or countervailing duty 
order remains in place. The data developed in escape-clause, market 
disruption, and interference-with-USDA-program investigations (if the 
Commission finds affirmatively) are used by the President/U.S. Trade 
Representative to determine the type of relief, if any, to be provided 
to domestic industries.
    The submissions made to the Commission of the administrative 
protective order application form forms the basis for which parties are 
granted disclosure of business proprietary information. The submissions 
made to the Commission in response to the notices of institution of 
five-year reviews form the basis for the Commission's determination as 
to whether a full or expedited review should be conducted.
    (4) Likely respondents consist of businesses (including foreign 
businesses) or farms that produce, import, or purchase products under 
investigation. Estimated total annual reporting burden for the period 
July 2017-June 2020 that will result from the collection of information 
is presented below.
