DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
    Agency: International Trade Administration.
    Title: Steel Import License.
    OMB Control Number: 0625-0245.
    Form Number(s): ITA-4141P.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 3,500.
    Average Hours per Response: 0.17 hour/response (10 minutes).
    Burden Hours: 92,878.
    Needs and Uses: In order to monitor steel imports in real-time and 
to provide the public with real-time data, the Department of Commerce 
(DOC) must collect and provide timely aggregated summaries about these 
imports. The Steel Import License proposed by the International Trade 
Administration of the DOC is the tool used to collect the necessary 
information. The Census Bureau currently collects import data and 
disseminates aggregate information about steel imports. However, the 
time required to collect, process, and disseminate this information 
through Census can take up to 70 days after importation of the product, 
giving interested parties and the public far less time to respond to 
injurious sales.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
