In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, OMB approves this information collectio until
March 31, 1989. When resubmitting this information collection, ITA
must provide greater justification of the need for the information
collected. Specifically, ITA should detail the percentage of
petitions that are dismissed for lack of information, the
information ITA uses to make the required "net subsidy"
calculation, and the criteria on which "injury" findings are based.
Furthermore, ITA should explain why it cannot provide the general
information asked for in Question B(4). Finally, ITA should explain
whether the ITC collects any information on its own as a part of
its "injury" investigations, and also how the amendments in the
trade bill, if it is passed, affect this information
requirement.
