Upon request, BIS initiates
investigations to determine the efforts of imports of certain
commodities on the national security and makes the findings known
to the President for possible adjustments to imports through
tariffs. The findings are also made publicly available and are
reported to Congress. The purpose of this collection is to account
for the public burden associated with submitting such a request
from any interested party, including other government departments
or by the Secretary of Commerce.
US Code:

The total number of hours
requested has increased to 12,000 hours due to the broad scope of
the industry sector being investigated. The number of surveys to be
distributed will reach approximately 800 companies representing the
entire sector. This larger sample size will provide a more reliable
data set from which to generate industry trends for analysis and
will encompass small, medium and large sized companies. Similarly,
the complexity of the survey instrument utilized will increase to
ensure coverage of the multiple critical subsectors which support
the industry sector effected by imports.
