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
United States International
Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

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 3year 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,
SUMMARY:

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,
nathanael.comly@usitc.gov; 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-withUSDA-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.
