OMB Control Number: XXXX-XXXX






Expiration Date: June 30, 2022
Section 232 Investigation into Imports of Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) Permanent Magnets





























































SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT
The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE), is conducting a survey of the U.S. NdFeB Permanent Magnet industry. The survey results will be used to support an ongoing investigation on the effect of imports of Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) Permanent Magnets on the U.S. national security initiated under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended.

The principal goal of this survey is to assist the U.S. Department of Commerce in determining whether NdFeB Permanent Magnet imports are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security. Information collected will include: organization and facility information, production, feedstock and resale purchases, sales, employment, capital expenditures, research and development, intellectual property, national defense & critical infrastructure, and competition/challenges. The resulting data will provide the U.S. Department of Commerce detailed NdFeB Permanent Magnet industry information that is otherwise not publicly available and needed to effectively conduct this Section 232 investigation.
RESPONSE TO THIS SURVEY IS REQUIRED BY LAW
A response to this survey is required by law (50 U.S.C. Sec. 4555). Failure to respond can result in a maximum fine of $10,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both. Information furnished herewith is deemed confidential and will not be published or disclosed except in accordance with Section 705 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. Sec. 4555). Section 705 prohibits the publication or disclosure of this information unless the President determines that its withholding is contrary to the national defense. Information will not be shared with any non-government entity, other than in aggregate form. The information will be protected pursuant to the appropriate exemptions from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), should it be the subject of a FOIA request.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
BURDEN ESTIMATE AND REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 12 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information to BIS Information Collection Officer, Room 6883, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230, and to the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (OMB Control No. xxxx-xxxx), Washington, D.C. 20503.

4a. Sourcing/Feedstock Purchases
Did your organization purchase feedstocks which were used to produce NdFeB Permanent Magnets or related products between 2017-2021 (and 2022-2026 expected)? If yes, answer the following questions below for each of your organization's suppliers. If no, please proceed to the next section. If your organization has more than ten suppliers, rank them by volume of purchases over the 2017-2026 period (greatest to least). For 2022-2026, limit your responses to signed contracts and memorandums of understanding (MOUs). Do not include speculative/desired feedstock purchases. Note, do not include any purchases which were intended for resale (i.e. purchases which do not include value-add activities).
