A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor an information collection subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
unless the information collection has a currently valid OMB Control Number. The approved OMB Control Number for this information collection
is 06XX-XXXX (expires MM/DD/YYYY). Without this approval, we could not conduct this information collection. Public reporting for this
information collection is estimated to be approximately 75 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the information collection. All responses to
this information collection are voluntary. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this information collection,
including suggestions for reducing this burden to ITA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer at PRA@trade.gov.
