On March 26, 2025, the President
issued Proclamation 10908 (90 FR 14705), “Adjusting Imports of
Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States,”
(Proclamation 10908) finding that imports of automobiles and
certain automobile parts continue to threaten to impair the
national security of the United States and imposing specified
tariffs to adjust imports of automobiles and certain automobile
parts so that such imports will not threaten to impair national
security pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962
(“Section 232”). Section 232 authorizes the President to adjust the
imports of an article and its derivatives that are being imported
into the United States in such quantities or under such
circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the
United States so that such imports will not threaten to impair
national security. Proclamation 10908 imposed a 25 percent tariff
on certain imports of automobiles, effective April 3, 2025, and
certain imports of automobile parts, effective May 3, 2025. On
April 29, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10925 (90 FR
18899), which allowed for automobile manufactures assembling
automobiles in the United States to apply for an import adjustment
offset amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under
Proclamation 10908 on imports of automobile parts. Proclamation
10925 required that within 30 days of the date of the order the
Secretary of the Department of Commerce (Commerce) shall establish
a process by which automobile manufacturers could submit
documentation supporting eligibility and a claim for an import
adjustment offset amount. A prepared notice announces procedures
for administration of the import adjustment offset amount program,
including application, documentation, and certification
requirements, eligibility conditions, and coordination with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP). On June 13, 2025, the
International Trade Administration published a Notice titled
“Procedures To Administer Import Adjustment Offset Amounts for
Certain Imports of Automobile Parts Under Proclamation 10908, as
Amended” (90 FR 25027), which established procedures for automobile
manufacturers to apply for and use the import adjustment offset
amount established by Presidential Proclamation 10925 of April 29,
2025 (90 FR 18899), “Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Automobiles
and Automobile Parts Into the United States” (Proclamation 10925)
to incentivize domestic automobile production and reduce American
reliance on imports of foreign automobiles and their parts.
Proclamation 10984 of October 17, 2025, “Adjusting Imports of
Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle
Parts, and Buses Into the United States,” (Proclamation 10984) took
similar action to address the threat imports of Medium- and
Heavy-Duty Vehicles (MHDV) and Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts
(MHDVPs) pose to the national security of the United States; that
Proclamation also amended the offset rules established by
Proclamation 10925. This notice establishes procedures for
submission and review of such documentation by the Department of
Commerce (Department), and the establishment of this notice has
resulted in this new IC request.
During the
shutdown/furlough, the Agency was unable to timely submit a 60-day
Federal Register notice for an OMB control number which expires in
December 2025 because actions to develop or submit the notice were
not deemed excepted/exempted activities. Additionally, prior to the
shutdown there were discussions taking place with key stakeholders
about the feasibility of merging 0625-0283 and 0625-0284 into one
collection to avoid the duplication of efforts and to address an
undetermined number of requests for emergency clearances due to
additional information collections resulting from Presidential
Proclamations related to Section 232.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
