    The Department of Commerce (DOC) has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for 
collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork

questionnaire that is prepared and signed by an organizer to begin the 
certification process. It asks the fair organizer to provide details as

permit, and corporate backers, and countries participating. To apply 
for the U.S. Department of Commerce sponsorship, the fair organizer 
must have all of the components of the application in order. Then, with 
the approval, the organizer is able to bring in their products in 
accordance with Customs laws. Articles which may be brought in include, 
but are not limited to, actual exhibit booths, exhibit items, 
pamphlets, brochures, and explanatory material in reasonable quantities 
relating to the foreign exhibits at a fair, and material for use in 
constructing, installing, or maintaining foreign exhibits at a fair.
