DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    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 Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-
13.
    Bureau: International Trade Administration (ITA).
    Title: NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB) Bidders List 
Application .
    Agency Form Number: ITA 4023P.
    OMB Number: 0625-0055.
    Type of Request: Regular Submission.
    Burden: 60 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 60.

    Needs and Uses: Opportunities for contracts under NATO Security 
Investment Program (NSIP) are only open to firms of member NATO 
countries. NSIP procedures for international competitive bidding (AC/4-
D/2261) require that each NATO country certify that their respective 
firms are eligible to bid such contracts. This is done through the 
issuance of a ``Declaration of Eligibility''. The U.S. Department of 
Commerce/ITA is the executive agency responsible for certifying U.S. 
firms. ITA-4023P is the application form used by USDOC/ITA to collect 
information needed to ascertain the eligibility of a US firm. ITA 
reviews the application for completeness and accuracy and determines a 
company's eligibility based on its financial viability, technical 
capability, and security clearances with the Department of Defense.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit, 
voluntary.
