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, Pub L. 104-13.
    Agency: International Trade Administration.
    Title: Information on Articles for Physically or Mentally 
Handicapped Persons Imported Free of Duty.
    Agency Form Number: ITA-362P.
    OMB Number: 0625-0118.
    Type of Request: Regular Submission.
    Burden: 304 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 380.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 4 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Congress, when it enacted legislation to implement 
the Nairobi Protocol to the Florence Agreement, included a provision 
for the Departments of Commerce and Treasury to collect information on 
the import of articles for the handicapped. Form ITA-362P, Information 
on Articles for Physically or Mentally Handicapped Persons Imported 
Free of Duty, is the vehicle by which statistical information is 
obtained to assess whether the duty-free treatment of articles for the 
handicapped has had a significant adverse impact on a domestic industry 
(or portion thereof) manufacturing or producing a like or directly 
competitive article. Without the collection of data, it would be almost 
impossible for a sound determination to be made and for the President 
to appropriately redress the situation.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, state, local or tribal governments, federal government, 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    OMB Desk Officer: Victoria Baecher-Wassmer, (202) 395-7340.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Linda Engelmeier, Departmental Forms Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-3272, Department of Commerce, Room 5327, 14th and 
Constitution, NW, Washington, DC 20230.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Victoria Baecher-Wassmer, OMB Desk 
Officer, Room 10202, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 
20503 within 30 days of publication of this Federal Register Notice.

    Dated: August 4, 1998.
Linda Engelmeier,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information 
Officer.
