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.
    Title: Format for Petition Requesting Relief Under U.S. Antidumping 
Duty Law.
    Agency Form Number: ITA-357P.
    OMB Number: 0625-0105.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement.
    Burden: 1,520 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 38.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 40 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration, Import 
Administration's, Antidumping/Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Enforcement, 
implements the U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty law. Import 
Administration investigates allegations of unfair trade practices by 
foreign governments and producers and, in conjunction with the U.S. 
International Trade Commission, can impose duties on the product in 
question to offset the unfair practices. Form ITA-357P--Format for 
Petition Requesting Relief Under the U.S. Antidumping Duty Law--is 
designed for U.S. companies or industries that are unfamiliar with the 
antidumping law and the petition process. The Form is designed for 
potential petitioners that believe that an industry in the United 
States is being injured because a foreign competitor is selling a 
product in the United States at less than fair value. Since a variety 
of detailed information is required under the law before initiation of 
an antidumping duty investigation, the Form is designed to extract such 
information in the least burdensome manner possible. Form ITA-357P is 
sent by request to potential U.S. petitioners.
    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.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-7340.
