SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Request for Comments

    Comments are solicited as to (1) whether the proposed information 
collection is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; (3) the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected; and (4) minimization of the burden 
of the proposed information collection on those who are to respond.

Summary of the Proposed Information Collection

    In its Strategic Plan (available on the agency's World Wide Web 
site at http://www.usitc.gov) the Commission set itself the goal of 
obtaining feedback on the effectiveness of its exclusion orders from 
complainants who obtained such orders under 19 U.S.C. 1337. The survey 
asks each firm responding to the survey to: (i) Evaluate whether the 
remedial exclusion order has prevented the importation of items covered 
by the order, (ii) if not, estimate what are the absolute value and 
effect in the United States market of such imports and (iii) indicate 
what experience it has had in policing the exclusion order, 
particularly with respect to any investigatory efforts and any 
interactions with the U.S. Customs Service.
    Responses to the survey are voluntary. The Commission estimates 
that the survey will require less than 1 hour to complete.

    By order of the Commission.

    Dated: March 20, 2000.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
