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: U.S. Government Trade Event Information Request.
    Agency Form Number: ITA-4136P.
    OMB Number: 0625-xxxx.
    Type of Request: Regular Submission.
    Burden: 50 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 1 hour.
    Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration's Advocacy 
Center marshals federal resources to assist U.S. firms competing for 
foreign government procurements worldwide. The Advocacy Center is under 
the umbrella of the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC), 
which is chaired by the Secretary of Commerce and includes 19 federal 
agencies involved in export promotion. The mission of the Advocacy 
Center is to promote U.S. exports and create U.S. jobs and coordinate 
U. S. Government (USG) advocacy among the TPCC. The purpose of the 
questionnaire is to collect the necessary information to make an 
evaluation as to whether a firm qualifies for senior-level USG support, 
in the form of attendance at an event including witnessing a commercial 
agreement signing. The event could be a company sponsored activity or a 
foreign or USG sponsored event to highlight a commercial trade success 
for more than one firm. Without this information we will be unable to 
determine if a U.S. firm is eligible for USG support for the firm's 
role in the event.
    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.
    Copies of the above information collection can be obtained by
