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.
    Title: Non-Tariff Barriers Survey.
    Agency Form Number: N/A.
    OMB Number: N/A.
    Type of Request: Regular Submission.
    Burden: 33 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration's Office of 
Environmental Technologies Industries (ETI) office is the principal 
resource and key contact point within the U.S. Department of Commerce 
for American environmental technology companies. ETI's goal is to 
facilitate and increase exports of environmental technologies, goods 
and services by providing support and guidance to U.S. exporters. One 
aspect of increasing exports is to reduce trade barriers and non-tariff 
measures. ETI works closely with the Office of the U.S. Trade 
Representative on trade negotiations and trade liberalization 
initiatives. The information collected will be used to evaluate the 
Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) trade liberalization with the 
World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations by ETI's office. The type 
of information asked on the survey includes such items as (1) name of 
firm; (2) country of interest; and (3) a list of non-tariff barriers 
for environmental products in the respondents sales territory. This 
information will allow ETI to maintain a current, up-to-date list of 
non-tariff measures that create trade barriers for U.S. exports of 
environmental goods and services.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-7340.

days of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
