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 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).
    Bureau: International Trade Administration.
    Title: Request for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments or 
Apparatus.
    Agency Form Number: ITA-338P.
    OMB Number: 0625-0037.
    Type of Request: Extension-Regular Submission.
    Burden: 100 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 50.

    Needs and Uses: The Departments of Commerce and Treasury are 
required to determine whether nonprofit institutions established for 
scientific or educational purposes are entitled to duty-free entry 
under the Florence Agreement of certain scientific instruments they 
import. Form ITA-338P enables (1) Treasury to determine whether the 
statutory eligibility requirements for the institution and the 
instrument are fulfilled, and (2) Commerce to make a comparison and 
finding as to the scientific equivalency of comparable instruments 
being manufactured in the United States. Without the collection of the 
information, Treasury and Commerce would not have the necessary 
information to carry out the responsibilities of determining 
eligibility for duty-free entry assigned by law.
    Affected Public: State or local governments; Federal agencies; 
nonprofit institutions.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit,
