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.

[[Page 37446]]

    Bureau: International Trade Administration.
    Title: NATO International Competitive Bidding (ICB) Bidders List 
Application.
    Agency Form Number: ITA-4023P.
    OMB Number: 0625-0055.
    Type of Request: Regular Submission.
    Estimated Burden: 40 hours.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 40.
    Est. Avg. Hours Per Response: 1 hour.
    Needs and Uses: Opportunities to bid for contracts under the NATO 
Security Investment Program (NSIP) are only open to firms of member 
NATO countries. NSIP procedures for international competitive bidding 
(AC/4-D/2261) require that each NATO country certify that their 
respective firms are eligible to bid such contracts. This is done 
through the issuance of a ``Declaration of Eligibility.'' The U.S. 
Department of Commerce/ITA is the executive agency responsible for 
certifying U.S. firms. ITA-4023P is the application form used by USDOC/
ITA to collect information needed to ascertain the eligibility of a 
U.S. firm. ITA reviews the application for completeness and accuracy 
and determines a company's eligibility based on its financial 
viability, technical capability, and security clearances with the 
Department of Defense.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits, 
voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-7340.
