SUMMARY: The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC or Commission) 
has submitted a proposed information collection package to the Office

the Federal Register a notice of proposed information collection and

satisfaction. The one-page survey will be placed inside the cover of 
certain public reports issued annually or on occasion by the Commission

including public reports that meet agency requirements for the USITC 
Research Program.
