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: Advocacy Quality Assurance Survey.
    Agency Form Number: ITA-XXXX.
    OMB Number: 0625-XXXX.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden: 37.92 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 227.5.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration's U.S. 
Commercial Service is mandated by Congress to help U.S. businesses, 
particularly small and medium-sized companies, export their products 
and services to global markets. As part of its mission, the U.S. 
Commercial Service uses ``Quality Assurance Surveys'' to collect 
feedback from the U.S. business clients it serves. These surveys ask 
the client to evaluate the U.S. Commercial Service on its customer 
service provision. Results from the surveys are used to make 
improvements to the agency's business processes in order to provide 
better and more effective export assistance to U.S. companies. The 
purpose of the attached survey is to collect feedback from U.S. 
businesses that receive advocacy services from the U.S. Commercial 
Service. In providing these services, the U.S. Commercial Service 
advocates on behalf of a U.S. company that is bidding on a project or 
government contract, trying to recover payment or goods, or facing a 
barrier to market entry.
    Affected Public: U.S. companies who receive advocacy services from 
USFCS international posts.
    Frequency: Upon completion of receipt of advocacy services (on 
occasion).
    Respondents Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-7340.
