    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: 120 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 60.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 2 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security 
(``DHS'') are required to determine whether nonprofit institutions 
established for scientific or educational purposes are entitled to 
duty-free entry under the Florence Agreement of scientific instruments

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, DHS 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,
