Submission for OMB Review: Comment Request

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance of 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: Product Characteristics--Design Check-Off List.
    Agency Form Number: ITA-426P.
    OMB Number: 0625-0035.
    Type of Request: Regular Submission.
    Burden: 1,000 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 2,000.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 30 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration (ITA) 
sponsors up to 120 overseas trade fairs each fiscal year. Trade fairs 
involve U.S. firms exhibiting their goods and services at American 
pavilions at internationally recognized events worldwide.
    The Product Characteristics-Design Check-Off List seeks from 
participating firms information on the physical

nature, power (utility) and graphic requirements of the products and 
services to be displayed, and to ensure the availability of utilities 
for active product demonstrations. This form also allows U.S. firms to 
identify special installation instructions that can be critical to the 
proper placement and hookup of their equipment and/or graphics. Without 
the timely and accurate submission of Form ITA-426P, Product 
Characteristics-Design Check-Off List, ITA would be unable to provide a 
pavilion facility that would effectively support the sales/marketing 
and presentation objectives of U.S. participants. The anticipated 
result would be diminished program productivity, then declining 
participation by U.S. firms. A second possible result would be reduced 
private sector funds and possibly the discontinuation of this type of 
U.S. international trade event program.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit, not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit, 
voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-7340.
    Copies of the above information collection can be obtained by 
calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6612, 14th & 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. E-mail: [email protected].
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, e-mail: 
[email protected] or fax (202) 395-7285, within 30 days of the 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

    Dated: May 26, 2005.

Information Officer.
