SUMMARY: In accordance with the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Commission has submitted a proposal for 
the collection of information to OMB for approval. The proposed 
information collection is an user survey that solicits feedback on the 
investigative procedures used by the Commission in its import injury 
investigations. Comments concerning the proposed user survey are 
requested in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 
OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.

DATES: Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of the date 
this notice appears in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, 
Room 10202, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
