INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION


Proposed Agency Information Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: United States International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection and request for 
comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

DATES: Effective Date: May 19, 2006.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the U.S. 
International Trade Commission intends to seek approval from the Office 
of Management and Budget for a three-year extension of the currently 
approved DataWeb user registration form (OMB No.: 3117-0190) in 
connection with the ITC DataWeb. The user registration form is required 
to accurately analyze usage and data reports generated by user sectors 
and to save user product and country lists for user reference during 
future logins.
    Comments concerning the proposed information collection are 
requested in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d).

DATES: To be assured of consideration, written comments must be 
received not later than 60 days after publication of this notice.

ADDRESSES: Signed comments should be submitted to Marilyn Abbott, 
Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW., 
Washington, DC 20436. All comments should be specific, indicating which 
part of the form is objectionable, describing the concern in detail, 
and including specific suggested revisions or language changes.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of the proposed form is 
available on the internet at http://dataweb.usitc.gov/scripts/user_set.asp under ``Create New Account''. A copy of the draft Supporting 
Statement to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget may be 
obtained from Peg MacKnight, Office of Operations, U.S. International 
Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20436 (telephone 
no. 202-205-343; e-mail [email protected]).

Request for Comments

    Comments are solicited as to (1) whether the proposed information 
collection is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected; and (4) minimization of the burden 
of the proposed information collection on those who are to respond 
(including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses).

Summary of the Proposed Information Collection

    The forms are for use by the Commission in connection with the ITC 
DataWeb. The ITC DataWeb provides on-line, rapid and customized 
retrieval of U.S. trade and tariff data and has been an Internet tool 
primarily for government users. The user registration forms are 
required to accurately track usage, data reports generated, and costs 
by user sectors and to save user product and country lists for user 
reference during future logins. The forms appear on the ITC DataWeb 
internet site (http://dataweb.usitc.gov) and need to be filled out only 
once.

Summary of Proposal

    (1) Number of forms submitted: One.
