DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review: Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit 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 (ITA).
    Title: Advocacy Comment Card.
    Agency Form Number: None.
    OMB Number: 0625-0251.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden: 54 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 650.
    Average Hours Per Response: 5 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration's U.S. 
Commercial Service (USCS) 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 USCS uses ``Comment Cards'' to collect feedback from the U.S. 
business clients it serves. The surveys request the client to evaluate 
the USCS on its customer service provision. The 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 survey is to collect 
feedback from U.S. businesses that receive advocacy services from the 
USCS. In providing these services, the USCS advocates on behalf of a 
U.S. company that is bidding on a project or government contract, 
attempting to recover payment or goods, or facing a barrier to market 
entry.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents Obligation: Voluntary.
