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 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: International Trade Administration (ITA).
    Title: Steel Import License.
    Form Number: ITA-4141P.
    OMB Control Number: 0625-0245.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 100,000.
    Number of Respondents: 3,500.
    Average Hours per Response: 10 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: In order to effectively monitor steel imports, the 
Department of Commerce must collect and provide timely aggregated 
summaries about these imports. The Steel Import License, proposed by 
the ITA/Import Administration, is the tool used to collect the 
necessary information. The Census Bureau currently collects steel 
import data and disseminates aggregate information, however, this 
process can take up to 90 days after importation of the product, giving 
interested parties and the public far less time to respond to injurious 
sales. The license process provides real-time information to the public 
which allows more time to address injurious sales.
    Affected Public: Business and other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, Fax number (202) 395-7285 or via 
the Internet at [email protected].

    Dated: June 24, 2008.
