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: Client Satisfaction Surveys.
    OMB Control Number: 0625-0217.
    Form Number(s): ITA-4107.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (Revision).
    Burden Hours: 879.
    Number of Respondents: 10,150.
    Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Expanding U.S. exports is a national priority 
essential to improving U.S. trade performance. The Department of 
Commerce's International Trade Administration including Market Access 
and Compliance (MAC) and the U.S. Commercial Service (CS) are key U.S. 
government agencies responsible for assisting U.S. companies to export 
and/or conduct business overseas. The CS provides export promotion 
services such as market research, client counseling and trade missions. 
MACs Trade Agreements Compliance (TAC) Center assists clients with 
resolving market access barriers.
    To accomplish its mission effectively and efficiently ITA requires 
ongoing client feedback on its programs. The feedback is used to 
improve its services to better meet clients' needs and to ensure that 
clients are provided with effective and appropriate export services.
    Currently, the clients have the opportunity to provide feedback via 
an electronic link to a comment card at the completion of each pay-for-
use service, trade promotion event and advocacy case. The CS would also 
like to provide clients with the opportunity to submit feedback at any 
time by clicking on a comment card link at the bottom of its staffs' e-
mail messages (taglines).
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
