SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CBP invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies to comment on proposed and/or continuing information 
collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L.

accuracy of the burden estimates and ways to minimize the burden

other forms of information technology, as well as other relevant 
aspects of the information collection. The comments that are submitted 
will be summarized and included in the CBP request for Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter 
of public record. In this document CBP is soliciting comments 
concerning the following information collection:
    Title: Distribution of Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset to 
Affected Domestic Producers (CDSOA).
    OMB Number: 1651-0086.
    Form Number: 7401.
    Abstract: This collection of information is required to implement 
the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (CDSOA). This Act 
prescribes the administrative procedures, including the time and 
manner, under which antidumping and countervailing duties assessed on 
imported products are distributed to affected domestic producers that 
petitioned for or supported the issuance of the order under which the 
duties were assessed. The amount of any distribution afforded to these 
domestic producers is based upon certain qualifying expenditures that 
they incur after the issuance of the order or finding. This 
distribution is known as the continued dumping and subsidy offset. The 
claims process for the CDSOA program is provided for in 19 CFR 159.61 
and 159.63.
    CBP Form 7401 captures the information from claimants that CBP 
needs to determine how the distributions are made. This form is 
published in the Federal Register in June of each year in order to 
inform claimants that they can make claims under the CDSOA program and 
also provide them with a copy of the form. The form can also be 
submitted electronically through http://www.pay.gov.
    In order to expedite the distribution process, CBP proposes to add 
two data elements to both the paper form and the electronic form, 
including: ``Start Date of Qualifying Expenditures'' and ``End Date of 
Qualifying Expenditures''.
    Current Actions: This submission is being submitted to extend the 
expiration date with a revision to Form 7401 and to the on-line 
application.
    Type of Review: Revision and extension of an existing information 
collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,000.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 1 hour.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,000.

    Dated: March 29, 2010.

Agency Clearance Officer, U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
