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.
    OMB Control Number: 0625-0245.
    Form Number(s): ITA-4141P.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Burden Hours: 100,000.
    Number of Respondents: 3,500.
    Average Hours per Response: 10 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: In order to monitor steel imports in real-time and 
to provide the public with real-time data, the Department of Commerce 
(DOC) must collect and provide timely aggregated summaries about these 
imports. The Steel Import License proposed by the Import Administration 
of the DOC is the tool used to collect the necessary information. The 
Census Bureau currently collects import data and disseminates aggregate 
information about steel imports. However, the time required to collect, 
process, and disseminate this information through Census 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.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Wendy Liberante, (202) 395-3647.
