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: Survey of Non-Tariff Trade Barriers to the U.S. 
Environmental Industry.
    OMB Control Number: 0625-0241.
    Form Number(s): ITA-4150P.

[[Page 38294]]

    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Burden Hours: 33.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Average Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The environmental technologies industry has 
consistently cited the proliferation of non-tariff barriers as a factor 
that is making increased U.S. exports in this sector more difficult. 
This factor has been cited across all subsectors of environmental 
technologies products and all global geographic regions. The collection 
of information related to the experience of U.S. exporters with regard 
to these non-tariff measures is essential to the mission of the U.S. 
Department of Commerce Office of Energy and Environmental Industries. 
It allows accurate market analysis as well as support to industry in 
its export efforts and to the U.S. government in its trade negotiation 
efforts. The title of the information collection has been changed to 
reflect the title on the actual survey form.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit organizations.
    Frequency: Constant availability via web or periodically via staff 
personal distribution.
    Respondent's Obligation: 10 minutes per response.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Jennifer Jessup, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0336, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 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 Wendy Liberante, OMB Desk Officer, Fax number (202) 395-5167 or via 
the Internet at [email protected].
