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.
    Title: Request for Duty-Free Entry of Scientific Instruments or 
Apparatus.
    OMB Control Number: 0625-0037.
    Form Number(s): ITA-338P.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current 
information collection).
    Burden Hours: 130.
    Number of Respondents: 65
    Average Hours per Response: 2.
    Needs and Uses: The Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security 
(``DHS'') are required to determine whether non-profit institutions 
established for scientific or educational purposes are entitled to 
duty-free entry for scientific instruments that the institutions import 
under the Florence Agreement. Form ITA-338P enables: (1) DHS to 
determine whether the statutory eligibility requirements for the 
institution and the instrument are fulfilled, and
    (2) Commerce to make a comparison and finding as to the scientific 
equivalency of comparable instruments being manufactured in the United 
States. Without the collection of the information, DHS and Commerce 
would be unable to carry out the responsibilities assigned by law.
    Affected Public: Federal, state or local government; not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
