Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Distribution of Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset to
Affected Domestic Producers.
OMB Number: 1651-0086.
Form Number: CBP Form 7401.
Abstract: This collection of information is used by CBP to make
distributions of funds pursuant to the Continued Dumping and Subsidy
Offset Act of 2000 (CDSOA). 19 U.S.C. 1675c (repealed by the Deficit
Reduction Act of 2005, Public Law 109-171, Sec. 7601 (Feb. 8, 2006)).
This Act prescribes the administrative procedures 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 on certain qualifying expenditures that they incur
after the issuance of the order or finding up to the effective date of
the CDSOA's repeal, October 1, 2007. 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.
A notice is published in the Federal Register in June of each year
in order to inform claimants that they can make claims under the CDSOA.
In order to make a claim under the CDSOA, CBP Form 7401 may be used.
This form is accessible at and can be submitted electronically through
https://www.pay.gov/paygov/forms/formInstance.html?agencyFormId=8776895.
Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the
expiration date and to revise the burden hours as a result of updated
estimates of the number of CDSOA claims prepared on an annual basis.
There are no changes to the information collected.
Type of Review: Extension (with a change to the burden hours).
Affected Public: Businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,200.
