Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; SelectUSA Investment Promotion Intake Questions

    The Department of Commerce will submit the following information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and 
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of 
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the 
Federal Register on April 28, 2023, during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
    Agency: International Trade Administration, Commerce.
    Title: Investment Promotion Client Intake Questions.
    OMB Control Number: 0625-XXXX.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission. This is a new information 
collection.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Average Hours per Response: 0.5 hours.
    Burden Hours: 100 hours.
    Needs and Uses: SelectUSA, within the International Trade 
Administration, provides programs and services that focus on 
facilitating job-creating business investment into the United States 
and raising awareness of the critical role that economic development 
plays in the U.S. economy. These programs include information products, 
services, and trade events to potential foreign investors into the 
United States and to U.S.-based economic development organizations. To

[[Page 42690]]

accomplish its mission effectively, SelectUSA requires detailed 
information from clients in order to provide resources and services 
that meet each specific client's needs. This information collection 
item allows ITA to solicit clients' interest for the use of ITA 
products, services, and trade events. To promote optimal use and 
effective response to client needs through ITA services and programs, 
we are requesting approval for this clearance package. Upon approval by 
OMB, ITA will use the approved information collection to collect client 
input by the use of multiple data collection methods, including Comment 
Cards (i.e. transactional-based surveys), web-enabled surveys sent via 
email, telephone interviews, automated telephone surveys, and in-person 
surveys via mobile devices/laptops/tablets at trade events/shows. The 
use of these multiple data collection methods is suggested solely to 
reduce the public burden in responding to requests for input. Without 
this information, ITA is unable to systematically determine the actual 
and relative levels of user needs for its programs and products/
services and to provide clear, actionable insights for client use. This 
information will be used for strategic planning, allocation of 
resources, and stakeholder reporting.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions; State, local, or Tribal government; and 
Federal Government.
    Frequency: As needed.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Public Law 15 U.S.C. et seq. and 15 U.S.C. 171 et 
seq.
