Furthermore, should Treasury request that OMB extend this clearance, the submission should include (1) a complete listing of the data elements required by NAFTA, distinguishing between those that are mandatory and optional; (2) a plan to implement the International Trade Date System that incorporates the results and evaluation of NATAP, as well as identifies the agencies that will participate, their data needs, and a central collection agency to be designated by OMB under 44 USC 3509; and (3) the projected reduction in information collection burden resulting from the automation of commercial data.
