Short Statement: In its Strategic Plan (available on the agency website at http://www.usitc.gov) the Commission set itself the goal of obtaining feedback on the effectiveness of its exclusion orders from complainants that obtained such orders under 19 U.S.C. §1337. As the Commission is authorized to issue both general and limited exclusion orders, two survey forms are proposed, one for each type of relief. These surveys will allow the Commission to assess the effectiveness of statutory relief offered by the Act as well as allow the Commission to develop and implement proposals to bolster enforcement. The proposed survey asks whether and to what extent Commission exclusion orders are effective in preventing the importation of covered goods. If imports have continued, the proposed survey asks for an estimate of the magnitude and effect on the U.S. market of such imports. The proposed survey also requests information regarding the cost, if any, to complainants of policing the Commission’s exclusion orders and the level of satisfaction among complainants with the efforts of U.S. Customs and Border Protection in enforcing the Commission’s exclusion orders. It will be sent to complainants that obtained an exclusion order that currently remains in effect, from the Commission following an investigation under Section 337. The Commission estimates that the proposed survey will take less than 1 response hour for each of the approximately 79 firms that may respond.
