Instructions for Submission under USITC Import Injury Investigation Clearance.
1.

Consult with the USITC Paperwork Clearance Officer to confirm that your survey meets the conditions for
submission under this clearance.

2.

If this collection or its subsequent analysis will employ statistical methods, complete Part B of the Supporting
Statement for the Form 83-I.

3.

Complete the cover sheet electronically and then print an sign it. As you enter data (or amend existing data) in
columns 1 (number of responses), 2 (hours per response), and 3 (cost per hour), the form will automatically
calculate the total burden hours, cost per response, and appropriate totals/averages. If you have no producer
questionnaires, no importer questionnaires, no purchaser questionnaires, or no foreign producer questionnaires,
please delete the hours per response value associated with the questionnaire(s) that you have no responses for. In
other words, if you have no foreign producer questionnaires, delete the “20" in the hours per response column.
The USITC Paperwork Clearance Officer will fill in the line marked “Cumulative Burden Hours under Program
Clearance.” Note: OMB will call the person listed as the Agency Contact to ask any questions about the survey.

4.

Give the cover sheet, the answers to Part B (if appropriate), a copy of the survey, and any other helpful
information to the USITC Paperwork Clearance Officer, who will review the materials, sign the cover sheet, and
send the package to OIRA. You will be notified when the survey is approved under OMB Control Number 31170016. Do not conduct the survey until you receive this approval.
