INTERNATIONAL TRADE
COMMISSION
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
United States International
Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice of proposed collection;
comment request.
AGENCY:

The proposed information
collection is a 3-year extension,
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13) (the
‘‘Act’’), of the current generic survey
clearance previously approved by the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’). The clearance is used by the
U.S. International Trade Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) to issue information
collections (specifically, producer,
importer, purchaser, and foreign
producer questionnaires and certain
institution notices) for a series of import
injury investigations that are required
by the Tariff Act of 1930 and the Trade
Act of 1974. The current generic survey
clearance is assigned OMB control No.
3117–0016; it will expire on June 30,
2014. Comments concerning the
proposed information collections are
requested in accordance with section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Act; such comments
are described in greater detail in the
section of this notice entitled
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
DATES: To be assured of consideration,
written comments should be received
no later than 60 days after publication
of this notice in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Signed comments should be
submitted to Lisa Barton, Acting
Secretary, U.S. International Trade
Commission, 500 E St. SW.,
Washington, DC 20436.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Copies of the proposed collection of
information and supporting
documentation may be obtained from
Jennifer Brinckhaus (USITC, tel. no.
202–205–3188). Hearing-impaired
persons can obtain information on this
matter by contacting the Commission’s
TDD terminal on 202–205–1810.
Persons with mobility impairments who

will need special assistance in gaining
access to the Commission should
contact the Office of the Secretary at
202–205–2000. General information
concerning the Commission may also be
obtained by accessing its internet server
(http://www.usitc.gov).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Comments
Comments are solicited as to (1)
whether the proposed information
collection is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed
information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) minimization of the
burden of the proposed information
collection on those who are to respond
(including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses).
Summary of the Proposed Information
Collections
(1) Need for the Proposed Information
Collections
The information requested in
questionnaires and five-year sunset
review institution notices issued under
the generic survey clearance is utilized
by the Commission in the following
statutory investigations: Antidumping
duty, countervailing duty, escape
clause, North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) safeguard, market
disruption, and interference with
programs of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA). The Commission’s
generic survey clearance to issue
questionnaires will not apply to
repetitive questionnaires such as those
issued on a quarterly or annual basis or
to other investigations and research
studies conducted under section 332 of
the Trade Act of 1974. The information
provided by firms in response to the
questionnaires provides the basis for the
Commission’s determinations in the
above-cited statutory investigations. The
submitted data are consolidated by
Commission staff and provided to the
Commission in the form of a staff report.
In addition, in the majority of its
investigations, the Commission releases
completed questionnaires returned by
industry participants to representatives
of parties to its investigations under the
terms of an administrative protective

E:\FR\FM\12FEN1.SGM

12FEN1

8486

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 29 / Wednesday, February 12, 2014 / Notices

order, the terms of which safeguard the
confidentiality of any business
proprietary or business confidential
information. Representatives of
interested parties also receive a
confidential version of the staff report
under the administrative protective
order. Subsequent party submissions to
the Commission during the investigative
process are based, in large part, upon
their review of the information
collected. Included in the proposed
generic clearance are the institution
notices for the five-year sunset reviews
of antidumping and countervailing duty
orders and suspended investigations.
Responses to the institution notices will
be evaluated by the Commission and
form much of the record for its
determinations to conduct either
expedited or full five-year sunset
reviews of existing antidumping and
countervailing duty orders.
(2) Information Collection Plan
Questionnaires for specific
investigations are sent to all identified
domestic producers manufacturing the
product(s) in question. Importer and
purchaser questionnaires are also sent to
all substantial importers/purchasers of
the product(s). Finally, all foreign
manufacturers of the product(s) in
question that are represented by counsel
are sent questionnaires, and, in
addition, the Commission attempts to
contact any other foreign manufacturers,
especially if they export the product(s)
in question to the United States. Firms
receiving questionnaires include
businesses, farms, and/or other forprofit institutions; responses by
domestic firms are mandatory. The
institution notices for the five-year
sunset reviews are published in the
Federal Register and solicit comment
from interested parties (i.e., U.S.
producers within the industry in
question as well as labor unions or
representative groups of workers, U.S.
importers and foreign exporters, and
involved foreign country governments).

(3) Description of the Information To Be
Collected
Although the content of each
questionnaire will differ based on the
needs of a particular investigation,
questionnaires are based on longestablished, generic formats. Producer
questionnaires generally consist of the
following four parts: (part I) General
questions relating to the organization
and activities of the firm; (part II) data
on capacity, production, inventories,
employment, and the quantity and value
of the firm’s shipments and purchases
from various sources; (part III) financial
data, including income-and-loss data on
the product in question, data on asset
valuation, research and development
expenses, and capital expenditures; and
(part IV) pricing and market factors.
(Questionnaires may, on occasion, also
contain part V, an abbreviated version of
the above-listed parts, used for gathering
data on additional product categories.)
Importer questionnaires generally
consist of three parts: (part I) General
questions relating to the organization
and activities of the firm; (part II) data
on the firm’s imports and the shipment
and inventories of its imports; and (part
III) pricing and market factors similar to
that requested in the producer
questionnaire. Purchaser questionnaires
generally consist of five parts: (part I)
General questions relating to the
organization and activities of the firm;
(part II) data concerning the purchases
of the product by the firm; (part III)
market characteristics and purchasing
practices; (part IV) comparisons
between imported and U.S.-produced
product; and (part V) actual purchase
prices for specific types of domestic and
subject imported products and the
names of the firm’s vendors. Foreign
producer questionnaires generally
consist of (part I) general questions
relating to the organization and
activities of the firm; (part II) data
concerning the firm’s manufacturing
operations; and may include (part III)
market factors. The notices of institution
for the five-year sunset reviews include
11 specific requests for information that
firms are to provide if their response is
to be considered by the Commission.

(4) Estimated Burden of the Proposed
Information Collection
The Commission estimates that
information collections issued under the
requested generic clearance will impose
an average annual burden of 173,094
burden hours on 4,929 respondents (i.e.,
recipients that provide a response to the
Commission’s questionnaires or the
notices of institution of five-year sunset
reviews). Table 1 lists the projected
annual burden for each type of
information collection for the July
2014–June 2017 period.
(5) Minimization of Burden
The Commission periodically reviews
its investigative processes, including
data collection, to reduce the
information burden. Questionnaires
clearly state that estimates are
acceptable for certain items. They are
designed in part with check-in type
formats to simplify the response. The
reporting burden for smaller firms is
reduced in that the sections of the
questionnaire that are applicable to their
operations are typically more limited.
Requests by parties to expand the data
collection or add items to the
questionnaire for specific investigations
may not be accepted if the Commission
believes such requests will increase the
response burden while not substantially
adding to the investigative record.
Completed questionnaires have
traditionally been returned to the
Commission in paper form, however the
Commission is promoting options for
electronic submission. For example, the
Commission provides the
questionnaires on the Commission’s
Web site in a fillable Word format and
has created a secure drop box which
questionnaire respondents can use to
securely upload completed
questionnaires. The information
provided in response to its notices of
institution for the five-year sunset
reviews is typically submitted in
document form directly to the Office of
the Secretary although it may be
submitted to the Commission’s
Electronic Data Information System
(EDIS) and Electronic Docket.
