This emergency collection is needed as part of the publication of an interim final rule that amends the National Security Industrial Base Regulations (15 CFR 700-705) to add two new supplements to part 705 which set forth the requirements and process for how parties in the United States may submit requests for exclusions from the remedies instituted by the President (“exclusion requests”) regarding the effects of imported articles on national security. The new supplements also set forth the requirements and process for how parties in the United States may submit objections to the granting of exclusion requests.
1. The collection of information is needed prior to the expiration of the time period normally associated with a routine submission for review under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act in view of the President’s proclamations issued on March 8, 2018, for the Presidential Proclamation on Adjusting Imports of Steel into the United States, https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-adjusting-imports-steel-united-states/, and for the Presidential Proclamation on Adjusting Imports of Aluminum into the United States, https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-proclamation-adjusting-imports-aluminum-united-states/. 2. The collection of information is essential to the mission of the Department, in particular to the adjudication exclusion requests and objections to exclusions requests. 3. The use of normal clearance procedures would prevent the collection of information exclusion requests and objections to exclusion requests, for national security purposes, as discussed under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 as amended and the Presidential Proclamations issued on March 8, 2018. 4. As the President has decided decide to adjust imports and allow exclusion requests, BIS will need OMB’s clearances to collect the information that would be required for parties to request exclusions. This will allow BIS to publish a Federal Register notice informing the public how to submit exclusion requests as soon as possible, allowing for earlier decisions on the requests giving parties certainty on the effect of the remedies on their business.
