OMB Control Number: 0694‐0120
Expiration Date: December, 31 2020
Section 232 Investigation into Imports of Vanadium
SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT
The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE), is conducting a survey of the U.S. vanadium industry. The survey results will be
used to support an ongoing investigation on the effect of imports of vanadium products on the U.S. national security initiated under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as
amended.
The principal goal of this survey is to assist the U.S. Department of Commerce in determining whether vanadium imports are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under
such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security. Information collected will include facilities and production data, capacity utilization, customers, sales and demand data,
employment information, conditions of domestic and global competition, research and development, and other factors. The resulting data will provide the U.S. Department of Commerce
detailed vanadium industry information that is otherwise not publicly available and needed to effectively conduct this Section 232 investigation.
RESPONSE TO THIS SURVEY IS REQUIRED BY LAW
A response to this survey is required by law (50 U.S.C. Sec. 4555). Failure to respond can result in a maximum fine of $10,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both. Information furnished
herewith is deemed confidential and will not be published or disclosed except in accordance with Section 705 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. Sec. 4555). Section
705 prohibits the publication or disclosure of this information unless the President determines that its withholding is contrary to the national defense. Information will not be shared with any
non‐government entity, other than in aggregate form. The information will be protected pursuant to the appropriate exemptions from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
should it be the subject of a FOIA request.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
BURDEN ESTIMATE AND REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering
and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of
information to BIS Information Collection Officer, Room 6883, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230, and to the Office of Management and
Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (OMB Control No. 0694‐0120), Washington, D.C. 20503.

General Instructions
Your organization is required to complete this survey of the U.S. vanadium industry, which can be downloaded from the BIS website:
http://www.bis.doc.gov/XXX
If you are unable to download the survey document, at your request, BIS survey support staff will e‐mail the Excel survey template

2. Facility Information
First, indicate in the box to the right how many of your organization’s U.S. based facilities [including idle or on standby and facilities under construction] are involved in the importation, distribution, production, or exploration of vanadium products.
Facilities supporting multiple product categories should be counted just once for the total number but duplicated for each product category supported in the facility description
Then, in accordance with the header, describe each U.S facility [including idle or on standby] involved in the importation, distribution or production of vanadium products.
Remember to duplicate the facility in a dedicated row for each product category supported. In addition to standby or idle facilities, include any facilities shut down since 2015 and facilities under construction.

3a. U.S. Production
Record the total annual quantity of each subject product your organization produced from 2015‐2020 (YTD July). Then, document the current annual capacity, utilization rate, average marginal cost per kilogram/unit, and price V2O5 required to continue operations. Remember to confirm the units of
measurement. If your organization toll produces any material, include the type and quantity produced here. If your organization is a tollee (i.e. provides material to a toller for conversion) , do not record this production below.
If you only distribute and do not manufacture any of the subject vanadium products, indicate so here and move to the
next section.
Do not include data on subject products that your organization only distributes.
