SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE), is conducting a survey of the automobile and/or automotive parts industries. The survey, requested by the Office of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce, will be used to support an investigation initiated under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended. The investigation was requested by the President of the United States.

The principal goal of this survey is to assist the Commerce Department in determining whether automobiles and/or automotive parts 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, joint ventures, trade flows, supply chain data, sales and demand data, employment information, conditions of competition, research and development information, and government and defense activities. The resulting aggregate data will give the Commerce Department detailed industry information that is otherwise not publicly available and needed to effectively conduct its analysis.

RESPONSE TO THIS SURVEY IS REQUIRED BY LAW

A response to this survey is required by law (50 U.S.C. App. Sec. 2155). 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 Information furnished herewith is deemed confidential and will not be published or disclosed except in accordance with Section 705 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. Sec. 2155). 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 20 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. automobile manufacturing industry (including passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs, and vans) and auto parts manufacturing industry using an Excel template, which can be downloaded from the BIS website: http://bis.doc.gov/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you are not able to download the survey document, at your request, Commerce staff will e-mail the Excel survey template directly to you.

For your convenience, a PDF version of the survey and required drop-down content is available on the BIS website to aid internal data collection. DO NOT SUBMIT the PDF version of the survey as your response to BIS. Should this occur, your organization will be required to resubmit the survey in the requested Excel format.

Respond to every question. Surveys that are not fully completed will be returned for completion. Use the comment boxes to provide any information to supplement responses provided in the survey form. Make sure to record a complete answer in the cell provided, even if the cell does not appear to expand to fit all of the information.

DO NOT CUT AND PASTE RESPONSES WITHIN THIS SURVEY OR PASTE IN RESPONSES FROM OUTSIDE THE SURVEY. Survey inputs should be completed by typing in responses or by using a drop-down menu. The use of cut and paste can corrupt the survey template. If your survey response is corrupted as a result of cut and paste responses, a new survey will be sent to your organization for immediate completion.

Do not disclose any classified information in this survey form.

Upon completion of the survey, final review, and certification, transmit the survey document via e-mail to: [email protected]
