Abstract:  Generic clearance authority to issue
questionnaires during the course of the Commission's statutorily
mandated import injury investigations. The questionnaires are
directed to domestic producers, importers, purchasers, and foreign
producers that manufacture or import/purchase merchandise that is
either the subject of a filed petition or for which a current
antidumping or countervailing duty order is in place. Also,
institution notices for the five-year sunset reviews request
information and application for administrative protective order in
import injury investigations.

Short Statement:  The current generic clearance
authority for 296,814 hours of average annual burden expires on
June 30, 2020. As shown in Table 1 of supporting statement Part A,
this request for an extension projects a total respondent burden of
409,250 hours. This increase reflects the increase in the type and
number of investigations/reviews and the resulting number of
questionnaires, as well as the increased complexity of the
investigations/reviews. This burden estimate is based on the hour
and dollar burden data submitted by firms for the previous three
years (calendar years 2017 - 2019).
