or authorize the Commission to make

of the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
and bilateral safeguard. Any comments
submitted to OMB on the proposed
information collection should be

questionnaires or study plan are

The Commission did not receive any
comments in response to the 60-day
notice that it published in the Federal
Register on January 29, 2020.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before June 10, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Commenters are encouraged
to submit comments by email. Submit
any comments about the proposal to the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, Attention: Sam Wice, Desk
Officer for U.S. International Trade
Commission at Samuel.L.Wice@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
(1) The proposed information
collection consists of six forms, namely
the Sample Producers’, Sample
Importers’, Sample Purchasers’, and
Sample Foreign Producers’
questionnaires (separate forms are
provided for questionnaires issued for
the five-year reviews), Sample
Administrative Protective Order
Application Form, and Sample Notice of
Institution for Five-Year Reviews.
(2) The types of items contained
within the sample questionnaires,
administrative protective order
application, and institution notice are
largely determined by statute. Actual
questions formulated for use in a
specific investigation depend upon such
factors as the nature of the industry, the

relevant issues, the ability of
respondents to supply the data, and the
availability of data from secondary
sources.
(3) Commission staff consolidates the
information collected through
questionnaires issued under the generic
clearance for trade remedy
investigations, and this information
forms much of the statistical base for the
Commission’s determinations.
Affirmative Commission determinations
in antidumping and countervailing duty
investigations result in the imposition of
duties on imports entering the United
States, as determined by the U.S.
Department of Commerce, which are in
addition to any normal customs duties.
If the Commission makes an affirmative
determination in a five-year review, the
existing antidumping or countervailing
duty order remains in place. The
president or the U.S. Trade
Representative use the data developed
in global safeguard, market disruption,
and interference with U.S. Department
of Agriculture program investigations (if
the Commission finds affirmatively) to
determine the type of relief, if any, to be
provided to domestic industries.
The submissions made to the
Commission of the administrative
protective order application form is the
basis on which parties are granted
disclosure of business proprietary
information. The submissions made to
the Commission in response to the
notices of institution of five-year
reviews are the basis for the
Commission’s determination whether to
conduct a full or expedited review.
(4) Likely respondents are businesses
(including foreign businesses) or farms
that produce, import, or purchase
products under investigation. The
Commission estimates that information
collections issued under the requested
generic clearance will impose an
average annual burden of 409,250 hours
on 12,935 respondents (i.e., recipients
that provide a response to the
Commission’s questionnaires, notices of
institution of five-year reviews, and
other investigations and forms).
(5) No record keeping burden is
known to result from the proposed
collection of information.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: May 5, 2020.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
