DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Surveys for User Satisfaction, Impact and Needs
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on July 6, 2021 during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: International Trade Administration, U.S. Commercial
Service, Commerce.
Title: Domestic and International Client Export Services and
Customized Forms.
OMB Control Number: 0625-0275.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Renewal submission (extension of a current
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 50,000.
Average Hours per Response: .5 (30 minutes).
Burden Hours: 33,333 (annual).
Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration provides a
multitude of international trade related programs to help U.S.
businesses. These programs include information products, services, and
trade events. To accomplish its mission effectively, ITA needs ongoing
feedback on its programs. This information collection item allows ITA
to solicit clients' opinions about the use of ITA products, services,
and trade events. To promote optimal use and provide focused and
effective improvements to ITA programs, we are requesting approval for
this clearance package; including: use of Comment Cards (i.e.
transactional-based surveys) to collect feedback immediately after ITA
assistance is provided to clients; use of annual surveys (i.e.,
relationship-based surveys) to gauge overall satisfaction, impact and
needs for clients with ITA assistance provided over a period time; use
of multiple data collection methods (i.e., web-enabled surveys sent via
email, telephone interviews, automated telephone surveys, and in-person
surveys via mobile devices/laptops/tablets at trade events/shows) to
enable clients to conveniently respond to requests for feedback; and a
forecast of burden hours. Without this information, ITA is unable to
systematically determine the actual and relative levels of performance
for its programs and products/services and to provide clear, actionable
insights for managerial intervention. This information will be used for
program evaluation and improvement, strategic planning, allocation of
resources and stakeholder reporting.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Public Law 15 U.S.C. et seq. and 15 U.S.C. 171 et
seq.
