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 November 22, 2021, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce.
Title: Procedures for Submitting Requests for Objections from the
Section 232 National Security Adjustments of Imports of Steel and
Aluminum.
OMB Control Number: 0694-0138.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission, extension of a current
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 28,061.
Average Hours Per Response: 4 hours.
Burden Hours: 112,244.
Needs and Uses: On March 8, 2018, the President issued
Proclamations 9704 and 9705 concurring with the findings of the two
reports and determining that adjusting imports through the
[[Page 14821]]
imposition of duties on steel and aluminum is necessary so that imports
of steel and aluminum will no longer threaten to impair the national
security. The Proclamations also authorized the Secretary of Commerce,
in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary of State, the United States Trade
Representative, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and other
senior executive branch officials as appropriate, to grant exclusions
from the duties for domestic parties affected by the duties. This could
take place if the Secretary determines the steel or aluminum for which
the exclusion is requested is not produced in the United States in a
sufficient and reasonably available amount or of a satisfactory quality
or should be excluded based upon specific national security
considerations. The President directed the Secretary to promulgate
regulations as may be necessary to implement an exclusion process. The
purpose of this information collection is to allow for submission of
exclusions requests from the remedies instituted in presidential
proclamations adjusting imports of steel into the United States and
adjusting imports of aluminum into the United States.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
