The Department of Commerce will submit the following information

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 June 24, 2022, during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: Economic Development Administration (EDA), U.S. Department
of Commerce.
Title: Petition by a Firm for Certification of Eligibility to Apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance, and Adjustment Proposals.
OMB Control Number: 0610-0091.
Form Number(s): ED-840P.
Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 300 (150 petitions for certification and 150
adjustment proposals).
Average Hours per Response: 53 hours for petitions for
certification and 120 hours for adjustment proposals.
Burden Hours: 25,950 (7,950 hours for petitions for certification
and 18,000 for adjustment proposals).
Needs and Uses: The information collected on Form ED-840P, Petition

Adjustment Assistance, and relevant supporting documentation is used to
determine whether a firm satisfies the eligibility and programmatic

of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2341). If certified as eligible for
Trade Adjustment Assistance following submission of Form ED-840P, firms
must create an EDA-approved Adjustment Proposal in order to receive
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
The statutory authorization for the TAAF program sunset in two
stages. First, on July 1, 2021, the TAAF program reverted to more
limited eligibility criteria. Second, as of June 30, 2022, assistance
could not be provided to new firms. After that date, assistance could
only be provided to firms that had previously submitted a petition
under the TAAF program. EDA wishes to extend the current information
collection for the TAAF program so that EDA may continue to review and
approve adjustment proposals from certified firms, and in case the TAAF
program is re-authorized by Congress.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: During application for Trade Adjustment Assistance.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
