SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
SelectUSA, within the International Trade Administration, provides
programs and services that focus on facilitating job-creating business
investment into the United States and raising awareness of the critical
role that economic development plays in the U.S. economy. These
programs include information products, services, and trade events to
potential foreign investors into the United States and to U.S.-based
economic development organizations. To accomplish its mission
effectively, SelectUSA requires detailed information from clients in
order to provide resources and services that meet each specific
client's needs. This information collection item allows ITA to solicit
clients' interest for the use of ITA products, services, and trade
events. To promote optimal use and effective response to client needs
through ITA services and programs, we are requesting approval for this
clearance package. Upon approval by OMB, ITA will use the approved
information collection to collect client input by the use of multiple
data collection methods, including Comment Cards (i.e., transactional-
based surveys), web-enabled surveys sent via email, telephone
interviews, automated telephone surveys, and in-person surveys via
mobile devices/laptops/tablets at trade events/shows. The use of these
multiple data collection methods is suggested solely to reduce the
public burden in responding to requests for input. Without this
information, ITA is unable to systematically determine the actual and
relative levels of user needs for its programs and products/services
and to provide clear, actionable insights for client use. This
information will be used for strategic planning, allocation of
resources, and stakeholder reporting.
II. Method of Collection
The International Trade Administration is seeking approval for the
following data collection methods to provide flexibility in conducting
customer intake surveys and to reduce the burden on respondents: (1) an
email message delivering a hot link to a web enabled survey with an
email reminder sent if the client does not respond to the survey within
two weeks; (2) a telephone survey/interview; and (3) a web-enabled
survey conducted in-person at trade shows/events via a laptop, tablet
or mobile phone so participants can immediately respond without having
to provide their email address.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0625-XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: New information collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; Not-
for-profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal government; and
Federal government.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 200.
Estimated Time Per Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 100 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $50,000.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Public Law 15 U.S.C. et seq. and 15 U.S.C. 171 et
seq.
IV. Request for Comments
We are soliciting public comments to permit the Department/Bureau
to: (a) Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper functions of the Department, including whether
the information will have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the accuracy
of our estimate of the time and cost burden for this proposed
collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (c) Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and (d) Minimize the reporting burden
on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available
at any time. While you may ask us in your comment to withhold your
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Department PRA Clearance Officer, Office of the Under Secretary for
Economic Affairs, Commerce Department.
