DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Bureau of Industry and Security
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Request for Investigation Under Section 232 of the Trade
Expansion Act
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 April 19, 2024, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
Title: Request for Investigation under Section 232 of the Trade
Expansion Act.
OMB Control Number: 0694-0120.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission, extension of a current
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 800.
Average Hours per Response: 15 hours.
Burden Hours: 12.000.
Needs and Uses: Upon request, BIS will initiate an investigation to
determine the effects of imports of specific commodities on the
national security and will make the findings known to the President for
possible adjustments to imports through tariffs. The findings are made
publicly available and are reported to Congress. The purpose of this
collection is to account for the public burden associated with the
surveys distributed to determine the impact on national security.
These surveys are designed to gather information so that BIS can
evaluate the impact of foreign imports of strategic commodities on the
national security of the United States. Each Section 232 study is for a
specific commodity or technology that is required for national security
reasons (e.g., precision bearings, microprocessors, machine tools,
etc). These surveys attempt to determine the size of the domestic U.S.
industry, how the domestic U.S. industry has been affected by foreign
imports, demand for the commodity during peacetime, demand during
wartime, the ability of the U.S. domestic industry to meet a surge in
demand during wartime, and the potential impact on U.S. national
security if wartime demand cannot be met by domestic U.S. suppliers.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act.
