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; Foreign-Trade Zone Applications
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
[[Page 25022]]
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 March 31, 2025, during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: International Trade Administration, Commerce.
Title: Foreign-Trade Zone Applications.
OMB Control Number: 0625-0139.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission, extension of a current
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 288.
Average Hours per Response: 3.5 to 131 hours.
Burden Hours: 2,521 hours.
Needs and Uses: The Foreign-Trade Zone Applications are the
vehicles by which individual firms or organizations apply for foreign-
trade zone (FTZ) status, for subzone status, production authority, or
for expansion/reorganization of an existing zone. The FTZ Act and
Regulations require that an application with a description of the
proposed project be made to the FTZ Board (19 U.S.C. 81b and 81f; 15
CFR 400.24.26) before a license can be issued or a zone can be
expanded. The Act and the Regulations require that applications contain
detailed information on facilities, financing, operational plans,
proposed production operations, need and economic impact. Production
activity in zones or subzones can involve issues related to domestic
industry and trade policy impact. Such applications must include
specific information on the customs tariff-related savings that result
from zone procedures and the economic consequences of permitting such
savings. The FTZ Board needs complete and accurate information on the
proposed operation and its economic effects because the Act and
Regulations authorize the Board to restrict or prohibit operations that
are detrimental to the public interest.
Affected Public: State, local, or tribal governments, or not-for-
profit institutions which are FTZ grantees, as well as private
companies.
Frequency: As necessary to receive benefits.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: 19 U.S.C. 81b and 81f; 15CFR 400.24.26.
