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; Inclusions to the Section 232 National Security Adjustments to
Automobile Parts Imports
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 December 23, 2025, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
Title: Inclusions to the Section 232 National Security Adjustments
to Automobile Parts Imports.
OMB Control Number: 0625-0284.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission, reinstatement without change.
Number of Respondents: 200.
Average Hours per Response: 8 hours.
Burden Hours: 1,600.
Needs and Uses: On March 26, 2025, the President issued
Proclamation 10908, ``Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile
Parts Into the United States,'' 90 FR 14705 (April 3, 2025) (Automobile
Proclamation), which finds that imports of automobiles and certain
automobile parts continue to threaten to impair the national security
of the United States and imposes specified tariffs to adjust imports of
automobiles and certain automobile parts so that such imports will not
threaten to impair national security pursuant to Section 232 of the
Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (``Section 232''). Section 232 authorizes
the President to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives
that are being imported into the United States in such quantities or
under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security
of the United States so that such imports will not threaten to impair
national security. The Automobile Proclamation imposed a 25 percent
tariff on certain imports of automobiles, effective April 3, 2025, and
certain imports of automobile parts, effective May 3, 2025.
The Automobile Proclamation also required the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) to establish a process for including additional automobile
parts articles within the scope of the tariffs imposed by the President
in the Automobile Proclamation. In addition to inclusions made by the
Secretary, the process is to provide for including additional
automobile parts articles at the request of a domestic producer of an
automobile or automobile parts article, or an industry association
representing one or more such producers, where the request establishes
that imports of additional automobile parts articles have increased in
a manner that threatens to impair the national security or otherwise
undermines the objectives set forth in Proclamation 9888 (84 FR 23433,
May 17, 2019), the Automobile Proclamation, or in any proclamation
issued under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended
(Section 232) or any additional information submitted to the President
by the Secretary pursuant to those proclamations.
Proclamation 10984 of October 17, 2025, ``Adjusting Imports of
Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts,
and Buses Into the United States,'' (Proclamation 10984) took similar
action to address the threat imports of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles
(MHDV) and Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts (MHDVPs) pose to the
national security of the United States; that Proclamation also amended
the inclusion rules established by Proclamation 10925 to include MHDVs,
MHDVPs, and buses.
When the Secretary receives such a request from a domestic producer
or industry association, the Secretary, after consultation with the
United States International Trade Commission and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection, is to issue a determination regarding
[[Page 10067]]
whether to include the articles within 60 days of receiving the
request.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
