Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Parts Tariff Offset Program for Motor Vehicles and Motor
Vehicle Parts
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 November 26, 2025, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: International Trade Administration, Commerce.
Title: Parts Tariff Offset Program for Motor Vehicles and Motor
Vehicle Parts.
OMB Control Number: 0625-0283.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission, extension with a revision of a
current information collection.
Number of Respondents: 30.
Average Hours per Response: 40 hours.
Burden Hours: 2,400.
Needs and Uses: On March 26, 2025, the President issued
Proclamation 10908 (90 FR 14705), ``Adjusting Imports of Automobiles
and Automobile Parts Into the United States,'' (Proclamation 10908)
finding that imports of motor vehicles and certain motor vehicle parts
continue to threaten to impair the national security of the United
States and imposing specified tariffs to adjust imports of motor
vehicles and certain motor vehicles 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. Proclamation 10908 imposed a 25 percent tariff on
certain imports of motor vehicles, effective April 3, 2025, and certain
imports of motor vehicle parts, effective May 3, 2025.
On April 29, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10925 (90 FR
18899), which allowed for motor vehicle manufacturers assembling motor
vehicles in the United States to apply for an import adjustment offset
amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under Proclamation
10908 on imports of motor vehicle parts. Proclamation 10925 required
that within 30 days of the date of the order the Secretary of the
Department of Commerce (Commerce) shall establish a process by which
motor vehicle manufacturers could submit documentation supporting
eligibility and a claim for an import adjustment offset amount.
On June 13, 2025, the International Trade Administration published
a Notice titled ``Procedures To Administer Import Adjustment Offset
Amounts for Certain Imports of Automobile Parts Under Proclamation
10908, as Amended'' (90 FR 25027), which established procedures for
motor vehicle manufacturers to apply for and use the import adjustment
offset amount established by Presidential Proclamation 10925 of April
29, 2025 (90 FR 18899), ``Amendments to Adjusting Imports of
Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States'' (Proclamation
10925) to incentivize domestic motor vehicle production and reduce
American reliance on imports of foreign motor vehicles and their parts.
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 offset rules established by Proclamation 10925.
Through this Offset Program motor vehicle manufacturers with final
production in the United States have the opportunity to submit
documentation to request an import adjustment offset amount for motor
vehicles and motor vehicle parts, which include automobiles, medium-
and heavy-duty vehicles, buses, and their parts. The import adjustment
offset may only be used by importers of record authorized by that
manufacturer, and the amount may only be used to offset tariff
liability related to that manufacturer's motor vehicle parts tariff
liability under Proclamation 10908 or Proclamation 10984 and any future
related Proclamations.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Twice annually.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Proclamation 10908 or Proclamation 10984.
