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

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 Automobiles, MHDVs, and
Engines.
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: 50.
Average Hours per Response: 40 hours.
Burden Hours: 4,000.
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 automobiles and certain automobile parts
continue to threaten to impair the national security of the United
States and imposing specified tariffs to adjust imports of automobiles
and certain automobiles 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 automobiles, effective April 3, 2025, and certain imports of
automobile parts, effective May 3, 2025.
On April 29, 2025, the President issued Proclamation 10925 (90 FR
18899), which allowed for automobile manufacturers assembling
automobiles in the United States to apply for an import adjustment
offset amount, which would offset certain tariff liability under
Proclamation 10908 on imports of automobile 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 automobile 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
automobile 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 automobile production and reduce
American reliance on imports of foreign automobiles 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 automobile and MHDV manufacturers with
final production in the United States have the opportunity to submit
documentation to request an import adjustment offset amount for 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 automobile
and MHDV parts tariff liability under Proclamation 10908 or
Proclamation 10984 and any future related Proclamations.
On May 15, 2026, the International Trade Administration published a
Notice titled ``Amending the Procedures To Administer Import Adjustment
Offset Amounts for Certain Imports of Automobile Parts Under
Proclamation 10908 to Include Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Parts''
(May 15 Notice), which established amended procedures for automobile
and medium- and heavy-duty vehicle (MHDV) manufacturers to apply for
and use the import adjustment offset amounts established by
Presidential Proclamation 10925 of April 29, 2025, ``Amendments to
Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United
States'', and Presidential 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.''
Procedures to allow domestic manufacturers of automobile engines and
MHDV engines to claim import adjustment offsets for imports of parts in
a manner consistent with those Proclamations have been established. The
procedures exclude certain engine assembly operations determined to be
limited production operations from being considered in the calculation
of offsets.
During the normal extension period, ICR 0625-0283 underwent
multiple revisions driven by evolving Administration policy priorities
and implementation requirements, often with limited lead time. These
revisions expanded the existing Offset Program to include medium- and
heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs), MHDV parts, and engines. To avoid the need
for multiple future emergency approvals for every collection within the
same program scope, this renewal incorporates those revisions and
updates the title of the information collection to comprehensively
reflect all categories covered under the Offset Program.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Twice annually.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Proclamations 10908, 10925 and 10984.
