DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of Industry and Security.
    Title: Application for NATO International Competitive Bidding.
    OMB Control Number: 0694-0128.
    Form Number(s): BIS-4023P.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current 
information collection).
    Burden Hours: 40.
    Number of Respondents: 40.
    Average Hours Per Response: 1 hour.
    Needs and Uses: Opportunities to bid for contracts under the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Security Investment Program (NSIP) 
are only open to firms of member NATO countries. NSIP procedures for 
international competitive bidding (AC/4-D/2261) require that each NATO 
country certify that their respective firms are eligible to bid on such 
contracts. This is done through the issuance of a ``Declaration of 
Eligibility.'' The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and 
Security (BIS) is the executive agency responsible for certifying U.S. 
firms. The BIS-4023P is the application form used to collect 
information needed to ascertain the eligibility of a U.S. firm. BIS 
will review applications for completeness and accuracy, and determine a 
company's eligibility based on its financial viability, technical 
capability, and security clearances with the U.S. Department of 
Defense.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Jennifer Jessup, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0336, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to Jasmeet Seehra, OMB Desk Officer, by email to [email protected], or by fax to (202) 395-5167.

    Dated: October 21, 2013.
