DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce has submitted 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: International Trade Administration.
Title: Annual Report from Foreign-Trade Zones.
[[Page 50120]]
OMB Control Number: 0625-0109.
Form Number(s): ITA-359P.
Type of Request: Regular Submission (revision/extension of a
currently approved information collection).
Burden Hours: 10,784 hours.
Number of Respondents: 263.
Average Hours per Response: 1 to 76 hours (depending on size and
structure of the foreign-trade zone).
Needs and Uses: The Foreign-Trade Zone Annual Report is the vehicle
by which Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) grantees report annually to the
Foreign Trade Zones Board, pursuant to the requirements of the Foreign
Trade Zones Act (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u). The annual reports submitted by
grantees are the only complete source of compiled information on FTZ's.
The data and information contained in the reports relates to
international trade activity in FTZ's. The reports are used by the
Congress and the Department to determine the economic effect of the FTZ
program. The reports are also used by the FTZ Board and other trade
policy officials to determine whether zone activity is consistent with
U.S. international trade policy, and whether it is in the public
interest. The public uses the information regarding activities carried
on in FTZ's to evaluate their effect on industry sectors. The
information contained in annual reports also helps zone grantees in
their marketing efforts.
Affected Public: State, local, or tribal governments or not-for-
profit institutions.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to OIRA [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
