International Trade Administration

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Bureau:  International Trade Administration, Import Administration.

Title:  Petition Format for Requesting Relief Under U.S. Antidumping 
Duty Law.


Summary: DOC 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 of 1995, Public Law 
104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).
    Agency Form Number: ITA-357P.
    OMB Number: 0625-0105.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden: 2,200 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 55.
    Average Hours Per Response: 40.
    Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration, Import 
Administration, AD/CVD Enforcement, implements the U.S. antidumping and 
countervailing duty laws. Import Administration investigates 
allegations of unfair trade practices by foreign governments and 
producers and, in conjunction with the U.S. International Trade 
Commission, can impose duties on the product in question to offset the 
unfair practices. Form ITA-357P--Format for Petition Requesting Relief 
Under the U.S. Antidumping Duty Law--is designed for U.S. companies or 
industries that are unfamiliar with the antidumping law and the 
petition process. The Form is designed for potential petitioners that 
believe that an industry in the United States is being injured because 
a foreign competitor is selling a product in the United States at less 
than fair value. Since a variety of detailed information is required 
under the law before initiation of an antidumping duty investigation, 
the Form is designed to extract such information in the least 
burdensome manner possible.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
