SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Contact Facilitation Service (CFS)
is a U.S. Department of Commerce
database, designed to put U.S.
producers together with export service
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
providers. Many U.S. firms have never
exported because of a fear of the risks
involved in exporting and a lack of
knowledge of the international
marketplace. New-to-export firms need
the assistance of export service firms
offering export trade services. One of the
purposes of the Export Trading
Company (ETC) Act of 1982 is to
increase United States exports of goods
and services by encouraging more
efficient provision of export trade
services to U.S. producers and
suppliers. Section 104 of the Act directs
Commerce to provide a service to
facilitate contact between producers of
exportable goods and services and firms
offering export trade services.
The International Trade
Administration (ITA) maintains the CFS
database of U.S. manufacturers, export
trading and management companies,
wholesalers/distributors, and
international service firms. The CFS is
designed to help promote exports and
enable U.S. producers to locate export
service providers. Export Service firms
registered in the CFS database are listed
in annual print editions of the U.S.
Trade Assistance Directory, distributed
throughout the United States. U.S.
producers of goods and services
registered in the CFS database are listed
in the annual print editions of the U.S.
Department of Commerce Exporters’
Yellow PagesTM, distributed worldwide.
These directories also are accessible
online at https://www.myexports.com.
The print and electronic produced and
made available through ITA’s
‘‘MyExports’’ ‘‘program. Without the
information collected by the form, the
CFS database and the resulting
directories would be unreliable and
ineffective, because users of this kind of
data need current information about the
listed companies.
II. Method of Collection
Form ITA–4094P is sent by request to
U.S. firms.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0625–0120.
Form Number: ITA–4094P.
