    Public Law 97-446, as amended by Public Law 103-465, Public Law

the Interior to administer the distribution of watch duty-exemptions 
and watch and jewelry duty-refunds to program producers in the U.S. 
insular possessions and the Northern Mariana Islands. The primary 
consideration in collecting information is the enforcement of the laws 
and the information gathered is limited to that necessary to prevent 
abuse of the program and to permit a fair and equitable distribution of 
its benefits. Form ITA-334P is the principal program form used for 
recording operational data which are the bases for determining program 
entitlements and their distribution among the producers. This form also 
serves as the producer's application to the Departments for these 
entitlements. The form is completed biannually by watch and jewelry 
manufacturers. We propose modifying the form and the title of the form 
due to the passage of Public Law 106-36 and Public Law 108-429. Also, 
due to the passage of Public Law 108-429, new paperwork requirements 
need to be added to Form ITA-334P. Without the additional data, it 
would not be possible to calculate the further benefits mandated by 
law.

II. Method of Collection

    The Department of Commerce sends Form ITA-334P to each watch and 
jewelry producer biannually. A company official completes the form
