Abstract: The major objective of the
Overseas Trade Support Group is to
expand U.S. agricultural exports by
helping U.S. companies to sell their
products outside the United States. U.S.
companies use the Foreign Buyer List
service to learn of 20,000 buyers in more
than 25 countries who specialize in the
importation and distribution of U.S.
products in their country. Specific
program and form information is
available at: https://www.fas.usda.gov/
agx/buying_us/
foreign_buyers_exporters.asp. Each year

a certain number of trade shows are
selected in the best prospective markets
to host a U.S.A. pavilion where U.S.
companies can promote their products
to buyers. A list of USDA endorsed
shows is available at: https://
www.fas.usda.gov/agx/trade_events/
trade_events.asp. The Exporter
Assistance section of the FAS Web site
https://www.fas.usda.gov/, a one-stopshop for either the experienced or
novice exporter offers information about
exporting and easy access to register for
these services. Customer service surveys
are collected at various trade shows and
evaluations of Foreign Buyers List data
are downloaded annually in order to
improve the effectiveness of these
services. The information is necessary to
manage, plan and evaluate the
effectiveness of these services, which
are intended to help U.S. companies to
market and sell their products in
overseas markets. Authority to collect
this information falls under 7 U.S.C.
part 1761 and is voluntary for U.S.
companies to participate. A small fee is
charged for some of the services.
Estimate of Burden: The burden to
U.S. exporters is estimated to average
0.25 hours per response.
Respondents: U.S. agricultural
exporters of food, farm, and forest
products.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3000 per annum.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 4 per annum.
Estimated Total Annual Burden of
Respondents: 3000 hours per annum.
