DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance of 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 (ITA).
Title: Export Information Services
Order Forms.
Form Number(s): ITA–4096P.
OMB Control Number: 0625–0143.
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Burden Hours: 1,506.
Number of Respondents: 9,035.
Average Hours per Response: 10
minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Commercial
Service (CS) offers a variety of services
to enable clients to begin exporting or to
expand existing exporting efforts. The
CS provides a standard set of services to
assist clients with identifying potential
overseas partners, establishing meeting
programs with appropriate overseas
business contacts and providing due
diligence reports on potential overseas
business partners. The CS also provides
other export-related services considered
to be of a ‘‘customized nature’’ because
they do not fit into the standard set of
CS export services, but are driven by
unique business needs of individual
clients.
Before the CS can provide exportrelated services to clients, specific
information is required to determine the
client’s business objectives and needs.
This information collection is designed
to elicit such data so that appropriate
services can be proposed and conducted
to most effectively meet the client’s
exporting goals. Without these forms the
CS is unable to provide services when
requested by clients.
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The CS requests approval to use the
currently approved ‘‘Company
Information’’ Form for International
Partner Search Service (IPS), to include
their new Gold Key Service (GKS), by
adding a check-box to the form. These
two services involve the identification
of appropriate potential business
partners and require the same type of
information about a client’s exporting
and business needs, therefore one form
will be used to meet both functions. The
primary difference between IPS and
GKS—GKS provides meetings between
the clients and the appropriate potential
partners that have been identified for
them.
The CS would like approval to make
slight modifications to the currently
approved International ‘‘Company
Profile’’ Form based upon
recommendations from clients. The
slight layout and text changes will make
the form easier for clients to understand
and complete.
CS also seeks approval to replace the
currently approved ‘‘Customized Market
Research’’ Form with a more general
Customized Services Form that would
be used for a wide variety of customized
services, including Customized Market
Research. We are moving towards
providing more customized solutions to
clients to better meet their needs and
this change will allow flexibility to
tailor our services to precisely meet
their unique requirements. The
standardized services such as GKS, ICP
and IPS are appropriate for a number of
clients, but they are not necessarily the
best fit for every client. CS would like
the flexibility to make slight
modifications to the Customized
Services Form based upon new client
needs that may arise within the next
three years and for which we cannot
identify at this point in time. As
economic and business conditions vary,
clients needs may change, and being
able to make modifications will allow
CS to immediately obtain the
information needed to assess the clients’
needs, and provide the most effective
and appropriate export-related services.
This information collection request
also seeks approval to continue the use
of the ‘‘U.S. Supplier Search’’ Form in
which CS obtains information on the
product and service needs of
international buyers in order for CS to
provide details on U.S. suppliers who
produce or provide the required
products or services.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
