SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The International Trade
Administration’s U.S. Commercial
Service (CS) is seeking approval to
revise this information collection by
combining with other collections, OMB
control numbers: 0625–0065, 0625–
0130, 0625–0143, 0625–0151, 0625–
0215, 0625–0220, 0625–0228, and 0625–
0238. These collections include all
client intake, events/activities and
export success forms. This
comprehensive information collection
will cover all aspects of an international
organization’s life-cycle with CS.
CS is mandated by Congress to help
U.S. organizations, particularly but not
limited to small and medium-sized
organizations, export their products and
services to global markets. As part of its
mission, the CS provides market entry/
expansion services and trade events to
U.S. organizations. The International
Client Life-cycle Multi-Purpose Forms,
previously titled Export Assistance
Center Internet Web Site Forms, are
needed to collect information to enable
U.S. organizations to efficiently and
effectively enhance their ability to
determine which international
organizations are most suited for their
exporting expansion efforts.
The key to effectively and efficiently
assisting U.S. organizations export is
identifying and verifying potential
international buyers of U.S. goods and
services.
1. Create an all inclusive and flexible
client life-cycle information collection.
The proposed categories of questions
are: Contact information, organization
information, organization type,
agreements and confirmations,
objectives, products and services,
exporting experience, marketing, events
and activities, trade fair/show, certified
trade missions, trade missions,
advocacy, environment, and education.
CS asks only those questions that
provide the required information to
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
assist CS in fulfilling a client’s objective
for a requested service and/or event/
activity.
2. Provide CS with the flexibility to
create forms from the above approved
categories and their questions. Client
benefits include customizing questions,
forms, and services to address their
specific needs and objectives. Without
this flexibility, CS is impeded from
collecting pertinent client information
in an effective and efficient manner.
Therefore, with increased flexibility,
and the ability to immediately ascertain
key information, U.S. organizations are
productively positioned to achieve their
exporting and expansion goals.
3. Reduce client burden through
forms’ flexibility and technology. CS
seeks increased forms flexibility to
ensure that CS asks and captures only
the specific information needed for a
particular event, thereby continuing to
reduce client burdens as CS utilizes prepopulated information for clients who
have previously registered with CS. As
CS moves forward, we understand the
importance and need for strategic
planning and integration of future
technology and initiatives that relate to
CS programs and metrics with the types
of information collected from clients to
conduct those programs.
Additionally, the most important
positive impact is the ability to quickly
change and ask pertinent questions to
assist clients with their exporting needs
regarding matchmaking services,
organization promotions, trade
missions, market research and other
trade promotional activities.
II. Method of Collection
The information will be collected
through Export.gov or sent via email
and then completed by client
electronically.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0625–0237.
Form Number(s): NA.
Type of Review: Regular submission

Estimated Number of Respondents:
70,000.

Public: $0.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance

(including hours and cost) of the

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

technology.

I. Abstract
The International Trade Administration's U.S. Commercial Service
(CS) is seeking approval to revise this information collection by
combining with other collections, OMB control numbers: 0625-0065, 0625-
0130, 0625-0143, 0625-0151, 0625-0215, 0625-0220, 0625-0228, and 0625-
