Chapter 35). Agency: International Trade Administration. Title: International Client Life-cycle Multi-Purpose Forms. OMB Control Number: 0625–0237. Form Number(s): ITA–4096P. Type of Request: Regular submission (revision of a currently approved information collection). Burden Hours: 14,234. Number of Respondents: 47,318. Average Hours per Response: 5–30 minutes. Annual Cost to the Public: $8,625,000 ($345 per client for 25,000 Events and Activities services). Needs and Uses: The Commercial Service (CS) offers their clients DOC programs, market research, and services to enable the client to begin importing or to expand existing importing efforts. Specific information is required in order 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 importing goals. The CS has made efforts to provide more customized services to clients thereby requesting approval to use a service order form for customized services as well as for standardized services such as the International Partner Search and Gold Key Service. The information collected is used internally and is not disseminated to the public. These forms will also reduce client burden through forms’ flexibility and technology. The CS also seeks increased forms flexibility to ensure that CS asks and captures only the specific information needed for a particular service/event, thereby continuing to reduce client burdens as CS utilizes prepopulated information for clients who have previously registered with CS. As a client request specific CS services, a PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65665 set of questions will be presented to determine how CS will proceed to give the client the best export outcome. This revision to produce a customized form for each CS client, and will cover all aspects of an international client’s life-cycle with CS, involves merging with other information collections: OMB Control Nos: 0625–0065, 0625– 0130, 0625–0151, 0625–0215, 0625– 0220, 0625–0228, 0625–0143, and 0625– 0238. These collections include all client intake, events/activities and export success forms. The set of questions used to generate the customized forms have been approved under the aforementioned information collections. Upon OMB approval, these information collections will be discontinued. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. Frequency: On occasion. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. OMB Desk Officer: Wendy Liberante, (202) 395–3647. Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained by calling or writing Jennifer Jessup, Departmental Paperwork Clearance Officer, (202) 482–0336, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at JJessup@doc.gov.)

Burden Hours: 375. Number of Respondents: 1,500. Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes. Needs and Uses: NIST’s research on elevators has primarily focused on the technical aspects of ensuring safe and reliable evacuation for the occupants of tall buildings. In addition, the International Code Council and the National Fire Protection Association provide requirements for the use of elevators for both occupant evacuation and fire fighter access into the building. However, there still is little understanding of how occupants use elevator systems during fire emergencies. The main focus of this research effort is to gain an understanding of how elevators are currently used by occupants of existing multi-story buildings in the United States during fire emergencies. This research aims to summarize emergency plans and procedures from buildings that make use of one or multiple elevators from the existing elevator system (used for normal building traffic) for the evacuation of building occupants during fire emergencies. The respondents will be contacted to fill out a questionnaire asking about how the buildings’ evacuation plans incorporate the use of the existing elevator system to evacuate occupants during fire emergencies, specifically individuals with disabilities, if at all. Revisions: After further review of the survey, it was determined that some of the survey questions could potentially identify the respondent or at least the individuals with which the respondent works; and the possibility to identify individuals within the respondent’s building (i.e., the building occupants or residents). These questions were revised or deleted. Affected Public: Selected individuals, such as building managers and designated safety personnel, who are familiar with or in charge of developing emergency procedures for multi-story buildings in the United States, including both federal and private sector buildings.
