SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Request for Comments

    Comments are solicited as to (1) Whether the proposed information 
collection is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) 
minimization of the burden of the proposed information collection on 
those who are to respond.

Summary of the Proposed Information Collection

    In its FY 2013 Performance Plan (available on the agency's Internet 
server at https://www.usitc.gov/press_room/documents/budget_2013.pdf 
), the Commission set the goal of obtaining feedback on the 
effectiveness of its exclusion orders issued under 19 U.S.C. 1337. The 
proposed survey is directed to entities that have obtained an 
outstanding exclusion order, and asks each such entity that responds to 
the survey to: (i) Evaluate whether the exclusion order has prevented 
the importation of items covered by the order; (ii) if not, estimate 
what are the absolute value and effect in the United States market of 
such imports; and (iii) indicate what experience it has had in policing 
the exclusion order, particularly with respect to any investigatory 
efforts and any interactions with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
    Responses to the survey are voluntary. The Commission intends to 
permit electronic submission of responses to the survey and estimates 
that the survey will require less than one hour to complete.

     Issued: April 4, 2013.

    By order of the Commission.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
