    Title: Distribution of Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset to 
Affected Domestic Producers
    OMB Number: 1651-0086
    Form Number: CBP Form 7401
    Abstract: This collection of information is used by CBP to make 
distributions of funds pursuant to the Continued Dumping and Subsidy 
Offset Act of 2000 (CDSOA). 19 U.S.C. 1675c (repealed by the Deficit 
Reduction Act of 2005, Pub. L. 109-171, Sec.  7601 (Feb. 8, 2006)). 
This Act prescribes the administrative procedures under which 
antidumping and countervailing duties assessed on imported products are 
distributed to affected domestic producers that petitioned for or 
supported the issuance of the order under which the duties were 
assessed. The amount of any distribution afforded to these domestic 
producers is based upon certain qualifying expenditures that they incur 
after the issuance of the order or finding up to the effective date of 
the CDSOA's repeal, October 1, 2007. This distribution is known as the 
continued dumping and subsidy offset. The claims process for the CDSOA 
program is provided for in 19 CFR 159.61 and 159.63.
    A notice is published in the Federal Register in June of each year 
in order to inform claimants that they can make claims under the CDSOA. 
In order to make a claim under the CDSOA, CBP Form 7401 may be used. 
This form is accessible at https://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/forms/ 
and can be submitted electronically through https://www.pay.gov/paygov/forms/formInstance.html?agencyFormId=8776895.
    Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the 
expiration date and to revise the burden hours as a result of updated 
estimates of the number of CDSOA claims prepared on an annual basis. 
There are no changes to the information collected.
    Type of Review: Extension with a change to the burden hours.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,600.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.75.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 2,800.
