SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The President's Proclamation on Steel Safeguards mandated that the 
Departments of Commerce and Treasury institute an import licensing 
system to facilitate the monitoring of certain steel imports in 2002.
    Regulations were established that implemented the Steel Import 
Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) System and expanded on the licensing 
system in 2006 for steel that was part of those safeguards. The import 
license information is necessary to assess import trends of steel 
products.
    In order to effectively monitor steel imports, Commerce must 
collect and provide timely aggregated summaries about the imports. The 
Steel Import License is the tool used to collect the necessary 
information. The Census Bureau currently collects import data and 
disseminates aggregate information about steel imports. However, the 
time required to collect, process, and disseminate this information 
through Census can take up to 90 days after importation of the product, 
giving interested parties and the public far less time to respond to 
injurious sales.

II. Method of Collection

    The license application can be submitted electronically via the 
Commerce Web site (https://enforcement.trade.gov/steel/license/) or 
completed electronically and emailed or faxed to the Department.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
