SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
Upon request, BIS will initiate an
investigation to determine the effects of
imports of specific commodities on the
national security and will make the
findings known to the President for
possible adjustments to imports through
tariffs. The findings are made publicly
available and are reported to Congress.
The purpose of this collection is to
account for the public burden associated
with the surveys distributed to
determine the impact on national
security. These surveys are designed to
gather information so that BIS can
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
28735
evaluate the impact of foreign imports of
strategic commodities on the national
security of the United States. Each
Section 232 study is for a specific
commodity or technology that is
required for national security reasons
(e.g., precision bearings,
microprocessors, machine tools, etc).
These surveys attempt to determine the
size of the domestic U.S. industry, how
the domestic U.S. industry has been
effected by foreign imports, demand for
the commodity during peacetime,
demand during wartime, the ability of
the U.S. domestic industry to meet a
surge in demand during wartime, and
the potential impact on U.S. national
security if wartime demand cannot be
met by domestic U.S. suppliers.
II. Method of Collection
BIS custom-designs unique
instruments for each Section 232
survey. The method of collection could
be via paper or electronic.
III. Data
