Description
The U.S. International Trade Commission has submitted a proposal to the Office of Management and Budget for a three-year extension of the current generic clearance for information collection activities. This clearance allows the Commission to issue information collections for investigations and reviews under various trade statutes including antidumping duty, countervailing duty, safeguards, and others. The collections involve questionnaires and forms related to investigations and reviews required by law. Comments on the proposed information collection are requested and must be specific, detailing any objections and suggested revisions.
