DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance the following proposal for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-
13.
    Bureau: International Trade Administration.
    Title: Annual Report from Foreign-Trade Zones.
    Agency Form Number: ITA-359P.
    OMB Number: 0625-0109.
    Type of Request: Regular Submission.
    Estimated Burden: 14,330 hours.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 160.
    Est. Avg. Hours Per Response: 38 to 211 hours (depending on the 
size and structure of the foreign-trade zone).
    Needs and Uses: The Foreign-Trade Zone Annual Report is the vehicle 
by which Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) grantees report annually to the 
Foreign Trade Zones Board, pursuant to the requirements of the Foreign 
Trade Zones Act (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u). The annual reports submitted by 
grantees are the only complete source of compiled information on FTZ's. 
The data and information contained in the reports relates to 
international trade activity in FTZ's. The reports are used by the 
Congress and the Department to determine the economic effect of the FTZ 
program. The reports are also used by the FTZ Board and other trade 
policy officials to determine whether zone activity is consistent with 
U.S. international trade policy, and whether it is in the public 
interest. The public uses the information regarding activities carried 
on in FTZ's to evaluate their effect on industry sectors. The 
information contained in annual reports also helps zone grantees in 
their marketing efforts.
    Affected Public: State, local, or tribal governments or not-for-
profit institutions which are FTZ grantees.
    Frequency: Annual.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to maintain license, mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-7340.
