                    In its FY 2010 Performance Plan (available on the agency's Internet server at                     *http://www.usitc.gov/​press_​room/​documents/​budget_​2010.pdf),*                     the Commission set itself the goal of obtaining feedback on the effectiveness of its exclusion orders issued under 19 U.S.C. 1337. The proposed survey is directed to entities that have obtained an outstanding exclusion order, and asks each such entity that responds to the survey to: (i) Evaluate whether the exclusion order has prevented the importation of items covered by the order; (ii) if not, estimate what are the absolute value and effect in the United States market of such imports; and (iii) indicate what experience it has had in policing the exclusion order, particularly with respect to any investigatory efforts and any interactions with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.                

Responses to the survey are voluntary. The Commission estimates that the survey will require less than one hour to complete.

By order of the Commission.
