73872 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2023 / Notices 

must be made through the 

Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS, https://

edis.usitc.gov). Persons with questions 

regarding filing should contact the 

Secretary at EDIS3Help@usitc.gov. 

Request for Comments 

The Commission solicits comments as 

to: (1) Whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper performance of the 

Commission’s functions, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the 

Commission’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed information collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

the quality, utility, clarity, and design of 

the information to be collected; and (4) 

minimization of the burden of the 

proposed information collection on 

those who are to respond (including 

through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological forms of information 

technology (e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses)). To the extent 

appropriate, please cite to specific 

experiences that your firm has had with 

other governmental surveys and data 

collections. 

Summary of the Proposed Information 

Collections 

(1) Need for the Proposed Information 

Collections 

The proposed information collection 

activity provides a means to garner 

qualitative customer and stakeholder 

feedback in an efficient, timely manner. 

This qualitative feedback provides 

useful insights on perceptions and 

opinions of customers and stakeholders. 

The feedback helps the Commission 

gain understanding into customer or 

stakeholder experiences and 

expectations and provides an early 

warning of issues with service, or 

focuses attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Commission and its customers and 

stakeholders and contribute directly to 

the improvement of program 

management. 

(2) Description of the Information To Be 

Collected 

The solicitation of feedback will target 

areas such as: timeliness, 

appropriateness, accuracy of 

information, courtesy, efficiency of 

service delivery, and resolution of 

issues with service delivery. Responses 

will be assessed to plan and inform 

efforts to improve or maintain the 

quality of service offered to the public. 

If this information is not collected, vital 

feedback from customers and 

stakeholders on the Agency’s services 

will be unavailable. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does not yield data that can be 

generalized to the overall population. 

This type of generic clearance for 

qualitative information will not be used 

for quantitative information collections 

that are designed to yield reliably 

actionable results, such as monitoring 

trends over time or documenting 

program performance. Such data uses 

require more rigorous designs that 

address: the target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential 

nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. As a general matter, 

information collections will not result 

in any new system of records containing 

privacy information and will not ask 

questions of a sensitive nature. 

The Agency will only submit a 

collection for approval under this 

generic clearance if it meets the 

following conditions: 

• The collections are voluntary; 

• The collections are low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and are low-cost for both 

the respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collections are 

noncontroversial and do not raise issues 

of concern to other Federal agencies; 

• Any collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future; 

• Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is not retained; 

• Information gathered will be used 

only internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

outside of the agency; 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; the collections 

will not be designed or expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or used 

as though the results are generalizable to 

the population of study. 

(3) Estimated Burden of the Proposed 

Information Collection 

The Commission estimates that 

information collections issued under the 

requested generic clearance will impose 

an average annual burden of 350 hours 

on 1000 respondents. 

No record keeping burden is known to 

result from the proposed collection of 

information.

(Final) may be viewed on the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—In March 2021, the 

Commission determined that an 

industry in the United States was 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of phosphate fertilizers that were found 

to be subsidized by the governments of 

Morocco and Russia.1 Phosphate 

Fertilizers from Morocco and Russia, 

Investigation Nos. 701–TA–650–651 

(Final), USITC Pub. 5172 (March 2021). 

Several respondent parties contested the 

Commission’s determinations in two 

separate actions, which were later 

consolidated, before the U.S. Court of 

International Trade (‘‘CIT’’). The CIT 

remanded for reconsideration the 

Commission’s factual finding regarding 

the feasibility of reshipment of 

phosphate fertilizer from one 

destination to another. OCP S.A. v. 

United States, Consolidated Court No. 

21–00219, Slip Op. 23–136 (Ct. Int’l 

Trade, September 19, 2023). 

Participation in the remand 

proceedings.—Only those persons who 

were interested parties that participated 

in the investigations (i.e., persons listed 

on the Commission Secretary’s service 

list) and were also parties to the appeal 

may participate in the remand 

proceedings. Such persons need not file 

any additional appearances with the 

Commission to participate in the 

remand proceedings, unless they are 

adding new individuals to the list of 

persons entitled to receive business 

proprietary information (‘‘BPI’’) under 

administrative protective order. BPI 

referred to during the remand 

proceedings will be governed, as 

appropriate, by the administrative 

protective order issued in the 

investigations. The Secretary will 

maintain a service list containing the 

names and addresses of all persons or 

their representatives who are parties to 

the remand proceedings, and the 

Secretary will maintain a separate list of 

those authorized to receive BPI under 

the administrative protective order 

during the remand proceedings. 

Written submissions.—The 

Commission is reopening the record in 

these proceedings for the limited 

purpose of issuing a short supplemental 

questionnaire to U.S. producers and 

U.S. importers. The Commission is 

otherwise not reopening the record for 

the collection of new factual 

information. The Commission will make 

available any new factual information 

obtained during the remand proceedings 

not already served to the parties in the 

investigations (as identified by the 

public of BPI service list). The 

Commission will permit the parties to 

file written comments limited to 

addressing new factual information 

obtained during the remand proceedings 

and how the Commission could best 

comply with the Court’s remand 

instructions. 

The comments must be based solely 

on the information in the Commission’s 

record. The Commission will reject 

submissions containing additional 

factual information or arguments 

pertaining to issues other those defined 

above. The deadline for filing comments 

is November 27, 2023. Comments must 

be limited to a total of twenty-five (25) 

double-spaced and single-sided pages of 

textual material for domestic interested 

parties, inclusive of attachments and 

exhibits; and a total of twenty-five (25) 

double-spaced and single-sided pages of 

textual material for respondent 

interested parties, inclusive of 

attachments and exhibits. 

Parties are advised to consult with the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, part 201, subparts A through 

E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, 

subpart A (19 CFR part 207) for 

provisions of general applicability 

concerning written submissions to the 

Commission. All written submissions 

must conform to the provisions of 

section 201.8 of the Commission’s rules; 

any submissions that contain BPI must 

also conform with the requirements of 

sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the 

Commission’s rules. Please note the 

Secretary’s Office will accept only 

electronic filings at this time. Filings 

must be made through the 

Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS, https://

edis.usitc.gov). No in-person paperbased filings or paper copies of any 

electronic filings will be accepted until 

further notice. The Commission’s 

Handbook on E-Filing, available on the 

Commission’s website at http://

edis.usitc.gov, elaborates upon the 

Commission’s rules with respect to 

electronic filing. 

Additional written submissions to the 

Commission, including requests 

pursuant to section 201.12 of the 

Commission’s rules, will not be 

accepted unless good cause is shown for 

accepting such submissions or unless 

the submission is pursuant to a specific 

request by a Commissioner or 

Commission staff. 

In accordance with sections 201.16(c) 

and 207.3 of the Commission’s rules, 

each document filed by a party to the 

investigation must be served on all other 

parties to the investigation (as identified 

by either the public or BPI service list), 

and a certificate of service must be 

timely filed. The Secretary will not 

accept a document for filing without a 

certificate of service. 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: October 24, 2023.
