Needs and Uses: The Current

Industrial Reports (CIR) program is a

trade associations, and private research

and consulting organizations use these

data to make trade policy, production,

and investment decisions.

For clearance purposes, the

approximately 72 CIR surveys are

divided into ‘waves.’ Each wave has an

associated voluntary and mandatory

clearance package, making 6 separate

clearances. Each year, one wave (2

clearance packages) is submitted for

review. This year we are submitting the

voluntary and mandatory clearance

packages for wave II. There are no

planned changes to the mandatory

forms, only a request for a three-year

extension of OMB approval.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profit organizations.

Annually.
