therefore necessary to analyze foreign 

censorships impacts on (1) employment, 

(2) direct costs to businesses (e.g., 

compliance and entry costs), (3) 

foregone revenue and sales, (4) selfcensorship, and (5) other effects the 

Commission considers relevant to 

respond to the Committee’s request. The 

Commission is scheduled to deliver its 

report to the Committee by July 5, 2022. 

The Commission intends to submit 

the following draft information 

collection plan to OMB: 

(1) Number of forms submitted: 1. 

(2) Title of form: Foreign Censorship 

Questionnaire. 

(3) Type of request: New. 

(4) Frequency of use: Industry 

questionnaire, single data gathering, 

scheduled for 2021. 

(5) Description of respondents: U.S. 

businesses operating in China. 

(6) Estimated number of questionnaire 

requests to be mailed: 3,790. 

(7) Estimated total number of hours to 

complete the questionnaire per 

respondent: 15 hours. 

(8) Information obtained from the 

questionnaire that qualifies as 

confidential business information will 

be so treated by the Commission and not 

disclosed in a manner that would reveal 

the individual operations of a business. 

Copies of the draft questionnaire and 

other supplementary documents may be 

downloaded from the USITC website at
