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: Commercial Service Client 

Focus Groups. 

Agency Form Number: ITA–XXXX. 

OMB Number: 0625–XXXX. 

Type of Request: Regular Submission. 

Burden: 192 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 96. 

Avg. Hours Per Response: 10 minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The International 

Trade Administration’s U.S. 

Commercial Service is mandated by 

Congress to help U.S. businesses, 

particularly small and medium-sized 

companies, export their products and 

services to global markets. As part of its 

mission, the U.S. Commercial Service 

uses ‘‘Quality Assurance Surveys’’ to 

collect feedback from the U.S. business 

clients it serves. These surveys ask the 

client to evaluate the U.S. Commercial 

Service on its customer service 

provision. Results from the surveys are 

used to make improvements to the 

agency’s business processes in order to 

provide better and more effective export 

assistance to U.S. companies. In 

addition to collecting client feedback 

through Quality Assurance Surveys, the 

U.S. Commercial Service would like to 

institutionalize client focus groups as 

another mechanism to obtain further 

client feedback and substantiate 

customer service trends we are seeing in 

the surveys. Client focus groups will 

enrich the quantitative data of surveys 

by providing a qualitative context for 

the trends that emerge. The purpose of 

the attached client focus group 

questioning routes is to collect feedback 

from U.S. businesses that receive export 

assistance services from the U.S. 

Commercial Service. In providing these 

services, the U.S. Commercial Service 

promotes the goods and services of 

small and medium-sized U.S. 

companies in foreign markets. 

Affected Public: U.S. companies that 

are recruited by the U.S. Commercial 

Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Public Law 97–446, as amended by 

Public Law 103–465, Public Law 106–36 

and Public Law 108–429, requires the 

Departments of Commerce and the 

Interior to administer the distribution of 

watch duty-exemptions and watch and 

jewelry duty-refunds to program 

producers in the U.S. insular 

possessions and the Northern Mariana 

Islands. The primary consideration in 

collecting information is the 

enforcement of the laws and the 

information gathered is limited to that 

necessary to prevent abuse of the 

program and to permit a fair and 

equitable distribution of its benefits. 

Form ITA–334P is the principal 

program form used for recording 

operational data which are the bases for 

determining program entitlements and 

their distribution among the producers. 

This form also serves as the producer’s 

application to the Departments for these 

entitlements. The form is completed 

biannually by watch and jewelry 

manufacturers. We propose modifying 

the form and the title of the form due 

to the passage of Public Law 106–36 and 

Public Law 108–429. Also, due to the 

passage of Public Law 108–429, new 

paperwork requirements need to be 

added to Form ITA–334P. Without the 

additional data, it would not be possible 

to calculate the further benefits 

mandated by law. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Department of Commerce sends 

Form ITA–334P to each watch and 

jewelry producer biannually. A 

company official completes the form
