DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit 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 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: International Trade Administration.
    Title: Trade Fair Certification Program Application.
    OMB Control Number: 0625-0130.
    Form Number(s): ITA-4100P.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 360.
    Number of Respondents: 120.
    Average Hours per Response: 3.
    Needs and Uses: The Trade Fair Certification Program provides 
endorsement and support for private trade show organizers, trade 
associations, U.S. agents of foreign fair authorities, and other 
entities to organize and manage a U.S. Pavilion at a foreign trade 
show. The form is used to apply for certification of their ability to 
perform this task. The TFC Program uses information from the form to 
evaluate if both the show and the organizer meet the Department's high 
standards such as recruiting, delivering show services, attracting 
small and medium-sized firms, booth pricing, and being an appropriate 
marketing venue for U.S. firms. The form asks the organizer to respond 
to twenty-three questions ranging from simple name and address to 
pricing options to outlining their experience and marketing plans. 
Potential exhibitors look to trade fair certification to ensure they 
are participating in a viable show with a reliable organizer. The form 
also includes information on where to apply, procedures and commitment 
by the applicant to abide by the terms set forth for program 
participation.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
