# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Abstract

The Departments of Commerce (DOC) and Homeland Security (DHS) are required to determine whether nonprofit institutions established for scientific or educational purposes are entitled to duty-free entry for scientific instruments the institutions import under the Florence Agreement. Form ITA-338P enables: (1) DHS to determine whether the statutory eligibility requirements for the institution and the instrument are fulfilled, and (2) DOC to make a comparison and finding as to the scientific equivalency of comparable instruments being manufactured in the United States. Without the collection of the information, DHS and DOC would not have the necessary information to carry out the responsibilities of determining eligibility for duty-free entry assigned by law.

## II. Method of Collection

                    A copy of Form ITA-338P is provided on and downloadable from a Web site at                     *http://ia.ita.doc.gov/​sips/​appform.html*                     or the potential applicant may request a copy from the Department. The applicant completes the form and then forwards it via mail to DHS.                

Upon acceptance by DHS as a valid application, the application is transmitted to Commerce for further processing.
