SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The International Trade Administration's Global Markets (GM) is 
seeking approval to renew the currently approved OMB control number: 
0625-0143. These collections include all client intake, events/
activities and export success forms. This comprehensive information 
collection will cover all aspects of a U.S. organization's life-cycle 
with GM.
    GM is mandated by Congress to help U.S. organizations, particularly 
small and medium-sized organizations, export their products and 
services to global markets. As part of its mission, GM provides market 
entry/expansion services and trade events to U.S. organizations.
    The Domestic and International Clients Export Services and 
Customized Forms are needed to collect information to enable, but not 
limited to small and medium sized, U.S. organizations to efficiently 
and effectively enhance their ability to determine which international 
organizations are most suited for their exporting expansion efforts.
    The key to effectively and efficiently assist U.S. organizations 
export is identifying and verifying potential international buyers of 
U.S. goods and services. The categories of questions are: Contact 
information, organization information, organization type, agreements 
and confirmations, objectives, products and services, exporting 
experience, marketing, events and activities, trade fair/show, 
certified trade missions, trade missions, advocacy, environment, and 
education. GM asks only those questions that provide the required 
information to assist GM in fulfilling a client's objective for a 
requested service and/or event/activity.
    As GM moves forward, we understand the importance and need for 
strategic planning and integration of future technology and initiatives 
that relate to GM programs and metrics with the types of information 
collected from clients to conduct those programs. Additionally, the 
most important,

questions to assist clients with their exporting needs regarding 
matchmaking services, organization promotions, trade missions, market 
research and other trade promotional activities.
