The petitions were submitted

pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade Act

of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341). Consequently,

the United States Department of

Commerce has initiated separate

investigations to determine whether

increased imports into the United States

of articles like or directly competitive

with those produced by each firm

contributed importantly to total or

partial separation of the firm’s workers,

or threat thereof, and to a decrease in

sales or production of each petitioning

firm.

Any party having a substantial

interest in the proceedings may request

a public hearing on the matter. A

request for a hearing must be received

by Trade Adjustment Assistance, Room

7315, Economic Development

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, Washington, DC 20230, no

later than the close of business of the

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket A(32(c)–11–2001)]

Scope Determination Regarding the

Effect on Foreign-Trade Zone Board

Orders Resulting From Modifications

to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

the United States

Summary: Pursuant to section 400.32

(c) of the FTZ Board regulations (15 CFR

part 400), it has been determined that

the scope of FTZ Board Orders will not

be affected by the January 2002

modification of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

As proposed, on January 1, 2002,

modifications will take effect that will

change the HTSUS classification

numbers for certain product categories.

Some Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) Board

Orders, particularly orders relating to oil

refinery subzones, contain references to

HTSUS numbers. Such references were

intended to describe types of products

that were either included in or excluded

from the scope of Board actions. The

scope of FTZ Board Orders will

continue to apply to those products as

described in the orders and related

appendices, even though the HTSUS

number describing the product may

change. The scope of FTZ Board Orders

should be interpreted as applying to the

new HTSUS numbers based on the cross

reference table published in the

International Trade Commission’s (ITC)

report, ‘‘Proposed Modifications to the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

67184 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 249 / Friday, December 28, 2001 / Notices

United States’’ (USITC Publication

3430, June 2001). The full report is

available on the ITC website: http://

www.usitc.gov/332s/

332index.htm#SECTION 1205.

Background: In November 1999, the

ITC opened investigation No. 1205–5,

Proposed Modifications to the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States, in accordance with

Section 1205 of the Omnibus Trade and

Competitiveness Act of 1988. Under

Section 1205, the ITC is charged with

reviewing the HTS and recommending

modifications when amendments are

adopted by the World Customs

Organization. The majority of current

modifications to the tariff schedule are

the result of sessions that took place

between October 1993 and May 1999.

Any changes to tariff rates are

independent of the modification.

The following table provides an

example of the HTSUS changes relating

to FTZ Board Orders for oil refinery

subzones. It is not inclusive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

ITA provides numerous export

promotion programs to help U.S.

businesses. These programs include

information products, services, and

trade events. To accomplish its mission

effectively, ITA needs ongoing feedback

on its programs. These information

collection items allow ITA to solicit

clients opinions about the use of ITA

products, services, and trade events.

The information is used for program

improvement, strategic planning,

allocation of resources, and performance

measures.

The surveys are part of ITAs effort to

implement objectives of the National

Performance Review (NPR) and

Government Performance and Results

Act (GPRA). Responses to the surveys

will meet the needs of ITA performance

measures based on NPR and GPRA

guidelines. These performance measures

will serve as a basis for justifying and

allocating human and financial

resources.

Survey responses will acquaint ITA

managers with firms perceptions and

assessments of export-assistance

products and services. Also, the surveys

will enable ITA to track the performance

of overseas posts. This information is

critical for improving the programs.

Survey responses are used to assess

client satisfaction, determine priorities,

and identify areas where service levels

and benefits differ from client

expectations. Clients benefit because the

information is used to improve services

provided to the public. Without this

information, ITA is unable to

systematically determine client

perceptions about the quality and

benefit of its export-promotion

programs.

II. Method of Data Collection

ITA faxes, mails, emails or telephones

surveys to clients and is developing

electronic delivery and collection

methods as well.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0625–0217.

Form Number: ITA–4108P–A1, ITA–

4110P, etc.

Type of Review: Revision-regular

submission.

Affected Public: ITA clients that

purchased products and services.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

20,780.

Estimated Time Per Response: Range

from 05–60 minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 3,298.

Estimated Total Annual Costs: The

estimated annual cost for this collection

is $197,880.00 ($115,430.00 for

respondents and $ 82,450.00 for the

federal government).

IV. Request for Comments

Comments are invited on (a) whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden

(including hours and costs) of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including through the

use of automated collection techniques

or forms of information technology.

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for OMB

approval of this information collection;

they also will become a matter of public

record.
