DOC has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13.

Bureau: International Trade

Administration.

Title: Non-Tariff Barriers Survey.

Agency Form Number: N/A.

OMB Number: N/A.

Type of Request: Regular Submission.

Burden: 33 hours.

Needs and Uses: The International

Trade Administration’s Office of

Environmental Technologies Industries

(ETI) office is the principal resource and

Department of Commerce for American

environmental technology companies.

ETI’s goal is to facilitate and increase

exports of environmental technologies,

goods and services by providing support

and guidance to U.S. exporters. One

aspect of increasing exports is to reduce

trade barriers and non-tariff measures.

ETI works closely with the Office of the

U.S. Trade Representative on trade

negotiations and trade liberalization

initiatives. The information collected

will be used to evaluate the Asia Pacific

Economic Cooperation (APEC) trade

liberalization with the World Trade

ETI’s office. The type of information

asked on the survey includes such items

as (1) name of firm; (2) country of

interest; and (3) a list of non-tariff

barriers for environmental products in

the respondents sales territory. This

information will allow ETI to maintain

a current, up-to-date list of non-tariff

measures that create trade barriers for

U.S. exports of environmental goods

and services.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The Census Bureau conducts the SIPP

which is a household-based survey

designed as a continuous series of

national panels. New panels are

introduced every few years with each

panel usually having durations of one to

four years. Respondents are interviewed

at 4-month intervals or ‘‘waves’’ over

the life of the panel. The survey is

molded around a central ‘‘core’’ of labor

force and income questions that remain

fixed throughout the life of the panel.

The core is supplemented with

questions designed to address specific

needs, such as obtaining information on

taxes, the ownership and contributions

made to an Individual Retirement

Account, Keogh, and 401K plans,

examining patterns in respondent work

schedules, and child care arrangements.

These supplemental questions are

included with the core and are referred

to as ‘‘topical modules.’’

The SIPP represents a source of

information for a wide variety of topics

and allows information for separate
