Published Date: 6/24/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission is asking to renew its permission to collect info for trade investigations for another three years. This affects businesses and groups involved in trade cases like tariffs and import rules. If you have thoughts, you’ve got until July 24, 2026, to share them—no cost changes, just keeping things running smoothly!
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Data Can Lead To Import Duties or Continued Orders
Information collected under the clearance can be used in antidumping and countervailing duty investigations; an affirmative Commission determination can lead the U.S. Department of Commerce to impose duties on imports. An affirmative determination in a five-year review means an existing antidumping or countervailing duty order remains in place.
Estimated Annual Time Burden for Respondents
The Commission estimates that collections under the generic clearance will impose an average annual burden of 409,250 hours on 12,935 respondents over the next three-year clearance period. Likely respondents include businesses and farms that produce, import, purchase, or sell investigated products.
Three-Year Renewal to Collect Trade Data
The U.S. International Trade Commission is asking OMB to renew its generic clearance for three years so it can keep collecting information for trade investigations under statutes like the Tariff Act of 1930 and the Trade Act of 1974. Interested parties have until July 24, 2026 to submit comments on the renewal.
Six Specific Questionnaires Covered
The generic clearance covers six types of forms: U.S. producers' questionnaires, U.S. importers' questionnaires, U.S. purchasers' questionnaires, foreign producers'/exporters' questionnaires, Administrative Protective Order (APO) application forms, and Notices of Institution for five-year reviews. If you are a business, farm, importer, exporter, or purchaser involved in a case, you may be asked to complete one of these forms.
APO Applications Control Confidential Access
Submitting the Commission's Administrative Protective Order (APO) application form is how parties seek access to business-proprietary or confidential information in an investigation. Whether a party is granted access is based on their APO submission.
No New Recordkeeping Burden Identified
The Commission states that no new recordkeeping burden is known to result from the proposed collection of information. Existing case-specific questions are tailored to statutory and case factors.
