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! ## Abstract Consistent with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission) has submitted a proposal for the collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval. The proposed information collection is a three-year extension of the current generic clearance (approved by OMB under Control No. 3117-0016) under which the Commission can issue information collections for investigations and reviews that it is required to conduct under the Tariff Act of 1930, the Trade Act of 1974, and other trade remedy statutes that require or authorize the Commission to make findings or determinations. These investigations and reviews include: antidumping duty, countervailing duty, safeguards, other import competition, market disruption, interference with programs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and cross-border long-haul trucking. A full list of all the investigations and reviews associated with this generic clearance and their associated statutory authorities is available in the Commission's supporting statement to this Federal Register notice. Any comments submitted to OMB on the proposed information collection should be specific, indicating which part of the questionnaires or study plan are objectionable, describing the issue in detail, and including specific revisions or language changes. ## Effects PRIA read - Three-Year Renewal to Collect Trade Data: cost, medium. 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… - Six Specific Questionnaires Covered: cost, low. 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.… - Data Can Lead To Import Duties or Continued Orders: cost, high. 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… - APO Applications Control Confidential Access: benefit, low. 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. - Estimated Annual Time Burden for Respondents: cost, high. 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. - No New Recordkeeping Burden Identified: benefit, low. 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. ## Related documents - [2026-20752](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20752): Certain Hydrodermabrasion Systems and Components Thereof; Notice of Vacatur of the Commission's Final Determination and Mootness of the Inv…, 2026-10-09 - [2026-20672](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20672): Certain Mobile Electronic Devices and Components Thereof; Institution of Investigation, 2026-10-08 - [2026-20609](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20609): Oleoresin Paprika From India; Determinations, 2026-10-08 - [2026-20673](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20673): Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe From Czechia, Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine; Scheduling of Full Five-Y…, 2026-10-08 - [2026-20614](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20614): Forged Steel Fittings From India and South Korea; Cancellation of Hearing for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Reviews, 2026-10-08 - [2026-20349](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-20349): Railway Tank Cars and Parts Thereof From Mexico; Institution of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations and Scheduling of Prelim…, 2026-10-05 ## Sources - [2026-12710 on federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/06/24/2026-12710/agency-information-collection-activities-submission-for-omb-review-renewal-of-generic-clearance) - [2026-12710 as published (PDF)](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-06-24/pdf/2026-12710.pdf) ## Related - [Previous: 2026-12709, Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC; Holtec Pilgrim, LLC; Holtec Indian P…](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-12709) - [Next: 2026-12713, Ampersand Kayuta Lake Hydro, LLC; Notice of Authorization for Continued Project…](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-12713) - [All Federal Register documents](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register) Source: PRIA, https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-12710 (as of 2026-07-01).
