the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-
13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(C)(2)(A)).

    Average Hours Per Response: 40.

unfair practices. Form ITA-366P--Format for Petition Requesting Relief

potential petitioners that believe that an industry in the United 
States is being injured because a foreign competitor is being 
subsidized unfairly. Since a variety of detailed information is

least burdensome manner possible.
