Submission for OMB Review: Comment Request

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance the following proposal for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-
13.
    Bureau: International Trade Administration.
    Title: U.S. Commercial Service Trade Specialist Counseling Session 
Survey.
    Agency Form Number: ITA-XXXX.
    OMB Number: 0625-XXXX.
    Type of Request: Regular Submission.
    Burden: 170 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 1700.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration's U.S. 
Commercial Service is mandated by Congress to help U.S. businesses, 
particularly small and medium-sized companies, export their products 
and services to global markets. As part of its mission, the U.S. 
Commercial Service uses ``Quality Assurance Surveys'' to collect 
feedback from the U.S. business clients it serves. The subject survey 
deals with a particular aspect of service provided by U.S. Commercial 
Service trade specialists. These specialists counsel clients about 
their international marketing needs and work with the clients to 
provide ``global trade solutions.'' The subject survey asks clients 
whether they are satisfied with the counseling they have received from 
U.S. Commercial Service domestic trade specialists. Results from the 
survey will be used to make improvements to the agency's business 
processes, in order to provide better and more effective export 
assistance to U.S. companies.
    Affected Public: U.S. companies who have participated in counseling 
sessions with U.S. Commercial Service trade specialists.
    Frequency: Twice a year.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-7340.
    Copies of the above information collection can be obtained by 
writing Diana Hynek, Department Paperwork Clearance Officer, Department 
of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th & Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC
