Title: Distribution of Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset to
Affected Domestic Producers (CDSOA).
OMB Number: 1651-0086.
Form Number: 7401.
Abstract: This collection of information is required to implement
the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (CDSOA). This Act
prescribes the administrative procedures, including the time and
manner, under which antidumping and countervailing duties assessed on
imported products are distributed to affected domestic producers that
petitioned for or supported the issuance of the order under which the
duties were assessed. The amount of any distribution afforded to these
domestic producers is based upon certain qualifying expenditures that
they incur after the issuance of the order or finding. This
distribution is known as the continued dumping and subsidy offset. The
claims process for the CDSOA program is provided for in 19 CFR 159.61
and 159.63.
CBP Form 7401 captures the information from claimants that CBP
needs to determine how the distributions are made. This form is
published in the Federal Register each year in order to inform
claimants that they can make claims under the CDSOA program and also
provide them with a copy of the form. The form can also be submitted
electronically through http://www.pay.gov.
In order to expedite the distribution process, CBP proposes to add
two data elements to both the paper form and the electronic form,
including: ``Start Date of Qualifying Expenditures'' and ``End Date of
Qualifying Expenditures''.
Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the
expiration date with a revision to Form 7401 and to the on-line
application.
Type of Review: Revision and extension of an existing information
collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,000.
