Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

The Department of Commerce will submit 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 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Agency: International Trade Administration (ITA).

Title: Commercial Service-Strategic User Satisfaction Surveys.

Form Number(s): ITA-4157P.

OMB Control Number: 0625-0262.

Type of Request: Regular submission.

Burden Hours: 375.

Number of Respondents: 1,500.

Needs and Uses: The U.S. Commercial Service (CS) is mandated by Congress to help U.S. businesses, particularly small and medium-sized companies, export their products and services to global markets. Additionally, the CS plays a leading role in achieving the President's National Export Initiative and doubling exports within five years. To achieve its mission, the CS provides U.S. businesses with a range of export assistance services and resources including export counseling from one of our domestic Export Assistance Centers, educational webinars and seminars, an export-focused Web site ( http://www.export.gov ), a trade-related help line (1-800-USA-TRAD(E)), international industry research, international business partner match-making services and basic due diligence services on potential international partners.

The CS relies on client feedback to guide the development of services to meet clients' needs and to improve the effectiveness of its export assistance services. The CS uses the two collection instruments ("U.S. Commercial Service Perception and Awareness Survey" and the "U.S. Commercial Service Customer Satisfaction Survey") to: (1) Assess our marketing and promotional activities; and (2) measure clients' overall satisfaction with the full array of services and experiences they have had with the CS on an annual basis.
