Notice of Request for Extension of a Previously Approved Information Collection and Request for Comment; Request for Comment on Designation of Confidential Information

Brief takeaway: This notice concerns an administrative renewal of the ITC's survey/questionnaire clearance and a request for public comments — it does not change tariffs, HTS classifications, or duty obligations for imported goods.

What changed: According to the notice, the U.S. International Trade Commission intends to request a three-year extension of a previously approved generic survey clearance (OMB Control No. 3117-0016) used to issue information collections for trade-remedy investigations. The notice states the current clearance expires on June 30, 2026, and that the Commission is seeking public comment on the proposed collections and on whether to revise its questionnaires in light of a cited Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decision.

Who's affected: The notice does not name specific products, HTS chapters, or countries of origin. It references investigations the Commission conducts under the Tariff Act of 1930, the Trade Act of 1974, and other trade-remedy statutes, so it may be relevant to parties who receive or respond to ITC questionnaires in such investigations.

What to review:
- Review whether your company participates in or receives questionnaires from ITC trade-remedy investigations.
- Confirm with trade counsel whether submitting a public comment may be relevant to your interests.
- Check the notice's supplementary information section for comment deadlines and submission procedures.
