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 (44
U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A)).
Bureau: International Trade
Administration.
Title: Outside Assessment of DOC
Compliance Program.
Agency Form Number: ITA–xxxx.
OMB Number: 0625–xxxx.
Type of Request: Regular Submission.
Burden: 110.5 hours.
Number of Respondents: 274.
Avg. Hours Per Response: 2 hours for
focus group participants and 15 minutes
for survey respondents.
Needs and Uses: In 2003, the
Department of Commerce’s (DOC’s)
International Trade Administration
(ITA) conducted a bureau-wide
Customer Satisfaction Survey covering
all ITA program units, related to the
citizen-centered objectives of the
President’s Management Agenda.
The results were used to set a baseline
for performance metric reporting and
tracking and to better understand the
customer base it serves. ITA’s Market
Access and Compliance (MAC) program
survey report identified gaps between a
high level of customer awareness yet
low customer use of fair trade and
market access services. Findings also
indicated that a substantial customer
base is unaware of the specific services
that the DOC Compliance Program
offers.
In response to the survey findings,
MAC is undertaking an outside
customer service analysis to find out in
more specific terms and greater detail,
what MAC’s Trade Compliance Center’s
(TCC’s) customers’ expectations are. The
purpose of this outside assessment is to
obtain customer and potential customer
views regarding the DOC Compliance
Program to determine:
• If the TCC offers the right set of
services to assist U.S. exporters to
overcome foreign trade barriers;
• If MAC is aware of exporter needs;
• If the right MAC programs are in
place to meet identified needs; and
• If MAC services are properly
promoted to maximize efficiency and
effectiveness.
An enhanced customer satisfaction
program or other service improvements
might result from this data collection
initiative.
Affected Public: U.S. Exporters and
their Business Representatives,
