Department of Commerce Requests Comments on Export Services Forms
The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced a request for public comments on its revised information collection for export services forms. This review is being conducted by the International Trade Administration (ITA).
The request was published in the Federal Register on September 26, 2025. The ITA helps U.S. businesses by providing services that make it easier to export goods and work in markets outside the country.
Details of the Information Collection
The form is known as “Domestic and International Clients Export Services & Customized Forms.” It is being revised and needs new approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The OMB control number for this collection is 0625-0143.
There are no specific form numbers. The total number of expected respondents is 100,020. Each response is expected to take about 10 minutes. The yearly burden is estimated to be 34,133 hours.
Purpose and Use of Collected Information
Congress requires ITA to help more U.S. companies export and to encourage foreign companies to invest in the United States. The ITA offers help to U.S. companies, such as finding business partners in other countries, setting up meetings, and preparing reports on possible foreign partners.
Some ITA services are customized for unique business needs. These forms help ITA know how to assist each business.
Information can be shared and collected online or by paper. U.S. companies can show interest through forms on the ITA website, web-based surveys, or paper forms.
Who Can Respond
The affected groups are:
- Businesses or for-profit organizations
- Not-for-profit institutions
- State, local, or tribal governments
Submitting these forms is voluntary and only needed when a business wants ITA’s help.
Legal Authority
The legal authority for this information collection comes from Public Law 15 U.S.C. et seq and 15 U.S.C. 171 et seq.
