Short Statement: The adjustment in responses and burden hours is due to an increase of respondents since the previous submission. The cost of fees-for-service from respondents was not included in the previous submission. The program changes are due to the addition of service order forms. To assist in increasing the level of U.S. exports, the CS requests the ability to utilize a form to help meet the demand for exports of U.S. goods and services. The CS also requests the ability to expand the use of the International Partner Search form for the Gold Key Service. Furthermore, the CS requests an adjustment to our burden hours for the use of the International Partner Search and International Company Profile forms to reflect increased client demand for these services. Lastly, the CS requests approval for a streamlined version of the International Company Profile form.
