The new supplements also set forth the requirements and process for how parties in the United States may submit objections to the granting of exclusion requests.

When this collection was initially approved as an emergency collection, burden hour estimates were cited due to the information at that time. Now that this new collection has been in place for 6 months, the Bureau has a more realistic number to estimate. Therefore, an increase in burden hours is needed to better reflect realistic numbers which were previously unknown.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
