information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Agency: International Trade Administration (ITA).
Title: Request for Duty Free Entry of Scientific Instruments or 
Apparatus.
Form Number: Agency: ITA-338P; OMB Number: 0625-0037.
Type of Request: Extension of the expiration date.
Burden: 600 hours; 150 respondents (300 responses); Avg. Hours Per 
Response is 2 hours.
Needs and Uses: The United States is a signatory to the Florence 
Agreement, a UNESCO sponsored Agreement on the importation of 
education, scientific, and cultural materials. Under the implementing 
statute, the Departments of Commerce and Treasury share the 
responsibility of determining whether or not institutions are entitled 
to duty-free treatment. This form is an application for such waiver and 
provides the information necessary for agency findings required by 
statute.
Affected Public: Not for-profit institutions; federal government; 
state, local or tribal governments.

Type of Request: Extension of the expiration date.
Burden: 417 hours; 390 respondents (5,000 responses): Avg. Hours Per

Needs and Uses: Congress, when it enacted legislation to implement the 
Nairobi Protocol the Florence Agreement, included a provision for the 
Departments of Treasury and Commerce to collect information on the

the event domestic injury resulted. The data collected on this form 
assists the U.S. Government and domestic industry to assess injury.
