FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Agency Clearance Officer, Ms. Jeannette Giovetti, United States
Information Agency, M/ADD, 301 Fourth Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.
20547, telephone (202) 619-4408, internet address [email protected];
and OMB review: Ms. Victoria Wassmer, Office of Information And
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless
it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this
collection of information was published on April 9, 1996 (vol, 61, no.
69). Public reporting burden for this collection of information (Paper
Work Reduction Project: OMB No. 3116-0007) is estimated to average 25
minutes per response. Respondents are required to respond only one
time, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing
data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing
and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding
this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of
information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the
United States Information Agency, M/ADD, 301 Fourth Street, S.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20547; and to the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office
Building, Docket Library, Room 10202, NEOB, Washington, D.C. 20503.
Current Actions: This information collection has been submitted to
OMB for the purpose of extending the expiration date and announcing the
following changes:
(1) The Public Use form for this Information Collection (IAP-17)
has undergone two revisions: The microfilm section on the reverse side
of the form has been removed as it is no longer required; and the
spelling of ``Materials'' has been corrected under the ``Description of
Model'' section.
(2) Under the previous submission the ``number of respondents'' was
listed as 2000 and the ``total annual burden'' as 834. Under the
current proposed submission, the number of respondents is 400 and the
total annual burden is 259. The adjustment in the number of annual
hours is due to the fact that there has been a decrease in the number
of organizations/individuals submitting applications (number of
respondents) for certification. This decrease may be the result of the
North American Free Trade agreement between the United States, Canada,
and Mexico. Canada is the United States' major trading party with
respect to audiovisual materials.
Title: ``Application for Certificate of International Educational
Character''.
Form Numbers: IAP-17.
Abstract: This information collection is used to certify the
international character of visual and auditory materials (motion
pictures, videotapes, recordings, sound recordings, filmstrips, slides,
maps, charts, posters, models, etc.) for producers and distributors who
have an interest in exporting their materials abroad in accordance with
the provisions of P.L. 89-634 and E.O. 11311.
