Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Distribution of Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset to
Affected Domestic Producers.
OMB Number: 1651-0086.
Form Number: CBP Form 7401.
Abstract: This collection of information is used by CBP to make
distributions of funds pursuant to the Continued Dumping and Subsidy
Offset Act of 2000 (CDSOA). 19 U.S.C. 1675c (repealed by the Deficit
Reduction Act of 2005, Public Law 109-171, 7601 (Feb. 8, 2006)). This
Act prescribes the administrative procedures under which antidumping
and countervailing duties assessed on imported products are distributed
to affected domestic producers that petitioned for or supported the
issuance of the order under which the duties were assessed. The amount
of any distribution afforded to these domestic producers is based on
certain qualifying expenditures that they incur after the issuance of
the order or finding up to the effective date of the CDSOA's repeal,
October 1, 2007. This distribution is known as the continued dumping
and subsidy offset. The claims process for the CDSOA program is
provided for in 19 CFR 159.61 and 159.63.
A notice is published in the Federal Register in June of each year
in order to inform claimants that they can make claims under the CDSOA.
In order to make a claim under the CDSOA, CBP Form 7401 may be used.
This form is accessible at and can be submitted electronically through
https://www.pay.gov/paygov/forms/formInstance.html?agencyFormId=8776895.
Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the
expiration date and to revise the burden hours as a result of updated
estimates of the number of CDSOA claims prepared on an annual basis.
There are no changes to the information collected.
Type of Review: Extension (with a change to the burden hours).
