Abstract: SelectUSA, within the International Trade Administration, provides programs and services that focus on facilitating job-creating business investment into the United States and raising awareness of the critical role that economic development plays in the U.S. economy. These programs include information products, services, and trade events to potential foreign investors into the United States and to U.S.-based economic development organizations. To accomplish its mission effectively, SelectUSA requires detailed information from clients in order to provide resources and services that meet each specific client’s needs. This information collection item allows ITA to solicit clients’ interest for the use of ITA products, services, and trade events. To promote optimal use and effective response to client needs through ITA services and programs, we are requesting approval for this clearance package; including: use of Comment Cards (i.e. transactional-based surveys) to collect input immediately prior to ITA assistance being provided to clients; use of multiple data collection methods (i.e. web-enabled surveys sent via email, telephone interviews, automated telephone surveys, and in-person surveys via mobile devices/laptops/tablets at trade events/shows) to enable clients to conveniently respond to requests for input; and a forecast of burden hours. Without this information, ITA is unable to systematically determine the actual and relative levels of user needs for its programs and products/services and to provide clear, actionable insights for client use. This information will be used for strategic planning, allocation of resources, and stakeholder reporting.
