Agency Form Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance the following proposal for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of the Census.
    Title: Shipper's Export Declaration.
    Form Number(s): 7513
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0001
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 23,817 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 10,000.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 11 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Shipper's Export Declarations (SED's) are required 
from exporters for all shipments valued over $2500 from the United 
States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to all foreign 
countries except Canada; between the United States and Puerto Rico; and 
from the United States or Puerto Rico to the U.S. Virgin Islands. 
Information on the cargo, its origin and destination, and method and 
date of export are requested. Customs officials gather the SED forms 
from export carriers and transmit them to the Census Bureau. The 
vertical SED, Form 7525-V, is the standard form used to collect these 
data. Carriers must file Form 7513 for merchandise shipped in bond by 
vessel through the United States enroute from one foreign country to 
another without having been entered as an import (in-transit goods). 
SED's are the basic source of the official U.S. export statistics 
compiled by the Census Bureau. These statistics provide data for the 
merchandise trade balance, a major economic indicator and component of 
the gross domestic product.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households, farms, businesses or 
other for-profit institutions, Federal agencies or employees, non-
profit institutions, small businesses or organizations.
    Frequency: On occassion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, (202) 395-7313.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Gerald Tache, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, (202)

    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Maria Gonzalez, OMB Desk Officer, room 
10201, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: September 20, 1994.
