DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce (DOC) has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for 
collection of information under provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of Export Administration (BXA).
    Title: Written Assurances for Exports of Technical Data Under 
License Exception TSR.
    Agency Form Number: None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0694-0023.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection of 
information.
    Burden: 103 hours.
    Average Time Per Response: 31 minutes per response.
    Number of Respondents: 200 respondents.
    Needs and Uses: The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) require 
in Section 740.6 that exporters obtain letters of assurance from their 
importers stating that technology or software will not be reexported or 
released to unauthorized destinations that are subject to controls for 
national security or foreign policy and nuclear non-proliferation 
reasons. The importer, in making these assurances acknowledges his/her 
requirement to comply with the EAR. The written assurance requirement 
of License Exception TSR (Technology and Software Under Restriction) 
provides greater security for the protection of U.S. origin technology 
and software that becomes incorporated into foreign products.
    Affected Public: Individuals, businesses or other for-profit 
institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker.
