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: National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
    Agency Form Number: BXA-742R, BXA-742S.
    OMB Approval Number: 0694-0107.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection of 
information.
    Burden: 35 hours.
    Average Time Per Response: 15 minutes per response.
    Number of Respondents: 140 respondents.
    Needs and Uses: This collection of information is required as the 
result of the amending of the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR 
parts 730-799) (EAR) by revising the (EAR) requirements for exports and 
reexports contained in sections 1211-1215 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 1998 (Pub. L. 105-85, 111 
Stat. 1629), signed by the President on November 18, 1997. The Bureau 
of Export Administration (BXA) needs the information in this collection 
to fulfill two requirements of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 1998 (NDAA). Those requirements are: (1) Proposed 
exports and reexports of high performance computers to specific 
countries must be reviewed by enumerated government agencies prior to 
the export and (2) that the government conduct a ``post shipment 
verification'' of each high performance computer exported to those 
countries after November 17, 1997. Both of these requirements are new 
and were imposed by the Congress with the passage of the NDAA. To 
simplify the latter, BXA has developed a new form that will incorporate 
the relevant data elements and replace the written report, thereby 
standardizing the data format for the applicant, and enabling the use 
of information technology in the processing of the data.
    Affected Public: Individuals, businesses or other for-profit 
institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Madeleine Clayton, DOC Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-3129, Department of Commerce, Room 6086, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10202, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20230.

    Dated: January 10, 2002.
Madeleine Clayton,
Departmental Paperwork Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief 
Information Officer.
