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 Industry and Security (BIS).
    Title: Export License Services--Transfer of License Ownership, 
Requests for a Duplicate License.
    Agency Form Number: None.
    OMB Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: New collection of information.
    Burden: 38 hours.
    Average Time Per Response: 1 to 15 minutes per response.
    Number of Respondents: 200 respondents.
    Needs and Uses: In certain circumstances ( i.e., company mergers, 
takeovers, etc.), it is necessary to transfer ownership of licenses to 
another party, or in instances where records are lost or destroyed, to 
issue a duplicate license. In the case of a transfer of ownership, the 
information collected is necessary to ensure that all parties are aware 
of and agree to the transfer, both of the ownership as well as 
responsibilities associated with export authorizations. The issuance of 
a duplicate requires that certain actions be taken if the original 
license is found. Both are services to exporters provided to the public 
after export licenses have been issued. Both activities are currently 
approved under OMB control numbers 0694-0031 and 0694-0051. BIS wishes 
to combine these activities into one collection authority.
    Affected Public: Individuals, businesses or other for-profit 
institutions.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, (202) 
482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6025, 14th and Constitution 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.
