SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    License Exception TMP of the Export Administration Regulations (15 
CFR 740.8) authorizes temporary (not more than one year) exports and 
reexports of some commodities and software in some situations in which 
a license otherwise would be required. Information not covered by any 
other approved collection is obtained from the public in two situations 
covered by this collection. The first situation is when the exporter or 
reexporter wishes to keep the commodities or software abroad for more 
than one year. In such instances, the exporter or reexporter must 
submit an application for an extension (up to six months) or to convert 
the transaction to a permanent export or reexport. The second situation 
occurs when members of the news media wish to use TMP as authorization 
to take items that otherwise would require a license to destinations in 
Country Groups D:1 or E:2 or Sudan (See 15 CFR part 740, Supp. No. 1 
for

[[Page 54613]]

the constituents of each country group). In this situation, the 
exporter or reexporter must submit a copy of the packing list or 
similar information to BIS before the export or reexport.
