DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit 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 Industry and Security (BIS).
    Title: Prior Notification of Exports Under License Exception AGR.
    OMB Control Number: 0694-0123.
    Form Number(s): BIS-748P.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 161.
    Number of Respondents: 167.
    Average Hours per Response: 58 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Section 906 of the Trade Sanctions Reform and 
Export Enhancement Act (TSRA) requires that exports of agricultural 
commodities, medicine or medical devices to Cuba or to the government 
of a country that has been determined by the Secretary of State to have 
repeatedly provide support for acts of international terrorism, or to 
any other entity in such a country, are made pursuant to one-year 
licenses issued by the U.S. Government. The TSRA further provides that 
the requirements of one-year licenses shall not be more restrictive 
than license exceptions administered by the Department of Commerce, 
except that procedures shall be in place to deny licenses for these 
exports to any country, or entity within a country, promoting 
international terrorism.
    To meet the requirements of TSRA, BIS has imposed a prior 
notification procedure under License Exception AGR, and exports and 
certain reexports of agricultural commodities will be authorized under 
License Exception AGR.
    Affected Public: Business and other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to retain or obtain benefits.
