SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.), this document announces that the Bureau of Industry and 
Security (BIS), Department of Commerce, will submit for the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) review, a request for an emergency 
extension of currently approved Information collection requests which 
will expire on January 31, 2016. The extension is being sought to 
evaluate the need for and scope of the existing instruments. The Agency 
expects that OMB will approve these emergency extensions by January 31, 
2016 and approve any revised instruments (after appropriate notice and 
public comment periods).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the information collection instrument and instructions should 
be directed to Mark Crace, BIS ICB Liaison, (202) 482-8093, 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Over the years, BIS has worked with other Government agencies and 
the affected public to identify areas where export licensing 
requirements may be relaxed without jeopardizing U.S. national security 
or foreign policy. Many of these relaxations have taken the form of 
licensing exceptions and exclusions. Some of these license exceptions 
and exclusions have a reporting or recordkeeping requirement to enable 
the Government to continue to monitor exports of these items. Exporters 
may choose to utilize the license exception and accept the reporting or 
recordkeeping burden in lieu of submitting a license application.
