I. Abstract

    This collection is needed to provide a procedure for persons or 
organizations listed on the Entity List and Unverified List to request 
removal or modification of the entry that affects them. The Entity List 
appears at 15 CFR part 744, Supp. No. 4, and the Unverified List 
appears at 15 CFR part 744, Supp. No. 6. The Entity List and Unverified 
List are used to inform the public of certain parties whose presence in 
a transaction that is subject to the Export Administration Regulations 
(15 CFR parts 730-799) requires a license from the Bureau of Industry 
and Security (BIS). Requests for removal from the Entity List would be 
reviewed by the Departments of Commerce, State, and Defense, and Energy 
and Treasury as appropriate. The interagency decision, as communicated 
to the requesting entity by BIS, would be the final agency action on 
such a request. Requests for removal from the Unverified List would be 
reviewed by the Department of Commerce. The decision, as communicated 
to the requesting entity by BIS, would be the final agency action on 
such a request. This is a voluntary collection.
