Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; License Exemptions and Exclusions.

    The Department of Commerce will submit the following information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and 
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of 
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the 
Federal Register on June 15, 2022, during a 60-day comment period. This 
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.

    Number of Respondents: 24,411.
    Average Hours per Response: 1.46 hours.
    Burden Hours: 35,680.
    Needs and Uses: 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. These exceptions and exclusions have allowed 
exporters to ship items quickly, without having to wait for license 
approval.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Export Control Reform Act (ECRA) of 2018 (Title 
XVII, Subtitle B of Pub. L. 115-232)
