SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This collection of information involves miscellaneous licensing and 
reporting requirements as well as enforcement activities that are 
associated with the export, reexport or transfer of items controlled by 
the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). BIS 
is revising the title of this collection of information to better 
reflect the scope of requirements associated with licensing and 
enforcement found in Parts 744, 748 and 758 of the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR). Some of these activities involve 
submission of documents to BIS as well as exchange of documents among 
parties in the export transaction to ensure that each party understands 
its obligations under U.S. law. Others involve writing certain export 
control statements on shipping documents or reporting unforeseen 
changes in shipping and disposition of exported commodities. Many of 
these activities are needed by the Office of Export Enforcement and 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to document export 
transactions, enforce the EAR and protect the National Security of the 
United States.
