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).

[[Page 15412]]

    Title: Licensing Exemptions and Exclusions.
    OMB Control Number: None.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 14,576.
    Number of Respondents: 2,182.
    Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes to 60 hours.
    Needs and Uses: This collection of information will consolidate ten 
existing BIS information collections into one new collection. All of 
these existing collections implement export licensing exceptions or 
exclusions in which an exporter may chose to exchange a requirement to 
obtain an individual validated export license with a reporting and/or 
recordkeeping requirement. These exclusions and exceptions are designed 
to reduce burden in approved collection, OMB Control No. 0694-0088 
``Simplified Network Application Process and Multipurpose Application 
Form.'' The existing collection authorities that are being consolidated 
are--OMB Control Nos.
    1. 0694-0023--Written Assurances for Exports of Technical Data 
under License Exception TSR.
    2. 0694-0025--Short Supply--Unprocessed Western Red Cedar.
    3. 0694-0029--License Exception TMP: Special Requirements.
    4. 0694-0033--Humanitarian Donations.
    5. 0694-0086--Report of Sample Shipments of Chemical Weapons 
Precursors.
    6. 0694-0101--One-time Report For Foreign Software or Technology 
Eligible For De Minimis Exclusion.
    7. 0694-0104--Commercial Encryption Items under the Jurisdiction of 
the Department of Commerce.
    8. 0694-0106--Recordkeeping Requirements under the Wassenaar 
Arrangement.
    9. 0694-0123--Prior Notification of Exports under License Exception 
AGR.
    10. 0694-0133--Thermal Imaging Camera Reporting.
    The consolidation of these collections will reduce the cost of 
renewing 10 individual collections every three years and also make it 
easier to add additional exclusions and exceptions as revisions to an 
existing collection. BIS will discontinue the ten collections when this 
new collection is authorized.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: Jasmeet Seehra, (202) 395-3123.

collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
