Sec. 748.1  General provisions.

    (a) Scope. In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 
CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. The provisions of this part involve 
applications, whether submitted in writing or electronically, for 
classifications, advisory opinions or licenses subject to the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR). All terms, conditions, provisions, and 
instructions, including the applicant and consignee certifications, 
contained in such form(s) are incorporated as part of the EAR. For the 
purposes of this part, the term ``application'' refers to the Form BXA-
748P: Multipurpose Application or its electronic equivalent. If a 
provision contained in this part relates solely to a license application 
the term ``license application'' will appear.
    (b) BXA responses. BXA will give a formal classification, advisory 
opinion or licensing decision only through the review of a properly 
completed application supported by all relevant facts and required 
documentation submitted in writing or electronically to BXA.
    (c) Confidentiality. Consistent with section 12(c) of the Export 
Administration Act, as amended, information obtained for the purposes of 
considering license applications, and other information obtained by the 
U.S. Department of Commerce concerning license applications, will not be 
made available to the public without the approval of the Secretary of 
Commerce.
