SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This collection of information is 

required as the result of the amending 

of the Export Administration 

Regulations (15 CFR parts 730–799) 

(EAR) by revising the (EAR) 

requirements for exports and reexports 

contained in Sections 1211–1215 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act 

(NDAA) for fiscal year 1998 (Public Law 

105–85, 111 Stat. 1629), signed by the 

President on November 18, 1997. There 

is one component of this information 

collection authorization, a postshipment report on the export of high 

performance computers,as well as 

exports of items used to enhance 

previously exported or reexported 

computers, to Tier 3 countries, where 

the CTP is greater than 85,000 MTOPS 

for commodities shipped on or after 

March 20, 2001. (For commodities 

shipped prior to that date, lower 

reporting thresholds apply, per 15 CFR 

Parts 740.7 and 742.12.) Exporters are 

required to provide a written report to 

BIS no later than the last day of the 

month following the month in which 

the export takes place. To simplify this 

process, BIS is developing an electronic 

form that will incorporate the relevant 

data elements and replace the written 

report, thereby standardizing the data 

format for the applicant, and enabling 

the use of information technology in the 

processing of the data.

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c)

how to reduce and/or consolidate the

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they will also become a matter of public
