SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Automated Export System (AES), 

is the instrument used for collecting 

export trade information. The data 

collected from this source is compiled 

by the U.S. Census Bureau and 

functions as the basis for the official 

U.S. export trade statistics. These 

statistics are used to determine the 

balance of international trade, and are 

also designated for use as a principal 

economic indicator. Title 13, United 

States Code (U.S.C.), Chapter 9, Section 

301 authorizes the Census Bureau to 

collect, compile and publish export 

trade data. Title 15, Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), Part 30, contains the 

regulatory provisions for preparing and 

filing the AES record. These data are 

used in the development of U.S. 

Government policies that affect the 

economy. These data also enable U.S. 

businesses to develop practical export 

marketing strategies as well as provide 

a means for the assessment of the 

impact of exports on the domestic 

economy. These data collected from the 

AES record are also used for export 

control purposes under Title 50, U.S.C., 

Export Administration Act, to detect 

and prevent the export of certain items 

by unauthorized parties or to 

unauthorized destinations or end users. 

The Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) 

were published on June 2, 2008, and 

were implemented September 30, 2008. 

These regulations require the mandatory 

filing of export information through the 

AES or AESDirect. Currently, the 

Foreign Trade Regulations are being 

amended to reflect new export reporting 

requirements. 

The Census Bureau plans to publish 

a Notice of Proposed Rule (NPR) 

addressing these changes and giving the
