Avg Hours Per Response: 7513, 7525-

V & 7525-V Alt.—11 minutes AES &

AERP—3 minutes.

Needs and Uses: The Shipper’s Export

Declaration (SEDs), Forms 7525-V,

7525-V Alternate (Intermodal), and their

electronic equivalents, the Automated

Export Reporting Program (AERP) and

the Automated Export System (AES), are

the basis for the official U.S. export

statistics compiled by the Bureau of the

Census. The SED for In-transit Goods,

Form 7513 serves as the source

document from which Census collects

and compiles the official U.S. statistics

on outbound in-transit shipments. The

official export statistics provide a basic

component for the compilation of the

U.S. position on merchandise trade.

These data are an essential component

of the monthly totals on U.S. overall

trade in goods and services, a leading

economic indicator.

The SEDs also are export control

documents under Title 50, United States

Code and are used to detect and prevent

the export of certain commodities (for

example, high technology or military

goods) to unauthorized destinations or

end users. The SEDs as official

documents of export transactions,

enable the U.S. Customs Service and the

Bureau of Export Administration to

enforce the Export Administration

Regulations and thereby detect and

prevent the export of high technology

commodities to unauthorized

destinations. The Department of State

uses the SED to enforce the

International Traffic in Arms

Regulations to detect and prevent the

export of arms and ammunition to

unauthorized destinations.

In the past, each different type of

paper SED form was cleared separately.

In recent years the number of

submissions via automated programs—

(AERP) operated by Census and the new

AES operated by Customs—have grown

rapidly and must now be considered as

part of the SED submissions. With this

submission we will combine the various

types of SEDs, both paper and

electronic, under one OMB clearance

submission to better reflect reporting

burden and streamline the clearance

process.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profit organizations.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Legal Authority: Title 13 USC,

Chapter 9, Sections 301–307; 15 CFR

Part 30 (Foreign Trade Statistics

Regulations).
