SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Certain circumstances such as company mergers, company takeovers, 
etc., necessitate the transfer of an active export license from one 
party to another. When a licensee transfers an unexpired license to 
another party, there must be assurances that the other party, the 
transferee, will also be accountable for the proper use of the license. 
The required information collected from both parties provides 
assurances that the balance of the shipments will not be diverted or 
used for purposes contrary to the authorized use of the approved 
license.
