DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Automated Export System 

(AES). 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0152. 

Form Number(s): AES, AESDirect, 

AESWeblink. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden Hours: 791,607. 

Number of Respondents: 288,747. 

Average Hours per Response: 3 

minutes per AES record. 

Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau 

requires mandatory filing of all export 

information via the Automated Export 

System (AES). This requirement is 

mandated through Public Law 107–228, 

of the Foreign Trade Relations Act of 

2003. This law authorizes the Secretary 

of Commerce with the concurrences of 

the Secretary of State and the Secretary 

of Homeland Security to require all 

persons who file export information 

according to Title 13, United States 

Code (U.S.C.), Chapter 9, to file such 

information through the AES. 

The AES record provides the means 

for collecting data on U.S. exports. Title 

13, U.S.C., Chapter 9, Sections 301–307, 

mandates the collection of these data. 

The regulatory provisions for the 

collection of these data are contained in 

the FTR, Title 15, Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), Part 30. The official 

export statistics collected from these 

tools provide the basic component for 

the compilation of the U.S. position on 

merchandise trade. These data are an 

essential component of the monthly 

totals provided in the U.S. International 

Trade in Goods and Services Press 

Release, a principal economic indicator 

and a primary component of the Gross 

Domestic Product (GDP). 

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 information collected via the AES 

shows what is being exported 

(description and commodity 

classification number), how much is 

exported (quantity, shipping weight, 

and value), how it is being exported 

(mode of transport, exporting carrier, 

and whether containerized), from where 

(state of origin and port of export), to 

where (port of unloading and country of 

ultimate destination), and when a 

commodity is exported (date of 

exportation). The identification of the 

U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) 

shows who is exporting goods for 

consumption (control purposes), while 

the USPPI and/or the forwarding or 

other agent information provides a 

contact for verification of the 

information. 

The proposed changes will require the 

addition of new data elements in the 

AES as well as modifications to current 

data elements. The fields that will be 

added/modified are conditional data 

elements. Therefore, these data elements 

will only be required if that element 

applies to the specific shipment being 

exported. In addition, AES filings will 

be mandatory for shipments of all used 

self-propelled vehicles and household
