SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This collection of information is 

necessary under the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR). The 

EAR states that the Form BIS–711, or a 

statement on company letterhead, is 

required for exports to certain countries. 

These documents provide information 

on the foreign importer receiving the 

U.S. technology and how the technology 

will be utilized. The BIS–711 or letter 

provides assurances from the importer 

that the technology will not be misused, 

transferred or reexported in violation of 

the EAR. A copy of the statement must 

be submitted with the license 

application if the country of ultimate 

destination is listed in certain country 

groups of Supplement No. 1 to part 740 

of the EAR. The Form BIS–711 or letter 

puts the importer on notice of the 

special nature of the goods proposed for 

export and conveys a commitment 

against illegal disposition. In order to 

effectively control commodities, BIS 

must have sufficient information 

regarding the end-use and end-user of 

the U.S. origin commodities to be 

exported. The information will assist 

the licensing officer in making the 

proper decision on whether to approve 

or reject the application for the license. 

II. Method of Collection 

Submitted electronically or on paper.
