SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

In order to increase the effectiveness

of export controls on international trade

in strategic commodities, certain

countries participate in the Import

Certificate/Delivery Verification (IV/DV)

procedure. Its purpose is to make sure

that strategic items are not diverted. The

clearance request is for the form used to

notify U.S. exporters that they must

obtain from their foreign consignee an

‘‘Import Certificate.’’ This certificate,

which is issued by the foreign

government, certifies that the

commodities exported were actually

delivered to the foreign consignee.

When the certification has been

received, the U.S. exporter must

complete the BXA form and return it

along with the Import Certificate to

BXA.

II. Method of Collection

Submission of completed form and

Import Certificate.

III. Data

OMB Number: 0694–0008.

Form Number: ITA 648–P.

businesses or other for-profit and notfor-profit institutions.

minutes per response.

annually.

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden

(including hours and cost) of the
