DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

The Department of Commerce (DOC)

has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

collection of information under

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Agency: Bureau of Export

Administration (BXA).

Title: Foreign Availability Procedures

and Criteria.

Agency Form Number: None.

OMB Approval Number: 0694–0004.

Type of Request: Extension of a

currently approved collection of

information.

Burden: 510 hours.

Average Time Per Response:

Approximately 105 hours per request

and 15 hours for supporting

submissions (multiple persons per each

case).

Number of Respondents: 2

respondents; approximately 10

respondents for supporting

documentation related to each case.

Needs and Uses: The office identifies

foreign goods and technology analogous

to American equipment subject to

export controls. The foreign equipment

must be available in sufficient quantities

to controlled destinations. Continued

restrictions on exports when

comparable items are available from

uncontrollable sources decreases U.S.

competitiveness in high-technology

industries and undermines U.S. national

security interests. Without this

information from the exporting

community, the U.S. could easily lose

its competitiveness in foreign markets.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profit institutions.

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to

obtain or retain a benefit.

OMB Desk Officer: Victoria BaecherWassmer (202) 395–5871.

Copies of the above information

collection proposal can be obtained by

calling or writing Linda Engelmeier,

Room 5327, 14th and Constitution

Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20230.

recommendations for the proposed

information collection should be sent

within 30 days of publication of this

notice to Victoria Baecher-Wassmer,

OMB Desk Officer, Room 10202, New

Executive Office Building, Washington,

Comment Request

The Department of Commerce (DOC)

has submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

clearance the following proposal for

collection of information under

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Agency: Bureau of Export

Administration (BXA).

Title: Written Assurances for Exports

of Technical Data Under License

Exception TSR.

Agency Form Number: None.

OMB Approval Number: 0694–0023.

Type of Request: Extension of a

currently approved collection of

information.

Burden: 104 hours.

Average Time Per Response: 30

minutes per response and 1 minute for

recordkeeping.

Number of Respondents: 200

respondents.

Needs and Uses: The Export

Administration Regulations (EAR)

require in Section 740.6 that exporters

obtain letters of assurance from their

importers stating that technology or

software will not be reexported or

released to unauthorized destinations

that are subject to controls for national

security or foreign policy and nuclear

non-proliferation reasons. The importer,

in making these assurances

acknowledges his/her requirement to

comply with the EAR. The written

assurance requirement of License

Exception TSR (Technology and

Software Under Restriction) provides

greater security for the protection of

U.S. origin technology and software that

becomes incorporated into foreign

products.

Affected Public: Individuals,

businesses or other for-profit

institutions.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
