SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This collection is required to 

implement the Firearms Convention. 

The first requirement is for U.S. 

exporters to acquire an Import 

Certificate from the government of the 

importing country. The U.S. exporter 

provides the certificate number to BIS 

and retains the certificate in company 

records. The Import Certificate is 

essential to the prevention of the spread 

of illicit firearms. The second 

requirement is the imposition of a 

licensing requirement for Firearms 

Convention items destined to Canada, a 

Convention Signatory. Previously, U.S. 

exporters exported such items for 

Canada without a license. The United 

States already required a license for the 

export of such items to the other 

Convention Signatories. 

II. Method of Collection 

Submission to BIS.

OMB Number: 0694–0114. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Regular submission

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

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

or other forms of information
