30-Day Public Comment Period: Proposed Information Collection for Changing End-User, End-Use, and/or Destination on Hardware and Open General Licenses

The U.S. Department of State has submitted a proposed information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice opens a 30-day public comment window for all interested individuals and organizations to provide feedback on the collection. The specific information collection pertains to requests made by exporters or license holders who wish to change the end-user, end-use, and/or destination associated with previously approved hardware export licenses and Open General Licenses (OGLs). These are licenses issued under U.S. export control regulations, typically administered by the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). The Paperwork Reduction Act requires federal agencies to seek OMB approval before collecting information from the public, and to solicit public comments on the burden, necessity, and utility of such collections. This notice invites stakeholders to comment on whether the proposed collection is necessary, whether the burden estimate is accurate, and whether there are ways to minimize the reporting burden. Comments submitted during this 30-day period will be considered by OMB as part of its approval determination. Parties affected include defense exporters, arms manufacturers, and companies holding U.S. munitions or dual-use export licenses who may need to amend license conditions post-issuance.
