The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is extending its information collection OMB 0694-0122 for another three years. This covers various licensing, reporting, and enforcement activities under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), specifically Parts 744, 748, and 758. These include submitting documents to BIS, exchanging compliance documents among export parties, adding export control statements to shipping documents, and reporting unexpected changes in shipping or disposition of controlled items. The collection supports the Office of Export Enforcement and U.S. Customs in documenting transactions and protecting national security. There are no substantive changes to the requirements, only a title revision for clarity. It affects businesses engaged in exporting, reexporting, or transferring items controlled by BIS. The estimated annual burden is 97,456 hours from 2,224,151 respondents, with response times ranging from 5 seconds to 4 hours.
