    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    I. Abstract
    
        BXA has established procedures for voluntary self-disclosure of 
    export violations. Exporters provide a narrative statement which 
    outlines the violation involved. The information is needed to detect 
    violations of the Export Administration Act and to determine if an 
    investigation or prosecution is necessary. The information is used to 
    reach settlement with violators. The respondents are likely to be 
    export-related businesses.
    
    II. Method of Collection
    
        Written submission.
    
    III. Data
    
        OMB Number: 0694-0058.
        Form Number: Not applicable.
        Type of Review: Regular submission for extension of a currently 
    approved collection.
        Affected Public: Individuals, businesses or other for-profit and 
    not-for-profit institutions.
        Estimated Number of Respondents: 67.
        Estimated Time Per Response: 10 hours per response.
        Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 670.
        Estimated Total Annual Cost: $0 (no capital expenditures are 
    required).
    
    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 proposed collection of information; 
    (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
    information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
    collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
    automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
    technology.
        Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
    and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
    collection; they will also become a matter of public record.
