Agency Forms Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance the following proposals for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of Export Administration (BXA).
    Title of Survey: Approval of Triangular Transactions Involving 
Commodities Covered by a U.S. Import Certificate.
    Agency Form Number: None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0694-0009.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Burden: 1 hour.
    Number of Respondents: One.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: Around 30 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The U.S. and a number of other countries have 
established import and delivery verification procedures for the purpose 
of controlling international trade of strategic commodities. These 
procedures require that, when required by the exporting country, the 
importer certifies to the government of the importing country that he 
will not reexport such commodities except in accordance with export 
control regulations of that country. The government of the importing 
country, in turn, certifies that such representations have been made. 
However, it is possible that the U.S. purchaser is not actually going 
to import the item into the U.S. Rather the item will be transferred to 
a third party outside the U.S. In those instances, the U.S. purchaser 
must submit information to BXA to make sure that the transaction is 
permitted under the U.S. export regulations.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    OMB Desk Officer: Don Arbuckle, [phone], Room 10202, New 
Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503.
    Agency: Bureau of Export Administration (BXA).
    Title: Defense Priorities and Allocations System.
    Agency Form Number: None.
    OMB Approval: 0694-0053.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement without change.
    Burden: 16,667 recordkeeping hours.
    Number of Respondents: 25,000.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 1 minute per order.
    Needs and Uses: Under the Defense Production Act of 1950, the 
President is given authority to allocate materials and facilities and 
to establish priorities in the performance of contracts and orders in 
support of the national defense. Persons receiving orders under the 
DPAS regulations must retain records for 3 years. The recordkeeping 
requirement is used to create an audit trail in order to determine 
compliance with the Act.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
