DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Bureau of Export Administration
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce (DOC) has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for
collection of information under provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: Bureau of Export Administration (BXA).
Title: National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Agency Form Number: BXA-742R, BXA-742S.
OMB Approval Number: 0694-0107.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection of
information.
Burden: 725 hours.
Average Time Per Response: 52.5 to 67.5 minutes per response.
Number of Respondents: 1,150 respondents.
Needs and Uses: This collection of information is required as the
result of the amending of the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR
parts 730-799) (EAR) by revising the (EAR) requirements for exports and
reexports contained in Sections 1211-1215 of the National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 1998 (Pub L. 105-85, 111 Stat.
1629), signed by the President on November 18, 1997. The Bureau of
Export Administration (BXA) needs the information in this collection to
fulfill two requirements of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1998 (NDAA). Those requirements are: (1) proposed exports
and reexports of high performance computers to specific countries must
be reviewed by enumerated government agencies prior to the export and
(2) that the government conduct a ``post shipment verification'' of
each high performance computer exported to those countries after
November 17, 1997. Both of these requirements are new and were imposed
by the Congress with the passage of the NDAA. To simplify the latter,
BXA has developed a new form that will incorporate the relevant data
elements and replace the written report, thereby standardizing the data
format for the applicant, and enabling the use of information
technology in the processing of the data.
Affected Public: Individuals, businesses or other for-profit
institutions.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
OMB Desk Officer: Victoria Baecher-Wassmer (202) 395-5871.
Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained
by calling or writing Linda Engelmeier, DOC Forms Clearance Officer,
(202) 482-3272, Department of Commerce, Room 5327, 14th and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20230.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to Victoria Baecher-Wassmer, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10202, New
Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20230.
Dated: July 28, 1998.
Linda Engelmeier,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information
Officer.
