Agency Form Under Review by the Office of Management and Budget

    DOC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
clearance the following proposal for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: Bureau of the Census.
    Title: Shipper's Export Declaration.
    Form Number(s): Form 7513.
    Agency Approval Number: 0607-0001.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 26,165 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 140,626.
    Avg Hours Per Response: 11 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Shipper's Export Declarations (SED's) are required 
from exporters for all shipments valued over $2500 from the United 
States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to all foreign 
countries except Canada; between the United States and Puerto Rico; and 
from the United States or Puerto Rico to the U.S. Virgin Islands. 
Information on the cargo, its origin and destination, and method and 
date of export are requested. Customs officials gather the SED forms 
from export carriers and transmit them to the Census Bureau. Carriers 
must file Form 7513 for merchandise shipped in bond by vessel through 
the United States enroute from one foreign country to another without 
having been entered as an import (in-transit goods). SED's are the 
basic source of the official U.S. export statistics compiled by the 
Census Bureau. These statistics provide data for the merchandise trade 
balance, a major economic indicator and component of the gross domestic 
product.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit, Individuals or 
households, Not-for-profit institutions, Farms, Federal Government, 
State, local or tribal government.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: Maria Gonzalez, [phone].
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Gerald Tache, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, (202) 
482-3271, Department of Commerce, room 5312, 14th and Constitution 
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Maria Gonzalez, OMB Desk Officer, room 
10201, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: September 12, 1995.
Gerald Tache,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of Management and 
Organization.
