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: Commercial Encryption Items Under the Jurisdiction of DOC.
    Agency Form Number: BXA 748-P.
    OMB Control Number: 0694-0104.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 650 hours.
    Average Time Per Response: Ranges between 1 and 4 hours depending 
on the requirement.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Needs and Uses: Encryption items can be used to maintain the 
secrecy of information, and thereby may be used by persons to harm 
national security, foreign policy and law enforcement interests. For 
those items controlled, licenses are required for exports and reexports 
of encryption items. The Export Administration Regulations set forth 
the licensing policy for exports and reexports of encryption 
commodities and software to U.S. subsidiaries, insurance companies, 
health and medical end-users, on-line merchants and foreign commercial 
firms. The information is used in making licensing decisions.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker [phone].
