This information collection package
supports the various collections, notifications, reports, and
information exchanges that are needed by the Office of Export
Enforcement and Customs to enforce the Export Administration
Regulations and maintain the National Security of the United
States. The requirements include: Assumption Writing, Information
requirements, Power of attorney or other written authorization,
Procedures for unscheduled unloading, Return or unloading at
direction of U.S. Department of Commerce, Destination Control
Statement, Notation on export documents for exports exempt from SED
requirements,
A change to this IC is
requested to incorporate the collection of information, and
increased burden hours, due to the publication of the final rule,
Temporary General License: Extension of Validity, Clarifications to
Authorized Transactions, and Changes to Certification Statement
Requirements. This final rule will impose requirements on
exporters, reexporters, and transfers to obtain a certification
statement from listed entities prior to receiving items under a
temporary general license under the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR). As BIS oversees the EAR, burden hours are
expected to increase due to the large number of certification
statements related to regulating these items under the EAR. BIS
feels that this collection of information fits within the scope of
this IC.

The number of responses and
burden hours have been adjusted to reflect the addition of
requirements due to the publication of the final rule, “Temporary
General License: Extension of Validity, Clarifications to
Authorized Transactions, and Changes to Certification Statement
Requirements.” This final rule was published revising a temporary
general license under the EAR by changing which party to the
transaction is required to create the certification statement by
requiring that the exporter, reexporter, or transferor obtain a
certification statement from the pertinent Huawei listed entity
prior to using the temporary general license, along with other
changes being made in the rule. As BIS oversees the temporary
general license, burden hours are expected to increase by 788 hours
due to the addition of the certification statement requirement
under paragraph (d) of the temporary general license in Supplement
No. 7 to part 744.
