Periodic renewal of the information collection.
Report to foreign exporting authority. There is no change to the collection of information in § 592.301(a)(3) of the Regulations relating to reports to the relevant foreign exporting authority that was approved by OMB under control number 1505-0198.
Census Bureau collections of information (0607-0152). Pursuant to the Census Bureau, the collections of information in § 592.301(a)(1)(iii)â(v) of the Regulations related to exporter and importer reporting requirements and the FTR previously were approved by OMB under control number 0607-0152 and are unchanged.
There is no change to the collection of information in § 592.301(a)(5) of the Regulations (previously located in § 592.301(a)(4)) that relates to exporter reporting requirements and the FTR, and which remains approved by OMB under control number 0607-0152.
Annual State report. OFAC previously removed the annual State Department reporting requirement that all rough diamond importers and exporters file annual reports with the Department of State detailing their import, export, and stockpile information as previously set forth in § 592.502 of the Regulations. OFAC removed this requirement in 2018 in light of alternate sources from which to obtain relevant information. However, due to an administrative error in the prior submission, the burden totals from 2018, of 200 hours for the report to foreign exporting authority and 0 hours for the annual state report, were not conveyed in the Regulatory Information Service Center (ROCIS). Treasury is correcting this administrative error as part of this submission.
Additionally, for the report to foreign exporting authority, there is a decrease in the burden hours of 122 hours (from 200 hours to 78 hours) due to a decrease in the number of actual number of reports received.
