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)–(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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
