Simple Network Application Process

Justification for Non-Substantive Change

Simple Network Applications Process and Multipurpose Application Form

OMB Control Number: 0694-0088

This non-substantive change is needed to support publication of a proposed rule “Proposed Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR): Unverified List (UVL)” (RIN 0694-AF70).

This rule changes the information collection, License Exceptions and Exclusions, OMB Control No.

0694-0137, by suspending the availability of license exceptions for exports, reexports, and transfers

(in-country) to persons listed on the UVL. A license exception is when someone can ship an item that would normally require a license, under license exception, if certain conditions are met.

The suspension of license exceptions means that individuals will need to apply for a license using the Simple Network Applications Process and Multipurpose Application Form which will result in an increase of burden hours to OMB Control No. 0694-0088.

It is estimated that this change will add 18 export licenses per year. Of these 18, two applications are expected to have minimal supporting documentation and 16 applications are expected have significant supporting documentation. Therefore the burden increase is estimated to be 2 x 19 minutes + 16 x 49 minutes = 14 hours annually.

(The burden estimates are based on input of license application and application-specific data into the SNAP-R system, submission of supporting documents into SNAP, and recordkeeping.)
