Abstract: This collection is required in compliance with U.S. export regulations. The information furnished by U.S. exporters provides the basis for decisions to grant licenses for export, reexport, and classification of commodities, goods and technologies that are controlled for reasons of national security and foreign policy.

Emergency Justfication: In response to Belarus’s substantial enabling of the Russian Federation’s further invasion of Ukraine, this emergency request for approval of this collection adds a final rule which creates new license requirements and review policies for Belarus to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to render Belarus subject to the same sanctions that were imposed on Russia under the EAR effective February 24, 2022.
