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: This is a request for an emergency approval to add to this information collection the “Notified Integrated Circuits (NIC)” rule under EAR 740.8. In § 740.8, which prior to the effective date of this rule was reserved, today’s AC/S IFR adds new license exception NAC. This license exception is for less powerful ICs under ECCN 3A090.b (i.e., ICs designed or marketed for use in datacenters) and 3A090.a (i.e., ICs not designed or marketed for use in datacenters and that do have a ‘total processing performance’ of 4800 or more). NAC is available for exports, reexports, and transfers in or within Country Groups D:1, D:4, or D:5 with different requirements applicable to China and Macau. The purpose of the notification process, which is only required for exports and reexports to China and Macau, is to provide BIS and its interagency export controls partners the opportunity to evaluate the national security risk posed by ICs that fall within this parameter.
