SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This collection of information involves ten miscellaneous
activities described in Sections 744.15(b), Part 744 Supplement No. 7,
paragraph (d), Sec. 748.4 and Part 758 of the EAR that are associated
with the export of items controlled by the Department of Commerce. Most
of these activities do not involve submission of documents to the
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) but instead involve exchange of
documents among parties in the export transaction to ensure that each
party understands its obligations under U.S. law. Others involve
writing certain export control statements on shipping documents or
reporting unforeseen changes in shipping and disposition of exported
commodities. These activities are needed by the Office of Export
Enforcement and the U.S. Customs Service to document export
transactions, enforce the EAR and protect the National Security of the
United States

paper format, or by other conventional means as requested.
