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 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 (Customs) to 
document export transactions, enforce the EAR and protect the National 
Security of the United States.
