DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Bureau of Industry and Security
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Voluntary Self-Disclosure of Violations of the EAR
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
[[Page 19247]]
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on November 18, 2022, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce Department.
Title: Voluntary Self-Disclosure of Violations of the EAR.
OMB Control Number: 0694-0058.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Extension of a current information collection.
Number of Respondents: 180.
Average Hours per Response: 10 hours.
Burden Hours: 1,800.
Needs and Uses: This collection of information is needed to detect
violations of the Export Administration Act and Regulations and
determine if an investigation or prosecution is necessary and to reach
a settlement with violators. Voluntary self-disclosure of EAR
violations strengthens BIS's enforcement efforts by allowing BIS to
conduct investigations of the disclosed incidents faster than would be
the case if BIS had to detect the violations without such disclosures.
BIS evaluates the seriousness of the violation and either (1) Informs
the person making the disclosure that no action is warranted; (2)
issues a warning letter; (3) issues a proposed charging letter and
attempts to settle the matter; (4) issues a charging letter if
settlement is not reached; and/or (5) refers the matter to the U.S.
Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: EAR Sections 764.5, and 764.7.
