This collection is necessary under Sections 760 and 762.6(a) of the

items subject to the EAR and the U.S. party involved in the export
transaction involving a reportable boycott request are required to
maintain records of these activities for a period of five years. The
frequency depends upon how often each entity is involved in an export
transaction or one involving a reportable boycott request.
