SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Sections 4812(b)(7) and 4814(b)(1)(B) of the Export Control Reform
Act (ECRA), authorizes the President and the Secretary of Commerce to
issue regulations to implement the ECRA including those provisions
authorizing the control of exports of U.S. goods and technology to all
foreign destinations, as necessary for the purpose of national
security, foreign policy and short supply, and the provision
prohibiting U.S. persons from participating in certain foreign
boycotts.
[[Page 20635]]
Export control authority has been assigned directly to the
Secretary of Commerce by the ECRA and delegated by the President to the
Secretary of Commerce. This authority is administered by the Bureau of
Industry and Security through the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR). The ECRA is not permanent legislation, and when it has lapsed
due to the failure to enact a timely extension, Presidential executive
orders under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)
have directed and authorized the continuation in force of the EAR.
The collection is necessary under Sec. 748.11 of the EAR. This
section states that the Form BIS-711, Statement by Ultimate Consignee
and Purchaser, or a statement on company letterhead (in accordance with
Sec. 748.11(b)(1), unless one or more of the exemptions set forth in
Section 748.11(a)) exists. The BIS-711 or letter provides information
on the foreign importer receiving the U.S. technology and how the
technology will be utilized. The BIS-711 or letter provides assurances
from the importer that the technology will not be misused, transferred
or re-exported in violation of the EAR. The form is also required for
certain reexport authorizations specified in Sec. 748.12(b) of the
EAR.
II. Method of Collection
Submitted electronically or by paper.
