SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This information collection comprises two rarely used short supply
activities: ``Registration of U.S. Agricultural Commodities for
Exemption from Short Supply Limitations on Export (USAG)'', and
``Petitions for the Imposition of Monitoring or Controls on Recyclable
Metallic Materials; Public Hearings (Petitions).'' Under provisions of
sections 754.6 and 754.7 of the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR), agricultural commodities of U.S. origin purchased by or for use
in a foreign country and stored in the United States for export at a
later date may voluntarily be registered with the Bureau of Industry
and Security for exemption from any quantitative limitations on export
that may subsequently be imposed under the EAR for reasons of short
supply.
II. Method of Collection
Any entity, including a trade association, firm or certified or
recognized union or group of workers, which is representative of an
industry or a substantial segment of an industry which processes
metallic materials capable of being recycled with respect to which an
increase in domestic prices or a domestic shortage, either of which
results from increased exports, has or may have a significant adverse
effect on the national economy or any sector thereof, may submit a
written petition to BIS requesting the monitoring of exports, or the
imposition of export controls, or both, with respect to such materials.
