Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
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 March 25, 2024, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
Title: Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser.
OMB Control Number: 0694-0021.
Form Number(s): BIS-711.
Type of Request: Regular submission, extension of a current
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 414.
Average Hours per Response: 16 minutes.
Burden Hours: 110.
Needs and Uses: 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.
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
[[Page 62713]]
(IEEPA) have directed and authorized the continuation in force of the
EAR.
The collection is necessary under part 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
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 part 748.12(b) of the EAR.
