SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Over the years, BIS has worked with other Government agencies and
the affected public to identify areas where export licensing
requirements may be relaxed without jeopardizing U.S. national security
or foreign policy. Many of these relaxations have taken the form of
licensing exceptions and exclusions. Some of these license exceptions
and exclusions have a reporting or recordkeeping requirement to enable
the Government to continue to monitor exports of these items. Exporters
may choose to utilize the license exception and accept the reporting or
recordkeeping burden in lieu of submitting a license application. These
exceptions and exclusions have allowed exporters to ship items quickly,
without having to wait for license approval.
II. Method of Collection
Electronically.
