SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Voluntary self-disclosures allow BIS to conduct investigations of
the disclosed incidents faster than would be the case if BIS had to
detect the violations without such disclosures. As a result, BIS is
able to devote more of its resources to detecting non-disclosed
violations. The information obtained through this collection may also
provide leads to uncover other violations. In some cases, the
information might be shared with other law enforcement agencies
investigating suspected violations of the ECRA and the EAR or, in
appropriate instances, agencies investigating violations of other
statutes or with foreign governments.
