    Number of Respondents: 19,738 respondents.

    Needs and Uses: Over the years, BIS has worked with other 
Government agencies and the affected public to identify areas where

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 collections are designed to reduce export licensing burden.

advantageous to continue to submit license applications or to comply 
with the reporting or recordkeeping requirements and take advantage of 
the licensing exception or exclusion.

government; business or other for-profit organizations.
