SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This collection is needed to provide a procedure for persons or 
organizations listed on the Entity List to request removal or 
modification of the entry that affects them. The Entity List appears at 
15 CFR part 744, Supp. No. 1. The Entity List is used to inform the 
public of certain parties whose presence in a transaction that is 
subject to the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts 730-799) 
requires a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). Such 
requests would be reviewed by the Departments of Commerce, State, and 
Defense, and Energy and Treasury as appropriate. The interagency 
decision, as communicated to the requesting entity by BIS, would be the 
final agency action on such a request. This is a voluntary collection.

II. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.
