Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

The Department of Commerce (DOC) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of information under provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

OMB Approval Number: New.

Type of Request: New collection.

Burden: 1,968 hours.

Average Time Per Response: 15 to 30 minutes per response.

Number of Respondents: 6,420 respondents.

Needs and Uses: Import or End-User Certificates are an undertaking by the government of the country of ultimate destination (the issuing government) to exercise legal control over the disposition of the items covered by the importer (ultimate consignee or purchaser) and transmitted to the exporter (applicant).

Another reporting requirement allows exporters to request an exception to the imports certificate (or its equivalent) procedure. This reporting requirement also covers requests for exceptions to the delivery verification procedure.

Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.

OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker.
