                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                I. Abstract
                 This collection of information involves ten miscellaneous
                activities described in Sections 744.15(b), Part 744 Supplement No. 7,
                paragraph (d), Sec. 748.4 and Part 758 of the EAR that are associated
                with the export of items controlled by the Department of Commerce. Most
                of these activities do not involve submission of documents to the
                Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) but instead involve exchange of
                documents among parties in the export transaction to ensure that each
                party understands its obligations under U.S. law. Others involve
                writing certain export control statements on shipping documents or
                reporting unforeseen changes in shipping and disposition of exported
                commodities. These activities are needed by the Office of Export
                Enforcement and the U.S. Customs Service to document export
                transactions, enforce the EAR and protect the National Security of the
                United States
                II. Method of Collection
                 This information can be transmitted electronically, orally, in
                paper format, or by other conventional means as requested.

                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

                technology.
                 Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
