SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This collection of information is necessary under the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR). The EAR states that the Form BIS-711, 
or a statement on company letterhead, is required for exports to 
certain countries. These documents provide information on the foreign 
importer receiving the U.S. technology and how the technology will be 
utilized. The BIS-711 or letter provides assurances from the importer 
that the technology will not be misused, transferred or reexported in 
violation of the EAR. A copy of the statement must be submitted with 
the license application if the country of ultimate destination is 
listed in certain country groups of Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the 
EAR. The Form BIS-711 or letter puts the importer on notice of the 
special nature of the goods proposed for export and conveys a 
commitment against illegal disposition. In order to effectively control 
commodities, BIS must have sufficient information regarding the end-use 
and end-user of the U.S. origin commodities to be exported. The 
information will assist the licensing officer in making the proper 
decision on whether to approve or reject the application for the 
license.
