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

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
