Needs and Uses: Voluntary selfdisclosures allow BIS to conduct
investigations of the disclosed incidents
faster than would be the case if BIS had
to detect the violations without such
disclosures. As a result, BIS is able to
devote more of its resources to detecting
non-disclosed violations. The
information obtained through this
collection may also provide leads to
uncover other violations. In some cases,
the information might be shared with
other law enforcement agencies
investigating suspected violations of the
ECRA and the EAR or, in appropriate
instances, agencies investigating
violations of other statutes or with
foreign governments.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
