SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Over the years, BIS has worked with other Government agencies and 
the affected public to identify areas where export licensing 
requirements may be relaxed without jeopardizing U.S. national security 
or foreign policy. Many of these relaxations have taken the form of 
licensing exceptions and exclusions. Some of these license exceptions 
and exclusions have a reporting or recordkeeping requirement to enable 
the Government to continue to monitor exports of these items. Exporters 
may choose to utilize the license exception and accept the reporting or 
recordkeeping burden in lieu of submitting a license application.
