[Federal Register: January 5, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 2)][Notices] [Page 263-264] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr05ja09-32] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Bureau of Industry and Security [Docket No. 0812221638-81639-01] Request for Public Comments on the Effects of Export Controls on Decisions To Use or Not Use U.S.-Origin Parts and Components in Commercial Products and the Effects of Such Decisions AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce. ACTION: Notice of inquiry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 264]] SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is seeking public comment on whether U.S. export controls influence manufacturers' decisions to use or not use U.S.-origin parts and components in commercial products and the effects of such decisions. BIS is interested in obtaining specific information about whether such a practice occurs, and if so, its economic effects in order to assess the effectiveness of export controls as well as the impact of export controls on the U.S. economy. DATES: Comments must be received no later than February 19, 2009. ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted via e-mail to publiccomments@bis.doc.gov. Please Refer to ``Parts and Components Inquiry'' in the subject line. Comments may also be sent to Parts and Components Study, Office of Technology Evaluation, Room 2705, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Watts, Office of Technology Evaluation, Bureau of Industry and Security, telephone: 202-482-8343; fax: 202-482-5361; e-mail jwatts@bis.doc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Export controls imposed by various agencies of the United States government, including, but not limited to, those imposed by BIS necessarily have an impact outside the United States. Certain U.S. export control regulations impose license requirements or other restrictions on commercial items manufactured outside the United States if those foreign-manufactured items contain U.S.-origin parts and components. BIS is seeking information to help it assess the impact of U.S. export controls on decisions by manufacturers whether to use U.S.- origin parts and components in their commercial products and the impact of such decisions on the effectiveness of export controls, the strength of the defense industrial base, employment in the United States, the financial strength of U.S. industry, and the ability of U.S. industry to compete in the market. Specific and quantitative data, from U.S. persons, as well as foreign entities and governments, will be particularly helpful to BIS's assessment, but other types of information, including anecdotal information, will be useful as well. Quantitative data that is aggregated to reflect the combined experience of a group of companies or an industry segment also will be useful, particularly if individual companies are reluctant to provide company-specific quantitative data. Regardless of whether it is qualitative or quantitative, if a comment asserts that manufacturers have elected not to include U.S.- origin parts and components in a foreign-manufactured commercial product because such inclusion could subject the products to U.S. export controls, the following kinds of data would be useful to BIS's assessment:
