Census Seeking Public Comments on AES Information Collection

The Census Bureau is seeking public comments on an information collection involving the Automated Export System, the agency said in a notice released this week. Census said it’s requesting “continued clearance” of AES as a result of a new conditional data element, effective Nov. 8, that shippers will need to report when exporting items classified under U.S. Munitions List Category XXI (see 2308090018). The agency requested feedback on a previous version of the information collection last November and said it’s allowing for “an additional 30 days for public comments.”
