§ 374.9 Export clearance.

(a) General. Generally, the Office of Export Control will notify every Collector of Customs of the approval of a Project License within 15 days after dispatch of the license to the licensee. Therefore, an exporter should not plan to clear an exportation at an earlier date unless he has verified that notification has reached the Collector of Customs at the intended port of exit. In unusual circumstances the applicant may request specific earlier notification on the part of the Office of Export Control to one Collector of Customs in order that a specific emergency shipment or shipments may be cleared as soon as the applicant is notified of approval action by the Office of Export Control.

(b) Presentation of license or other approval action. When clearing shipments for export under a Project License, the licensee shall, on demand, show to the Collector of Customs either the original or a photostatic copy of the license or amendment. The license or amendment, however, is not required to be filed with the Collector of Customs.

(c) Shipper's export declaration. The Shipper's Export Declaration covering an exportation made under a Project License shall be prepared in accordance with standard instructions covering the preparation of Declarations except as modified by the following special instructions:

(1) Project license number. The Declaration shall include the Project Li

(2) Return without action. If a Form IA-763 is to be returned without action the original will be held in the Office of cense number.

(2) Additional copy of declaration. When clearing shipments under a Project License, the licensee shall file with the Collector of Customs an additional copy of the Declaration. The licensee shall enter the symbol "DL" on the Declaration in the upper right corner.

NOTE: Although the Project License and extensions thereto describe the commodities in broad descriptive categories, commodity descriptions on the Declaration shall be more specific. The description of a commodity shall (1) conform to the applicable Commodity Control List description, and (2) incorporate any additional information where required by Schedule B (for example, type, size, or name of specific commodity).

(d) Mail shipments. Shipments by mail shall be made in accordance with the instructions contained in § 379.1(b) of this chapter.

(e) Shipments exportable under General License GLV. Notwithstanding any statement appearing on a Project License, a Project License holder may use either his Project License or General License GLV to export commodities which meet the provisions of General License GLV. The Project License, however, may not be used for shipments which can be made under any other general license.

§ 375.2

Application requirements.

(a) Application form and consignee list. An application for a Blanket (BLT) License shall be submitted on Form FC419, Application for Export License (Revised on or after January 1956),' with Form FC-420 Application Processing Card,' attached, and shall be accompanied by a list, in duplicate, of the proposed consignees, their addresses, and the quantity requested for each consignee. In preparing such a list, the applicant shall leave ample space between listings in order to enable Col

1 Forms FC-419 and FC-420 may be obtained at all United States Department of Commerce Field Offices and from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Export Control, Washington, D.C., 20230.

Late revisions of Forms FC-419 and FC420 refer to the "Export Control Commodity No." instead of the "Schedule B No." Late revisions of Form FC-419 refer also to the "Commodity Control List" instead of the "Positive List" in the commodity description space. If earlier issuances of Forms FC-419 or FC-420 are used, these terms shall be changed, and the forms completed, accordingly.

lectors of Customs to enter quantities shipped to each named consignee.

(b) Preparation of application. In preparing a license application, the applicant shall write the words "BLT License" in the commodity description space, and enter:

(1) In the ultimate consignee space, the statement "See attached list of consignees";

(2) In the quantity space, the total quantity of material to be exported; and (3) In the value space, the unit price and the aggregate value of the material to be exported.

(1)

(c) Processing of applications. If the Office of Export Control finds that it will require an extended period of time to process a BLT License application because of the necessity for prolonged consideration of one or more proposed ultimate consignees, a BLT License will be issued excluding such consignees. By this method, undue delay will be avoided in processing the application. The Office of Export Control in such instances will notify the applicant that an individual license application may be submitted to cover each excluded consignee.

(2) In the event the entire quantity approved is less than that for which the applicant applied, he may select any approved consignees to whom he prefers to ship. However, no one consignee may receive more out of the total quantity approved than the amount specified for him on the list attached to the BLT application.

§ 375.3 Issuance of license.

(a) Form of issuance. A BLT License will be issued on Form FC-628, Export License, and will bear the identifying words "Blanket License" below the validation stamp. The list of approved ultimate consignees submitted in accordance with § 375.2(a) will be attached to and will become a part of the license.

(b) Validity period. Unless otherwise stated on the face of the license, a BLT License will be issued for a period ending on the last day of the sixth month following the month during which the license is validated.

§ 375.4 Export clearance.

(a) Presentation of license to customs. The BLT License shall be deposited with the Collector of Customs at the port of exit through which the largest number of shipments thereunder will move. The total amount shipped against such li

cense shall not exceed the quantity approved for export, and the total quantity shipped to a single consignee shall not exceed the quantity specified for the respective consignee.

(b) Shipment through another port. Under the provisions of § 379.2(e) of this chapter, a Collector holding an export license may, at the request of the licensee, authorize the exportation from a different port of commodities covered by the license.

(c) Shipment by mail. Shipments may be made by mail without the necessity of obtaining additional licenses to effect such shipments, in accordance with the procedure described in § 379.1(b) of this chapter.

(d) Tolerance. When shipments are cleared against a BLT License, the tolerance provisions specified in § 379.2 (h) of this chapter may be applied on the amount approved for each consignee in the same manner and to the same extent as if he were the only consignee named in an individual license.

(e) Shipper's export declaration. A person exporting any commodity pursuant to a BLT License shall enter the symbol "BLT" and the validated license number on each Shipper's Export Declaration filed with the Collector at the port of exit at the time of each exportation under each license. § 375.5

Effect of other provisions.

Insofar as consistent with the provisions of this part, all of the provisions of the Export Regulations shall apply equally to applications for licenses and licenses issued under this part.

§ 376.1 Periodic Requirements (PRL) License.

This part establishes a procedure for obtaining a Periodic Requirements (PRL) License which authorizes the exportation of the licensed commodity or commodities to one or more ultimate consignees in a single country of destination for a period of one year from issuance of the license. The PRL licensing procedure is applicable to all destinations except Country Groups W, X, Y, or Z. An application may cover as much as six-months estimated requirements of the named consignee for the commodities included in the application.

[blocks in formation]

(a) Identification of Commodities Subject to PRL License. The commodities for which the issuance of a PRL License will be considered are identified by the symbol "E" in the last column of the Commodity Control List. However, a PRL license is not applicable to any exportation of commodities related to nuclear weapons, nuclear explosive devices, or nuclear testing, as described in § 373.7(b) of this chapter. For purposes of qualification for a PRL License (see § 376.4(a) (4)), these commodities are considered by PRL Commodity Groups. A PRL Commodity Group is defined as all commodities identified by the same Commodity Group symbol. This symbol consists of the letter "E" followed by a number; e.g. “E-1,” “E-2," "E-3," etc., as shown in the last column of the Commodity Control List.

(b) Commodity groups. The following are the PRL Commodity Groups:

Group E-1-Rubber Products.

Group E-8-Metals and Minerals, Mill Prod-
ucts and Manufactured Products.
Group E-9-General Industrial Equipment.
Group E-10-Power Generating Machinery.
Group E-11-Construction Equipment.
Group E-12-Petroleum Equipment.
Group E-13-Industrial Inorganic Chemicals.
Group E-14-Organic Chemicals.

§ 376.3

Consideration of applications.

(a) Qualification for PRL License(1) Applicant-consignee relationship. The applicant shall have had the following business and export relationship with the consignee:

(i) He shall have had a business relationship with each ultimate consignee named on the application for a period of two years immediately preceding the date of filing the application. For example, if the application is filed on April 1, 1965, this relationship must have existed during the years April 1, 1964 through March 31, 1965, and April 1, 1963 through March 31, 1964.

(ii) During the two-year period he shall have exported a minimum of $2,000 in value of commodities included in each PRL Commodity Group covered by the application, to each consignee named thereon.

An

(2) Records and record keeping. applicant for a PRL License shall have in his possession, at the time the application is filed, documentary evidence of the existence of the relationship with each ultimate consignee, as described in subparagraph (1) (i) and (ii) of this paragraph. The documents and records shall be kept and made available for inspection in accordance with the provisions of § 381.11 of this chapter. (The Export Regulations contain further record keeping requirements. See § 381.11 of this chapter.)

(b) Quantity applied for. An application in a total value of less than $2,000 generally will not be considered under the PRL licensing procedure. Where shipments are expected to be less than $2,000 in value, the applicant should apply for one of the other types of export licenses.

(c) Waiver of order requirements. An applicant for a PRL License is not required to hold an export order from the foreign consignee or purchaser for the commodities subject to this procedure. The provisions of § 372.4(f) of this chapter relating to export orders are, therefore, waived with respect to an application for PRL License.

§ 376.4 Application requirements.

(a) How to prepare a PRL License application. An application for a PRL License shall be prepared and submitted on Form FC-419, Application for Export License (Revised on or after 1956), with Form FC-420, Application Processing
