The five year records retention requirement enables BIS to detect violations from records up to five years old to correspond with the five year statue of limitations and prove that a violation did or did not take place. All parties involved in the export, reexport, transshipment or diversion of items subject to the EAR and the U.S. party involved in the export transaction involving a reportable boycott request are required to maintain records of these activities for a period of five years. The frequency depends upon how often each entity is involved in an export transaction or one involving a reportable boycott request. This five-year retention period for export documents to be retained corresponds with the five year statute of limitations for criminal actions brought under the ECRA predecessor acts (18 U.S.C. 3282) and the five year statute for administrative compliance proceedings (28 U.S.C. 2462).

A slight increase in burden hours for Antiboycott is requested due to an increase in reports for calendar year 2019 - from an average of 412 annually to an estimated 1,520 per year.
A decrease in burden hours for Exports is requested due to a more accurate accounting of respondents and documentation. Previously, 1,800,000 respondents were accounted for which is now discovered to be only 100,000, and with a more accurate accounting for documentation this actually lowers the burden hours requested by 6,649.
