This collection is needed to provide a procedure for persons or organizations listed on the Entity List to request removal or modification of the entry that affects them.

Such requests would be reviewed by the Departments of Commerce, State, and Defense, and Energy and Treasury as appropriate. The interagency decision, as communicated to the requesting entity by BIS, would be the final agency action on such a request. This is a voluntary collection.
