It is a relatively straightforward procedure. The
Bureau of Export Administration of the Dept. Of
Commerce are the ones to submit the paperwork to.
Delays are about 6 weeks as of the last one we got
done, but they seem to be catching up rapidly...
the one before that (in January) took 10 weeks.
That was immediately after the changeover.
Lessee, I have a copy of a license with me (I'm
in Las Vegas) and the address is
United States Department of Commerce
Bureau of Export Administration
P.O. Box 273, Ben Franklin Station
Washington DC 20044

The form is simple, at least for simple reguests
(eg. bordergard crypto boxes).
(I can supply the address for the Defence Signals
Directorate in Australia too, but that is probably
less useful :-)
