Where are the instructions to apply for ELA found?

• A. On the BIS website only
• B. In the EAR
• C. In the Federal Register
• D. In the BIS policy manual

Answer: (A)

The instructions for applying for the Export Licensing Application (ELA) are published by BIS on its website. The BIS site is the official, public source that provides the up-to-date guidance, required forms, and links to the online licensing system (such as SNAP-R) along with step-by-step steps for submitting an ELA. The EAR lays out the regulatory framework and license requirements but does not provide applicant-facing filing instructions. The Federal Register publishes rules and notices, not how-to filing guidance. The BIS policy manual is intended for BIS internal procedures, not for public licensing instructions. So the BIS website is the correct place to find and follow the application instructions.
