Conforming Changes to Certain End-User/End-Use Based Controls in the EAR; Clarification of the Term "Transfer" and Related Terms as Used in the EAR. WordPerfect || PDF || ASCII || Format

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) proposes to amend the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by making conforming changes in certain end-user/end-use controls in the EAR to ensure that the terminology used to describe each type of end-user/end-use control is consistent, to the fullest extent possible, with the terminology in other such controls in the EAR. The proposed amendments would clarify that a party cannot proceed with an export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) that is in transit at the time the party is informed by BIS that a license is required (in accordance with certain end-user/end-use controls in the EAR), unless that party first obtains a license from BIS authorizing the completion of the transaction. This rule also proposes to amend the EAR by revising the definition of the term "transfer" and certain related terms, to provide greater clarity regarding these provisions. Comments must be received by June 17, 2008.

Technical Corrections to the Export Administration Regulations based upon a Systematic Review of the CCL. WordPerfect || PDF || ASCII || Format

This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to make various technical corrections and clarifications to the EAR as a result of a systematic review of the Commerce Control List (CCL) that was conducted by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). This rule is the first phase of the regulatory implementation of the results of a review of the CCL that was conducted by BIS starting in 2007. The BIS CCL review benefited from input received from BIS’s Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) and comments that were received from the interested public in response to the publication of a BIS notice of inquiry on July 17, 2007 (72 FR 39052).

Expanded Authorization for Temporary Exports and Reexports of Tools of Trade to Sudan. WordPerfect || PDF || ASCII || Format

This rule increases the number of end-uses for which certain computers and relate equipment and telecommunicates devices may be exported temporarily to Sudan "tools of trade" for persons doing humanitarian and development work in that country under a license exception. It also makes more types of commodities eligible under the category "tools of trade" for purposes of this license exception and authorizes reexports under this provision to the same extent as exports are authorized.

73 FR 6603

On November 5, 2007, the Bureau of Industry and Security published a final rule that amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the agreement reached at the December 2006 plenary meeting of the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. This rule corrects errors from the November 5th rule in Parts 742 and 744, and Categories 1, 3, 6 and 7 on the Commerce Control List. In particular, this rule corrects the exception language for License Exceptions GBS and CIV under ECCN 6A005 (Lasers). In addition, this rule replaces the listing of "3B001.f.2" with "3B001.f.3" for the Validated End-User (VEU) Applied Materials China, Ltd in Supplement No 7 to Part 748, which is necessary because of the redesignation of 3B001.f.2 as 3B001.f.3 in the November 5th rule.
