Bureau of Industry and Security September 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Commerce, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).

This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by deleting a redundant paragraph and redesignating the remaining paragraphs in one section for clarity; inserting material inadvertently omitted from previous rules in three places in the EAR; clarifying instructions for applying for authorization to transfer items subject to the EAR in-country; adding an alias for a previously listed entity on the Entity List; and removing references to two Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) that do not exist. The purpose of these amendments is to make corrections and clarifications to the EAR so the public will find them easier to use.
