Bureau of Industry and Security July 25, 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This is the second proposed rule to describe how military electronics and certain superconducting and cryogenic equipment and related items the President determines no longer warrant control under the United States Munitions List (USML) would be controlled on the Commerce Control List (CCL). This proposed rule also would amend ECCNs 7A001 and 7A101 to apply the ``missile technology'' reason for control only to items in those ECCNs on the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex. This action is one in a planned series of proposed rules that would implement the Administration's Export Control Reform Initiative by describing how certain types of articles would be controlled on the CCL after the President determines that the articles no longer warrant USML control. This proposed rule is being published in conjunction with a proposed rule from the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, which would amend the list of articles controlled by USML Category XI. The revisions proposed in this rule are part of Commerce's retrospective plan under EO 13563 completed in August 2011.
