Bureau of Industry and Security May 27, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to reflect changes to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex that were agreed to by MTCR member countries at the October 2013 Plenary in Rome, Italy, and at the 2013 Technical Experts Meeting in Bonn, Germany. This final rule revises eight Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs), adds one new ECCN and lastly revises two defined terms (the definition of ``payload'' and ``repeatability'') to implement the changes that were agreed to at the meetings.

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.
