Industry and Security Bureau January 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On Wednesday, December 29, 2004, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a final rule that amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the understandings reached at the June 2004 plenary meeting of the Australia Group (AG) and through a subsequent AG intersessional decision. The December 29, 2004, final rule contained a typographical error in the description of the AG-related license requirements in the EAR, as well as an error in the amendatory language for ECCN 2B351, which controls certain toxic gas monitoring systems and dedicated detectors therefor. This document corrects those errors.

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 document extends until February 7, 2005, the deadline for public comments on the proposed rule that would amend the Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations (CWCR) by updating them to include additional requirements identified in the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and to clarify other CWC requirements. This extension of time would allow the public additional time to comment on the rule.
