Industry and Security Bureau February 23, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This final rule removes all reference in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to the supplement containing the list of persons denied export privileges (``Denied Persons List'' (DPL)) because no such supplement exists in the Code of Federal Regulations. In the past, such a supplement has been included only in the unofficial loose-leaf version of the EAR that is available by subscription from the U.S. Government Printing Office. In addition, the Bureau of Industry and Security provides notice to the public that it is discontinuing its practice of including in the loose-leaf version of the EAR both the DPL and the ``Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons'' (SDN) List. Revisions to the DPL and SDN List are issued on such a frequent basis as to make the quarterly, hard-copy versions of the lists included in the loose-leaf version of the EAR inaccurate. The removal of the DPL and SDN List from the loose-leaf version of the EAR will minimize any potential that parties might rely on an outdated list of persons denied export privileges under the EAR.
