Export Control Modernization: Strategic Trade Authorization License Exception
Document Number: 2010-30968
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-12-09
Agency: Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, Industry and Security Bureau
This proposed rule would add a new license exception to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The exception would allow exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) of specified items to destinations that pose little risk of unauthorized use of those items. To provide assurance against diversion to unauthorized destinations, transactions under this license exception would be subject to notification, destination control statement and consignee statement requirements. This proposed rule is part of the Administration's Export Control Reform Initiative undertaken as a result of the fundamental review of the U.S. export control system announced by the President in August 2009.
Commerce Control List: Revising Descriptions of Items and Foreign Availability
Document Number: 2010-30966
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-12-09
Agency: Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, Industry and Security Bureau
As part of the President's export control reform initiative, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) seeks public comments on how the descriptions of items controlled on the Commerce Control List (CCL) of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) could be more clear and positive and ``tiered'' in a manner consistent with the control criteria the Administration has developed as part of the reform effort. The request for comments on how items on the CCL could be tiered includes a request for comments on the degree to which a controlled item provides the United States with a critical, substantial, or significant military or intelligence advantage; and the availability of the item outside certain groups of countries.
