BIS Issues Final Rule to Correct Typos, Add Conforming Definitions
The Bureau of Industry and Security has issued a final rule, effective September 21, 2011, that corrects reference and typographical errors in five parts of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and two categories of the Commerce Control List (CCL). BIS states that these corrections are editorial in nature and do not affect license requirements. (This final rule affects 15 CFR Part 743, 748, 772, 774 Supplement No. 1, and CCL Categories 3 and 5 (Part 2).)
