BIS Makes Minor Technical Amendments to Recent Rules

The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security issued a final rule to make technical corrections to two recent BIS revisions to the Export Administration Regulations. Effective Aug. 18, the final rule makes minor amendments to the BIS May 13 rule that transfers export controls on spacecraft, including satellites, from U.S. Munitions List Category XV (Spacecraft and Related Articles) to the Commerce Control List (see 14051224). The BIS final rule also makes minor amendments to a June 5 rule that made technical corrections to a number of previous rules (see 14060425).
