BIS Issuing Final Rule Amending CCL in Line with Nuclear Suppliers Group Agreements

The Bureau of Industry and Security is issuing a final rule, effective Dec. 27, to amend the Export Administration Regulations to reflect understandings reached at the June 2015 Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) Plenary meeting and certain understandings reached at this year’s plenary, BIS said (here). Amendments based on last year’s meeting address nuclear nonproliferation (NP) controls applying to certain centrifugal multiplane balancing machines under Commerce Control List (CCL) Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 2B229. Amendments based on the 2016 meeting address NP controls applying to certain linear displacement measuring systems listed under ECCN 2B206, and make changes to this description to conform with the NSG Annex, BIS said. Furthermore, the rule corrects an error in the technical parameters of ECCN 6A203.d, which describes certain radiation-hardened TV cameras (including lenses) subject to NP controls, BIS said.
