U.S. final rule, dual-use goods and technologies
The U.S. Commerce Department, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), today released for publication in the Federal Register a final rule that revises the Commerce Control List (CCL) for the purpose of revising the CCL to implement changes for dual-use goods and technologies pursuant to the “Wassenaar Arrangement.”
As noted in today’s release [PDF 437 KB], the Wassenaar Arrangement concerns implementation of effective export controls on strategic items with the objective of improving regional and international security and stability. Today’s BIS final rule is intended to harmonize the CCL with only the agreements on recently developed or developing technologies not previously controlled “that are essential to the national security of the United States and warrant early implementation.” The BIS release states that the remaining agreements will be implemented in a separate rule.
The final rule is effective on May 23, 2019 (the date when it will be published in the Federal Register).
