View Rule

This rule describes how articles the President determines no longer warrant control under Category XIV (Toxicological Agents, Including Chemical Agents, Biological Agents, and Associated Equipment) or Category XVIII (Directed Energy Weapons) of the United States Munitions List (USML) will be controlled under the Commerce Control List (CCL). The affected Category XIV articles consist primarily of dissemination, detection and protection equipment and related articles and would be controlled under new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 1A607, 1B607, 1C607, 1D607, and 1E607, as set forth in this rule. The affected Category XVIII articles consist primarily of tooling, production equipment, test and evaluation equipment, test models and related articles and would be controlled under new ECCNs 6B619, 6D619 and 6E619, as set forth in this rule. This rule is part of the Administration's Export Control Reform Initiative announced by the President in 2009.
