        <RULE_TITLE>Implementation of the Wassenaar Arrangement List of Dual-Use Items: Revisions to the Commerce Control List and Reporting Under the Wassenaar Arrangement</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The United States and 27 allied countries are implementing a new regime to succeed the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) which dissolved on March 31, 1994. The new organization, called the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies, is expected to implement controls in April 1996. New lists of goods to be controlled have been agreed by the members, who will each have to amend their existing national procedures to harmonize them with the Wassenaar Arrangement. Commerce will need to make extensive changes in the Commerce Control List when the Wassenaar Arrangement dual-use control list becomes effective. ^PIn addition, procedural guidelines and provisions for sharing information between members will have to be harmonized in members' national regulations. Commerce will need to amend the Export Administration Regulations to reflect the Wassenaar guidelines and information-sharing provision agreed on by the members.]]></ABSTRACT>
