Title: ●Implementation of a Decision Adopted Under the AG Intersessional Silent Approval Procedures in 2010 
Abstract: This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement a decision based on a proposal that was discussed at the 2010 AG Plenary and adopted under the AG intersessional silent approval procedures in November 2010. This rule amends the EAR, consistent with the intersessional changes to the AG's "List of Biological Agents for Export Control," to clarify the scope of the AG-related controls in the EAR for "South American haemorrhagic fever (Sabia, Flexal, Guanarito)" and "Pulmonary and renal syndrome-haemorrhagic fever viruses (Seoul, Dobrava, Puumala, Sin Nombre)." Specifically, this rule amends the Commerce Control List (CCL) entry that controls human and zoonotic pathogens and "toxins" by revising the list of viruses in the entry to remove these two fevers and replace them with ten viral causative agents for the fevers. These changes are intended to more clearly identify the causative agents that are of concern for purposes of the controls maintained by the AG.
