Title: ●Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to Address the Movement of Less Significant Items From the United States Munitions List (USML) to the Commerce Control List (CCL) 
Abstract: In August 2009, President Obama directed a fundamental review of the U.S. Export control system be conducted. This review included a fundamental review of the two primary control lists of the U.S. Export control system (i.e., the Commerce Control List (CCL) and the United States Munitions List (USML)). In December 2010, the Departments of Commerce and State each published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM requesting public comments on creating more "positive" and clear control lists and recommendations for how items listed on the two control lists could be tiered based on criteria developed during the Export Control Reform (ECR) initiative. An integral part of creating a "positive" USML requires a proper control structure be put into place under the EAR to appropriately control the less significant items moved from the USML to the CCL, which is the subject of this proposed rule. This proposed rule outlines the control structure developed under the ECR initiative to ensure appropriate controls are in place for these less significant items moved from the USML to the CCL.
