        <RULE_TITLE>Wassenaar Arrangement 2017 Plenary Agreements Implementation; India</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains, as part of its Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Commerce Control List (CCL), which identifies certain items subject to Department of Commerce jurisdiction.  This final rule revises the CCL, as well as corresponding parts of the EAR, to implement changes made to the Wassenaar Arrangement List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (WA List) maintained and agreed to by governments participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement, or WA) at the December 2017 WA Plenary meeting. The Wassenaar Arrangement advocates implementation of effective export controls on strategic items with the objective of improving regional and international security and stability. This rule harmonizes the CCL with the agreements reached at the 2017 Plenary meeting by revising Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) controlled for national security reasons in each category of the CCL, as well as making other associated changes to the EAR. This rule also adds India to the list of Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States in the EAR, as well as removing license requirements for less sensitive national security items for India. India is the 42nd member of the Wassenaar Arrangement.]]></ABSTRACT>
