Title: Export Administration Regulations: Revisions to Space-Related Export Controls 
Abstract:

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is finalizing changes to controls for spacecraft and related items under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) per an interim final rule published in October 2024. The IFR reduced license requirements on less sensitive items to reflect the close relations with certain countries to better facilitate space collaboration; and makes refinements and clarifications to existing controls. These changes will better enable a globally competitive U.S. space industrial base while continuing to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.
