Title: Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations: Initial Implementation of Export Control Reform | |
Abstract: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Department of Commerce, is currently engaged in the Export Control Reform Initiative (ECR), which will fundamentally reform the U.S. export control system. This effort would control under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) items that are determined by the President to no longer warrant control under the Department of State's International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), once congressional notification requirements and corresponding amendments to the ITAR and the EAR are completed. The Departments of Commerce and State have published and plan to publish numerous rules changing the jurisdictional status of specific items. This rule addresses issues faced by Government and industry in the transition period during which this reform will be implemented and complements the Export Control Transition Plan, a proposed policy statement and request for comments issued by the Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. On January 18, 2011, President Barack Obama issued Executive Order 13563, affirming general principles of regulation and directing Government agencies to conduct retrospective reviews of existing regulations. Although the Export Control Reform Initiative did not originate with Executive Order 13563, it is entirely consistent in spirit and substance. Among other things, the President emphasized that regulations must be accessible and easy to understand. This rule proposes revisions to license exceptions for Government uses and temporary exports that streamline and update unduly complex or outmoded provisions in addition to broadening certain provisions to implement Export Control Reform. | |
