View Rule

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to reflect changes to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex that were agreed to by MTCR member countries at the March 2018 Technical Experts Meeting (TEM) in Reykjavik, Iceland; November 2018 TEM in Basel, Switzerland; May 2019 TEM in Berlin, Germany; October 2019 TEM in Auckland, New Zealand; and October 2021 TEM in Sochi, Russian Federation.  This final rule revises six Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) to implement the changes that were agreed to at the meetings and to better align the missile technology (MT) controls on the Commerce Control List (CCL) with the MTCR Annex.  These changes are primarily editorial corrections to these ECCNs for consistency with the MTCR Annex.  This rule also expands the eligibility for the use of license exceptions under the EAR for missile technology (MT) controlled items.
