View Rule

On October 7, 2022, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) released the interim final rule (IFR), Implementation of Additional Export Controls: Certain Advanced Computing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Items; Supercomputer and Semiconductor End Use; Entity List Modification (October 7 IFR) (87 FR 62186), which amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement controls on advanced computing integrated circuits (ICs), computer commodities that contain such ICs, and certain semiconductor manufacturing items, and to make other EAR changes to implement appropriate related controls, including on certain U.S. person” activities.  This Advanced Computing/Supercomputing IFR (AC/S IFR) rule addresses comments received in response to only the part of the October 7 IFR that controls advanced computing integrated circuits and computer commodities that contain such ICs.  This rule also makes other changes to make the controls more effective and less burdensome where possible, including by correcting and clarifying the controls to more effectively achieve the policy objectives identified in the October 7 IFR.
