Title: ●Implementation of Certain Australia Group Decisions 
Abstract:

Section 1758 of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 authorizes BIS to establish appropriate controls on the export, reexport or transfer (in-country) of emerging and foundational technologies essential to the national security of the United States. Certain instruments for the automated synthesis of peptides (automated peptide synthesizers) have been identified by BIS for evaluation as a Section 1758 emerging and foundational technology. This final rule implements multilateral controls for these automated peptide synthesizers.
