Where Industry and Security Intersect
What's New | Sitemap | Search
On January 15, 1998, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) published an interim rule (63 FR 2452) that made changes to the Commerce Control List (CCL) necessary to implement the Wassenaar Arrangement. All items removed from national security controls as a result of the Wassenaar List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies continue to be controlled for antiterrorism reasons. Consistent with this revision, various antiterrorism Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs)were enlarged to accommodate the items removed from national security controls. In addition, in an effort to simplify and harmonize the antiterrorism controls on the CCL, the January 15 rule made the following renumbering revisions:
