In light of the Government of Burma's continued repression of the democratic opposition in Burma and unwillingness to respond to the calls of the Burmese people for genuine dialogue that will lead to a democratic transition in Burma, this final rule amends the EAR to extend these existing licensing requirements to persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13464 of April 30, 2008.

Request for Public Comment on Foreign Produced Encryption Items That are made from U.S.-origin Encryption technology or software WordPerfect || PDF || ASCII || Format

To determine the appropriate extent and scope of U.S. export controls on foreign products that are direct products of U.S. origin encryption technology or software, BIS is considering making subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) all foreign items that would be controlled for Encryption Items (“EI”) reasons under the EAR (i.e., that would be classified under ECCN 5A002 or 5D002) if they are the direct product of U.S.-origin ECCN 5E002 technology or ECCN 5D002 software. BIS is seeking information regarding the impact this change would have on both U.S. exporters of encryption technology and software and foreign manufacturers of products that are derived in part or whole from U.S.-origin encryption technology or software. Comments are due March 9, 2009.
