Both the addition and name change are amendments to Supplement No. 7 in part 748 of the EAR. As a VEU, Intel Semiconductor is now able to obtain EAR eligible items without a BIS export license. Regarding Lam Research Service Co., Ltd., BIS said it made the change to list the name of the U.S. company’s Chinese subsidiary because that is the actual name of the authorized VEU.
