BIS Making Routine Changes to EAR, NSBIR

The Bureau of Industry and Security on Feb. 29 will enact a final rule making routine updates to the Code of Federal Regulations legal authority citations in the National Security Industrial Base Regulations (NSBIR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR), BIS said (here). The changes will reflect recent editorial reclassifications in the United States Code, the removal of certain statutory authorities, continuation of an emergency declared through executive order, and minor stylistic edits, BIS said. The bureau is not accepting public comments, as it legally found “good cause” to waive prior notice and public comment requirements, in large part because the revisions “are not substantive,” BIS said.
