OMB Approves BIS Missile Technology Export Final Rule

Yesterday, OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved a final rule from DOC’s Bureau of Industry and Security on “Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations Based on 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022 Missile Technology Control Regime Plenary Agreements; and Revisions to License Exception Eligibility”. The rule was submitted to OMB on August 25th, 2023.

The entry for this rulemaking in the 2023 Spring Unified Agenda notes:

“This final rule makes revisions to the Export Administration Regulations based on 2021 and 2022 Missile Technology Control Regime Plenary Agreements; and Revisions to License Exception Eligibility”

Unless you closely follow these international arms control discussions (and I do not), there is no reasonable way to determine what BIS may include in these rules. Since cybersecurity issues have been covered in the past, I mention these now.
