OMB Approves BIS 2022 Wassenaar Final Rule

On Friday, the 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 (BIS) on “Implementation of 2022 Wassenaar Arrangement Decisions”. The rule was submitted to OIRA on July 18th, 2023.

According to the entry for this rule making in the Spring 2023 Unified Agenda:

“The Bureau of Industry and Security is amending the Export Administration Regulations.  This final rule revises the Commerce Control List to reflect implementation of 2022 Wassenaar Arrangement decisions.”

As I noted in my earlier post: “At this point it would be hard to determine from public documents whether this rule will include changes affecting cyber or cybersecurity product classifications.”

We may see this final rule published in the Federal Register later this week.
