OMB Approves 3 BIS Rulemakings – 7-12-24

Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs announced that it had approved three rulemaking actions by the DOC’s Bureau of Industry and Security:

Interim Final Rule - Standards-Related Activities and the Export Administration Regulations – Submitted May 17^th, 2024,

NPRM - Proposed Amendments to the Export Administration Regulations: Crime Controls and Expansion/Update of U.S. Persons Controls. – Submitted May 9^th, 2024,

NPRM - Proposed Amendments to End-Use and End-User Based Export Controls, Including U.S. Persons Activities Controls: Military and Intelligence End Uses and End Users. Submitted November 3^rd, 2023,

None of these rulemakings look like they are going to be of specific interest here, but you never can tell with the BIS. At the very least, I will mention the publication of these rules in my ‘Short Takes’ blog post on the day of publication.
