BIS Sends Lab Equipment Final Rule to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a final rule from the DOC’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) on “Control of Laboratory Equipment and Related Technology and Software”. This rule would complete action on the interim final rule (IFR) that was published on January 16th, 2025.

According to the abstract for this rulemaking in the Spring 2025 Unified agenda:

“The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is finalizing revisions to an interim final rule published in January 2025 which amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to address the accelerating development and deployment of advanced biotechnology tools contrary to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.”
