Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved a final rule from the DOC’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) on “Control of Laboratory Equipment and Related Technology and Software”. This would be the final action on an interim final rule that was published on January 16th, 2025. This final rule was sent to OIRA on September 23rd, 2025.
According to the Spring 2025 Unified Agenda entry for this rulemaking:
“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.”
I probably will not be covering this final rule in any
detail when it is published next week, but I will at least mention it in the
appropriate Short Takes post when it is published.
