BIS-2020-0017 BIS Authorization of Certain ‘‘Items’’ to Entities on the Entity List in the Context of Specific Standards Activities Rulemaking 2024-09-18T11:07:57Z 0b0000648465136a Not Assigned On September 9, 2022, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a second interim final rule with request for comments which amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to authorize the release of specified items subject to the EAR without a license when that release occurs in the context of a “standards-related activity,” as defined in this rule. The comment period for the rule closes on November 8, 2022. BIS is revising the terms used in the EAR to describe the actions permissible under the authorization rather than defining the organizations to which it applies. The scope of the authorization is revised to include certain “technology” as well as “software” and applies to all entities listed on BIS's Entity List. The uncertainty of not knowing whether other entities listed on the Entity List are participants in standards organizations and whether a BIS license is required to release low-level technology for legitimate standards activities has caused U.S. companies to limit their participation in standards-related activities in areas that are critical to U.S. national security. This authorization only overcomes licensing requirements imposed as a result of an entity's inclusion on the Entity List; other EAR licensing requirements, including additional end-use or end-user based licensing requirements may continue to apply. This final rule does not change the assessment of whether “technology” or “software” is subject to the EAR. BIS is making these revisions to ensure that export controls and associated compliance concerns as they relate to the Entity List do not impede the leadership and participation of U.S. companies in national and international standards-related activities.   EAR ["Enforcement", "Export clearance", "Item specific", "Use/user", "Huawei", "Huawei Technologies", "Standards", "Standards organizations", "5G", "4G"]         {"displayProperties": [], "keywords": ["Enforcement", "Export clearance", "Item specific", "Use/user", "Huawei", "Huawei Technologies", "Standards", "Standards organizations", "5G", "4G"], "modifyDate": "2024-09-18T11:07:57Z", "dkAbstract": "On September 9, 2022, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a second interim final rule with request for comments which amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to authorize the release of specified items subject to the EAR without a license when that release occurs in the context of a \u201cstandards-related activity,\u201d as defined in this rule. \n\nThe comment period for the rule closes on November 8, 2022. \n\nBIS is revising the terms used in the EAR to describe the actions permissible under the authorization rather than defining the organizations to which it applies.
