| 00-5516 | Revisions to License Exception CTP | Rule | The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by revising License Exception CTP to reflect continuing technological advancement in the computer industry. Accordingly, High Performance Computers (HPCs) with a composite theoretical performance (CTP) of up to 33,000 millions of theoretical operations per second (MTOPS) can be exported to Computer Tier 2 countries, and HPCs with a CTP up to 20,000 MTOPS can be exported to civilian end-users and end-uses in Computer Tier 3 destinations under License Exception CTP. For military end-users and end-uses in Computer Tier 3 countries, the CTP limit remains at 6,500 MTOPS until August 14, 2000, when it is raised to 12,500 MTOPS. This coincides with the date this rule raises the advance notification level for HPC exports to Computer Tier 3 countries to 12,500 MTOPS. As required by the National Defense Authorization Act of 1998 (NDAA), changes in the advance notification level for HPC exports to Tier 3 destinations are only effective 180 days following the submission of a report to Congress. This report was sent to Congress on February 16, 2000. This rule also moves Romania from Computer Tier 3 to Computer Tier 2, effective June 15, 2000, and links the level of HPCs requiring post-shipment verification reporting to the advance notification level for HPC exports to Computer Tier 3 destinations. This rule also revises the Commerce Control List (CCL) to liberalize the national security thresholds for digital computers to conform with recently agreed changes in the Wassenaar List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies, and corrects/updates the mailing address for submission of post-shipment reports. | 2000-03-10 | 2000 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/03/10/00-5516/revisions-to-license-exception-ctp | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-03-10/pdf/00-5516.pdf | Commerce Department; Export Administration Bureau | 54,150 | The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by revising License Exception CTP to reflect continuing technological advancement in the computer industry.
