Commerce Renews Huawei TGL, Seeks Comments on Future Extensions

The Commerce Department extended the validity for its temporary general license for Huawei and 115 of its non-U.S. affiliates until May 15, the agency said in a notice. The extension replaces the previous license renewal for Huawei issued in February, which was set to expire April 1 (see 2002130059).

In a separate notice, Commerce said it is seeking comments on future extensions of temporary general licenses under the Export Administration Regulations. The agency said it will use the comments to evaluate whether it should continue extending temporary general licenses and “whether any other changes may be warranted to the temporary general license.” Commerce also said it wants to identify “any alternative authorization or other regulatory provisions” that may better address what its temporary general licenses’ authorize. Comments are due March 25.
