OIRA Begins Review of BIS Rule to Suspend Hong Kong License Exceptions

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs began an interagency review for a final Bureau of Industry and Security rule to suspend license exceptions for Hong Kong. OIRA received the rule July 10. BIS announced last month it was suspending license exceptions for shipments to the region and issued a guidance and a savings clause for exports affected by the move (see 2006300050).
