OIRA Concludes Review of BIS Foundational Tech Rule

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on Aug. 24 completed its interagency review of a Bureau of Industry and Security pre-rule to pinpoint potential controls for foundational technologies. OIRA began its review Aug. 3 (see 2008040008). The long-awaited rule (see 2005190052 and 1911050052) is expected to ask for industry feedback on what types of existing, widely available technologies BIS should consider for controls.
