OIRA Completes Review of BIS Rule for 2019 Wassenaar Controls

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on Dec. 23 completed a review of a final Bureau of Industry and Security rule that will implement more export controls agreed to at the 2019 Wassenaar Arrangement plenary. BIS published the first set of controls from the plenary in October (see 2010020042) but has since experienced rulemaking delays (see 2012080046). OIRA received the rule Dec. 11 (see 2012140009).
