Latest FEMA Export Exemptions Took Effect in May, Spokesperson Clarifies

The Federal Emergency Management Agency published its latest exemptions for exports of certain medical equipment June 14 in a notice in the Federal Register but did not give an effective date. Those changes took effect May 19, a FEMA spokesperson said in an email. “The policy around [the exemptions] was evaluated and changed in May,” the FEMA spokesperson said in a June 16 email. The changes exempted four categories of personal protective equipment from export restrictions (see 2105200065).
