BIS Sends Cybersecurity-Related Rule for Interagency Review

The Bureau of Industry and Security sent a final rule for interagency review March 8 related to its new export controls over certain cybersecurity items (see 2110200036). BIS in January delayed the effective date for the rule to March 7 (see 2201110025) after receiving feedback from industry, which said the new controls should be tweaked so they don’t impede certain activities in the cybersecurity sector, including information sharing and exports to certain government end-users (see 2112130028). BIS said last month it was planning to make minor revisions to the rule to address some public comments (see 2202100026).
