BIS Sends First Set of Wassenaar 2021 Emerging Tech Decisions for Review

The Bureau of Industry and Security is preparing to issue new export control decisions involving emerging technologies agreed to at the 2021 Wassenaar Arrangement plenary. The interim final rule, sent for interagency review March 8, will harmonize the Commerce Control List with a portion of Wassenaar’s 2021 decisions for certain “recently developed or developing technologies,” BIS said. BIS will implement the remaining Wassenaar 2021 control decisions in a separate rule.
