State Dept. Concludes Interagency Review for Cyprus ITAR Rule

The State Department concluded an interagency review for a final rule that would amend certain export restrictions involving Cyprus within the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. The agency sent the rule to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Aug. 17, and the review was completed Aug. 30. The agency earlier this month said it plans to again renew a measure that temporarily suspends restrictions on certain defense exports to Cyprus (see 2308210013).
