Upcoming BIS Rule Could Create New 'Plurilateral' Country Group

The Bureau of Industry and Security is drafting an interim final rule that could introduce a new “Plurilateral Consensus Coalition” country group into the Export Administration Regulations. The rule, sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs June 11, would make additions and revisions to the Commerce Control List and put in place a new License Exception Plurilateral Consensus Coalition (PCC) for certain exports to countries in the coalition.
