Exports of Agricultural Commodities, Medicines and Medical Devices

This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement certain provisions of the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act (TSRA) of 2000. The TSRA requires the President to terminate existing U.S. unilateral agricultural and medical sanctions and also provides that the export of agricultural commodities, medicines and medical devices to designated terrorist countries be made in accordance with the licensing regime described in that Act. The Department of Commerce is implementing TSRA as it relates to exports of agricultural commodities to Cuba. This rule establishes License Exception Agricultural Commodities (AGR) to permit exports and reexports to Cuba of agricultural commodities that are not specifically identified on the Commerce Control List (CCL) and are classified as EAR99. The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is implementing TSRA as it relates to exports to Iran, Libya, and Sudan of agricultural commodities, medicines and medical devices that are not specifically identified on the CCL and are classified as EAR99.
