## Abstract

The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL), which identifies those items subject to Department of Commerce export controls. The CCL also reflects multilateral national security controls established by the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods (the Wassenaar Arrangement), of which the United States is a founding member. The Wassenaar Arrangement controls strategic items with the objective of improving regional and international security and stability. In this regard, on December 1, 2000, the Wassenaar Arrangement agreed to implement several changes in its List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. This final rule revises the CCL to implement certain recently agreed changes in Category 3 (Electronics) and Category 4 (Computers) of the Wassenaar List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies, specifically in the areas of microprocessors, graphic accelerators, and external interconnects. This change is being implemented to reflect rapid technological advances and controllability factors. Additional changes in the Wassenaar Dual-Use List will be implemented in the CCL in a supplemental regulation.
