Removal of “National Security” Controls From, and Imposition of “Regional Stability” Controls on, Certain Items on the Commerce Control List

This rule amends the Commerce Control List (CCL) to remove "National Security" (NS) controls from, and to impose "Regional Stability" (RS) controls on, certain items in order to conform with section 5(c)(6)(A) of the Export Administration Act (Act), which limits the duration of U.S. unilaterally imposed NS controls. Although the Act has expired, the Bureau of Industry and Security continues to carry out the provisions of the Act, as appropriate and to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222 and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. This rule also revises two references to the "International Munitions List" to read "Wassenaar Munitions List" to reflect the correct current title of that document and amends the language controlling muzzle loading (black powder) firearms to conform with the corresponding language on the Wassenaar Munitions List.
