Simplified Network Application Processing System, On-line Registration and Account Maintenance

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations to implement a mandatory on-line registration process for obtaining an account to submit license applications and similar documents electronically through SNAP-R. This final rule sets forth the information that parties registering on-line are required to provide to BIS and the duties that registered parties have with respect to keeping information in their accounts current. This rulemaking is consistent with the goals and principles of Executive Orders 13563 and 12866, which are to enhance effectiveness and efficiency and to promote transparency and openness in government, and the Presidential Memorandum on Regulatory Flexibility, Small Business, and Job Creation (January 18, 2011).
