## Abstract

In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) makes changes to the Russian and Belarusian sanctions under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). This final rule expands the scope of the Russia/Belarus-Military End User (MEU) Foreign-Direct Product (FDP) rule, and renames it accordingly, so that the rule will also apply to transactions involving entities on the Entity List that pose a significant risk of involvement in the supply or diversion of items subject to the EAR to procurement networks for Russia's and Belarus's defense industry or intelligence services. This final rule also adds controls on the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or within Russia or Belarus of "software" for the operation of computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools. In addition, this final rule makes corrections and clarifications to certain aspects of the EAR's Russia and Belarus sanctions.
