Abstract
The Bureau of Export Administration maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL), which appears in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). This rule revises the scope of controls applicable to vaccines that contain Australia Group (AG) controlled microorganisms or toxins that are currently classified under 1C61B. This rule amends the CCL by creating a new Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 1C91F to authorize the export of vaccines that contain AG-controlled microorganisms or toxins under the provisions of General License G-DEST to eligible destinations (i.e. all destinations except Country Groups S and Z, and Iran). This rule will reduce the licensing and paperwork burden on U.S. exporters of vaccines without jeopardizing U.S. policy objectives in stemming the proliferation of biological weapons.
