Abstract
The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL), as part of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The changes made by this rule are based on discussions in the Australia Group (AG) and suggested changes by industry. This rule amends the CCL by revising Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 1C60 to clarify that this entry controls aqueous hydrofluoric acid. ECCN 1C60 controls dual-use precursors and intermediate chemicals useful in the production of chemical warfare agents and certain mixtures containing such chemicals. In addition, this rule adds Poland, Romania and the Slovak Republic to the list of Australia Group countries, thereby making them eligible for the license exceptions accorded AG members.
