## Abstract

The Bureau of Export Administration is amending the short supply provisions of the Export Administration Regulations to modify the restrictions on exports of Alaskan North Slope crude oil and establish License Exception TAPS authorizing such exports, with certain conditions. License Exception TAPS is based on: 1) Public Law 104-58, which allows for the export of crude oil transported by pipeline over right-of-way granted pursuant to section 203 of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act (TAPS); 2) the President's April 28, 1996 determination that exports are in the national interest; and 3) the President's direction to the Secretary of Commerce to issue a License Exception with conditions for export of TAPS crude oil.
