## Abstract

The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL) as part of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). This rule amends the CCL by revising Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 1C991, 1C61B, 1B71E, and 1C91F. The changes made by this rule are based on discussions in the Biological Warfare Experts Group (a subgroup of the Australia Group (AG)). This rule will minimally increase the number of validated export licenses required for items classified under ECCN 1C61B and 1B71E. The EAR have been completely amended by an interim rule published on March 25, 1996 (61 FR 12714) that provides for a transition period within which exporters can take advantage of both the old rules and the new rules until November 1, 1996. Therefore, this rule and all other amendments to the EAR during the transition period will amend both the new EAR and the old EAR, which are now designated with the letter ``A'' following the part number. This rule consists primarily of changes to the old EAR to conform to the new EAR, except changes to ECCNs 1C991 and 1C91F.
