Expansion of General License GFW; Editorial Corrections to the Export Administration Regulations

This final rule revises the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by expanding General License GFW eligibility to include certain semiconductor manufacturing equipment controlled under ECCN 3B01A, except a.2., a.3., e. and f. The expansion of General License GFW to include these items is expected to result in a decrease in the number of license applications submitted, thereby reducing the paperwork burden on exporters. This final rule also makes three editorial corrections to the EAR to correct inconsistencies which appeared in an interim rule titled ``Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations: Reform of Computer Export Controls; Establishment of General License G-CTP'', which was published in the Federal Register on January 25, 1996.
