## Abstract

On December 31, 1998 (63 FR 72156), the Bureau of Export Administration published an interim rule revising the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to streamline U.S. controls for exports and reexports of encryption commodities and software. This revision implemented the Administration's September 1998 policy initiative for exports and reexports of encryption commodities and software to U.S. subsidiaries, insurance companies, health and medical end-users, on-line merchants and foreign commercial firms. This regulation amends the EAR by correcting three inadvertent typographic errors in the Encryption Items regulation which appeared in the Federal Register on December 31, 1998.
