Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations; Exports and Reexports to Specially Designated Terrorists and Foreign Terrorist Organizations

This interim rule amends the end-user and end-use control policy of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to impose new foreign policy controls on exports and certain reexports to persons identified as Specially Designated Terrorists or Foreign Terrorist Organizations and listed in the Appendices to 31 CFR Chapter V published by the Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). (The term ``person'' includes individuals as well as entities or other organizations.) Specifically, this rule creates a new Sec. 744.10 and Sec. 744.11 that set forth the license requirements for exports and certain reexports of items subject to the EAR to these persons. To avoid duplication, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) will not require a separate license when the Office of Foreign Assets Control has authorized an export or reexport to a Specially Designated Terrorist.
