Commerce Department, Export Administration Bureau
The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL), which identifies those items subject to Department of Commerce export licensing requirements based on their characteristics. Certain entries on the CCL implement multilateral national security controls established by the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods (the Wassenaar Arrangement), of which the United States is a founding member. The Wassenaar Arrangement controls strategic items with the objective of improving regional and international security and stability. In this regard, on December 1, 2000, the Wassenaar Arrangement agreed to implement several changes in its List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. This final rule revises the CCL to implement certain agreed changes in Category 4 (Computers) of the Wassenaar List of Dual- Use Goods and Technologies, specifically in the area of computers. These changes are being implemented to reflect rapid technological advances and effective control factors. Additional changes in other categories of the Wassenaar Dual-Use List will be implemented in the CCL in a supplemental regulation. In addition, this rule makes conforming and clarification revisions to License Exception CTP.
