Liberalization of Export Controls for Oscilloscopes (Including Certain Transient Recorders), Affected ECCNs: 3A202, 3A292, 3E001, 3E201, and 3E292

The Bureau of Export Administration maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL, 15 CFR part 774), which appears in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). This rule revises the reason for control for oscilloscopes (including certain transient recorders) from NP Column 1 to NP Column 2, in the Commerce Country Chart (Supplement No. 1 to 15 CFR part 738). In addition, revisions are made to NP Column 2 of the Commerce Country Chart, and Column [D:2] Nuclear of Country Group D, to reflect that Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Comoros, Djibouti, Micronesia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, and Vanuatu have signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. This revision will substantially reduce the paperwork burden on the public by decreasing the number of license applications exporters and reexporters are required to submit for oscilloscopes.
