AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 29, 2024, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
published in the Federal Register a proposed rule, ``Export
Administration Regulations: Crime Controls and Expansion/Update of U.S.
Persons Controls'' with comments originally due September 27, 2024.
This notification extends the deadline for written comments to October
15, 2024. This extension is being made to allow for commenters to have
additional time to review the proposed rule and to benefit from the
significant amount of public outreach that BIS is conducting on the
rule in preparing their comments. Extending the public comment period
will not in any way undermine the rule or national security of the
United States.
DATES: The comments period for the proposed rule published July 29,
2024, at 89 FR 60998 is extended. Comments must be received by BIS no
later than October 15, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Comments on this rule may be submitted to the Federal
rulemaking portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>). The <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> ID for the
rule entitled ``Export Administration Regulations: Crime Controls and
Expansion/Update of U.S. Persons Controls'' is BIS-2023-0006. Please
refer to RIN 0694-AI35 in all comments.
All filers using the portal should use the name of the person or
entity submitting the comments as the name of their files, in
accordance with the instructions below. Anyone submitting business
confidential information should clearly identify the business
confidential portion at the time of submission, file a statement
justifying nondisclosure and referring to the specific legal authority
claimed, and provide a non-confidential version of the submission. For
comments submitted electronically containing business confidential
information, the file name of the business confidential version should
begin with the characters ``BC.'' Any page containing business
confidential information must be clearly marked ``BUSINESS
CONFIDENTIAL'' on the top of that page. The corresponding non-
confidential version of those comments must be clearly marked
``PUBLIC.'' The file name of the non-confidential version should begin
with the character ``P.'' Any submissions with file names that do not
begin with either a ``BC'' or a ``P'' will be assumed to be public and
will be made publicly available through <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>.
Commenters submitting business confidential information are encouraged
to scan a hard copy of the non-confidential version to create an image
of the file, rather than submitting a digital copy with redactions
applied, to avoid inadvertent redaction errors which could enable the
public to read business confidential information.

rights or foreign-security end-user provisions set forth in the rule
entitled, ``Export Administration Regulations: Crime Controls and
Expansion/Update of U.S. Persons Controls'' contact Anthony Christino,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 29, 2024, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
published in the Federal Register a proposed rule entitled, ``Export
Administration Regulations: Crime Controls and Expansion/Update of U.S.
Persons Controls'' (89 FR 60998), which proposed to establish certain
Foreign-Security End User (FSEU) and ``U.S. persons'' activities
controls and Commerce Control List-based (CCL) controls. The proposed
additions of the foreign-security end user control and ``U.S. persons''
activities controls would implement expanded authority under the Export
Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA), as amended, to control certain
``U.S. persons'' activities under the EAR. BIS is proposing amendments
to control ``support'' furnished by ``U.S. persons'' to identified
FSEUs. In addition, BIS is proposing to add to the CCL two new
unilateral item controls on facial recognition technology.
In response to requests from the regulated community, the
Department of Commerce is extending the comment period for 15 days.
