SUMMARY: On July 29, 2024, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
published in the Federal Register the proposed rule, ``Proposed
Amendments to End-Use and End-User Based Export Controls, Including
U.S. Persons Activities Controls: Military and Intelligence End Uses
and End Users'' 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 be informed by the
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 60985 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
this rule is: BIS-2024-0029. Please refer to RIN 0694-AJ43 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 29, 2024, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
published in the Federal Register the proposed rule, ``Proposed
Amendments to End-Use and End-User Based Export Controls, Including
U.S. Persons Activities Controls: Military and Intelligence End Uses
and End Users'' (RIN 0694-AJ43)
[[Page 78836]]
(89 FR 60985), which proposed changes to existing restrictions under
the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts 730 through 744) on
military and intelligence end uses and end users and related U.S.
persons activities controls, as well as the proposed addition of a
military-support end-user control. On that same day, the Department of
State published a complementary proposed rule entitled ``International
Traffic in Arms Regulations: Revisions to Definition and Controls
Related to Defense Services'' (89 FR 60980) proposing a revision to the
definition of defense service at 22 CFR 120.32 of the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR parts 120 through 130) and
additions to the United States Munitions List at 22 CFR 121.1. In
response to requests from the regulated community, the Department of
Commerce is extending the comment period for this rule (RIN 0694-AJ43)
by 15 days.
