-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is correcting a final rule that 
appeared in the Federal Register on December 6, 2024. This final rule 
revises the regulations on the Department of Commerce's review of 
transactions involving information and communications technology and 
services designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons 
owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of 
a foreign adversary that may pose undue or unacceptable risk to the 
United States or U.S. persons. That rule inadvertently omitted 
instructions to update certain regulatory language included in the 
rule. This document corrects the omissions in the December 6, 2024 
rule.

DATES: Effective February 4, 2025.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rachel O'Meara, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, Telephone: (202) 482-4124, email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4f060c1b3c3a3f3f23362c272e26210f2b202c61282039"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a8e1ebfcdbddd8d8c4d1cbc0c9c1c6e8ccc7cb86cfc7de">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 6, 2024, the Department of 
Commerce (Department) published in the Federal Register a final rule, 
``Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services 
Supply Chain'' (89 FR 96872). This final rule revised the regulations 
at 15 CFR part 791 on the Department's review of transactions involving 
information and communications technology and services (ICTS) designed, 
developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled 
by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a foreign adversary 
that may pose undue or unacceptable risk to the United States or U.S. 
persons. The revisions to 15 CFR part 791 inadvertently omitted 
instructions to update certain regulatory language included in the 
final rule. This document corrects the omissions inadvertently 
published in the Federal Register on December 6, 2024, specifically the 
omission of instructions to update certain paragraphs of Sec. Sec.  
791.3 and 791.100. While the related regulatory text was included in 
the final rule, the final rule unintentionally omitted the instructions 
to update introductory text for paragraph (a) in Sec.  791.3 and to add 
paragraph (a)(9) to Sec.  791.100. This document corrects the 
inadvertent omissions introduced by the December 6, 2024, final rule by 
instructing the Code of Federal Regulations to update introductory text 
for paragraph (a) in Sec.  791.3 and to add paragraph (a)(9) to Sec.  
791.100.
