What it does

By this rule, the Department eliminates an outdated regulation related to reports on exports of technology. The cited statutory basis for the regulation has been repealed, and its contents are plainly obsolete and pose a genuine risk of confusion. This action is necessary to ensure that the Department's body of regulations remains accurate, up-to-date, and in conformity with statutory law. This action is intended to reduce the possibility of public confusion and promote administrative efficiency.
