| 2016-30099 | Implementation of the February 2016 Australia Group (AG) Intersessional Decisions and the June 2016 AG Plenary Understandings | Rule | The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) publishes this final rule to amend the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the recommendations presented at the February 2016 Australia Group (AG) Intersessional Implementation Meeting, and later adopted pursuant to the AG silent approval procedure, and the understandings reached at the June 2016 AG Plenary Implementation Meeting. This rule amends two Commerce Control List (CCL) entries to reflect the February 2016 Intersessional Implementation Meeting recommendations that were adopted by the AG. Specifically, this rule amends the CCL entry that controls certain human and zoonotic pathogens and toxins to reflect the AG updates to the nomenclature for certain bacteria and toxins identified on the AG "List of Human and Animal Pathogens and Toxins for Export Control." In addition, this rule amends the CCL entry that controls equipment capable of handling biological materials to reflect the AG updates to the controls on cross (tangential) flow filtration equipment described on the AG "Control List of Dual-Use Biological Equipment and Related Technology and Software." Consistent with the understandings adopted at the June 2016 AG Plenary Implementation Meeting that updated the AG "List of Human and Animal Pathogens and Toxins for Export Control," this rule amends the CCL entry that controls certain human and zoonotic pathogens and toxins by removing dengue fever virus, updating the nomenclature of the listing for conotoxin, and consolidating the controls for Shiga toxin and Verotoxin (and other Shiga-like ribosome inactivating proteins) under a single listing. This rule also amends the CCL entry that controls equipment capable of handling biological materials by updating the controls on biological containment facilities and related equipment and the controls on fermenters, consistent with the AG Plenary Implementation Meeting updates to the AG "Control List of Dual-Use Biological Equipment and Related Technology and Software." | 2016-12-16 | 2016 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/16/2016-30099/implementation-of-the-february-2016-australia-group-ag-intersessional-decisions-and-the-june-2016-ag | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-12-16/pdf/2016-30099.pdf | Commerce Department; Industry and Security Bureau | 54,241 | The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) publishes this final rule to amend the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the recommendations presented at the February 2016 Australia Group (AG) Intersessional Implementation Meeting, and... |
