The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has updated the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by removing three entities from the Unverified List (UVL) after successful verification of their legitimacy and reliability in the end-use of items covered under the EAR. The entities removed from the UVL include DMA Logistics GmbH in Germany and Integrated Production and Test Engineering (IPTE) in Mexico. This action restores the eligibility of these entities to use license exceptions for exports, reexports, and transfers under the EAR. The rule takes effect on January 11, 2021, and is not considered significant under Executive Orders 13563 and 12866.

In a new rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) removed Sudan from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, effective December 14, 2020. This change means Sudan is no longer subject to certain export controls, allowing it to be eligible for more license exceptions. Sudan has been moved from the list of countries supporting terrorism to Country Group B, which makes it easier to export certain U.S. products to Sudan. However, some licensing restrictions remain on specific exports and reexports.
