On September 6, 2024, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the Department of Commerce published a rule in the Federal Register that accidentally contained some errors. This new rule, effective December 27, 2024, corrects those errors related to national security, regional stability, and special reporting/export controls in specific sections of the Export Administration Regulations. The changes involve correcting incorrect citations and redesignating paragraph numbers to ensure the proper application of export control laws, in line with the Export Control Reform Act of 2018.
Simple Explanation
The government made a mistake in some rules about selling advanced technology to other countries and fixed them, so everything is correct now, just like their friends in other countries do.
