President Announces Export Control Reform Implementation Steps
President Obama announced the first implementation steps in his drive to reform the U.S. export control system today.
The announcement was made at a meeting of the President’s Export Council. According to the White House press release, the main features of today’s implementation steps are the following:
The publication of a draft rule setting out the criteria and procedures to be used in determining whether a product is subject to export controls.
The application of these criteria to one category of items (Category VII: Tanks and Military Vehicles), to be seen as an example of how the new policies would apply.
The publication of a draft rule specifying what licensing policies will apply to products subject to export controls.
The Administration is seeking public comment on the draft rules.
