Package of rules designed to update export controls
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce today issued a release [PDF 152 KB] announcing a package of rules designed to update export controls on advanced computing semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, as well as items that support supercomputing applications and end-uses, to arms-embargoed countries, including China, and to place additional related entities in China on the “entity list.”
- The advanced computing/supercomputing chips interim final rule [PDF 808 KB] (287 pages) addresses comments received in response to only the part of an October 2022 interim final rule that controls advanced computing integrated circuits (ICs) and computer commodities that contain such ICs. The rule also makes other changes to make the controls more effective and less burdensome, including by correcting and clarifying the controls to more effectively achieve the policy objectives identified in the October 2022 interim final rule.
- The expansion of export controls on semiconductor manufacturing items interim final rule [PDF 571 KB] (121 pages) addresses comments received in response to only the part of an October 2022 interim final rule that controls semiconductor manufacturing equipment (SME) and amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement SME controls more effectively and to address ongoing national security concerns.
Together, these interim final rules revise the October 2022 interim final rule. Read TradeNewsFlash
Lastly, BIS amends the EAR by adding 13 entities to the entity list under the destination of China. The entities are involved in the development of advanced computing ICs. Read the final rule [PDF 257 KB]
