The U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the Department of Commerce today issued an interim final rule (168 pages) revising the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to impose new controls on advanced computing integrated circuits (ICs) and artificial intelligence (AI) model weights.

The rule includes new license exceptions and updates to the Data Center Validated End User authorization to facilitate the export, reexport, and transfer of advanced computing ICs to end users in destinations that do not raise national security or foreign policy concerns.

The rule is effective today, but compliance is not required until 120 days after publication in the Federal Register (which is scheduled to be January 15, 2025). Comments on the rule are due within 120 days of publication in the Federal Register.
