U.S. State Department extends temporary modification of USML Category XI(b)
Two-year extension of temporary ITAR modification affecting controls over certain intelligence-related electronic systems, equipment, and software
The U.S. Department of State today released a final rule extending for two years a temporary modification to Category XI(b) of the U.S. Munitions List (USML) under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
The extension preserves the scope of control that existed before December 30, 2014, by continuing to cover certain intelligence-related electronic systems, equipment, and software, including items that “analyze and produce information from” the electromagnetic spectrum.
The rule is effective August 30, 2026. Unless further action is taken, the temporary modification expires August 30, 2028.
