Coalition Seeking Extension of Deadline to Submit Comments on BIS's Proposed Deemed Export Regulation
A coalition comprised of a number of prominent trade-related associations is requesting the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to grant a 60-day extension of the May 27, 2005 deadline to submit comments on BIS's March 28, 2005 advance notice of proposed rulemaking regarding revisions to and clarifications of the "deemed export" regulatory requirements.
BIS's proposed changes to the regulations governing the issuance of "deemed export" licenses for the transfer of controlled technology to foreign nationals in the U.S. has unleashed a considerable amount of interest and concern from academia and the business community. These concerns were reflected by the large attendance at last Friday's workshop on the deemed export issue at the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in Washington, DC. A link to the recording of the NAS workshop and the presentations made by Acting Under Secretary Lichtenbaum and others can be found at the following link: www7.nationalacademies.org/rscans/.
