BIS Seeking Comments on TSRA Licensing and Foreign Policy Controls
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published in today's Federal Register two notices requesting public comments.
The first notice requests comments on the effectiveness of its licensing procedures for the export of agricultural commodities to Cuba pursuant the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000(TSRA). The comments will be used BIS in preparing its biennial report to Congress that is required by TSRA. Parties submitting comments are asked to be as specific as possible, such as providing details on the average amount of time elapsed from the date of filing of a license application until the date of its approval.
The second notice states that BIS is seeking comments on continuing or revising existing U.S. foreign policy-based export controls for another year. BIS is interested in receiving comments and information on how foreign-policy based export controls have affected exporters and the general public, such as the economic impact of proliferation controls.
Comments on both topics must be submitted to BIS by November 22, 2006. The details on where to submit comments are contained in the notices.
