SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 28, 2005 the Bureau of Industry and
Security published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking that
addresses possible regulatory and policy changes would revise the
Export Administration Regulations by adopting recommendations from a
report by the Office of Inspector General (OIG). Adopting the OIG's
recommendations would entail regulatory or other administrative action
related to clarifying the definition of ``use'' technology subject to
the EAR, evaluating a foreign national's successive citizenship or
permanent residency, and modifying regulatory guidance on licensing
technology to foreign nationals working with government-sponsored and
university-based research.
The deadline for public comment was May 27, 2005 (70 FR 15607). The
Bureau is now extending the comment period until June 27, 2005, to
allow the public more time to comment on this proposed rule.
Dated: May 20, 2005.
Eileen Albanese,
Director, Office of Exporter Services.
