SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On July 18, 2024, BIS published in the Federal Register the interim final rule (IFR), “Standards-Related Activities and the Export Administration Regulations” (89 FR 58265) that revised parts 734, 744 and 772 of the EAR. The revisions in the July 18, 2024, rule inadvertently reverted changes to part 744 that were amended in a final rule that BIS published on June 18, 2024 (89 FR 51644). This document corrects the inadvertent revisions introduced in the Federal Register on July 18, 2024, specifically to §§ 744.11, 744.16, and supplement no. 4 to part 744, to reintroduce language that was added in the June 18, 2024, rule that reflected the addition of paragraph (f) under § 744.16.
