BIS Corrects Savings Clause Date in Entity List Rule
The Bureau of Industry and Security corrected a date error in the savings clause of a final rule this week that added 12 entities to its Entity List (see 2503250075). The savings clause says that all exports that now require a license as a result of the rule but were aboard a carrier to a port as of March 25 may proceed to their destinations under the previous eligibility as long as they are exported by April 24. Any items not exported before midnight April 24 will require a license.

A previous version of the rule said those exports could proceed as long as they were exported before March 25. BIS corrected that date to read April 24.
BIS didn’t immediately acknowledge the correction, and the agency didn’t respond to a March 25 request for comment about the error.
The rule took effect March 25 but is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register March 28.
