Encryption Simplification (Us Bureau of Industry and Security Regulation) (Bis) (2018 Edition) (Paperback)

The Law Library presents the complete text of the Encryption Simplification (US Bureau of Industry and Security Regulation) (BIS) (2018 Edition).

Updated as of May 29, 2018 This interim final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to make the treatment of encryption items more consistent with the treatment of other items subject to the EAR, as well as to simplify and clarify regulations pertaining to encryption items.

The restrictions pertaining to technical assistance by U.S.

persons with respect to encryption items are removed, because the current export and reexport restrictions set forth in the EAR for technology already include technical assistance.

This rule also removes License Exception KMI as it has become obsolete because of developments in uses of encryption.
