Public comments may be submitted by August 18, 2008, to the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) on two recommendations of the Deemed Export Advisory Committee. Specifically, BIS wants to know:

Whether the scope of technologies on the Commerce Control List that are subject to deemed export licensing should be narrowed, and if so, which technologies should be retained on the list

Whether a more comprehensive set of criteria should be used to assess country affiliation for foreign nationals with respect to deemed exports

The recommendations and instructions for delivering comments are in the Federal Register at www.bis.doc.gov/pdf/deac_notif_051908.pdf.
