BIS, informed by public comments on the Firearms IFR, has determined that the Firearms IFR should be rescinded in its entirety--with the only exception being to maintain new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs). This final rule also amends the EAR by removing the Congressional notification requirement for certain semi-automatic firearms license applications.
