Under this IFR, any entity that is at least 50 percent owned by one or more entities on the Entity List will itself automatically be subject to Entity List restrictions. This is a marked improvement over the current standard, which excludes all entities that are not specifically included on the Entity List, regardless of affiliation with Entity List entities. This IFR similarly applies restrictions to entities at least 50 percent owned by listed `military end users' and certain sanctioned parties. The 50 percent ownership standard in this IFR is designed to be consistent with longstanding Department of the Treasury practice, so as to limit the additional burden on the business community.","document_number":"2025-19001","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/09/30/2025-19001/expansion-of-end-user-controls-to-cover-affiliates-of-certain-listed-entities","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-09-30/pdf/2025-19001.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-19001.pdf?1759149921","publication_date":"2025-09-30","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Industry and Security","name":"Industry and Security Bureau","id":241,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/industry-and-security-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/241","parent_id":54,"slug":"industry-and-security-bureau"}],"excerpts":"Analysis is required, and none has been prepared.\n \n \n List of Subjects \n \n Administrative practice and procedure, <span class=\"match\">Exports</span>, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. \n \n Administrative practice and procedure, <span class=\"match\">Exports</span>, Inventions and patents, Research, Science and technology. \n \n <span class=\"match\">Exports</span>. \n \n <span class=\"match\">Exports</span>, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Terrorism. \n \n Accordingly, parts 732, 734, 736, 744, and 748 of the <span class=\"match\">Export</span> <span class=\"match\">Administration</span> Regulations (15 CFR parts 730 through 774) are amended as follows: \n \n PART 732—STEPS FOR USING THE EAR \n \n \n 1.

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.

This action is consistent with the State Department's addition of Nicaragua to the list of countries that are subject to a U.S. arms embargo under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). To reflect this changed status under the ITAR, BIS adds Nicaragua to Country Group D:5. BIS's amendments also address concerns regarding the Nicaraguan Government's commission of human rights abuses against citizens and civil society groups, as well as the regime's ongoing military and security cooperation with Russia. Specifically, BIS is moving Nicaragua from Country Group B to Country Group D, a more restrictive country grouping, applying a stringent licensing policy for items controlled for national security reasons, and making the country subject to `military end use' and `military end user' restrictions. This rule advances the U.S. Government's efforts to restrict the availability of items subject to the EAR to Nicaragua's military and security services. Additionally, consistent with BIS's authorities under the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, this rule demonstrates a commitment to using export controls to protect human rights and promote democracy.","document_number":"2024-05696","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/03/15/2024-05696/revisions-to-export-reexport-and-transfer-in-country-controls-for-nicaragua-under-the-export","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-03-15/pdf/2024-05696.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-05696.pdf?1710420341","publication_date":"2024-03-15","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Industry and Security","name":"Industry and Security Bureau","id":241,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/industry-and-security-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/241","parent_id":54,"slug":"industry-and-security-bureau"}],"excerpts":"exception eligibility or eligibility for <span class=\"match\">export</span>, reexport or transfer (in-country) without a license as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an <span class=\"match\">exporting</span> carrier, or en route aboard a carrier to a port of <span class=\"match\">export</span>, on March 15, 2024, pursuant to actual orders for <span class=\"match\">exports</span>, reexports and transfers (in-country) to a foreign destination may proceed to that destination under the previous license exception eligibility or without a license so long as they have been <span class=\"match\">exported</span>, reexported or transferred (in-country)"},{"title":"Additions and Revisions to the Entity List","type":"Rule","abstract":"In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding 32 entities to the Entity List.
