Supplementary Information

On July 29, 2024, the Department of State published a proposed rule proposing revisions to the definition of defense service at 22 CFR 120.32 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR parts 120 through 130) and to the United States Munitions List at 22 CFR 121.1 (89 FR 60980). On the same day, the Department of Commerce published a complementary proposed rule proposing changes to existing restrictions under the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts 730 through 744) on military and intelligence end uses and end users and related controls on certain activities of U.S. persons, as well as the proposed addition of a military-support end-user control (89 FR 60985). In response to requests from the public received by the Department of Commerce, and due to their plan to extend the comment period for their complementary proposed rule for 15 more days, as published via separate notice, the Department of State is similarly extending the comment period for its proposed rule for 15 days.
