Abstract: This rule will amend the Export Administration Regulations by
imposing enhanced national security and foreign policy controls on
certain recoverable encryption to supplement the national security
controls on those items. This rule will also amend the EAR to exclude
recoverable encryption software from the de minimis provisions for
exports from abroad of foreign-origin software incorporating U.S.-
origin software. In addition, this rule amends the Commerce Control
List by adding ECCNs to control recoverable encryption software
transferred from the U.S. Munitions List.
