Clarification of Reporting Requirements Under the Wassenaar Arrangement

On January 15, 1998, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) published an interim rule implementing the Wassenaar Arrangement list of dual-use items and reporting requirements under the Wassenaar Arrangement. On February 17, 1998, BXA published an interim final rule that conformed the savings clause date for shipments of items removed from eligibility for export or reexport under a particular License Exception authorization or the designator NLR until April 15, 1998. The February 17 rule did not affect the reporting requirement provisions and any item removed from License Exception or NLR eligibility as a result of the January 15 rule continues to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Wassenaar Arrangement. This interim rule provides further clarification on the savings clause provisions and the reporting requirements under the Wassenaar Arrangement. Specifically, this rule clarifies: the reporting requirement obligations of items described on the Wassenaar Arrangements Annex 1 (Sensitive List) and Annex 2 (Very Sensitive List) of the List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies, including clarification on the timing of the first report in accordance with the savings clause
