State Hands Over Some USML Spacecraft Controls to Commerce

The State Department issued a correction to a final rule that transfers goods from U.S. Munitions List Category XV (Spacecraft Systems and Associated Equipment) to the Commerce Control List (here). The final rule makes clarifications and minor changes to the initial final rule, released in May, and the transfers are effective on Nov. 10 (see 14051224). This final rules also edges the Obama administration further towards completing the transfer of goods on all 21 USML categories (see 1411040012).
