The Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security will submit a proposal for collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget relating to procedures for parties to request removal from the Entity List or Unverified List, according to a notice published in the Federal Register. Comments are due to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov by March 26.
The Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security is seeking comments on procedures under which parties can request to be removed from Commerce’s Entity List and Unverified List, according to a Dec. 10 notice in the Federal Register.

Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security corrected one entry and removed eight others from the Unverified List after verifying and conducting an end-use check, BIS said in a notice.

The Unverified List includes entities for which the U.S. government failed to complete satisfactory end-use checks, and therefore could not verify the entities' bona fides. Additions to the list are as follows:
