Regulatory Flexibility Act

FRTIB certifies that this regulation

will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.). This rule

does not impose a requirement for small

businesses to report or keep records on

any of the requirements contained in

this rule. The exemptions to the Privacy

Act apply to individuals, and

individuals are not covered entities

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

require additional reporting under the

criteria of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

653, 1501 1571, the effects of this

regulation on state, local, and tribal

governments and the private sector have

been assessed. This regulation will not

compel the expenditure in any one year

of $100 million or more by state, local,

and tribal governments, in the aggregate,

or by the private sector. Therefore, a

statement under section 1532 is not

required.

[Docket No. 211013–0209]

RIN 0694–AH56

Information Security Controls:

Cybersecurity Items

AGENCY

: Bureau of Industry and

Security, Commerce.

ACTION

: Interim final rule, with request

for comments.

SUMMARY

: This interim final rule

outlines the progress the United States

has made in export controls pertaining

to cybersecurity items, revised

Commerce Control List (CCL)

implementation, and requests from the

public information about the impact of

these revised controls on U.S. industry

and the cybersecurity community.

Specifically, this rule establishes a new

control on these items for National

Security (NS) and Anti-terrorism (AT)

reasons, along with a new License

Exception Authorized Cybersecurity

Exports (ACE) that authorizes exports of

these items to most destinations except

in the circumstances described. These

items warrant controls because these

tools could be used for surveillance,

espionage, or other actions that disrupt,

deny or degrade the network or devices

on it.
