On August 19, 2016, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published in the Federal Register a final rule [Docket No. 160106014–6728–04] that extends the Temporary General License published on March 24, 2016 (81 Fed. Reg. 15633). The March 24 final rule created a temporary general license that restored, for a specified time period, the licensing requirements and policies under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) as of March 7, 2016, to two entities (ZTE Corporation and ZTE Kangxun) that were added to the Entity List on March 8, 2016. At this time, the U.S. Government has decided to extend the temporary general license until November 28, 2016. In order to implement this decision, this final rule revises the temporary general license to remove the expiration date of August 30, 2016, and to substitute the date of November 28, 2016.
