SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 2, 2024, the Office of 

Federal Register posted for public 

inspection the BIS interim final rule, 

‘‘Foreign-Produced Direct Product Rule 

Additions, and Refinements to Controls 

for Advanced Computing and 

Semiconductor Manufacturing Items,’’ 

which amends the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR). 

These amendments revise controls for 

certain advanced computing items, 

supercomputers, and semiconductor 

manufacturing equipment, which 

includes adding new controls for certain 

semiconductor manufacturing 

equipment and related items, creating 

new Foreign Direct Product (FDP) rules 

for certain commodities to impair the 

capability to produce ‘‘advanced-node 

integrated circuits’’ (‘‘advanced-node 

ICs’’) by certain destinations or entities 

of concern, adding new controls for 

certain high bandwidth memory (HBM) 

important for advanced computing, and 

clarifying controls on certain software 

keys that allow for the use of items such 

as software tools. 

On the same day, the Office of Federal 

Register posted for public inspection the 

BIS final rule, ‘‘Additions and 

Modifications to the Entity List; 

Removals from the Validated End-User 

(VEU) Program,’’ which amends the 

EAR by adding 140 entities to the Entity 

List. These entries are listed on the 

Entity List under the destinations of 

China, People’s Republic of (China), 

Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, and 

have been determined by the U.S. 

Government to be acting contrary to the 

national security and foreign policy 

interests of the United States. 

That final rule also modifies 14 

existing entries on the Entity List, 

consisting of revisions to 14 entries 

under China and is part of this larger 

effort to ensure that appropriate EAR 

controls are in place on these items, 

including in connection with 

transactions destined to or otherwise 

involving the entities being added to the 

Entity List, as well as for existing entries 

on the Entity List that are being 

modified. Additionally, that final rule 

designates nine of these entities being 

added and seven of the entries being 

modified as entities for which entityspecific restrictions apply with respect 

to certain foreign-produced items. The 

final rule also amends the EAR by 

removing three entities from the 

Validated End-User (VEU) Program. 

Public Briefing 

On December 5, 2024, BIS will host a 

public briefing to address the details of 

these two rules. The virtual public 

briefing will be held on December 5, 

2024. The virtual public briefing will 

begin at 3 p.m. EST and conclude at 4 

p.m. EST.
