Report comments. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

19, 2008, the Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS) published a notice of 

inquiry (73 FR 28795) to elicit 

comments regarding two specific 

recommendations made by the Deemed 

Export Advisory Committee (DEAC) 

with respect to the Bureau of Industry 

and Security’s (BIS’s) deemed export 

licensing policy. BIS is continuing to 

seek comments on whether the scope of 

technologies on the Commerce Control 

List that are subject to deemed export 

licensing requirements should be 

narrowed, and if so, which technologies 

should be subject to deemed export 

licensing requirements. Additionally, 

BIS is continuing to seek comments on 

whether a more comprehensive set of 

criteria should be used to assess country 

affiliation for foreign nationals with 

respect to deemed exports. 

The original deadline for comments 

was August 18, 2008. BIS is now 

reopening the comment period to allow 

the public more time to comment on 

this notice of inquiry. The new 

comment period will end September 22, 

2008.
