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.

    Dated: August 18, 2008.

Director, Office of Exporter Services.
