# 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.
