Expansion of Nuclear Nonproliferation Controls on the People's 
Republic of China and Macau; Correction

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is correcting a 
final rule, Expansion of Nuclear Nonproliferation Controls on the 
People's Republic of China and Macau, that appeared in the Federal 
Register on August 14, 2023. That rule intended to amend the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding additional nuclear 
nonproliferation controls on China and Macau. There was an inadvertent 
error in one of the regulatory instructions for that rule; this final 
rule corrects that inadvertent error.

DATES: Effective August 17, 2023, and applicable beginning August 11, 
2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Logan Norton, Regulatory Policy 
Division, [email protected], (202) 482-2440.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the erratum, published 
in the Federal Register of Monday, August 14, 2023 (88 FR 54875). This 
is the first set of corrections.
    The regulatory text of 88 FR 54875 became enforceable as of August 
11, 2023.
