July 27, 2010 / Ruta Riley
On July 27, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a final rule in the Federal Register to clarify the intent of the encryption registration requirement that appeared in the new encryption rules published on June 25, 2010.

In § 740.17(d)(1)(i)(A) and (d)(1)(i)(B), the rule specified that an encryption registration was required to be filed the first time that a party submits an encryption classification request under § 740.17(b)(2) and (b)(3) or performs an encryption self-classification under § 740.17(b)(1) on or after August 24, 2010. The rule also stated that an encryption registration was required to be submitted in support of an encryption classification or in circumstances where a party is making a mass market encryption item eligible for export and reexport (including the definition at § 734.2(b)(9) for encryption software) under § 742.15(b)(1) for the first time on or after August 24, 2010. Although the rule was issued in final form on June 25, the rule intended to establish a grace period permitting parties to wait until August 24 to submit their registration requirements.
