Multipurpose Application

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to reflect changes to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex that were agreed to by MTCR member countries at the October 2006 Plenary in Copenhagen, Denmark. The amendments set forth in this rule also include adding a new Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 7A107 to control three axis magnetic heading sensors designed or modified to be integrated with flight control and navigation systems.

The majority of the changes clarify the scope of several items listed in the Annex by removing the term Amissiles@ and adding the control parameter of being Acapable of a range equal to or greater than 300 km@. . BIS estimates that an additional 18 licenses will be submitted annually as a result of these amendments. This will result in an increased burden of 18 hours annually.
