On 13 February, an article from Baker McKenzie said that on 12 January, the Department of Commerce issued a final rule amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement recent licensing review policy changes for exports of US-origin UAS (aka drones). Certain UAS covered by Category I of the Missile technology Control regime (which were subject to a strong presumption of denial) would be treated as though such UAS were covered by MTCR Category II (which are subject to a more flexible case-by-case review policy for export licensing purposes). The licensing review policy changes implemented by the Final Rule are motivated by the rapid evolution of UAS technology in recent years.
I would be grateful for any modest contribution for my time and ongoing costs of computer, relocation, and (still ongoing) removal costs, I have a page, where contributions start as low as $3, at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/KoIvM842y
