<action>Final rule.</action>
<summary>In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by removing controls for certain spacecraft and related items for exports and reexports to Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. These spacecraft and related items involve remote sensing or space-based logistics, assembly, or servicing. Taking into account the close relations with these three allied countries, including in space collaboration, as well as their inclusion in the National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB), this final rule removes the license requirement for these countries for these spacecraft and related items.</summary>
<dates>This rule is effective October 23, 2024.</dates>
