<action>Interim final rule.</action>
<summary>In this interim final rule (IFR), the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) makes changes to controls for spacecraft and related items under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). This IFR reduces license requirements on less sensitive items to reflect the close relations with certain countries to better facilitate space collaboration; and makes refinements and clarifications to existing controls. These changes will better enable a globally competitive U.S. space industrial base while continuing to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.</summary>
<dates>This rule is effective October 23, 2024. Comments must be received by BIS no later than November 22, 2024.</dates>
