“This rule revises six Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) to clarify that they do not control certain basic parts, components, accessories and attachments because those basic parts, components, accessories and attachments are controlled in a new ECCN created by a rule published on July 1, 2014 to be effective on December 30, 2014. This rule also removes controls on certain monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifiers and discrete microwave transistors and related technology. These controls are no longer necessary because two other rules published after July 1, 2014, provide appropriate controls on those items. This rule also clarifies the application of ‘specially designed’ to controls published on July 1, 2014 that would apply to printed circuit boards, populated circuit card assemblies and multichip modules to reduce the possibility of confusion. Finally, this rule revises three of the amendatory instructions in the final rule published on July 1, to avoid negating changes to the Export Administration Regulations that became effective after that date.”
