SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EA Regulations are issued by the United 
States Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry & Security (BIS) 
under laws relating to the control of certain exports, re-exports, and 
related activities. The EA Regulations serve the national security, 
foreign policy, and nonproliferation interests of the United States. 
They assist the United States in carrying carry out certain 
international obligations. They restrict access to dual use items by 
countries or persons that might apply such items to uses inimical to 
U.S. interests. They protect the United States from the adverse impact 
of the unrestricted export of commodities in short supply. In addition, 
they contain provisions designed to ensure that United States persons 
are not improperly supporting an unsanctioned foreign boycott or 
restrictive trade practice. The EA Regulations offer authoritative 
guidance on all of these matters as well as assisting businesses in 
determining when an export license is necessary; explaining how to 
obtain one; clarifying the policies that are followed in considering 
license applications; and explaining how exporters can learn about the 
latest changes and requirements.
