SUMMARY: On July 18, 2024, the Bureau of Industry and Security 
published an interim final rule that revised the Export Administration 
Regulations (EAR). That rule inadvertently revised language related to 
recent changes to the Entity List. This document corrects the 
inadvertent revisions introduced in the July 18, 2024, rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 18, 2024, BIS published in the 
Federal Register the interim final rule (IFR), ``Standards-Related 
Activities and the Export Administration Regulations'' (89 FR 58265) 
that revised parts 734, 744 and 772 of the EAR. The revisions in the 
July 18, 2024, rule inadvertently reverted changes to part 744 that 
were amended in a final rule that BIS published on June 18, 2024 (89 FR 
51644). This document corrects the inadvertent revisions introduced in 
the Federal Register on July 18, 2024, specifically to Sec. Sec.  
744.11, 744.16, and supplement no. 4 to part 744, to reintroduce 
language that was added in the June 18, 2024, rule that reflected the 
addition of paragraph (f) under Sec.  744.16.

List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 744
