through 130). Specifically, the publication proposed to amend the ITAR 
to revise U.S. Munitions List (USML) Categories IV and XV and related 
sections of the ITAR to clarify and standardize the regulatory text, 
add items that warrant designation on the USML, and remove those items 
that no longer warrant designation on the USML. The publication further 
proposed to add three new license exemptions to the ITAR and requested 
public comment by November 22, 2024. In response to requests received 
from the public to extend the comment period, the Department of State 
is extending the comment period for the proposed rule for an additional 
30 days, through December 23, 2024.

Acting Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs,
