Someone wrote to the list in the last day or so (I seem to have mislaid the message) asking what happened to the ITAR's personal use exemption. The introductory comments to the new 12/30/96 regs indicate that: "License Exceptions TMP and BAG effectively replace the Department of State's personal use exemption." (Federal Register, p. 68575) License exception TMP is described at 15 CFR 740.4, and BAG is described at 15 CFR 740.9, both of which are available via John Young's helpful hypertext version of the EARs at <http://jya.com/740.htm>. -- Greg Broiles | US crypto export control policy in a nutshell: gbroiles@netbox.com | http://www.io.com/~gbroiles | Export jobs, not crypto. |
