<HD SOURCE="HED">SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:</HD>
On December 6, 2024, the Department of Commerce (Department) published in the
<E T="04">Federal Register</E>
a final rule, “Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain” (89 FR 96872). This final rule revised the regulations at 15 CFR part 791 on the Department's review of transactions involving information and communications technology and services (ICTS) designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a foreign adversary that may pose undue or unacceptable risk to the United States or U.S. persons. The revisions to 15 CFR part 791 inadvertently omitted instructions to update certain regulatory language included in the final rule. This document corrects the omissions inadvertently published in the
<E T="04">Federal Register</E>
on December 6, 2024, specifically the omission of instructions to update certain paragraphs of §§ 791.3 and 791.100. While the related regulatory text was included in the final rule, the final rule unintentionally omitted the instructions to update introductory text for paragraph (a) in § 791.3 and to add paragraph (a)(9) to § 791.100. This document corrects the inadvertent omissions introduced by the December 6, 2024, final rule by instructing the Code of Federal Regulations to update introductory text for paragraph (a) in § 791.3 and to add paragraph (a)(9) to § 791.100.
