The Bureau of Industry and Security has issued an interim final rule imposing foreign policy controls (i.e., license requirements) on exports of certain integrated circuits, helicopter landing system radars, seismic detection systems, and technology for infrared up-conversion devices.
- Read-out integrated circuits (classified under new ECCN 6A990) and related software (added to existing ECCN 6D991) and technology (new ECCN 6E990) to all destinations except Canada are controlled for regional stability column 1 reasons and anti-terrorism column 1 reasons. These goods are used only in cameras to provide images for collision avoidance and navigation support for civilian vehicles at distances up to 150 meters and have potential military application because of the infrared detectors, which can be used to enable military personnel to detect images in the dark. License exception LVS is not available.
