ACTION: Interim final rule.
SUMMARY: In this interim final rule (IFR), the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) makes

and clarifications to existing controls. These changes will better enable a globally competitive
U.S. space industrial base while continuing to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy
interests.
