BIS Seeking Feedback on Export Control Collaboration With Japan
The Bureau of Industry and Security is seeking public comments on priorities for export control cooperation with Japan, the agency said this week. BIS said the comments will help inform work under the Japan-U.S. Commercial and Industrial Partnership's Export Control Working Group, including efforts to ensure the two countries’ dual-use controls are “more transparent, more efficient and effective, and more convergent.” BIS said comments also will help the group identify and control emerging and foundational technologies and better enable collaboration between U.S. and Japanese research organizations.

BIS said it’s specifically looking for feedback to help it develop “ideas and proposals” surrounding new export control initiatives and ways to “facilitate a productive dialogue with Japan.” Comments that provide “specific and concrete examples where further convergence in U.S. and Japanese export control practices and policies could enhance international security and support a global level playing field and joint technology development and innovation, would be particularly helpful,” the agency said. Comments are due Jan. 17.
