This joint resolution seeks to invoke congressional authority to disapprove a specific rule promulgated by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the Department of Commerce. The rule in question is titled " One Year Suspension of Expansion of End-User Controls for Affiliates of Certain Listed Entities ," which was published in the Federal Register. By passing this resolution, Congress intends to prevent the BIS rule from having any force or effect. This action would effectively nullify the temporary suspension, thereby ensuring that the expansion of end-user controls for affiliates of certain listed entities proceeds without interruption or remains in place. The resolution aims to maintain stricter oversight and export restrictions on transactions involving these affiliates.
