SUMMARY: This interim rule amends the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) by clarifying controls on the export and reexport
of encryption items (EI) controlled for ``EI'' reasons on the
Commerce Control List. This rule incorporates public comments
on an interim rule published in the Federal Register on December
30, 1996, and implements new licensing policies for general
purpose non-recoverable non-voice encryption commodities or
software of any key length for distribution to banks and financial
institutions in specified countries.
