The Bureau of Industry and Security has extended the suspension of an interim rule that would effectively extend the same restrictions to affiliates of U.S. Department of Commerce-listed entities.
The “affiliates rule” requires any entity that is at least 50% owned by one or more entities on the BIS Entity List or the Military End User List to be subject to the same restrictions.
The interim rule was adopted in September 2025, but BIS suspended implementation for roughly one year, until Nov. 9, 2026. BIS extended the suspension until Jan. 10, 2027, according to a notice in the Federal Register.
