Commerce Extends Comment Period for Future TGL Extensions

The Commerce Department extended comments on future temporary general license extensions under export administration regulations by about a month to April 22, says Thursday's Federal Register. The feedback will determine “continuing need” and scope for future extensions for the temporary general license for Huawei, the department said Wednesday. Thursday, Reuters reported senior administration officials agreed to new measures to further restrict foreign exports of chips to Huawei. It's unclear if President Donald Trump will OK the change. The White House and Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security didn't comment.
