BIS Could Control Remote Access to Chips Without Traditional Rulemaking, Lawyer Says

The Bureau of Industry and Security could begin controlling remote access to advanced chips without issuing a set of new export regulations, and it may do so even as related legislation in Congress remains stalled, panelists said during a recent American Bar Association event. . . . BIS more than a decade ago issued advisory opinions that said cloud services and remote access aren’t subject to the Export Administration Regulations (see 2402020050), but Wardlaw said BIS could revoke those advisory opinions.
