The proposed rule is here  (downloads a PDF from the Federal Register)

On December 9, 2010, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking entitled Commerce Control List: Revising Descriptions of Items and Foreign Availability as part of the President’s Export Control Reform (ECR) Initiative.  The December 9, 2010 notice sought, among other things, public comments on how descriptions of items controlled on the Commerce Control List (CCL) could be made clearer.  This proposed rule would implement changes identified by BIS and the public that would make the CCL clearer.  This rule would only implement changes that can be made to the CCL without requiring changes to multilateral export control regime guidelines or lists.  However, BIS has identified changes that would require a decision of a multilateral regime to implement.  For those changes, the U.S. Government is developing regime change proposals for consideration by members of those multilateral export control regimes.  BIS will implement those changes in separate rulemakings, if approved by the respective multilateral export control regimes.

Comments must be received by BIS no later than January 28, 2013
