The US government stopped asking exporters to report on technology that no longer exists

The US Commerce Department eliminated an old rule that required companies to report on technology exports. The law that created this rule was repealed years ago, making the reporting requirement obsolete.

This change removes a piece of bureaucratic busywork for companies that export technology. They no longer have to file reports about technology that is no longer relevant or even in use. It is a small step in a broader effort to clean up outdated regulations that create unnecessary costs and confusion.
