BIS Extends Suspension of the Affiliates Rule (50 Percent Rule) Until January 10, 2027

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has extended the suspension of its Affiliates Rule until January 10, 2027. The final rule (stay), FR Doc. 2026-22793, is on public inspection now and publishes in the Federal Register on November 9, 2026. The suspension was set to end on November 9, so this pushes it out about two more months.
