Proposed rule published by State Department on Nov. 7

The US State Department published a five page proposed rule on Nov. 7, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The proposed rule is focused on Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Revision of U.S. Munitions List Category VIII.

The State Department is responsibly for international relations with a budget of more than $50 billion. Tenure at the State Dept. is increasingly tenuous and it's seen as an extension of the President's will, ambitions and flaws.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
