(On January 7, 2004, the State Department published a final rule which removed from U.S. Munitions List (USML) jurisdiction quartz rate sensors (QRS) if i) they are determined by the State Department to be integrated into and included as an integral part of a commercial standby instrument system (CSIS) used on civil aircraft or exported solely for integration into such commercial standby instrument systems and ii) the exporter has been informed that these sensors are now subject to DOC licensing jurisdiction. See ITT's Online Archives or 01/22/04 news, 04012235, for BP summary of the State Department's final rule.)
BIS states that as of February 9, 2004, the State Department has determined that QRS11-00100-100/101 Micromachined Angular Rate Sensors integrated into and included as an integral part of a CSIS of the type described in the EAR under Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 7A994 or an aircraft of the type described in ECCN 9A991 that incorporates a CSIS that has such a sensor integrated, or exported solely for integration into such a system meet the requirements of the January 7, 2004 final rule and are subject to the licensing jurisdiction of DOC.
In all other cases, BIS states that the QRS-11 Micromachined Angular Rate Sensors, including the QRS11-00100-100/101 sensors, are subject to the licensing jurisdiction of the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.
