Today's regulatory change removes Cuba-specific carve-outs within four existing EAR licenses exceptions, which already were available for Cuba to some degree, for exports or reexports by U.S. persons. Those include: ï‚· License Exception "RPL" (15 C.F.R. § 740.10), removing exclusions that applied to certain onefor-one replacement parts for items previously lawfully exported; ï‚· License Exception "GOV" (15 C.F.R. § 740.11), now authorizing activities relating to nuclear safeguards and chemical weapons inspection, and exports or reexports relating to the International Space Station; ï‚· License Exception "BAG" (15 C.F.R.

§ 740.14), now authorizing exports and reexports of encryption commodities and software carried as personal baggage by individuals travelling to Cuba; and ï‚· License Exception "AVS" (15 C.F.R. § 740.15), expanding the authorization for use and transfer of aircraft involving Cuba or Cuban nationals.
