The Bureau of Industry and Security released a beta version of its new website in December, making changes to functionality and user experience.
The sleek new site, accessible from the old website, is more visually appealing and features more user-friendly navigation.
The News & Updates feature on the new site offers many filters to target searches of the Bureau's news archives.
However, some information was not available on the beta site—notably, the E-FOIA option was missing. (The old E-FOIA function on the old version of the website was also no longer operational.)
In streamlining its visual display, the new site seems to lack much of its predecessor's information on regulations and policy guidance. Much of the data hosted on the old site is gone, too.
The beta version of the new site includes the following legal disclaimer:
"This is a beta site. It's an early, in-progress version that incorporates new tools to access and use BIS regulations. Results from this beta site may be inaccurate or incomplete and should not be relied upon for compliance with the EAR. Please continue to utilize the existing BIS siteor the eCFR for accessing the regulations."
