They are being imposed because the department believes it needs to do more prevent exported firearms from being diverted for malign purposes and harming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/executive\/national-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. national security<\/a>, the official said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/gop-senator-introduces-bill-protect-us-gun-exporters-biden-admins-license-pause\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>GOP SENATOR INTRODUCES BILL TO PROTECT US GUN EXPORTERS FROM BIDEN ADMIN&#8217;S LICENSE PAUSE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Commerce Department expects the restrictions to result in about a 7% reduction, or $40 million, out of the $600 million in average annual U.S. firearm exports, the official said.<\/p>\n<p>The new interim final rule will impose restrictions on exports to non-governmental users in 36 countries where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/foreign-policy\/state-department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the State Department<\/a> has determined they are at high risk of diversions or misuse.<\/p>\n<p>The department will revoke some export licenses and will cut some from four years to one-year licenses, the official said.<\/p>\n<p>The 36 countries include some former Soviet Republics, the official added, saying it is &#8220;increasing scrutiny on a transaction by transaction level to ensure that firearms aren&#8217;t exported to destinations of concern.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg News reported the plan earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The Oct. 27 pause on export licenses for firearms and ammunition sales to non-governmental users had some exemptions, including export licenses for Ukraine and Israel, and some other close allies.<\/p>\n<p>In November, 46 Republican senators said they had &#8220;significant concerns&#8221; about the pause, saying it &#8220;puts at stake U.S. commercial and economic interests&#8221; as well as U.S. national security and foreign policy.
