Export reform update at Silicon Valley seminar

   The U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security Undersecretary Eric L. Hirschhorn on March 1 will meet with leading Silicon Valley companies to update them on the reform of the country’s export control regulations.
   The two-hour seminar, scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at SAP in Palo Alto, Calif., is sponsored by Women in International Trade – Northern California. The seminar will include a preview of proposed rulings and how companies are impacted by the export reform, in addition to how they can become more involved in helping shape the overall reform process, the association said.
   Also joining Hirschhorn will be David W. Mills, assistant secretary for BIS’s Office of Export Enforcement.
