Explanation:
おそれ省令 is defined here:

http://www.meti.go.jp/policy/anpo/kanri/kankei-horei/kamotu/...

I believe 第２号及び第３号 are the second and third articles shown on this page.

おそれ告示 is:

http://www.meti.go.jp/policy/anpo/kanri/kankei-horei/ekimu/o...

I won't even try to summarize these, I think it's clear from these links. A side note: 経済産業省 is METI (Ministry of Economy, trade and Industry).

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  casey: This is definitely the meaning. Perhaps the English would be something like "export trade management ordinance related to goods that may be used in the development of weapons of mass destruction"...?
1 hr
  -> Thank you.
agree  humbird: This is definitely correct. But your links don't work (is this just me?). Hope this one does. http://www.cistec.or.jp/open/info/lec/index.html. Now it downed on me, right now they are having Obon vacation, resulting in broken link.
3 hrs
  -> Ookini. It's puzzling about links not working. It happens all the time. Googling おそれ省令 is how I got to these links.
agree  AkiHofmann (X): この関係法令集に使用されている｢おそれ｣の意味は「危惧」「懸念｣の意味だと思います。輸出物が核兵器を作る為の利用される可能性を「恐れている」、すなわち「懸念」「危惧｣してこの法令が定められた。従ってapprehensionの解釈は正当であると思います。
21 hrs
  -> ありがとうございます。ただ、このような場合には、apprehensionは使えません。おかしい文になります。caseyさんのlikely to be usedが今のところ一番あっています。これで「恐れ」の意味が含まれるし、fear (絶対に使えないのではないのですが、やはり使わない方が良い) やapprehension（こちらは絶対に避けるべきです）は見られません。

disagree  casey: I don't think so. It's not a provisional ordinance but one that has to do with trading in goods that may be used in weapons.
40 mins
  -> I did not say that is a provisional ordinance. It is just an explaination about おそれ in this case.
disagree  Can Altinbay: Not according to the definitions cited in my references.
