ACTION: Final rule. mstockstill on PROD1PC62 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: In accordance with recent United Nations (UN) Security Council resolutions and the foreign policy interests of the United States, the United States Government is imposing restrictions on exports and reexports of luxury goods to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), and is continuing to restrict exports and reexports of nuclear or missile-related items and other items included on the Commerce Control List (CCL). To this end, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to impose license requirements for the export and reexport of virtually all items subject to the EAR to North Korea, except food and medicines not listed on the CCL. BIS will generally deny applications to export and reexport luxury goods, e.g., luxury automobiles; yachts; gems; jewelry; other fashion accessories; cosmetics; perfumes; furs; designer clothing; luxury watches; rugs and tapestries; electronic entertainment software and equipment; recreational sports equipment; tobacco; wine and other alcoholic beverages; musical instruments; art; and antiques and collectible items including but not limited to rare coins and stamps. BIS will continue to generally deny applications to export and reexport arms and related materiel controlled on the CCL and items controlled under the multilateral export control regimes (the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Australia Group, and the Wassenaar Arrangement). This includes items specified in UN documents S/2006/814, S/2006/815 and S/2006/853. BIS will also generally deny applications to export and reexport other items that the UN determines could contribute to North Korea’s nuclear-related, ballistic missile-related, or other weapons of mass destruction-related programs. BIS will also generally approve applications to export or reexport: non- VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:24 Jan 25, 2007 Jkt 211001 food, non-medical humanitarian items (e.g., blankets, basic footwear, heating oil, and other items meeting subsistence needs) intended for the benefit of the North Korean people; items in support of United Nations humanitarian efforts; and agricultural commodities and medical devices that are determined not to be luxury goods. BIS will review on a case-by-case basis applications to export and reexport all other items subject to the EAR. DATES: This rule is effective January 26, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 4, 2006, in defiance of international calls for restraint, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) proceeded with the launch and testing of a series of ballistic missiles. On July 15, 2006, the United Nations (UN) Security Council adopted Resolution 1695 (UNSCR 1695), condemning North Korea for its actions. In UNSCR 1695, the Security Council demanded that North Korea suspend all ballistic missile-related activity and reinstate its moratorium on missile launches. Subsequently, the President signed the North Korea Nonproliferation Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–353), which affirmed Congress’ statement that it should be the policy of the United States to impose sanctions on persons who supported North Korea’s missile or weapons of mass destruction programs. On October 9, 2006, despite the adoption of UNSCR 1695, and in flagrant disregard of the admonitions of the international community, North Korea conducted a nuclear test. On October 14, 2006, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1718 PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 (UNSCR 1718), which condemned the nuclear test and expressed the gravest concern over the challenge such a test constitutes to the Treaty on the NonProliferation of Nuclear Weapons, to peace and stability in the region, and to international efforts to strengthen the global nonproliferation regime. Among other things, UNSCR 1718 decides that all UN Member States shall prevent the direct or indirect supply, sale, or transfer to North Korea of: (1) Certain arms and related materiel; (2) items set out in the lists in UN documents S/ 2006/814, S/2006/815, and S/2006/853 (available at https://www.un.org/Docs/sc/ committees/1718/1718SelEng.htm), as well as other items identified by the Security Council or the Sanctions Committee established by UNSCR 1718 that could contribute to North Korea’s nuclear-related, ballistic missile-related, and other weapons of mass destructionrelated programs; and (3) luxury goods. UNSCR 1718 also decides that Member States shall prevent transfers to North Korea of technical training, advice, services, or assistance related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of the items specified above. Furthermore, UNSCR 1718 demands that North Korea, in a verifiable and irreversible manner, abandon nuclear weapons, existing nuclear programs, and all other existing weapons of mass destruction programs. The Resolution also decides that North Korea must suspend all ballistic missile activities, demands that North Korea return to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and requires that North Korea act in accordance with the terms and conditions of its International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Safeguards Agreement. On December 7, 2006, in accordance with Section 102(b) of the Arms Export Control Act, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2799aa–1), the President determined that North Korea had detonated a nuclear explosive device. The President directed the relevant agencies and instrumentalities of the United States to take the necessary actions to impose the sanctions described in Section 102(b)(2) of that Act. See 72 FR 1899 (Jan. 16, 2007). Section 102(b)(2)(G) of that Act provides that dual-use export control authorities shall be used to prohibit exports of specific goods and technology to any country so identified by the President. Changes to Licensing Requirements and Policy As a result of North Korea’s test launch of ballistic missiles in July, 2006, and testing of a nuclear device in October, 2006, and consistent with E:\FR\FM\26JAR1.SGM 26JAR1 mstockstill on PROD1PC62 with RULES Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 17 / Friday, January 26, 2007 / Rules and Regulations UNSCR 1718, the United States is imposing new export and reexport controls on North Korea. Under this final rule, in accordance with UNSCR 1718 and the foreign policy interests of the United States, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) will require a license for the export and reexport to North Korea of all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), except food and medicines that are not on the Commerce Control List (CCL). Although a license is already required to export and reexport to North Korea all items controlled on the CCL for Nuclear Nonproliferation (NP) and Missile Technology (MT) reasons, BIS also will require a license for these items (except for items classified under Export Commodity Classification Number (ECCN) 7A103) in accordance with the President’s December 7, 2006 directive regarding implementation of Section 102(b) of the Arms Export Control Act. Pursuant to new Section 746.4(c) of the EAR, BIS will review license applications for the export or reexport of luxury goods to North Korea under a general policy of denial. This policy of denial applies to, but is not limited to applications to export and reexport luxury goods including, for example: Luxury automobiles; yachts; gems; jewelry; other fashion accessories; cosmetics; perfumes; furs; designer clothing; luxury watches; rugs and tapestries; electronic entertainment software and equipment; recreational sports equipment; tobacco; wine and other alcoholic beverages; musical instruments; art; and antiques and collectible items, including but not limited to rare coins and stamps. These and similar items have been imported by North Korea for the use and benefit of government officials and their families, rather than for the good of the North Korean people. In new Supplement No. 1 to part 746 of the EAR, BIS will provide further detail regarding the illustrative list of luxury goods set forth in Section 746.4(c). The determination of whether an item is a luxury good will be made on a case-bycase basis. In some cases, the end-use or end-user will be relevant to this determination. For example, an item being exported to a humanitarian organization for purposes of providing humanitarian assistance to the people of North Korea may not be considered a luxury good, but the same item going to a different end-user might be considered a luxury good and might not be approved. Computer laptops and luxury automobiles will be exempted from the general policy of denial if they are being exported or reexported to organizations VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:24 Jan 25, 2007 Jkt 211001 legitimately involved in humanitarian relief efforts, other internationally sanctioned efforts, or in the interest of the U.S. Government. BIS will review under a general policy of approval license applications for the export or reexport of humanitarian items other than food or medicine (e.g., blankets, medical supplies, heating oil, and other items meeting subsistence needs) intended for the benefit of the North Korean people. This policy applies to license applications to export or reexport items in support of UN humanitarian efforts and programs. The general policy of approval also extends to agricultural commodities (as defined in Section 102 of the Agricultural Trade Act of 1978) and medical devices (as defined in Section 201 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) that are determined by BIS, in consultation with the interagency license review community, not to be luxury goods. Applications for all other exports and reexports of EAR99 items will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Consistent with UNSCR 1718 and existing U.S. export control policy, BIS will review license applications for arms and related materiel controlled on the CCL and items controlled on the multilateral export control regime control lists (the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Australia Group, and the Wassenaar Arrangement) under a general policy of denial. This includes items specified in UN documents S/ 2006/814, S/2006/815 and S/2006/853. BIS will also generally deny applications to export and reexports other items that the UN Security Council or the Sanctions Committee has determined could contribute to North Korea’s nuclear-related, ballistic missile-related or other weapons of mass destruction-related programs. In addition, applications to export or reexport items controlled on the CCL for NP and MT reasons (except ECCN 7A103 items) will be reviewed under a general policy of denial. Applications to export or reexport other items on the CCL will be reviewed in accordance with the licensing policy set forth in Section 742.19 of the EAR (Antiterrorism: North Korea). Section 742.19 is being amended to make technical corrections and also to provide that applications to export or reexport parts and components for safety-of-flight will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. License Exceptions This final rule makes inapplicable for North Korea most license exceptions set forth in part 740 of the EAR. The only license exceptions that remain available PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 3723 for North Korea, as provided in new Section 746.4(b) are: TMP (15 CFR 740.9(a)(2)(viii) only) for items for use by the news media; GOV (15 CFR 740.11(a), (b)(2)(i), and (b)(2)(ii) only) for items for personal or official use by personnel and agencies of the U.S. Government, the IAEA, or the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom); GFT (15 CFR 740.12) for the export or reexport of gift parcels not containing luxury goods by an individual to an individual or a religious, charitable or educational organization, and for the export or reexport by groups or organizations of certain donations to meet basic human needs; TSU (15 CFR 740.13(a) and (b) only) for operation technology and software for lawfully exported items and sales technology; BAG (15 CFR 740.14 (a) through (d) only) for exports of items by individuals leaving the United States as personal baggage; and AVS (15 CFR 740.15(a)(4) only) for civil passenger aircraft on temporary sojourn. Other Conforming Changes Finally, to conform with the abovedescribed changes and to make minor technical corrections, this rule makes limited revisions to Sections 732.1 and 732.3 (Steps for Using the EAR); Supplement No. 1 to Part 738 (the Country Chart); Sections 740.2 and 740.10 (License Exceptions); Sections 742.1 and 742.19 (Control Policy—CCL Based Controls); Section 746.1 (Embargoes and Other Special Controls); Section 772.1 (Definitions of Terms as used in the EAR); and Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 (Commerce Control List) of the EAR. Expansion of Foreign Policy-Based Export Controls This rule imposes new export controls for foreign policy reasons. As required by Section 6 of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (the Act), a report on the imposition of these controls was delivered to Congress on January 16, 2007. Although the Act expired on August 20, 2001, Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 3, 2006, 71 FR 44551 (Aug. 7, 2006), has continued the Export Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Savings Clause Items that did not require a license prior to the publication of this rule for export or reexport to North Korea and that are on dock for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier or en route aboard a carrier to a port of export E:\FR\FM\26JAR1.SGM 26JAR1 3724 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 17 / Friday, January 26, 2007 / Rules and Regulations on January 26, 2007, may be exported or reexported without being subject to this rule if the items are exported or reexported before midnight as of February 9, 2007. Any such item not actually exported or reexported before midnight February 9, 2007, may be exported or reexported only if authorized pursuant to this final rule. Exporters holding valid licenses for export or reexport to North Korea prior to January 26, 2007 are authorized to continue shipments pursuant to the terms and conditions of their licenses. mstockstill on PROD1PC62 with RULES Rulemaking Requirements 1. This final rule has been determined to be significant for purposes of E.O. 12866. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule contains a collection of information subject to the requirements of the PRA. This collection has previously been approved by OMB under Control Number 0694–0088 (Multi-Purpose Application), which carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS–748. This rule is not expected to result in any change for collection purposes. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to David Rostker, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and to the Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, as indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this rule. 3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as this term is defined under Executive Order 13132. 4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:24 Jan 25, 2007 Jkt 211001 participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs function of the United States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. 553 or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be submitted to publiccomments@bis.doc.gov, by fax to (202) 482–3355, or to Jeffery Lynch, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, P.O.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background CBP collects fees to pay for the costs incurred in providing customs services in connection with certain activities under the authority of section 13031 of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), as amended, codified at section 19 U.S.C. 58c. On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108–357). Section 892 of the American Jobs Creation Act amended 19 U.S.C. 58c to renew the fees provided under COBRA, which would have otherwise expired March 1, 2005, and to allow the Secretary of the Treasury to increase such fees by an amount not to exceed 10 percent in the period beginning fiscal year 2006 through the period for which fees are authorized by law. Regulations concerning user fees, among other customs revenue functions, are promulgated under the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to Treasury Department Order No. 100–16. (See Appendix to 19 CFR Part 0). On April 24, 2006, CBP published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register (71 FR 20922) proposing to amend the regulations in accordance with the current statutory provisions by increasing the fees for: (1) Customs services provided in connection with the arrival of certain commercial vessels, commercial trucks, railroad cars, private aircraft and private vessels, passengers aboard commercial aircraft and commercial vessels, and barges or other bulk carrier arrivals, (2) each item of dutiable mail for which a customs officer prepares documentation, and (3) annual customs brokers permits. The comment period ended on May 24, 2006. Discussion of Comments A total of six commenters responded to the solicitation of comments on the notice of proposed rulemaking. These comments were received from the recreational boating associations, industry and travel agent products services, carrier/vessel concerns, air transport associations, and other members of the general traveling and importing public. The comments are discussed below. Comment: One commenter supported the proposed fee increases as appropriate to reflect the costs incurred by the agency for services provided. The commenter also suggested raising the annual maximum fees and each of the E:\FR\FM\26JAR1.SGM 26JAR1

North Korea: Imposition of New Foreign Policy Controls

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with recent United Nations (UN) Security Council 
resolutions and the foreign policy interests of the United States, the 
United States Government is imposing restrictions on exports and 
reexports of luxury goods to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea 
(North Korea), and is continuing to restrict exports and reexports of 
nuclear or missile-related items and other items included on the 
Commerce Control List (CCL). To this end, the Bureau of Industry and 
Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) 
to impose license requirements for the export and reexport of virtually 
all items subject to the EAR to North Korea, except food and medicines 
not listed on the CCL.
    BIS will generally deny applications to export and reexport luxury 
goods, e.g., luxury automobiles; yachts; gems; jewelry; other fashion 
accessories; cosmetics; perfumes; furs; designer clothing; luxury 
watches; rugs and tapestries; electronic entertainment software and 
equipment; recreational sports equipment; tobacco; wine and other 
alcoholic beverages; musical instruments; art; and antiques and 
collectible items including but not limited to rare coins and stamps.
    BIS will continue to generally deny applications to export and 
reexport arms and related materiel controlled on the CCL and items 
controlled under the multilateral export control regimes (the Missile 
Technology Control Regime, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Australia 
Group, and the Wassenaar Arrangement). This includes items specified in 
UN documents S/2006/814, S/2006/815 and S/2006/853. BIS will also 
generally deny applications to export and reexport other items that the 
UN determines could contribute to North Korea's nuclear-related, 
ballistic missile-related, or other weapons of mass destruction-related 
programs.
    BIS will also generally approve applications to export or reexport: 
non-food, non-medical humanitarian items (e.g., blankets, basic 
footwear, heating oil, and other items meeting subsistence needs) 
intended for the benefit of the North Korean people; items in support 
of United Nations humanitarian efforts; and agricultural commodities 
and medical devices that are determined not to be luxury goods.
    BIS will review on a case-by-case basis applications to export and 
reexport all other items subject to the EAR.

DATES: This rule is effective January 26, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Although this is a final rule, BIS welcomes comments, which 
should be sent by fax to (202) 482-3355, e-mail to 
publiccomments@bis.doc.gov, or by mail to Jeffery Lynch, Regulatory 
Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 4, 2006, in defiance of international calls for restraint, 
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) proceeded with 
the launch and testing of a series of ballistic missiles. On July 15, 
2006, the United Nations (UN) Security Council adopted Resolution 1695 
(UNSCR 1695), condemning North Korea for its actions. In UNSCR 1695, 
the Security Council demanded that North Korea suspend all ballistic 
missile-related activity and reinstate its moratorium on missile 
launches. Subsequently, the President signed the North Korea 
Nonproliferation Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-353), which affirmed 
Congress' statement that it should be the policy of the United States 
to impose sanctions on persons who supported North Korea's missile or 
weapons of mass destruction programs.
    On October 9, 2006, despite the adoption of UNSCR 1695, and in 
flagrant disregard of the admonitions of the international community, 
North Korea conducted a nuclear test. On October 14, 2006, the UN 
Security Council adopted Resolution 1718 (UNSCR 1718), which condemned 
the nuclear test and expressed the gravest concern over the challenge 
such a test constitutes to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
Nuclear Weapons, to peace and stability in the region, and to 
international efforts to strengthen the global nonproliferation regime. 
Among other things, UNSCR 1718 decides that all UN Member States shall 
prevent the direct or indirect supply, sale, or transfer to North Korea 
of: (1) Certain arms and related materiel; (2) items set out in the 
lists in UN documents S/2006/814, S/2006/815, and S/2006/853 (available 
at https://www.un.org/Docs/sc/committees/1718/1718SelEng.htm), as well 
as other items identified by the Security Council or the Sanctions 
Committee established by UNSCR 1718 that could contribute to North 
Korea's nuclear-related, ballistic missile-related, and other weapons 
of mass destruction-related programs; and (3) luxury goods. UNSCR 1718 
also decides that Member States shall prevent transfers to North Korea 
of technical training, advice, services, or assistance related to the 
provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of the items specified 
above. Furthermore, UNSCR 1718 demands that North Korea, in a 
verifiable and irreversible manner, abandon nuclear weapons, existing 
nuclear programs, and all other existing weapons of mass destruction 
programs. The Resolution also decides that North Korea must suspend all 
ballistic missile activities, demands that North Korea return to the 
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and requires that 
North Korea act in accordance with the terms and conditions of its 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Safeguards Agreement.
    On December 7, 2006, in accordance with Section 102(b) of the Arms 
Export Control Act, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2799aa-1), the President 
determined that North Korea had detonated a nuclear explosive device. 
The President directed the relevant agencies and instrumentalities of 
the United States to take the necessary actions to impose the sanctions 
described in Section 102(b)(2) of that Act. See 72 FR 1899 (Jan. 16, 
2007). Section 102(b)(2)(G) of that Act provides that dual-use export 
control authorities shall be used to prohibit exports of specific goods 
and technology to any country so identified by the President.

Changes to Licensing Requirements and Policy

    As a result of North Korea's test launch of ballistic missiles in 
July, 2006, and testing of a nuclear device in October, 2006, and 
consistent with

[[Page 3723]]

UNSCR 1718, the United States is imposing new export and reexport 
controls on North Korea.
    Under this final rule, in accordance with UNSCR 1718 and the 
foreign policy interests of the United States, the Bureau of Industry 
and Security (BIS) will require a license for the export and reexport 
to North Korea of all items subject to the Export Administration 
Regulations (EAR), except food and medicines that are not on the 
Commerce Control List (CCL). Although a license is already required to 
export and reexport to North Korea all items controlled on the CCL for 
Nuclear Nonproliferation (NP) and Missile Technology (MT) reasons, BIS 
also will require a license for these items (except for items 
classified under Export Commodity Classification Number (ECCN) 7A103) 
in accordance with the President's December 7, 2006 directive regarding 
implementation of Section 102(b) of the Arms Export Control Act.
    Pursuant to new Section 746.4(c) of the EAR, BIS will review 
license applications for the export or reexport of luxury goods to 
North Korea under a general policy of denial. This policy of denial 
applies to, but is not limited to applications to export and reexport 
luxury goods including, for example: Luxury automobiles; yachts; gems; 
jewelry; other fashion accessories; cosmetics; perfumes; furs; designer 
clothing; luxury watches; rugs and tapestries; electronic entertainment 
software and equipment; recreational sports equipment; tobacco; wine 
and other alcoholic beverages; musical instruments; art; and antiques 
and collectible items, including but not limited to rare coins and 
stamps. These and similar items have been imported by North Korea for 
the use and benefit of government officials and their families, rather 
than for the good of the North Korean people. In new Supplement No. 1 
to part 746 of the EAR, BIS will provide further detail regarding the 
illustrative list of luxury goods set forth in Section 746.4(c). The 
determination of whether an item is a luxury good will be made on a 
case-by-case basis. In some cases, the end-use or end-user will be 
relevant to this determination. For example, an item being exported to 
a humanitarian organization for purposes of providing humanitarian 
assistance to the people of North Korea may not be considered a luxury 
good, but the same item going to a different end-user might be 
considered a luxury good and might not be approved. Computer laptops 
and luxury automobiles will be exempted from the general policy of 
denial if they are being exported or reexported to organizations 
legitimately involved in humanitarian relief efforts, other 
internationally sanctioned efforts, or in the interest of the U.S. 
Government.
    BIS will review under a general policy of approval license 
applications for the export or reexport of humanitarian items other 
than food or medicine (e.g., blankets, medical supplies, heating oil, 
and other items meeting subsistence needs) intended for the benefit of 
the North Korean people. This policy applies to license applications to 
export or reexport items in support of UN humanitarian efforts and 
programs. The general policy of approval also extends to agricultural 
commodities (as defined in Section 102 of the Agricultural Trade Act of 
1978) and medical devices (as defined in Section 201 of the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) that are determined by BIS, in 
consultation with the interagency license review community, not to be 
luxury goods. Applications for all other exports and reexports of EAR99 
items will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
    Consistent with UNSCR 1718 and existing U.S. export control policy, 
BIS will review license applications for arms and related materiel 
controlled on the CCL and items controlled on the multilateral export 
control regime control lists (the Missile Technology Control Regime, 
the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Australia Group, and the Wassenaar 
Arrangement) under a general policy of denial. This includes items 
specified in UN documents S/2006/814, S/2006/815 and S/2006/853. BIS 
will also generally deny applications to export and reexports other 
items that the UN Security Council or the Sanctions Committee has 
determined could contribute to North Korea's nuclear-related, ballistic 
missile-related or other weapons of mass destruction-related programs. 
In addition, applications to export or reexport items controlled on the 
CCL for NP and MT reasons (except ECCN 7A103 items) will be reviewed 
under a general policy of denial. Applications to export or reexport 
other items on the CCL will be reviewed in accordance with the 
licensing policy set forth in Section 742.19 of the EAR (Anti-
terrorism: North Korea). Section 742.19 is being amended to make 
technical corrections and also to provide that applications to export 
or reexport parts and components for safety-of-flight will be reviewed 
on a case-by-case basis.

License Exceptions

    This final rule makes inapplicable for North Korea most license 
exceptions set forth in part 740 of the EAR. The only license 
exceptions that remain available for North Korea, as provided in new 
Section 746.4(b) are: TMP (15 CFR 740.9(a)(2)(viii) only) for items for 
use by the news media; GOV (15 CFR 740.11(a), (b)(2)(i), and (b)(2)(ii) 
only) for items for personal or official use by personnel and agencies 
of the U.S. Government, the IAEA, or the European Atomic Energy 
Community (Euratom); GFT (15 CFR 740.12) for the export or reexport of 
gift parcels not containing luxury goods by an individual to an 
individual or a religious, charitable or educational organization, and 
for the export or reexport by groups or organizations of certain 
donations to meet basic human needs; TSU (15 CFR 740.13(a) and (b) 
only) for operation technology and software for lawfully exported items 
and sales technology; BAG (15 CFR 740.14 (a) through (d) only) for 
exports of items by individuals leaving the United States as personal 
baggage; and AVS (15 CFR 740.15(a)(4) only) for civil passenger 
aircraft on temporary sojourn.

Other Conforming Changes

    Finally, to conform with the above-described changes and to make 
minor technical corrections, this rule makes limited revisions to 
Sections 732.1 and 732.3 (Steps for Using the EAR); Supplement No. 1 to 
Part 738 (the Country Chart); Sections 740.2 and 740.10 (License 
Exceptions); Sections 742.1 and 742.19 (Control Policy--CCL Based 
Controls); Section 746.1 (Embargoes and Other Special Controls); 
Section 772.1 (Definitions of Terms as used in the EAR); and Supplement 
No. 1 to Part 774 (Commerce Control List) of the EAR.

Expansion of Foreign Policy-Based Export Controls

    This rule imposes new export controls for foreign policy reasons. 
As required by Section 6 of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as 
amended (the Act), a report on the imposition of these controls was 
delivered to Congress on January 16, 2007. Although the Act expired on 
August 20, 2001, Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001 
Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 3, 2006, 71 
FR 44551 (Aug. 7, 2006), has continued the Export Administration 
Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers 
Act.

Savings Clause

    Items that did not require a license prior to the publication of 
this rule for export or reexport to North Korea and that are on dock 
for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier or en route 
aboard a carrier to a port of export

[[Page 3724]]

on January 26, 2007, may be exported or reexported without being 
subject to this rule if the items are exported or reexported before 
midnight as of February 9, 2007. Any such item not actually exported or 
reexported before midnight February 9, 2007, may be exported or 
reexported only if authorized pursuant to this final rule. Exporters 
holding valid licenses for export or reexport to North Korea prior to 
January 26, 2007 are authorized to continue shipments pursuant to the 
terms and conditions of their licenses.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final rule has been determined to be significant for 
purposes of E.O. 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty 
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a currently 
valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule 
contains a collection of information subject to the requirements of the 
PRA. This collection has previously been approved by OMB under Control 
Number 0694-0088 (Multi-Purpose Application), which carries a burden 
hour estimate of 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748. This 
rule is not expected to result in any change for collection purposes. 
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of 
this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden, to David Rostker, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and to 
the Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, 
Department of Commerce, as indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this 
rule.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as this term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for 
public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable 
because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs 
function of the United States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other 
law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity 
for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a notice of 
proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not 
required to be given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. 553 or by any other 
law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable.
    Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there 
is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are 
welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be submitted to 
publiccomments@bis.doc.gov, by fax to (202) 482-3355, or to Jeffery 
Lynch, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, 
Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
