Trading Co., No. 212 Baniyas Tower,
Dubai, U.A.E. 6708; and Elmstone
Trading L.L.C., P.O. Box 24896, Sharjah,
U.A.E. License applications to export,
reexport, or transfer (in-country) items
subject to the EAR to these entities will
be reviewed based on the license review
standards for certain rocket systems and
unmanned air vehicles end-uses found
in § 744.3 of the EAR. Therefore,
applications will be considered on a
case-by-case basis to determine whether
the export, reexport, or transfer would
make a material contribution to the
proliferation of certain rocket systems,
or unmanned air vehicles. When an
export, reexport or transfer is deemed to
make a material contribution, the
license will be denied.
Background
This rule makes the following
revisions to the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR):
Savings Clause
Shipments of items removed from
eligibility for a License Exception or for
export or reexport without a license
(NLR) as a result of this regulatory
action that were on dock for loading, on
lighter, laden aboard an exporting or
reexporting carrier, or en route aboard a
carrier to a port of export or reexport on
March 2, 2007, pursuant to actual orders
for export or reexport to a foreign
destination, may proceed to that
destination under the previous
eligibility for a License Exception or
export or reexport without a license
(NLR) so long as they are exported or
reexported before April 2, 2007. Any
such items not actually exported or
reexported before midnight on April 2,
2007 require a license in accordance
with this rule.
Since August 21, 2001, the Export
Administration Act has been in lapse
and the President, through Executive
Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR,
2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), as extended
most recently by the Notice of August 3,
2006, 71 FR 44551 (Aug. 7, 2006), has
continued the EAR in effect under the
International Emergency Economic
Powers Act. BIS continues to carry out
the provisions of the Act, as appropriate
and to the extent permitted by law,
pursuant to Executive Order 13222.
Additions to the Entity List
Pursuant to 15 CFR 744.3(b), this rule
amends Supplement No. 4 to part 744
(the Entity List) by adding two entities
located in the U.A.E. to the Entity List.
This notifies the public that a license is
required for the export or reexport of all
items subject to the EAR to: Bazaar
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined
to be not significant for purposes of
Executive Order 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
Addition of Entities to the Entity List
Bureau of Industry and
Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) is amending the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) to
add two entities located in the United
Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) to the Entity List.
The Entity List is a compilation of endusers that present an unacceptable risk
of using or diverting certain items to
activities related to weapons of mass
destruction. BIS requires a license for
most exports or reexports to these
entities and maintains the Entity List to
inform the public of these license
requirements.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This rule is effective:
March 2, 2007.

with, a collection of information subject
to the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
Control Number. This rule involves a
collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This collection has
been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget under control
number 0694–0088, ‘‘Multi-Purpose
Application,’’ which carries a burden
hour estimate of 58 minutes for a
manual or electronic submission. Send
comments regarding these burden
estimates or any other aspect of these
collections of information, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to
David Rostker, Office of Management
and Budget (OMB), by e-mail to

Administration, Bureau of Industry and
Security, Department of Commerce,
14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,
Room 6883, Washington, DC 20230.
3. This rule does not contain policies
with Federalism implications as that
term is defined under Executive Order
13132.
4. The provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act 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 the
Administrative Procedure Act 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 Timothy Mooney, Office of
Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry
and Security, Department of Commerce,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :
Background
This rule makes the following revisions to the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR):
Additions to the Entity List
Pursuant to 15 CFR 744.3(b), this rule amends Supplement No. 4 to
part 744 (the Entity List) by adding two entities located in the U.A.E.
to the Entity List. This notifies the public that a license is required
for the export or reexport of all items subject to the EAR to: Bazaar
Trading Co., No. 212 Baniyas Tower, Dubai, U.A.E. 6708; and Elmstone
Trading L.L.C., P.O. Box 24896, Sharjah, U.A.E. License applications to
export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) items subject to the EAR to
these entities will be reviewed based on the license review standards
for certain rocket systems and unmanned air vehicles end-uses found in
Sec. 744.3 of the EAR. Therefore, applications will be considered on a
case-by-case basis to determine whether the export, reexport, or
transfer would make a material contribution to the proliferation of
certain rocket systems, or unmanned air vehicles. When an export,
reexport or transfer is deemed to make a material contribution, the
license will be denied.
Savings Clause
Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception
or for export or reexport without a license (NLR) as a result of this
regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden
aboard an exporting or reexporting carrier, or en route aboard a
carrier to a port of export or reexport on March 2, 2007, pursuant to
actual orders for export or reexport to a foreign destination, may
proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility for a
License Exception or export or reexport without a license (NLR) so long
as they are exported or reexported before April 2, 2007. Any such items
not actually exported or reexported before midnight on April 2, 2007
require a license in accordance with this rule.
Since August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act has been in
lapse and the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17,
2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), as extended most recently by the
Notice of August 3, 2006, 71 FR 44551 (Aug. 7, 2006), has continued the
EAR in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
BIS continues to carry out the provisions of the Act, as appropriate
and to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 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, unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget
Control Number. This rule involves a collection of information subject
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This
collection has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget
under control number 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which

3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act requiring
notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public

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
