SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authorization Validated End-User
(VEU): Initial List of Approved EndUsers, Eligible Items and Destinations
Consistent with U.S. Government
policy to facilitate trade for civilian enduses in the PRC, BIS amended the EAR
in a final rule on June 19, 2007 (72 FR
33646) by creating a new authorization
for ‘‘validated end-users’’ (VEUs)
located in eligible destinations to which
eligible items (commodities, software
and technology, except those controlled
for missile technology or crime control
reasons) may be exported, reexported or
transferred without a license, in
conformance with Section 748.15 of the
EAR. As established in the June 19 rule,
the PRC is the initial destination eligible
for exports, reexports and transfers
under Authorization VEU.
Authorization VEU is a mechanism to
facilitate increased high-technology
exports to companies in the PRC that
have a record of using such items
responsibly. VEUs will be able to obtain
eligible items that are on the Commerce
Control List without having to wait for
their suppliers to obtain export licenses
from BIS. A wide range of items are
eligible for Authorization VEU. In
addition, Authorization VEU may be
used by foreign reexporters, and does
not have an expiration date.
This final rule amends Supplement
No. 7 to Part 748 of the EAR to identify
five companies with 14 eligible facilities
in the PRC as VEUs and to identify the
items that may be exported, reexported,
or transferred to them. The VEUs listed
in Supplement No. 7 to Part 748 were
reviewed and approved by the U.S.
Government in accordance with the
provisions of Section 748.15 and
Supplement Nos. 8 and 9 to Part 748 of
the EAR.
Approving these five end-users as
VEUs is expected to facilitate exports to
civilian end-users in the PRC. After
analyzing historical licensing data, BIS
anticipates that approval of these five
companies as VEUs should significantly
reduce the value of trade that requires
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
a license for export or reexport to the
PRC. Approximately $54 million of
items described as ‘‘eligible items’’ in
this notice were licensed for export to
these five end-users in 2006. This $54
million represents about 18% of all
licensed exports to the PRC in 2006.
Approval of these companies as VEUs
also represents a significant savings of
time for suppliers and end-users.
Authorization VEU will eliminate the
burden on exporters and reexporters of
preparing license applications and on
BIS for processing such applications, as
exports and reexports will be made
without licenses. This savings will
enable exporters and reexporters to
supply the VEUs much more quickly,
thus enhancing the competitiveness of
the exporters, reexporters, and endusers in the PRC.
To ensure appropriate facilitation of
exports and reexports, on-site reviews of
the VEUs may be warranted pursuant to
paragraph 748.15(a)(2) and Section 7(iv)
of Supplement No. 8 to Part 748 of the
EAR. If such reviews are warranted, BIS
will inform the PRC Ministry of
Commerce.
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, p. 783 (2002)), as extended
most recently by the Notice of August
15, 2007 (72 FR 46137, August 16,
2007), 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
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 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 regulation
involves collections previously
approved by the 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; and for
recordkeeping, reporting and review
requirements in connection with
Authorization Validated End-User,
which carries an estimated burden of 30
E:\FR\FM\19OCR1.SGM
19OCR1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 202 / Friday, October 19, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
minutes per submission. This rule is
expected to result in a decrease in
license applications submitted to BIS.
Total burden hours associated with the
Paperwork Reduction Act and Office
and Management and Budget control
number 0694–0088 are not expected to
increase significantly as a result of this
rule.
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 Sheila Quarterman,
Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of
Industry and Security, Department of
Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington,
DC 20044.

Background
On November 25, 2002, the President
signed the Homeland Security Act of
2002, 6 U.S.C. 101 et seq., Public Law
107–296, (the ‘‘HSA’’), establishing the
Department of Homeland Security
(‘‘DHS’’). Pursuant to section 403(1) of
the HSA (6 U.S.C. 203(1)), the United
States Customs Service was transferred
from the Department of the Treasury to
DHS effective March 1, 2003. Under
section 1502 of the HSA, the Customs
Service was renamed as the ‘‘Bureau of
Customs and Border Protection’’.
Subsequently, on April 23, 2007, a
notice was published in the Federal
Register (72 FR 20131) informing the
public that DHS had changed the name
of the Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection to ‘‘U.S. Customs and Border
Protection’’ effective March 31, 2007.

This final rule amends Supplement No. 7 to Part 748 of the EAR to
identify five companies with 14 eligible facilities in the PRC as VEUs
and to identify the items that may be exported, reexported, or
transferred to them. The VEUs listed in Supplement No. 7 to Part 748
were reviewed and approved by the U.S. Government in accordance with
the provisions of Section 748.15 and Supplement Nos. 8 and 9 to Part
748 of the EAR.
Approving these five end-users as VEUs is expected to facilitate
exports to civilian end-users in the PRC. After analyzing historical
licensing data, BIS anticipates that approval of these five companies
as VEUs should significantly reduce the value of trade that requires a
license for export or reexport to the PRC. Approximately $54 million of
items described as ``eligible items'' in this notice were licensed for
export to these five end-users in 2006. This $54 million represents
about 18% of all licensed exports to the PRC in 2006. Approval of these

To ensure appropriate facilitation of exports and reexports, on-
site reviews of the VEUs may be warranted pursuant to paragraph
748.15(a)(2) and Section 7(iv) of Supplement No. 8 to Part 748 of the
EAR. If such reviews are warranted, BIS will inform the PRC Ministry of
Commerce.
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, p. 783 (2002)), as extended most recently by
the Notice of August 15, 2007 (72 FR 46137, August 16, 2007), 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
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 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 regulation involves
collections previously approved by the 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; and for
recordkeeping, reporting and review requirements in connection with
Authorization Validated End-User, which carries an estimated burden of
30
[[Page 59165]]
minutes per submission. This rule is expected to result in a decrease
in license applications submitted to BIS. Total burden hours associated
with the Paperwork Reduction Act and Office and Management and Budget
control number 0694-0088 are not expected to increase significantly as
a result of this rule.
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 Sheila Quarterman, Regulatory Policy Division,
Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273,
Washington, DC 20044.
