China in sufficient quantities to render
the U.S. export control of the cameras
ineffective.
BIS has reviewed the SITAC petition
and determined that it has sufficient
evidence to show that foreign
availability of these cameras exists.
Therefore, BIS is initiating a foreign
availability assessment of uncooled
thermal imaging cameras incorporating
microbolometer focal plane arrays.
Upon completion of the assessment, BIS
will submit its findings to the Secretary
of Commerce, who in turn will issue a
final determination for the Department.
The final determination will be
published in the Federal Register.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Comments
Background
To assist in assessing the foreign
availability of these cameras, BIS is
seeking public comments and
submissions that relate to the following
information:
• Product names and model
designations of cameras that are made in
China and that are comparable to the
U.S. cameras with a spectral band
between 8 and 14 microns, a frame rate
of no more than 60 Hz, and a pixel
count of 110,592 or less (U.S. cameras);
• Names and locations of Chinese
companies that produce and export
indigenously-produced cameras
comparable to U.S. cameras;
• Chinese production quantities,
sales, and/or exports of cameras
comparable to U.S. cameras;
• Data on imports of Chinese cameras
comparable to U.S. cameras, and/or
testing and analysis of such cameras;
• An estimate of the economic impact
on U.S. companies of the export
controls on the U.S. cameras.
Any tangible evidence to support the
above information would also be useful
to BIS in its conduct of this assessment.
Examples of other useful evidence are
found in Supplement No. 1 to Part 768
of the EAR.
Sections 5(f) and 5(h) of the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended
(EAA), authorizes the Secretary of
Commerce to conduct foreign
availability assessments to examine and
reevaluate the effectiveness of U.S. dualuse export controls on certain items that
are controlled for national security
reasons under the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR). The
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
has been delegated the responsibility of
conducting these assessments and
compiling a final report for the
Secretary’s review and consideration
when issuing a final foreign availability
determination. Part 768 of the EAR sets
forth the procedures related to foreign
availability assessments. BIS is
publishing this notice to announce the
initiation of an assessment and to
request public comments on certain
aspects of the item under review.
AGENCY:
Foreign Availability Assessment
SUMMARY: This notice is to announce
that the Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS) is initiating a foreign availability
assessment pursuant to sections 5(f) and
5(h) of the Export Administration Act of
1979, as amended (EAA). The Office of
Technology Evaluation (OTE) will
oversee the assessment of the foreign
availability in China of uncooled
thermal imaging cameras incorporating
microbolometer focal plane arrays. BIS
is also seeking public comments on the
foreign availability of these cameras in
China.
DATES: Comments must be received by
September 17, 2008.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by any of the following methods:
On behalf of the Secretary, BIS has
initiated an assessment in response to a
certified foreign availability petition
received from the Sensors and
Instrumentation Technical Advisory
Committee (SITAC). The SITAC petition
asserts the foreign availability of
uncooled thermal imaging cameras in
China. These cameras incorporate
microbolometer focal plane arrays
operating in a spectral band between 8
and 14 microns, with a frame rate no
higher than 60 Hz, and a pixel count of
110,592 or less. These items are
currently controlled for national
security reasons under Export Control
Commodity Classification Number
(ECCN) 6A003.b.4.b on the Commerce
Control List (Supplement No. 1 to Part
774 of the EAR). The SITAC petition
asserts that cameras of comparable
quality to those subject to control under
6A003.b.4.b are available-in-fact from
