SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to
Part 744) provides notice to the public
that certain exports, reexports, and
transfers (in-country) to entities
identified on the Entity List require a
license from the Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) and that the availability
of license exceptions in such
transactions is limited. Entities are
placed on the Entity List on the basis of
certain sections of part 744 (Control
Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) of
the EAR.
The ERC, composed of representatives
of the Departments of Commerce
(Chair), State, Defense, Energy and,
when appropriate, the Treasury, makes
all decisions regarding additions to,
removals from or other modifications to
the Entity List. The ERC makes all
decisions to add an entry to the Entity
List by majority vote and all decisions
to remove or modify an entry by
unanimous vote.
*
AGENCY:
Effective Date: This rule is
effective April 18, 2012.
DATES:
This rule amends the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) by
adding three persons to the Entity List.
The persons who are added to the Entity
List have been determined by the U.S.
Government to be acting contrary to the
national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States. These
persons will be listed on the Entity List
under the following two destinations:
Canada and Jordan.
The Entity List provides notice to the
public that certain exports, reexports,
and transfers (in-country) to entities
identified on the Entity List require a
license from the Bureau of Industry and
Security and that availability of license
exceptions in such transactions is
limited.

Additions to the Entity List
This rule implements the decision of
the ERC to add three persons to the
Entity List on the basis of Section
744.11 (License requirements that apply
to entities acting contrary to the national
security or foreign policy interests of the
United States) of the EAR. The three
entries added to the Entity List consist
of two persons in Canada and one
person in Jordan.
The ERC reviewed Section 744.11(b)
(Criteria for revising the Entity List) in
making the determination to add these
persons to the Entity List. Under that
paragraph, persons for which there is
reasonable cause to believe, based on
specific and articulable facts, that the
persons have been involved, are
involved, or pose a significant risk of
being or becoming involved in,
activities that are contrary to the
national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States and those
acting on behalf of such persons may be
added to the Entity List pursuant to
Section 744.11. Paragraphs (b)(1)–(b)(5)
of Section 744.11 include an illustrative
list of activities that could be contrary
E:\FR\FM\18APR1.SGM
18APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 18, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
to the national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States. The three
persons are believed to have been
involved in activities described under
paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(5) of Section
744.11.
The three persons in Canada and
Jordan being added to the Entity List
under this rule have been determined by
the ERC to be involved in activities that
could be contrary to the national
security or foreign policy interests of the
United States. Examples of the specific
activities these persons have been
involved with that are contrary to the
national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States pursuant
to Section 744.11 include the violation
of the license requirements imposed for
exports and reexports to Syria as
specified in Section 746.9 (formerly
General Order No. 2 of Supplement No.
1 to part 736 of the EAR), and violation
of the embargo against Iran as specified
in the Iran Transactions Regulations (31
CFR Part 560). Both Syria and Iran have
been designated by the Secretary of
State as countries that have repeatedly
provided support for acts of
international terrorism. The three
persons that are being added to the
Entity List are knowingly and willfully
engaging in the transshipment of U.S.origin equipment subject to the EAR,
without the required Department of
Commerce or Department of the
Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets
Control (OFAC) export licenses, for use
in Syria and Iran.
For the three persons added to the
Entity List, the ERC specifies a license
requirement for all items subject to the
EAR and establishes a license
application review policy of a
presumption of denial. The license
requirement applies to any transaction
in which items are to be exported,
reexported, or transferred (in-country) to
such persons or in which such persons
act as purchaser, intermediate
consignee, ultimate consignee, or enduser. In addition, no license exceptions
are available for exports, reexports, or
transfers (in-country) to those persons
being added to the Entity List.
This final rule adds the following
three persons under three entries to the
Entity List:

Savings Clause
Shipments of items removed from
eligibility for a License Exception or
export or reexport without a license
(NLR) as a result of this regulatory
action that were en route aboard a
carrier to a port of export or reexport, on
April 18, 2012, 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).
Although the Export Administration
Act expired on August 20, 2001, the
President, through Executive Order
13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001
Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the
Notice of August 12, 2011, 76 FR 50661
(August 16, 2011), has continued the
Export Administration Regulations in
effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866
direct agencies to assess all costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). Executive Order 13563
emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of
reducing costs, of harmonizing rules,
and of promoting flexibility. This 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
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
23115
involves collections previously
approved by the OMB under control
numbers 0694–0088, ‘‘Multi-Purpose
Application,’’ which carries a burden
hour estimate of 43.8 minutes for a
manual or electronic submission. Total
burden hours associated with the PRA
and OMB control number 0694–0088
are not expected to increase as a result
of this rule. You may send comments
regarding the collection of information
associated with this rule, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to
Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), by
email to
Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.eop.gov, or by
fax to (202) 395–7285.
3. This rule does not contain policies
with Federalism implications as that
term is defined in 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
comment and a delay in effective date
are inapplicable because this regulation
involves a military or foreign affairs
function of the United States. (See 5
U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS implements this
rule to protect U.S. national security or
foreign policy interests by preventing
items from being exported, reexported,
or transferred (in country) to the persons
being added to the Entity List. If this
rule were delayed to allow for notice
and comment and a delay in effective
date, then entities being added to the
Entity List by this action would
continue to be able to receive items
without a license and to conduct
activities contrary to the national
security or foreign policy interests of the
United States. In addition, because these
parties may receive notice of the U.S.
Government’s intention to place these
entities on the Entity List once a final
rule was published it would create an
incentive for these persons to either
accelerate receiving items subject to the
EAR to conduct activities that are
contrary to the national security or
foreign policy interests of the United
States and/or to take steps to set up
additional aliases, change addresses and
take other steps to try to limit the
impact of the listing on the Entity List
once a final rule was published. Further,
no other law requires that a notice of
proposed rulemaking and an
opportunity for public comment be
given for this rule. Because a notice of
proposed rulemaking and an
opportunity for public comment are not
required to be given for this rule by 5
U.S.C. 553, or by any other law, the
analytical requirements of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744) provides notice to
the public that certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country)
to entities identified on the Entity List require a license from the
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and that the availability of
license exceptions in such transactions is limited. Entities are placed
on the Entity List on the basis of certain sections of part 744
(Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) of the EAR.
The ERC, composed of representatives of the Departments of Commerce
(Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, when appropriate, the Treasury,
makes all decisions regarding additions to, removals from or other
modifications to the Entity List. The ERC makes all decisions to add an
entry to the Entity List by majority vote and all decisions to remove
or modify an entry by unanimous vote.
ERC Entity List Decisions
Additions to the Entity List
This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add three persons
to the Entity List on the basis of Section 744.11 (License requirements
that apply to entities acting contrary to the national security or
foreign policy interests of the United States) of the EAR. The three
entries added to the Entity List consist of two persons in Canada and
one person in Jordan.
The ERC reviewed Section 744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the
Entity List) in making the determination to add these persons to the
Entity List. Under that paragraph, persons for which there is
reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts,
that the persons have been involved, are involved, or pose a
significant risk of being or becoming involved in, activities that are
contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the
United States and those acting on behalf of such persons may be added
to the Entity List pursuant to Section 744.11. Paragraphs (b)(1)-(b)(5)
of Section 744.11 include an illustrative list of activities that could
be contrary
[[Page 23115]]
to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United
States. The three persons are believed to have been involved in
activities described under paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(5) of Section
744.11.
The three persons in Canada and Jordan being added to the Entity
List under this rule have been determined by the ERC to be involved in
activities that could be contrary to the national security or foreign
policy interests of the United States. Examples of the specific
activities these persons have been involved with that are contrary to
the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States
pursuant to Section 744.11 include the violation of the license
requirements imposed for exports and reexports to Syria as specified in
Section 746.9 (formerly General Order No. 2 of Supplement No. 1 to part
736 of the EAR), and violation of the embargo against Iran as specified
in the Iran Transactions Regulations (31 CFR Part 560). Both Syria and
Iran have been designated by the Secretary of State as countries that
have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism.
The three persons that are being added to the Entity List are knowingly
and willfully engaging in the transshipment of U.S.-origin equipment
subject to the EAR, without the required Department of Commerce or
Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
export licenses, for use in Syria and Iran.
For the three persons added to the Entity List, the ERC specifies a
license requirement for all items subject to the EAR and establishes a
license application review policy of a presumption of denial. The
license requirement applies to any transaction in which items are to be
exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) to such persons or in
which such persons act as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate
consignee, or end-user. In addition, no license exceptions are
available for exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) to those
persons being added to the Entity List.
This final rule adds the following three persons under three
entries to the Entity List:

Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception
or export or reexport without a license (NLR) as a result of this
regulatory action that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of
export or reexport, on April 18, 2012, 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).
Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001,
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 12,
2011, 76 FR 50661 (August 16, 2011), has continued the Export
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This 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 numbers 0694-
0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour
estimate of 43.8 minutes for a manual or electronic submission. Total
burden hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088
are not expected to increase as a result of this rule. You may send
comments regarding the collection of information associated with this
rule, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Jasmeet K.
Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by email to Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.eop.gov, or by fax to (202) 395-7285.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in 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 comment and a delay in effective date are inapplicable because
this regulation involves a military or foreign affairs function of the
United States. (See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS implements this rule to
protect U.S. national security or foreign policy interests by
preventing items from being exported, reexported, or transferred (in
country) to the persons being added to the Entity List. If this rule
were delayed to allow for notice and comment and a delay in effective
date, then entities being added to the Entity List by this action would
continue to be able to receive items without a license and to conduct
activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States. In addition, because these parties may
receive notice of the U.S. Government's intention to place these
entities on the Entity List once a final rule was published it would
create an incentive for these persons to either accelerate receiving
items subject to the EAR to conduct activities that are contrary to the
national security or foreign policy interests of the United States and/
or to take steps to set up additional aliases, change addresses and
take other steps to try to limit the impact of the listing on the
Entity List once a final rule was published. Further, no other law
requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment be given for this rule. Because a notice of proposed
rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be
given for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 553, or by any other law, the
analytical requirements of the
