Wassenaar Arrangement 2012 Plenary
Agreements Implementation:
Commerce Control List, Definitions,
and Reports
Bureau of Industry and
Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) maintains, as part of its
Export Administration Regulations
(EAR), the Commerce Control List
(CCL), which identifies certain of the
items subject to Department of
Commerce jurisdiction. This final rule
revises the CCL to implement changes
made to the Wassenaar Arrangement’s
List of Dual-Use Goods and
Technologies (Wassenaar List)
maintained and agreed to by
governments participating in the
Wassenaar Arrangement on Export
Controls for Conventional Arms and
Dual-Use Goods and Technologies
(Wassenaar Arrangement, or WA) at the
December 2012 WA Plenary Meeting
(the Plenary). The Wassenaar
Arrangement advocates implementation
of effective export controls on strategic
items with the objective of improving
regional and international security and
stability. This rule harmonizes the CCL
with the changes made to the WA List
at the Plenary by revising ECCNs
controlled for national security reasons
in each category of the CCL, except
category 8, as well as amending the
General Software Note, WA reporting
requirements, and definitions section in
the EAR. BIS is adding unilateral
controls to the CCL for specific software
and technology for aviation control
systems, which the WA agreements
removed from the WA List, i.e., EAR
national security controls.
DATES: This rule is effective: June 20,
2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) on
Export Controls for Conventional Arms
and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies
is a group of 41 like-minded states
committed to promoting responsibility
and transparency in the global arms
trade, and preventing destabilizing
accumulations of arms. As a
Participating State, the United States
has committed to controlling for export
all items on the WA control lists. The
lists were first established in 1996 and
have been revised annually thereafter.
Proposals for changes to the WA control
lists that achieve consensus are
approved by Participating States at
annual December Plenary meetings.
Participating States are charged with
implementing the agreed list changes as
soon as possible after approval.
Implementation of WA list changes
ensures U.S. companies have a level
playing field with their competitors in
other WA member states.
Revisions to the Commerce Control List
Out of the 37 Export Control
Classification Numbers (ECCNs)
included in this rule, the following 28
ECCNs on the Commerce Control List
(CCL) are revised to implement the
changes to the Wassenaar List of DualUse Goods and Technologies agreed to
at the December 2012 WA Plenary
meeting: ECCNs 1A004, 1C001, 2B001,
2B006, 2D001, 2D002, 3A001, 3A002,
3B001, 3C002, 4D001, 5A001, 5B001,
5E001, 5A002, 5E002, 6A001, 6A002,
6A005, 6C004, 6C005, 7A001, 7D003,
7E001, 7E004, 9A001, 9A018 and
9E003; and the following two (2)
ECCNs, 2D003 and 7D004, are added to
the CCL to implement the changes to the
Wassenaar List of Dual-Use Goods and
Technologies agreed to at the December
2012 WA Plenary meeting.
Corresponding changes related to the
movement of 5A001.i to 5A001.f.1 are
made to ECCNs 5A980, 5D001, 5D980,
5E001and 5E980.
This rule also makes additions to
0D521 and 0E521 for ‘‘source code’’ for
the ‘‘development’’ of fly-by-wire
control systems and ‘‘technology’’ for

Category 1 Special Materials and
Related Equipment, Chemicals,
‘‘Microorganisms,’’ and ‘‘Toxins’’
1A004 (Protective and Detection
Equipment and Components)
In the introductory paragraph .a of the
Items paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section, ‘‘Gas masks’’ is
replaced by ‘‘Full face masks’’ and a
Technical Note is added to explain that
‘‘for the purpose of 1A004.a, full face
masks are also known as gas masks.’’
The masks controlled in 1A004.a protect
against more than just gases and the
term gas masks has been replaced by
full face masks in manufacture data
sheets. This change in terminology does
not change the scope of the control.
In the Note at the end of the Items
paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section, paragraph .b is amended by
replacing ‘‘Equipment’’ with
‘‘Occupational health or safety
equipment’’ to clarify the scope of the
exclusion Note.
1C001 (Materials Specially Designed for
Use as Absorbers of Electromagnetic
Waves, or Intrinsically Conductive
Polymers)
Paragraph 1C001.b (Piezoelectric
polymers and copolymers) of the Items
paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section is amended by adding an
exclusion Note for materials, specially
designed or formulated for laser
marking of polymers; or laser welding of
polymers, because these materials are
not used in military applications.
Paragraph 1C001.c (Seals, gaskets,
valve seats, bladders or diaphragms) of
the Items paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section is amended by
adding an exclusion Note for 1C001.c
materials in liquid form, because the
liquid form is not used in military
applications but is used in commercial
applications to make a transparent
conductive layer. It is also used, for
example, in the liquid crystal panel of
televisions, personal computers, and
other such commercial commodities.
Category 2—Materials Processing
2B001 (Machine Tools)
The Header is amended to remove the
phrase ‘‘and specially designed
components’’ to harmonize with the
changes to 2B001.f.
The Unit paragraph of the List of
Items Controlled section is amended by
removing the phrase ‘‘components in $

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 119 / Thursday, June 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
paragraph of the List of Items controlled
section in 2B001 are as follows.
The exclusion Note 2 to 2B001 is
amended by correcting the spelling of
jewelry in paragraph .d and adding
paragraph .e for dental prostheses.
2B001.a (Machine tools for turning) is
amended by revising the positioning
accuracy in 2B001.a.1 from 4.5 mm to
3.0 mm and moving the phrase
‘‘according to ISO 230/2 (2006)’’ within
that paragraph, and adding the phrase
‘‘or national equivalents’’ to harmonize
with WA agreed text.
2B001.b (Machine tools for milling) is
amended by revising the positioning
accuracy in 2B001.b.1.a from 4.5 mm to
3.0 mm and moving the phrase
‘‘according to ISO 230/2 (2006)’’ within
that paragraph, and adding the phrase
‘‘or national equivalents’’ to harmonize
with WA agreed text.
2B001.b.2 (Five or more axes machine
tools for milling) is amended by adding
three paragraphs b.2.a, b.2.b and b.2.c
with combinations of positioning
accuracy and travel length parameters:
equal to or less than 3.0 mm/less than
1m, equal to or less than 4.5 mm/greater
than 1m and less than 2 m, and equal
to or less than 4.5 + 7x(L–2) mm (L is
the travel length in meters)/equal to or
greater than 2m, respectively. In
addition, this rule moves the phrase
‘‘according to ISO 230/2 (2006)’’ within
b.2.b and b.2.c, and adds the phrase ‘‘or
national equivalents’’ to harmonize with
WA agreed text. A Note is added after
b.2 to point people to 2B001.b.2.d for
parallel mechanism machine tools.
2B001.b.2.d is added to clarify that
2B001 controls five or more axes
machine tools for milling that are also
‘parallel mechanism machine tools.’ A
Technical Note accompanying this
paragraph explains that a ‘parallel
mechanism machine tool’ is a machine
tool having multiple rods, which are
linked with a platform and actuators;
each of the actuators operates the
respective rod simultaneously and
independently.
2B001.b.3 is amended by moving the
phrase ‘‘according to ISO 230/2(2006)’’
in this paragraph and replacing ‘‘along
any linear axis’’ with ‘‘along one or
more linear axis’’ to clarify the control
text. This rule also adds the phrase ‘‘or
national equivalents’’ to harmonize with
WA agreed text.
2B001.b.4.b is amended by replacing
the period with a semi-colon to correct
the punctuation.
2B001.f (Deep-hole-drilling machines
and turning machines) is amended by
removing the phrase ‘‘and specially
designed components therefor,’’ because
components for these machines are
general and not specially designed.

2B006 (Dimensional Inspection or
Measuring Systems, Equipment, and
‘‘Electronic Assemblies’’)
2B006.b.1 (‘Linear displacement’
measuring instruments) is amended by
adding a Note to reference 2B006.b.1.c
for controls on displacement measuring
‘‘laser’’ interferometers.
2B006.c (Equipment for measuring
surface roughness (including surface
defects)) is amended by replacing
‘‘irregularities’’ with ‘‘roughness
(including surface defects)’’ and
removing the phrase ‘‘as a function of
angle.’’ This change will clarify the
scope of controls to integrate some of
the expanded abilities of measuring
equipment.
2D001 (‘‘Software’’ for ‘‘Development’’
and ‘‘Production’’ for Listed Category 2
Equipment)
The Header is simplified, because a
more detailed description of controlled
software is now in the Items paragraph
of the List of Items Controlled section.
The Items paragraph is amended by
adding two paragraphs that split the
controls that were previously in the
Header, which separates ‘‘use’’ from
‘‘development’’ or ‘‘production’’
software in order to move 2B002 ‘‘use’’
software from 2D001 to the new 2D003.
Paragraph .a controls ‘‘development’’ or
‘‘production’’ of equipment controlled
by 2A001 or 2B001 to 2B009. Paragraph
.b narrows the scope for ‘‘use’’ to
equipment specified by 2A001.c, 2B001,
or 2B003 to 2B009, which excludes
most of 2A001 and all of 2B002
(Numerically controlled optical
finishing machine tools equipped for
selective material removal * * *.).
A Note is added to exclude ‘‘part
programming ‘‘software’’ that generates
‘‘numerical control’’ codes for
machining various parts’’ from 2D001
controls, because this software cannot
directly operate the Computer Numeric
Controller (CNC) equipment.
2D002 (‘‘Software’’ for Electronic
Devices, Even When Residing in an
Electronic Device or System, Enabling
Such Devices or Systems To Function as
a ‘‘Numerical Control’’ Unit, Capable of
Coordinating Simultaneously More
Than 4 Axes for ‘‘Contouring Control’’)
Note 1 is amended by replacing the
word ‘‘controlled’’ with ‘‘specified’’ to
harmonize with the WA list and clarify
the meaning of the Note.
Note 2 is amended by replacing the
word ‘‘controlled’’ with ‘‘specified’’ in
two places to harmonize with the WA
list and clarify the meaning of the Note.
Also, a reference to 2D003 is added.
Note 3 is added to exclude ‘‘software’’
for the minimum necessary operation of

with the machine tools.
2D003 (‘‘Software’’, Designed or
Modified for the Operation Of
Equipment Specified by 2B002, That
Converts Optical Design, Workpiece
Measurements and Material Removal
Functions Into ‘‘Numerical Control’’
Commands To Achieve the Desired
Workpiece Form)
ECCN 2D003 is added to control the
‘‘use’’ software for 2B002 optical
finishing machines, which is critical to
the function of 2B002 machines. This
ECCN is controlled for national security
(NS2) and for anti-terrorism (AT1—
Cuba, Iran, N. Korea, Syria and Sudan)
reasons; see Supplement No. 1 to part
738 of the EAR. License Exception TSR
is available to countries in Country
Group B (see Supp. No. 1 to Part 740),
see § 740.6 of the EAR.
Category 3—Electronics
3A001 (Electronic Components and
Specially Designed Components
Therefor) and 3A002 (General Purpose
Electronic Equipment and Accessories
Therefor)
3A001.a.7 (Field programmable logic
devices) is amended by this rule.
Paragraph a.7.a is revised by replacing
‘‘digital input/outputs’’ with ‘‘singleended digital input/outputs,’’ which
narrows the scope of control. The level
of control is amended by revising the
maximum number of single-ended
digital input/outputs from ‘‘greater than
200’’ to ‘‘500 or greater’’ to reflect the
advances made in recent years to Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)
devices and to remove controls on older
devices.
Paragraph a.7.b parameter ‘‘system
gate count’’ is changed to ‘‘an ‘aggregate
one-way peak serial transceiver data
rate’ or 200 Gb/s or greater’’ to remove
the arbitrary and problematic metric of
system gates as a control parameter and
replace it with a more modern and
meaningful metric for FPGAs with
embedded transceiver circuitry.
A Technical Note is added to define
‘Aggregate one-way peak serial
transceiver data rate,’ which is the
product of the peak serial one-way
transceiver data rate times the number
of transceivers on the FPGA.
3A001.b.2 (Microwave ‘‘Monolithic
Integrated Circuits’’ (MMIC) power
amplifiers) is amended by adding -70
dBm as an equivalent output power
parameter to 0.1 nW in paragraph b.2.d,
for consistency.
The frequency of 37.5 is changed to
37 GHz in paragraphs b.2.d and b.2.e.

37374
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 119 / Thursday, June 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
For many years, controls on microwave
components have used 37.5 GHz as the
frequency breakpoint between military
and civilian applications. In fact, the
proper breakpoint is 37 GHz, as per the
ETSI EN 300 197 standard.
Paragraph b.2.e is amended by
removing the fractional bandwidth
parameter, because a fractional
bandwidth as large as 10%, within a
band that is only 16% wide, is illogical.
To compensate, this rule increases the
output power parameter from 0.25 W
(24 dBm) to 1.0 W (30 dBm) to align
with state-of-the-art output power in
this frequency range.
Paragraph b.2.f is amended by adding
a ceiling to the operation frequency of
75 GHz, which is the top of the V band
to align with waveguide bands. The
average output power parameter is
raised from 0.1 nW to 31.62 mW (15
dBm) with a ‘‘fractional bandwidth’’
greater than 10%, which aligns with the
15 dBm output power control threshold
for network analyzers in 3A002.e.1.
Two new parameter paragraphs are
added for MMIC power amplifiers
controlled under b.2.g and b.2.h to add
two new frequency ranges to align with
the 90 GHz top of the E band-WR–12
waveguide upper limit. Paragraph b.2.g
controls MMIC power amplifiers rated
for operation at frequencies exceeding
75 GHz up to and including 90 GHz
with an average output power greater
than 10 mW (10 dBm) with a ‘‘fractional
bandwidth’’ greater than 5%. Paragraph
b.2.h controls MMIC power amplifiers
rated for operation at frequencies
exceeding 90 GHz and with an average
output power greater than 0.1 nW (-70
dBm).
3A001.b.4 (Microwave solid state
amplifiers and microwave assemblies/
modules containing microwave solid
state amplifiers) is amended by adding
‘‘either’’ to paragraph b.4.f.3 to
eliminate an ambiguity in the current
text. The Technical Note below this
paragraph is corrected to harmonize
with the WA list. Note 3 is added to
clarify that 3A001.b.4 includes transmit/
receive modules and transmit modules.
3A001.b.10 (Oscillators or oscillator
assemblies) and 3A002.d.4 (signal
generators) are amended by replacing
the word ‘‘for’’ with ‘‘anywhere within
the range of’’ in b.10.a, b.10.b,
3A002.d.4.a and d.4.b to clarify that
oscillators or oscillator assemblies and
signal generators, respectively, are
controlled if it meets the parameters at
any point within the selected ranges.
3A001.b.11 (‘‘Frequency synthesizer’’
‘‘electronic assemblies’’) is amended by
revising the ‘‘frequency switching time’’
in paragraph b.11.a from 312 ps to 156
ps. The frequency switching time
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:08 Jun 19, 2013
Jkt 229001
threshold of 3A001.b.11.a is the inverse
of the lower frequency control threshold
(current, 312 ps = 1/3.2 GHz). The new
threshold is 156 ps = 1/6.4 GHz. This
would retain control on Digital to
Analog Converter (DAC)-based
synthesizer assemblies having sample
rate exceeding 16 GSa/s (frequency is
calculated by dividing sample rate by
2.5).
Paragraphs 3A001.b.11.b and
3A002.d.3.b are amended by revising
the low-frequency threshold from 3.2
GHz to 4.8 GHz to accommodate the
802.11ac (Very High Throughput—VHT)
amendment. The 802.11ac standard uses
wider bandwidths for higher
throughputs and data rates to address
several uses, including wireless displays
for in-home distribution of High
Definition Television (HDTV).
Paragraphs 3A001.b.11.f, b.11.g,
3A002.c.2, c.3, d.1, d.2, d.3.f, d.4.a,
d.4.b, d.5, e.1, and e.2, are amended by
raising the high-frequency limit from 70
GHz to 75 GHz, which corresponds to
the top of the V-band (waveguide).
Aligning the specified frequency to
standard waveguide frequency
breakpoints makes this parameter more
relevant to national security concerns.
3A002.c.4 is amended by revising the
Heading from ‘‘Dynamic signal
analyzers’’ to ‘‘Signal analyzers’’ and
cascading the control parameters to
clarify the controls.
Paragraph c.4.a is amended by
removing ‘‘a’’ and revising the ‘‘realtime bandwidth’’ from ‘‘40 MHz’’ to ‘‘85
MHz’’ to update the control level. The
definition for ‘‘real-time bandwidth’’ is
also updated in Part 772 of the EAR to
better define the concept of gap-free
analysis of the input data, and to assure
that the scope of control remains
specific and focused, which is also the
reason for adding paragraph c.4.b that
adds a gap and windowing effect aspect
to the control.
The Note to 3A002.c.4 is amended by
changing ‘‘dynamic signal analyzers’’ to
‘‘signal analyzers’’ for clarity.
Technical Notes are added for
3A002.c.4.b to explain probability of
discovery, also known as probability of
intercept or probability of capture.
3A002.c.5 is added to add a new
control parameter for ‘‘frequency mask
trigger,’’ which provides the capability
to capture sporadic transient RF signals
within other closely spaced RF signals.
A definition for ‘‘frequency mask
trigger’’ is added to Part 772 in relation
to this new paragraph.
3A002.d.3.a (‘‘frequency switching
time’’ less than 312 ps) is removed as a
parameter for frequency synthesized
signal generators, because extension of
the 802.11 standard for consumer
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
wireless products in the frequency range
5–6 GHz has rendered the existing
control threshold obsolete.
3A002.e (Network analyzers) is
amended by adding ‘‘An’’ to the
beginning of paragraph e.1 for
consistency and correct grammar. This
rule also removes the ‘‘or’’ at the end of
the paragraph, because two additional
paragraphs are added to cover frequency
ranges up to 110 GHz. This change
makes it clear that 110 GHz is the
normal max frequency for 1.00 mm
coaxial microwave connectors. A
Technical Note is also added to define
‘Nonlinear vector measurement
functionality,’ which is a term used in
paragraph e.3. Paragraph e.4 (former
paragraph e.2) is amended by revising
the maximum operating frequency from
70 GHz to 110 GHz.
3A002.f (Microwave test receivers) is
amended by revising the maximum
frequency control threshold of 3A002.f
.1 from 70 GHz to 110 GHz, to align
with 3A002.e, because of the similarity
between 3A002.e network analyzers and
3A002.f microwave test receivers.
3B001 (Equipment for the
Manufacturing of Semiconductor
Devices or Materials)
3B001.a.2 (Metal Organic Chemical
Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) reactors) is
amended by simplifying the control text
to clarify that MOCVD systems used to
produce nitride based devices are
within the scope of control.
3B001.b (Equipment designed for ion
implantation) is amended by removing
and reserving paragraph b.1 (beam
energy (accelerating votage) exceeding 1
MeV), which controlled ion implant
systems used for the manufacture of
memory integrated circuits (Example:
FLASH NAND). This technology is
ubiquitous and equivalent tools are
readily obtained globally.
Paragraph b.2 is amended by raising
the beam energy parameter and
specification of the implant materials,
which assures only equipment used in
the production of radiation hardened
ICs is captured.
Paragraphs b.3 and b.4 are amended
by moving the ‘‘or’’ from the end of b.3
to the end of b.4, because a new
paragraph b.5 is added.
Paragraph b.5 is added to control
equipment using channeled silicon ion
beams in heated equipment.
3A001.h (Multi-layer masks with
phase shift layer not specified by
3B001.g) is amended by adding two new
parameters. Paragraph h.1 specifies
glass birefringence of the mask (less
than 7 nm/cm), which delineates phase
shift masks that are used for defining
geometries consistent with the
E:\FR\FM\20JNR3.SGM
20JNR3
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 119 / Thursday, June 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
lithography control. Paragraph h.2
specifies the light source wavelength of
the lithography equipment (less than
245 nm), to control only phase shift
masks that are consistent with the
lithography control of 245nm
wavelength source. This revision will
control phase shift masks that are used
for emerging Extreme Ultra-Violet (EUV)
lithography. The addition of the phrase
‘‘not specified by 3B001.g’’ to the
introductory text in 3A001.h resolves
the possible ‘‘double coverage’’ between
3B001.g and 3B001.h.
3C002 (Resist Materials and
‘‘Substrates’’ Coated With Specified
Resists)
License Exceptions GBS and CIV
paragraphs are revised to read, ‘‘Yes for
3C002.a provided they are not also
controlled by 3C002.b through .e’’, to be
more accurate and concise.
Paragraph 3C002.a (Resists designed
for semiconductor lithography) is
amended by cascading the parameter
paragraphs and adding a new paragraph
a.2. Paragraph a.1 now controls positive
resists adjusted (optimized) for use at
wavelengths equal to or greater than 15
nm, but less than 245 nm. Paragraph a.2
controls resists adjusted (optimized) for
use at wavelengths greater than 1 nm,
but less than 15 nm. These revisions are
made to be more specific about the
controls.
Paragraph 3C002.c (All resists
designed for use with X-rays, with a
sensitivity of 2.5 J/mm2 or better) is
removed and reserved, because these
resists are not used for the fabrication of
semiconductor devices.
Paragraph 3C002.d (All resists
optimized for surface imaging
technologies) is amended by removing
the reference to silylated resists, as well
as the definition for silylation
techniques in the Related Definition
paragraph of the List of Items Controlled
section, because it was determined that
it is not necessary to specifically call out
silylated resists.
Category 4—Computers
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES3
4D001 ‘‘Software’’
4D001.a is amended by deleting the
term ‘‘use,’’ because no ‘‘use’’ software
of concern could be identified for this
entry, and by removing 4A002 from the
scope of control, because it was
removed in 2004.

NS2 and SL controls, because items
previously controlled under paragraph .i
are moved to paragraph .f.1 Paragraph
.f.1 is already controlled under NS2.
Paragraph f.1 is added to the SL control
paragraph.
The License Requirement Notes
paragraph is amended by replacing the
reference to 5A001.i with 5A001.f.1.
License Exception LVS eligibility
paragraph is amended by revising
reference to paragraph .f to read f.2, f.3,
f.4 in order to narrow the scope, because
the interception equipment in 5A001.f.1
is too sensitive to receive License
Exception LVS eligibility.
5A001.f (Mobile telecommunications
jamming equipment) is amended by
adding ‘‘interception or’’ in order to
expand the scope of control to all
mobile telecommunications jamming
and interception equipment that is of
national security concern, as well as
equipment that monitors the network to
detect jamming and interception that is
of national security concern. 5A001.i
was combined with the former 5A001.f
as a clarification because interception
and jamming are often interrelated
functions. 5A001.f.1 (Interception
equipment designed for the extraction of
voice or data, transmitted over the air
interface) is moved from 5A001.i and
license requirements are not changed.
5A001.f.2 (interception equipment not
specified in 5A001.f.1) is designed to
control equipment that captures and
processes the air interface (e.g., the air
link between a handset and a base
station, over which voice/data and
metadata are transmitted) in order to
extract client device or subscriber
indicators (such as IMSI, TIMSI, IMEI),
signalling or other metadata contained
therein, but not without also processing
the voice or data channels contained
therein. Licenses are required for
countries listed in NS2 and AT1 of the
Commerce Country Chart in
Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the
EAR.
5A001.f.3 (Jamming equipment) was
the former 5A001.f and license
requirements are not changed.
5A001.f.4 (Radio Frequency (RF)
monitoring equipment designed or
modified to identify the operation of
items specified in 5A001.f.1, f.2, or f.3)
is added to control passive counter

Regarding certain types of equipment
that are not controlled by 5A001.f, the
term ‘interception equipment’ excludes
equipment used to operate or test the
network (e.g., devices which measure
signal strength, and do not require the
signal’s contents to be decoded,
demodulated, or recorded, are not
considered ‘interception equipment’),
and also readily available radio
monitoring equipment for analog
communications found in, for example,
taxi-cab radios and home police
scanners. The Note is amended to also
generally exclude equipment designed
for mobile telecommunications network
operators, designed for the
‘‘development’’ or ‘‘production of
mobile telecommunications equipment
or systems, or specially designed for the
interception of analog Private Mobile
Radio (PMR), IEEE 802.11 WLAN.
Nota Bene (NB) 1 is amended by
removing the text ‘‘For GNSS jamming
equipment,’’ and adding the text ‘‘For
items specified by 5A001.f.1 (including
as previously specified by 5A001.i), see
also 5A980 and U.S. Munitions List (22
CFR 121)’’, because 5A001.f is expanded
and there may be some related
equipment in the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR Parts
120–130) that should be considered
when classifying this type of equipment.
A Nota Bene (NB) 2 is added to
reference 5A001.b.5 for radio receivers
in order to clarify that 5A001.f does not
apply to radio receivers.
5A001.h (Counter Improvised
Explosive Device (IED) equipment and
related equipment) is amended by
adding a new paragraph h.2 to control
equipment using techniques designed to
enable radio communications in the
same frequency channels on which colocated equipment specified by
5A001.h.1 is transmitting.
The Nota Bene (NB) is amended by
removing the phrase ‘‘ECCN 5A001.f
and,’’ because that reference now
appears in 5A001.h.1.
5A001.i is reserved and the items are
moved to 5A001.f.1, as explained above.
To harmonize with this move, seventeen

Category 5 Part 2—‘‘Information
Security’’
The Cryptography Note (Note 3 to
Category 5 Part 2 (Cat 5P2)) is changed
in two ways. It is reformatted in order
to add a new paragraph .b, and a new
Note to the Cryptography Note is added
to help industry better understand how
the existing ‘mass market’ provisions
and requirements of the Cryptography
Note (i.e., new paragraph a.) are applied.
Regarding the new paragraph b., this
new paragraph provides that ECCN
5A002 and 5D002 do not control certain
hardware components of existing items
described in paragraph a. of the Note.
While certain components of ‘‘mass
market’’ products described in
paragraph a. to Note 3 are themselves
sold or distributed through ‘‘mass
market’’ channels and are therefore
decontrolled under paragraph a., other
comparable components for ‘‘mass
market’’ items are not separately sold to
the public via retail channels. New
paragraph b. removes ECCN 5A002 and
5D002 controls from hardware
components that are factory-installed
into a mass marketed product, and from
functionally equivalent aftermarket
replacements of Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) components—
components that are identical in form,
fit and function to the OEM
components, with certain restrictions as
follows.
First, paragraph b. is limited to
hardware components for existing items
described in paragraph a. of Note 3 and
to hardware components that have been
designed for those existing items.
Paragraph b. does not apply to a
component that is designed for a brand
new type of item that has never been
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
sold before, or that has not previously
had cryptographic functionality.
Instead, the end-product must first be
established as a ‘mass market’ product
before its components may qualify for
paragraph b.
Second, paragraph b.1. excludes
components whose primary function or
set of functions is ‘‘information
security.’’ Therefore, cryptographic coprocessors, cryptographic libraries/
modules, Trusted Platform Modules
(TPMs), and components that provide
an open cryptographic interface are not
eligible for decontrol under paragraph b.
Third, paragraph b.2. excludes
components that could introduce new
cryptographic functionality or enhance
existing cryptographic functionality into
an array of products, if such
functionality does not already exist in
the ‘mass market.’ Components that
provide enhanced or additional
cryptographic functionality to an
existing ‘mass market’ product are not
decontrolled under paragraph b. This
exclusion applies to both ‘standard addon accessories’—additions to ‘mass
market’ products that impart new
features—and to ‘tailored add-on
accessories’—additions to ‘mass market’
products that transform the product into
a non-consumer type item (e.g., tailored
for network operators, security
operators, police/military/intelligence,
etc.)
Paragraph b.3 excludes components
that provide custom/substitute
cryptography or made-to-order
customizations (e.g., tailored form/fit/
function) but no algorithm changes. The
requirements set forth in Section
742.15(b) for mass market components
also apply to the hardware components
eligible for decontrol under new
paragraph b. to Note 3.
Paragraph b.4. states that details of the
component and end-item must be
available to BIS when necessary. BIS
does not intend to change the scope of
any of the reporting requirements under
License Exception ENC. In particular,
BIS does not intend to require exporters
to collect any more information on the
products that a component is going into
than is currently required under the
EAR.
In adding this new paragraph b. to the
Cryptography Note (Cat 5P2 Note 3) in
the existing provisions of Cat 5P2, Note
3 become new paragraph a.
In terms of how these existing ‘mass
market’ provisions are applied,
paragraph 1 of the new Note to the
Cryptography Note provides guidance
on what it means for an item to be
considered ‘mass market’ and ‘generally
available to the public’. This Note
paragraph 1 makes it clear that in order
E:\FR\FM\20JNR3.SGM
20JNR3
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 119 / Thursday, June 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES3
to meet the ‘mass market’ provisions of
Cat 5P2 Note 3 paragraph a., the item
must be of potential interest to a wide
range of individuals and businesses, and
potential customers do not need to
specifically consult with a vendor or
supplier to learn how much the item
costs or what its main functional
specifications are.
Paragraph 2. of the Note to the
Cryptography Note also makes clear that
in determining whether an item meets
the ‘mass market’ qualifications of Note
3 paragraph a., relevant factors such as
quantity, price, required technical skill,
existing sales channels, typical
customers, typical use, or any
exclusionary practices of the supplier
may be taken into account, in addition
to other possible considerations.
The purpose of this new Note to the
Cryptography Note is not to change the
existing scope of control of the
Cryptography Note, but to make current
practices of interpretation more clear to
the public.
Although the control text only
mentions hardware components, the
decontrol also applies to software
components that are specially designed
for a particular hardware component
that has already been released from
control.
For a component that meets new
paragraph b. of the Cryptography Note
3 in Category 5 Part 2 of the Commerce
Control List (Supplement No. 1 to part
774) that has previously been classified
under ECCN 5A002 pursuant to
§ 740.17(b)(3), a new classification by
BIS (i.e., a request for a CCATS) is not
required to make the component eligible
for mass market treatment under
§ 742.15(b)(3) and reclassified under
ECCN 5A992. However, a reclassified
component must be included in a selfclassification report submitted to BIS
and the ENC Encryption Request
Coordinator no later than February 1
following the calendar year in which it
is first exported or reexported as a mass
market item (see § 742.15(c) for
complete instructions on submitting
encryption self-classification reports).
5A002 (‘‘Information Security’’ Systems,
Equipment and Components Therefor)
The Related Controls paragraph in the
List of Items Controlled Section is
amended by redesignating paragraphs
(1) and (2) as (2) and (3), and adding a
new paragraph (1) to specify that
5A002.a controls ‘‘components’’
providing the means or functions
necessary for ‘‘information security.’’
All such ‘‘components’’ are
presumptively ‘‘specially designed’’ and
controlled within 5A002.a. Therefore,
no analysis of the definition of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:08 Jun 19, 2013
Jkt 229001
‘‘specially designed’’ is needed. BIS is
making this change to clarify that no
changes are made to how the U.S.
Government currently interprets the
scope of 5A002.a as a result of the
implementation of the newly revised
definition of ‘‘specially designed.’’
On June 19, 2012 (77 FR 36419), BIS
published the advanced notice of
proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) entitled
‘‘Feasibility of Enumerating ‘‘Specially
Designed’’ Components.’’ In that
ANPRM, BIS requested public
comments to identify where on the CCL
it was possible to replace the term
‘‘specially designed’’ with other control
criteria. Category 5, Part 2 was
identified by one commenter as a good
candidate for enumerating
‘‘components’’ that warrant control.
This commenter supported making
5A002.a into a positive list of
‘‘components’’ controlled for
‘‘information security.’’ The commenter
indicated 5A002 is already more of an
enumerated control versus a catch-all
control and therefore the term
‘‘specially designed’’ was not needed.
This new Note to paragraph a. is
responsive to that comment and also
consistent with the larger Export
Control Reform (ECR) Initiative
objective of making the CCL more
‘‘positive.’’
The addition of Note 1 to the Related
Controls paragraph of 5A002 does not
change the scope of the ECCN, but
rather is limited to adding an
explanatory note regarding the scope of
‘‘components’’ controlled under
5A002.a. Currently, the U.S.
Government is working on a regime
proposal to the Wassenaar Arrangement
that would replace the term ‘‘specially
designed’’ in 5A002.a with ‘‘providing
the means or functions necessary.’’ This
work is being undertaken by the U.S.
Government to better reflect the intent
of this control on ‘‘components’’ under
5A002.a and to better reflect how the
U.S. Government currently interprets
the scope of this control on
‘‘components’’ under 5A002.a.
The Note g. to the Items paragraph is
also amended by replacing the reference
to paragraphs .b to e. of the
Cryptography Note (Note 3 in Category
5—Part 2) with paragraphs a.2. to a.5. of
the Cryptography Note in order to
harmonize with the changes made to the
Cryptography Note.
The Note to the Items paragraph is
amended by adding the phrase ‘‘or not
exceeding 100 meters according to the
manufacturer’s specifications for
equipment that cannot interconnect
with more than seven devices’’ to the
end of paragraph i. to raise the range,
because there are many products on the
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
37377
market today that exceed this limitation.
This revision will only decontrol such
equipment that cannot interconnect
with more than seven (7) devices (e.g.,
Bluetooth). If a type of Wireless
Personal Area Network (WPAN)
equipment can interconnect with more
than seven devices, it continues to only
be released by 5A002 Note i. if its
nominal operating range does not
exceed 30 meters.
In addition, the definition of
‘‘personal area network,’’ found in Part
772 of the EAR, is updated to account
for this range increase in paragraph i. of
the Note.
5A002.a.1 is amended by adding the
phrase ‘‘or execution of copy-protected
‘‘software’’ to the exclusion list in
paragraph a.1, as well as Technical Note
1, to clarify that such items are still
excluded from control. Prior to June 25,
2010, products with cryptographic
functionality limited to copy protection
(and other digital rights management
(DRM) functionality) were originally
decontrolled by decontrol Note c. to
5A002. When Note 4 to Category 5, Part
2 (Cat 5P2) was implemented on June
25, 2010, paragraph c. of the decontrol
note to 5A002 was removed and a
pointer (Nota Bene) to Cat 5P2 Note 4
was added to make clear that this
decontrol was subsumed into Cat 5P2
Note 4. However, since then, exporters
have been confused about how copy
protection falls under Note 4. To make
it clear that copy protection is not
controlled in 5A002, this rule adds the
phrase ‘‘or execution of copy-protected
software’’ into the exclusion note. This
does not change the scope of what is
decontrolled, as Note 4 in Cat 5P2
remains unchanged and in full effect. By
application of Note 4 in Cat 5P2
(especially paragraph a.3, regarding
digital rights management (DRM)), copy
protection and other DRM functionality
is excluded from classification under
Cat 5P2, even if the copy protection
scheme (or other DRM) uses
‘‘cryptography.’’ Moreover, copy
protection functionality is not specified
for control in any CCL Category.
Accordingly, EAR99 software with
addition of cryptographic functionality
limited to copy protection remains
classified as EAR99.
A Note to 5A002.a.2 is added to
clarify that 5A002.a.2 includes systems
or equipment, designed or modified to
perform cryptanalysis by means of
reverse engineering.
5A002.a.7 (Non-cryptographic
information and communications
technology (ICT) security systems and
devices) is amended by replacing the
phrase ‘‘evaluated to an assurance level
exceeding’’ with ‘‘that have been
E:\FR\FM\20JNR3.SGM
20JNR3
37378
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 119 / Thursday, June 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
evaluated and certified by a national
authority to exceed’’ in order to clarify
that the intent is to control only those
items which have been evaluated
against the applicable criteria and have
subsequently received a certification
from a national security authority
attesting that the items exceed class
EAL–6 (evaluation assurance level) of
the Common Criteria (CC) or equivalent.
5A992 (Equipment not controlled by
5A002) is amended by adding a Note to
paragraph .b of the Items paragraph in
the List of Items Controlled section. The
Note is added to clarify that 5A992 does
not control products with cryptographic
functionality limited to copy protection.
5E002 (‘‘Technology’’) is amended by
adding a Note to clarify that ‘‘5E002
includes ‘‘information security’’
technical data resulting from procedures
carried out to evaluate or determine the
implementation of functions, features or
techniques specified in Category 5, Part
2’’. The purpose of this Note is to clarify
two things. First, that existing 5E002
controls on ‘‘technology’’ includes
‘‘information security’’ technical data
that may be revealed or conveyed by the
security evaluation of a product (e.g., for
government or commercial certification
purposes). Second, this Note is added to
clarify that reverse engineering can be
viewed as a form of product evaluation;
consequently, 5E002 includes reverse
engineering data and reports that detail
the implementation of controlled
‘‘information security’’ functions,
features or techniques by an item.

replacing ‘‘all’’ with ‘‘any’’ and
cascading the parameters in order to add
a new control for additional survey
equipment identified in 6A001.a.1.a.2.b.
Note that the parameters for the
previously controlled survey
equipment, now in 6A001.a.1.a.2.a,
remain unchanged.
6A001.a.1.a.2.b is added to control
underwater survey equipment not
specified by 6A001.a.1.a.2.a. A new
Technical Note is added that states
acoustic sensor pressure rating
determines the depth rating in
6A001.a.1.a.2. Additionally, the existing
Technical Note defining ‘sounding rate’
is modified to specify 100% coverage.
6A001.a.1.a.3 (Side Scan Sonar (SSS)

a.1.a.3.b and moving the ‘across track

a.1.a.3.b to new paragraph a.1.a.3.c.
Editorial revisions are made to the
Technical Notes as well.
6A002 (Optical Sensors or Equipment
And Components Therefor) is amended
by replacing the periods with semicolons at the end of paragraphs a.3.a.2.b,
a.3.b.2.b, a.3.g.3 and c.3 in the Items
paragraph of the List of Items Controlled
section to correct the punctuation. In
addition, 6A002.a.3.d.2.b is amended by
removing ‘‘(SPRITE),’’ because the
SPRITE is no longer in production and
the performance of the detector and the
sensors it was integrated into has been
surpassed by more modern Focal Plane
Array (FPA) developments. The word
‘‘detector’’ is added before element.
‘‘Element’’ is made plural. Capital
letters PR, I, T and E, are all replaced
by lower case letters.
6A005 (‘‘Lasers’’ (Other Than Those
Described in 0B001.g.5 or .h.6),
Components and Optical Equipment)
Paragraphs a.2, a.3, b.2, and b.3 in the
Items paragraph of the List of Items
Controlled are amended by replacing
‘‘520’’ with ‘‘510.’’ Frequency-doubled
Yb:YAG lasers using second harmonic
generation (SHG) emit green light at 515
nm. These lasers are increasingly being
used in commercial laser materials
processing, replacing Nd:YAG lasers.
Given the development of this
application, it was determined
appropriate to change the wavelength
from ‘‘520’’ to ‘‘510’’ in 6A005.a.3 and
6A005.b.3, to control Yb:YAG SHG
lasers at the same power level as
Nd:YAG SHG lasers. The change to a.2
and b.2 accounts for the shift in
wavelength in a.3 and b.3 so a gap in
control was not created. As a result of
this change the NP controls are
expanded to include 6A005.a.3 and all
of b.3, instead of just b.3.a. 6A005.a.3 is
added to paragraph (d) of the License
Requirements Note, which outlines NP
controls.
6A005.a.6.a (Non-‘‘tunable’’
continuous wave ‘‘(CW) lasers’’) is
amended by removing paragraphs
a.6.a.1 and a.6.a.2 to simplify the
control text. The output power control
level of 150 W is replaced with 200 W
to adjust for technical advancements.
6C004 (Optical Materials)
6C004.b (Electro-optic materials and
non-linear optical materials) and .c
(Non-linear optical materials, other than
those specified by 6C004.b) are
amended in order to control new
materials that can be used in military
applications. Advances in crystal
growth have facilitated the
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
manufacturing of additional non-linear
optical materials. The new citations
identify specific materials by name or
using the updated parameters under
6C004.c.3 and c.4 that can be fabricated
into non-linear optical components.
These non-linear crystals have recently
become useful due to advances in
manufacturing. They can now be grown
large enough and with low defects so
that they can be cut and polished into
optical components. The newly listed
materials are of interest because they
can operate at high optical powers that
cause other non-linear materials to
degrade.
6C005 (Synthetic crystalline ‘‘laser’’
host material in unfinished form) is
amended by removing 6C005.b
(Alexandrite) and reserving the
paragraph, because Alexandrite lasers
are tuneable from 700 to 800 nm and the
majority of applications for alexandrite
lasers are for dermatology and hair
removal.
Category 7—Navigation and Avionics
7A001 (Accelerometers) is amended
by replacing the ‘‘bias’’ ‘‘repeatability’’
of less (better) than 5,000 micro g with
1,250 micro g in paragraph a.2.a and
replacing the ‘‘scale factor’’
‘‘repeatability’’ of less (better) than
2,500 ppm with 1,250 ppm in paragraph
a.2.b, because improvements in
Microelectromechanical Systems
(MEMS) technology have led to
availability of equivalent performance
accelerometers in commercial products,
as well as widespread foreign
availability.
7D003 (‘‘Software’’)
The License Exception STA

removing the phrase ‘‘d.1 to d.4 or d.7’’
because these controls have been moved
to a new ECCN 7D004, and paragraph
7D003.d is removed and reserved by
this rule. Specifically, these controls are
moved to7D004.a to .g, with the
exception of 7D003.d.5 (Airborne
automatic direction finding equipment).
7D003.d.5 is removed and reserved as
reflected in the new paragraph 7D004.e,
because there was no reason for this
relatively rudimentary item to be
identified separately from other
navigation entries. Because the ‘‘source
code’’ in 7D003.d is already addressed
elsewhere more specifically, this entry
created a redundancy in controls and is
removed. For more details about the
redundancy see the preamble text for
7D004 below.
A Nota Bene (N.B.) is added to
reference the new location (7D004) for
the control of 7D003.d source code.

7D004 (‘‘Source code’’ incorporating
‘‘development’’ ‘‘technology’’ specified
by 7E004.a or 7E004.b) is added to the
CCL to control ‘‘source code’’ moved
from 7D003.d. Previously, two sets of
technology controls addressed the flight
controls topic. The first was 7E001, the
GTN-based ‘‘development’’ technology
controls relating to the 7D003 ‘‘source
code’’ entry. The second set of
technology controls are under 7E004.a
and 7E004.b, which enumerate specific
flight control technologies of concern.
The existence of both sets of controls
created an obviously undesirable
redundancy. However, it was
discovered that pertinent ‘‘source code’’
‘‘software’’ and ‘‘technology’’ was
removed from control by the WA
agreement, which the U.S. will address
with WA in future meetings to establish
appropriate multi-lateral national
security level controls. In the meantime,
‘‘source code’’ for the ‘‘development’’ of
fly-by-wire control systems is added to
0D521 No. 2. The following technology
is added to 0E521 No. 6: ‘‘Technology’’
for fly-by-wire control systems, as
follows: a. ‘‘Technology’’ according to
the General Technology Note for the
‘‘development’’ of ‘‘software’’ controlled
by 0D521 No. 2; or b. ‘‘Development’’
‘‘technology’’ for ‘‘active flight control
systems’’ for control law compensation
for sensor location or dynamic airframe
loads, i.e., compensation for sensor
vibration environment or for variation of
sensor location from the center of
gravity. (See Supplement No. 5 to part
774.) There is a pending rule that adds
technology to 0E521 Nos. 2–5, therefore
this rule reserves those paragraphs in
the table.
As described in the final rule that
established the 0Y521 series and that
was published in the Federal Register
on April 13, 2012 (77 FR 22191), items
are added to the 0Y521 series upon a
determination by the Department of
Commerce, with the concurrence of the
Departments of Defense and State, that
the items should be controlled for
export because the items provide at least
a significant military or intelligence
advantage to the United States or foreign
policy reasons justify control. The
‘‘source code’’ for the ‘‘development’’ of
fly-by-wire control systems in 0D521
No. 2 and the fly-by-wire technology in
0E521 No. 6 is controlled for regional
stability (RS) Column 1 reasons. ECCN
0D521 and 0E521 items are subject to a
nearly worldwide license requirement
(i.e., for every country except Canada)
with a case-by-case license review
policy, through regional stability (RS

technology for official use by personnel
and agencies of the U.S. Government.
If your fly-by-wire software or
technology was controlled by 7D003 or
7E001 and is now classified as 0D521
No. 2 or 0E521 No. 6, then you do not
need to replace your existing licenses or
classifications (CCATS), because it is
considered a ‘‘non-material’’ change
pursuant to Section 750.7(c)(1)(viii) of
the EAR. If you were going to request an
extension for licenses with these
ECCNs, you may still request extensions
of these licenses instead of replacing
them because of this ECCN change.
In order to maintain the more detailed
descriptions of the specific flight control
topics covered by 7E004.a and 7E004.b,
WA agreed to remove the 7E001
reference to flight control ‘‘source
code’’. This modification is
accomplished by moving 7D003.d to
7D004, and removing 7D004 from 7E001
coverage. Reference language is added
to the new 7D004 that points to the
technology controls in 7E004.a and
7E004.b, as well as 0D521 No. 2 and
0E521 No. 6 for fly-by-wire source code
and technology.
A new exclusion Note is added to
7D004 that states that ‘‘7D004 does not
apply to ‘‘source code’’ associated with
common computer elements and
utilities (e.g., input signal acquisition,
output signal transmission, computer
program and data loading, built-in test,
task scheduling mechanisms) not
providing a specific flight control
system function,’’ to clarify that the
scope of these entries is limited to flight
control system function.
7E001 (‘‘Technology’’ According to the
GTN for the ‘‘Development’’ of 7A, 7B
or 7D)
The Header is amended to specify the
three software ECCNs 7D001, 7D002,
and 7D003, in order to remove the new
7D004 from the scope of 7E001, which
was created to control flight control
‘‘source code’’ in one place instead of in
7D003 and 7E001. The Related Controls
paragraph is amended by adding a
reference to 0D521 No. 2 for ‘‘source
code’’ for the ‘‘development’’ of fly-bywire control systems and 0E521 No. 6
for ‘‘technology’’ for the ‘‘development’’
of fly-by-wire control systems. See
explanation for the creation of 0D521
No. 2 and 0E521 No. 6 under 7D004 in
the preamble of this rule.
7E004 (Other ‘‘technology’’)
The Related Controls paragraph in the
List of Items Controlled section is
amended to add references to 0D521 No.
2 (‘‘source code’’ for the ‘‘development’’
of fly-by-wire control systems), and
0E521 No. 6 (for ‘‘technology’’ for the

7E004.b (‘‘Development’’
‘‘technology’’, as specified, for ‘‘active
flight control systems’’ (including flyby-wire or fly-by-light)) is amended to
more specifically list photonic
technology of concern by providing
descriptions to positively identify the
critical photonic functions in a fly-bylight system.
7E004.b.1 is replaced, because the
technology for interconnecting multiple
microelectronic processing elements,
such as microprocessors, in order to
speed up processing is now widely
available. In addition, active flight
control solutions today can easily run in
real-time on a single processor.
7E004.b.1 now controls fly-by-light
technology. Photonics-based flight
control systems, or ‘‘fly-by-light’’, are in
development to provide a number of
system-level benefits, including
tolerance of elevated Electro-Magnetic
Interference (EMI) and reduced systems
volume and weight.
7E004.b.2 is removed and reserved,
because control law compensation
technology as described at the general
level is now widely available.
7E004.b.3 is revised, because the
former text for 7E004.b.3 dealt with
fault detection, isolation, tolerance, and
resolution (i.e., ‘‘reconfiguration’’). The
only technique implied by the text is
‘‘redundancy’’, which was too broad
and could encompass technology that is
widely understood and employed. The
revised 7E004.b.3 text updates the fault
detection and isolation aspects to a
more appropriate characterization of the
emerging technology for protectionpredictive diagnosis. This technology
can determine the onset of a future
failure for more preemptive mitigation
actions.
7E004.b.4 (‘‘active flight control
system’’ technology) is revised, because
it was outdated. The revised text links
the real-time identification of
component failures, and allows for
mitigation during degradations prior to
full failure. These linked 7E004.b.3 and
7E004.b.4 updates better represent the
emerging state-of-the-art technologies
with emphasis on preemption and
mitigation capabilities.
Note to 7E004.b.4 and Note to 7E004.b
are added and the Note to 7E004.b.3 is
revised to clarify that the scope of these
entries is limited to flight control system
function. The Note to 7E004.b.5 is
changed to conform to the WA text.
Category 9—Aerospace and Propulsion
9A001 (Aero gas turbine engines) is
amended by replacing the phrase
‘‘Participating State’’ with ‘‘Wassenaar

in the List of Items Controlled section,
because there is currently no definition
for this term in the EAR. However, it is
understood that it refers to members of
the Wassenaar Arrangement.
9A018 (Equipment on the Wassenaar
Arrangement Munitions List)
ECCN 9A018 is amended by revising
the List of Items Controlled section.
9A018.b is amended to implement the
WA agreements for 2012 to ML6 on the
WA Munitions List. Paragraph 9A018.b
is separated into two parts. 9A018.b.1
covers ground transport vehicles
(including trailers) and parts and
components therefor designed and
modified for non-combat military use.
9A018.b.2 is the modified portion of the
former 9A018.b, which covers other
ground vehicles. Also, a Note is added
to exclude vehicles for transporting
money or valuables. The revision
clarifies that ‘‘all-wheel drive’’ vehicles
have transmissions that supply drive to
the front and rear wheels
simultaneously even if the vehicle has
other wheels that provide no driving
force. The second change limits the
scope of the paragraph to vehicles with
a gross vehicle weight rating greater
than 4,500 kilograms. The third change
replaces the term ‘‘capable of off road
use’’ with the term ‘‘designed or
modified for off road use.’’ The fourth
change is that ‘‘components’’ are
separated out from the vehicles and
placed in 9A018.b.2 with parameters.

9E003 (Other ‘‘Technology’’)
9E003.a.5 (Cooled turbine blades,
vanes or ‘‘tip-shrouds’’) is amended by
increasing the gas path temperature
from 1643K (1370 °C) to 1693 K (1420
°C), because as the material
development for airfoils has reached a
steady state, increases in higher
‘‘combustor exit temperature’’ can only
come from advanced airfoil cooling.
Taking note of the higher combustor exit
temperature for 9E003.a.2 that was
implemented in 2012, it then follows to
increase the limiting temperatures for
cooled turbine blades, vanes and ‘‘tipshrouds’’ in 9E003.a.5.
A Technical Note is added to define
‘gas path temperature’ as this term is
used in the newly revised 9E003.a.5
parameter.
9E003.h.3 is amended by replacing
the period with a semi-colon.

Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 (the
Commerce Control List), Supplement
No. 2 ‘‘General Technology and
Software Notes’’
The ‘‘General Software Note’’ (GSN) is
amended by adding some provisions
that align with what WA Participating
States have already been doing. While
WA implements the GSN as a decontrol
note, the U.S. implements it as criteria
for License Exception TSU and a cross
reference to § 740.13 is included.
Additionally, paragraph 2 of the GSN
that refers to ‘‘in the public domain,’’ is
replaced with a reference to Section
734.3(b)(3) for regulations that set forth
provisions for ‘‘publicly available
technology and software.’’
Paragraph 3 of the GSN sets forth the
provision to cover minimum necessary
‘‘software’’ for the installation,
operation, maintenance (checking) or
repair of authorized equipment. It was
decided to add ‘‘object code’’ to make
sure that ‘‘source code’’ is not released
by the GSN. Also a Note was included
to clarify that the minimum necessary
‘‘object code’’ is not software that can
enhance or improve the performance of
an item or provide new features or
functionality. The GSN does not apply
to ‘‘software’’ controlled by Category 5
Part 2 ‘‘Information Security,’’ instead a
similar note addresses such ‘‘software’’
in Note 3 to Category 5 Part 2
‘‘Cryptography Note.’’
Supplement No. 5 to Part 774 (Items
Classified Under ECCNS 0A521, 0B521,
0C521, 0D521 AND 0E521)
This rule revises section 0D521 and
0E521 of Supplement No. 5 to part 774
to add two new entries 0D521 No. 2 and
0E521 No. 6. The explanation for these
additions is found under 7D004 in the
preamble of this rule.
Supplement No. 1 to § 740.11
(Additional restrictions on use of license
Exception GOV) is amended by
removing the phrase ‘‘radio frequency
(RF) transmitting equipment’’ and
adding in its place ‘‘Counter Improvised
Explosive Device (IED) equipment and
related equipment’’ in two places in
paragraph (a)(1)(vii)(C) and in two
places in paragraph (b)(1)(vii)(C),
because the scope of 5A001.h is
expanded to control more equipment.
Part 742 (Control Policy—CCL Based
Controls)
Section 742.15 (Encryption Items) is
amended by revising paragraph (d). This
rule adds paragraph (d)(2) to grandfather
classification requests and encryption
registrations submitted after June 15,
2010 for components that received a
classification of 5X002 § 742.17(b)(3)

and that meet the newly added
paragraph (b) of the Cryptography Note
3 in Category 5 Part 2 of the Commerce
Control List in Supplement No. 1 to part
774, if you include these components in
your self-classification report.
Part 743
Special Reporting
WA has three levels of controls as
reflected in its Basic List (BL), Sensitive
List (SL), and Very Sensitive List (VSL).
BIS makes certain items on the WA BL
and SL eligible for license exceptions.
Because of the U.S. obligations under its
agreements to the WA, the United States
must report on SL items exported
outside of the WA membership
countries. BIS does this by gathering
data from its licensing database. To
collect data on exports made under
license exceptions, BIS requires WA
reporting on SL items exported
(excluding deemed exports) under
License Exceptions GBS, CIV, TSR, LVS,
APP, STA, and portions of GOV. As a
result of WA making changes to its SL,
this rule makes corresponding changes
to the reporting requirements of section
743.1 of the EAR.
The Note to Section 743.1(c)(1)(ii) is
simplified by combining the list of
software and technology that require
WA reporting under ECCNs 2D001,
2E001 and 2E002, as well as
harmonizing these requirements with
the changes made to the WA Sensitive
List.
Part 770
Interpretations
Section 770.2 is amended by revising
paragraph (h) ‘‘Ground Vehicles’’ to
harmonize with changes WA made to
ML 6. WA changed ML 6 to clarify the
scope of ML 6 by adding three specific
parameter paragraphs to distinguish
military vehicles from commercial
vehicles used for security.
§ 772.1 Definitions of Terms as Used
in the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR)
The definition for ‘‘diffusion
bonding’’ is amended by removing the
word ‘‘molecular’’, replacing the phrase
‘‘two separate metals’’ with ‘‘two
separate pieces of metals’’, and adding
a phrase ‘‘wherein the principal
mechanism is interdiffusion of atoms
across the interface’’ to the end of the
definition. It was inappropriate to use
the term ‘‘molecular’’ in describing
metallic bonds, because molecules do
not exist in solid-state metals. In
addition, to achieve diffusion bonding,
interdiffusion of at least two separate
atoms of metals across the interface
must occur. Then, through the diffusion
bonding, the atoms are joined into

diffusion bonded metals (metallic
bonds).
The definition for ‘‘dynamic signal
analyzers’’ is removed from § 772.1. The
existing controls on Dynamic Signal
Analyzers are commonly interpreted to
require both phase and amplitude at the
output. By deleting the concept of
‘‘Dynamic Signal Analyzer’’ and
replacing it with ‘‘Signal Analyzer’’ the
requirement that both phase and
amplitude be in the output is removed.
The definition for ‘‘frequency mask
trigger’’ is added to define pulse
equipment (3A002.c.5) that allows the
detection and processing of unknown
short duration, transient, sporadic, and
burst RF signals.
The definition for ‘‘object code’’ is
amended by replacing ‘‘(Cat 9)’’ with
‘‘(GSN)’’ because this term is not used
in Cat 9 and it is now used in the
General Software Note to make sure that
the GSN only covers object code and not
source code.
The definition for ‘‘personal area
network’’ is amended by adding the
phrase ‘‘and their nearby surrounding
spaces’’ to harmonize with the range
increase included in the 5A002
exclusion Note .i limits (not exceeding
100 meters).
The definition for ‘‘real-time
bandwidth’’ is revised to better define
the concept of gap-free analysis of the
input data, and to assure that the scope
of control remains focused on what
‘‘signal analyzers’’ was intended to
control.
The definition for ‘‘space-qualified’’ is
amended by removing the reference to
Cat 8, because Cat 8 no longer has
‘‘space-qualified’’ equipment. The
revision of the text was to clarify the
definition and close a loophole.
The definition for ‘‘substrate blanks’’
is amended by replacing ‘‘Cat 6’’ with
‘‘Cat 3 and 6,’’ because this term is now
used in 3B001.h.1 to control multi-layer
masks with a phase shift layer.
Export Administration Act
Since August 21, 2001, the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as
amended, has been in lapse. However,
the President, through Executive Order
13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001
Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by
Executive Order 13637 of March 8,

Saving Clause
Shipments of items removed from
license exception eligibility or eligibility
for export without a license as a result
of this regulatory action that were on
dock for loading, on lighter, laden
aboard an exporting carrier, or en route
aboard a carrier to a port of export, on
June 20, 2013, pursuant to actual orders
for export to a foreign destination, may
proceed to that destination under the
previous license exception eligibility or
without a license so long as they have
been exported from the United States
before August 19, 2013. Any such items
not actually exported before midnight,
on August 19, 2013, require a license in
accordance with this regulation.
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 designated to be a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ although not
economically significant, under
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly,
the rule has been reviewed by the Office
of Management and Budget.
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
involves two collections of information
subject to the PRA. One of the
collections has been approved by OMB
under control number 0694–0088,
‘‘Multi-Purpose Application,’’ and
carries a burden hour estimate of 58
minutes for a manual or electronic
submission. The other of the collections
has been approved by OMB under
control number 0694–0106, ‘‘Reporting
and Recordkeeping Requirements under
the Wassenaar Arrangement,’’ and
carries a burden hour estimate of 21
minutes for a manual or electronic
submission. Send comments regarding
PO 00000

these burden estimates or any other
aspect of these collections of
information, including suggestions for
reducing the burden, to OMB Desk
Officer, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, DC 20503; and to Jasmeet
Seehra, OMB Desk Officer, by email at
Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.eop.gov or by
fax to (202) 395–7285; and to the Office
of Administration, Bureau of Industry
and Security, Department of Commerce,
14th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW.,
Room 6622, 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 (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed
rulemaking, the opportunity for public
participation, and a 30-day 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)). Immediate
implementation of these amendments
fulfills the United States’ international
obligation to the Wassenaar
Arrangement on Export Controls for
Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods
and Technologies. The Wassenaar
Arrangement contributes to
international security and regional
stability by promoting greater
responsibility in transfers of
conventional arms and dual use goods
and technologies, thus preventing
destabilizing accumulations of such
items. The Wassenaar Arrangement
consists of 41 member countries that act
on a consensus basis and the changes
set forth in this rule implement
agreements reached at the December
2012 plenary session of the WA.
Because the United States is a
significant exporter of the items in this
rule, implementation of this provision is
necessary for the WA to achieve its
purpose. Any delay in implementation
will create a disruption in the
movement of affected items globally
because of disharmony between export
control measures implemented by WA
members, resulting in tension between
member countries. Export controls work
best when all countries implement the
same export controls in a timely
manner. If this rulemaking were delayed
to allow for notice and comment and a
30-day delay in effectiveness, it would
prevent the United States from fulfilling
its commitment to the WA in a timely
manner and would injure the credibility
of the United States in this and other
multilateral regimes.
Further, no other law requires that a
notice of proposed rulemaking and an
opportunity for public comment be

37382
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 119 / Thursday, June 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
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
Sharron Cook, Office of Exporter
Services, Bureau of Industry and
Security, Department of Commerce,

(a) License requirement. (1) In support
of U.S. foreign policy to prohibit the
export of items that may be used for the
surreptitious interception of wire, oral,
or electronic communications, a license
is required for all destinations,
including Canada, for ECCNs having an

Wassenaar Arrangement 2012 Plenary Agreements Implementation:
Commerce Control List, Definitions, and Reports
AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains, as part
of its Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Commerce Control
List (CCL), which identifies certain of the items subject to Department
of Commerce jurisdiction. This final rule revises the CCL to implement
changes made to the Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual-Use Goods and
Technologies (Wassenaar List) maintained and agreed to by governments
participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for
Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar
Arrangement, or WA) at the December 2012 WA Plenary Meeting (the
Plenary). The Wassenaar Arrangement advocates implementation of
effective export controls on strategic items with the objective of
improving regional and international security and stability. This rule
harmonizes the CCL with the changes made to the WA List at the Plenary
by revising ECCNs controlled for national security reasons in each
category of the CCL, except category 8, as well as amending the General
Software Note, WA reporting requirements, and definitions section in
the EAR. BIS is adding unilateral controls to the CCL for specific
software and technology for aviation control systems, which the WA
agreements removed from the WA List, i.e., EAR national security
controls.
DATES: This rule is effective: June 20, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) on Export Controls for Conventional
Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies is a group of 41 like-minded
states committed to promoting responsibility and transparency in the
global arms trade, and preventing destabilizing accumulations of arms.
As a Participating State, the United States has committed to
controlling for export all items on the WA control lists. The lists
were first established in 1996 and have been revised annually
thereafter. Proposals for changes to the WA control lists that achieve
consensus are approved by Participating States at annual December
Plenary meetings. Participating States are charged with implementing
the agreed list changes as soon as possible after approval.
Implementation of WA list changes ensures U.S. companies have a level
playing field with their competitors in other WA member states.
Revisions to the Commerce Control List
Out of the 37 Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs)
included in this rule, the following 28 ECCNs on the Commerce Control
List (CCL) are revised to implement the changes to the Wassenaar List
of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies agreed to at the December 2012 WA
Plenary meeting: ECCNs 1A004, 1C001, 2B001, 2B006, 2D001, 2D002, 3A001,
3A002, 3B001, 3C002, 4D001, 5A001, 5B001, 5E001, 5A002, 5E002, 6A001,
6A002, 6A005, 6C004, 6C005, 7A001, 7D003, 7E001, 7E004, 9A001, 9A018
and 9E003; and the following two (2) ECCNs, 2D003 and 7D004, are added
to the CCL to implement the changes to the Wassenaar List of Dual-Use
Goods and Technologies agreed to at the December 2012 WA Plenary
meeting.
Corresponding changes related to the movement of 5A001.i to
5A001.f.1 are made to ECCNs 5A980, 5D001, 5D980, 5E001and 5E980.
This rule also makes additions to 0D521 and 0E521 for ``source
code'' for the ``development'' of fly-by-wire control systems and
``technology'' for fly-by-wire control systems, see 7D004 for
explanation.
Category 1 Special Materials and Related Equipment, Chemicals,
``Microorganisms,'' and ``Toxins''
1A004 (Protective and Detection Equipment and Components)
In the introductory paragraph .a of the Items paragraph in the List
of Items Controlled section, ``Gas masks'' is replaced by ``Full face
masks'' and a Technical Note is added to explain that ``for the purpose
of 1A004.a, full face masks are also known as gas masks.'' The masks
controlled in 1A004.a protect against more than just gases and the term
gas masks has been replaced by full face masks in manufacture data
sheets. This change in terminology does not change the scope of the
control.
In the Note at the end of the Items paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section, paragraph .b is amended by replacing ``Equipment''
with ``Occupational health or safety equipment'' to clarify the scope
of the exclusion Note.
1C001 (Materials Specially Designed for Use as Absorbers of
Electromagnetic Waves, or Intrinsically Conductive Polymers)
Paragraph 1C001.b (Piezoelectric polymers and copolymers) of the
Items paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section is amended by
adding an exclusion Note for materials, specially designed or
formulated for laser marking of polymers; or laser welding of polymers,
because these materials are not used in military applications.
Paragraph 1C001.c (Seals, gaskets, valve seats, bladders or
diaphragms) of the Items paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section is amended by adding an exclusion Note for 1C001.c materials in
liquid form, because the liquid form is not used in military
applications but is used in commercial applications to make a
transparent conductive layer. It is also used, for example, in the
liquid crystal panel of televisions, personal computers, and other such
commercial commodities.
Category 2--Materials Processing
2B001 (Machine Tools)
The Header is amended to remove the phrase ``and specially designed
components'' to harmonize with the changes to 2B001.f.
The Unit paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section is
amended by removing the phrase ``components in $ value'' to harmonize
with the changes in 2B001.f. Amendments to the Items
[[Page 37373]]
paragraph of the List of Items controlled section in 2B001 are as
follows.
The exclusion Note 2 to 2B001 is amended by correcting the spelling
of jewelry in paragraph .d and adding paragraph .e for dental
prostheses.
2B001.a (Machine tools for turning) is amended by revising the
positioning accuracy in 2B001.a.1 from 4.5 [micro]m to 3.0 [micro]m and
moving the phrase ``according to ISO 230/2 (2006)'' within that
paragraph, and adding the phrase ``or national equivalents'' to
harmonize with WA agreed text.
2B001.b (Machine tools for milling) is amended by revising the
positioning accuracy in 2B001.b.1.a from 4.5 [micro]m to 3.0 [micro]m
and moving the phrase ``according to ISO 230/2 (2006)'' within that
paragraph, and adding the phrase ``or national equivalents'' to
harmonize with WA agreed text.
2B001.b.2 (Five or more axes machine tools for milling) is amended
by adding three paragraphs b.2.a, b.2.b and b.2.c with combinations of
positioning accuracy and travel length parameters: equal to or less
than 3.0 [micro]m/less than 1m, equal to or less than 4.5 [micro]m/
greater than 1m and less than 2 m, and equal to or less than 4.5 +
7x(L-2) [micro]m (L is the travel length in meters)/equal to or greater
than 2m, respectively. In addition, this rule moves the phrase
``according to ISO 230/2 (2006)'' within b.2.b and b.2.c, and adds the
phrase ``or national equivalents'' to harmonize with WA agreed text. A
Note is added after b.2 to point people to 2B001.b.2.d for parallel
mechanism machine tools.
2B001.b.2.d is added to clarify that 2B001 controls five or more
axes machine tools for milling that are also `parallel mechanism
machine tools.' A Technical Note accompanying this paragraph explains
that a `parallel mechanism machine tool' is a machine tool having
multiple rods, which are linked with a platform and actuators; each of
the actuators operates the respective rod simultaneously and
independently.
2B001.b.3 is amended by moving the phrase ``according to ISO 230/
2(2006)'' in this paragraph and replacing ``along any linear axis''
with ``along one or more linear axis'' to clarify the control text.
This rule also adds the phrase ``or national equivalents'' to harmonize
with WA agreed text.
2B001.b.4.b is amended by replacing the period with a semi-colon to
correct the punctuation.
2B001.f (Deep-hole-drilling machines and turning machines) is
amended by removing the phrase ``and specially designed components
therefor,'' because components for these machines are general and not
specially designed.
2B006 (Dimensional Inspection or Measuring Systems, Equipment, and
``Electronic Assemblies'')
2B006.b.1 (`Linear displacement' measuring instruments) is amended
by adding a Note to reference 2B006.b.1.c for controls on displacement
measuring ``laser'' interferometers.
2B006.c (Equipment for measuring surface roughness (including
surface defects)) is amended by replacing ``irregularities'' with
``roughness (including surface defects)'' and removing the phrase ``as
a function of angle.'' This change will clarify the scope of controls
to integrate some of the expanded abilities of measuring equipment.
2D001 (``Software'' for ``Development'' and ``Production'' for Listed
Category 2 Equipment)
The Header is simplified, because a more detailed description of
controlled software is now in the Items paragraph of the List of Items
Controlled section.
The Items paragraph is amended by adding two paragraphs that split
the controls that were previously in the Header, which separates
``use'' from ``development'' or ``production'' software in order to
move 2B002 ``use'' software from 2D001 to the new 2D003. Paragraph .a
controls ``development'' or ``production'' of equipment controlled by
2A001 or 2B001 to 2B009. Paragraph .b narrows the scope for ``use'' to
equipment specified by 2A001.c, 2B001, or 2B003 to 2B009, which
excludes most of 2A001 and all of 2B002 (Numerically controlled optical
finishing machine tools equipped for selective material removal * *
*.).
A Note is added to exclude ``part programming ``software'' that
generates ``numerical control'' codes for machining various parts''
from 2D001 controls, because this software cannot directly operate the
Computer Numeric Controller (CNC) equipment.
2D002 (``Software'' for Electronic Devices, Even When Residing in an
Electronic Device or System, Enabling Such Devices or Systems To
Function as a ``Numerical Control'' Unit, Capable of Coordinating
Simultaneously More Than 4 Axes for ``Contouring Control'')
Note 1 is amended by replacing the word ``controlled'' with
``specified'' to harmonize with the WA list and clarify the meaning of
the Note.
Note 2 is amended by replacing the word ``controlled'' with
``specified'' in two places to harmonize with the WA list and clarify
the meaning of the Note. Also, a reference to 2D003 is added.
Note 3 is added to exclude ``software'' for the minimum necessary
operation of machine tools not specified by Category 2 when such
``software'' is exported with the machine tools.
2D003 (``Software'', Designed or Modified for the Operation Of
Equipment Specified by 2B002, That Converts Optical Design, Workpiece
Measurements and Material Removal Functions Into ``Numerical Control''
Commands To Achieve the Desired Workpiece Form)
ECCN 2D003 is added to control the ``use'' software for 2B002
optical finishing machines, which is critical to the function of 2B002
machines. This ECCN is controlled for national security (NS2) and for
anti-terrorism (AT1--Cuba, Iran, N. Korea, Syria and Sudan) reasons;
see Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR. License Exception TSR is
available to countries in Country Group B (see Supp. No. 1 to Part
740), see Sec. 740.6 of the EAR.
Category 3--Electronics
3A001 (Electronic Components and Specially Designed Components
Therefor) and 3A002 (General Purpose Electronic Equipment and
Accessories Therefor)
3A001.a.7 (Field programmable logic devices) is amended by this
rule. Paragraph a.7.a is revised by replacing ``digital input/outputs''
with ``single-ended digital input/outputs,'' which narrows the scope of
control. The level of control is amended by revising the maximum number
of single-ended digital input/outputs from ``greater than 200'' to
``500 or greater'' to reflect the advances made in recent years to
Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices and to remove controls on
older devices.
Paragraph a.7.b parameter ``system gate count'' is changed to ``an
`aggregate one-way peak serial transceiver data rate' or 200 Gb/s or
greater'' to remove the arbitrary and problematic metric of system
gates as a control parameter and replace it with a more modern and
meaningful metric for FPGAs with embedded transceiver circuitry.
A Technical Note is added to define `Aggregate one-way peak serial
transceiver data rate,' which is the product of the peak serial one-way
transceiver data rate times the number of transceivers on the FPGA.
3A001.b.2 (Microwave ``Monolithic Integrated Circuits'' (MMIC)
power amplifiers) is amended by adding -70 dBm as an equivalent output
power parameter to 0.1 nW in paragraph b.2.d, for consistency.
The frequency of 37.5 is changed to 37 GHz in paragraphs b.2.d and
b.2.e.
[[Page 37374]]
For many years, controls on microwave components have used 37.5 GHz as
the frequency breakpoint between military and civilian applications. In
fact, the proper breakpoint is 37 GHz, as per the ETSI EN 300 197
standard.
Paragraph b.2.e is amended by removing the fractional bandwidth
parameter, because a fractional bandwidth as large as 10%, within a
band that is only 16% wide, is illogical. To compensate, this rule
increases the output power parameter from 0.25 W (24 dBm) to 1.0 W (30
dBm) to align with state-of-the-art output power in this frequency
range.
Paragraph b.2.f is amended by adding a ceiling to the operation
frequency of 75 GHz, which is the top of the V band to align with
waveguide bands. The average output power parameter is raised from 0.1
nW to 31.62 mW (15 dBm) with a ``fractional bandwidth'' greater than
10%, which aligns with the 15 dBm output power control threshold for
network analyzers in 3A002.e.1.
Two new parameter paragraphs are added for MMIC power amplifiers
controlled under b.2.g and b.2.h to add two new frequency ranges to
align with the 90 GHz top of the E band-WR-12 waveguide upper limit.
Paragraph b.2.g controls MMIC power amplifiers rated for operation at
frequencies exceeding 75 GHz up to and including 90 GHz with an average
output power greater than 10 mW (10 dBm) with a ``fractional
bandwidth'' greater than 5%. Paragraph b.2.h controls MMIC power
amplifiers rated for operation at frequencies exceeding 90 GHz and with
an average output power greater than 0.1 nW (-70 dBm).
3A001.b.4 (Microwave solid state amplifiers and microwave
assemblies/modules containing microwave solid state amplifiers) is
amended by adding ``either'' to paragraph b.4.f.3 to eliminate an
ambiguity in the current text. The Technical Note below this paragraph
is corrected to harmonize with the WA list. Note 3 is added to clarify
that 3A001.b.4 includes transmit/receive modules and transmit modules.
3A001.b.10 (Oscillators or oscillator assemblies) and 3A002.d.4
(signal generators) are amended by replacing the word ``for'' with
``anywhere within the range of'' in b.10.a, b.10.b, 3A002.d.4.a and
d.4.b to clarify that oscillators or oscillator assemblies and signal
generators, respectively, are controlled if it meets the parameters at
any point within the selected ranges.
3A001.b.11 (``Frequency synthesizer'' ``electronic assemblies'') is
amended by revising the ``frequency switching time'' in paragraph
b.11.a from 312 ps to 156 ps. The frequency switching time threshold of
3A001.b.11.a is the inverse of the lower frequency control threshold
(current, 312 ps = 1/3.2 GHz). The new threshold is 156 ps = 1/6.4 GHz.
This would retain control on Digital to Analog Converter (DAC)-based
synthesizer assemblies having sample rate exceeding 16 GSa/s (frequency
is calculated by dividing sample rate by 2.5).
Paragraphs 3A001.b.11.b and 3A002.d.3.b are amended by revising the
low-frequency threshold from 3.2 GHz to 4.8 GHz to accommodate the
802.11ac (Very High Throughput--VHT) amendment. The 802.11ac standard
uses wider bandwidths for higher throughputs and data rates to address
several uses, including wireless displays for in-home distribution of
High Definition Television (HDTV).
Paragraphs 3A001.b.11.f, b.11.g, 3A002.c.2, c.3, d.1, d.2, d.3.f,
d.4.a, d.4.b, d.5, e.1, and e.2, are amended by raising the high-
frequency limit from 70 GHz to 75 GHz, which corresponds to the top of
the V-band (waveguide). Aligning the specified frequency to standard
waveguide frequency breakpoints makes this parameter more relevant to
national security concerns.
3A002.c.4 is amended by revising the Heading from ``Dynamic signal
analyzers'' to ``Signal analyzers'' and cascading the control
parameters to clarify the controls.
Paragraph c.4.a is amended by removing ``a'' and revising the
``real-time bandwidth'' from ``40 MHz'' to ``85 MHz'' to update the
control level. The definition for ``real-time bandwidth'' is also
updated in Part 772 of the EAR to better define the concept of gap-free
analysis of the input data, and to assure that the scope of control
remains specific and focused, which is also the reason for adding
paragraph c.4.b that adds a gap and windowing effect aspect to the
control.
The Note to 3A002.c.4 is amended by changing ``dynamic signal
analyzers'' to ``signal analyzers'' for clarity.
Technical Notes are added for 3A002.c.4.b to explain probability of
discovery, also known as probability of intercept or probability of
capture.
3A002.c.5 is added to add a new control parameter for ``frequency
mask trigger,'' which provides the capability to capture sporadic
transient RF signals within other closely spaced RF signals. A
definition for ``frequency mask trigger'' is added to Part 772 in
relation to this new paragraph.
3A002.d.3.a (``frequency switching time'' less than 312 ps) is
removed as a parameter for frequency synthesized signal generators,
because extension of the 802.11 standard for consumer wireless products
in the frequency range 5-6 GHz has rendered the existing control
threshold obsolete.
3A002.e (Network analyzers) is amended by adding ``An'' to the
beginning of paragraph e.1 for consistency and correct grammar. This
rule also removes the ``or'' at the end of the paragraph, because two
additional paragraphs are added to cover frequency ranges up to 110
GHz. This change makes it clear that 110 GHz is the normal max
frequency for 1.00 mm coaxial microwave connectors. A Technical Note is
also added to define `Nonlinear vector measurement functionality,'
which is a term used in paragraph e.3. Paragraph e.4 (former paragraph
e.2) is amended by revising the maximum operating frequency from 70 GHz
to 110 GHz.
3A002.f (Microwave test receivers) is amended by revising the
maximum frequency control threshold of 3A002.f .1 from 70 GHz to 110
GHz, to align with 3A002.e, because of the similarity between 3A002.e
network analyzers and 3A002.f microwave test receivers.
3B001 (Equipment for the Manufacturing of Semiconductor Devices or
Materials)
3B001.a.2 (Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD)
reactors) is amended by simplifying the control text to clarify that
MOCVD systems used to produce nitride based devices are within the
scope of control.
3B001.b (Equipment designed for ion implantation) is amended by
removing and reserving paragraph b.1 (beam energy (accelerating votage)
exceeding 1 MeV), which controlled ion implant systems used for the
manufacture of memory integrated circuits (Example: FLASH NAND). This
technology is ubiquitous and equivalent tools are readily obtained
globally.
Paragraph b.2 is amended by raising the beam energy parameter and
specification of the implant materials, which assures only equipment
used in the production of radiation hardened ICs is captured.
Paragraphs b.3 and b.4 are amended by moving the ``or'' from the
end of b.3 to the end of b.4, because a new paragraph b.5 is added.
Paragraph b.5 is added to control equipment using channeled silicon
ion beams in heated equipment.
3A001.h (Multi-layer masks with phase shift layer not specified by
3B001.g) is amended by adding two new parameters. Paragraph h.1
specifies glass birefringence of the mask (less than 7 nm/cm), which
delineates phase shift masks that are used for defining geometries
consistent with the
[[Page 37375]]
lithography control. Paragraph h.2 specifies the light source
wavelength of the lithography equipment (less than 245 nm), to control
only phase shift masks that are consistent with the lithography control
of 245nm wavelength source. This revision will control phase shift
masks that are used for emerging Extreme Ultra-Violet (EUV)
lithography. The addition of the phrase ``not specified by 3B001.g'' to
the introductory text in 3A001.h resolves the possible ``double
coverage'' between 3B001.g and 3B001.h.
3C002 (Resist Materials and ``Substrates'' Coated With Specified
Resists)
License Exceptions GBS and CIV paragraphs are revised to read,
``Yes for 3C002.a provided they are not also controlled by 3C002.b
through .e'', to be more accurate and concise.
Paragraph 3C002.a (Resists designed for semiconductor lithography)
is amended by cascading the parameter paragraphs and adding a new
paragraph a.2. Paragraph a.1 now controls positive resists adjusted
(optimized) for use at wavelengths equal to or greater than 15 nm, but
less than 245 nm. Paragraph a.2 controls resists adjusted (optimized)
for use at wavelengths greater than 1 nm, but less than 15 nm. These
revisions are made to be more specific about the controls.
Paragraph 3C002.c (All resists designed for use with X-rays, with a
sensitivity of 2.5 J/mm\2\ or better) is removed and reserved, because
these resists are not used for the fabrication of semiconductor
devices.
Paragraph 3C002.d (All resists optimized for surface imaging
technologies) is amended by removing the reference to silylated
resists, as well as the definition for silylation techniques in the
Related Definition paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section,
because it was determined that it is not necessary to specifically call
out silylated resists.
Category 4--Computers
4D001 ``Software''
4D001.a is amended by deleting the term ``use,'' because no ``use''
software of concern could be identified for this entry, and by removing
4A002 from the scope of control, because it was removed in 2004.
Category 5 Part 1--``Telecommunications''
5A001 (Telecommunications Systems, Equipment, Components and
Accessories)
The License Requirement section is amended by removing 5A001.i from
NS2 and SL controls, because items previously controlled under
paragraph .i are moved to paragraph .f.1 Paragraph .f.1 is already
controlled under NS2. Paragraph f.1 is added to the SL control
paragraph.
The License Requirement Notes paragraph is amended by replacing the
reference to 5A001.i with 5A001.f.1.
License Exception LVS eligibility paragraph is amended by revising
reference to paragraph .f to read f.2, f.3, f.4 in order to narrow the
scope, because the interception equipment in 5A001.f.1 is too sensitive
to receive License Exception LVS eligibility.
5A001.f (Mobile telecommunications jamming equipment) is amended by
adding ``interception or'' in order to expand the scope of control to
all mobile telecommunications jamming and interception equipment that
is of national security concern, as well as equipment that monitors the
network to detect jamming and interception that is of national security
concern. 5A001.i was combined with the former 5A001.f as a
clarification because interception and jamming are often interrelated
functions. 5A001.f.1 (Interception equipment designed for the
extraction of voice or data, transmitted over the air interface) is
moved from 5A001.i and license requirements are not changed.
5A001.f.2 (interception equipment not specified in 5A001.f.1) is
designed to control equipment that captures and processes the air
interface (e.g., the air link between a handset and a base station,
over which voice/data and metadata are transmitted) in order to extract
client device or subscriber indicators (such as IMSI, TIMSI, IMEI),
signalling or other metadata contained therein, but not without also
processing the voice or data channels contained therein. Licenses are
required for countries listed in NS2 and AT1 of the Commerce Country
Chart in Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR.
5A001.f.3 (Jamming equipment) was the former 5A001.f and license
requirements are not changed.
5A001.f.4 (Radio Frequency (RF) monitoring equipment designed or
modified to identify the operation of items specified in 5A001.f.1,
f.2, or f.3) is added to control passive counter surveillance tools.
Licenses are required for countries listed in NS2 and AT1 of the
Commerce Country Chart in Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR.
Regarding certain types of equipment that are not controlled by
5A001.f, the term `interception equipment' excludes equipment used to
operate or test the network (e.g., devices which measure signal
strength, and do not require the signal's contents to be decoded,
demodulated, or recorded, are not considered `interception equipment'),
and also readily available radio monitoring equipment for analog
communications found in, for example, taxi-cab radios and home police
scanners. The Note is amended to also generally exclude equipment
designed for mobile telecommunications network operators, designed for
the ``development'' or ``production of mobile telecommunications
equipment or systems, or specially designed for the interception of
analog Private Mobile Radio (PMR), IEEE 802.11 WLAN.
Nota Bene (NB) 1 is amended by removing the text ``For GNSS jamming
equipment,'' and adding the text ``For items specified by 5A001.f.1
(including as previously specified by 5A001.i), see also 5A980 and U.S.
Munitions List (22 CFR 121)'', because 5A001.f is expanded and there
may be some related equipment in the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR Parts 120-130) that should be considered
when classifying this type of equipment.
A Nota Bene (NB) 2 is added to reference 5A001.b.5 for radio
receivers in order to clarify that 5A001.f does not apply to radio
receivers.
5A001.h (Counter Improvised Explosive Device (IED) equipment and
related equipment) is amended by adding a new paragraph h.2 to control
equipment using techniques designed to enable radio communications in
the same frequency channels on which co-located equipment specified by
5A001.h.1 is transmitting.
The Nota Bene (NB) is amended by removing the phrase ``ECCN 5A001.f
and,'' because that reference now appears in 5A001.h.1.
5A001.i is reserved and the items are moved to 5A001.f.1, as
explained above. To harmonize with this move, seventeen (17) references
to 5A001.i are changed to 5A001.f.1 in Sec. 738.3(a)(1) (Commerce
Country Chart structure--ECCNs that require a license to all
destinations), six (6) references are changed in Sec. 740.2(a)(3)
(Restrictions on all license exceptions), five (5) references are
changed in Sec. 742.13 (a)(1) (License requirements for communications
intercepting devices * * *), six (6) references are changed in Sec.
746.7(a)(1) (Iran license requirements), and six (6)
[[Page 37376]]
references are changed in Sec. 752.3(a)(7) (Special Comprehensive
License ineligible items).
The Nota Bene (NB) of 5A001.i is amended to reference 5A001.f.1 for
items previously specified by 5A001.i.
5A980 (Devices primarily useful for the surreptitious interception
of wire, oral, or electronic communications) is amended to replace the
reference to 5A001.i with 5A001.f.1 in the Heading and the Related
Controls paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section. The
structure of the List of Items Controlled section is corrected by
adding the Unit paragraph, adding the Related Controls Header to the
Related Controls paragraph, and adding the Related Definitions
paragraph.
5B001 (Telecommunication Test, Inspection and Production Equipment,
Components and Accessories)
The License Exception STA eligibility paragraph is amended by
removing ``use,'' because ``use'' was removed from control in 5B001.a.
5B001.a. is amended to delete ``or use'' as no ``use'' software of
concern could be identified for this entry.
The Note to 5B001.a was amended to replace ``control'' with ``apply
to'' to conform with Wassenaar.
5D001 (``Software'')
The SL control paragraph in the License Requirements section is
amended by replacing the reference to 5A001.i with 5A001.f.1, because
that equipment was moved in 5A001.
The License Requirements Notes paragraph in the License
Requirements section is amended by replacing three references to
5A001.i with 5A001.f.1, because that equipment was moved in 5A001.
5D980 (Other ``Software'', Other Than That Controlled by 5D001* * *)
The Header is amended by replacing the reference to 5A001.i with
5A001.f.1, because that equipment was moved in 5A001.
The Related Control paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section is amended by replacing three references to 5A001.i with
5A001.f.1, because that equipment was moved in 5A001.
5E001 (``Technology'')
The SL control paragraph in the License Requirements section is
amended by replacing the reference to 5A001.i with 5A001.f.1, because
that equipment was moved in 5A001.
The License Requirements Notes paragraph in the License
Requirements section is amended by replacing two references to 5A001.i
with 5A001.f.1, because that equipment was moved in 5A001.
5E001.d (``Technology'' * * * for the ``development'' or
``production'' of Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC) power
amplifiers specially designed for telecommunications) is amended by
revising paragraphs 5E001.d.4, d.5, and d.6, as well as adding new
paragraphs 5E001.d.7 and d.8, to mirror the revision made to 3A001.b.2
(explained above).
5E980 (``Technology'', other than that controlled by 5E001.a * * *)
The Header is amended by replacing two references to 5A001.i with
5A001.f.1, because that equipment was moved in 5A001.
The Related Control paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section is amended by replacing five references to 5A001.i with
5A001.f.1, because that equipment was moved in 5A001.
Category 5 Part 2--``Information Security''
The Cryptography Note (Note 3 to Category 5 Part 2 (Cat 5P2)) is
changed in two ways. It is reformatted in order to add a new paragraph
.b, and a new Note to the Cryptography Note is added to help industry
better understand how the existing `mass market' provisions and
requirements of the Cryptography Note (i.e., new paragraph a.) are
applied.
Regarding the new paragraph b., this new paragraph provides that
ECCN 5A002 and 5D002 do not control certain hardware components of
existing items described in paragraph a. of the Note. While certain
components of ``mass market'' products described in paragraph a. to
Note 3 are themselves sold or distributed through ``mass market''
channels and are therefore decontrolled under paragraph a., other
comparable components for ``mass market'' items are not separately sold
to the public via retail channels. New paragraph b. removes ECCN 5A002
and 5D002 controls from hardware components that are factory-installed
into a mass marketed product, and from functionally equivalent
aftermarket replacements of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
components--components that are identical in form, fit and function to
the OEM components, with certain restrictions as follows.
First, paragraph b. is limited to hardware components for existing
items described in paragraph a. of Note 3 and to hardware components
that have been designed for those existing items. Paragraph b. does not
apply to a component that is designed for a brand new type of item that
has never been sold before, or that has not previously had
cryptographic functionality. Instead, the end-product must first be
established as a `mass market' product before its components may
qualify for paragraph b.
Second, paragraph b.1. excludes components whose primary function
or set of functions is ``information security.'' Therefore,
cryptographic co-processors, cryptographic libraries/modules, Trusted
Platform Modules (TPMs), and components that provide an open
cryptographic interface are not eligible for decontrol under paragraph
b.
Third, paragraph b.2. excludes components that could introduce new
cryptographic functionality or enhance existing cryptographic
functionality into an array of products, if such functionality does not
already exist in the `mass market.' Components that provide enhanced or
additional cryptographic functionality to an existing `mass market'
product are not decontrolled under paragraph b. This exclusion applies
to both `standard add-on accessories'--additions to `mass market'
products that impart new features--and to `tailored add-on
accessories'--additions to `mass market' products that transform the
product into a non-consumer type item (e.g., tailored for network
operators, security operators, police/military/intelligence, etc.)
Paragraph b.3 excludes components that provide custom/substitute
cryptography or made-to-order customizations (e.g., tailored form/fit/
function) but no algorithm changes. The requirements set forth in
Section 742.15(b) for mass market components also apply to the hardware
components eligible for decontrol under new paragraph b. to Note 3.
Paragraph b.4. states that details of the component and end-item
must be available to BIS when necessary. BIS does not intend to change
the scope of any of the reporting requirements under License Exception
ENC. In particular, BIS does not intend to require exporters to collect
any more information on the products that a component is going into
than is currently required under the EAR.
In adding this new paragraph b. to the Cryptography Note (Cat 5P2
Note 3) in the existing provisions of Cat 5P2, Note 3 become new
paragraph a.
In terms of how these existing `mass market' provisions are
applied, paragraph 1 of the new Note to the Cryptography Note provides
guidance on what it means for an item to be considered `mass market'
and `generally available to the public'. This Note paragraph 1 makes it
clear that in order
[[Page 37377]]
to meet the `mass market' provisions of Cat 5P2 Note 3 paragraph a.,
the item must be of potential interest to a wide range of individuals
and businesses, and potential customers do not need to specifically
consult with a vendor or supplier to learn how much the item costs or
what its main functional specifications are.
Paragraph 2. of the Note to the Cryptography Note also makes clear
that in determining whether an item meets the `mass market'
qualifications of Note 3 paragraph a., relevant factors such as
quantity, price, required technical skill, existing sales channels,
typical customers, typical use, or any exclusionary practices of the
supplier may be taken into account, in addition to other possible
considerations.
The purpose of this new Note to the Cryptography Note is not to
change the existing scope of control of the Cryptography Note, but to
make current practices of interpretation more clear to the public.
Although the control text only mentions hardware components, the
decontrol also applies to software components that are specially
designed for a particular hardware component that has already been
released from control.
For a component that meets new paragraph b. of the Cryptography
Note 3 in Category 5 Part 2 of the Commerce Control List (Supplement
No. 1 to part 774) that has previously been classified under ECCN 5A002
pursuant to Sec. 740.17(b)(3), a new classification by BIS (i.e., a
request for a CCATS) is not required to make the component eligible for
mass market treatment under Sec. 742.15(b)(3) and reclassified under
ECCN 5A992. However, a reclassified component must be included in a
self-classification report submitted to BIS and the ENC Encryption
Request Coordinator no later than February 1 following the calendar
year in which it is first exported or reexported as a mass market item
(see Sec. 742.15(c) for complete instructions on submitting encryption
self-classification reports).
5A002 (``Information Security'' Systems, Equipment and Components
Therefor)
The Related Controls paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
Section is amended by redesignating paragraphs (1) and (2) as (2) and
(3), and adding a new paragraph (1) to specify that 5A002.a controls
``components'' providing the means or functions necessary for
``information security.'' All such ``components'' are presumptively
``specially designed'' and controlled within 5A002.a. Therefore, no
analysis of the definition of ``specially designed'' is needed. BIS is
making this change to clarify that no changes are made to how the U.S.
Government currently interprets the scope of 5A002.a as a result of the
implementation of the newly revised definition of ``specially
designed.''
On June 19, 2012 (77 FR 36419), BIS published the advanced notice
of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) entitled ``Feasibility of Enumerating
``Specially Designed'' Components.'' In that ANPRM, BIS requested
public comments to identify where on the CCL it was possible to replace
the term ``specially designed'' with other control criteria. Category
5, Part 2 was identified by one commenter as a good candidate for
enumerating ``components'' that warrant control. This commenter
supported making 5A002.a into a positive list of ``components''
controlled for ``information security.'' The commenter indicated 5A002
is already more of an enumerated control versus a catch-all control and
therefore the term ``specially designed'' was not needed. This new Note
to paragraph a. is responsive to that comment and also consistent with
the larger Export Control Reform (ECR) Initiative objective of making
the CCL more ``positive.''
The addition of Note 1 to the Related Controls paragraph of 5A002
does not change the scope of the ECCN, but rather is limited to adding
an explanatory note regarding the scope of ``components'' controlled
under 5A002.a. Currently, the U.S. Government is working on a regime
proposal to the Wassenaar Arrangement that would replace the term
``specially designed'' in 5A002.a with ``providing the means or
functions necessary.'' This work is being undertaken by the U.S.
Government to better reflect the intent of this control on
``components'' under 5A002.a and to better reflect how the U.S.
Government currently interprets the scope of this control on
``components'' under 5A002.a.
The Note g. to the Items paragraph is also amended by replacing the
reference to paragraphs .b to e. of the Cryptography Note (Note 3 in
Category 5--Part 2) with paragraphs a.2. to a.5. of the Cryptography
Note in order to harmonize with the changes made to the Cryptography
Note.
The Note to the Items paragraph is amended by adding the phrase
``or not exceeding 100 meters according to the manufacturer's
specifications for equipment that cannot interconnect with more than
seven devices'' to the end of paragraph i. to raise the range, because
there are many products on the market today that exceed this
limitation. This revision will only decontrol such equipment that
cannot interconnect with more than seven (7) devices (e.g., Bluetooth).
If a type of Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) equipment can
interconnect with more than seven devices, it continues to only be
released by 5A002 Note i. if its nominal operating range does not
exceed 30 meters.
In addition, the definition of ``personal area network,'' found in
Part 772 of the EAR, is updated to account for this range increase in
paragraph i. of the Note.
5A002.a.1 is amended by adding the phrase ``or execution of copy-
protected ``software'' to the exclusion list in paragraph a.1, as well
as Technical Note 1, to clarify that such items are still excluded from
control. Prior to June 25, 2010, products with cryptographic
functionality limited to copy protection (and other digital rights
management (DRM) functionality) were originally decontrolled by
decontrol Note c. to 5A002. When Note 4 to Category 5, Part 2 (Cat 5P2)
was implemented on June 25, 2010, paragraph c. of the decontrol note to
5A002 was removed and a pointer (Nota Bene) to Cat 5P2 Note 4 was added
to make clear that this decontrol was subsumed into Cat 5P2 Note 4.
However, since then, exporters have been confused about how copy
protection falls under Note 4. To make it clear that copy protection is
not controlled in 5A002, this rule adds the phrase ``or execution of
copy-protected software'' into the exclusion note. This does not change
the scope of what is decontrolled, as Note 4 in Cat 5P2 remains
unchanged and in full effect. By application of Note 4 in Cat 5P2
(especially paragraph a.3, regarding digital rights management (DRM)),
copy protection and other DRM functionality is excluded from
classification under Cat 5P2, even if the copy protection scheme (or
other DRM) uses ``cryptography.'' Moreover, copy protection
functionality is not specified for control in any CCL Category.
Accordingly, EAR99 software with addition of cryptographic
functionality limited to copy protection remains classified as EAR99.
A Note to 5A002.a.2 is added to clarify that 5A002.a.2 includes
systems or equipment, designed or modified to perform cryptanalysis by
means of reverse engineering.
5A002.a.7 (Non-cryptographic information and communications
technology (ICT) security systems and devices) is amended by replacing
the phrase ``evaluated to an assurance level exceeding'' with ``that
have been
[[Page 37378]]
evaluated and certified by a national authority to exceed'' in order to
clarify that the intent is to control only those items which have been
evaluated against the applicable criteria and have subsequently
received a certification from a national security authority attesting
that the items exceed class EAL-6 (evaluation assurance level) of the
Common Criteria (CC) or equivalent.
5A992 (Equipment not controlled by 5A002) is amended by adding a
Note to paragraph .b of the Items paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section. The Note is added to clarify that 5A992 does not
control products with cryptographic functionality limited to copy
protection.
5E002 (``Technology'') is amended by adding a Note to clarify that
``5E002 includes ``information security'' technical data resulting from
procedures carried out to evaluate or determine the implementation of
functions, features or techniques specified in Category 5, Part 2''.
The purpose of this Note is to clarify two things. First, that existing
5E002 controls on ``technology'' includes ``information security''
technical data that may be revealed or conveyed by the security
evaluation of a product (e.g., for government or commercial
certification purposes). Second, this Note is added to clarify that
reverse engineering can be viewed as a form of product evaluation;
consequently, 5E002 includes reverse engineering data and reports that
detail the implementation of controlled ``information security''
functions, features or techniques by an item.
Category 6--Sensors and Lasers
6A001 (Acoustic Systems, Equipment and Components)
6A001.a.1.a.2 (Underwater survey equipment designed for seabed
topographic mapping) is amended by replacing ``all'' with ``any'' and
cascading the parameters in order to add a new control for additional
survey equipment identified in 6A001.a.1.a.2.b. Note that the
parameters for the previously controlled survey equipment, now in
6A001.a.1.a.2.a, remain unchanged.
6A001.a.1.a.2.b is added to control underwater survey equipment not
specified by 6A001.a.1.a.2.a. A new Technical Note is added that states
acoustic sensor pressure rating determines the depth rating in
6A001.a.1.a.2. Additionally, the existing Technical Note defining
`sounding rate' is modified to specify 100% coverage.
6A001.a.1.a.3 (Side Scan Sonar (SSS) or Synthetic Aperture Sonar
(SAS), designed for seabed imaging) is amended by adding an `along
track resolution' parameter to a revised a.1.a.3.b and moving the
`across track resolution' parameter in paragraph a.1.a.3.b to new
paragraph a.1.a.3.c. Editorial revisions are made to the Technical
Notes as well.
6A002 (Optical Sensors or Equipment And Components Therefor) is
amended by replacing the periods with semi-colons at the end of
paragraphs a.3.a.2.b, a.3.b.2.b, a.3.g.3 and c.3 in the Items paragraph
of the List of Items Controlled section to correct the punctuation. In
addition, 6A002.a.3.d.2.b is amended by removing ``(SPRITE),'' because
the SPRITE is no longer in production and the performance of the
detector and the sensors it was integrated into has been surpassed by
more modern Focal Plane Array (FPA) developments. The word ``detector''
is added before element. ``Element'' is made plural. Capital letters
PR, I, T and E, are all replaced by lower case letters.
6A005 (``Lasers'' (Other Than Those Described in 0B001.g.5 or .h.6),
Components and Optical Equipment)
Paragraphs a.2, a.3, b.2, and b.3 in the Items paragraph of the
List of Items Controlled are amended by replacing ``520'' with ``510.''
Frequency-doubled Yb:YAG lasers using second harmonic generation (SHG)
emit green light at 515 nm. These lasers are increasingly being used in
commercial laser materials processing, replacing Nd:YAG lasers. Given
the development of this application, it was determined appropriate to
change the wavelength from ``520'' to ``510'' in 6A005.a.3 and
6A005.b.3, to control Yb:YAG SHG lasers at the same power level as
Nd:YAG SHG lasers. The change to a.2 and b.2 accounts for the shift in
wavelength in a.3 and b.3 so a gap in control was not created. As a
result of this change the NP controls are expanded to include 6A005.a.3
and all of b.3, instead of just b.3.a. 6A005.a.3 is added to paragraph
(d) of the License Requirements Note, which outlines NP controls.
6A005.a.6.a (Non-``tunable'' continuous wave ``(CW) lasers'') is
amended by removing paragraphs a.6.a.1 and a.6.a.2 to simplify the
control text. The output power control level of 150 W is replaced with
200 W to adjust for technical advancements.
6C004 (Optical Materials)
6C004.b (Electro-optic materials and non-linear optical materials)
and .c (Non-linear optical materials, other than those specified by
6C004.b) are amended in order to control new materials that can be used
in military applications. Advances in crystal growth have facilitated
the manufacturing of additional non-linear optical materials. The new
citations identify specific materials by name or using the updated
parameters under 6C004.c.3 and c.4 that can be fabricated into non-
linear optical components. These non-linear crystals have recently
become useful due to advances in manufacturing. They can now be grown
large enough and with low defects so that they can be cut and polished
into optical components. The newly listed materials are of interest
because they can operate at high optical powers that cause other non-
linear materials to degrade.
6C005 (Synthetic crystalline ``laser'' host material in unfinished
form) is amended by removing 6C005.b (Alexandrite) and reserving the
paragraph, because Alexandrite lasers are tuneable from 700 to 800 nm
and the majority of applications for alexandrite lasers are for
dermatology and hair removal.
Category 7--Navigation and Avionics
7A001 (Accelerometers) is amended by replacing the ``bias''
``repeatability'' of less (better) than 5,000 micro g with 1,250 micro
g in paragraph a.2.a and replacing the ``scale factor''
``repeatability'' of less (better) than 2,500 ppm with 1,250 ppm in
paragraph a.2.b, because improvements in Microelectromechanical Systems
(MEMS) technology have led to availability of equivalent performance
accelerometers in commercial products, as well as widespread foreign
availability.
7D003 (``Software'')
The License Exception STA ineligibility paragraph is amended by
removing the phrase ``d.1 to d.4 or d.7'' because these controls have
been moved to a new ECCN 7D004, and paragraph 7D003.d is removed and
reserved by this rule. Specifically, these controls are moved to7D004.a
to .g, with the exception of 7D003.d.5 (Airborne automatic direction
finding equipment). 7D003.d.5 is removed and reserved as reflected in
the new paragraph 7D004.e, because there was no reason for this
relatively rudimentary item to be identified separately from other
navigation entries. Because the ``source code'' in 7D003.d is already
addressed elsewhere more specifically, this entry created a redundancy
in controls and is removed. For more details about the redundancy see
the preamble text for 7D004 below.
A Nota Bene (N.B.) is added to reference the new location (7D004)
for the control of 7D003.d source code.
[[Page 37379]]
7D004 (``Source code'' incorporating ``development'' ``technology''
specified by 7E004.a or 7E004.b) is added to the CCL to control
``source code'' moved from 7D003.d. Previously, two sets of technology
controls addressed the flight controls topic. The first was 7E001, the
GTN-based ``development'' technology controls relating to the 7D003
``source code'' entry. The second set of technology controls are under
7E004.a and 7E004.b, which enumerate specific flight control
technologies of concern. The existence of both sets of controls created
an obviously undesirable redundancy. However, it was discovered that
pertinent ``source code'' ``software'' and ``technology'' was removed
from control by the WA agreement, which the U.S. will address with WA
in future meetings to establish appropriate multi-lateral national
security level controls. In the meantime, ``source code'' for the
``development'' of fly-by-wire control systems is added to 0D521 No. 2.
The following technology is added to 0E521 No. 6: ``Technology'' for
fly-by-wire control systems, as follows: a. ``Technology'' according to
the General Technology Note for the ``development'' of ``software''
controlled by 0D521 No. 2; or b. ``Development'' ``technology'' for
``active flight control systems'' for control law compensation for
sensor location or dynamic airframe loads, i.e., compensation for
sensor vibration environment or for variation of sensor location from
the center of gravity. (See Supplement No. 5 to part 774.) There is a
pending rule that adds technology to 0E521 Nos. 2-5, therefore this
rule reserves those paragraphs in the table.
As described in the final rule that established the 0Y521 series
and that was published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2012 (77 FR
22191), items are added to the 0Y521 series upon a determination by the
Department of Commerce, with the concurrence of the Departments of
Defense and State, that the items should be controlled for export
because the items provide at least a significant military or
intelligence advantage to the United States or foreign policy reasons
justify control. The ``source code'' for the ``development'' of fly-by-
wire control systems in 0D521 No. 2 and the fly-by-wire technology in
0E521 No. 6 is controlled for regional stability (RS) Column 1 reasons.
ECCN 0D521 and 0E521 items are subject to a nearly worldwide license
requirement (i.e., for every country except Canada) with a case-by-case
license review policy, through regional stability (RS Column 1)
controls. Only License Exception GOV is available for this technology
for official use by personnel and agencies of the U.S. Government.
If your fly-by-wire software or technology was controlled by 7D003
or 7E001 and is now classified as 0D521 No. 2 or 0E521 No. 6, then you
do not need to replace your existing licenses or classifications
(CCATS), because it is considered a ``non-material'' change pursuant to
Section 750.7(c)(1)(viii) of the EAR. If you were going to request an
extension for licenses with these ECCNs, you may still request
extensions of these licenses instead of replacing them because of this
ECCN change.
In order to maintain the more detailed descriptions of the specific
flight control topics covered by 7E004.a and 7E004.b, WA agreed to
remove the 7E001 reference to flight control ``source code''. This
modification is accomplished by moving 7D003.d to 7D004, and removing
7D004 from 7E001 coverage. Reference language is added to the new 7D004
that points to the technology controls in 7E004.a and 7E004.b, as well
as 0D521 No. 2 and 0E521 No. 6 for fly-by-wire source code and
technology.
A new exclusion Note is added to 7D004 that states that ``7D004
does not apply to ``source code'' associated with common computer
elements and utilities (e.g., input signal acquisition, output signal
transmission, computer program and data loading, built-in test, task
scheduling mechanisms) not providing a specific flight control system
function,'' to clarify that the scope of these entries is limited to
flight control system function.
7E001 (``Technology'' According to the GTN for the ``Development'' of
7A, 7B or 7D)
The Header is amended to specify the three software ECCNs 7D001,
7D002, and 7D003, in order to remove the new 7D004 from the scope of
7E001, which was created to control flight control ``source code'' in
one place instead of in 7D003 and 7E001. The Related Controls paragraph
is amended by adding a reference to 0D521 No. 2 for ``source code'' for
the ``development'' of fly-by-wire control systems and 0E521 No. 6 for
``technology'' for the ``development'' of fly-by-wire control systems.
See explanation for the creation of 0D521 No. 2 and 0E521 No. 6 under
7D004 in the preamble of this rule.
7E004 (Other ``technology'')
The Related Controls paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section is amended to add references to 0D521 No. 2 (``source code''
for the ``development'' of fly-by-wire control systems), and 0E521 No.
6 (for ``technology'' for the ``development'' of ``software''
controlled by 0D521 No. 2).
7E004.b (``Development'' ``technology'', as specified, for ``active
flight control systems'' (including fly-by-wire or fly-by-light)) is
amended to more specifically list photonic technology of concern by
providing descriptions to positively identify the critical photonic
functions in a fly-by-light system.
7E004.b.1 is replaced, because the technology for interconnecting
multiple microelectronic processing elements, such as microprocessors,
in order to speed up processing is now widely available. In addition,
active flight control solutions today can easily run in real-time on a
single processor. 7E004.b.1 now controls fly-by-light technology.
Photonics-based flight control systems, or ``fly-by-light'', are in
development to provide a number of system-level benefits, including
tolerance of elevated Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and reduced
systems volume and weight.
7E004.b.2 is removed and reserved, because control law compensation
technology as described at the general level is now widely available.
7E004.b.3 is revised, because the former text for 7E004.b.3 dealt
with fault detection, isolation, tolerance, and resolution (i.e.,
``reconfiguration''). The only technique implied by the text is
``redundancy'', which was too broad and could encompass technology that
is widely understood and employed. The revised 7E004.b.3 text updates
the fault detection and isolation aspects to a more appropriate
characterization of the emerging technology for protection- predictive
diagnosis. This technology can determine the onset of a future failure
for more preemptive mitigation actions.
7E004.b.4 (``active flight control system'' technology) is revised,
because it was outdated. The revised text links the real-time
identification of component failures, and allows for mitigation during
degradations prior to full failure. These linked 7E004.b.3 and
7E004.b.4 updates better represent the emerging state-of-the-art
technologies with emphasis on preemption and mitigation capabilities.
Note to 7E004.b.4 and Note to 7E004.b are added and the Note to
7E004.b.3 is revised to clarify that the scope of these entries is
limited to flight control system function. The Note to 7E004.b.5 is
changed to conform to the WA text.
Category 9--Aerospace and Propulsion
9A001 (Aero gas turbine engines) is amended by replacing the phrase
``Participating State'' with ``Wassenaar
[[Page 37380]]
Arrangement Participating State'' in the introductory text of paragraph
.a and .b in Note 9A001.a of the Items paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section, because there is currently no definition for this
term in the EAR. However, it is understood that it refers to members of
the Wassenaar Arrangement.
9A018 (Equipment on the Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions List)
ECCN 9A018 is amended by revising the List of Items Controlled
section. 9A018.b is amended to implement the WA agreements for 2012 to
ML6 on the WA Munitions List. Paragraph 9A018.b is separated into two
parts. 9A018.b.1 covers ground transport vehicles (including trailers)
and parts and components therefor designed and modified for non-combat
military use. 9A018.b.2 is the modified portion of the former 9A018.b,
which covers other ground vehicles. Also, a Note is added to exclude
vehicles for transporting money or valuables. The revision clarifies
that ``all-wheel drive'' vehicles have transmissions that supply drive
to the front and rear wheels simultaneously even if the vehicle has
other wheels that provide no driving force. The second change limits
the scope of the paragraph to vehicles with a gross vehicle weight
rating greater than 4,500 kilograms. The third change replaces the term
``capable of off road use'' with the term ``designed or modified for
off road use.'' The fourth change is that ``components'' are separated
out from the vehicles and placed in 9A018.b.2 with parameters.
9E003 (Other ``Technology'')
9E003.a.5 (Cooled turbine blades, vanes or ``tip-shrouds'') is
amended by increasing the gas path temperature from 1643K (1370 [deg]C)
to 1693 K (1420 [deg]C), because as the material development for
airfoils has reached a steady state, increases in higher ``combustor
exit temperature'' can only come from advanced airfoil cooling. Taking
note of the higher combustor exit temperature for 9E003.a.2 that was
implemented in 2012, it then follows to increase the limiting
temperatures for cooled turbine blades, vanes and ``tip-shrouds'' in
9E003.a.5.
A Technical Note is added to define `gas path temperature' as this
term is used in the newly revised 9E003.a.5 parameter.
9E003.h.3 is amended by replacing the period with a semi-colon.
Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 (the Commerce Control List), Supplement
No. 2 ``General Technology and Software Notes''
The ``General Software Note'' (GSN) is amended by adding some
provisions that align with what WA Participating States have already
been doing. While WA implements the GSN as a decontrol note, the U.S.
implements it as criteria for License Exception TSU and a cross
reference to Sec. 740.13 is included. Additionally, paragraph 2 of the
GSN that refers to ``in the public domain,'' is replaced with a
reference to Section 734.3(b)(3) for regulations that set forth
provisions for ``publicly available technology and software.''
Paragraph 3 of the GSN sets forth the provision to cover minimum
necessary ``software'' for the installation, operation, maintenance
(checking) or repair of authorized equipment. It was decided to add
``object code'' to make sure that ``source code'' is not released by
the GSN. Also a Note was included to clarify that the minimum necessary
``object code'' is not software that can enhance or improve the
performance of an item or provide new features or functionality. The
GSN does not apply to ``software'' controlled by Category 5 Part 2
``Information Security,'' instead a similar note addresses such
``software'' in Note 3 to Category 5 Part 2 ``Cryptography Note.''
Supplement No. 5 to Part 774 (Items Classified Under ECCNS 0A521,
0B521, 0C521, 0D521 AND 0E521)
This rule revises section 0D521 and 0E521 of Supplement No. 5 to
part 774 to add two new entries 0D521 No. 2 and 0E521 No. 6. The
explanation for these additions is found under 7D004 in the preamble of
this rule.
Supplement No. 1 to Sec. 740.11 (Additional restrictions on use of
license Exception GOV) is amended by removing the phrase ``radio
frequency (RF) transmitting equipment'' and adding in its place
``Counter Improvised Explosive Device (IED) equipment and related
equipment'' in two places in paragraph (a)(1)(vii)(C) and in two places
in paragraph (b)(1)(vii)(C), because the scope of 5A001.h is expanded
to control more equipment.
Part 742 (Control Policy--CCL Based Controls)
Section 742.15 (Encryption Items) is amended by revising paragraph
(d). This rule adds paragraph (d)(2) to grandfather classification
requests and encryption registrations submitted after June 15, 2010 for
components that received a classification of 5X002 Sec. 742.17(b)(3)
and that meet the newly added paragraph (b) of the Cryptography Note 3
in Category 5 Part 2 of the Commerce Control List in Supplement No. 1
to part 774, if you include these components in your self-
classification report.
Part 743 Special Reporting
WA has three levels of controls as reflected in its Basic List
(BL), Sensitive List (SL), and Very Sensitive List (VSL). BIS makes
certain items on the WA BL and SL eligible for license exceptions.
Because of the U.S. obligations under its agreements to the WA, the
United States must report on SL items exported outside of the WA
membership countries. BIS does this by gathering data from its
licensing database. To collect data on exports made under license
exceptions, BIS requires WA reporting on SL items exported (excluding
deemed exports) under License Exceptions GBS, CIV, TSR, LVS, APP, STA,
and portions of GOV. As a result of WA making changes to its SL, this
rule makes corresponding changes to the reporting requirements of
section 743.1 of the EAR.
The Note to Section 743.1(c)(1)(ii) is simplified by combining the
list of software and technology that require WA reporting under ECCNs
2D001, 2E001 and 2E002, as well as harmonizing these requirements with
the changes made to the WA Sensitive List.
Part 770 Interpretations
Section 770.2 is amended by revising paragraph (h) ``Ground
Vehicles'' to harmonize with changes WA made to ML 6. WA changed ML 6
to clarify the scope of ML 6 by adding three specific parameter
paragraphs to distinguish military vehicles from commercial vehicles
used for security.
Sec. 772.1 Definitions of Terms as Used in the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR)
The definition for ``diffusion bonding'' is amended by removing the
word ``molecular'', replacing the phrase ``two separate metals'' with
``two separate pieces of metals'', and adding a phrase ``wherein the
principal mechanism is interdiffusion of atoms across the interface''
to the end of the definition. It was inappropriate to use the term
``molecular'' in describing metallic bonds, because molecules do not
exist in solid-state metals. In addition, to achieve diffusion bonding,
interdiffusion of at least two separate atoms of metals across the
interface must occur. Then, through the diffusion bonding, the atoms
are joined into
[[Page 37381]]
diffusion bonded metals (metallic bonds).
The definition for ``dynamic signal analyzers'' is removed from
Sec. 772.1. The existing controls on Dynamic Signal Analyzers are
commonly interpreted to require both phase and amplitude at the output.
By deleting the concept of ``Dynamic Signal Analyzer'' and replacing it
with ``Signal Analyzer'' the requirement that both phase and amplitude
be in the output is removed.
The definition for ``frequency mask trigger'' is added to define
pulse equipment (3A002.c.5) that allows the detection and processing of
unknown short duration, transient, sporadic, and burst RF signals.
The definition for ``object code'' is amended by replacing ``(Cat
9)'' with ``(GSN)'' because this term is not used in Cat 9 and it is
now used in the General Software Note to make sure that the GSN only
covers object code and not source code.
The definition for ``personal area network'' is amended by adding
the phrase ``and their nearby surrounding spaces'' to harmonize with
the range increase included in the 5A002 exclusion Note .i limits (not
exceeding 100 meters).
The definition for ``real-time bandwidth'' is revised to better
define the concept of gap-free analysis of the input data, and to
assure that the scope of control remains focused on what ``signal
analyzers'' was intended to control.
The definition for ``space-qualified'' is amended by removing the
reference to Cat 8, because Cat 8 no longer has ``space-qualified''
equipment. The revision of the text was to clarify the definition and
close a loophole.
The definition for ``substrate blanks'' is amended by replacing
``Cat 6'' with ``Cat 3 and 6,'' because this term is now used in
3B001.h.1 to control multi-layer masks with a phase shift layer.
Export Administration Act
Since August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended, has been in lapse. However, the President, through Executive
Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as
amended by Executive Order 13637 of March 8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March
13, 2013), and as extended by the Notice of August 15, 2012, 77 FR
49699 (August 16, 2012) has continued the EAR in effect under the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 1701
et seq.). BIS continues to carry out the provisions of the Export
Administration Act, as appropriate and to the extent permitted by law,
pursuant to Executive Order 13222 as amended by Executive Order 13637.
Saving Clause
Shipments of items removed from license exception eligibility or
eligibility for export without a license as a result of this regulatory
action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an
exporting carrier, or en route aboard a carrier to a port of export, on
June 20, 2013, pursuant to actual orders for export to a foreign
destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous license
exception eligibility or without a license so long as they have been
exported from the United States before August 19, 2013. Any such items
not actually exported before midnight, on August 19, 2013, require a
license in accordance with this regulation.
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 designated to be a ``significant
regulatory action'' although not economically significant, under
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the rule has been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
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
involves two collections of information subject to the PRA. One of the
collections has been approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088,
``Multi-Purpose Application,'' and carries a burden hour estimate of 58
minutes for a manual or electronic submission. The other of the
collections has been approved by OMB under control number 0694-0106,
``Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements under the Wassenaar
Arrangement,'' and carries a burden hour estimate of 21 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 OMB Desk Officer, New
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; and to Jasmeet Seehra,
OMB Desk Officer, by email at Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.eop.gov or by fax
to (202) 395-7285; and to the Office of Administration, Bureau of
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania
Avenue NW., Room 6622, 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 (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for
public participation, and a 30-day 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)). Immediate
implementation of these amendments fulfills the United States'
international obligation to the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export
Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. The
Wassenaar Arrangement contributes to international security and
regional stability by promoting greater responsibility in transfers of
conventional arms and dual use goods and technologies, thus preventing
destabilizing accumulations of such items. The Wassenaar Arrangement
consists of 41 member countries that act on a consensus basis and the
changes set forth in this rule implement agreements reached at the
December 2012 plenary session of the WA. Because the United States is a
significant exporter of the items in this rule, implementation of this
provision is necessary for the WA to achieve its purpose. Any delay in
implementation will create a disruption in the movement of affected
items globally because of disharmony between export control measures
implemented by WA members, resulting in tension between member
countries. Export controls work best when all countries implement the
same export controls in a timely manner. If this rulemaking were
delayed to allow for notice and comment and a 30-day delay in
effectiveness, it would prevent the United States from fulfilling its
commitment to the WA in a timely manner and would injure the
credibility of the United States in this and other multilateral
regimes.
Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking
and an opportunity for public comment be
[[Page 37382]]
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 Sharron Cook, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania
Ave. NW., Room 2099, Washington, DC 20230.

Sec. 770.2 Item Interpretations.
* * * * *
[[Page 37384]]
(h) Interpretation 8: Ground vehicles. (1) The U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security has export licensing
jurisdiction over ground transport vehicles (including trailers),
parts, and components therefor specially designed or modified for non-
combat military use. Vehicles in this category are primarily transport
vehicles designed or modified for transporting cargo, personnel and/or
equipment, or to move other vehicles and equipment over land and roads
in close support of fighting vehicles and troops. The U.S. Department
of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security also has export licensing
jurisdiction over vehicles specified in 9A018.b.2, if they do not have
armor described in 22 CFR 121, Category XIII. In this section, and in
ECCN 9A018, the word ``unarmed'' means not having weapons installed,
not having mountings for weapons installed, and not having special
reinforcements for mountings for weapons.
(2) Modification of a ground vehicle for military use entails a
structural, electrical or mechanical change involving one or more
specially designed military components. Such components include, but
are not limited to:
(i) Pneumatic tire casings of a kind designed to be bullet-proof or
to run when deflated;
(ii) Tire inflation pressure control systems, operated from inside
a moving vehicle;
(iii) Armored protection of vital parts, (e.g., fuel tanks or
vehicle cabs); and
(iv) Special reinforcements for mountings for weapons.
(3) Scope of ECCN 9A018.b: Ground transport vehicles (including
trailers) and parts and components therefor specially designed or
modified for non-combat military use are controlled by ECCN 9A018.b.1.
Unarmed vehicles specified in 9A018.b.2 that are not described in
paragraph (h)(4) of this section. ECCN 9A018.b does not cover civil
vehicles designed or modified for transporting money or valuables even
if such vehicles incorporate items described in paragraphs (h)(2)(i),
(ii), or (iii) of this section. Ground vehicles that are not described
in paragraph (h)(4) of this section and that are not covered by either
ECCN 9A018.b or 9A990 are EAR99, meaning that they are subject to the
EAR, but not listed in any specific ECCN.
(4) Related control: The Department of State, Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls has export licensing jurisdiction for all
military ground armed or armored vehicles and parts and components
specific thereto as described in 22 CFR part 121, Category VII. The
Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls also has
export licensing jurisdiction for all-wheel drive vehicles capable of
off-road use that have been armed or armored with articles described in
22 CFR part 121 or that have been manufactured or fitted with special
reinforcements for mounting arms or other specialized military
equipment described in 22 CFR part 121.

The revisions and addition read as follows:
Sec. 772.1 Definitions of terms as used in the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR).
* * * * *
Diffusion bonding. (Cat 1, 2, and 9)--A solid state joining of at
least two separate pieces of metals into a single piece with a joint
strength equivalent to that of the weakest material, wherein the
principal mechanism is interdiffusion of atoms across the interface.
* * * * *
Frequency mask trigger. (Cat 3)--For ``signal analyzers'' a
mechanism where the trigger function is able to select a frequency
range to be triggered on as a subset of the acquisition bandwidth while
ignoring other signals that may also be present within the same
acquisition bandwidth. A ``frequency mask trigger'' may contain more
than one independent set of limits.
* * * * *
Personal area network. (Cat 5 Part 2)--A data communication system
having all of the following characteristics:
(a) Allows an arbitrary number of independent or interconnected
`data devices' to communicate directly with each other; and
(b) Is confined to the communication between devices within the
immediate vicinity of an individual person or device controller (e.g.,
single room, office, or automobile, and their nearby surrounding
spaces).
Technical Note: `Data device' means equipment capable of
transmitting or receiving sequences of digital information.
* * * * *
Real time bandwidth. (Cat 3)--For ``signal analyzers'', the widest
frequency range for which the analyzer can continuously transform time
domain data entirely into frequency-domain results, using Fourier or
other discrete time transform that processes every incoming time point
without gaps or windowing effects that causes a reduction of measured
amplitude of more than 3 dB below the actual signal amplitude, while
outputting or displaying the transformed data.
* * * * *
Space-qualified. (Cat 3 and 6)--Designed, manufactured, or
qualified through successful testing, for operation at altitudes
greater than 100 km above the surface of the Earth.
Note: A determination that a specific item is ``space
qualified'' by virtue of testing does not mean that other items in
the same production run or model series are ``space qualified'' if
not individually tested.
