Revisions to the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) To Make the

Bureau of Industry and
Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This final rule implements
changes that were proposed on
November 29, 2012 in a proposed rule
entitled Revisions to the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) To
Make the Commerce Control List (CCL)
Clearer. The changes in the November
29 proposed rule were informed by
public comments received in response
to an advance notice of proposed
rulemaking entitled Commerce Control
List: Revising Descriptions of Items and
Foreign Availability published as part of
the President’s Export Control Reform
(ECR) Initiative on December 9, 2010.
This final rule implements changes that
can be made to the CCL without
requiring changes to multilateral export
control regime guidelines or lists.
This final rule also makes conforming
changes and minor clarifications as a
result of the publication of two final
rules implementing the Export Control
Reform Initiative: the April 16, 2013
final rule entitled Revisions to the
Export Administration Regulations:
Initial Implementation of Export Control
Reform; and the July 8, 2013 final rule
entitled Revisions to the Export
Administration Regulations: Military
Vehicles; Vessels of War; Submersible
Vessels, Oceanographic Equipment;
Related Items; and Auxiliary and
Miscellaneous Items that the President
Determines No Longer Warrant Control
under the United States Munitions List.
Lastly, this final rule is making
revisions to the EAR as a result of public
comments received in response to the
November 29 proposed rule and to a
notice of inquiry (NOI) entitled Request
for Public Comments on Shipping
Tolerances for Export Licenses Issued by
the Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS), that BIS published on July 5,
2012.

SUMMARY:
Effective Date: This rule is
effective on October 15, 2013, except
that amendatory instructions 25, 28, 31
and 35.c to Supplement No. 1 to part
774 are effective January 6, 2014.

Background
This final rule implements changes
proposed on November 29, 2012 in a
proposed rule entitled Revisions to the
Export Administration Regulations
(EAR) To Make the Commerce Control
List (CCL) Clearer. The changes in the
November 29 proposed rule were also
informed by public comments received
in response to an advance notice of
proposed rulemaking entitled
Commerce Control List: Revising
Descriptions of Items and Foreign
Availability as part of the President’s
Export Control Reform (ECR) Initiative
that was published by BIS on December
9, 2010 (75 FR 76664). The December 9
notice sought, among other things,
public comments on how descriptions
of items controlled on the Commerce
Control List (CCL) could be made
clearer.
Although the revisions proposed in
the November 29 proposed rule
originated with the ECR initiative, the
November 29 proposed rule and this
final rule are consistent with Executive
Order 13563. Executive Order 13563
requires agencies to review their
‘‘existing significant regulations, and
consider how best to promote
retrospective analysis of rules that may
be outmoded, ineffective, insufficient,
or excessively burdensome, and to
modify, streamline, expand, or repeal
them in accordance with what has been
learned.’’ In response to this
requirement, on August 23, 2011,
Commerce released a plan for the
review of its regulations. This proposed
rule was identified by the Department as
part of its plan for the retrospective
analysis of regulations and is being
implemented today in final form with
the publication of this final rule. The
Department’s plan may be found at:
https://open.commerce.gov/news/2011/
08/23/commerce-plan-retrospectiveanalysis-existing-rules.
This rule implements changes that
can be made to the CCL without
requiring a multilateral regime change.
For certain changes BIS identified that
would make the CCL clearer, but would
require a multilateral export control
regime change to implement, the U.S.
Government is developing regime
change proposals for consideration by
the relevant multilateral export control

regimes. BIS will implement those
changes, if approved by the multilateral
export control regimes, in separate
rulemakings.
To better facilitate intelligibility of the
provisions implemented by BIS, this
final rule identifies new phrases or
headings within double quotations. The
EAR identifies terms defined in part 772
with double quotations as well. Not all
the terms in double quotations in this
final rule are defined in part 772. The
additional double quotations around
new phrases, headings, or commonly
used words, are used in the Background
section of this final rule to assist in the
readability of the text.
The descriptions of the changes
implemented in this final rule are
organized under the four subject
headings used in the November 29
proposed rule and two additional
subject headings. The descriptions
include summaries of the public
comments received and BIS’s responses
to those comments. The fifth subject
heading describes changes that are being
implemented as a result of comments
received in response to a notice of
inquiry (NOI) that BIS published on July
5, 2012 (77 FR 39679), entitled Request
for Public Comments on Shipping
Tolerances for Export Licenses Issued by
the Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS). The sixth subject heading
describes clarifications to the final rule
published on April 16, 2013 (78 FR
22660) entitled Revisions to the Export
Administration Regulations: Initial
Implementation of Export Control
Reform (the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule). The public
comments BIS received in response to
the notice of inquiry prompted BIS to
include these changes in this final rule
because they are not only responsive to
the public comments, but they will also
make the CCL clearer and easier to use.
The six headings are:
(1) Clarifications to existing CCL
controls, including the use of the terms
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ on the CCL;
(2) Changes to conform the CCL to the
multilateral export control regime
control lists and previous amendments
to the EAR;
(3) Structural changes to improve the
clarity of the CCL;
(4) Removal of fourteen Export
Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs)
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC);
(5) Revisions to Shipping Tolerances
and removal of all ‘‘Unit’’ paragraphs;
and
(6) Clarifications to the April 16
(initial implementation) rule.

The public comment period for the
November 29 proposed rule closed on
January 28, 2013. BIS received 10 public
comments in response. When referring
to specific comments, BIS identifies
those as Commenters No. 1 through No.
10. The comments, including the table
for the Record of Public Comments, can
be found on the BIS Web site at
https://efoia.bis.doc.gov/index.php/
electronic-foia/index-of-documents.
Most commenters thought the
cumulative impact of the November 29
proposed rule would be beneficial for
exporters and would improve the clarity
of the CCL. BIS did not accept some of
the comments and addressed others in
ways different than the
recommendation. Commenter No. 7, for
example, commended and fully
supported the effort by BIS to modify
the CCL in order to make all sections
consistent and the CCL easier to read
and interpret. Commenter No. 7 agreed
with BIS that the cumulative impact of
the proposed changes should improve
clarity, and hence understanding, of the
CCL. Commenter No. 7 expressed
support for the rule, and noted that the
increased ease of use of the CCL would
especially benefit exporters of items that
may transfer to the CCL as a result of
Export Control Reform. Commenter No.
9 noted that the CCL contains a number
of ambiguities and inconsistencies that
require attention. Commenter No. 9
endorsed the recommendations
specified in the November 29 proposed
rule, asserting that the modifications, if
implemented, will improve the overall
clarity of the CCL. Commenter No. 3,
however, was critical of BIS’s proposal
to remove fourteen NRC ECCNs.
Commenter No. 8 objected to the
proposed ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’
changes and questioned whether the
changes in the November 29 rule were
too extensive for industry to be able to
review in a single proposed rule.
Some comments identified specific
changes that needed to be made to
achieve the objectives of certain
proposed changes. Others identified
formatting errors or typos in the
November 29 rule. Some commenters
also suggested additional changes that
were not specifically proposed in the
November 29 rule, either by specifically
identifying additional changes or
highlighting where additional review
should be conducted under the CCL
clean-up effort. BIS has incorporated
some of these changes, for example the
formatting errors and typos, although
other changes may need to be addressed
in subsequent reviews of the CCL. An
effective control list is not static;
therefore, although this final rule
implements a large number of changes
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
to improve the CCL, no single rule,
including this final rule, can eliminate
the need for review of the CCL to ensure
that it is clear and the scope reflects the
current national security and foreign
policy interests of the United States.
Some comments addressed issues
outside the scope of the November 29
proposed rule. BIS did not address these
comments in this final rule, but it
provides a brief overview of the issues
raised by the commenters for
transparency. Commenter No. 5
submitted comments that were
submitted previously on July 23, 2012
in response to a BIS proposed rule
dealing with personal protective
equipment and the proposed ‘‘600
series’’ ECCN 1A613. This comment is
not addressed in this final rule because
it is outside the scope of the November
29 rule, but this comment is being
evaluated along with other comments
received in response to the June 7, 2012
proposed rule as BIS prepares the final
rule for publication. Another comment
received that was outside the scope of
the November 29 proposed rule dealt
with the proposed definition of
‘‘components’’ that was set forth in the
proposed rule published on July 15,
2011 (76 FR 41958). BIS completed its
review, responded to comments
received on the definition of
‘‘components,’’ and published a
definition of ‘‘components’’ in the April
16 (initial implementation) rule. Lastly,
one commenter made a number of
suggestions regarding the meaning and
use of the term ‘‘specially designed’’
and regarding other design related terms
on the CCL. These comments are
outside the scope of the November 29
proposed rule. BIS proposed a
definition of ‘‘specially designed’’ in a
proposed rule published on June 19,
2012, and also an advance notice of
proposed rulemaking published on the
same day that requested comments on
the feasibility of enumerating ‘‘specially
designed’’ components on the CCL. BIS
reviewed and responded to comments
received on the definition of ‘‘specially
designed’’ submitted in response to the
June 19 proposed rule. A final definition
of ‘‘specially designed’’ was published
in the April 16 (initial implementation)
rule. BIS is still evaluating where it may
be feasible to remove the term
‘‘specially designed’’ from non-‘‘600
series’’ ECCNs on the CCL.
(1) Clarifications to Existing CCL
Controls, Including the Use of the Terms
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ on the CCL
The majority of changes proposed in
the November 29 rule and being
implemented in this final rule amend
the CCL without changing the scope of
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
61875
the controls. The bulk of the changes
this final rule is making to the CCL are
non-substantive and will provide
additional regulatory guidance to people
classifying items subject to the EAR.
One proposed change from the
November 29 rule that is being
implemented in this final rule will
clarify the scope of ECCNs by providing
clearer definitions of the terms ‘‘part’’
and ‘‘component,’’ which is discussed
below. However, this final rule does
include changes that would affect the
scope of one ECCN. Specifically, this
final rule removes ECCN 8A918 and
adds certain marine boilers to ECCN
8A992, where they would be controlled
for AT and UN reasons.
BIS proposed in the November 29
proposed rule changes to align the
regulations with the definitions of
‘‘part’’ and ‘‘component’’ included in a
proposed rule published on July 15,
2011 (76 FR 41958) entitled ‘‘Proposed
Revisions to the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR): Control of Items the
President Determines No Longer
Warrant Control Under the United
States Munitions List (USML)’’
(hereinafter ‘‘the July 15 (framework)
rule’’), which were made final in the
April 16 (initial implementation) rule.
The changes that are implemented in
this final rule include adding additional
references to ‘‘part’’ (although scaled
back considerably compared to what
was proposed in the November 29
proposed rule), and ‘‘component’’ in
certain ECCNs to clarify that the scope
of those ECCNs also extends to ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components’’ even if previously
those ECCNs may have only referenced
either ‘‘part’’ or ‘‘component,’’ but not
both terms together. The proposed
definitions of ‘‘part’’ and ‘‘component’’
were provided in the November 29
proposed rule as a reference, along with
a discussion of the context for the need
to make certain conforming changes.
The November 29 proposed rule
indicated that the conforming changes
would not be published in final form
until the revised definitions of ‘‘part’’
and ‘‘component’’ were published in
final form, which occurred, as noted
above in this paragraph, in the April 16
(initial implementation) rule that is
effective on October 15, 2013. Because
of the relationship between this final
rule and the initial implementation rule,
this final rule’s effective date is
coordinated to become effective on the
same day as the initial implementation
rule.
As was noted in the November 29
proposed rule, BIS is not attempting to
add additional references to ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ in this final rule that
would change the scope of what the

61876
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
affected ECCNs control. In the past, BIS
had not drawn clear distinctions
between what was a ‘‘part’’ or
‘‘component’’ because both terms were
undefined on the CCL. Having newly
defined terms for ‘‘part’’ and
‘‘component’’ makes the CCL clearer
and allows for more nuanced controls to
be developed, but making the necessary
conforming changes to the current CCL
control text to conform to those new
definitions, while not changing the
intended scope of those existing ECCNs
is also an important part to the Export
Control Reform effort. BIS encouraged
the public to participate in this process
by reviewing the proposed changes in
this area included in the November 29
rule.
In the November 29 rule, BIS
indicated that if, however, the public
believes any of the proposed changes
would change the present scope of the
affected ECCNs, then the public should
submit comments that identify such
changes and explain how the changes
would cause the ECCNs to deviate from
their present scope. One commenter did
submit comments that were highly
critical of these changes and questioned
BIS’s assumptions, in particular
whether such conforming changes
would not change the scope of these
ECCNs. BIS addresses this comment
below in detail, including discussing
the additional review conducted by BIS
and the other agencies that reviewed
this rule that led to a significant
reduction in the number of ECCNs
where ‘‘parts’’ are being added in this
final rule. In addition, in the November
29 proposed rule, the public was
encouraged to review the entire CCL to
identify and comment on any other
ECCN that uses the terms ‘‘parts’’ or
‘‘components’’ where additional
changes may be warranted to conform to
the intended scope of those ECCNs.
Certain commenters conducted such
analysis and made suggestions for
additional changes that are addressed or
implemented in this final rule. These
public comments and additional
reviews conducted by BIS and the other
agencies helped to improve this final
rule.
The following describes the changes
included in this final rule, the
comments received that pertained to
changes proposed in the November 29
rule, and any additional changes that
are being implemented in this final rule
as a result of BIS’s review of the
comments and additional analysis
conducted of the CCL.
The clarifying changes being
implemented in this final rule are as
follows:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
(A) Revisions to ECCN Headings To
Clarify Meaning
Revision to the headings of thirty-one
ECCNs. In Supplement No. 1 to part
774—The Commerce Control List, this
final rule revises, to enhance clarity, the
headings of the following thirty-one
ECCNs: 0A018, 1A995, 1B018 1B115,
1C350, 1C355, 1C992, 2A291, 2A991,
2B005, 2B201, 2B109, 2B991, 2B992,
3B991, 3B992, 4A994, 5A991, 5A992,
5D992, 5E992, 6A997, 6A998, 6B995,
6D993, 7A103, 7A107, 8A992, 9A004,
9A106 and 9B991. This final rule also
clarifies the relationship between the
headings and the ‘‘items’’ paragraph in
the List of Items Controlled section of
these thirty-one ECCNs. For example, in
certain ECCNs, the entries include an
‘‘items’’ paragraph, but the ECCN
heading does not direct people to
review the ‘‘items’’ paragraph. This rule
will add the phrase ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ to these ECCN headings.
For other ECCNs listed above, the
heading includes the phrase ‘‘(see List
of Items Controlled),’’ but the placement
of the phrase is not correct in terms of
what BIS intended to control in the
ECCN. If the phrase appears at the end
of the heading, then that means the
‘‘items’’ paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section is the exclusive,
complete list of the items the ECCN
controls. If, however, the phrase appears
in the middle of the heading, then that
means only that portion of the heading
prior to the phrase ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ is specifically identified in
the ‘‘items’’ paragraph in the List of
Items Controlled section, and that the
remaining part of the heading (i.e., the
rest of the heading after the phrase ‘‘(see
List of Items Controlled)’’) is an
exclusive, complete description.
The placement of the phrase ‘‘(see List
of Items Controlled)’’ is important for
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ referred to in
ECCN headings. If ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ references appear before
the phrase, the entry only controls
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ specifically
identified in the ‘‘items’’ paragraph in
the List of Items Controlled section. If,
however, the phrase is in the middle of
the heading and the reference to ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components’’ appears after the
phrase—such as ‘‘and specially
designed ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’
therefor’’—that means the ECCN would
control ‘‘specially designed’’ ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components’’ for any item
identified in the ‘‘items’’ paragraph in
the List of Items Controlled section.
This rule does not address the definition
of ‘‘specially designed,’’ which was
published in the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule, but rather the
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
relationship between these headings
and the ‘‘items’’ paragraph in each of
these respective ECCNs.
Revisions to fourteen ECCNs. In
addition, this rule adds the phrase ‘‘as
follows’’ to the headings of the
following fourteen ECCNs: 0A981,
2B201, 5D991, 5D992, 5E992, 6A992,
6A994, 6A995, 6A997, 6A998, 6B995,
6C994, 6D993 and 9B991, to ensure
consistency with the structure of other
ECCNs on the CCL. The phrase ‘‘as
follows’’ is used on some of the
multilateral export control regime
control lists, which is why the phrase
appears on the CCL, including in some
ECCNs that reflect controls applied
unilaterally by the United States based
on domestic foreign policy to conform
to the structure of the regime-based
ECCNs. The multilateral export control
regimes do not use the phrase ‘‘(see List
of Items Controlled),’’ but this phrase is
used in many of the multilateral-based
ECCNs on the CCL. BIS seeks greater
consistency in how CCL headings are
constructed, in particular how these two
phrases are used in the ECCN headings.
Commenter No. 8 to the November 29
proposed rule recommended, where the
two phrases appear together at the end
of the heading, that the use of ‘‘as
follows’’ serves no purposes and
therefore should be removed. Although
BIS agrees there is redundancy in such
cases, BIS desires to maintain
consistency with the Wassenaar
Arrangement, which uses the term ‘‘as
follows’’ while at the same time using
the CCL convention of directing the
public to the ‘‘items’’ paragraph when
needed. Thus, BIS is not accepting the
recommendation in this comment, but
will continue to consider whether
additional changes should be made,
including whether multilateral regime
change proposals or discussions in this
area may be warranted.
ECCN 1C011. This final rule is
removing the cross reference from the
heading of 1C011 to 1C111 because this
text is no longer needed as a result of
the addition of Supplement No. 4 to Part
774—Commerce Control List Order of
Review in the initial implementation
rule. Under Step 5 of the new CCL
Order of Review, if an item is not
classified by a ‘‘600 series’’ ECCN, then
starting from the beginning of the
product group you should analyze each
ECCN to determine whether any other
ECCN in that product group describes
the item. This new CCL Order of Review
makes the relationship clear between
these two ECCNs, so there is no need to
qualify the heading of 1C011 with the
phrase ‘‘other than those specified in
1C111.’’ Therefore, this final rule
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
removes those phrases from the heading
of 1C011.
ECCN 1D993. This rule revises the
heading of 1D993 to remove the term
‘‘equipment’’ to be consistent with the
definition of ‘‘equipment’’ added to the
EAR in the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule. This ECCN
currently refers to equipment or
materials, but the only ECCNs cross
referenced in the heading are for
controls on materials, so the term
equipment is not needed in 1D993. BIS
did not receive any comments on this
change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCNs 0D001, 3D980, 3E980, 4D980
and 4E980. This rule revises the
headings of ECCNs 0D001, 3D980,
3E980, 4D980 and 4E980, by removing
the term ‘‘items’’ and adding the term
‘‘commodities’’ in its place. BIS makes
this change because in the context of
these five ECCN headings, the term
‘‘commodities’’ is more accurate and
specific regarding the scope of these
entries. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCN 2B998. The heading of 2B998
uses the undefined term ‘‘units.’’ To add
greater specificity regarding what the
term ‘‘unit’’ is intended to cover in this
ECCN, this rule modifies the heading by
removing the term ‘‘units’’ and adding
the term ‘‘circuit boards.’’ This change
will clarify that ‘‘circuit boards’’ are the
items covered under the heading of
2B998. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCNs 3A980 and 3A981. This rule
adds the term ‘‘therefor’’ immediately
before the term ‘‘n.e.s.’’ to the headings
of ECCNs 3A980 and 3A981. This rule
makes this change to emphasize that
these ECCNs refer only to components
of the subject voice print equipment and
polygraph equipment. BIS did not
receive any comments on this change,
so BIS is implementing this change, as
proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9A004. Commenter No. 7
suggested the term ‘‘specifically
designed’’ should be replaced with
‘‘specially designed’’ on the CCL
wherever it occurs. The November 29
proposed rule did not propose this
change to ECCN 9A004. Commenter No.
7 noted that ECCN 9A004 still uses
specifically designed ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ as opposed to ‘‘specially
designed.’’ For consistency this
commenter suggested ‘‘specially
designed’’ should be used all the time
on the CCL. As part of the Export
Control Reform Initiative, BIS will
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
review the use of ‘‘specifically
designed’’ on the CCL as it corresponds
to the USML categories, and how those
categories are revised during the USMLto-CCL regulatory process.
(B) Clarification of the Use of the Terms
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ on the CCL
The July 15 (framework) rule included
proposed definitions for the terms
‘‘part’’ and ‘‘component.’’ The April 16
(initial implementation) rule included a
final definition for the terms ‘‘part’’ and
‘‘component.’’ Specifically, the initial
implementation rule, and the July 15
(framework) proposed rule, defined
‘‘parts’’ as ‘‘any single unassembled
element of a component, accessory, or
attachment which is not normally
subject to disassembly without the
destruction or the impairment of design
use. Examples include threaded
fasteners (e.g., screws, bolts, nuts, nut
plates, studs, inserts), other fasteners
(e.g., clips, rivets, pins), common
hardware (e.g., washers, spacers,
insulators, grommets, bushings), springs
and wire.’’
The April 16 (initial implementation)
rule, and the July 15 (framework) rule,
defined ‘‘components’’ as an item that is
useful only when used in conjunction
with an ‘‘end item.’’ Note that
components are also commonly referred
to as assemblies. For purposes of this
new definition that was added to the
EAR on April 16, 2013, in the initial
implementation final rule that becomes
effective on October 15, 2013, an
assembly and a component are the
same. Additionally, there are now two
types of ‘‘components’’: ‘‘Major
components’’ and ‘‘minor components.’’
A ‘‘major component’’ includes any
assembled element which forms a
portion of an ‘‘end item’’ without which
the end item is inoperable. For example,
for an automobile, components include
the engine, transmission, and battery. If
you do not have all those items, the
automobile will not function, or
function as effectively. A ‘‘minor
component’’ includes any assembled
element of a ‘‘major component.’’ Note
also that ‘‘components’’ consist of
‘‘parts.’’ ’ References in the CCL to
‘‘components’’ include both ‘‘major
components’’ and ‘‘minor components.’’
Another example for applying the
definition of ‘‘component’’ in the
automobile context would be a fuel
pump and the engine. Under this
additional example, the fuel pump is a
minor component of an automobile, as
it is an assembled element of a ‘‘major
component,’’ the engine. While the car
will not function without the fuel
pump, it is not a ‘‘major component’’

because it is integrated into a ‘‘major
component,’’ the engine.
The July 15 (framework) rule
indicated BIS would review the use of
these two terms on the CCL and would
likely make clarifications to CCL entries
to conform to the proposed definitions
included in the July 15 (framework) rule
under a separate rule. The November 29
proposed rule addressed the use of the
terms ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ on the
CCL to ensure these terms were being
used in a manner consistent with the
final definitions included in the April
16 (initial implementation) rule. BIS
received a variety of different comments
on these proposed changes that are
addressed here.
The terms ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’
sometimes have been used
interchangeably in various ECCNs,
which may have been the source of
some confusion. The final definitions
included in the initial implementation
rule were developed to provide clear,
distinct definitions for both these terms
and other terms such as ‘‘end item,’’
‘‘system,’’ ‘‘accessories,’’ and
‘‘attachments,’’ to align with the
definitions of these terms in the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR). See 22 CFR § 121.8.
Such distinctions are significant for
purposes of determining whether an
ECCN applies to an item.
If an ECCN does not include a control
on ‘‘parts’’ or ‘‘components,’’ then that
ECCN would not, by definition, apply to
the export of any particular ‘‘parts’’ or
‘‘components.’’ However, as mentioned
above, the terms ‘‘parts’’ and
components’’ have sometimes been used
interchangeably. Therefore, to ensure
that once the definition of ‘‘part’’ and
‘‘component’’ are added to the EAR the
scope of existing controls is not
narrowed, the November 29 rule
proposed adding additional references
to ‘‘parts’’ or ‘‘components,’’ in
particular for ECCNs that are based on
the multilateral export control regime
control lists. The November 29 rule took
a cautious approach, possibly erring on
the side of potential over control versus
under control when making these
conforming changes for ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components,’’ in particular for the
addition of ‘‘parts’’ to entries that only
identified components.
Under the current EAR, many of the
ECCNs based on the multilateral control
lists reference ‘‘components,’’ but not
‘‘parts.’’ For these entries where parts
were not referenced, the U.S.
Government had to take into account in
drafting the November 29 rule how the
U.S. Government has interpreted these
ECCNs as well as how the other
multilateral regime members have
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
61878
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
interpreted these ECCNs to determine
whether the intent of the U.S.
Government and the other regime
members was for these entries to
include ‘‘parts.’’ In certain contexts BIS
has determined the intent of the U.S.
Government and the respective
multilateral regimes is to also control
‘‘parts.’’ However, in other contexts after
further review, BIS has determined the
addition of ‘‘parts’’ is not needed, and
therefore this final rule does not add
references to ‘‘parts.’’ The Departments
of State and Defense, along with other
agencies that reviewed this final rule,
assisted BIS in making these
determinations. These determinations
were focused on making sure that the
conforming changes for ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ being implemented in
this final rule are consistent with past
practice and would not result in a
change in existing controls.
As noted in the November 29 rule,
over the mid- to long-term, BIS will
work with the other U.S. Government
agencies involved in the multilateral
regimes, in particular the Department of
State as the lead representative to the
multilateral export control regimes, to
raise in the respective multilateral
export control regimes whether certain
ECCNs should be limited to
‘‘components’’ or ‘‘parts’’ or some other
subset of ‘‘components,’’ such as major
components or minor components.
Based on the public comments
received, there appears to be some
degree of disparate interpretation
regarding whether some of these ECCNs
are intended to also include ‘‘parts.’’ For
example, Commenter No. 8 believes that
in the vast majority of contexts, these
ECCNs are not intended to reach
‘‘parts.’’ However, Commenters No. 6
and 7 supported the conforming
changes, including those involving the
addition of ‘‘parts.’’ Because BIS in the
past had not defined or clearly
distinguished between these two terms,
it is not surprising to BIS that certain
commenters would arrive at differing
determinations regarding whether
current ECCNs that do not include
‘‘parts’’ are intended to also include
‘‘parts.’’
Many unilateral ECCNs on the CCL
refer to ‘‘parts’’ but not ‘‘components.’’
For unilateral ECCNs, BIS has more
discretion in whether these ECCNs
should control ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components.’’ However, for
consistency with the approach
implemented for the multilateral-based
ECCNs in this final rule, and to ensure
the scope of the unilateral ECCNs is not
changed, this final rule is adding
references to ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’
as needed in the unilateral ECCNs to
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
reflect how BIS has interpreted the
scope of these ECCNs in the past. These
changes proposed in the November 29
rule were not opposed by any of the
public comments received.
Consistent with the April 16, 2013
final definitions of ‘‘part’’ and
‘‘component’’ included in the initial
implementation rule, BIS is
implementing a number of changes to
the CCL to incorporate the terms ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components’’ in specific ECCNs.
However, as noted above, BIS has
significantly scaled back the number of
‘‘parts’’ additions included in the final
rule. The primary purpose of these
ECCN changes is to conform to those
definitions and to ensure that no
substantive changes are made to the
current U.S. Government interpretation
of these ECCNs.
Public Comments Received for
Clarifying the Use of the Terms ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components’’ on the CCL
The following discusses the
comments received regarding the
clarification of the use of the terms
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ on the CCL.
Two commenters supported the
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ changes.
Commenter No. 6 noted that the
definition of ‘‘part’’ and ‘‘component’’ is
a welcome clarification.’’ Commenter
No. 7 also indicated these changes
should resolve ambiguities about ECCN
coverage and enable companies to
correctly classify items falling under
each of these designations. BIS agrees
with these comments. Commenters No.
6 and 7 support BIS’s rationale for these
changes and provide additional
rationale highlighting the benefits and
need to make these changes.
One commenter opposed the ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components’’ changes. Commenter
No. 8 opposed the ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ changes because central
to the proposed ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ changes are the
definitions of ‘‘specially designed’’ and
‘‘component,’’ respectively. This
commenter noted that it is difficult to
gauge the impact of the proposed
changes in this area set forth in this rule
without knowing the definitions of
these terms. BIS acknowledges that
these other terms have been proposed in
other proposed rules being implemented
under the ECR Initiative. BIS made this
explicit in the November 29 proposed
rule by including references to the
definitions of ‘‘part’’ and ‘‘component’’
included in the July 15 (framework)
rule. The public was informed in the
November 29 proposed rule that those
proposed definitions should be used as
they evaluate the clarifying changes that
were proposed in the November 29
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
proposed rule, and was given ample
opportunity to review and comment on
those proposed definitions. The April
16 (initial implementation) final rule
that includes the definitions for these
terms was informed by such public
comments. The definitions of ‘‘part’’
and ‘‘component’’ included in the initial
implementation rule did not
substantively change from what was
originally proposed in the July 15
(framework) rule.
Commenter No. 8 also stated as part
of their rationale that the proposed rule
tries to accomplish far too much at one
time. BIS acknowledges that the
proposed rule was large. However, the
proposed rule clearly identified the
proposed changes and the rationale for
the various clarifying changes to ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components.’’ The public,
including all potentially affected
industries, was given adequate notice to
review the proposed changes and
submit comments. Certain specific
examples were provided by
commenters, such as Commenter No. 6
that noted in certain places the
importance of the use of ‘‘and’’ or ‘‘or’’
as it related to certain technology
ECCNs. BIS made clarifying changes to
certain technology ECCNs as a result of
these comments regarding ‘‘and’’ or
‘‘or.’’ The specific technology ECCNs
that were revised to address the ‘‘and’’
or ‘‘or’’ issue are discussed elsewhere in
this rule under the specific ECCNs.
Over time if the public identifies
additional entries where changes should
be made to ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components,’’
BIS may make additional clarifications
to such controls, including
implementation of multilateral export
control regime changes, if approved by
the relevant regime.
Commenter No. 8 also opposed these
changes, asserting that these changes
will cost exporters substantially more
time to evaluate whether the numerous
additions of ‘‘parts’’ or ‘‘components’’
will change the scope of an ECCN in a
material way for their operations. This
commenter noted that a substantial
amount of time will also be required for
exporters to evaluate the numerous
inherent ambiguities the additions
create in given ECCNs. BIS does not
agree that the addition of ‘‘part’’ or
‘‘component’’ references by this rule
will require exporters to spend
substantially more time to determine the
scope of the potentially relevant ECCN.
Interested members of the public had
adequate notice to review the proposed
changes and submit comments as the
November 29 proposed rule included a
60-day public comment review period.
The preamble to the rule also identified
changes to ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
and provided a considerable amount of
detail regarding what was changing and
why. Based on the comments received,
BIS and the other agencies as mentioned
above conducted a review of all the
‘‘parts’’ and ’’ components’’ changes,
which resulted in a significant scaling
back of the ‘‘parts’’ changes. The
proposed rule and the comments
received along with the subsequent U.S.
Government review led to a better final
rule that more clearly achieves the
stated objectives for the conforming
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ changes.
As noted earlier, exporters and any
other affected party may also submit
additional suggestions for clarifications
to the CCL at any time, so if in the future
someone wishes to submit suggestions
for further clarifying the use of ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components,’’ they may do that at
any time consistent with § 756.1(a)(1) of
the EAR.
Commenter No. 8 also requested that
BIS publish several proposed rules
proposing ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ to
be evaluated for each industry or related
ECCNs. This commenter suggested that
one option would be to propose ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components’’ rules for fewer
ECCNs at a time, and possibly only
pertaining to similar products or
industries, so that BIS can be more
confident that exporters will have
identified and evaluated any
unintended scope changes and
ambiguities that may arise. BIS does not
believe that such an approach is
warranted based on the reasons noted
above.
Commenter No. 8 also questioned
BIS’s premise that these changes were
limited to making clarifications to the
CCL. This commenter argued that
references to ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’
will significantly change the scope of
many well established ECCNs. This
commenter disputed BIS’s assertion that
the addition of the term ‘‘parts’’ or
‘‘components’’ to numerous ECCNs, to
ensure they include both terms, will not
change the CCL substantively. BIS
stated in the November 29 proposed
rule that one of the objectives was to not
change the scope of the ECCNs. As a
result of this concern raised by
Commenter No. 8, BIS and the other
agencies reevaluated the ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ changes and were able to
identify a large number of ECCNs where
the ‘‘parts’’ additions were not needed,
and thus are not being implemented in
this final rule. This change also
addresses the clarity issues raised by
Commenter No. 8. This reevaluation
confirmed that the remaining ECCNs
included in this rule where ‘‘parts’’ are
being added need ‘‘parts’’ to be added
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
in order to maintain the intended scope
of control.
However, Commenter No. 8 also
argued that ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’
cover very different things, so BIS
cannot interpret them interchangeably.
The commenter noted that even if BIS
sometimes interprets the terms ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components’’ interchangeably, the
new proposed definitions of those terms
describe very different items and will,
therefore, require that those terms cover
different items. To add one or the other
of those terms to an ECCN in which it
does not currently appear will
dramatically change the scope and
coverage of the ECCN. BIS agrees that
the terms ‘‘part’’ and ‘‘component’’
under the new definitions will be
distinct. Prior to the addition of a
definition for ‘‘part’’ and ‘‘component’’
by the initial implementation rule, BIS
had not used the same level of
specificity in interpreting the scope of
the undefined terms parts and
components as used on the CCL. If the
entry used the term ‘‘part,’’ BIS typically
also interpreted the entry to extend to
components. Similarly, when the entry
used the term ‘‘components,’’ BIS in the
context of certain entries interpreted
those entries to extend also to parts.
More importantly, because the terms
part and component were not defined,
this was not perceived as an issue.
However, now that the two terms are
defined, and as indicated in the
comment cover different commodities,
there is a need to specify in the context
of each ECCN what was intended.
Commenter No. 8 also argued that
treating ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ as
interchangeable is counter to the ECR
goal of harmonizing terms and concepts
across the USML and CCL. This
commenter noted that the USML
maintains separate definitions of ‘‘part’’
and ‘‘component.’’ Because one of the
goals of export control reform is to
harmonize terms and concepts across
regulatory regimes, the notion that
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ are
‘‘interchangeable’’ terms in the EAR will
potentially create confusion and
drafting problems as items move from
the USML to CCL, or as well as when
the planned consolidation of the two
control lists eventually occurs. BIS does
not agree that treating the undefined
terms ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ as
interchangeable is counter to the ECR
goal of harmonizing terms and concepts
across the USML and CCL. BIS is
making the changes as part of the larger
effort to begin the harmonization
between the EAR and the ITAR of key
terms. If BIS did not make the changes,
then ‘‘parts’’ that are within the scope
of the word ‘‘components’’ throughout
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
61879
the CCL would become decontrolled
once the EAR adopted in Part 772 the
ITAR’s definition of ‘‘part.’’ Thus, this
conforming change will bring the non‘‘600 series’’ into alignment with the
structure of both the ITAR and the ‘‘600
series’’ ECCNs. As noted above,
Commenters No. 6 and 7 view the
greater specificity as a benefit to
exporters, so although these ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ changes are integral to
the larger USML-to-CCL process now
under way under the ECR Initiative,
these changes will also make the overall
CCL clearer.
Commenter No. 8 also noted that
adding one term or another to an
ECCN’s heading as a matter of course to
ensure the heading includes both terms
will inevitably create new ambiguities
in interpreting an ECCN. BIS clearly
described the intent of these changes in
the proposed rule and then requested
the public to review each of these
changes and to identify any changes that
either were not consistent with how
they interpret the scope of these ECCNs
or created any perceived ambiguity. BIS
received comments on this issue that
related to ECCNs 1C007, 2A292 and
6A992, 2B116, and 3A001 and analyzed
them as follows:
ECCN 1C007. Commenter No. 7
suggested BIS replace ‘‘components’’ in
1C007 with the term ‘‘ingredients,’’
which the commenter thought makes
more sense in this materials category.
BIS did not propose this change in the
November 29 rule, but understands the
rationale for the suggestion. However,
BIS is addressing the commenter’s
suggestion by not adding quotes around
the term components in 1C007.e. BIS is
not adding quotes around the reference
to ‘‘components’’ in 1C007.e, because
the controls are for ‘‘carbon and
nitrogen components,’’ which is
interpreted as a single term for purposes
of 1C007.e, in this final rule. This is
similar to the rationale provided below
for why quotes are not being used in
ECCNs 3A001.b, 3A982 and 3D982 in
this final rule.
ECCNs 2A292 and 6A992. BIS
received comments from Commenter
No. 8 in response to the proposed
changes to the ‘‘unit’’ paragraph in
ECCNs 2A292 and 6A992. However, as
noted elsewhere in this final rule, BIS
is not implementing the proposed
changes to the ‘‘unit’’ paragraphs
because this final rule is removing the
‘‘unit’’ paragraph from all ECCNs on the
CCL as part of the effort to simplify the
shipping tolerance provisions under the
EAR that are also being implemented in
this final rule. For these reasons, BIS is
not implementing the changes suggested
in the comments to 2A292 and 6A992.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
ECCN 2B116. Commenter No. 8 noted
a specific ECCN example (2B116) as a
basis for their concern regarding the use
of ‘‘parts.’’ This commenter noted that
the November 29 rule proposed to add
‘‘parts’’ to 2B116, which currently
covers only ‘‘components’’ for relevant
vibration test systems. This commenter
was concerned that none of items listed
in 2B116, however, would likely be
considered a ‘‘part’’ under the new
definition. This commenter believed
that if implemented, exporters would
then be left with uncertainty as to
whether an item that could be
considered a ‘‘part’’ of a covered
vibration system is controlled. BIS does
not believe any changes for clarity need
to be made for 2B116. The subsequent
review conducted by the U.S.
Government of the ‘‘parts’’ changes
determined in the context of 2B116 that
‘‘parts’’ is needed in order to maintain
the intended scope of control. Moreover,
BIS believes with ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ appearing at the end of the
entry, there should be no confusion as
to what is controlled because only the
items listed are controlled. This
interpretation also aligns with the
original Missile Technology Control
Regime (MTCR) text and interpretation
regarding the scope of this entry.
Therefore, for the reasons noted above,
BIS is implementing the changes, as
proposed; in this final rule.
ECCN 3A001. Commenter No. 8 also
noted ECCN 3A001.c as an example of
their specific concerns about the use of
‘‘parts.’’ This commenter thought this
change would result in new compliance
obligations for companies that deal in
less complex elements (‘‘parts’’) of a
covered wave device. The subsequent
review conducted by the U.S.
Government of the ‘‘parts’’ changes
determined in the context of 3A001 that
‘‘parts’’ is not needed in order to
maintain the current scope of control.
Therefore, BIS is not implementing this
change to 3A001 and to all other ECCNs
where the subsequent review
determined ‘‘parts’’ was not needed in
order to maintain the current scope of
control.
Commenter No. 8 also noted that the
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ changes are
not consistent with multilateral regime
control lists. This commenter asserted
the proposed rule makes changes to
many ECCNs that are governed by
multilateral export control regimes,
including WA, which BIS acknowledges
is a correct statement. Commenter No. 8
indicated that adding ‘‘parts’’ to CCL
headings represents a significant change
and marked expansion of scope of the
current entries and is not consistent
with specific WA language. This
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
commenter believed the U.S.
Government should submit this change
to the Wassenaar Arrangement. This
commenter believes these proposed
changes will require consent of WA
members before they can be made. The
same is true with other proposed
changes to other CCL entries that are
based on other multilateral regimes,
such as the Australia Group (AG). This
commenter encouraged BIS to consult
with the other regime members before
these changes are made because failing
to do so could lead to a different scope
of coverage in the U.S.
The United States is a member of the
four major multilateral export control
regimes. In accordance with the terms of
membership of these regimes, the CCL
is consistent with the control lists used
by the respective multilateral export
control regimes, although there is
national discretion in how those lists
are implemented in the various member
countries’ controls. BIS’s interpretation
of the usage of the term ‘‘parts,’’ which
informed the proposed changes
included in the November 29 proposed
rule, was that ‘‘parts’’ generally fall
under ‘‘components’’ for the typical WA
control text. BIS applies this same
interpretation to the other multilateral
control lists, which also informed the
changes included in the November 29
proposed rule. However, based on the
concerns raised by Commenter No. 8,
the U.S. Government, including the
Department of State, conducted an
additional review of the ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ changes that were
included in the November 29 rule. This
review, as noted above, resulted in a
significant reduction in the number of
ECCNs where ‘‘parts’’ is added in this
final rule, in particular for many of the
Wassenaar Arrangement-based ECCNs.
In the remaining ECCNs where ‘‘parts’’
is being added, the U.S. Government has
determined that the intent in the context
of these ECCNs, including the
multilateral based ECCNs, is that
‘‘parts’’ is needed in order to maintain
the current scope of control.
In the future, if one of the respective
multilateral regimes specifies under one
of the multilateral-based entries that
such entries are intended to only reach
‘‘components’’ or some other
formulation, BIS will implement those
changes to the respective entries on the
CCL consistent with the U.S.
Government’s multilateral regime
commitments.
The November 29 rule proposed
changes implemented in this final rule
revise one hundred and one ECCNs on
the CCL where the term ‘‘parts’’ or
‘‘components’’ is used, as identified and
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
described in the paragraphs below in
more detail.
‘‘Parts’’ is used, but ‘‘specially
designed’’ ‘‘components’’ or
‘components’ as follows’’ is intended or
‘‘specially designed’’ ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ is intended. In three
ECCNs, the term ‘‘parts’’ is used, but the
term ‘‘specially designed’’
‘‘components’’ is intended. This final
rule removes the term ‘‘parts’’ and
replaces it with the terms ‘‘specially
designed’’ ‘‘components’’ in the
following three ECCNs: 0A979, 3A980,
and 3A981. This rule removes the term
‘‘part’’ and replaces it with the terms
‘‘specially designed’’ ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ in the following four
ECCNs: 0A982, 0A983, 0A985, and
0A986. In ECCNs 0A984 and 0A987, the
term ‘‘parts’’ is used, but the term
‘‘components’’ or ‘‘ ‘‘components’’ as
follows’’ is intended. This rule removes
the term ‘‘parts’’ and replaces it with the
term ‘‘components’’ or ‘‘ ‘‘components’’
as follows’’ in these ECCNs. BIS is
implementing these changes, as
proposed, in this final rule.
The hybrid term ‘‘component parts’’ is
used, but ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ is
intended. In certain ECCNs, the hybrid
undefined term ‘‘component parts’’ is
used, but the intent is ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components.’’ This final rule changes
ECCN 3A201 to bring its meaning into
alignment with this intent by changing
‘‘component parts’’ to ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components.’’ BIS is implementing
these changes, as proposed, in this final
rule. This same issue appears in some
of the ‘‘xY018’’ ECCNs on the CCL, but
given that those ECCNs will be
addressed in the ongoing USML-to-CCL
process as those items in the ‘‘xY018’’
ECCNs are moved to the ‘‘600 series’’
ECCNs, the November 29 proposed rule
did not propose making changes to
those ‘‘xY018’’ entries.
‘‘Parts’’ or ‘‘components’’ is used, but
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ is intended.
Because the terms ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ are currently used
interchangeably in the context of several
entries on the CCL, maintaining current
controls while adopting definitions for
these words requires the use of both
words in each of the seventy-two ECCNs
where one of those terms is currently
used but both terms are intended. This
will ensure that existing ECCNs
maintain the same controls that existed
when the terms were undefined, so that
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ will
encompass all subsidiary elements of a
complete system in the context of these
ECCNs. The November 29 rule proposed
adding ‘‘parts’’ or ‘‘components’’ to one
hundred and forty-six ECCNs, but after
further review conducted by the U.S.
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM

pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
Government, BIS determined only
seventy-two ECCNs needed ‘‘parts’’ or
‘‘components’’ added in order to
maintain the current scope of control.
The significant reduction in the number
of these changes is from the reduction
in the number of ECCNs where ‘‘parts’’
is being added in this final rule. BIS, in
consultation with the other agencies and
multilateral export control regimes,
intends to revise these entries in the
future to further refine the CCL controls,
but BIS has determined the changes
being implemented in this final rule are
the only ones needed at this time and
are consistent with the current
multilateral regime control lists.
This final rule will insert ‘‘parts’’ and
add quotation marks in the following
sixty-four ECCNs (in the November 29
proposed rule ‘‘parts’’ was to be added
in one hundred and twenty-seven
ECCNs): 1A001, 1A002, 1A102, 1A995,
1B003, 1B101, 1B102, 1B115, 1B117,
1B118, 1B119, 1C117, 2A991, 2B109,
2B116, 2B229, 2B351, 2B352, 2B992,
2B998, 2D351, 3A101, 3A201, 3A292,
3A999, 3B991, 3B992, 3D991, 3E982,

9B002, 9B009, 9B115, 9B116 and 9E003.
BIS is implementing these changes as
proposed, except for the following sixtythree ECCNs: 1A004, 1A005, 1A006,
1A008, 1B001,1C007, 1C230, 2A001
(although BIS is adding a new Note to
2A001.a to clarify this paragraph
includes a control on roller bearing and
roller elements ‘‘specially designed’’ for
the items specified therein), 2B001, (not
implemented for heading), 2B003,
2B004, 2B005, 3A001, 3A003, 3A233,
3A982, 3A991, 3B001, 3B002, 3D982,
3E001, 3E003, 4A001, 4A003, 4A004,
5A001, 5B001, 5E001, 5A002, 5A992,

9B003, 9B010, and 9D004 (not
implemented for 9D004.e) that will not
be changed based on the subsequent
U.S. Government review of the ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components’’ changes, in this final
rule.
ECCN 3A001. After further review of
the proposed changes, including a
review of input received from BIS’s
TACs, BIS decided to not add quotes
around the first reference to
‘‘components’’ in the phrase ‘‘electronic
components’’ in the heading of ECCN
3A001 to avoid creating confusion over
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
the meaning of the phrase. ‘‘Electronic
components;’’ although undefined; is
interpreted as a single term for purposes
of 3A001. For similar reasons, BIS is not
adding quotes around the reference to
‘‘components’’ in 3A001.b because the
controls are for microwave or millimeter
wave components, which is interpreted
as a single term for purposes of 3A001.b,
as well as the references to the phrase
microwave or millimeter wave
components in the headings of ECCNs
3A982 and 3D982 in this final rule.
This final rule inserts ‘‘components’’
and adds quotation marks in the
following eight ECCNs: 2A994, 2B201,
5A980, 6A203, 6B995, 8A992, 9A106,
and 9A991. In this final rule, BIS is
implementing these changes as
proposed, except 2A292, 2B001 (in the
heading), and 9A012 will not be
changed based on the subsequent U.S.
Government review of the ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ changes included in the
November 29 rule.
This final rule will add quotation
marks to the existing term
‘‘components’’ in the following fifty-two
ECCNs: 1A004, 1A005, 1A006, 1A008,
1B001, 1C007, 2A001, 2B003, 2B004,
3A003, 3B001, 3B002, 3E001, 4A001,
4A003, 4A004, introductory text of Note
1, the N.B.2 and Note 2 that
immediately follows the Category 5 Part
1—Telecommunications, 5A001, 5A002,
5A992, 5B001, 5E001, 6A001, 6A002,
6A003, 6A004, 6A005, 6A006, 6A008,
6A992, 6A995, 6A996, 6A998, 6B008,
6D001, 7A001, 7A002, 7A003, 7A004,
7A005, 7A008, 7E001, 7E002, 9A002,
9A003, 9A005, 9A006, 9A008, 9B003,
9B010, 9A012, 9D003 and 9E003.
This final rule will reposition the
term ‘‘parts’’ before ‘‘components’’ and
will add quotation marks to the existing
terms ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ in the
following ten ECCNs: 1C002, 2A983,
2A984, 3A001, 4A994, 7A994, 9A106,
9A991, 9B990, and 9E003. BIS is
implementing these changes, as
proposed, in this final rule, except
1A004, 3A001, and 6A992 will not be
changed based on the subsequent U.S.
Government review of the ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ changes included in the
November 29 rule.
ECCN 1C350 and 1C355. After further
review of the proposed changes to
ECCNs 1C350 and 1C355, including
reviewing input received from BIS’s
TACs, BIS decided to not add the term
‘‘parts’’ to ECCNs 1C350 and 1C355. BIS
decided it would be better to replace the
term ‘‘components’’ in these two ECCNs
with the alternative term ‘‘ingredients.’’
This change will more clearly reflect the
intent of these two ECCNs and avoid
potential confusion with the new
definition of ‘‘component.’’

ECCN 9E003. Commenter No. 6 noted
that although they supported the
addition of the conforming changes for
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components,’’ for certain
technology entries using ‘‘and’’ instead
of ‘‘or’’ between ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ may inadvertently allow
the release of certain technology. This
commenter noted that the proposed
rules used the phrases ‘‘parts’’ or
‘‘components’’ and ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ interchangeably. The
commenter further asserted that there
are cases where this may cause some
readers to read the control as being
narrower than intended, specifically in
ECCNs 9E003.a.7, 9E003.a.8, and
9E003.c. In the case of the proposed
wording for 9E003.a.7, Commenter No.
6 asserted this could be interpreted to
mean that the ‘‘technology’’ is
‘‘required’’ only if it applies to both
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’, which is
narrower than the ‘‘technology’’ for
either item. This commenter
recommended using ‘‘or’’ in these three
items paragraphs of 9E003. However, as
a result of this comment, BIS also
evaluated the other entries where
conforming changes for ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ were being made and
determined that ‘‘and’’ should also be
replaced with ‘‘or’’ in the following two
ECCNs: 2B201 note to .a, and 9B009
heading.
(C) Clarification of the Use of the Term
‘‘assemblies’’ on the CCL as
Components
In the ‘‘component’’ definition added
to the EAR in the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule, it states that
‘‘components are also commonly
referred to as assemblies. For purposes
of this definition, an assembly and a
component are the same.’’ BIS has
reviewed the CCL to ensure the term
‘‘assemblies’’ is not being used
redundantly on the CCL. This review
identified five ECCNs (5A991, 9A002,
9A003, 9B002, and 9D004) where the
terms ‘‘assemblies’’ and ‘‘components’’
are being used in the same ECCN, but
where the term ‘‘assemblies’’ should be
removed to avoid the incorrect
interpretation that assemblies are
different from components. This final
rule adds the term ‘‘electronic’’ before
the term ‘‘assemblies’’ in 5A991 under
‘‘items’’ paragraphs (c.1) and (g) to
distinguish the particular type of
assembly that is intended to be
controlled under this entry. As was
noted in the November 29 proposed
rule, with regard to ECCNs 9A002,
9A003, 9B002, and 9D004, the U.S.
Government intends to develop a
proposal to submit to the Wassenaar
Arrangement that would propose the
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
removal of the term ‘‘assemblies’’ from
these ECCNs or, in the alternative,
propose the addition of more
descriptive terms, such as ‘‘electronic’’
to clarify the scope of those other
multilateral-based ECCNs.
This final rule removes reference to
the term ‘‘assemblies’’ in ECCN 6A998
and adds the term ‘‘components’’ in its
place. As described above, this rule also
adds the term ‘‘parts’’ to 6A998. BIS is
implementing these changes as
proposed, with the one exception, in
this final rule.

(D) Revisions to the Following ECCNs,
Including Changes Made as a Result of
Comments
ECCN 1A005. Commenter No. 7 noted
that ‘‘specially designed’’ does not
consistently appear in quotation marks,
as exemplified by 1A005. This
commenter believes that to conform to
the new definition of ‘‘specially
designed’’ added in the initial
implementation rule, the term should be
in quotes in 1A005 and wherever else
the term ‘‘specially designed’’ is used on
the CCL. BIS agrees and is adding
quotes wherever the term ‘‘specially
designed’’ is used on the CCL in this
final rule.
ECCN 1B001. Commenter No. 7
requested that BIS clarify in this final
rule whether the July 15 (framework)
rule proposed definition of
‘‘accessories’’ applies to 1B001 and to
other places it is used on the CCL. This
commenter also requested that BIS add
quotation marks around ‘‘accessories’’
in 1B001 and wherever else on the CCL
the term ‘‘accessories’’ is used. The
definition for ‘‘accessories’’ was added
to the EAR in the initial implementation
rule, and will apply to 1B001 and
wherever the term ‘‘accessories’’ is used
on the CCL. Therefore, BIS in this final
rule accepts these comments and is
adding quotation marks to wherever the
term ‘‘accessories’’ is used in this rule.
Note that ‘‘accessories’’ and
‘‘attachments’’ are defined as separate
terms in part 772, but the definition is
the same for ‘‘accessories’’ and
‘‘attachments’’ and each definition cross
references the other. For the same
reason that BIS is adding quotation
marks around ‘‘accessories,’’ BIS is also
adding quotation marks around
‘‘attachments’’ in this final rule.
ECCN 1C996. This final rule will
amend 1C996 by revising the heading to
add the phrase ‘‘not controlled by
1C006,’’ to clarify the scope of 1C996 as
it relates to 1C006. BIS did not receive
any comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.

ECCN 2A994. As an additional
clarification to existing controls,
Commenter No. 4 suggested adding an
ECCN-specific definition of ‘‘portable
electric generator’’ to 2A994. This
commenter was aware of past advisory
opinion guidance provided by BIS that
had interpreted the term ‘‘portable
electric generator’’ for purposes of
2A994. BIS is aware of this past
advisory opinion and agrees it would be
beneficial to add an ECCN-specific
definition based on that previously
provided guidance. This new ECCNspecific definition added by this final
rule makes it clear that the generators
that are in 2A994 are portable—5,000
lbs or less on wheels or transportable in
a 21⁄2 ton truck without a special set up
requirement.
ECCN 2B350. This final rule amends
2B350 by revising the ‘‘Related
Definitions’’ paragraph in the List of
Items Controlled section to indicate for
purposes of this entry that the term
‘chemical warfare agents’ includes those
agents ‘‘subject to the ITAR’’ (see 22
CFR parts 120 through 130). In addition,
this rule adds a note at the end of the
‘‘items’’ paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section to provide a
reminder and cross reference to the Note
for exporters, reexporters and
transferors, stating the following: ‘‘See
Categories V and XIV of the United
States Munitions List for all chemicals
that are ‘‘ ‘subject to the ITAR’ (see 22
CFR parts 120 through 130).’’
Commenter No. 8 requested BIS to
specify whether the definition for the
‘‘chemical warfare agents’’ proposed for
2B350 also applies to 1A004 and 2B351.
The 2B350 definition is an ECCNspecific definition, so it does not apply
to 1A004 or 2B351. If the definition
were intended to also apply to other
ECCNs, then adding a definition of
‘‘chemical warfare agents’’ to 772 would
be the appropriate change to make, but
as noted that was not intended in the
November 29 proposed rule.
Commenter No. 8 also indicated the
‘‘chemical warfare agents’’ definition
scope proposed for ECCN 2B350 is not
correct in terms of its reference to USML
categories referenced. Specifically,
Commenter No. 8 was concerned that
proposing that the ITAR-controlled
chemicals are only found in USML
Categories V and XIV is not correct
because such chemicals could
conceptually fall within USML Category
XXI and possibly others. In drafting the
November 29 proposed rule, BIS
consulted with the Department of State
on the appropriate USML categories to
reference in the 2B350 definition. In
reviewing this comment and preparing
this final rule, BIS also consulted with
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
the Department of State. BIS
acknowledges USML Category XXI,
which is a temporary holding category
on the USML, could be applicable, but
USML Category XXI could also be
applicable for any other USML-related
cross reference provided on the CCL.
For this reason, BIS does not add
references to USML category XXI. Based
on the interagency review of this
comment and the draft final rule, no
additional USML categories need to be
added to the ‘chemical warfare agents’
definition in ECCN 2B350. For the
reasons noted above in responding to
the commenter, BIS is implementing
this change, as proposed, in this final
rule.
ECCN 2B996. This final rule amends
2B996 by revising the heading to clarify
that dimensional inspection or
measuring systems or equipment not
controlled by 2B006 or 2B206 are
controlled under this ECCN. Certain
dimensional inspection or measuring
systems or equipment controlled under
2B206 would also be controlled under
2B996. To clarify the relationship
between 2B996 and 2B206, this rule
adds 2B206 to the exclusion in 2B996.
BIS did not receive any comments on
this change, so this change is
implemented, as proposed, in this final
rule.
ECCN 2B999. Commenter No. 1
requested BIS clarify the scope of
2B999.g for fittings. The commenter
asked BIS to clarify whether or not 304
and 316 stainless steel pipe fittings,
which do not fall under 2A292.a, are
classified under 2B999.g. This
commenter noted that currently,
manufacturers have differing
interpretations. Some classify fittings
under 2B999 and others EAR99.
Confusion comes from some thinking
2B999.g includes fittings because
‘‘fittings are simply shorter pieces of
pipe.’’ However, others may classify
fittings as EAR99 because they are not
specified in 2B999.g. Lastly, this
commenter noted that whether the
fittings are EAR99 or 2B999.g the same
license requirements apply. BIS
addressed this commenter’s suggestion
for removing 2B999 elsewhere in this
rule and addressed the request for
clarification here regarding the scope of
2B999.g. BIS confirms here that fittings
are considered part of ‘‘piping’’ for
purposes of 2B999. BIS also adds a new
note to 2B999.g to clarify the scope of
this item.
ECCN 6A002. This final rule revises
the STA (License Exception ‘‘Strategic
Trade Authorization’’) paragraph in the
License Exceptions section, which as
proposed in the November 29 rule and
as implemented in the final rule, is now
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
in its own section called Special
Conditions for License Exception STA.
This final rule removes the phrase, ‘‘to
any of the eight destinations listed in
§ 740.20(c)(2) of the EAR’’ from the end
of the current STA paragraph and adds
it to the introductory text of the STA
paragraph. BIS makes this change to
clarify the 6A002 ‘‘items’’ paragraphs
that are not eligible for License
Exception STA to any of the eight
destinations listed in § 740.20(c)(2). BIS
did not receive any comments on this
change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 6E001 and 6E002. This final
rule removes the term ‘‘equipment’’ and
replaces it with the term ‘‘items’’ in the
‘‘NP’’ and ‘‘RS’’ controls paragraphs in
the License Requirements section of
6E001 and 6E002. This clarification is
made as a conforming change to the new
‘‘equipment’’ definition added in the
April 16 (initial implementation) rule.
The clarification is made because the
‘‘NP’’ and RS’’ items include paragraph
references to other ECCNs that control
items other than equipment and
therefore the broader term ‘‘items’’ is
intended in these two controls
paragraphs in 6E001 and 6E002.
ECCN 8A918. This final rule removes
the marine boilers from 8A918 and
moves these items to two new ‘‘items’’
paragraphs in the List of Items
Controlled section of 8A992. This rule
adds a new ‘‘items’’ paragraph (l) to
8A992 for marine boilers designed to
have any of the characteristics in the
new 8A992.l.1 or .l.2. This rule adds
‘‘items’’ paragraph (m) to 8A992 for
‘‘components,’’ ‘‘parts,’’ ‘‘accessories,’’
and ‘‘attachments’’ for marine boilers
that would be described in 8A992.l.
This rule’s movement of these
commodities from 8A918 to 8A992.l
and .m will remove the Regional
Stability (RS) Column 2 control on these
commodities. The Anti-Terrorism (AT)
and United Nations (UN) controls will
be retained for the commodities moved
to 8A992.l and .m. BIS proposed this
change in the November 29 rule because
these marine boilers do not warrant an
RS control or a separate ECCN entry and
can therefore be added under ECCN
8A992 to be controlled with other types
of marine commodities warranting an
AT control. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCN 9A980. This final rule revises
9A980 by removing the term ‘‘parts’’
from the heading of the ECCN and
adding a new heading note to clarify the
scope of the ECCN. The Crime Control
(CC) parts that would have been
classified under this entry if exported
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
alone are already accounted for on the
CCL and controlled for CC reasons. The
new heading note clarifies that in order
for a vehicle to be classified as a
nonmilitary mobile crime scene
laboratory under ECCN 9A980, the
vehicle must contain one or more
analytical or laboratory items controlled
for Crime Control (CC) reasons on the
CCL, such as items controlled under
ECCN 3A980 or 3A981. This new
heading note does not change the scope
of the ECCN, but clarifies the scope of
this ECCN and the relationship to other
CC ECCNs. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCN 9A991. In reviewing the
conforming changes for ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components,’’ Commenter No. 6 raised
concerns regarding whether the
proposed changes to 9A991.d should be
implemented due to a concern that the
proposed wording may inadvertently
classify some aircraft ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ as EAR99 while an
aircraft is in development. Commenter
No. 6 asserted that under the proposed
wording, the ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’
to be controlled are only those for
‘‘aircraft’’ that meet requirements of
9A991.a or .b. ECCN 9A991.a controls
specific military aircraft, and ECCN
9A991.b controls ‘‘civil aircraft.’’ Prior
to receiving a civil airworthiness
certificate, developmental aircraft do
not meet the definition of ‘‘civil
aircraft’’ in § 772.1 of the EAR. The
commenter stated that it would follow
that ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’
‘‘specially designed’’ for precertification non-military aircraft or in
countries where such certificates are not
granted are not described in 9A991.d,
and barring any other control, would be
classified EAR99. Once the aircraft is
certified, these parts would move to
9A991.d. Commenter No. 6 indicated
they believed this is not the intent of the
control. BIS agrees that this is not the
intent of the control. BIS reviewed this
issue and determined it was better to
revise 9A991.b by replacing the term
‘‘civil aircraft’’ with the term ‘‘aircraft
n.e.s.’’ This revision to 9A991.b would
describe more precisely the scope of the
ECCN and would be consistent with
how BIS now interprets the ECCN.
Aircraft subject to the ITAR will remain
ITAR controlled. Aircraft subject to the
EAR and controlled by ECCN 9A610.a
will continue to be controlled by that
ECCN. Aircraft described in ECCN
9A991.a will continue to be controlled
by that subparagraph. ECCN 9A911.b
will continue to control all other aircraft
at all stages of their development or
PO 00000
Frm 00011

61883
production, and regardless of whether
they have a certification from an
aviation authority. This final rule also
makes a conforming change to the
change in 9A991.b by revising the
regional stability (RS) 1 control in
ECCNs 7D001, 7E001, 7E002, and
7E101. These ECCNs are amended by
removing the term ‘‘civil aircraft’’ and
replacing it with the more accurate
phrase 9A991.b aircraft. This change is
not substantive and is limited to
conforming to the clarification made to
9A991.b and to add greater specificity in
these three RS controls. For additional
clarity, this final rule also adds the
conjunction ‘‘and’’ to the RS control
between the terms ‘‘inertial navigation
system’’ or ‘‘inertial equipment’’ in
7D001, 7E001, 7E002 and 7E101, along
with other clarifying text to the RS
control in 7E101 to clarify the scope of
this RS control by adding the terms
‘‘required’’ and ‘‘specially designed.’’
xY999 ECCNs. Commenter No. 1
suggested BIS remove all xY999 ECCNs
where items controlled are only ATcontrolled. BIS evaluated this change in
drafting the November 29 proposed rule
and considered implementing the
removal of certain xY999 entries in this
final rule. However, in evaluating these
possible removals with the other
agencies involved in the review process
of the November 29 rule, it was
determined that additional analysis is
needed before moving forward with
these removals. This determination also
took into account the minimal impact
that such removals would have, given
that the only xY999 ECCNs under
consideration for removal are those
where the license requirements would
be redundant with EAR99 items. BIS is
still evaluating whether it may be
possible to remove some or all of the
‘‘xY999’’ ECCNs on the CCL that may
have redundant license requirements
with EAR99 items.
(E) Addition of ‘‘Related Controls’’ To
Aid in Classification
Most ECCNs on the CCL contain a
‘‘related controls’’ paragraph in the List
of Items Controlled section that
provides cross references to related
ECCNs to assist the public in classifying
items that are subject to the EAR. In
some ECCNs, the ‘‘related controls’’
paragraph also includes cross-references
to the export controls other U.S.
Government agencies administer.
The November 29 rule proposed
adding a number of additional ‘‘related
controls’’ paragraphs or revising existing
‘‘related controls’’ paragraphs to assist
the public in classifying items. This
final rule implements those changes,
along with certain additional ‘‘related

61884
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
controls’’ changes in response to BIS’s
review of the public comments. In the
November 29 proposed rule, BIS
advised that in responding to the
proposed rule, the public may also
provide suggestions for additional
‘‘related controls’’ that would assist the
public in classifying items. This final
rule is revising the ‘‘related controls’’
paragraphs in the following twelve
ECCNs: 1A985, 1B117, 1B118, 1B119,
1B225, 1C117, 1C233, 2B105, 2B116,
3A230, 7A103 and 9B009 that were
proposed in the November 29 rule. In
addition, as a result of the review of
public comments, this final rule is also
revising the ‘‘related controls’’
paragraphs in the following three
ECCNs: 2A226, 2A292 and 2B350 as
follows:
ECCN 2A226. Commenter No. 9
suggested adding ECCN 2B999 to the
‘‘related controls’’ paragraph of 2A226.
This commenter noted that 2A226
references other valve ECCNs (2A292
and 2B350), but has no reference to
2B999. BIS agrees that adding 2B999
would be helpful, so this final rule is
implementing this change.
ECCN 2A292. Commenter No. 9
suggested adding ECCNs 2B350 and
2B999 to the ‘‘related controls’’
paragraph of 2A292. This commenter
noted 2A292 references to one other
valve ECCN (2A226), but has no
reference to 2B350 or 2B999. BIS agrees
that adding 2B350 and 2B999 would be
helpful, so this final rule is
implementing this change.
ECCN 2B350. Commenter No. 9
suggested adding ECCNs to the ‘‘related
controls’’ paragraph of ECCN 2B350
instead of using N/A. The commenter
was concerned that the use of ‘‘N/A’’
may lead you to mistakenly conclude
that there are no applicable technology
ECCNs or any other potential valve
ECCNs. BIS agrees that adding ECCNs
2A226, 2A292, 2A293, 2B231 and
2B999 to the ‘‘related controls’’
paragraph of 2B350 would be helpful, so
this final rule is implementing this
change.
ECCN 2B999. Commenter No. 9
suggested adding ECCNs 2A226 and
2A292 to the ‘‘related controls’’ of
2B999. This commenter noted that
2B999 refers to a number of other
ECCNs, including 2B350, but it does not
refer to the other valve ECCNs (2A226
and 2A292). BIS does not accept this
change because it is clear within the
context of this ECCN 2B999 that the
only valves that are controlled are those
referenced in the long list of ‘‘items.’’
BIS is also still evaluating whether it
may be possible to remove 2B999, along
with similar ‘‘xY999’’ ECCNs on the
CCL that have redundant license
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
requirements with EAR99 items.
Additional analysis is needed, however,
before any such ‘‘xY999’’ ECCNs can be
removed from the CCL, as noted above.
Commenter No. 9 also suggested BIS
conduct a review of all the ‘‘related
controls’’ on the CCL to identify
additional changes to make and address
inconsistencies. This commenter
recommended BIS review the ‘‘related
controls’’ section of each ECCN in
Groups A, B or C to identify all related
ECCNs. The ‘‘related controls’’ then
should be updated accordingly to
include similar ECCNs of Groups A, B
or C as well as the applicable software
and technology ECCNs of Groups D and
E. BIS agrees that regular review of the
‘‘related controls’’ paragraphs should be
conducted. BIS has already conducted a
review of all the ‘‘related controls’’
paragraphs on the CCL, and these are
the changes that were proposed in the
November 29 rule. In evaluating the
comments received in response to the
November 29 proposed rule, BIS also
identified additional ‘‘related controls’’
changes that are being implemented in
this final rule, as described above for
ECCNs 2A226, 2A292, and 2B350. BIS
will continue conducting regular
reviews of the ‘‘related controls’’
paragraphs and make updates as
necessary on the CCL. Note, however,
that although the ‘‘related controls’’
paragraphs are a useful tool for
classifying related items under the CCL,
the ‘‘related controls’’ paragraphs are
not exhaustive or determinative of an
item’s control status. They are not part
of the control text for a specific ECCN.
Related controls are a method of
identifying other ECCN entries that may
be applicable to a particular item,
including highlighting in certain cases
when a related item may be subject to
the exclusive jurisdiction of another
agency of the U.S. Government.
However, to determine whether an item
is classified under another entry on the
CCL or another control list, such as the
Nuclear Trigger List or the United States
Munitions List (USML), a person
classifying an item should review the
other ECCN or other control lists as
applicable to determine the
jurisdictional and classification status of
a particular item.
Supplement No. 4 to part 774—
Commerce Control List Order of
Review—was added to the EAR in the
initial implementation rule, and
identifies the proper order of review for
reviewing the CCL.
ECCNs 7A005 and 7A994. This final
rule also revises the ‘‘related controls’’
paragraphs in ECCNs 7A005 and 7A994
and includes the substance of the
amended related control paragraph as a
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4701

new ‘‘license requirement note’’ in
7A994. This change will clarify the
relationship between 7A005 and 7A994
and provide guidance on the
appropriate classification for GPS
equipment. The added text in 7A005
and 7A994 will alert persons classifying
GPS items that ‘‘typically commercially
available GPS do not employ encryption
or adaptive antenna and are classified as
7A994.’’ BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
(F) Addition of the Term ‘‘subject to the
ITAR’’ to the EAR.
This final rule adds the term ‘‘subject
to the ITAR’’ to § 772.1 (Definitions of
terms as used in the EAR). This defined
term is added to parallel the use of the
term ‘‘subject to the EAR’’ that is
commonly used in the EAR, along with
simplifying many of the references to
the export jurisdiction of the
Department of State that are included in
the EAR. The vast majority of these
references to the export control
jurisdiction of the Department of State
are on the CCL. This final rule will
therefore add the following definition of
‘‘subject to the ITAR’’ in § 772.1:
A term used in the EAR to describe
those commodities, software,
technology (e.g., technical data) and
defense services over which the U.S.
Department of State, Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls (DDTC)
exercises regulatory jurisdiction under
the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) (see 22 CFR 120–
130).
This final rule makes conforming
changes to the rest of the EAR,
including several ECCNs and §§ 734.4
(De minimis U.S. content), 734.6
(Assistance available from BIS for
determining licensing and other
requirements), and 740.6 (Technology
and software under restriction (TSR)),
by adding ‘‘subject to the ITAR’’ where
the export control jurisdiction of the
Department of State is referenced. In
addition to making the conforming
change in § 734.6, this rule revises the
references to the ITAR to clarify that, in
order to determine whether an item is
‘‘subject to the ITAR,’’ you should
review the ITAR’s United States
Munitions List (see 22 CFR §§ 120.6 and
121.1). If the item is within the scope of
a USML category, then the item is a
defense article subject to the ITAR. If it
is not, then it is not subject to the ITAR.
The revised text also clarifies that you
may also submit a request to the
Department of State, Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls, for a formal
jurisdictional determination regarding
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
the commodity, software, technology, or
activity at issue (see 22 CFR § 120.4).
BIS did not receive any comments on
this change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.

(H) Addition of Paragraph To Clarify the
Jurisdiction of Items Subject to the EAR
When Sold, Leased or Loaned by the
Department of Defense to a Foreign
Country or International Organization
Under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS)
Program
This final rule adds a new paragraph
(b)(1)(vi) to § 734.3, which identifies
items subject to the EAR. This new
paragraph was not proposed in the
November 29 rule, but the change is
being made in this final rule as a
clarification to the addition of § 734.3(e)
in the initial implementation final rule
published on April 16, 2013. While not
effective until October 15, 2013,
§ 734.3(e) specifies that items subject to
the EAR may be exported, reexported, or
transferred in country under licenses,
agreements, or other approvals from the
Department of State’s Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls pursuant to
§§ 120.5(b) and 126.6(c) of the
International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR 120.5(b)
and 126.6(c)) or under actions made by
the Department of State’s Office of
Regional Security and Arms Transfers.
New paragraph (b)(1)(vi) clarifies that
items that would otherwise be subject to
the EAR and that are sold, leased or
loaned by the Department of Defense to
a foreign country or international
organization under the Foreign Military
Sales (FMS) Program of the Arms Export
Control Act, pursuant to a Letter of Offer
and Acceptance (LOA) authorizing such
transfers, are not ‘‘subject to the EAR’’
but rather, are subject to the authority of
the Arms Export Control Act. New
paragraph (b)(1)(vi) clarifies that the
terms and conditions of the LOA would
govern the export, reexport, or other
transfer of the items. Lastly, because the
heading for new paragraph (b)(1)(vi)
refers to the Department of Defense
(DoD) and Department of State, BIS is
adding a cross reference from new
paragraph (b)(1)(vi) to paragraph
(b)(1)(i), along with a cross reference
from (b)(1)(i) to (b)(1)(vi).
(I) Corrections and Minor Clarifications
to Existing CCL Text and Proposed Text
Included in the November 29 Proposed
Rule
The November 29 rule also included
minor corrections and clarifications to
the CCL, such as to correct certain
misspellings and typographical errors
and make other minor updates to the
CCL. BIS did not receive any comments
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
on these changes, so BIS is
implementing these changes, as
proposed, in this final rule for the
following two ECCNs: 6C992 and
9B002.
In the public comments received in
response to the November 29 rule, the
public identified some additional
corrections or minor clarifications that
should be made to existing CCL text or
to some of the proposed text included
in the November 29 rule. BIS has
accepted some of these suggested
changes, so BIS is implementing these
changes in this final rule for the
following ECCNs: 1C002 (to correct a
formatting error in 1C002.c.1.a where
‘‘109’’ was incorrectly proposed as
‘‘109’’); 2B352 (to correct a formatting
error in 2B352.d.2 where ‘‘(0.2 m2)’’ was
incorrectly proposed as ‘‘(0.2 m2)’’);
9E003 (to insert an omitted ‘‘Related
Controls) paragraph number (2)’’); and
1A002 (to remove an extra ‘‘and’’ that
was not needed and modify the
punctuation).
Commenter No. 8 suggested that the
heading of 1A002 should also end in the
word ‘‘therefor.’’ BIS does not accept
this change because the current entry is
consistent with the Wassenaar
Arrangement WA dual-use list entry
1.A.2. In addition, the term is not
needed in the context of this entry.
ECCN 5A991 (and similar changes to
5A001, 6A008 and 7A005). This rule
changes the spelling of the word
‘‘antennae’’ in the ‘‘items’’ paragraph (f)
of 5A991. This term should be spelled
as ‘‘antennas’’ to reflect common
American English usage in this ECCN.
BIS also accepted Commenter No. 8’s
suggestion that a review should be
conducted of the entire CCL to identify
any additional places where this same
issue occurs and standardize this usage.
BIS identified five other references on
the CCL where this correction needs to
be made: ECCN 5A001.d and the Note
to 5A001.d; ECCN 6A008 in the
decontrol note for (PAR), 6A008.e; and
ECCN 7A005 in the Note to 7A005.b.
This final rule is implementing these
additional five corrections to address
this incorrect word usage on the CCL.
This final rule does not implement
the related change to the ‘‘unit’’
paragraph of 5A001 because the ‘‘unit’’
paragraph will no longer be used in
ECCNs under the simplified structure
being implemented in this rule for
calculating shipping tolerances under
the EAR. As described below, this final
rule removes all ‘‘unit’’ paragraphs from
the CCL, so the proposed change to the
‘‘unit’’ paragraph of 5A001 is no longer
required, along with any proposed
changes to the ‘‘unit’’ paragraph that
was included in the November 29 rule.

(2) Changes To Conform the CCL to the
Multilateral Export Control Regime
Control Lists and Previous Amendments
to the EAR
This final rule is also making the
following changes to conform the CCL
to the multilateral export control regime
control lists and to conform the CCL to
the intent of past amendments to the
EAR. These are cases where a previous
amendment to the EAR was intended to
effect a change, but the change was not
implemented as intended, or where a
conforming change should have been
made to the CCL, but was inadvertently
not made. In general, the public did not
raise specific concerns regarding the
changes described under this heading
(2). The comments that were received
highlighted additional specific
examples that also warranted attention
in the final rule: Commenter No. 8, as
was discussed above under heading
(1)(B)(Clarifying the use of the terms
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ on the CCL),
raised a concern that the proposed
changes were not consistent with the
multilateral export control regimes and
that a regime change proposal would
need to be approved before BIS
implemented such changes to
multilateral-based ECCNs, such as those
controlled by the Wassenaar
Arrangement. BIS does not agree with
this comment for the reasons discussed
above under heading (1)(B). BIS
considered discussing these two
comments here, but because the ‘‘parts’’
and ‘‘components’’ changes were
described above under heading (1)(B),
BIS decided to also include these two
comments under the earlier discussion
to group them with the other comments
and BIS responses on the ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ changes being
implemented in this final rule.
(A) Conforming Changes for Limitations
on Use of TSR for Wassenaar Very
Sensitive List Items
In implementing its commitment to
exercise vigilance in the licensing of
items listed on the Wassenaar Very
Sensitive List, the United States has
limited the use of License Exception
TSR to a list of specifically identified
countries for certain ECCNs. These
limitations are contained in the TSR
paragraph in the License Exception
section of nine ECCNs (i.e., ECCNs
1E001, 5D001, 5E001, 6D001, 6D003,
6E001, 6E002, 8D001 and 8E001) that
control items on the Wassenaar Very
Sensitive List and for which TSR has
been authorized for some, or all of the
ECCN.
The TSR paragraph limitation was
introduced in 1998, upon
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
61886
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
implementation of the Wassenaar
Arrangement (63 FR 2452), with a list of
sixteen destinations eligible for TSR for
Wassenaar Very Sensitive List items.
Approximately one year later, Japan was
added to the TSR paragraph limitation
(64 FR 10852). In 2008, Australia and
Norway were added to the TSR
paragraph in ECCN 1E001, with the
explanation that their original exclusion
had been an oversight. Australia and
Norway were not added to the other
TSR paragraphs with Wassenaar Very
Sensitive List limitations, creating an
inconsistency.
This final rule adopts a standardized
list of countries under the EAR for the
nine ECCNs. The use of this
standardized list of countries simplifies
the use of the TSR License Exception for
these nine ECCNs and aid the public’s
understanding regarding which
countries are eligible and not eligible to
receive National Security (NS)
controlled technology under these nine
ECCNs. Commenter No. 7 supported the
proposed change. BIS has recently
determined that the thirty-six countries
listed in License Exception Strategic
Trade Authorization, Section
740.20(c)(1) of the EAR, are eligible for
License Exception authorization for
Wassenaar Very Sensitive List items.
These 36 countries are: Argentina,
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South
Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
Turkey, and the United Kingdom. This
final rule revises the list of countries in
the TSR paragraph for the nine ECCNs
to state ‘‘those countries listed in
§ 740.20(c)(1) (License Exception STA).’’
The 17 countries (19 countries in 1E001)
that were previously identified as being
eligible for License Exception TSR
under these ECCNs were a subset of the
36 STA-eligible countries. Therefore,
this final rule adds the remaining 19
countries, except for 1E001 where this
final rule adds the remaining 17
countries, as eligible countries to
receive this type of technology through
application of License Exception TSR
under these ECCNs.
(B) ECCN Changes To Conform to the
Multilateral Export Control Regimes
Commenters No. 5 and 7 noted they
supported what they said was the ‘‘BIS’’
effort to conform the CCL to multilateral
export control regime control lists.
Commenter No. 7 also noted they
appreciated all the changes to make CCL
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
language consistent with the MTCR, but
they requested confirmation that their
understanding of the intent and scope of
the following proposed changes in the
November 29 rule is correct: ‘‘missiles’’
is replaced with rockets, missiles and
UAVs to ensure Category 1 and 2 UAVs
are captured; only UAV range is
specified in 1A101 and 9D105 to
capture Category 1 and 2 MTCR items;
UAV and payload are specified in
1D103 to only capture Category 1
subsystems; and UAVs are not included
in 7E104 because the MTCR Annex is
specific to optimization of rocket system
trajectory, and does not include a
control related to UAVs. Commenter No.
7’s description of the intent and scope
of these changes from the November 29
rule is correct. BIS received no other
comments regarding these proposed
changes, so BIS is implementing these
changes, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 1A101. This final rule amends
1A101 by replacing the term ‘‘missiles’’
in the heading with the phrase ‘‘rockets,
missiles, or unmanned aerial vehicles
capable of achieving a ‘‘range’’ equal to
or greater than 300 km’’ to conform to
the Missile Technology Control Regime
(MTCR) Annex. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCN 1D103. This final rule amends
1D103 by replacing the term ‘‘missiles’’
in the heading with the phrase ‘‘rockets,
missiles, or unmanned aerial vehicles
capable of delivering at least a 500 kg
payload to a ‘‘range’’ equal to or greater
than 300 km’’ to conform to the MTCR
Annex. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCN 1E001. This final rule amends
1E001 by removing ECCN 1A008 from
the heading and NS controls paragraph.
This change is made to conform to the
Wassenaar Arrangement List of DualUse Goods and Technologies that does
not extend to technology for 1A008.
This change was not proposed in the
November 29 rule, but was identified by
BIS as an additional change that needed
to be implemented to conform to the
Wassenaar Arrangement. Therefore, BIS
is implementing these changes in this
final rule.
ECCNs 2E001 and 2E002. Commenter
No. 6 suggested expanding the scope of
the exclusion in the headings in 2E001
and 2E002 by adding ECCN 2B999 to
the list of commodities controlled in 2B
that are not within the scope of 2E001
and 2E002. To support their position,
this commenter noted that 2E001 and
2E002 control ‘‘technology’’ for all
isostatic presses, regardless of
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
capability. They further noted that even
commercial MIG welders and industrial
sewage pumps (e.g., ECCNs 2B999.d and
2B999.j) are thus controlled. Commenter
No. 6 asserted that given 2E001 and
2E002 are generally associated with
high levels of control, there may be
confusion when ‘‘production’’
‘‘technology’’ for a MIG welder is
classified 2E001, but the commodity is
classified under an AT-only control. BIS
agrees with Commenter No. 6 and is
implementing these two changes in this
final rule. The change being
implemented in the final rule will
exclude technology for 2B999, but the
overall impact on the number of
licenses received by BIS is expected to
be minimal.
ECCN 5D101. This final rule amends
5D101 by removing the term ‘‘items’’
from the heading and adding the term
‘‘equipment’’ in its place. This rule will
make this change to be consistent with
the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive
any comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCNs 6A002 and 6A003. This final
rule amends 6A002 and 6A003 by
correcting a spelling error in the
headings of these two ECCNs to remove
the term ‘‘therefore’’ and replace it with
‘‘therefor.’’ These changes are being
made to conform to the Wassenaar
Arrangement List of Dual-Use Goods
and Technologies that uses the term
‘‘therefor’’ for both of these entries.
These two changes were not proposed
in the November 29 rule, but were
identified by BIS as additional changes
that needed to be implemented to
conform to the Wassenaar Arrangement.
Therefore, BIS is implementing these
changes in this final rule.
ECCN 6D102. This final rule amends
6D102 by removing the term ‘‘goods’’
from the heading and adding the term
‘‘equipment’’ in its place. This rule
makes this change to be consistent with
the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive
any comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCN 6D994. This final rule removes
6D994 to conform to a previous
amendment to the EAR that imposed a
control for these same items under
6D003.c. BIS’s intention when 6D994
was added to the CCL was to impose a
control on this software until a control
could be approved at the Wassenaar
Arrangement and implemented in the
EAR. When the final rule to add this
software to 6D003.c was published, the
intention was to remove 6D994.
However, this entry was inadvertently
retained at the time 6D003.c was added
to the CCL, which may have caused

pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

confusion for exporters trying to classify
this type of software because the
software meets the description of two
software ECCNs. To address this
oversight, this final rule removes 6D994
from the CCL, leaving 6D003.c as the
control ECCN. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCN 7D101. This final rule amends
7D101 by revising the heading to
include 7A117 in the list of ECCNs for
which 7D101 controls the software.
7A117 is a reference to a USML control
based on the MTCR Annex. 7D101
controls the software of certain
commodities controlled for MT reasons.
This change is made to conform to the
MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCN 7E104. This final rule amends
7E104 by replacing the term ‘‘missiles’’
in the heading with the phrase ‘‘rockets
or missiles capable of achieving a
‘‘range’’ equal to or greater than 300
km’’ to conform to the MTCR Annex.
BIS did not receive any comments on
this change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9A107. This final rule amends
9A107 by revising the heading to
replace the word ‘‘engines’’ with the
word ‘‘motors.’’ This change is made to
conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS did
not receive any comments on this
change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9A110. This final rule amends
9A110 by revising the heading to
include 9A109 in the list of ECCNs for
which 9A110 controls the composite
structures, laminates and manufactures
thereof. 9A109 is a reference to a USML
control based on the MTCR Annex.
9A110 controls the software of certain
commodities controlled for MT reasons.
This rule also amends 9A110 by
replacing the defined term ‘‘missiles’’
with the phrase ‘‘rockets, missiles, or
unmanned aerial vehicles capable of
achieving a ‘‘range’’ equal to or greater
than 300 km.’’ These changes are made
to conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS did
not receive any comments on these
changes, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9A118. This final rule amends
9A118 by inserting the phrase ‘‘missiles,
and unmanned aerial vehicles capable
of achieving a ‘‘range’’ ‘‘equal to or
greater than 300 km’’ into the heading
to conform to the MTCR Annex.
Commenter No. 7 identified a
typographical error in 9A118 where the
word ‘‘of’’ was used, but the word ‘‘to’’
was intended. BIS accepts this change
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
and is correcting the error in this final
rule, so the parameter correctly reads,
‘‘capable of achieving a range equal to
or greater than 300 km.’’
ECCNs 9B001, 9B002, 9B003 and
9B004. Commenter No. 6 noted that the
relationship between these four ECCNs
and ECCN 9A001 could be made clearer
as it relates to the MT controlled
portions of these four ECCNs. This
commenter noted that, as currently
written, the equipment described in
these four ECCNs is controlled for MT
reasons if it is applicable to any engine
whose characteristics are described in
9A001. However, this commenter
suggested that rather than referencing
9A101 obliquely through reference to
9A001 in the MT control(s) paragraphs
in 9B001, 9B002, 9B003, and 9B004, BIS
should add the following sentence to
the MT control(s) paragraph in these
four ECCNs: ‘‘MT applies only to
equipment for engines that meet the
characteristics described in 9A101.’’ BIS
agrees that revising the MT control(s)
paragraph in these four ECCNs would be
helpful, but BIS decided to use different
control text than to what was proposed
by Commenter No. 6. BIS will revise the
MT control(s) paragraph in these four
ECCNs to indicate that the MT control
applies to equipment for engines
controlled under 9A001 for MT reasons
and for engines controlled under 9A101.
These changes are being implemented
in this final rule.
ECCN 9B115. This final rule amends
9B115 by revising the heading to
include 9A103 in the list of ECCNs for
which 9B115 controls the ‘‘production
equipment.’’ 9A103 is a reference to a
USML control based on the MTCR
Annex. 9B115 controls the ‘‘production
equipment’’ of certain commodities
controlled for MT reasons. This change
is made to conform to the MTCR Annex.
BIS did not receive any comments on
this change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9B116. This final rule amends
9B116 by revising the heading to
include 9A103 in the list of ECCNs for
which 9B116 controls the ‘‘production
equipment.’’ 9A103 is a reference to a
USML control based on the MTCR
Annex. 9B116 controls the ‘‘production
equipment’’ of certain commodities
controlled for MT reasons. This change
is made to conform to the MTCR Annex.
BIS did not receive any comments on
this change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9D103. This final rule amends
9D103 by revising the heading to
include ECCNs 9A009, 9A107 and
9A109, and to expand the reference to
9A105 from 9A105.a to the entire ECCN
in the list of ECCNs for which 9D103
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700

controls certain ‘‘software.’’ ECCNs
9A009, 9A105, 9A107, and 9A109 are
references to USML controls based on
the MTCR Annex. 9D103 is a reference
to a USML control based on the MTCR
Annex. This change is made to conform
to the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive
any comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
ECCN 9D104. This final rule amends
9D104 by revising the heading to
include ECCNs 9A006, 9A007, 9A008,
9A009, 9A010, 9A115, 9A116, and
9A106.e in the list of ECCNs for which
9D104 controls the ‘‘software.’’ 9A006,
9A007, 9A008, 9A009, 9A010, 9A115
and 9A116 are references to USML
controls based on the MTCR Annex.
9A106.e is controlled on the CCL for MT
reasons. 9D104 controls the ‘‘software’’
of certain commodities controlled for
MT reasons. This change is made to
conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS did
not receive any comments on this
change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9D105. This final rule amends
9D105 by replacing the term ‘‘missiles’’
in the heading with the phrase ‘‘rockets,
missiles, or unmanned aerial vehicles
capable of achieving a ‘‘range’’ equal to
or greater than 300 km’’ to conform to
the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive
any comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
(3) Structural Changes To Improve the
Clarity of the CCL
ECCNs on the CCL follow the same
basic paragraph structure, although not
all ECCNs contain the same paragraphs.
The common paragraph structure is
intended to allow the public to quickly
review ECCNs and to identify relevant
paragraphs in each ECCN. This final
rule is implementing changes to the
standard section headings that are used
in most ECCNs on the CCL. These
changes affect most of the ECCNs on the
CCL, but are being implemented
through instructions instead of setting
out each revision in the regulatory text.
BIS is making the changes in this
manner to save on the cost of
implementing these structural changes.
BIS’s decision also took into account
that the changes are not ECCN specific
and are more focused on how the ECCN
information is being communicated to
the public. Each of the structural
changes this rule implements improves
the clarity of the CCL and is further
described below. Commenter No. 6
noted that the clarification and
background in the November 29
proposed rule on the placement of the
phrase ‘‘(see List of Items Controlled)’’
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
61888
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
is greatly appreciated, as is the addition
of the phrase ‘‘as follows (see List of
Items Controlled)’’ where necessary.
Commenter No. 8 questioned the use of
‘‘as follows’’ because they believed it
was redundant in ECCNs that also use
‘‘(see List of Items Controlled)’’ at the
end of the ECCN. BIS agrees that the use
of the phrase ‘‘as follows’’ in this case
is redundant. BIS is, however, not
accepting this change in the final rule
because ‘‘as follows’’ is used on the
Wassenaar Arrangement’s control lists
and because ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ is a CCL convention.
Commenter No. 7 noted they
supported the structural changes, such
as explicit references to Part 740,
License Exceptions, references to
Country Chart, and adding Reporting
Requirements section to affected ECCNs.
This commenter noted that these
structural changes will increase
understanding of license exceptions and
the standardized structure will make it
easier for exporters to use and comply
with EAR. BIS agrees. Receiving no
other comments on these changes, BIS
implements these changes, as proposed,
in this final rule.
BIS also implements in this final rule
these same structural changes to the
new ECCNs added in the April 16
(initial implementation) rule and the
July 8, 2013 final rule, Revisions to the
Export Administration Regulations:
Military Vehicles; Vessels of War;
Submersible Vessels, Oceanographic
Equipment; Related Items; and
Auxiliary and Miscellaneous Items that
the President Determines No Longer
Warrant Control under the United States
Munitions List (July 8 (implementation)
rule) (78 FR 22660). These are not
corrections to the initial implementation
rule and the July 8 (implementation)
rule, but rather are conforming changes
being made as a result of the changes
included in this final rule. This final
rule also includes clarifications to the
April 16 (initial implementation) rule
that are not limited to conforming
changes with this final rule, but those
are described below under (6)
Clarifications to the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule.
Although the November 29 proposed
rule was published before the initial
implementation rule and the July 8
(implementation) rule, those final rules
were published without the structural
changes described here. At the time of
publication of those final rules, their
new ‘‘600 series’’ ECCNs were
consistent with the existing structure of
the CCL. This final rule makes these
structural changes to the ECCNs added
in those two rules and adopts them for
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
all subsequent rules that add new
ECCNs described here.
This final rule also includes
clarifications to the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule that are not
limited to conforming changes with this
final rule. These changes are described
below under the heading ‘‘(6)
Clarifications to the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule.’’
(A) Revision of License Exceptions
Section Heading
This final rule revises the License
Exceptions section heading to add
greater specificity. Specifically, this rule
revises the section heading by changing
it from ‘‘License Exceptions’’ to the
more specific section heading of ‘‘ListBased License Exceptions (See Part 740
for a description of all license
exceptions).’’ This rule also adds a
parenthetical after the revised section
heading to provide a cross reference to
the license exceptions part of the EAR.
This rule adds this cross reference
because a definitive determination of
whether a license exception may be
used for a specific ECCN can only be
made after also reviewing the applicable
license exception provisions in part 740
of the EAR. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
This final rule also makes this change
to the following ECCNs: 9A610, 9A619,
9B610, 9B619, 9C610, 9C619, 9D610,
9D619, 9E610, and 9E619, as added in
the April 16 (initial implementation)
rule (78 FR 22718), which goes into
effect on October 15, 2013. In addition,
this final rule makes this change to the
following ECCNs: 0A606, 0A617, 0B606,
0B617, 0C606, 0C617, 0D606, 0D617,
0D617, 0E606, 0E617, 8A609, 8A620,
8B609, 8B620, 8C609, 8D609, 8D620,
8E609, and 8E620, as added July 8
(implementation) rule (78 FR 40892),
which goes into effect on January 6,
2014.
(B) Removal of the License Exception
STA Paragraphs
In order to implement the changes
described above under (A) Revision of
License Exceptions section heading, this
final rule is also removing the License
Exception STA paragraph in the License
Exceptions section of the following
seventy-nine ECCNs: 0A606, 0A617,
0B606, 0B617, 0C606, 0C617, 0D606,
0D617, 0D617, 0E606, 0E617, 1A002,
1C001, 1C007, 1C010, 1C012, 1D002,
1E001, 1E002, 2D001, 2E001, 2E002,
3A002, 3B001, 3D001, 3E001, 4A001,
4D001, 4E001, 5A001, 5B001, 5D001,
5E001, 6A001, 6A002, 6A003, 6A004,
6A006, 6A008, 6B008, 6D001, 6D003,
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
6E001, 6E002, 7D003, 7E001, 7E002,
8A001, 8A002, 8A609, 8A620, 8B609,
8B620, 8C609, 8D001, 8D002, 8E001,
8E002, 8D609, 8D620, 8E609, 8E620,
9A610, 9A619, 9B001, 9B610, 9B619,
9C610, 9C619, 9D001, 9D002, 9D004,
9D610, 9D619, 9E001, 9E002, 9E003,
9E610, and 9E619. This rule moves the
text of those License Exception STA
paragraphs to a new section titled
‘‘Special Conditions for STA.’’ This rule
is creating this new section immediately
following the proposed ‘‘List-Based
License Exceptions (See Part 740 for a
description of all license exceptions)’’
instruction because the License
Exception STA paragraphs do not
perform the same function as the other
list-based license exception paragraphs.
This rule is not implementing any
changes to the regulatory text included
in the current License Exception STA
paragraphs of these ECCNs. These STA
changes include the thirty ‘‘600 series’’
ECCNs referenced above (0A606, 0A617,
0B606, 0B617, 0C606, 0C617, 0D606,
0D617, 0D617, 0E606, 0E617, 8A609,
8A620, 8B609, 8B620, 8C609, 8D609,
8D620, 8E609, 8E620, 9A610, 9A610,
9B610, 9B619, 9C610, 9C619, 9D610,
9D619, 9E610 and 9E619) that were not
included in the November 29 proposed
rule, but are now included because ten
of these ECCNs were published in the
initial implementation rule and will be
in the EAR on the effective date of this
final rule, and the other twenty have
been published in the July 8
(implementation) rule. The July 8
(implementation) rule is not effective
until January 6, 2014, but the changes
being implemented in this rule will
align these twenty ‘‘600 series’’ ECCNs
with structural changes being made to
the ECCN headings when that rule does
become effective. The changes
implemented in this rule are limited to
adding a new section heading and
moving the existing License Exception
STA paragraphs in these seventy-nine
ECCNs to the new STA section heading.
BIS did not receive any comments on
this change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
(C) Adding a Cross-Reference After
Country Chart
This final rule is revising the
‘‘Country Chart’’ paragraph heading in
the License Requirements section to add
a parenthetical to indicate where the
public can find the Country Chart. The
revised Country Chart paragraph
heading will now read ‘‘Country Chart
(See Supp. No. 1 to part 738).’’ Not all
ECCNs include a Country Chart
paragraph and a small number of ECCNs
do not rely on the Commerce Country
Chart for determining destination-based
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
license requirements. Most ECCNs,
however, are structured to refer to the
information contained in the Country
Chart paragraph in Supplement No. 1 to
part 738 to identify destination-based
license requirements. The changes in
this rule will clarify that for the ECCNs
that use this structure, exporters,
reexporters and transferors need to refer
to the Country Chart in Supplement No.
1 to part 738 to determine destinationbased license requirements. For
experienced exporters, reexporters, and
transferors, this structure is well
understood. The new cross references
are primarily intended for those
exporters, reexporters, and transferors
who are new to the EAR and who may
not as readily understand the
relationship between this standard
ECCN paragraph and Supplement No. 1
to part 738. The new parenthetical
phrase at the end of the Country Chart
paragraph will make the relationship
explicit. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed,
in this final rule.
This final rule also makes this change
to the following ECCNs: 9A610, 9A619,
9B610, 9B619, 9C610, 9C619, 9D610,
9D619, 9E610, and 9E619, as added in
the April 16 (initial implementation)
rule (78 FR 22718), which goes into
effect on October 15, 2013. In addition,
this final rule also makes this change to
the following ECCNs: 0A606, 0A617,
0B606, 0B617, 0C606, 0C617, 0D606,
0D617, 0D617, 0E606, 0E617, 8A609,
8A620, 8B609, 8B620, 8C609, 8D609,
8D620, 8E609, and 8E620, as added July
8 (implementation) rule (78 FR 40892),
which goes into effect on January 6,
2014.
(D) Adding a New ‘‘Reporting
Requirements’’ Section to Certain
ECCNs
Some ECCNs include references to
reporting requirements, which are
typically found either in License
Requirement notes or in notes to the
‘‘items’’ paragraphs in the List of Items
Controlled section. BIS has adopted a
standardized paragraph structure for
ECCNs, as much as possible, to assist
the public in classifying items. A
standardized paragraph structure helps
the public classify items by putting the
information contained in an ECCN into
a useable and easily recognizable
format. The current reporting
requirements, which are found in
various sections and paragraphs of the
individual ECCNs, deviate from this
type of standardized structure. To
address this issue, this final rule is
adding a new section heading called
Reporting Requirements where the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
existing reporting requirements found in
ECCNs will be consolidated. This rule is
not making any changes to the scope of
current reporting requirements. This
standardized structure will aid in
compliance with the reporting
requirements and assist exporters in
more quickly and easily identifying
ECCNs subject to reporting
requirements. The rule is adding the
new Reporting Requirements section
heading immediately before the License
Exceptions section.
To implement this change in
Supplement No. 1 to part 774 (the
Commerce Control List), this final rule
removes the ‘‘License Requirements
Notes’’ paragraphs in the License
Requirements section in the following
forty-three ECCNs: 1A002, 1C007,
1C010, 1D002, 1E001, 1E002, 2B003,
2D001, 2E001, 2E002, 3A002, 3B001,
3D001, 3E001, 4A001, 4E001, 5A001,
5B001, 5D001, 5E001, 6A001, 6A002,
6A003, 6A004, 6A006, 6A008, 6B008,
6D001, 6D003, 6E001, 6E002, 8A001,
8A002, 8D001, 8D002, 8E001, 8E002,
9B001, 9D001, 9D002, 9E001, 9E002 and
9E003. In forty-two of these ECCNs and
in six additional ECCNs: 1C001, 4D001,
7D002, 7D003, 7E001, 7E002, this rule
adds the new section entitled
‘‘REPORTING REQUIREMENTS See
§ 743.1 of the EAR for reporting
requirements for exports under License
Exceptions, Special Comprehensive
Licenses, and Validated End-User
authorizations’’ after the License
Requirements section in each of these
respective ECCNs. BIS is adding the
‘‘REPORTING REQUIREMENTS’’
paragraph to ECCNs 1C001, 4D001,
7D002, 7D003, 7E001 and 7E002 to alert
exporters that reporting requirements
were imposed on these ECCNs in the
April 16 (initial implementation) rule
through the changes to § 743.1 and the
addition of the Wassenaar Arrangement
Sensitive and Very Sensitive Lists as
Supplements Nos. 6 and 7 to Part 774.
In ECCN 6A003, this rule adds a
Reporting Requirement section with a
more detailed statement describing the
specific reporting requirement
applicable to that ECCN. This rule also
changes the new Reporting
Requirements section to ensure that the
text conforms to the listing of
authorizations in § 743.1 that require
reporting to BIS. Lastly, this rule
removes the License Requirement Note
in 3B001, but does not add a Reporting
Requirements section because 3B001 is
not identified in § 743.1, so the
reference is no longer needed.
Commenter No. 8 requested that
additional explanation be provided
regarding the role of other License
Requirements Notes on the CCL and
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
61889
whether such notes should be renamed
to better reflect their role in those
ECCNs. This commenter noted that
unlike other elements of an ECCN, the
EAR does not address what significance
exporters should give such notes when
interpreting an ECCN. This commenter
noted that it would stand to reason that
these notes are commentary relevant to
‘‘License Requirements’’ section. That
section, however, addresses reasons
why export of an item might require a
license, whereas notes often purport to
address substantive scope of an ECCN.
BIS does not believe any additional
renaming of the License Requirements
Notes is needed at this time, but BIS
will continue to review this issue as an
additional option for making the CCL
clearer. At this time, the License
Requirements Notes tend to have an
ECCN-specific meaning, typically
describing in greater detail the scope of
the ECCN or the license requirements
applicable to a specific ECCN.
Commenter No. 8 also provided the
example of the License Requirement
Note 1 to 1C351, which states that
certain medical products containing
most ECCN 1C351 toxins are excluded
from 1C351, to illustrate his concern
and request for guidance. Commenter
No. 8 asserted that this creates the
impression 1C351 would control
medical products containing some
toxins listed in that ECCN, or possibly
even other items covered by 1C351. The
‘‘items’’ paragraph of 1C351, however,
covers only stand-alone viruses,
bacteria, toxins and fungi. The EAR
require that all items controlled under a
given ECCN be set out in a positive list
in the ‘‘items’’ paragraph, but ECCN
1C351’s ‘‘items’’ paragraph does not
identify any item that contains a toxin,
virus, etc., contrary to the implication
created by License Requirement Note 1.
The commenter also contended that BIS
takes the position that ECCN 1C351
does control items containing such
ECCN 1C351 items. In addition to the
general response above on the comment
for renaming the License Requirements
Notes, BIS provides this specific
guidance on the meaning of the License
Requirement Note in 1C351. The
License Requirement Note is explicit
regarding what is excluded from 1C351
and what is classified as 1C991 by
specifying in the last sentence of the
License Requirement Note that
‘‘vaccines, immunotoxins, certain
medical products, and diagnostic and
food testing kits excluded from the
scope of this entry are controlled under
ECCN 1C991.’’ Other products may be
1C351, such as tissue samples that have
pathogens. However, if this person or

pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
61890
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
any other person has a question
regarding the classification of a
particular material or the applicability
of a License Requirements Note, he or
she may submit a commodity
classification request to BIS using the
SNAP–R online submission system. BIS
did not receive any other comments on
this change, so BIS is implementing it,
as proposed, in this final rule.
(E) Section 738.2(d)(2)(Reading an
ECCN). Commenter No. 8 noted that the
explanations in the November 29
proposed rule of the relationship
between the heading of an ECCN and its
‘‘items’’ paragraph, and the significance
of the placement of the phrase ‘‘(see List
of Items Controlled)’’ in the heading, are
at odds with the instructions on reading
an ECCN in § 738.2(d)(2) of the EAR.
Section 738.2(d)(2) states that the
‘‘items’’ paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section is the list of items
controlled under that ECCN and that if
the header is a complete list, the
‘‘items’’ paragraph consists solely of a
note directing the reader to review the
heading.
BIS accepts this comment and revises
§ 738.2(d)(2) of the EAR to address the
commenter’s concerns, and adds new
paragraphs (d)(2)(iv)(C)(1), (2), and (3) to
provide examples of the three different
uses of the phrase ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ in ECCN headings.
Understanding the relationship between
the heading and the ‘‘items’’ paragraph
is important when classifying items that
are ‘‘subject to the EAR’’ on the CCL and
these examples will assist the public’s
understanding of these provisions of the
EAR. These revisions reflect that the
ECCN heading is a list of the items
controlled in the ECCN and that the
‘‘items’’ paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section will completely
describe portions of the ECCN heading
subject to control if the phrase ‘‘(see List
of Items Controlled)’’ is in the heading.
If the phrase ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ does not appear in the
heading, the heading is complete. An
example of such a heading is ECCN
4E980 ‘‘[t]echnology’’ for the
‘‘development,’’ ‘‘production’’ or ‘‘use’’
of commodities controlled by 4A980.
ECCNs 0A982, 3A292, 5D101, 8D001,
and 9A002 are other examples where
the heading is the exclusive description
of the items classified under those
respective ECCNs.
If the phrase ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ appears at the end of the
heading, the ‘‘items’’ paragraph in the
List of Items Controlled section is a
complete, exclusive description of the
items controlled under that ECCN and
the heading is merely for reference
purposes. An example of an ECCN
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
where all of the heading text precedes
the phrase ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ is ECCN 8A002 Marine
systems, equipment, ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components,’’ as follows (see List of
Items Controlled). ECCNs 1A001,
3A001, 6A001, 7A004, and 9A012 are
other examples where all of the heading
text precedes the phrase ‘‘(see List of
Items Controlled).’’
If the phrase ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ appears in the middle of
the heading, the ‘‘items’’ paragraph in
the List of Items Controlled section is a
description of the items controlled
under that ECCN for the portion of the
heading that preceded the phrase.
However, any portion of the heading
that follows the phrase ‘‘(see List of
Items Controlled)’’ is to be read in
addition to the ‘‘items’’ paragraph. An
example of such a heading is ECCN
2B992 Non-‘‘numerically controlled’’
machine tools for generating optical
quality surfaces, (see List of Items
Controlled) and ‘‘specially designed’’
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ therefor.
ECCNs 1A006, 3B992, 4A001, 6A006,
and 7A001 are other examples where
the phrase ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ appears in the middle of
the ECCN heading. BIS has identified
seven additional ECCNs that require the
phrase ‘‘(see List of Items Controlled)’’
in the ECCN headings: 1C350, 1C355,
1C992, 2A991, 3B992, 5A992, and
9A004. In each of these ECCNs, the
heading is not a complete description of
the items controlled under that ECCN
and the ‘‘items’’ paragraph of the List of
Items Controlled section details the
items controlled. Therefore, BIS
implements the changes suggested by
the commenter in this final rule.
(F) Addition of Guidance on the Use of
Quotation Marks on the CCL
In addition to the changes described
below for § 774.1, this final rule also
revises this section to add a new
paragraph (d) entitled Conventions
related to the use of quotation marks on
the CCL. This new paragraph provides
guidance on the use of quotation marks
on the CCL. This guidance is not a
substantive change to the CCL and is
limited to providing guidance on BIS’s
current practice as it relates to the use
of quotation marks on the CCL. BIS did
not propose this in the November 29
proposed rule, but identified this as an
additional non-substantive clarification
that could be made to the CCL.
Therefore, BIS is implementing this
change in this final rule.
As background for this new guidance,
part 772 includes definitions for terms
used in the EAR. Throughout the EAR,
but most prevalent in the CCL, BIS uses
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
the convention of double quotes to
identify terms that are defined in part
772. If a term on the CCL uses double
quotes, it means it is a defined term in
part 772. However, the absence of
double quotes does not mean that a term
used on the CCL is not defined in part
772. Because the CCL includes many
terms that are defined in part 772, BIS’s
practice is to use double quotes for
certain defined terms and when it is
needed for consistency with multilateral
export control regime based entries,
such as many derived from control lists,
in particular for the Wassenaar
Arrangement that also uses the double
quotes convention. However, because of
the large number of defined terms used
on the CCL and a desire to avoid
hindering readability by placing quotes
around too many terms used in
particular ECCNs, BIS’s practice is to
not add double quotes around certain
terms, such as items and commodities.
The CCL also includes a convention
regarding the use of single quotes.
Single quotes on the CCL identify a term
as a defined term in the context of a
particular ECCN. However, even within
BIS or other parts of the U.S.
Government these conventions as they
relate to the use of quotes can
sometimes become more complex than
needed. As a longer term project, BIS
intends to conduct a review on the use
of quotation marks on the CCL and in
the larger EAR to determine if a simpler
approach could be developed, such as
possibly eliminating the use of double
quotation marks to avoid the incorrect
negative inference that the only defined
terms are those with double quotation
marks. The opposite end of the
spectrum would be to add quotes
around all defined terms, but that would
hinder the readability of the CCL.
The use of quotation marks on the
CCL is intended to be an aid to alert the
reader to terms used on the CCL that are
defined in part 772. In this sense the
quotes are helpful, but a good
compliance practice is to familiarize
yourself with part 772 and the terms
that are defined there, and when
reviewing a control parameter on the
CCL that uses a term that is not in
quotes to be aware it may be defined in
part 772.
(4) Removal of Fourteen ECCNs Subject
to the Exclusive Jurisdiction of the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
(A) Removal of Fourteen ECCNs
In the November 29 proposed rule,
BIS proposed removing fourteen ECCNs
to eliminate certain cross-references to
controls that are under the exclusive
jurisdiction of other agencies. The
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
current CCL includes forty-nine ECCNs
that refer to items that are subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Department
of Energy (DOE), the NRC, or the
Department of State. They constitute
approximately 10% of the total number
of ECCNs on the CCL. Of the forty-nine
ECCNs, fourteen are subject to the
export licensing authority of the NRC at
10 CFR part 110. This final rule is
removing these fourteen ECCNs from
the CCL. The fourteen ECCNs are
0A001, 0B001, 0B002, 0B003, 0B004,
0B005, 0B006, 0C001, 0C002, 0C004,
0C005, 0C006, 0C201 and 1C012. These
ECCNs are Nuclear Trigger List items, so
the jurisdiction of these items is already
established under U.S. export controls
and, as explained below, there is no
need to include this additional cross
reference from the CCL to the controls
maintained by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
BIS’s original purpose for including
these ECCNs on the CCL was to
supplement § 734.3 (Items subject to the
EAR) under paragraph (b)(1), which
describes items that are not subject to
the EAR because they are subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of another agency
of the U.S. Government, and to
supplement the jurisdiction information
for the other U.S. Government agencies
found in Supplement No. 3 to part 730
(Other U.S. Government Departments
and Agencies with Export Control
Responsibilities). BIS also included
these ECCNs to better align the CCL
with the European Union’s control lists
that are primarily based on the
multilateral export control regimes.
However, by including references to
other agencies’ controls in specific
ECCNs there is the potential that such
ECCN references will become out of
date if the other agencies update their
respective regulations and the
corresponding changes are not made in
the EAR in a timely manner.
For example, on September 7, 2011
(76 FR 55278), the National Nuclear
Security Administration, Department of
Energy (DOE), published a notice of
proposed rulemaking that proposed
various amendments to regulations
concerning unclassified assistance to
foreign atomic energy activities. These
proposed revisions were intended to
reduce uncertainties for industry users
concerning which foreign nuclear
related activities by U.S. persons are
‘‘generally authorized’’ under the
regulation and which activities require
a ‘‘specific authorization’’ from the
Secretary of Energy. However, if the
ECCNs on the CCL that currently refer
to DOE and the NRC controls are not
updated, the uncertainties for exporters,
reexporters and transferors would
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
increase because of inconsistencies
among the regulations. This rule only
removes the fourteen ECCNs that refer
to NRC controls. The ECCN that refers
to DOE export controls is ECCN 0E001,
and that ECCN is not being removed at
this time because it also includes certain
portions of the entry that are ‘‘subject to
the ITAR.’’ However, to avoid
uncertainties for exporters, reexporters
and transferors as noted in the example
above, BIS will endeavor to remove
cross references to ECCNs that refer to
DOE and NRC controls to avoid
inconsistencies among regulations.
Given that the NRC respective
regulations are controlling in this area
and these ECCNs are only acting as a
cross reference, BIS proposed the
removal of these ECCNs in the
November 29 rule.
Although BIS proposed to remove the
cross-references, BIS has determined
there still is utility in including general
cross references to other agencies’
controls, including after the review of
the comments received in response to
the November 29 rule. Thus, this final
rule includes a general cross reference at
the beginning of the CCL in a revised
§ 774.1 (Introduction) that contains
those ECCNs that have been reserved
and are subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of another agency of the
U.S. Government. In addition, the
related control paragraphs of ECCNs
contain cross references to controls of
other agencies to the extent that such
controls are similar to or related to the
controls of certain ECCNs.
The remaining thirty-five of the fortynine ECCNs refer to items that are
‘‘subject to the ITAR,’’ which is
maintained by the Department of State.
Given the ongoing review of the United
States Munitions List (USML) that is
being conducted under the ECR
Initiative, it is premature to remove or
revise these thirty-five ECCNs. In
addition, given the number of cross
references, in particular in Categories 7
and 9 of the CCL, to these thirty-five
ECCNs, BIS determined that removing
the ECCNs that are ‘‘subject to the
ITAR’’ should be addressed once the
review of the USML has been
completed. Therefore, BIS is not
implementing any additional changes in
this final rule for those remaining 35
ECCNs.
BIS received two comments on these
proposed changes in the November 29
rule. One commenter supported and one
commenter opposed the changes.
Commenter No. 7 supported the
removal of the fourteen ECCNs, stating
that these changes will avoid regulatory
confusion and eliminate the need for
BIS to continually update controls
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
61891
administered by a different agency. BIS
agrees. Commenter No. 3 opposed the
removal of these fourteen ECCNs,
stating that the removal of the fourteen
ECCNs would not result in clarity but
rather in complexity. Commenter No. 3
included a number of reasons
supporting their position and also
included suggested alternatives. BIS
reviewed these comments and responds
to these comments below. BIS’s analysis
also included conducting analysis of
data in the Automated Export System
(AES) for these fourteen ECCNs to
further evaluate these changes. The
analysis of the AES data in particular
highlighted for BIS and the NRC that
these cross references have not been
reported properly in AES in certain
cases, such as EAR license exceptions or
No License Required (NLR) designations
being reported for some of these
fourteen ECCNs that are subject to the
NRC. BIS is working with the U.S.
Census Bureau and the NRC at this time
to create a change in AES that will
create a fatal error for AES filers who try
to use any type of EAR authorization or
NLR designation for these fourteen
ECCNs that are subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the NRC and that are
being removed from the CCL in this
final rule. BIS addresses the comments
received below, but the review of the
AES data also played an important role
in informing BIS’s decision to move
forward with the implementation of the
removal of these fourteen ECCNs as
proposed in the November 29 rule with
minor modifications based on the
review of the public comments.
Commenter No. 3 indicated the
removal of the fourteen ECCNs leaves
exporters without valid ECCNs and no
viable alternative is offered. Commenter
No. 3 noted the proposed replacement
list in § 774.1 of the EAR is little more
than a difficult-to-find and difficult-touse footnote. BIS understands that
certain exporters are more comfortable
with using the CCL than the NRC’s
control list, but the fact remains these
items are not subject to the EAR.
Therefore, although these fourteen
ECCNs alert the public that these items
are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the NRC, exporters still must review
the NRC’s control list and regulations to
determine their responsibilities under
the NRC regulations. There is and can
be no easy substitute for reviewing the
NRC’s control list. The new CCL Order
of Review that was added to the EAR in
the initial implementation final rule
published on April 16, 2013 further
clarified this issue in terms of the
proposed order of review of the CCL. If
the item is not subject to the EAR
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
61892
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
because it is subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of another U.S. Government
export control agency, you should exit
the EAR and consult the other agency’s
controls. Other parts of the EAR, such
as Supplement No. 3 to part 730
referenced above and § 734.3(b), also
address this issue. BIS has made some
changes to § 774.1 to make those
references more useful as a historical
reference to these fourteen ECCNs and
to also act as a better cross reference to
the multilateral export control regime
entries that applied to these fourteen
ECCNs at the time of their removal.
Commenter No. 3 also noted the
negative impact on Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) because CBP cannot
rely on those fourteen ECCNs anymore.
The commenter noted that the NRC’s
regulations under 10 CFR part 110 do
not use the standard ECCN format, so
Customs cannot directly relate ECCNs
on the shipping document to NRC
export controls. The commenter noted if
these fourteen ECCNs are removed as
proposed in the November 29 rule,
Customs officers would need to refer to
an old version of the CCL or possibly to
the European Union (EU) control list.
BIS does not agree with this comment.
CBP does not and should not rely on the
CCL for items that are subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of another agency
of the U.S. Government. For items
described in these fourteen ECCN cross
references or any other item that is
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the NRC, CBP evaluates whether the
item is subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the NRC and whether it
is being exported in accordance with the
NRC’s regulations. The EAR does not
enter into their analysis. If there is any
question regarding the jurisdiction or
classification of the item or whether it
is being exported in accordance with the
NRC regulations, CBP would follow up
directly with the NRC, similar to what
is done under the EAR for items that are
subject to the EAR. As noted above, the
NRC’s list and regulations control the
transaction; therefore, CBP would refer
directly to the NRC’s list.
Commenter No. 3, who opposes the
change, also noted that if the fourteen
NRC ECCNs were removed from CCL, an
exporter could erroneously choose to
use no ECCN, to invent a non-standard
ECCN, or to use the (now questionablydocumented) former CCL ECCN. As BIS
noted in response to the previous
comment, the exporter should use the
classification for the item based on the
NRC’s control list. The exporter should
also use the applicable NRC
authorization or designation when
entering data in AES. Under no
circumstances should an EAR
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
authorization or NLR designation be
used in AES for an item that is subject
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the NRC.
As noted above, BIS and the NRC are
working with the U.S. Census Bureau to
create a fatal error, which is expected to
be implemented in 2014, to prevent
filers from being able to reference EAR
authorizations or the NLR designation.
Commenter No. 3 also noted the
proposed language for some ECCNs is
cumbersome, awkward and confusing.
Commenter No. 3 offered ECCN 3A233
as an example, stating the proposed
language is cumbersome and awkward,
requiring 40 words (including two
defined terms) to describe an exclusion
that the current language accomplishes
in six words. On a related issue this
commenter stated that the proposed
changes do not prevent cross-references
from becoming out of date, and
therefore might not reduce maintenance.
In the existing CCL, the NRC ECCNs are
clearly partitioned from the BIS ECCNs,
but the proposed rule would blur the
distinction, in some cases by adding
Heading Notes (e.g., 3A225) and in other
cases modifying the chapeau itself (e.g.,
3A233). The commenter noted that both
approaches incorporate more tightly
into the CCL the NRC control language
that BIS wishes to remove. The
commenter asserted that the probable
outcome of this proposal would increase
rather than decrease BIS maintenance.
As a result of BIS’s review of these
comments, BIS has made changes in the
final rule. BIS will not be implementing
the Heading Notes. In other places
where a large amount of text was
needed, BIS has removed the detailed
description of the NRC controls in
ECCNs that previously referenced one or
more of the fourteen ECCNs being
removed. This final rule instead
includes a general reminder that items
that are subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the NRC are not subject
to the scope of the particular ECCN in
question. For example, 3A233, which
was identified by the commenter as
overly complex and ambiguous as
proposed for revision in the November
29 rule, is simplified in this final rule
as described in the next paragraph,
along with similar changes being made
on the CCL for those conforming
changes to the fourteen ECCNs being
removed in this final rule.
The changes in this final rule to
3A233 clarify the mass spectrometers
controlled under this ECCN do not
include ‘‘items that are subject to the
export licensing authority of the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (see 10 CFR
part 110).’’ This concept is already
specified in other parts of the EAR,
including the new CCL Order of Review
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
referenced above, but BIS believes this
simplified approach will address the
concern noted by the commenter, while
still alerting the public that certain
items related to 3A233 may be subject
to the NRC’s regulations. BIS is making
changes to similar ECCNs where
conforming changes are being made, in
particular to those ECCNs where new
heading notes were proposed. BIS will
continue to evaluate the best approach
for referencing the NRC’s controls and
in the future may simply add such
information to the ‘‘related controls’’
paragraphs of these ECCNs that are
subject to the EAR. However, for
purposes of the changes being
implemented in this final rule, BIS has
determined this modified approach best
achieves the objectives of the rule to
remove these fourteen ECCNs and to
make appropriate conforming changes
to the CCL ECCNs where needed, while
not re-creating the need to update the
CCL to track with changes to the NRC
regulations. The commenter correctly
noted this was one of the rationales
provided for the November 29 changes.
BIS agrees with the commenter that a
slightly revised approach is needed in
this final rule to achieve those
objectives.
Commenter No. 3 also noted that
timely maintenance of the NRC ECCNs
might not be needed. This commenter
believed the existing structure of the
CCL provides clear and adequate notice
to exporters that certain items are
subject to the export licensing
jurisdiction of the NRC. Therefore,
timely maintenance of fourteen NRC
ECCNs in the CCL is not required. For
the reasons noted above, BIS does not
agree with this comment; NRC’s
regulations would control the
transaction, not the CCL, regardless of
whether the commenter believes the
CCL is an easier list to review. The
commenter may wish to contact the
NRC and make suggestions for how the
NRC control list could be reconfigured
to make it more user friendly and more
consistent with the structure used by
the multilateral export control regimes.
The premise that CCL entries are
controlling or that the CCL entries can
be relied on is incorrect. This analytical
approach demonstrates an incorrect
overreliance on the CCL for items that
are not subject to the EAR, and further
reinforces BIS’s decision to remove
these fourteen ECCNs.
Commenter No. 3 also noted that
because the Nuclear Trigger List rarely
changes, it is not difficult to stay current
with it. BIS agrees that the Nuclear
Trigger List rarely changes, but given
the importance of exporters making a
correct determination regarding the
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
export control jurisdiction for an item,
and the fact that there is a real
possibility of the NRC control list and
the CCL entries’ becoming inconsistent
due to ill-timed updating, BIS has
determined that the best approach is to
create a clean break between the CCL
and the NRC regarding items that are
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the NRC.
Commenter No. 3 also noted the NRC
rule example cited in the November 29
proposed rule did not change the
Nuclear Trigger List. The cited NRC rule
only clarified when a license was
required. This commenter is correct, but
based on the commenter’s earlier
comments about relying on the CCL and
the fact that it appears from the AES
data that certain exporters may not be
referring at all to the NRC regulations
and simply relying on one of those
fourteen ECCNs and using an EAR
authorization or NLR designation, any
change to the NRC regulations in
particular regarding license
requirements is still relevant. In
addition, there are other examples
where the current NRC controls may
have greater or less specificity than
what is currently reflected on the CCL,
which again speaks to the importance of
exporters’ reviewing the actual NRC
control lists instead of relying on the
CCL to perform that function for them.
This commenter also suggested that
ECCN 0B002 contains an error and does
not match the Nuclear Trigger List.
BIS reviewed ECCN 0B002 and
concluded that the current 0B002 is
consistent with the multilateral control
list. However, this example provides
further support for the decision to
remove the fourteen ECCNs so that all
descriptions of NRC controls will be in
NRC regulations.
BIS provides this paragraph to
provide additional background on the
reference above to the Nuclear Trigger
List and how that fits in with the U.S.
export control system. The Nuclear
Suppliers Group controls two groups of
items. The Part 1 Annex, which is often
referred to as the Trigger List, controls
those items that are uniquely nuclear,
such as nuclear reactors and
components; centrifuges and other
enrichment equipment; nuclear
materials such as uranium and
plutonium; heavy water facilities, etc.
These and other related items are
controlled by the NRC under 10 CFR
Part 110. The related Part 1 technology
is controlled by the Department of
Energy under 10 CFR Part 810. The Part
2 or Dual Use annex, covers those items
that have both a nuclear and nonnuclear end use such as machine tools,
pressure transducers, mass
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
spectrometers, etc. and are under the
licensing jurisdiction of the Department
of Commerce. The International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) publishes both
annexes under INFCIRC/254/Part1 and
INFCIRC/254/Part 2. They may also be
viewed on the Nuclear Suppliers Group
Web site.
Commenter No. 3 also noted that the
complexity of text could potentially also
create burden for U.S. companies in the
event that foreign export control
authorities were to request clarification
on whether the scope of, for example,
U.S. ECCN 3A233 is equivalent to the
scope of their national ECCN 3A233.
BIS does not see this as a burden and
also does not see this as the type of
information that should be expected to
be provided by a U.S. company. The
U.S. Government is available to answer
any questions from foreign parties,
including other regime member
governments, about how U.S. export
control lists correspond with
multilateral export control regime
control lists. Therefore, if a U.S.
company receives such a request, they
may simply direct those foreign parties
to contact the applicable agency of the
U.S. Government, in this case the NRC,
for resolution.
Commenter No. 3 noted that
alignment with the EU control list
remains a worthwhile goal. The
commenter noted that the November 29
proposed rule did not seek to explain
why this goal is no longer worthwhile.
BIS has added in this final rule
references to the multilateral export
control regimes’ control list to partially
address this comment. The U.S. export
control system implements U.S.
Government commitments to the
multilateral export control regimes in
each of the respective agency control
lists as applicable for the particular
regimes. The removal of these fourteen
ECCNs does not change the commitment
of the U.S. Government to control such
items that are reflected in the NRC
control list. For the reasons noted above,
though, not removing these fourteen
ECCNs on the CCL may cause ambiguity
regarding the proper export control
jurisdiction between the CCL and the
NRC’s control lists. For that reason, this
final rule removes those entries and
replaces them with more general cross
references to the NRC’s control lists.
Commenter No. 3 noted that the
removal of these ECCNs could set an
undesirable precedent. This commenter
believed U.S. action to split what had
hitherto been a single control list into
multiple lists could establish a
precedent for other countries to do
likewise—resulting in more complexity
in global export control system. BIS
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
61893
does not agree the removal sets a bad
precedent for other countries. Each
country that is a member of the
multilateral export control regimes
implements those multilateral
agreements into its own export control
system, including determining what
types of agency structure (single agency
or multiple agencies) and type of control
list (single control list or multiple
control lists) is most appropriate under
its respective national export controls.
The importance is placed on
implementing U.S. Government
multilateral regime commitments,
which the U.S. Government has done.
This includes the removal of these
fourteen ECCNs that, although the crossreferences to the NRC controls are being
removed from the CCL, are still
controlled under the NRC. Therefore,
the U.S. Government is meeting its
obligations to the Nuclear Suppliers
Group and other regimes as applicable,
so BIS does not agree that the removal
of these fourteen ECCNs will set a bad
precedent.
Commenter No. 3 noted that these
removals are contrary to the ‘‘single
control list’’ goal of export control
reform. BIS does not agree. The NRC
and DOE regulations are not currently
part of the single list objective of the
ECR Initiative, so there is no
inconsistency with this ECR objective.
Commenter No. 3 also offered two
options for BIS to consider instead of
removing these fourteen ECCNs, along
with various proposed conforming
changes to other ECCNs. The first option
was retaining these ECCNs because it
creates an easy way to identify and
classify these items. The commenter
asserted that retention of the fourteen
NRC ECCNs on the CCL would provide
a natural method for U.S. exporters to
use an ECCN that is automatically and
instantaneously recognized by all
parties (exporter, importer, licensing
officer, or enforcement officer)
worldwide. For the reason discussed
above in this section under (4)(A), BIS
does not accept this approach.
The second option was to retain the
fourteen ECCNs, but limit them to the
headings with a cross reference back to
the NRC. Under this alternative, the
regulations would not remove the
fourteen ECCN chapeaux within the
CCL, but instead would delete the
various subparagraphs of those ECCNs,
and for ‘‘List of Items Controlled’’
indicate ‘‘refer to NRC at 10 CFR 110.’’
Simultaneously (so as to preclude the
scenario described in option 1, above),
the commenter suggested that BIS
undertake joint BIS/NRC action to
update the NRC control list to use the
standard ECCN format. As noted above,
E:\FR\FM\04OCR2.SGM
04OCR2
61894
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
BIS has simplified the cross references
to these fourteen ECCNs that were
removed in the ECCNs that are retained
on the CCL based, in part, on this
comment. However, for the reasons
noted above, BIS believes removing the
fourteen ECCNs is the best way to
achieve the policy objectives identified,
so BIS does not accept this change.
(B) Changes to the CCL To Conform to
the Removal of These Fourteen ECCNs
In addition to removing the fourteen
ECCNs, this final rule also makes
conforming changes to eleven ECCNs
that would be retained on the CCL. The
ECCNs that are revised by this rule
contain references to one or more of the
fourteen ECCNs that are being removed.
The removal of the fourteen ECCNs
should not affect the existing controls
for items subject to the EAR. However,
given the relationship between the
fourteen ECCNs removed and the ten
ECCNs where conforming changes were
made, BIS noted in the November 29
proposed rule that it was particularly
interested whether the proposed
changes accurately capture the intent of
the previous references (i.e., the
references to the fourteen ECCNs that
would be removed in the ten ECCNs
that are retained on the CCL). These
comments and BIS’ responses are
discussed above in this section.
The final rule makes conforming
changes to the following eleven ECCNs:
1A290, 1C107, 1C240, 1C298, 3A225,
3A226, 3A227, 3A233, 3A999, 6A005,
and 6A205. This rule’s revisions consist
of the following:
ECCNs 3A225, 3A226, 3A227, 3A233,
6A005, and 6A205. This final rule
revises seven ECCN headings (1C240,
3A225, 3A226, 3A227, 3A233, 6A005,
and 6A205). This rule takes this
approach to minimize the number of
changes that would need to be made,
while still ensuring the headings reflect
the intended scope of these six ECCNs.
On the CCL, these seven ECCN
headings include references to some of
the fourteen ECCNs that are being
removed as a shorthand way of
communicating the scope of items
controlled. Therefore, the removal of
fourteen ECCNs requires that a broader
description be added to the headings of
these seven ECCNs. In the November 29
rule, BIS indicated that if only one of
the fourteen ECCNs that would be
removed is referenced, then BIS
believed that in most cases it is easy to
incorporate the text of the removed
ECCN into the heading of the seven
ECCNs. However, there are certain
ECCNs that reference one or more of the
fourteen ECCNs that are being removed
by this rule. In the cases where multiple
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
ECCNs are referenced, an effort to insert
all the text into the headings as a
conforming change would not be
feasible. However, for other ECCNs, the
November 29 rule proposed adding
heading notes, which would provide
more space to describe the substance of
the ECCNs that would be removed from
the respective headings. After further
review, BIS determined a simpler
approach could be taken that is also
more consistent with the existing EAR
by simply including text to alert the
public those eleven ECCNs exclude
items that are subject to the export
licensing authority of the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (see 10 CFR
part 110).
ECCNs 1A290, 1C107 and 1E001. This
final rule revises three ‘‘related
controls’’ paragraphs in ECCNs 1A290,
1C107 and 1E001. These changes revise
references to one or more of the fourteen
removed ECCNs in each of the three
remaining ECCNs and replace them
with a reference, in the related controls
paragraph, to the NRC regulations.
These changes will reduce the need for
cross-referencing in the CCL to the
fourteen removed ECCNs. The
November 29 rule proposed to describe
the NRC controls in the related controls
paragraph. The November 29 rule
described the approach being adopted
as an alternative. BIS welcomed
comments from the public regarding
whether this alternate approach of
simply using broad descriptors or some
other approach not yet considered by
BIS would be better than what was
proposed. After reviewing the public
comments, as discussed above, BIS
decided to adopt this alternate approach
consistent with the above described
cross references to the fourteen removed
ECCNs in ECCN headings.
ECCN 1E001. This final rule also
revises 1E001 by removing the reference
to 1C012 in the License Exception STA
paragraph in the License Exceptions
section. This ECCN is subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of another agency.
Thus, License Exception STA could
never be used as the authority to export
an item described in 1C012. BIS did not
receive any comments on this change,
so this change is implemented, as
proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 1C298. This final rule revises
one CCL note in ECCN 1C298 to remove
references to one or more of the fourteen
ECCNs that would be removed by this
rule. BIS did not receive any comments
on this change, so this change is
implemented, as proposed, in this final
rule.

(C) Adding a General Cross Reference to
the Fourteen ECCNs That Would Be
Removed
In § 774.1 (Introduction), this final
rule redesignates the introductory text
of the section as paragraph (a) with the
heading ‘‘Scope of the control list,’’ and
adds a paragraph (b) with the heading
‘‘ECCN cross-references for items
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of
another agency.’’ The introductory text
of paragraph (b) indicates that prior to
the date of publication in the Federal
Register of this final rule, the CCL
contained fourteen ECCNs that were
included as cross references on the CCL
to the export control regulations
administered by the NRC. Paragraph (b)
identifies ECCNs formerly listed on the
CCL that were subject to the jurisdiction
of the NRC at 10 CFR part 110. This rule
is adding a note to paragraph (b) to
indicate that ECCNs 0D001 and 0E001
(ECCNs that are retained on the CCL)
were subject to the jurisdiction of the
NRC at 10 CFR part 110 or jurisdiction
of the DOE at 10 CFR part 810, but also
have certain portions that, as of the date
of publication of this rule, were ‘‘subject
to the ITAR.’’ These ECCNs are retained
on the CCL as a cross reference. For the
reasons noted above, BIS will
implement these changes, as proposed,
in this final rule.
(5) Revisions to Shipping Tolerances
and Removal of All ‘‘Unit’’ Paragraphs
BIS in this final rule is revising the
way shipping tolerances are calculated
and applied under the EAR. This rule
revises § 750.11 (Shipping tolerances) to
state that all items are licensed based on
both quantity and value of the items.
Quantity will be denominated in the
unit of quantity that is in general
commercial usage for the trade of each
item. All licenses will be strictly limited
by the quantity approved on the license
and no shipping tolerance will be
available to exceed that quantity. A
shipping tolerance of ten percent will be
available on the total approved value for
all commodities subject to the EAR to
account for price uncertainty and price
inflation over the four year validity
period of the license. Additionally, this
rule removes the ‘‘Unit’’ paragraph from
the List of Items Controlled section of
every ECCN on the CCL. BIS will no
longer differentiate between items based
on unit for the availability of shipping
tolerances, so all commodities will be
licensed in the unit of quantity
commonly used in the trade of that
good. This final rule also makes
conforming changes to paragraph
(d)(2)(iii)(A) of § 738.2 (Commerce
Control List (CCL) structure); § 738.4

and paragraphs (c)(1)(ii), (c)(1), (viii)
and (f) of § 750.7 (Issuance of Licenses).
BIS is making these revisions to the
EAR as a result of public comments
received in response to the proposed
rule and to a notice of inquiry (NOI),
Request for Public Comments on
Shipping Tolerances for Export Licenses
Issued by the Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS), that BIS published on
July 5, 2012 (77 FR 39679). In the NOI,
the public was requested to provide
responses to the following three issues:
(1) If the current Export
Administration Regulations (EAR)
shipping tolerance rules should be
maintained or if changes should be
made that facilitate automatic
calculation of the remaining license
value;
(2) If the EAR shipping tolerance rules
were changed, (i) should BIS continue
to exclude certain Export Control
Classification Numbers (ECCNs) from
having an allowable shipping tolerance,
and (ii) should the dollar value-based
shipping tolerance be set at ten percent
to match the Department of State rules;
and
(3) Whether an automatic calculation
of the dollar value-based shipping
tolerance in AES (electronic
decrementation) would assist exporters
in maintaining compliance with the
allowable shipping dollar value of the
license.
BIS received 11 comments in
response to the NOI. Most were
supportive of automatic decrementation
of the license value. One commenter
noted that quantity is not automatically
checked against the licensed amount
under the current DDTC system or the
BIS proposal, and that calculation of
quantity overages presents a risk of
violations. Two commenters noted that
a single percentage for all commodities
would be simpler and easier to
calculate. Additional comments were
outside the scope of the inquiry and
addressed AES specific issues.
BIS received one comment in
response to the November 29 proposed
rule that related to unit paragraphs. The
commenter identified several unit
paragraphs that contained listings for
types of items that are not controlled in
that ECCN. This comment and the BIS
response was also discussed above.
Based on the commenters’ support for
the automatic decrementation and the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
desire for a single, simple shipping
tolerance threshold across the EAR, BIS
is undertaking this revision of the EAR.
Automatic decrementation can only be
calculated on the monetary value of the
shipment, so to simplify and
standardize the shipping tolerances, BIS
is allowing shipping tolerances on value
for all items. Additionally, BIS is no
longer allowing any shipping tolerance
to the quantity approved in the license.
This change requires BIS to revise how
shipping tolerances are calculated and
when they are allowed.
Commodities on the CCL are currently
assigned a unit of quantity in the ‘‘Unit’’
paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section of each ECCN. These units of
quantity are number, dollar value, or
area, weight or other measure. The
commodities are licensed in this unit of
quantity, meaning that a license for an
item denominated in number authorizes
shipments of the commodity until the
number has been reached. For items
licensed in number or area, weight or
other measure, the exporter must
estimate the per unit cost and the
license contains a total dollar value
authorized. For items denominated in
value, the exporter must provide BIS the
number in whatever unit of quantity is
common in that trade and the license
contains a quantity authorized.
Presently, shipping tolerances are
available to allow exporters to legally
exceed the quantity or value on the
license in certain circumstances. Items
denominated in number are eligible for
a shipping tolerance of up to twenty-five
percent of the value authorized on the
license. Items denominated in area,
weight or other measure are eligible for
a shipping tolerance of up to twenty-five
percent of the value and up to ten
percent on the quantity authorized on
the license. Items denominated in value
are not eligible for any shipping
tolerance on the value or the quantity
authorized on the license.
To amend this existing structure, this
final rule standardizes the unit of
measure for all items as the number
based on the unit of quantity commonly
used in the trade of that good. This
means that the applicant will identify
the appropriate unit of quantity on the
license application and the quantity of
the commodity to be exported
calculated in that unit of quantity. For
the majority of commodities, this unit of
quantity will be the number of
individual items, as described in the
ECCN. For example, if an applicant
wishes to export integrated circuits
controlled under ECCN 3A001, they will
identify the number of individual
integrated circuits they would like BIS
to authorize for export.
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700

Once the unit of quantity and number
of items is established, the applicant
will determine the per unit value of the
item and will report that value to BIS.
The applicant will then multiply the per
unit value by the number sought to be
exported to arrive at the total value of
the license and report that to BIS in the
license application. If the license is
granted, the exporter will be limited to
both the number and the value
approved on the license.
This eliminates any distinction
between commodities regarding the
availability or calculation of shipping
tolerances. This rule therefore also
makes shipping tolerances available for
all items up to ten percent of the value
authorized on the license. Each license
authorized by BIS will have both a
number and a value. If the exporter has
shipped the number of items approved
on the license, but has not yet shipped
the total value authorized, the license is
exhausted and no more items may be
shipped under that license. If, however,
the exporter has shipped the total value
of the license, but has not yet shipped
the total number authorized, the
exporter may continue to ship against
the license until the total value shipped
reaches 110% of the value authorized
on the license, or the exporter reaches
the number of items authorized on the
license, whichever occurs first.
Shipping tolerances on value are
allowed to accommodate inflation of the
value of the commodities over the
validity period of the license. BIS has
determined that over the four year
validity period that will be applicable to
most licenses, a ten percent shipping
tolerance is reasonable to accommodate
potential inflation for the foreseeable
future. If a shipping tolerance is not
appropriate for a specific transaction,
BIS may stipulate a different shipping
tolerance on the license. It is the
responsibility of the exporter to ensure
compliance with all license conditions,
including any shipping tolerance
specified on the license.
By standardizing the unit for all items
as the number based on the unit of
quantity commonly used in the trade of
that commodity, BIS has also removed
the need to identify the unit in each
ECCN. Therefore, this rule eliminated
the ‘‘Unit’’ paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section of each ECCN. This
will simplify the CCL and eliminate a
point of confusion for many exporters.
Additionally, the removal of all
‘‘unit’’ paragraphs removes the need to
make the revisions to the ‘‘unit’’
paragraphs that were described in the
November 29 proposed rule. Therefore
the proposed changes to ECCNs 2A292,
2B201, 2B206, 2B209, 2B290, 6A102,

9A120 will not be made, as was
discussed earlier in the ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ changes discussion of
this final rule.
BIS recognizes that for items currently
denominated in number, this rule will
reduce the applicable shipping
tolerance from twenty-five percent of
the total authorized value to ten percent.
To avoid unsettling exporter
expectations on the use of existing
authorizations and avoid confusion, the
changes in shipping tolerances will only
apply to licenses granted after this rule
becomes effective. In addition, because
a purchase order is not needed in order
to apply for a license, applicants that
have a desire or need for an additional
tolerance once this rule becomes
effective may simply request an
additional quantity in the original
license application. Therefore, BIS
believes the impact on applicants will
be minimal, but adopting this simplified
shipping tolerance and removal of the
‘‘Units’’ paragraphs will make the CCL
clearer. The changes implemented in
the final rule will also be an important
step in moving toward decrementing
BIS licenses in AES, which based on the
public comments received in response
to the NOI, is something strongly
supported by the public.
(6) Clarifications to the April 16 (Initial
Implementation) Rule
BIS is making three clarifications to
the April 16 (initial implementation)
rule as a result of questions and
comments from the public that
identified unintended or inconsistent
policy outcomes after the publication of
the final rule. These changes are in
addition to the conforming changes
being made to the April 16, 2013 rule
described above under ‘‘(3) Structural
changes to improve the clarity of the
CCL.’’ As noted above, the April 16
(initial implementation) rule revises the
CCL by adding a structure and related
provisions to control munitions items
that the President has determined no
longer warrant export control on the
USML on the CCL, specifically certain
aircraft, gas turbine engines, and related
items. The initial implementation rule
was published in conjunction with a
Department of State document that
revises the USML so that upon the
effective date of both documents
(October 15, 2013), the USML and CCL
and corresponding regulatory structures
will be complementary. The Department
of Commerce and State will publish
corrections to the April 16 final rules
prior to October 15, 2013. The changes
described here are minor clarifications
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
to correct unintended or inconsistent
policy outcomes, or to make other minor
clarifications to the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule.
BIS conducted a significant amount of
outreach to explain the initial
implementation rule, including
providing a number of opportunities for
the public to submit questions to BIS
about the changes that will become
effective on October 15, 2013. As BIS
has answered these questions, including
conducting outreach to other parts of
the U.S. Government and internally
within BIS, BIS determined that there
was a need to provide these
clarifications to the initial
implementation rule.
(A) Clarification of de Minimis
Exclusion for .y ‘‘600 series’’ Items To
Ensure Consistent Treatment When
Exported or Reexported as Stand-Alone
Items and When Incorporated
The initial implementation rule added
a new paragraph (a)(6) to Section 734.4
(De minimis U.S. content). New
paragraph (a)(6) excludes all ‘‘600
series’’ items from de minimis eligibility
when destined to a D:5 Country in
Supplement No. 1 to part 740. The ‘‘600
series’’ .y items are controlled for AT1,
so these items are subject to a license
requirement for the E:1 countries and
for China because of the PRC military
end-use control. The E:1 countries and
China are also D:5 countries. Therefore,
the exclusion from de minimis
eligibility for .y items for the E:1
countries and China is consistent. The
‘‘600 series’’ .y items are subject to a
license requirement if exported or
reexported to these countries as discrete
items and when incorporated with a
foreign made item because .y items are
not eligible for de minimis because of
paragraph (a)(6).
For the other D:5 countries, however,
there is an inconsistency, because ‘‘600
series’’ .y items are not subject to a
license requirement when exported or
reexported as discrete items. However,
if any .y item is incorporated into a
foreign made item, the foreign made
item would become subject to the EAR
when reexported or exported from
abroad, because of the paragraph (a)(6)
exclusion from de minimis for all ‘‘600
series’’ items for D:5 countries.
To ensure consistent treatment for .y
items, this final rule revises paragraph
(a)(6) to add a heading for paragraph
(a)(6) (‘‘600 series’’) and add new
paragraphs (a)(6)(i) and (a)(6)(ii).
Paragraph (a)(6)(i) specifies there is no
de minimis level for foreign-made items
that incorporate U.S.-origin ‘‘600 series’’
items enumerated or otherwise
described in paragraphs .a through .x of
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
a ‘‘600 series’’ ECCN when destined for
a country listed in Country Group D:5.
To address the inconsistent treatment
of the .y items discussed above, this
final rule adds a new paragraph (a)(6)(ii)
to address the exclusion for ‘‘600 series’’
.y items. This new paragraph will
specify there is no de minimis level for
foreign-made items that incorporate
U.S.-origin ‘‘600 series’’ .y items when
destined for a country listed in Country
Group E:1 or for the People’s Republic
of China (PRC). BIS decided to take this
approach to address the inconsistent
treatment because BIS, in consultation
with its interagency partners, previously
concluded that D:5 countries other than
China and E:1 countries do not present
a high enough diversion risk to warrant
this approach for .y items, which are not
as militarily significant as other ‘‘600
series’’ items (as noted in June 21, 2012
(transition) proposed rule).
(B) Removal of Sentence No Longer
Needed Because of the de Minimis
Changes Included in the Initial
Implementation Rule
In § 740.10 (License Exception
Servicing and replacement of parts and
equipment (RPL) in this final rule, BIS
is removing the second sentence of
paragraph (b)(2)(ii) because it is not
needed in light of the de minimis
changes included in the initial
implementation rule. The second
sentence in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) was
originally proposed in the July 15
(framework) rule and was worded in the
way it was because of the 10% de
minimis rule that was originally
proposed in that rule. Specifically, the
second sentence for the ‘‘600 series’’ did
not extend to parts, components,
accessories, attachments and
attachments contained in commodities
that were made in a foreign country
incorporating authorized U.S.-origin
parts, components, accessories or
attachments. However, after subsequent
review of the public comments and
further consideration, BIS adopted a
simpler de minimis rule for the ‘‘600
series.’’ Because countries listed in D:5
are subject to a 0% de minimis rule for
‘‘600 series’’ items, except for .y items
as described above, there is no longer a
need for the second sentence in
(b)(2)(ii). Therefore, in this final rule,
BIS is removing the second sentence
that was specific to the ‘‘600 series.’’
The requirements in (b)(2)(ii) that apply
to non-‘‘600 series’’ parts, components,
accessories, and attachments will apply
to the ‘‘600 series.’’

(C) Clarification of What ECCNs Are
Considered Controlled for AT-Only, for
Purposes of ‘‘specially designed’’
The April 16 (initial implementation)
rule added a new definition of
‘‘specially designed.’’ This final rule
adds a sentence to the end of Note 1 of
‘‘specially designed’’ definition to
clarify which ECCNs are controlled for
AT-only reasons for purposes of the
‘‘specially designed’’ definition. This
sentence lists seventy-three ECCNs,
which are the following ECCNs: 0A999,
1A995, 1A999, 1C990, 1C996, 1C998,
1D993, 1D999, 1E994, 1E998, 2A991,
2A994, 2A999, 2B991, 2B992, 2B993,
2B996, 2B997, 2B998, 2B999, 2D991,
2D992, 2D994, 3A991, 3A992, 3A999,
3B991, 3B992, 3C992, 3D991, 3E991,
4A994, 4D993, 4D994, 4E992, 4E993,
5A991, 5C991, 5D991, 5E991, 5A992,
5D992, 5E992, 6A991, 6A992, 6A993,
6A994, 6A995, 6A996, 6A997, 6A999,
6B995, 6C992, 6C994, 6D992, 6D993,
6E992, 6E993, 7B994, 7D994, 7E994,
8A992, 8D992, 8E992, 9A990, 9A992,
9B990, 9B991, 9D990, 9D991, 9E990,
9E991 and 9E993. ECCNs controlled for
AT-only reasons are ECCNs where the
reason for control in the License
Requirements paragraph only includes
AT, AT1 or AT2. In addition to the
seventy-three ECCNs that include only
an AT reason for control, there are
eleven additional ECCNs on the CCL
that are controlled predominantly for
AT reasons on the CCL. These ECCNs
include, in addition to the AT control,
an RS control only for Iraq (0B999,
0D999, 1B999, 1C992, 1C995, 1C997,
1C999); a UN control (0B986 and
9A991); or an RS1 control (6A998.b and
7A994 for the QRS11). These eleven
ECCNs are considered controlled for
AT-only ECCNs (excluding for the RS1
controlled portions of 6A998 and
7A994) for purposes of the ‘‘specially
designed’’ definition. This is because
although they contain another reason for
control, they are controlled
predominantly for AT reasons.
This final rule adds a sentence to the
end of Note 1 to identify these eleven
additional ECCNs that are controlled
predominantly for AT reasons are
treated as ECCNs controlled only for AT
reasons for purposes of ‘‘specially
designed,’’ although two exclusions are
made for the portions of ECCNs 6A998
and 7A994 that are controlled for RS1
reasons. The new sentence this final
rule adds to Note 1 specifies ECCNs:
0B986, 0B999, 0D999, 1B999, 1C992,
1C995, 1C997, 1C999, 6A998 (except for
.b), 7A994 (except for the QRS11) and
9A991 are treated as ECCNs controlled
only for AT reasons for purposes of
‘‘specially designed.’’

(D) Clarification on the Applicability of
Paragraph (b)(3) and (b)(4) ‘releases’
From ‘‘specially designed’’ for ECCNs
Controlled for AT-Only Reasons
This final rule also adds to the
‘‘specially designed’’ definition a new
Note to paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4).
This new note clarifies when paragraph
(b)(3) and (b)(4) can be used to ‘release’
‘‘parts,’’ ‘‘components,’’ ‘‘accessories,’’
‘‘attachments,’’ or ‘‘software’’ for ECCNs
that are controlled for AT-only reasons.
Because the ‘release’ criteria of
paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4) use
‘‘controlled for AT-only reasons,’’ the
application of these paragraphs for
ECCNs controlled for AT-only reasons
that use ‘‘specially designed’’ is being
clarified. BIS received two questions
from the public on this aspect of the
definition. BIS has provided guidance
on how to interpret the applicability of
paragraph (b)(3) and (b)(4) for ECCNs
controlled for AT-only reasons. BIS
considered posting guidance on this
interpretation on the BIS Web site, but,
for ease of use for the public and to
ensure consistent application of the
interpretation, BIS decided it was better
to add this interpretation as a new
‘‘Note to paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4).’’
This is not a change in how BIS
intended the definition to apply, but it
does make this interpretation explicit
for the public.
The new note being added in this
final rule specifies that ECCNs
controlled for AT-only reasons that use
‘‘specially designed’’ are eligible for
‘release’ under paragraphs (b)(3) and
(b)(4). However, this new note clarifies
that the criteria for ‘release’ under (b)(3)
or (b)(4) must be met by another ECCN
controlled for AT-only reasons or an
EAR99 item in addition to the AT-only
ECCN being reviewed for ‘release’ from
‘‘specially designed.’’
The new note being added also
includes three examples to assist
understanding. The first two examples
highlight when a ‘‘part’’ used in an
ECCN controlled for AT-only reasons is
eligible for ‘release.’ The first example
states, if a single gasket is used in ECCN
9A990 tractors (9A990 includes a
control on ‘‘specially designed’’ ‘‘parts’’)
and also pick-up trucks designated as
EAR99 that are in ‘‘production,’’ the
single gasket would be ‘released’ from
‘‘specially designed’’ on the basis of
paragraph (b)(3). The second example
being added to the new note in this final
rule states that if the single gasket is or
was used in 9A990 tractors and also
9A991.b aircraft (another AT-only
ECCN) that are in ‘‘production,’’ the
gasket would be ‘released’ from
‘‘specially designed’’ on the basis of
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
61897
paragraph (b)(3). The newly added note
includes a third example to highlight
when paragraph (b)(3) would not be
available by noting that if the single
gasket is or was only used in the
‘‘production’’ of ECCN 9A990 tractors
that are in ‘‘production,’’ then paragraph
(b)(3) would not be available. Lastly, the
note being added clarifies that the same
concept applies for paragraph (b)(4).
(E) Clarification of the Definition of
‘‘end item’’ That Was Added in the
Initial Implementation Final Rule
This final rule is revising the
definition of ‘‘end item’’ that was added
in § 772.1 (Definitions of terms as used
in the EAR) to add the words ‘‘system’’
and ‘‘equipment’’ before the phrase
‘‘assembled commodity.’’ This change is
not substantive and is limited to
clarifying the intended scope of the
definition of ‘‘end item’’ as it relates to
the terms ‘‘system’’ and ‘‘equipment.’’
(F) Clarification of the Definition of
‘‘equipment’’ That Was Added in the
Initial Implementation Final Rule
This final rule is revising the
definition of ‘‘equipment’’ that was
added in § 772.1 to make three
clarifications. First, this final rule
clarifies the relationship between
‘‘equipment’’ and ‘‘end items’’ and
‘‘systems’’ by revising the phrase
‘‘operate together to perform a function
of an end item or system’’ to add the
phrase ‘‘as, or for’’ after ‘‘of’’ so it reads
‘‘operate together to perform a function
of, as, or for an end item or system.’’
This change is not substantive and is
limited to clarifying the intended scope
of the definition of ‘‘end item’’ as it
relates to the terms ‘‘system’’ and
‘‘equipment.’’ This change specifies a
combination of ‘‘parts,’’ ‘‘components,’’
‘‘accessories,’’ ‘‘attachments,’’
‘‘firmware,’’ or ‘‘software’’ is a system
considered ‘‘equipment’’ when that
combination of commodities or
software: Operate to perform a function
‘‘of’’ an end item or system; operate to
perform a function ‘‘as’’ an end item or
system; or operate to perform a function
‘‘for’’ another end item or system.
Second, this final rule is revising the
definition of ‘‘equipment’’ to delete the
word ‘‘specialized’’ before the word
‘‘function’’ because the word is not
needed and has the potential to create
ambiguity regarding what is
‘‘equipment.’’ BIS provides guidance
here on the meaning of function to
clarify what is intended with the use of
the word function in the ‘‘equipment’’
definition. For purposes of the
‘‘equipment’’ definition, function means
the control criteria specified in an ECCN
entry, which in certain cases is limited

to the heading, and for those ECCNs that
use an ‘‘items’’ paragraph, the function
is the control criteria in the respective
‘‘items’’ paragraph that enumerates or
otherwise describes the ‘‘equipment.’’ In
certain cases the specialized function
may be described in fairly broad terms,
such as equipment for military end use.
In other cases the control parameters
that are included with the term
‘‘equipment’’ may be quite detailed. The
‘‘equipment’’ definition includes both of
those types of entries. This guidance on
the meaning of function also applies to
the definition of ‘‘system’’ discussed
below under (G) where the word
‘‘specialized’’ is also being removed for
the same reason as in the ‘‘equipment’’
definition.
Third, this final rule is adding two
sentences to the end of the ‘‘equipment’’
definition. The originally proposed
‘‘equipment’’ definition that was
included in the proposed July 15
(framework) rule, stated that
‘‘equipment’’ is a subset of ‘‘end items.’’
However, this sentence was not
included in the ‘‘equipment’’ definition
included in the initial implementation
final rule. The relationship between the
broader term ‘‘end item’’ and
‘‘equipment’’ was discussed in the
Background section of the initial
implementation final rule on pages 78
FR 22692 and 22693. However, after
further consideration and to address
questions BIS has received on the
relationship between these two terms,
BIS has determined a sentence should
be added to the ‘‘equipment’’ definition
to clarify that ‘‘equipment’’ may be a
subset of ‘‘end items,’’ when it meets the
definition of an ‘‘end item,’’ ready for
use with only the addition of
ammunition, or fuel or energy source
required to place it in an operating state.
When ‘‘equipment’’ does not meet this
definition, it is categorized as on the
definition with which it does comply.
This same type of concept also applies
to the definition of ‘‘system.’’
(G) Clarification of the Definition of
‘‘system’’ That Was Added in the Initial
Implementation Final Rule
This final rule is revising the
definition of ‘‘system,’’ which was
added to § 772.1 in the initial
implementation final rule, to delete the
word ‘‘specialized’’ before the word
‘‘function’’ because the word is not
needed and has the potential to create
ambiguity regarding what is a ‘‘system.’’
This final rule is also removing the
single quotes around function because
the word is not defined in the ‘‘system’’
definition. Lastly, this final rule is
adding a new Note 1 to the definition
to reference industrial standards

established by INCOSE and NASA that
provide examples for when
commodities and software operate
together to perform a function as a
system.
(H) Clarification of the Definition of
‘‘build-to-print technology’’ That Was
Added in the Initial Implementation
Final Rule
This final rule is revising the
definition of ‘‘build-to-print
technology,’’ which was added to
§ 772.1 in the initial implementation
final rule, to add the phrase ‘‘any of the
following’’ in the introductory text of
paragraph (1) to clarify the three criteria
in paragraphs (1)(i)–(iii) use the
disjunctive ‘‘or.’’ The use of ‘‘or’’ in
paragraph (1) after paragraphs (1)(ii)
already states this requirement, but the
addition of the phrase ‘‘any of the
following’’ in the introductory text of
paragraph (1) will make it easier to
understand. This final rule is also
revising the definition to remove the
phrase ‘‘the minimum’’ before the term
‘‘necessary’’ because it is not needed
and has the potential to cause confusion
given necessary is not a term that is
qualified by degree. Technology is
either necessary or not necessary, so
there is no need to include the
qualifying phrase ‘‘the minimum’’
before the term ‘‘technology.’’
(I) Initial Implementation Rule
Conforming Changes to This Final Rule
As noted above, in this final rule, BIS
is also making conforming changes to
the initial implementation rule, which
are described under (3) Structural
changes to improve the clarity of the
CCL. These changes are described under
heading (3) above because they are
easier to understand when discussed in
the context of those structural changes
being made to the other ECCNs (non‘‘600 series’’ ECCNs) on the CCL.
(J) ECCNs 9B610 and 9B619
This final rule revises the Related
Controls paragraph in ECCN 9B610 and
adds new language to the Related
Controls paragraph in ECCN 6B619. The
revision to 9B610 adds ‘‘equipment’’ to
the list of commodities that are
controlled for the aircraft specified
under VIII(h)(1). The new language in
9B619 identifies related controls for
engines specified under XIX(f)(1). The
intent is to clarify that all parts,
components, accessories, attachments,
and equipment (which includes
development, production, operation,
maintenance, inspection and test
equipment) are controlled under the
USML in either VIII(h)(1) or XIX(f)(1) for
specified aircraft and engines,

respectively. ECCNs 9B610 and 9B619
continue to control the described parts,
components, accessories, attachments,
and equipment (which includes
development, production, operation,
maintenance, inspection and test
equipment) not specified on the USML.
Although the Export Administration
Act expired on August 20, 2001, the
President, through Executive Order
13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001
Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by
Executive Order 13637 of March 8,
2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013) and
as extended by the Notice of August 8,
2013, 78, 2013, 78 FR 49107 (August 12,
2013), has continued the Export
Administration Regulations in effect
under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act. 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.
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, distribute 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 final rule has been
designated a ‘‘significant regulatory
action,’’ although not economically
significant, under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly,
the rule has been reviewed by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB).
2. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, no person is required
to respond to nor be subject to a penalty
for failure to comply with a collection
of information, subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Control Number. This rule
affects the following approved
collection: Simplified Network
Application Processing System (control
number 0694–0088), which includes,
among other things, license applications
and carries a burden estimate of 43.8
minutes for a manual or electronic
submission. Total burden hours
associated with the PRA and OMB
control number 0694–0088 are expected
to decrease slightly as a result of this
rule because of the removal of ECCN

pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
8A918 and the clarification of the use of
the terms ‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components’’ on
the CCL. The intent of the clarification
of the use of the terms ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ on the CCL is to
maintain the current scope of controls,
although in certain cases this greater
specificity in how these terms are being
used may result in a slight reduction in
license applications received for those
entries where ‘‘parts’’ is not being added
and previously the undefined the term
components was used. In the context of
these ECCNs, BIS, along with the other
agencies that reviewed this rule,
determined the intent is not to include
‘‘parts.’’ However, because previously a
small number of license applications
may have been received for
commodities that would meet the
‘‘parts’’ definition that was added in the
initial implementation final rule, BIS
has determined this may result in a
slight decrease in the number of license
applications received.
3. This rule does not contain policies
with Federalism implications as that
term is defined under E.O. 13132.
4. The Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA), as amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq., generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility
analysis for any rule subject to the
notice and comment rulemaking
requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) or any
other statute, unless the agency certifies
that the rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Under section
605(b) of the RFA, however, if the head
of an agency certifies that a rule will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities,
the statute does not require the agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility
analysis. Pursuant to section 605(b), the
Chief Counsel for Regulation,
Department of Commerce, submitted a
memorandum to the Chief Counsel for
Advocacy, Small Business
Administration, certifying that the
November 29 proposed rule will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities. A
summary of the factual basis for the
certification was provided in the
November 29 proposed rule and is not
repeated here. BIS did not receive any
comments in response to the proposed
rule regarding the economic impact of
this rule or to the certification made by
the Chief Counsel. As a result, a final
regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required and one was not prepared.
5. Section 3(D) of this rule adds a
‘‘REPORTING REQUIREMENTS’’
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:33 Oct 03, 2013
Jkt 232001
paragraph to ECCNs 1C001, 4D001,
7D002, 7D003, 7E001 and 7E002. This
addition to the Export Administration
Regulations was not included in the
November 29 proposed rule. The
Department finds that there is good
cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive
the provisions of the Administrative
Procedure Act requiring prior notice
and the opportunity for public comment
because they are either unnecessary or
contrary to the public interest. This
addition alerts exporters that reporting
requirements were imposed on these
ECCNs in the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule through the
changes to § 743.1 and the addition of
the Wassenaar Arrangement Sensitive
and Very Sensitive Lists as Supplements
Nos. 6 and 7 to Part 774. This addition
to this final rule does not create any
new reporting requirements. Without
the addition of these Report
Requirements paragraphs to the EAR
prior to the October 15, 2013 effective
date of the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule, exporters who
review these ECCNs will not be aware
of the need to review the revised § 743.1
and the Wassenaar Arrangement
Sensitive and Very Sensitive Lists
added as Supplements Nos. 6 and 7 to
Part 774.
6. The revisions to the Export
Administration Regulations described in
Section 6 of this rule were not included
in the November 29 proposed rule. The
Department finds that there is good
cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive
the provisions of the Administrative
Procedure Act requiring prior notice
and the opportunity for public comment
because they are either unnecessary or
contrary to the public interest. The
majority of these revisions are nonsubstantive, only clarifying the
regulations and thus prior notice and
the opportunity for public comment is
unnecessary.
The revisions described in Section
(6)(A) provide a clarification that ‘‘600
series’’ .y items are available for de
minimis treatment when incorporated
into foreign origin items destined for
any country for which a license would
not be required for direct shipment from
the United States. In a standard de
minimis analysis, only the U.S. origin
content that would require a license for
direct shipment from the United States
to the destination of the foreign origin
item is included toward the de minimis
percentage. As ‘‘600 series’’ .y items do
not require a license to D:5 countries,
other than the E:1 countries and the
People’s Republic of China, it would be
contrary to the EAR to include the .y
items in the calculation of foreign origin
items destined to those countries.
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
61899
Additionally, as all foreign origin items
incorporating more than a de minimis
level of ‘‘600 series’’ parts and
components are, by definition, military
items and controlled in 0A919 with an
NS1 and RS1 reason for control,
requiring worldwide licensing, foreign
manufacturers will have an incentive to
avoid sourcing U.S. origin .y items
when the item would not otherwise
exceed de minimis. Notice and public
comment procedure for this revision is
contrary to the public interest. If this
revision is not effective on October 15,
2013 simultaneous with the April 16
(initial implementation) rule, foreign
origin military items that incorporate
‘‘600 series’’ .y items will be subject to
greater controls than the ‘‘600 series’’ .y
items would be for direct shipment from
the United States. This inconsistent
result was not intended by BIS and
would result in discouraging foreign
manufacturers from sourcing U.S. origin
‘‘600 series’’ parts and components
without any positive impact on national
security. This would frustrate a major
purpose of the Export Control Reform
Initiative.
The revisions described in Section
6(C) correct an oversight in the term ATonly, as used in the ‘‘specially
designed’’ definition, to allow certain
ECCNs with additional narrow reasons
for control to be considered within the
paragraph (b)(3) release provision.
When BIS published the rule
implementing the definition for
‘‘specially designed,’’ BIS did not intend
to exclude the eleven ECCNs identified
above which are predominantly
controlled only for AT reasons from the
paragraph (b)(3) release in the ‘‘specially
designed’’ definition. Excluding these
eleven ECCNs from the paragraph (b)(3)
release would cause, for example, parts
common to a military aircraft controlled
in ECCN 9A610 and a commercial
airliner controlled in ECCN 9A991 to be
‘‘specially designed’’ for the military
aircraft and therefore controlled in
9A610.x with an NS1 and RS1 reason
for control, requiring worldwide
licensing. In this final rule, BIS amends
the language to correct the inadvertent
error. Notice and public comment
procedure for this revision is contrary to
the public interest. If this revision is not
effective on October 15, 2013
simultaneous with the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule, the paragraph
(b)(3) release of the ‘‘specially designed’’
definition will not operate as BIS
intended and a significant amount of
commercial trade may be subject to
‘‘600 series’’ controls.

controlled is provided next to each
ECCN. In certain ECCNs, the description
is a summary and will direct you to ‘‘see
List of Items Controlled’’ for a complete
list of items classified under those
respective ECCNs. The ‘‘Items’’
paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section will describe all of the items that
the ECCN controls for the portions of

pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
the heading that precede the ‘‘see List of
Items Controlled’’ phrase. Portions of
the heading that follow the phrase are
complete descriptions of the items
controlled by that portion of the
heading. If ‘‘see List of Items
Controlled’’ appears at the end of the
heading, the ‘‘Items’’ paragraph in the
List of Items Controlled section is the
exclusive, complete list of the items the
ECCN controls.
*
*
*
*
*
(iii) * * *
(C) Items. This paragraph describes
the relationship between the ‘‘items’’
paragraph and ECCN headings and will
assist your understanding as you
classify items on the CCL. When the
heading contains the phrase ‘‘see List of
Items Controlled,’’ the portion of the
heading preceding that phrase is only a
summary of the items controlled by the
ECCN and the ‘‘items’’ paragraph
contains an exclusive list of items
described in the heading. Paragraphs
(d)(2)(iv)(C)(1), (2) and (3) of this section
provide examples of the three different
uses of the phrase ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ in ECCN headings. Each
heading on the CCL uses one of these
three structures. Understanding the
relationship between the heading and
the ‘‘items’’ paragraph is important
when classifying items that are ‘‘subject
to the EAR’’ on the CCL.
(1) ‘‘(See List of Items Controlled)’’ is
at the end of the ECCN heading. An
example of an ECCN where all of the
heading text precedes the phrase ‘‘(see
List of Items Controlled)’’ is ECCN
8A002 Marine systems, equipment,
‘‘parts’’ and ‘‘components,’’ as follows
(see List of Items Controlled). ECCNs
1A001, 3A001, 6A001, 7A004 and
9A012 are other examples where all of
the heading text precedes the phrase
‘‘(see List of Items Controlled).’’ In these
types of headings, the items paragraphs
must be reviewed to determine whether
your item is contained within the
heading and classified under that ECCN.
(2) ‘‘(See List of Items Controlled)’’ is
in the middle of the ECCN heading. If
the phrase ‘‘(see List of Items
Controlled)’’ appears in the middle of
the ECCN heading, then all portions of
the heading that follow the phrase ‘‘(see
List of Items Controlled)’’ will list items
controlled in addition to the list in the
‘‘items’’ paragraph. An example of such
a heading is ECCN 2B992 Non‘‘numerically controlled’’ machine tools
for generating optical quality surfaces,
(see List of Items Controlled) and
‘‘specially designed’’ ‘‘parts’’ and
‘‘components’’ therefor. Under the
ECCN 2B992 example, the ‘‘items’’
paragraph must be reviewed to
VerDate Mar<15>2010

determine whether your item is
contained within the first part of the
heading (‘‘non-‘numerically controlled’
machine tools for generating optical
quality surfaces’’) and classified under
2B992. The second part of the ECCN
2B999 heading (‘‘and ‘specially
designed’ ‘parts’ and ‘components’
therefor’’) contains the exclusive list
described in the heading. ECCNs 1A006,

Shipping tolerances.
Under some circumstances, you may
use a license issued for the export of
items from the United States to export
more than the value shown on that
license. This additional amount is
called a shipping tolerance. This section
tells you, as the licensee, when you may
take advantage of a shipping tolerance
and the amount of shipping tolerance
you are permitted to use.
(a) If you have already shipped the
full quantity of items approved on your
license, you may not use this shipping
tolerance provision. No further
shipment may be made under the
license.
(b) If you have not shipped the full
quantity of items approved on the
license, the value of all of your
shipments under one license, up to the
full quantity approved on the license,
may exceed the total dollar value stated
on that license by up to 10%, unless;
(1) Your license stipulates a specific
shipping tolerance; or
(2) Your item is controlled for short
supply reasons and a different tolerance
has been established. (See part 754 of
the EAR).

Build-to-Print technology. (1) This is
‘‘production’’ ‘‘technology’’ that is
sufficient for an inherently capable end
user to produce or repair a commodity
from engineering drawings without any
of the following:
(i) Revealing ‘‘development’’
‘‘technology,’’ such as design
methodology, engineering analysis,
detailed process or manufacturing
know-how;
(ii) Revealing the production
engineering or process improvement
aspect of the ‘‘technology;’’ or
(iii) Requiring assistance from the
provider of the technology to produce or
repair the commodity.
(2) Acceptance, test, or inspection
criteria pertaining to the commodity at
issue is included within the scope of
‘‘build-to-print technology’’ only if it is
necessary to verify that the commodity
is acceptable.
*
*
*
*
*
End item. This is a system, equipment
or assembled commodity ready for its
intended use. Only ammunition, or fuel
or other energy source is required to
place it in an operating state. Examples
of end items include ships, aircraft,
computers, firearms, and milling
machines.
*
*
*
*
*
Equipment. This is a combination of
parts, components, accessories,
attachments, firmware, or software that
operate together to perform a function
of, as, or for an end item or system.
Equipment may be a subset of ‘‘end
items’’ based on the characteristics of
the equipment. Equipment that meets
the definition of an end-item is an enditem. Equipment that does not meet the
definition of an end-item is a part,
component, accessory, attachment,
firmware, or software.

Note to paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4):
ECCNs controlled for AT-only reasons that

criteria for release under (b)(3) or (b)(4) must
be met by another ECCN controlled for ATonly reasons or an EAR99 item in addition
to the AT-only ECCN being reviewed for
release from ‘‘specially designed.’’ For
example, if a single gasket is used in ECCN
9A990 tractors (9A990 includes a control on
‘‘specially designed’’ ‘‘parts’’) and also pickup trucks designated as EAR99 that are in
‘‘production’’, the single gasket would be
released from ‘‘specially designed’’ on the
basis of paragraph (b)(3). Or if the single
gasket is or was used in 9A990 tractors and
also 9A991.b aircraft (another AT-only
controlled ECCN), that are in ‘‘production,’’
the gasket would be released from ‘‘specially
designed’’ on the basis of paragraph (b)(3).
Alternatively, if the single gasket is or was
only used in ECCN 9A990 tractors that are in

not be available. This same concept applies
for paragraph (b)(4).

■
21. Revise § 774.1 to read as follows:
§ 774.1
Introduction.
(a) Scope of the control list. In this
part, references to the EAR are
references to 15 CFR chapter VII,
subchapter C. The Bureau of Industry
and Security (BIS) maintains the
Commerce Control List (CCL) that
includes ‘‘items’’—i.e., ‘‘commodities,’’
‘‘software,’’ and ‘‘technology’’—subject
to the authority of BIS. The CCL does
not include items exclusively controlled
for export by another department or
agency of the U.S. Government, though
in instances where other agencies
administer controls over related items,
entries in the CCL may contain a
reference to such controls. In addition,
those items ‘‘subject to the EAR’’ but not
identified on the CCL are identified by
the designator ‘‘EAR99.’’ See § 734.2(a)
of the EAR for items that are ‘‘subject to
the EAR.’’ EAR Part 738 contains an
explanation of the organization of the
CCL and its relationship to the Country
Chart.
(b) ECCN cross-references for items
subject to exclusive jurisdiction of
another agency. (1) Prior to October 15,
2013, the CCL contained certain ECCNs
that were only included as cross
references to items subject to the export
control regulations administered by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
(2) ECCNs formerly listed on the CCL
that, as of October 15, 2013 were subject
to the export licensing authority of the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission at 10
CFR part 110 are: 0A001, 0B001, 0B002,
0B003, 0B004, 0B005, 0B006, 0C001,
0C002, 0C004, 0C005, 0C006, 0C201 and
1C012.
(3) Multilateral export control regime
references are provided, as an additional
point of historical reference.
Note to paragraph (b): As of October 15,
2013 ECCN 0D001 is subject to the export
licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (see 10 CFR part 110), and
ECCN 0E001 is subject to the export licensing
authority of the Department of Energy (see 10
CFR part 810), but certain portions of these
entries are also ‘‘subject to the ITAR’’ (see 22
CFR parts 120 through 130). These ECCNs are
retained on the CCL as a cross reference.
(c) Where to find the CCL? The CCL
is contained in Supplement No. 1 to this
part, and Supplement No. 2 to this part
contains the General Technology and
Software Notes relevant to entries
contained in the CCL.
(d) Conventions related to the use of
quotation marks on the CCL. The use of
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
61903
double quotation marks on the CCL is
intended to be an aid to alert you to
terms used on the CCL that are defined
in part 772 (Definitions of Terms), or for
purposes of ECCNs, where a definition
is provided in the ‘‘related definitions’’
paragraph in the License Requirements
section of ECCNs or sometimes in Notes
and Technical Notes for particular
ECCNs and that definition is specific to
that particular ECCN. In this sense the
quotes are helpful both in the use of
single and double quotes, but a good
compliance practice is to familiarize
yourself with the defined terms in part
772, and when reviewing a control
parameter on the CCL that uses a term
that is not in quotes to be aware it may
be defined in part 772. It is also a useful
compliance practice to review the
‘‘Related Definitions’’ paragraph and
Notes and Technical Notes to determine
if the term is defined for purposes of a
particular ECCN.
(1) Use of double quotes. If a term on
the CCL uses double quotes it means
there is a defined term in part 772.
However, the absence of double quotes
does not mean that a term used on the
CCL is not defined in part 772. Because
the CCL includes many terms that are
defined in part 772, BIS’s practice is to
use double quotes for certain key terms
and to use double quotes when needed
for consistency with multilateral export
control regime based entries, such as
many derived from control lists, in
particular for the Wassenaar
Arrangement that also uses the double
quotes convention. However, because of
the large number of defined terms used
on the CCL and a desire to avoid
hindering readability by placing quotes
around too many words used in
particular ECCNs, BIS’s practice is to
not add double quotes around certain
terms, such as items and commodities.
This convention also applies to the use
of double quotes within the Definition
of Terms section under part 772.
(2) Use of single quotes. The CCL also
includes a convention regarding the use
of single quotes. Single quotes on the
CCL identify a term as a defined term in
the context of a particular ECCN. This
convention also applies to the use of
single quotes within the Definition of
Terms section under part 772.

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule implements changes that were proposed on
November 29, 2012 in a proposed rule entitled Revisions to the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) To Make the Commerce Control List
(CCL) Clearer. The changes in the November 29 proposed rule were
informed by public comments received in response to an advance notice
of proposed rulemaking entitled Commerce Control List: Revising
Descriptions of Items and Foreign Availability published as part of the
President's Export Control Reform (ECR) Initiative on December 9, 2010.
This final rule implements changes that can be made to the CCL without
requiring changes to multilateral export control regime guidelines or
lists.
This final rule also makes conforming changes and minor
clarifications as a result of the publication of two final rules
implementing the Export Control Reform Initiative: the April 16, 2013
final rule entitled Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations:
Initial Implementation of Export Control Reform; and the July 8, 2013
final rule entitled Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations:
Military Vehicles; Vessels of War; Submersible Vessels, Oceanographic
Equipment; Related Items; and Auxiliary and Miscellaneous Items that
the President Determines No Longer Warrant Control under the United
States Munitions List.
Lastly, this final rule is making revisions to the EAR as a result
of public comments received in response to the November 29 proposed
rule and to a notice of inquiry (NOI) entitled Request for Public
Comments on Shipping Tolerances for Export Licenses Issued by the
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), that BIS published on July 5,
2012.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on October 15, 2013,
except that amendatory instructions 25, 28, 31 and 35.c to Supplement
No. 1 to part 774 are effective January 6, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This final rule implements changes proposed on November 29, 2012 in
a proposed rule entitled Revisions to the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) To Make the Commerce Control List (CCL) Clearer. The
changes in the November 29 proposed rule were also informed by public
comments received in response to an advance notice of proposed
rulemaking entitled Commerce Control List: Revising Descriptions of
Items and Foreign Availability as part of the President's Export
Control Reform (ECR) Initiative that was published by BIS on December
9, 2010 (75 FR 76664). The December 9 notice sought, among other
things, public comments on how descriptions of items controlled on the
Commerce Control List (CCL) could be made clearer.
Although the revisions proposed in the November 29 proposed rule
originated with the ECR initiative, the November 29 proposed rule and
this final rule are consistent with Executive Order 13563. Executive
Order 13563 requires agencies to review their ``existing significant
regulations, and consider how best to promote retrospective analysis of
rules that may be outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively
burdensome, and to modify, streamline, expand, or repeal them in
accordance with what has been learned.'' In response to this
requirement, on August 23, 2011, Commerce released a plan for the
review of its regulations. This proposed rule was identified by the
Department as part of its plan for the retrospective analysis of
regulations and is being implemented today in final form with the
publication of this final rule. The Department's plan may be found at:
https://open.commerce.gov/news/2011/08/23/commerce-plan-retrospective-analysis-existing-rules.
This rule implements changes that can be made to the CCL without
requiring a multilateral regime change. For certain changes BIS
identified that would make the CCL clearer, but would require a
multilateral export control regime change to implement, the U.S.
Government is developing regime change proposals for consideration by
the relevant multilateral export control regimes. BIS will implement
those changes, if approved by the multilateral export control regimes,
in separate rulemakings.
To better facilitate intelligibility of the provisions implemented
by BIS, this final rule identifies new phrases or headings within
double quotations. The EAR identifies terms defined in part 772 with
double quotations as well. Not all the terms in double quotations in
this final rule are defined in part 772. The additional double
quotations around new phrases, headings, or commonly used words, are
used in the Background section of this final rule to assist in the
readability of the text.
The descriptions of the changes implemented in this final rule are
organized under the four subject headings used in the November 29
proposed rule and two additional subject headings. The descriptions
include summaries of the public comments received and BIS's responses
to those comments. The fifth subject heading describes changes that are
being implemented as a result of comments received in response to a
notice of inquiry (NOI) that BIS published on July 5, 2012 (77 FR
39679), entitled Request for Public Comments on Shipping Tolerances for
Export Licenses Issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).
The sixth subject heading describes clarifications to the final rule
published on April 16, 2013 (78 FR 22660) entitled Revisions to the
Export Administration Regulations: Initial Implementation of Export
Control Reform (the April 16 (initial implementation) rule). The public
comments BIS received in response to the notice of inquiry prompted BIS
to include these changes in this final rule because they are not only
responsive to the public comments, but they will also make the CCL
clearer and easier to use.
The six headings are:
(1) Clarifications to existing CCL controls, including the use of
the terms ``parts'' and ``components'' on the CCL;
(2) Changes to conform the CCL to the multilateral export control
regime control lists and previous amendments to the EAR;
(3) Structural changes to improve the clarity of the CCL;
(4) Removal of fourteen Export Control Classification Numbers
(ECCNs) subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC);
(5) Revisions to Shipping Tolerances and removal of all ``Unit''
paragraphs; and
(6) Clarifications to the April 16 (initial implementation) rule.

The public comment period for the November 29 proposed rule closed
on January 28, 2013. BIS received 10 public comments in response. When
referring to specific comments, BIS identifies those as Commenters No.
1 through No. 10. The comments, including the table for the Record of
Public Comments, can be found on the BIS Web site at https://efoia.bis.doc.gov/index.php/electronic-foia/index-of-documents.
Most commenters thought the cumulative impact of the November 29
proposed rule would be beneficial for exporters and would improve the
clarity of the CCL. BIS did not accept some of the comments and
addressed others in ways different than the recommendation. Commenter
No. 7, for example, commended and fully supported the effort by BIS to
modify the CCL in order to make all sections consistent and the CCL
easier to read and interpret. Commenter No. 7 agreed with BIS that the
cumulative impact of the proposed changes should improve clarity, and
hence understanding, of the CCL. Commenter No. 7 expressed support for
the rule, and noted that the increased ease of use of the CCL would
especially benefit exporters of items that may transfer to the CCL as a
result of Export Control Reform. Commenter No. 9 noted that the CCL
contains a number of ambiguities and inconsistencies that require
attention. Commenter No. 9 endorsed the recommendations specified in
the November 29 proposed rule, asserting that the modifications, if
implemented, will improve the overall clarity of the CCL. Commenter No.
3, however, was critical of BIS's proposal to remove fourteen NRC
ECCNs. Commenter No. 8 objected to the proposed ``parts'' and
``components'' changes and questioned whether the changes in the
November 29 rule were too extensive for industry to be able to review
in a single proposed rule.
Some comments identified specific changes that needed to be made to
achieve the objectives of certain proposed changes. Others identified
formatting errors or typos in the November 29 rule. Some commenters
also suggested additional changes that were not specifically proposed
in the November 29 rule, either by specifically identifying additional
changes or highlighting where additional review should be conducted
under the CCL clean-up effort. BIS has incorporated some of these
changes, for example the formatting errors and typos, although other
changes may need to be addressed in subsequent reviews of the CCL. An
effective control list is not static; therefore, although this final
rule implements a large number of changes to improve the CCL, no single
rule, including this final rule, can eliminate the need for review of
the CCL to ensure that it is clear and the scope reflects the current
national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.
Some comments addressed issues outside the scope of the November 29
proposed rule. BIS did not address these comments in this final rule,
but it provides a brief overview of the issues raised by the commenters
for transparency. Commenter No. 5 submitted comments that were
submitted previously on July 23, 2012 in response to a BIS proposed
rule dealing with personal protective equipment and the proposed ``600
series'' ECCN 1A613. This comment is not addressed in this final rule
because it is outside the scope of the November 29 rule, but this
comment is being evaluated along with other comments received in
response to the June 7, 2012 proposed rule as BIS prepares the final
rule for publication. Another comment received that was outside the
scope of the November 29 proposed rule dealt with the proposed
definition of ``components'' that was set forth in the proposed rule
published on July 15, 2011 (76 FR 41958). BIS completed its review,
responded to comments received on the definition of ``components,'' and
published a definition of ``components'' in the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule. Lastly, one commenter made a number of
suggestions regarding the meaning and use of the term ``specially
designed'' and regarding other design related terms on the CCL. These
comments are outside the scope of the November 29 proposed rule. BIS
proposed a definition of ``specially designed'' in a proposed rule
published on June 19, 2012, and also an advance notice of proposed
rulemaking published on the same day that requested comments on the
feasibility of enumerating ``specially designed'' components on the
CCL. BIS reviewed and responded to comments received on the definition
of ``specially designed'' submitted in response to the June 19 proposed
rule. A final definition of ``specially designed'' was published in the
April 16 (initial implementation) rule. BIS is still evaluating where
it may be feasible to remove the term ``specially designed'' from non-
``600 series'' ECCNs on the CCL.
(1) Clarifications to Existing CCL Controls, Including the Use of the
Terms ``parts'' and ``components'' on the CCL
The majority of changes proposed in the November 29 rule and being
implemented in this final rule amend the CCL without changing the scope
of the controls. The bulk of the changes this final rule is making to
the CCL are non-substantive and will provide additional regulatory
guidance to people classifying items subject to the EAR. One proposed
change from the November 29 rule that is being implemented in this
final rule will clarify the scope of ECCNs by providing clearer
definitions of the terms ``part'' and ``component,'' which is discussed
below. However, this final rule does include changes that would affect
the scope of one ECCN. Specifically, this final rule removes ECCN 8A918
and adds certain marine boilers to ECCN 8A992, where they would be
controlled for AT and UN reasons.
BIS proposed in the November 29 proposed rule changes to align the
regulations with the definitions of ``part'' and ``component'' included
in a proposed rule published on July 15, 2011 (76 FR 41958) entitled
``Proposed Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR):
Control of Items the President Determines No Longer Warrant Control
Under the United States Munitions List (USML)'' (hereinafter ``the July
15 (framework) rule''), which were made final in the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule. The changes that are implemented in this final
rule include adding additional references to ``part'' (although scaled
back considerably compared to what was proposed in the November 29
proposed rule), and ``component'' in certain ECCNs to clarify that the
scope of those ECCNs also extends to ``parts'' and ``components'' even
if previously those ECCNs may have only referenced either ``part'' or
``component,'' but not both terms together. The proposed definitions of
``part'' and ``component'' were provided in the November 29 proposed
rule as a reference, along with a discussion of the context for the
need to make certain conforming changes. The November 29 proposed rule
indicated that the conforming changes would not be published in final
form until the revised definitions of ``part'' and ``component'' were
published in final form, which occurred, as noted above in this
paragraph, in the April 16 (initial implementation) rule that is
effective on October 15, 2013. Because of the relationship between this
final rule and the initial implementation rule, this final rule's
effective date is coordinated to become effective on the same day as
the initial implementation rule.
As was noted in the November 29 proposed rule, BIS is not
attempting to add additional references to ``parts'' and ``components''
in this final rule that would change the scope of what the
[[Page 61876]]
affected ECCNs control. In the past, BIS had not drawn clear
distinctions between what was a ``part'' or ``component'' because both
terms were undefined on the CCL. Having newly defined terms for
``part'' and ``component'' makes the CCL clearer and allows for more
nuanced controls to be developed, but making the necessary conforming
changes to the current CCL control text to conform to those new
definitions, while not changing the intended scope of those existing
ECCNs is also an important part to the Export Control Reform effort.
BIS encouraged the public to participate in this process by reviewing
the proposed changes in this area included in the November 29 rule.
In the November 29 rule, BIS indicated that if, however, the public
believes any of the proposed changes would change the present scope of
the affected ECCNs, then the public should submit comments that
identify such changes and explain how the changes would cause the ECCNs
to deviate from their present scope. One commenter did submit comments
that were highly critical of these changes and questioned BIS's
assumptions, in particular whether such conforming changes would not
change the scope of these ECCNs. BIS addresses this comment below in
detail, including discussing the additional review conducted by BIS and
the other agencies that reviewed this rule that led to a significant
reduction in the number of ECCNs where ``parts'' are being added in
this final rule. In addition, in the November 29 proposed rule, the
public was encouraged to review the entire CCL to identify and comment
on any other ECCN that uses the terms ``parts'' or ``components'' where
additional changes may be warranted to conform to the intended scope of
those ECCNs. Certain commenters conducted such analysis and made
suggestions for additional changes that are addressed or implemented in
this final rule. These public comments and additional reviews conducted
by BIS and the other agencies helped to improve this final rule.
The following describes the changes included in this final rule,
the comments received that pertained to changes proposed in the
November 29 rule, and any additional changes that are being implemented
in this final rule as a result of BIS's review of the comments and
additional analysis conducted of the CCL.
The clarifying changes being implemented in this final rule are as
follows:
(A) Revisions to ECCN Headings To Clarify Meaning
Revision to the headings of thirty-one ECCNs. In Supplement No. 1
to part 774--The Commerce Control List, this final rule revises, to
enhance clarity, the headings of the following thirty-one ECCNs: 0A018,
1A995, 1B018 1B115, 1C350, 1C355, 1C992, 2A291, 2A991, 2B005, 2B201,
2B109, 2B991, 2B992, 3B991, 3B992, 4A994, 5A991, 5A992, 5D992, 5E992,
6A997, 6A998, 6B995, 6D993, 7A103, 7A107, 8A992, 9A004, 9A106 and
9B991. This final rule also clarifies the relationship between the
headings and the ``items'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section of these thirty-one ECCNs. For example, in certain ECCNs, the
entries include an ``items'' paragraph, but the ECCN heading does not
direct people to review the ``items'' paragraph. This rule will add the
phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' to these ECCN headings. For
other ECCNs listed above, the heading includes the phrase ``(see List
of Items Controlled),'' but the placement of the phrase is not correct
in terms of what BIS intended to control in the ECCN. If the phrase
appears at the end of the heading, then that means the ``items''
paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section is the exclusive,
complete list of the items the ECCN controls. If, however, the phrase
appears in the middle of the heading, then that means only that portion
of the heading prior to the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)''
is specifically identified in the ``items'' paragraph in the List of
Items Controlled section, and that the remaining part of the heading
(i.e., the rest of the heading after the phrase ``(see List of Items
Controlled)'') is an exclusive, complete description.
The placement of the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' is
important for ``parts'' and ``components'' referred to in ECCN
headings. If ``parts'' and ``components'' references appear before the
phrase, the entry only controls ``parts'' and ``components''
specifically identified in the ``items'' paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section. If, however, the phrase is in the middle of the
heading and the reference to ``parts'' and ``components'' appears after
the phrase--such as ``and specially designed ``parts'' and
``components'' therefor''--that means the ECCN would control
``specially designed'' ``parts'' and ``components'' for any item
identified in the ``items'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section. This rule does not address the definition of ``specially
designed,'' which was published in the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule, but rather the relationship between these
headings and the ``items'' paragraph in each of these respective ECCNs.
Revisions to fourteen ECCNs. In addition, this rule adds the phrase
``as follows'' to the headings of the following fourteen ECCNs: 0A981,
2B201, 5D991, 5D992, 5E992, 6A992, 6A994, 6A995, 6A997, 6A998, 6B995,
6C994, 6D993 and 9B991, to ensure consistency with the structure of
other ECCNs on the CCL. The phrase ``as follows'' is used on some of
the multilateral export control regime control lists, which is why the
phrase appears on the CCL, including in some ECCNs that reflect
controls applied unilaterally by the United States based on domestic
foreign policy to conform to the structure of the regime-based ECCNs.
The multilateral export control regimes do not use the phrase ``(see
List of Items Controlled),'' but this phrase is used in many of the
multilateral-based ECCNs on the CCL. BIS seeks greater consistency in
how CCL headings are constructed, in particular how these two phrases
are used in the ECCN headings. Commenter No. 8 to the November 29
proposed rule recommended, where the two phrases appear together at the
end of the heading, that the use of ``as follows'' serves no purposes
and therefore should be removed. Although BIS agrees there is
redundancy in such cases, BIS desires to maintain consistency with the
Wassenaar Arrangement, which uses the term ``as follows'' while at the
same time using the CCL convention of directing the public to the
``items'' paragraph when needed. Thus, BIS is not accepting the
recommendation in this comment, but will continue to consider whether
additional changes should be made, including whether multilateral
regime change proposals or discussions in this area may be warranted.
ECCN 1C011. This final rule is removing the cross reference from
the heading of 1C011 to 1C111 because this text is no longer needed as
a result of the addition of Supplement No. 4 to Part 774--Commerce
Control List Order of Review in the initial implementation rule. Under
Step 5 of the new CCL Order of Review, if an item is not classified by
a ``600 series'' ECCN, then starting from the beginning of the product
group you should analyze each ECCN to determine whether any other ECCN
in that product group describes the item. This new CCL Order of Review
makes the relationship clear between these two ECCNs, so there is no
need to qualify the heading of 1C011 with the phrase ``other than those
specified in 1C111.'' Therefore, this final rule
[[Page 61877]]
removes those phrases from the heading of 1C011.
ECCN 1D993. This rule revises the heading of 1D993 to remove the
term ``equipment'' to be consistent with the definition of
``equipment'' added to the EAR in the April 16 (initial implementation)
rule. This ECCN currently refers to equipment or materials, but the
only ECCNs cross referenced in the heading are for controls on
materials, so the term equipment is not needed in 1D993. BIS did not
receive any comments on this change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCNs 0D001, 3D980, 3E980, 4D980 and 4E980. This rule revises the
headings of ECCNs 0D001, 3D980, 3E980, 4D980 and 4E980, by removing the
term ``items'' and adding the term ``commodities'' in its place. BIS
makes this change because in the context of these five ECCN headings,
the term ``commodities'' is more accurate and specific regarding the
scope of these entries. BIS did not receive any comments on this
change, so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final
rule.
ECCN 2B998. The heading of 2B998 uses the undefined term ``units.''
To add greater specificity regarding what the term ``unit'' is intended
to cover in this ECCN, this rule modifies the heading by removing the
term ``units'' and adding the term ``circuit boards.'' This change will
clarify that ``circuit boards'' are the items covered under the heading
of 2B998. BIS did not receive any comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCNs 3A980 and 3A981. This rule adds the term ``therefor''
immediately before the term ``n.e.s.'' to the headings of ECCNs 3A980
and 3A981. This rule makes this change to emphasize that these ECCNs
refer only to components of the subject voice print equipment and
polygraph equipment. BIS did not receive any comments on this change,
so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9A004. Commenter No. 7 suggested the term ``specifically
designed'' should be replaced with ``specially designed'' on the CCL
wherever it occurs. The November 29 proposed rule did not propose this
change to ECCN 9A004. Commenter No. 7 noted that ECCN 9A004 still uses
specifically designed ``parts'' and ``components'' as opposed to
``specially designed.'' For consistency this commenter suggested
``specially designed'' should be used all the time on the CCL. As part
of the Export Control Reform Initiative, BIS will review the use of
``specifically designed'' on the CCL as it corresponds to the USML
categories, and how those categories are revised during the USML-to-CCL
regulatory process.
(B) Clarification of the Use of the Terms ``parts'' and ``components''
on the CCL
The July 15 (framework) rule included proposed definitions for the
terms ``part'' and ``component.'' The April 16 (initial implementation)
rule included a final definition for the terms ``part'' and
``component.'' Specifically, the initial implementation rule, and the
July 15 (framework) proposed rule, defined ``parts'' as ``any single
unassembled element of a component, accessory, or attachment which is
not normally subject to disassembly without the destruction or the
impairment of design use. Examples include threaded fasteners (e.g.,
screws, bolts, nuts, nut plates, studs, inserts), other fasteners
(e.g., clips, rivets, pins), common hardware (e.g., washers, spacers,
insulators, grommets, bushings), springs and wire.''
The April 16 (initial implementation) rule, and the July 15
(framework) rule, defined ``components'' as an item that is useful only
when used in conjunction with an ``end item.'' Note that components are
also commonly referred to as assemblies. For purposes of this new
definition that was added to the EAR on April 16, 2013, in the initial
implementation final rule that becomes effective on October 15, 2013,
an assembly and a component are the same. Additionally, there are now
two types of ``components'': ``Major components'' and ``minor
components.'' A ``major component'' includes any assembled element
which forms a portion of an ``end item'' without which the end item is
inoperable. For example, for an automobile, components include the
engine, transmission, and battery. If you do not have all those items,
the automobile will not function, or function as effectively. A ``minor
component'' includes any assembled element of a ``major component.''
Note also that ``components'' consist of ``parts.'' ' References in the
CCL to ``components'' include both ``major components'' and ``minor
components.''
Another example for applying the definition of ``component'' in the
automobile context would be a fuel pump and the engine. Under this
additional example, the fuel pump is a minor component of an
automobile, as it is an assembled element of a ``major component,'' the
engine. While the car will not function without the fuel pump, it is
not a ``major component'' because it is integrated into a ``major
component,'' the engine.
The July 15 (framework) rule indicated BIS would review the use of
these two terms on the CCL and would likely make clarifications to CCL
entries to conform to the proposed definitions included in the July 15
(framework) rule under a separate rule. The November 29 proposed rule
addressed the use of the terms ``parts'' and ``components'' on the CCL
to ensure these terms were being used in a manner consistent with the
final definitions included in the April 16 (initial implementation)
rule. BIS received a variety of different comments on these proposed
changes that are addressed here.
The terms ``parts'' and ``components'' sometimes have been used
interchangeably in various ECCNs, which may have been the source of
some confusion. The final definitions included in the initial
implementation rule were developed to provide clear, distinct
definitions for both these terms and other terms such as ``end item,''
``system,'' ``accessories,'' and ``attachments,'' to align with the
definitions of these terms in the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR). See 22 CFR Sec. 121.8. Such distinctions are
significant for purposes of determining whether an ECCN applies to an
item.
If an ECCN does not include a control on ``parts'' or
``components,'' then that ECCN would not, by definition, apply to the
export of any particular ``parts'' or ``components.'' However, as
mentioned above, the terms ``parts'' and components'' have sometimes
been used interchangeably. Therefore, to ensure that once the
definition of ``part'' and ``component'' are added to the EAR the scope
of existing controls is not narrowed, the November 29 rule proposed
adding additional references to ``parts'' or ``components,'' in
particular for ECCNs that are based on the multilateral export control
regime control lists. The November 29 rule took a cautious approach,
possibly erring on the side of potential over control versus under
control when making these conforming changes for ``parts'' and
``components,'' in particular for the addition of ``parts'' to entries
that only identified components.
Under the current EAR, many of the ECCNs based on the multilateral
control lists reference ``components,'' but not ``parts.'' For these
entries where parts were not referenced, the U.S. Government had to
take into account in drafting the November 29 rule how the U.S.
Government has interpreted these ECCNs as well as how the other
multilateral regime members have
[[Page 61878]]
interpreted these ECCNs to determine whether the intent of the U.S.
Government and the other regime members was for these entries to
include ``parts.'' In certain contexts BIS has determined the intent of
the U.S. Government and the respective multilateral regimes is to also
control ``parts.'' However, in other contexts after further review, BIS
has determined the addition of ``parts'' is not needed, and therefore
this final rule does not add references to ``parts.'' The Departments
of State and Defense, along with other agencies that reviewed this
final rule, assisted BIS in making these determinations. These
determinations were focused on making sure that the conforming changes
for ``parts'' and ``components'' being implemented in this final rule
are consistent with past practice and would not result in a change in
existing controls.
As noted in the November 29 rule, over the mid- to long-term, BIS
will work with the other U.S. Government agencies involved in the
multilateral regimes, in particular the Department of State as the lead
representative to the multilateral export control regimes, to raise in
the respective multilateral export control regimes whether certain
ECCNs should be limited to ``components'' or ``parts'' or some other
subset of ``components,'' such as major components or minor components.
Based on the public comments received, there appears to be some
degree of disparate interpretation regarding whether some of these
ECCNs are intended to also include ``parts.'' For example, Commenter
No. 8 believes that in the vast majority of contexts, these ECCNs are
not intended to reach ``parts.'' However, Commenters No. 6 and 7
supported the conforming changes, including those involving the
addition of ``parts.'' Because BIS in the past had not defined or
clearly distinguished between these two terms, it is not surprising to
BIS that certain commenters would arrive at differing determinations
regarding whether current ECCNs that do not include ``parts'' are
intended to also include ``parts.''
Many unilateral ECCNs on the CCL refer to ``parts'' but not
``components.'' For unilateral ECCNs, BIS has more discretion in
whether these ECCNs should control ``parts'' and ``components.''
However, for consistency with the approach implemented for the
multilateral-based ECCNs in this final rule, and to ensure the scope of
the unilateral ECCNs is not changed, this final rule is adding
references to ``parts'' and ``components'' as needed in the unilateral
ECCNs to reflect how BIS has interpreted the scope of these ECCNs in
the past. These changes proposed in the November 29 rule were not
opposed by any of the public comments received.
Consistent with the April 16, 2013 final definitions of ``part''
and ``component'' included in the initial implementation rule, BIS is
implementing a number of changes to the CCL to incorporate the terms
``parts'' and ``components'' in specific ECCNs. However, as noted
above, BIS has significantly scaled back the number of ``parts''
additions included in the final rule. The primary purpose of these ECCN
changes is to conform to those definitions and to ensure that no
substantive changes are made to the current U.S. Government
interpretation of these ECCNs.
Public Comments Received for Clarifying the Use of the Terms ``parts''
and ``components'' on the CCL
The following discusses the comments received regarding the
clarification of the use of the terms ``parts'' and ``components'' on
the CCL.
Two commenters supported the ``parts'' and ``components'' changes.
Commenter No. 6 noted that the definition of ``part'' and ``component''
is a welcome clarification.'' Commenter No. 7 also indicated these
changes should resolve ambiguities about ECCN coverage and enable
companies to correctly classify items falling under each of these
designations. BIS agrees with these comments. Commenters No. 6 and 7
support BIS's rationale for these changes and provide additional
rationale highlighting the benefits and need to make these changes.
One commenter opposed the ``parts'' and ``components'' changes.
Commenter No. 8 opposed the ``parts'' and ``components'' changes
because central to the proposed ``parts'' and ``components'' changes
are the definitions of ``specially designed'' and ``component,''
respectively. This commenter noted that it is difficult to gauge the
impact of the proposed changes in this area set forth in this rule
without knowing the definitions of these terms. BIS acknowledges that
these other terms have been proposed in other proposed rules being
implemented under the ECR Initiative. BIS made this explicit in the
November 29 proposed rule by including references to the definitions of
``part'' and ``component'' included in the July 15 (framework) rule.
The public was informed in the November 29 proposed rule that those
proposed definitions should be used as they evaluate the clarifying
changes that were proposed in the November 29 proposed rule, and was
given ample opportunity to review and comment on those proposed
definitions. The April 16 (initial implementation) final rule that
includes the definitions for these terms was informed by such public
comments. The definitions of ``part'' and ``component'' included in the
initial implementation rule did not substantively change from what was
originally proposed in the July 15 (framework) rule.
Commenter No. 8 also stated as part of their rationale that the
proposed rule tries to accomplish far too much at one time. BIS
acknowledges that the proposed rule was large. However, the proposed
rule clearly identified the proposed changes and the rationale for the
various clarifying changes to ``parts'' and ``components.'' The public,
including all potentially affected industries, was given adequate
notice to review the proposed changes and submit comments. Certain
specific examples were provided by commenters, such as Commenter No. 6
that noted in certain places the importance of the use of ``and'' or
``or'' as it related to certain technology ECCNs. BIS made clarifying
changes to certain technology ECCNs as a result of these comments
regarding ``and'' or ``or.'' The specific technology ECCNs that were
revised to address the ``and'' or ``or'' issue are discussed elsewhere
in this rule under the specific ECCNs.
Over time if the public identifies additional entries where changes
should be made to ``parts'' and ``components,'' BIS may make additional
clarifications to such controls, including implementation of
multilateral export control regime changes, if approved by the relevant
regime.
Commenter No. 8 also opposed these changes, asserting that these
changes will cost exporters substantially more time to evaluate whether
the numerous additions of ``parts'' or ``components'' will change the
scope of an ECCN in a material way for their operations. This commenter
noted that a substantial amount of time will also be required for
exporters to evaluate the numerous inherent ambiguities the additions
create in given ECCNs. BIS does not agree that the addition of ``part''
or ``component'' references by this rule will require exporters to
spend substantially more time to determine the scope of the potentially
relevant ECCN. Interested members of the public had adequate notice to
review the proposed changes and submit comments as the November 29
proposed rule included a 60-day public comment review period. The
preamble to the rule also identified changes to ``parts'' and
``components''
[[Page 61879]]
and provided a considerable amount of detail regarding what was
changing and why. Based on the comments received, BIS and the other
agencies as mentioned above conducted a review of all the ``parts'' and
'' components'' changes, which resulted in a significant scaling back
of the ``parts'' changes. The proposed rule and the comments received
along with the subsequent U.S. Government review led to a better final
rule that more clearly achieves the stated objectives for the
conforming ``parts'' and ``components'' changes.
As noted earlier, exporters and any other affected party may also
submit additional suggestions for clarifications to the CCL at any
time, so if in the future someone wishes to submit suggestions for
further clarifying the use of ``parts'' and ``components,'' they may do
that at any time consistent with Sec. 756.1(a)(1) of the EAR.
Commenter No. 8 also requested that BIS publish several proposed
rules proposing ``parts'' and ``components'' to be evaluated for each
industry or related ECCNs. This commenter suggested that one option
would be to propose ``parts'' and ``components'' rules for fewer ECCNs
at a time, and possibly only pertaining to similar products or
industries, so that BIS can be more confident that exporters will have
identified and evaluated any unintended scope changes and ambiguities
that may arise. BIS does not believe that such an approach is warranted
based on the reasons noted above.
Commenter No. 8 also questioned BIS's premise that these changes
were limited to making clarifications to the CCL. This commenter argued
that references to ``parts'' and ``components'' will significantly
change the scope of many well established ECCNs. This commenter
disputed BIS's assertion that the addition of the term ``parts'' or
``components'' to numerous ECCNs, to ensure they include both terms,
will not change the CCL substantively. BIS stated in the November 29
proposed rule that one of the objectives was to not change the scope of
the ECCNs. As a result of this concern raised by Commenter No. 8, BIS
and the other agencies reevaluated the ``parts'' and ``components''
changes and were able to identify a large number of ECCNs where the
``parts'' additions were not needed, and thus are not being implemented
in this final rule. This change also addresses the clarity issues
raised by Commenter No. 8. This reevaluation confirmed that the
remaining ECCNs included in this rule where ``parts'' are being added
need ``parts'' to be added in order to maintain the intended scope of
control.
However, Commenter No. 8 also argued that ``parts'' and
``components'' cover very different things, so BIS cannot interpret
them interchangeably. The commenter noted that even if BIS sometimes
interprets the terms ``parts'' and ``components'' interchangeably, the
new proposed definitions of those terms describe very different items
and will, therefore, require that those terms cover different items. To
add one or the other of those terms to an ECCN in which it does not
currently appear will dramatically change the scope and coverage of the
ECCN. BIS agrees that the terms ``part'' and ``component'' under the
new definitions will be distinct. Prior to the addition of a definition
for ``part'' and ``component'' by the initial implementation rule, BIS
had not used the same level of specificity in interpreting the scope of
the undefined terms parts and components as used on the CCL. If the
entry used the term ``part,'' BIS typically also interpreted the entry
to extend to components. Similarly, when the entry used the term
``components,'' BIS in the context of certain entries interpreted those
entries to extend also to parts. More importantly, because the terms
part and component were not defined, this was not perceived as an
issue. However, now that the two terms are defined, and as indicated in
the comment cover different commodities, there is a need to specify in
the context of each ECCN what was intended.
Commenter No. 8 also argued that treating ``parts'' and
``components'' as interchangeable is counter to the ECR goal of
harmonizing terms and concepts across the USML and CCL. This commenter
noted that the USML maintains separate definitions of ``part'' and
``component.'' Because one of the goals of export control reform is to
harmonize terms and concepts across regulatory regimes, the notion that
``parts'' and ``components'' are ``interchangeable'' terms in the EAR
will potentially create confusion and drafting problems as items move
from the USML to CCL, or as well as when the planned consolidation of
the two control lists eventually occurs. BIS does not agree that
treating the undefined terms ``parts'' and ``components'' as
interchangeable is counter to the ECR goal of harmonizing terms and
concepts across the USML and CCL. BIS is making the changes as part of
the larger effort to begin the harmonization between the EAR and the
ITAR of key terms. If BIS did not make the changes, then ``parts'' that
are within the scope of the word ``components'' throughout the CCL
would become decontrolled once the EAR adopted in Part 772 the ITAR's
definition of ``part.'' Thus, this conforming change will bring the
non-``600 series'' into alignment with the structure of both the ITAR
and the ``600 series'' ECCNs. As noted above, Commenters No. 6 and 7
view the greater specificity as a benefit to exporters, so although
these ``parts'' and ``components'' changes are integral to the larger
USML-to-CCL process now under way under the ECR Initiative, these
changes will also make the overall CCL clearer.
Commenter No. 8 also noted that adding one term or another to an
ECCN's heading as a matter of course to ensure the heading includes
both terms will inevitably create new ambiguities in interpreting an
ECCN. BIS clearly described the intent of these changes in the proposed
rule and then requested the public to review each of these changes and
to identify any changes that either were not consistent with how they
interpret the scope of these ECCNs or created any perceived ambiguity.
BIS received comments on this issue that related to ECCNs 1C007, 2A292
and 6A992, 2B116, and 3A001 and analyzed them as follows:
ECCN 1C007. Commenter No. 7 suggested BIS replace ``components'' in
1C007 with the term ``ingredients,'' which the commenter thought makes
more sense in this materials category. BIS did not propose this change
in the November 29 rule, but understands the rationale for the
suggestion. However, BIS is addressing the commenter's suggestion by
not adding quotes around the term components in 1C007.e. BIS is not
adding quotes around the reference to ``components'' in 1C007.e,
because the controls are for ``carbon and nitrogen components,'' which
is interpreted as a single term for purposes of 1C007.e, in this final
rule. This is similar to the rationale provided below for why quotes
are not being used in ECCNs 3A001.b, 3A982 and 3D982 in this final
rule.
ECCNs 2A292 and 6A992. BIS received comments from Commenter No. 8
in response to the proposed changes to the ``unit'' paragraph in ECCNs
2A292 and 6A992. However, as noted elsewhere in this final rule, BIS is
not implementing the proposed changes to the ``unit'' paragraphs
because this final rule is removing the ``unit'' paragraph from all
ECCNs on the CCL as part of the effort to simplify the shipping
tolerance provisions under the EAR that are also being implemented in
this final rule. For these reasons, BIS is not implementing the changes
suggested in the comments to 2A292 and 6A992.
[[Page 61880]]
ECCN 2B116. Commenter No. 8 noted a specific ECCN example (2B116)
as a basis for their concern regarding the use of ``parts.'' This
commenter noted that the November 29 rule proposed to add ``parts'' to
2B116, which currently covers only ``components'' for relevant
vibration test systems. This commenter was concerned that none of items
listed in 2B116, however, would likely be considered a ``part'' under
the new definition. This commenter believed that if implemented,
exporters would then be left with uncertainty as to whether an item
that could be considered a ``part'' of a covered vibration system is
controlled. BIS does not believe any changes for clarity need to be
made for 2B116. The subsequent review conducted by the U.S. Government
of the ``parts'' changes determined in the context of 2B116 that
``parts'' is needed in order to maintain the intended scope of control.
Moreover, BIS believes with ``(see List of Items Controlled)''
appearing at the end of the entry, there should be no confusion as to
what is controlled because only the items listed are controlled. This
interpretation also aligns with the original Missile Technology Control
Regime (MTCR) text and interpretation regarding the scope of this
entry. Therefore, for the reasons noted above, BIS is implementing the
changes, as proposed; in this final rule.
ECCN 3A001. Commenter No. 8 also noted ECCN 3A001.c as an example
of their specific concerns about the use of ``parts.'' This commenter
thought this change would result in new compliance obligations for
companies that deal in less complex elements (``parts'') of a covered
wave device. The subsequent review conducted by the U.S. Government of
the ``parts'' changes determined in the context of 3A001 that ``parts''
is not needed in order to maintain the current scope of control.
Therefore, BIS is not implementing this change to 3A001 and to all
other ECCNs where the subsequent review determined ``parts'' was not
needed in order to maintain the current scope of control.
Commenter No. 8 also noted that the ``parts'' and ``components''
changes are not consistent with multilateral regime control lists. This
commenter asserted the proposed rule makes changes to many ECCNs that
are governed by multilateral export control regimes, including WA,
which BIS acknowledges is a correct statement. Commenter No. 8
indicated that adding ``parts'' to CCL headings represents a
significant change and marked expansion of scope of the current entries
and is not consistent with specific WA language. This commenter
believed the U.S. Government should submit this change to the Wassenaar
Arrangement. This commenter believes these proposed changes will
require consent of WA members before they can be made. The same is true
with other proposed changes to other CCL entries that are based on
other multilateral regimes, such as the Australia Group (AG). This
commenter encouraged BIS to consult with the other regime members
before these changes are made because failing to do so could lead to a
different scope of coverage in the U.S.
The United States is a member of the four major multilateral export
control regimes. In accordance with the terms of membership of these
regimes, the CCL is consistent with the control lists used by the
respective multilateral export control regimes, although there is
national discretion in how those lists are implemented in the various
member countries' controls. BIS's interpretation of the usage of the
term ``parts,'' which informed the proposed changes included in the
November 29 proposed rule, was that ``parts'' generally fall under
``components'' for the typical WA control text. BIS applies this same
interpretation to the other multilateral control lists, which also
informed the changes included in the November 29 proposed rule.
However, based on the concerns raised by Commenter No. 8, the U.S.
Government, including the Department of State, conducted an additional
review of the ``parts'' and ``components'' changes that were included
in the November 29 rule. This review, as noted above, resulted in a
significant reduction in the number of ECCNs where ``parts'' is added
in this final rule, in particular for many of the Wassenaar
Arrangement-based ECCNs. In the remaining ECCNs where ``parts'' is
being added, the U.S. Government has determined that the intent in the
context of these ECCNs, including the multilateral based ECCNs, is that
``parts'' is needed in order to maintain the current scope of control.
In the future, if one of the respective multilateral regimes
specifies under one of the multilateral-based entries that such entries
are intended to only reach ``components'' or some other formulation,
BIS will implement those changes to the respective entries on the CCL
consistent with the U.S. Government's multilateral regime commitments.
The November 29 rule proposed changes implemented in this final
rule revise one hundred and one ECCNs on the CCL where the term
``parts'' or ``components'' is used, as identified and described in the
paragraphs below in more detail.
``Parts'' is used, but ``specially designed'' ``components'' or
`components' as follows'' is intended or ``specially designed''
``parts'' and ``components'' is intended. In three ECCNs, the term
``parts'' is used, but the term ``specially designed'' ``components''
is intended. This final rule removes the term ``parts'' and replaces it
with the terms ``specially designed'' ``components'' in the following
three ECCNs: 0A979, 3A980, and 3A981. This rule removes the term
``part'' and replaces it with the terms ``specially designed''
``parts'' and ``components'' in the following four ECCNs: 0A982, 0A983,
0A985, and 0A986. In ECCNs 0A984 and 0A987, the term ``parts'' is used,
but the term ``components'' or `` ``components'' as follows'' is
intended. This rule removes the term ``parts'' and replaces it with the
term ``components'' or `` ``components'' as follows'' in these ECCNs.
BIS is implementing these changes, as proposed, in this final rule.
The hybrid term ``component parts'' is used, but ``parts'' and
``components'' is intended. In certain ECCNs, the hybrid undefined term
``component parts'' is used, but the intent is ``parts'' and
``components.'' This final rule changes ECCN 3A201 to bring its meaning
into alignment with this intent by changing ``component parts'' to
``parts'' and ``components.'' BIS is implementing these changes, as
proposed, in this final rule. This same issue appears in some of the
``xY018'' ECCNs on the CCL, but given that those ECCNs will be
addressed in the ongoing USML-to-CCL process as those items in the
``xY018'' ECCNs are moved to the ``600 series'' ECCNs, the November 29
proposed rule did not propose making changes to those ``xY018''
entries.
``Parts'' or ``components'' is used, but ``parts'' and
``components'' is intended. Because the terms ``parts'' and
``components'' are currently used interchangeably in the context of
several entries on the CCL, maintaining current controls while adopting
definitions for these words requires the use of both words in each of
the seventy-two ECCNs where one of those terms is currently used but
both terms are intended. This will ensure that existing ECCNs maintain
the same controls that existed when the terms were undefined, so that
``parts'' and ``components'' will encompass all subsidiary elements of
a complete system in the context of these ECCNs. The November 29 rule
proposed adding ``parts'' or ``components'' to one hundred and forty-
six ECCNs, but after further review conducted by the U.S.
[[Page 61881]]
Government, BIS determined only seventy-two ECCNs needed ``parts'' or
``components'' added in order to maintain the current scope of control.
The significant reduction in the number of these changes is from the
reduction in the number of ECCNs where ``parts'' is being added in this
final rule. BIS, in consultation with the other agencies and
multilateral export control regimes, intends to revise these entries in
the future to further refine the CCL controls, but BIS has determined
the changes being implemented in this final rule are the only ones
needed at this time and are consistent with the current multilateral
regime control lists.
This final rule will insert ``parts'' and add quotation marks in
the following sixty-four ECCNs (in the November 29 proposed rule
``parts'' was to be added in one hundred and twenty-seven ECCNs):
1A001, 1A002, 1A102, 1A995, 1B003, 1B101, 1B102, 1B115, 1B117, 1B118,
1B119, 1C117, 2A991, 2B109, 2B116, 2B229, 2B351, 2B352, 2B992, 2B998,
2D351, 3A101, 3A201, 3A292, 3A999, 3B991, 3B992, 3D991, 3E982, 3E991,
4A101, 4A994, 5A991, 6A107, 6A203, 6A991, 6B995, 6E001, 6E002, 6E993,
7A101, 7A102, 7A103, 7A104, 7A105, 7A107, 7D101, 7E101, 8A002, 8A992,
9A004, 9A010, 9A011, 9A106, 9A108, 9A109, 9A111, 9A120, 9B001, 9B002,
9B009, 9B115, 9B116 and 9E003. BIS is implementing these changes as
proposed, except for the following sixty-three ECCNs: 1A004, 1A005,
1A006, 1A008, 1B001,1C007, 1C230, 2A001 (although BIS is adding a new
Note to 2A001.a to clarify this paragraph includes a control on roller
bearing and roller elements ``specially designed'' for the items
specified therein), 2B001, (not implemented for heading), 2B003, 2B004,
2B005, 3A001, 3A003, 3A233, 3A982, 3A991, 3B001, 3B002, 3D982, 3E001,
3E003, 4A001, 4A003, 4A004, 5A001, 5B001, 5E001, 5A002, 5A992, 6A001,
6A002, 6A003, 6A004, 6A005, 6A006, 6A008, 6A102, 6A205, 6A992, 6A995,
6A996, 6A998, 6B008, 6D001, 7A001, 7A002, 7A003, 7A004, 7A005, 7A008,
7D001, 7E001, 7E002, 9A002, 9A003, 9A005, 9A006, 9A008, 9A012, 9B003,
9B010, and 9D004 (not implemented for 9D004.e) that will not be changed
based on the subsequent U.S. Government review of the ``parts'' and
``components'' changes, in this final rule.
ECCN 3A001. After further review of the proposed changes, including
a review of input received from BIS's TACs, BIS decided to not add
quotes around the first reference to ``components'' in the phrase
``electronic components'' in the heading of ECCN 3A001 to avoid
creating confusion over the meaning of the phrase. ``Electronic
components;'' although undefined; is interpreted as a single term for
purposes of 3A001. For similar reasons, BIS is not adding quotes around
the reference to ``components'' in 3A001.b because the controls are for
microwave or millimeter wave components, which is interpreted as a
single term for purposes of 3A001.b, as well as the references to the
phrase microwave or millimeter wave components in the headings of ECCNs
3A982 and 3D982 in this final rule.
This final rule inserts ``components'' and adds quotation marks in
the following eight ECCNs: 2A994, 2B201, 5A980, 6A203, 6B995, 8A992,
9A106, and 9A991. In this final rule, BIS is implementing these changes
as proposed, except 2A292, 2B001 (in the heading), and 9A012 will not
be changed based on the subsequent U.S. Government review of the
``parts'' and ``components'' changes included in the November 29 rule.
This final rule will add quotation marks to the existing term
``components'' in the following fifty-two ECCNs: 1A004, 1A005, 1A006,
1A008, 1B001, 1C007, 2A001, 2B003, 2B004, 3A003, 3B001, 3B002, 3E001,
4A001, 4A003, 4A004, introductory text of Note 1, the N.B.2 and Note 2
that immediately follows the Category 5 Part 1--Telecommunications,
5A001, 5A002, 5A992, 5B001, 5E001, 6A001, 6A002, 6A003, 6A004, 6A005,
6A006, 6A008, 6A992, 6A995, 6A996, 6A998, 6B008, 6D001, 7A001, 7A002,
7A003, 7A004, 7A005, 7A008, 7E001, 7E002, 9A002, 9A003, 9A005, 9A006,
9A008, 9B003, 9B010, 9A012, 9D003 and 9E003.
This final rule will reposition the term ``parts'' before
``components'' and will add quotation marks to the existing terms
``parts'' and ``components'' in the following ten ECCNs: 1C002, 2A983,
2A984, 3A001, 4A994, 7A994, 9A106, 9A991, 9B990, and 9E003. BIS is
implementing these changes, as proposed, in this final rule, except
1A004, 3A001, and 6A992 will not be changed based on the subsequent
U.S. Government review of the ``parts'' and ``components'' changes
included in the November 29 rule.
ECCN 1C350 and 1C355. After further review of the proposed changes
to ECCNs 1C350 and 1C355, including reviewing input received from BIS's
TACs, BIS decided to not add the term ``parts'' to ECCNs 1C350 and
1C355. BIS decided it would be better to replace the term
``components'' in these two ECCNs with the alternative term
``ingredients.'' This change will more clearly reflect the intent of
these two ECCNs and avoid potential confusion with the new definition
of ``component.''
ECCN 9E003. Commenter No. 6 noted that although they supported the
addition of the conforming changes for ``parts'' and ``components,''
for certain technology entries using ``and'' instead of ``or'' between
``parts'' and ``components'' may inadvertently allow the release of
certain technology. This commenter noted that the proposed rules used
the phrases ``parts'' or ``components'' and ``parts'' and
``components'' interchangeably. The commenter further asserted that
there are cases where this may cause some readers to read the control
as being narrower than intended, specifically in ECCNs 9E003.a.7,
9E003.a.8, and 9E003.c. In the case of the proposed wording for
9E003.a.7, Commenter No. 6 asserted this could be interpreted to mean
that the ``technology'' is ``required'' only if it applies to both
``parts'' and ``components'', which is narrower than the ``technology''
for either item. This commenter recommended using ``or'' in these three
items paragraphs of 9E003. However, as a result of this comment, BIS
also evaluated the other entries where conforming changes for ``parts''
and ``components'' were being made and determined that ``and'' should
also be replaced with ``or'' in the following two ECCNs: 2B201 note to
.a, and 9B009 heading.
(C) Clarification of the Use of the Term ``assemblies'' on the CCL as
Components
In the ``component'' definition added to the EAR in the April 16
(initial implementation) rule, it states that ``components are also
commonly referred to as assemblies. For purposes of this definition, an
assembly and a component are the same.'' BIS has reviewed the CCL to
ensure the term ``assemblies'' is not being used redundantly on the
CCL. This review identified five ECCNs (5A991, 9A002, 9A003, 9B002, and
9D004) where the terms ``assemblies'' and ``components'' are being used
in the same ECCN, but where the term ``assemblies'' should be removed
to avoid the incorrect interpretation that assemblies are different
from components. This final rule adds the term ``electronic'' before
the term ``assemblies'' in 5A991 under ``items'' paragraphs (c.1) and
(g) to distinguish the particular type of assembly that is intended to
be controlled under this entry. As was noted in the November 29
proposed rule, with regard to ECCNs 9A002, 9A003, 9B002, and 9D004, the
U.S. Government intends to develop a proposal to submit to the
Wassenaar Arrangement that would propose the
[[Page 61882]]
removal of the term ``assemblies'' from these ECCNs or, in the
alternative, propose the addition of more descriptive terms, such as
``electronic'' to clarify the scope of those other multilateral-based
ECCNs.
This final rule removes reference to the term ``assemblies'' in
ECCN 6A998 and adds the term ``components'' in its place. As described
above, this rule also adds the term ``parts'' to 6A998. BIS is
implementing these changes as proposed, with the one exception, in this
final rule.
(D) Revisions to the Following ECCNs, Including Changes Made as a
Result of Comments
ECCN 1A005. Commenter No. 7 noted that ``specially designed'' does
not consistently appear in quotation marks, as exemplified by 1A005.
This commenter believes that to conform to the new definition of
``specially designed'' added in the initial implementation rule, the
term should be in quotes in 1A005 and wherever else the term
``specially designed'' is used on the CCL. BIS agrees and is adding
quotes wherever the term ``specially designed'' is used on the CCL in
this final rule.
ECCN 1B001. Commenter No. 7 requested that BIS clarify in this
final rule whether the July 15 (framework) rule proposed definition of
``accessories'' applies to 1B001 and to other places it is used on the
CCL. This commenter also requested that BIS add quotation marks around
``accessories'' in 1B001 and wherever else on the CCL the term
``accessories'' is used. The definition for ``accessories'' was added
to the EAR in the initial implementation rule, and will apply to 1B001
and wherever the term ``accessories'' is used on the CCL. Therefore,
BIS in this final rule accepts these comments and is adding quotation
marks to wherever the term ``accessories'' is used in this rule. Note
that ``accessories'' and ``attachments'' are defined as separate terms
in part 772, but the definition is the same for ``accessories'' and
``attachments'' and each definition cross references the other. For the
same reason that BIS is adding quotation marks around ``accessories,''
BIS is also adding quotation marks around ``attachments'' in this final
rule.
ECCN 1C996. This final rule will amend 1C996 by revising the
heading to add the phrase ``not controlled by 1C006,'' to clarify the
scope of 1C996 as it relates to 1C006. BIS did not receive any comments
on this change, so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in
this final rule.
ECCN 2A994. As an additional clarification to existing controls,
Commenter No. 4 suggested adding an ECCN-specific definition of
``portable electric generator'' to 2A994. This commenter was aware of
past advisory opinion guidance provided by BIS that had interpreted the
term ``portable electric generator'' for purposes of 2A994. BIS is
aware of this past advisory opinion and agrees it would be beneficial
to add an ECCN-specific definition based on that previously provided
guidance. This new ECCN-specific definition added by this final rule
makes it clear that the generators that are in 2A994 are portable--
5,000 lbs or less on wheels or transportable in a 2\1/2\ ton truck
without a special set up requirement.
ECCN 2B350. This final rule amends 2B350 by revising the ``Related
Definitions'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to
indicate for purposes of this entry that the term `chemical warfare
agents' includes those agents ``subject to the ITAR'' (see 22 CFR parts
120 through 130). In addition, this rule adds a note at the end of the
``items'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to provide
a reminder and cross reference to the Note for exporters, reexporters
and transferors, stating the following: ``See Categories V and XIV of
the United States Munitions List for all chemicals that are `` `subject
to the ITAR' (see 22 CFR parts 120 through 130).''
Commenter No. 8 requested BIS to specify whether the definition for
the ``chemical warfare agents'' proposed for 2B350 also applies to
1A004 and 2B351. The 2B350 definition is an ECCN-specific definition,
so it does not apply to 1A004 or 2B351. If the definition were intended
to also apply to other ECCNs, then adding a definition of ``chemical
warfare agents'' to 772 would be the appropriate change to make, but as
noted that was not intended in the November 29 proposed rule.
Commenter No. 8 also indicated the ``chemical warfare agents''
definition scope proposed for ECCN 2B350 is not correct in terms of its
reference to USML categories referenced. Specifically, Commenter No. 8
was concerned that proposing that the ITAR-controlled chemicals are
only found in USML Categories V and XIV is not correct because such
chemicals could conceptually fall within USML Category XXI and possibly
others. In drafting the November 29 proposed rule, BIS consulted with
the Department of State on the appropriate USML categories to reference
in the 2B350 definition. In reviewing this comment and preparing this
final rule, BIS also consulted with the Department of State. BIS
acknowledges USML Category XXI, which is a temporary holding category
on the USML, could be applicable, but USML Category XXI could also be
applicable for any other USML-related cross reference provided on the
CCL. For this reason, BIS does not add references to USML category XXI.
Based on the interagency review of this comment and the draft final
rule, no additional USML categories need to be added to the `chemical
warfare agents' definition in ECCN 2B350. For the reasons noted above
in responding to the commenter, BIS is implementing this change, as
proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 2B996. This final rule amends 2B996 by revising the heading to
clarify that dimensional inspection or measuring systems or equipment
not controlled by 2B006 or 2B206 are controlled under this ECCN.
Certain dimensional inspection or measuring systems or equipment
controlled under 2B206 would also be controlled under 2B996. To clarify
the relationship between 2B996 and 2B206, this rule adds 2B206 to the
exclusion in 2B996. BIS did not receive any comments on this change, so
this change is implemented, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 2B999. Commenter No. 1 requested BIS clarify the scope of
2B999.g for fittings. The commenter asked BIS to clarify whether or not
304 and 316 stainless steel pipe fittings, which do not fall under
2A292.a, are classified under 2B999.g. This commenter noted that
currently, manufacturers have differing interpretations. Some classify
fittings under 2B999 and others EAR99. Confusion comes from some
thinking 2B999.g includes fittings because ``fittings are simply
shorter pieces of pipe.'' However, others may classify fittings as
EAR99 because they are not specified in 2B999.g. Lastly, this commenter
noted that whether the fittings are EAR99 or 2B999.g the same license
requirements apply. BIS addressed this commenter's suggestion for
removing 2B999 elsewhere in this rule and addressed the request for
clarification here regarding the scope of 2B999.g. BIS confirms here
that fittings are considered part of ``piping'' for purposes of 2B999.
BIS also adds a new note to 2B999.g to clarify the scope of this item.
ECCN 6A002. This final rule revises the STA (License Exception
``Strategic Trade Authorization'') paragraph in the License Exceptions
section, which as proposed in the November 29 rule and as implemented
in the final rule, is now
[[Page 61883]]
in its own section called Special Conditions for License Exception STA.
This final rule removes the phrase, ``to any of the eight destinations
listed in Sec. 740.20(c)(2) of the EAR'' from the end of the current
STA paragraph and adds it to the introductory text of the STA
paragraph. BIS makes this change to clarify the 6A002 ``items''
paragraphs that are not eligible for License Exception STA to any of
the eight destinations listed in Sec. 740.20(c)(2). BIS did not
receive any comments on this change, so BIS is implementing this
change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 6E001 and 6E002. This final rule removes the term
``equipment'' and replaces it with the term ``items'' in the ``NP'' and
``RS'' controls paragraphs in the License Requirements section of 6E001
and 6E002. This clarification is made as a conforming change to the new
``equipment'' definition added in the April 16 (initial implementation)
rule. The clarification is made because the ``NP'' and RS'' items
include paragraph references to other ECCNs that control items other
than equipment and therefore the broader term ``items'' is intended in
these two controls paragraphs in 6E001 and 6E002.
ECCN 8A918. This final rule removes the marine boilers from 8A918
and moves these items to two new ``items'' paragraphs in the List of
Items Controlled section of 8A992. This rule adds a new ``items''
paragraph (l) to 8A992 for marine boilers designed to have any of the
characteristics in the new 8A992.l.1 or .l.2. This rule adds ``items''
paragraph (m) to 8A992 for ``components,'' ``parts,'' ``accessories,''
and ``attachments'' for marine boilers that would be described in
8A992.l. This rule's movement of these commodities from 8A918 to
8A992.l and .m will remove the Regional Stability (RS) Column 2 control
on these commodities. The Anti-Terrorism (AT) and United Nations (UN)
controls will be retained for the commodities moved to 8A992.l and .m.
BIS proposed this change in the November 29 rule because these marine
boilers do not warrant an RS control or a separate ECCN entry and can
therefore be added under ECCN 8A992 to be controlled with other types
of marine commodities warranting an AT control. BIS did not receive any
comments on this change, so BIS is implementing this change, as
proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9A980. This final rule revises 9A980 by removing the term
``parts'' from the heading of the ECCN and adding a new heading note to
clarify the scope of the ECCN. The Crime Control (CC) parts that would
have been classified under this entry if exported alone are already
accounted for on the CCL and controlled for CC reasons. The new heading
note clarifies that in order for a vehicle to be classified as a
nonmilitary mobile crime scene laboratory under ECCN 9A980, the vehicle
must contain one or more analytical or laboratory items controlled for
Crime Control (CC) reasons on the CCL, such as items controlled under
ECCN 3A980 or 3A981. This new heading note does not change the scope of
the ECCN, but clarifies the scope of this ECCN and the relationship to
other CC ECCNs. BIS did not receive any comments on this change, so BIS
is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9A991. In reviewing the conforming changes for ``parts'' and
``components,'' Commenter No. 6 raised concerns regarding whether the
proposed changes to 9A991.d should be implemented due to a concern that
the proposed wording may inadvertently classify some aircraft ``parts''
and ``components'' as EAR99 while an aircraft is in development.
Commenter No. 6 asserted that under the proposed wording, the ``parts''
and ``components'' to be controlled are only those for ``aircraft''
that meet requirements of 9A991.a or .b. ECCN 9A991.a controls specific
military aircraft, and ECCN 9A991.b controls ``civil aircraft.'' Prior
to receiving a civil airworthiness certificate, developmental aircraft
do not meet the definition of ``civil aircraft'' in Sec. 772.1 of the
EAR. The commenter stated that it would follow that ``parts'' and
``components'' ``specially designed'' for pre-certification non-
military aircraft or in countries where such certificates are not
granted are not described in 9A991.d, and barring any other control,
would be classified EAR99. Once the aircraft is certified, these parts
would move to 9A991.d. Commenter No. 6 indicated they believed this is
not the intent of the control. BIS agrees that this is not the intent
of the control. BIS reviewed this issue and determined it was better to
revise 9A991.b by replacing the term ``civil aircraft'' with the term
``aircraft n.e.s.'' This revision to 9A991.b would describe more
precisely the scope of the ECCN and would be consistent with how BIS
now interprets the ECCN. Aircraft subject to the ITAR will remain ITAR
controlled. Aircraft subject to the EAR and controlled by ECCN 9A610.a
will continue to be controlled by that ECCN. Aircraft described in ECCN
9A991.a will continue to be controlled by that subparagraph. ECCN
9A911.b will continue to control all other aircraft at all stages of
their development or production, and regardless of whether they have a
certification from an aviation authority. This final rule also makes a
conforming change to the change in 9A991.b by revising the regional
stability (RS) 1 control in ECCNs 7D001, 7E001, 7E002, and 7E101. These
ECCNs are amended by removing the term ``civil aircraft'' and replacing
it with the more accurate phrase 9A991.b aircraft. This change is not
substantive and is limited to conforming to the clarification made to
9A991.b and to add greater specificity in these three RS controls. For
additional clarity, this final rule also adds the conjunction ``and''
to the RS control between the terms ``inertial navigation system'' or
``inertial equipment'' in 7D001, 7E001, 7E002 and 7E101, along with
other clarifying text to the RS control in 7E101 to clarify the scope
of this RS control by adding the terms ``required'' and ``specially
designed.''
xY999 ECCNs. Commenter No. 1 suggested BIS remove all xY999 ECCNs
where items controlled are only AT-controlled. BIS evaluated this
change in drafting the November 29 proposed rule and considered
implementing the removal of certain xY999 entries in this final rule.
However, in evaluating these possible removals with the other agencies
involved in the review process of the November 29 rule, it was
determined that additional analysis is needed before moving forward
with these removals. This determination also took into account the
minimal impact that such removals would have, given that the only xY999
ECCNs under consideration for removal are those where the license
requirements would be redundant with EAR99 items. BIS is still
evaluating whether it may be possible to remove some or all of the
``xY999'' ECCNs on the CCL that may have redundant license requirements
with EAR99 items.
(E) Addition of ``Related Controls'' To Aid in Classification
Most ECCNs on the CCL contain a ``related controls'' paragraph in
the List of Items Controlled section that provides cross references to
related ECCNs to assist the public in classifying items that are
subject to the EAR. In some ECCNs, the ``related controls'' paragraph
also includes cross-references to the export controls other U.S.
Government agencies administer.
The November 29 rule proposed adding a number of additional
``related controls'' paragraphs or revising existing ``related
controls'' paragraphs to assist the public in classifying items. This
final rule implements those changes, along with certain additional
``related
[[Page 61884]]
controls'' changes in response to BIS's review of the public comments.
In the November 29 proposed rule, BIS advised that in responding to the
proposed rule, the public may also provide suggestions for additional
``related controls'' that would assist the public in classifying items.
This final rule is revising the ``related controls'' paragraphs in the
following twelve ECCNs: 1A985, 1B117, 1B118, 1B119, 1B225, 1C117,
1C233, 2B105, 2B116, 3A230, 7A103 and 9B009 that were proposed in the
November 29 rule. In addition, as a result of the review of public
comments, this final rule is also revising the ``related controls''
paragraphs in the following three ECCNs: 2A226, 2A292 and 2B350 as
follows:
ECCN 2A226. Commenter No. 9 suggested adding ECCN 2B999 to the
``related controls'' paragraph of 2A226. This commenter noted that
2A226 references other valve ECCNs (2A292 and 2B350), but has no
reference to 2B999. BIS agrees that adding 2B999 would be helpful, so
this final rule is implementing this change.
ECCN 2A292. Commenter No. 9 suggested adding ECCNs 2B350 and 2B999
to the ``related controls'' paragraph of 2A292. This commenter noted
2A292 references to one other valve ECCN (2A226), but has no reference
to 2B350 or 2B999. BIS agrees that adding 2B350 and 2B999 would be
helpful, so this final rule is implementing this change.
ECCN 2B350. Commenter No. 9 suggested adding ECCNs to the ``related
controls'' paragraph of ECCN 2B350 instead of using N/A. The commenter
was concerned that the use of ``N/A'' may lead you to mistakenly
conclude that there are no applicable technology ECCNs or any other
potential valve ECCNs. BIS agrees that adding ECCNs 2A226, 2A292,
2A293, 2B231 and 2B999 to the ``related controls'' paragraph of 2B350
would be helpful, so this final rule is implementing this change.
ECCN 2B999. Commenter No. 9 suggested adding ECCNs 2A226 and 2A292
to the ``related controls'' of 2B999. This commenter noted that 2B999
refers to a number of other ECCNs, including 2B350, but it does not
refer to the other valve ECCNs (2A226 and 2A292). BIS does not accept
this change because it is clear within the context of this ECCN 2B999
that the only valves that are controlled are those referenced in the
long list of ``items.'' BIS is also still evaluating whether it may be
possible to remove 2B999, along with similar ``xY999'' ECCNs on the CCL
that have redundant license requirements with EAR99 items. Additional
analysis is needed, however, before any such ``xY999'' ECCNs can be
removed from the CCL, as noted above.
Commenter No. 9 also suggested BIS conduct a review of all the
``related controls'' on the CCL to identify additional changes to make
and address inconsistencies. This commenter recommended BIS review the
``related controls'' section of each ECCN in Groups A, B or C to
identify all related ECCNs. The ``related controls'' then should be
updated accordingly to include similar ECCNs of Groups A, B or C as
well as the applicable software and technology ECCNs of Groups D and E.
BIS agrees that regular review of the ``related controls'' paragraphs
should be conducted. BIS has already conducted a review of all the
``related controls'' paragraphs on the CCL, and these are the changes
that were proposed in the November 29 rule. In evaluating the comments
received in response to the November 29 proposed rule, BIS also
identified additional ``related controls'' changes that are being
implemented in this final rule, as described above for ECCNs 2A226,
2A292, and 2B350. BIS will continue conducting regular reviews of the
``related controls'' paragraphs and make updates as necessary on the
CCL. Note, however, that although the ``related controls'' paragraphs
are a useful tool for classifying related items under the CCL, the
``related controls'' paragraphs are not exhaustive or determinative of
an item's control status. They are not part of the control text for a
specific ECCN. Related controls are a method of identifying other ECCN
entries that may be applicable to a particular item, including
highlighting in certain cases when a related item may be subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of another agency of the U.S. Government.
However, to determine whether an item is classified under another entry
on the CCL or another control list, such as the Nuclear Trigger List or
the United States Munitions List (USML), a person classifying an item
should review the other ECCN or other control lists as applicable to
determine the jurisdictional and classification status of a particular
item.
Supplement No. 4 to part 774--Commerce Control List Order of
Review--was added to the EAR in the initial implementation rule, and
identifies the proper order of review for reviewing the CCL.
ECCNs 7A005 and 7A994. This final rule also revises the ``related
controls'' paragraphs in ECCNs 7A005 and 7A994 and includes the
substance of the amended related control paragraph as a new ``license
requirement note'' in 7A994. This change will clarify the relationship
between 7A005 and 7A994 and provide guidance on the appropriate
classification for GPS equipment. The added text in 7A005 and 7A994
will alert persons classifying GPS items that ``typically commercially
available GPS do not employ encryption or adaptive antenna and are
classified as 7A994.'' BIS did not receive any comments on this change,
so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
(F) Addition of the Term ``subject to the ITAR'' to the EAR.
This final rule adds the term ``subject to the ITAR'' to Sec.
772.1 (Definitions of terms as used in the EAR). This defined term is
added to parallel the use of the term ``subject to the EAR'' that is
commonly used in the EAR, along with simplifying many of the references
to the export jurisdiction of the Department of State that are included
in the EAR. The vast majority of these references to the export control
jurisdiction of the Department of State are on the CCL. This final rule
will therefore add the following definition of ``subject to the ITAR''
in Sec. 772.1:
A term used in the EAR to describe those commodities, software,
technology (e.g., technical data) and defense services over which the
U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC)
exercises regulatory jurisdiction under the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR) (see 22 CFR 120-130).
This final rule makes conforming changes to the rest of the EAR,
including several ECCNs and Sec. Sec. 734.4 (De minimis U.S. content),
734.6 (Assistance available from BIS for determining licensing and
other requirements), and 740.6 (Technology and software under
restriction (TSR)), by adding ``subject to the ITAR'' where the export
control jurisdiction of the Department of State is referenced. In
addition to making the conforming change in Sec. 734.6, this rule
revises the references to the ITAR to clarify that, in order to
determine whether an item is ``subject to the ITAR,'' you should review
the ITAR's United States Munitions List (see 22 CFR Sec. Sec. 120.6
and 121.1). If the item is within the scope of a USML category, then
the item is a defense article subject to the ITAR. If it is not, then
it is not subject to the ITAR. The revised text also clarifies that you
may also submit a request to the Department of State, Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls, for a formal jurisdictional determination
regarding
[[Page 61885]]
the commodity, software, technology, or activity at issue (see 22 CFR
Sec. 120.4). BIS did not receive any comments on this change, so BIS
is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
(H) Addition of Paragraph To Clarify the Jurisdiction of Items Subject
to the EAR When Sold, Leased or Loaned by the Department of Defense to
a Foreign Country or International Organization Under the Foreign
Military Sales (FMS) Program
This final rule adds a new paragraph (b)(1)(vi) to Sec. 734.3,
which identifies items subject to the EAR. This new paragraph was not
proposed in the November 29 rule, but the change is being made in this
final rule as a clarification to the addition of Sec. 734.3(e) in the
initial implementation final rule published on April 16, 2013. While
not effective until October 15, 2013, Sec. 734.3(e) specifies that
items subject to the EAR may be exported, reexported, or transferred in
country under licenses, agreements, or other approvals from the
Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls pursuant to
Sec. Sec. 120.5(b) and 126.6(c) of the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR 120.5(b) and 126.6(c)) or under actions made
by the Department of State's Office of Regional Security and Arms
Transfers.
New paragraph (b)(1)(vi) clarifies that items that would otherwise
be subject to the EAR and that are sold, leased or loaned by the
Department of Defense to a foreign country or international
organization under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Program of the Arms
Export Control Act, pursuant to a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA)
authorizing such transfers, are not ``subject to the EAR'' but rather,
are subject to the authority of the Arms Export Control Act. New
paragraph (b)(1)(vi) clarifies that the terms and conditions of the LOA
would govern the export, reexport, or other transfer of the items.
Lastly, because the heading for new paragraph (b)(1)(vi) refers to the
Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of State, BIS is adding a
cross reference from new paragraph (b)(1)(vi) to paragraph (b)(1)(i),
along with a cross reference from (b)(1)(i) to (b)(1)(vi).
(I) Corrections and Minor Clarifications to Existing CCL Text and
Proposed Text Included in the November 29 Proposed Rule
The November 29 rule also included minor corrections and
clarifications to the CCL, such as to correct certain misspellings and
typographical errors and make other minor updates to the CCL. BIS did
not receive any comments on these changes, so BIS is implementing these
changes, as proposed, in this final rule for the following two ECCNs:
6C992 and 9B002.
In the public comments received in response to the November 29
rule, the public identified some additional corrections or minor
clarifications that should be made to existing CCL text or to some of
the proposed text included in the November 29 rule. BIS has accepted
some of these suggested changes, so BIS is implementing these changes
in this final rule for the following ECCNs: 1C002 (to correct a
formatting error in 1C002.c.1.a where ``10\9\'' was incorrectly
proposed as ``109''); 2B352 (to correct a formatting error in 2B352.d.2
where ``(0.2 m\2\)'' was incorrectly proposed as ``(0.2 m2)''); 9E003
(to insert an omitted ``Related Controls) paragraph number (2)''); and
1A002 (to remove an extra ``and'' that was not needed and modify the
punctuation).
Commenter No. 8 suggested that the heading of 1A002 should also end
in the word ``therefor.'' BIS does not accept this change because the
current entry is consistent with the Wassenaar Arrangement WA dual-use
list entry 1.A.2. In addition, the term is not needed in the context of
this entry.
ECCN 5A991 (and similar changes to 5A001, 6A008 and 7A005). This
rule changes the spelling of the word ``antennae'' in the ``items''
paragraph (f) of 5A991. This term should be spelled as ``antennas'' to
reflect common American English usage in this ECCN. BIS also accepted
Commenter No. 8's suggestion that a review should be conducted of the
entire CCL to identify any additional places where this same issue
occurs and standardize this usage. BIS identified five other references
on the CCL where this correction needs to be made: ECCN 5A001.d and the
Note to 5A001.d; ECCN 6A008 in the decontrol note for (PAR), 6A008.e;
and ECCN 7A005 in the Note to 7A005.b. This final rule is implementing
these additional five corrections to address this incorrect word usage
on the CCL.
This final rule does not implement the related change to the
``unit'' paragraph of 5A001 because the ``unit'' paragraph will no
longer be used in ECCNs under the simplified structure being
implemented in this rule for calculating shipping tolerances under the
EAR. As described below, this final rule removes all ``unit''
paragraphs from the CCL, so the proposed change to the ``unit''
paragraph of 5A001 is no longer required, along with any proposed
changes to the ``unit'' paragraph that was included in the November 29
rule.
(2) Changes To Conform the CCL to the Multilateral Export Control
Regime Control Lists and Previous Amendments to the EAR
This final rule is also making the following changes to conform the
CCL to the multilateral export control regime control lists and to
conform the CCL to the intent of past amendments to the EAR. These are
cases where a previous amendment to the EAR was intended to effect a
change, but the change was not implemented as intended, or where a
conforming change should have been made to the CCL, but was
inadvertently not made. In general, the public did not raise specific
concerns regarding the changes described under this heading (2). The
comments that were received highlighted additional specific examples
that also warranted attention in the final rule: Commenter No. 8, as
was discussed above under heading (1)(B)(Clarifying the use of the
terms ``parts'' and ``components'' on the CCL), raised a concern that
the proposed changes were not consistent with the multilateral export
control regimes and that a regime change proposal would need to be
approved before BIS implemented such changes to multilateral-based
ECCNs, such as those controlled by the Wassenaar Arrangement. BIS does
not agree with this comment for the reasons discussed above under
heading (1)(B). BIS considered discussing these two comments here, but
because the ``parts'' and ``components'' changes were described above
under heading (1)(B), BIS decided to also include these two comments
under the earlier discussion to group them with the other comments and
BIS responses on the ``parts'' and ``components'' changes being
implemented in this final rule.
(A) Conforming Changes for Limitations on Use of TSR for Wassenaar Very
Sensitive List Items
In implementing its commitment to exercise vigilance in the
licensing of items listed on the Wassenaar Very Sensitive List, the
United States has limited the use of License Exception TSR to a list of
specifically identified countries for certain ECCNs. These limitations
are contained in the TSR paragraph in the License Exception section of
nine ECCNs (i.e., ECCNs 1E001, 5D001, 5E001, 6D001, 6D003, 6E001,
6E002, 8D001 and 8E001) that control items on the Wassenaar Very
Sensitive List and for which TSR has been authorized for some, or all
of the ECCN.
The TSR paragraph limitation was introduced in 1998, upon
[[Page 61886]]
implementation of the Wassenaar Arrangement (63 FR 2452), with a list
of sixteen destinations eligible for TSR for Wassenaar Very Sensitive
List items. Approximately one year later, Japan was added to the TSR
paragraph limitation (64 FR 10852). In 2008, Australia and Norway were
added to the TSR paragraph in ECCN 1E001, with the explanation that
their original exclusion had been an oversight. Australia and Norway
were not added to the other TSR paragraphs with Wassenaar Very
Sensitive List limitations, creating an inconsistency.
This final rule adopts a standardized list of countries under the
EAR for the nine ECCNs. The use of this standardized list of countries
simplifies the use of the TSR License Exception for these nine ECCNs
and aid the public's understanding regarding which countries are
eligible and not eligible to receive National Security (NS) controlled
technology under these nine ECCNs. Commenter No. 7 supported the
proposed change. BIS has recently determined that the thirty-six
countries listed in License Exception Strategic Trade Authorization,
Section 740.20(c)(1) of the EAR, are eligible for License Exception
authorization for Wassenaar Very Sensitive List items. These 36
countries are: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. This final rule revises
the list of countries in the TSR paragraph for the nine ECCNs to state
``those countries listed in Sec. 740.20(c)(1) (License Exception
STA).'' The 17 countries (19 countries in 1E001) that were previously
identified as being eligible for License Exception TSR under these
ECCNs were a subset of the 36 STA-eligible countries. Therefore, this
final rule adds the remaining 19 countries, except for 1E001 where this
final rule adds the remaining 17 countries, as eligible countries to
receive this type of technology through application of License
Exception TSR under these ECCNs.
(B) ECCN Changes To Conform to the Multilateral Export Control Regimes
Commenters No. 5 and 7 noted they supported what they said was the
``BIS'' effort to conform the CCL to multilateral export control regime
control lists. Commenter No. 7 also noted they appreciated all the
changes to make CCL language consistent with the MTCR, but they
requested confirmation that their understanding of the intent and scope
of the following proposed changes in the November 29 rule is correct:
``missiles'' is replaced with rockets, missiles and UAVs to ensure
Category 1 and 2 UAVs are captured; only UAV range is specified in
1A101 and 9D105 to capture Category 1 and 2 MTCR items; UAV and payload
are specified in 1D103 to only capture Category 1 subsystems; and UAVs
are not included in 7E104 because the MTCR Annex is specific to
optimization of rocket system trajectory, and does not include a
control related to UAVs. Commenter No. 7's description of the intent
and scope of these changes from the November 29 rule is correct. BIS
received no other comments regarding these proposed changes, so BIS is
implementing these changes, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 1A101. This final rule amends 1A101 by replacing the term
``missiles'' in the heading with the phrase ``rockets, missiles, or
unmanned aerial vehicles capable of achieving a ``range'' equal to or
greater than 300 km'' to conform to the Missile Technology Control
Regime (MTCR) Annex. BIS did not receive any comments on this change,
so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 1D103. This final rule amends 1D103 by replacing the term
``missiles'' in the heading with the phrase ``rockets, missiles, or
unmanned aerial vehicles capable of delivering at least a 500 kg
payload to a ``range'' equal to or greater than 300 km'' to conform to
the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive any comments on this change, so BIS
is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 1E001. This final rule amends 1E001 by removing ECCN 1A008
from the heading and NS controls paragraph. This change is made to
conform to the Wassenaar Arrangement List of Dual-Use Goods and
Technologies that does not extend to technology for 1A008. This change
was not proposed in the November 29 rule, but was identified by BIS as
an additional change that needed to be implemented to conform to the
Wassenaar Arrangement. Therefore, BIS is implementing these changes in
this final rule.
ECCNs 2E001 and 2E002. Commenter No. 6 suggested expanding the
scope of the exclusion in the headings in 2E001 and 2E002 by adding
ECCN 2B999 to the list of commodities controlled in 2B that are not
within the scope of 2E001 and 2E002. To support their position, this
commenter noted that 2E001 and 2E002 control ``technology'' for all
isostatic presses, regardless of capability. They further noted that
even commercial MIG welders and industrial sewage pumps (e.g., ECCNs
2B999.d and 2B999.j) are thus controlled. Commenter No. 6 asserted that
given 2E001 and 2E002 are generally associated with high levels of
control, there may be confusion when ``production'' ``technology'' for
a MIG welder is classified 2E001, but the commodity is classified under
an AT-only control. BIS agrees with Commenter No. 6 and is implementing
these two changes in this final rule. The change being implemented in
the final rule will exclude technology for 2B999, but the overall
impact on the number of licenses received by BIS is expected to be
minimal.
ECCN 5D101. This final rule amends 5D101 by removing the term
``items'' from the heading and adding the term ``equipment'' in its
place. This rule will make this change to be consistent with the MTCR
Annex. BIS did not receive any comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCNs 6A002 and 6A003. This final rule amends 6A002 and 6A003 by
correcting a spelling error in the headings of these two ECCNs to
remove the term ``therefore'' and replace it with ``therefor.'' These
changes are being made to conform to the Wassenaar Arrangement List of
Dual-Use Goods and Technologies that uses the term ``therefor'' for
both of these entries. These two changes were not proposed in the
November 29 rule, but were identified by BIS as additional changes that
needed to be implemented to conform to the Wassenaar Arrangement.
Therefore, BIS is implementing these changes in this final rule.
ECCN 6D102. This final rule amends 6D102 by removing the term
``goods'' from the heading and adding the term ``equipment'' in its
place. This rule makes this change to be consistent with the MTCR
Annex. BIS did not receive any comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 6D994. This final rule removes 6D994 to conform to a previous
amendment to the EAR that imposed a control for these same items under
6D003.c. BIS's intention when 6D994 was added to the CCL was to impose
a control on this software until a control could be approved at the
Wassenaar Arrangement and implemented in the EAR. When the final rule
to add this software to 6D003.c was published, the intention was to
remove 6D994. However, this entry was inadvertently retained at the
time 6D003.c was added to the CCL, which may have caused
[[Page 61887]]
confusion for exporters trying to classify this type of software
because the software meets the description of two software ECCNs. To
address this oversight, this final rule removes 6D994 from the CCL,
leaving 6D003.c as the control ECCN. BIS did not receive any comments
on this change, so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in
this final rule.
ECCN 7D101. This final rule amends 7D101 by revising the heading to
include 7A117 in the list of ECCNs for which 7D101 controls the
software. 7A117 is a reference to a USML control based on the MTCR
Annex. 7D101 controls the software of certain commodities controlled
for MT reasons. This change is made to conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS
did not receive any comments on this change, so BIS is implementing
this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 7E104. This final rule amends 7E104 by replacing the term
``missiles'' in the heading with the phrase ``rockets or missiles
capable of achieving a ``range'' equal to or greater than 300 km'' to
conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive any comments on this
change, so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final
rule.
ECCN 9A107. This final rule amends 9A107 by revising the heading to
replace the word ``engines'' with the word ``motors.'' This change is
made to conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive any comments on
this change, so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in this
final rule.
ECCN 9A110. This final rule amends 9A110 by revising the heading to
include 9A109 in the list of ECCNs for which 9A110 controls the
composite structures, laminates and manufactures thereof. 9A109 is a
reference to a USML control based on the MTCR Annex. 9A110 controls the
software of certain commodities controlled for MT reasons. This rule
also amends 9A110 by replacing the defined term ``missiles'' with the
phrase ``rockets, missiles, or unmanned aerial vehicles capable of
achieving a ``range'' equal to or greater than 300 km.'' These changes
are made to conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive any comments
on these changes, so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in
this final rule.
ECCN 9A118. This final rule amends 9A118 by inserting the phrase
``missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles capable of achieving a
``range'' ``equal to or greater than 300 km'' into the heading to
conform to the MTCR Annex. Commenter No. 7 identified a typographical
error in 9A118 where the word ``of'' was used, but the word ``to'' was
intended. BIS accepts this change and is correcting the error in this
final rule, so the parameter correctly reads, ``capable of achieving a
range equal to or greater than 300 km.''
ECCNs 9B001, 9B002, 9B003 and 9B004. Commenter No. 6 noted that the
relationship between these four ECCNs and ECCN 9A001 could be made
clearer as it relates to the MT controlled portions of these four
ECCNs. This commenter noted that, as currently written, the equipment
described in these four ECCNs is controlled for MT reasons if it is
applicable to any engine whose characteristics are described in 9A001.
However, this commenter suggested that rather than referencing 9A101
obliquely through reference to 9A001 in the MT control(s) paragraphs in
9B001, 9B002, 9B003, and 9B004, BIS should add the following sentence
to the MT control(s) paragraph in these four ECCNs: ``MT applies only
to equipment for engines that meet the characteristics described in
9A101.'' BIS agrees that revising the MT control(s) paragraph in these
four ECCNs would be helpful, but BIS decided to use different control
text than to what was proposed by Commenter No. 6. BIS will revise the
MT control(s) paragraph in these four ECCNs to indicate that the MT
control applies to equipment for engines controlled under 9A001 for MT
reasons and for engines controlled under 9A101. These changes are being
implemented in this final rule.
ECCN 9B115. This final rule amends 9B115 by revising the heading to
include 9A103 in the list of ECCNs for which 9B115 controls the
``production equipment.'' 9A103 is a reference to a USML control based
on the MTCR Annex. 9B115 controls the ``production equipment'' of
certain commodities controlled for MT reasons. This change is made to
conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive any comments on this
change, so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final
rule.
ECCN 9B116. This final rule amends 9B116 by revising the heading to
include 9A103 in the list of ECCNs for which 9B116 controls the
``production equipment.'' 9A103 is a reference to a USML control based
on the MTCR Annex. 9B116 controls the ``production equipment'' of
certain commodities controlled for MT reasons. This change is made to
conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive any comments on this
change, so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final
rule.
ECCN 9D103. This final rule amends 9D103 by revising the heading to
include ECCNs 9A009, 9A107 and 9A109, and to expand the reference to
9A105 from 9A105.a to the entire ECCN in the list of ECCNs for which
9D103 controls certain ``software.'' ECCNs 9A009, 9A105, 9A107, and
9A109 are references to USML controls based on the MTCR Annex. 9D103 is
a reference to a USML control based on the MTCR Annex. This change is
made to conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive any comments on
this change, so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in this
final rule.
ECCN 9D104. This final rule amends 9D104 by revising the heading to
include ECCNs 9A006, 9A007, 9A008, 9A009, 9A010, 9A115, 9A116, and
9A106.e in the list of ECCNs for which 9D104 controls the ``software.''
9A006, 9A007, 9A008, 9A009, 9A010, 9A115 and 9A116 are references to
USML controls based on the MTCR Annex. 9A106.e is controlled on the CCL
for MT reasons. 9D104 controls the ``software'' of certain commodities
controlled for MT reasons. This change is made to conform to the MTCR
Annex. BIS did not receive any comments on this change, so BIS is
implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 9D105. This final rule amends 9D105 by replacing the term
``missiles'' in the heading with the phrase ``rockets, missiles, or
unmanned aerial vehicles capable of achieving a ``range'' equal to or
greater than 300 km'' to conform to the MTCR Annex. BIS did not receive
any comments on this change, so BIS is implementing this change, as
proposed, in this final rule.
(3) Structural Changes To Improve the Clarity of the CCL
ECCNs on the CCL follow the same basic paragraph structure,
although not all ECCNs contain the same paragraphs. The common
paragraph structure is intended to allow the public to quickly review
ECCNs and to identify relevant paragraphs in each ECCN. This final rule
is implementing changes to the standard section headings that are used
in most ECCNs on the CCL. These changes affect most of the ECCNs on the
CCL, but are being implemented through instructions instead of setting
out each revision in the regulatory text. BIS is making the changes in
this manner to save on the cost of implementing these structural
changes. BIS's decision also took into account that the changes are not
ECCN specific and are more focused on how the ECCN information is being
communicated to the public. Each of the structural changes this rule
implements improves the clarity of the CCL and is further described
below. Commenter No. 6 noted that the clarification and background in
the November 29 proposed rule on the placement of the phrase ``(see
List of Items Controlled)''
[[Page 61888]]
is greatly appreciated, as is the addition of the phrase ``as follows
(see List of Items Controlled)'' where necessary. Commenter No. 8
questioned the use of ``as follows'' because they believed it was
redundant in ECCNs that also use ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' at
the end of the ECCN. BIS agrees that the use of the phrase ``as
follows'' in this case is redundant. BIS is, however, not accepting
this change in the final rule because ``as follows'' is used on the
Wassenaar Arrangement's control lists and because ``(see List of Items
Controlled)'' is a CCL convention.
Commenter No. 7 noted they supported the structural changes, such
as explicit references to Part 740, License Exceptions, references to
Country Chart, and adding Reporting Requirements section to affected
ECCNs. This commenter noted that these structural changes will increase
understanding of license exceptions and the standardized structure will
make it easier for exporters to use and comply with EAR. BIS agrees.
Receiving no other comments on these changes, BIS implements these
changes, as proposed, in this final rule.
BIS also implements in this final rule these same structural
changes to the new ECCNs added in the April 16 (initial implementation)
rule and the July 8, 2013 final rule, Revisions to the Export
Administration Regulations: Military Vehicles; Vessels of War;
Submersible Vessels, Oceanographic Equipment; Related Items; and
Auxiliary and Miscellaneous Items that the President Determines No
Longer Warrant Control under the United States Munitions List (July 8
(implementation) rule) (78 FR 22660). These are not corrections to the
initial implementation rule and the July 8 (implementation) rule, but
rather are conforming changes being made as a result of the changes
included in this final rule. This final rule also includes
clarifications to the April 16 (initial implementation) rule that are
not limited to conforming changes with this final rule, but those are
described below under (6) Clarifications to the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule.
Although the November 29 proposed rule was published before the
initial implementation rule and the July 8 (implementation) rule, those
final rules were published without the structural changes described
here. At the time of publication of those final rules, their new ``600
series'' ECCNs were consistent with the existing structure of the CCL.
This final rule makes these structural changes to the ECCNs added in
those two rules and adopts them for all subsequent rules that add new
ECCNs described here.
This final rule also includes clarifications to the April 16
(initial implementation) rule that are not limited to conforming
changes with this final rule. These changes are described below under
the heading ``(6) Clarifications to the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule.''
(A) Revision of License Exceptions Section Heading
This final rule revises the License Exceptions section heading to
add greater specificity. Specifically, this rule revises the section
heading by changing it from ``License Exceptions'' to the more specific
section heading of ``List-Based License Exceptions (See Part 740 for a
description of all license exceptions).'' This rule also adds a
parenthetical after the revised section heading to provide a cross
reference to the license exceptions part of the EAR. This rule adds
this cross reference because a definitive determination of whether a
license exception may be used for a specific ECCN can only be made
after also reviewing the applicable license exception provisions in
part 740 of the EAR. BIS did not receive any comments on this change,
so BIS is implementing this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
This final rule also makes this change to the following ECCNs:
9A610, 9A619, 9B610, 9B619, 9C610, 9C619, 9D610, 9D619, 9E610, and
9E619, as added in the April 16 (initial implementation) rule (78 FR
22718), which goes into effect on October 15, 2013. In addition, this
final rule makes this change to the following ECCNs: 0A606, 0A617,
0B606, 0B617, 0C606, 0C617, 0D606, 0D617, 0D617, 0E606, 0E617, 8A609,
8A620, 8B609, 8B620, 8C609, 8D609, 8D620, 8E609, and 8E620, as added
July 8 (implementation) rule (78 FR 40892), which goes into effect on
January 6, 2014.
(B) Removal of the License Exception STA Paragraphs
In order to implement the changes described above under (A)
Revision of License Exceptions section heading, this final rule is also
removing the License Exception STA paragraph in the License Exceptions
section of the following seventy-nine ECCNs: 0A606, 0A617, 0B606,
0B617, 0C606, 0C617, 0D606, 0D617, 0D617, 0E606, 0E617, 1A002, 1C001,
1C007, 1C010, 1C012, 1D002, 1E001, 1E002, 2D001, 2E001, 2E002, 3A002,
3B001, 3D001, 3E001, 4A001, 4D001, 4E001, 5A001, 5B001, 5D001, 5E001,
6A001, 6A002, 6A003, 6A004, 6A006, 6A008, 6B008, 6D001, 6D003, 6E001,
6E002, 7D003, 7E001, 7E002, 8A001, 8A002, 8A609, 8A620, 8B609, 8B620,
8C609, 8D001, 8D002, 8E001, 8E002, 8D609, 8D620, 8E609, 8E620, 9A610,
9A619, 9B001, 9B610, 9B619, 9C610, 9C619, 9D001, 9D002, 9D004, 9D610,
9D619, 9E001, 9E002, 9E003, 9E610, and 9E619. This rule moves the text
of those License Exception STA paragraphs to a new section titled
``Special Conditions for STA.'' This rule is creating this new section
immediately following the proposed ``List-Based License Exceptions (See
Part 740 for a description of all license exceptions)'' instruction
because the License Exception STA paragraphs do not perform the same
function as the other list-based license exception paragraphs. This
rule is not implementing any changes to the regulatory text included in
the current License Exception STA paragraphs of these ECCNs. These STA
changes include the thirty ``600 series'' ECCNs referenced above
(0A606, 0A617, 0B606, 0B617, 0C606, 0C617, 0D606, 0D617, 0D617, 0E606,
0E617, 8A609, 8A620, 8B609, 8B620, 8C609, 8D609, 8D620, 8E609, 8E620,
9A610, 9A610, 9B610, 9B619, 9C610, 9C619, 9D610, 9D619, 9E610 and
9E619) that were not included in the November 29 proposed rule, but are
now included because ten of these ECCNs were published in the initial
implementation rule and will be in the EAR on the effective date of
this final rule, and the other twenty have been published in the July 8
(implementation) rule. The July 8 (implementation) rule is not
effective until January 6, 2014, but the changes being implemented in
this rule will align these twenty ``600 series'' ECCNs with structural
changes being made to the ECCN headings when that rule does become
effective. The changes implemented in this rule are limited to adding a
new section heading and moving the existing License Exception STA
paragraphs in these seventy-nine ECCNs to the new STA section heading.
BIS did not receive any comments on this change, so BIS is implementing
this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
(C) Adding a Cross-Reference After Country Chart
This final rule is revising the ``Country Chart'' paragraph heading
in the License Requirements section to add a parenthetical to indicate
where the public can find the Country Chart. The revised Country Chart
paragraph heading will now read ``Country Chart (See Supp. No. 1 to
part 738).'' Not all ECCNs include a Country Chart paragraph and a
small number of ECCNs do not rely on the Commerce Country Chart for
determining destination-based
[[Page 61889]]
license requirements. Most ECCNs, however, are structured to refer to
the information contained in the Country Chart paragraph in Supplement
No. 1 to part 738 to identify destination-based license requirements.
The changes in this rule will clarify that for the ECCNs that use this
structure, exporters, reexporters and transferors need to refer to the
Country Chart in Supplement No. 1 to part 738 to determine destination-
based license requirements. For experienced exporters, reexporters, and
transferors, this structure is well understood. The new cross
references are primarily intended for those exporters, reexporters, and
transferors who are new to the EAR and who may not as readily
understand the relationship between this standard ECCN paragraph and
Supplement No. 1 to part 738. The new parenthetical phrase at the end
of the Country Chart paragraph will make the relationship explicit. BIS
did not receive any comments on this change, so BIS is implementing
this change, as proposed, in this final rule.
This final rule also makes this change to the following ECCNs:
9A610, 9A619, 9B610, 9B619, 9C610, 9C619, 9D610, 9D619, 9E610, and
9E619, as added in the April 16 (initial implementation) rule (78 FR
22718), which goes into effect on October 15, 2013. In addition, this
final rule also makes this change to the following ECCNs: 0A606, 0A617,
0B606, 0B617, 0C606, 0C617, 0D606, 0D617, 0D617, 0E606, 0E617, 8A609,
8A620, 8B609, 8B620, 8C609, 8D609, 8D620, 8E609, and 8E620, as added
July 8 (implementation) rule (78 FR 40892), which goes into effect on
January 6, 2014.
(D) Adding a New ``Reporting Requirements'' Section to Certain ECCNs
Some ECCNs include references to reporting requirements, which are
typically found either in License Requirement notes or in notes to the
``items'' paragraphs in the List of Items Controlled section. BIS has
adopted a standardized paragraph structure for ECCNs, as much as
possible, to assist the public in classifying items. A standardized
paragraph structure helps the public classify items by putting the
information contained in an ECCN into a useable and easily recognizable
format. The current reporting requirements, which are found in various
sections and paragraphs of the individual ECCNs, deviate from this type
of standardized structure. To address this issue, this final rule is
adding a new section heading called Reporting Requirements where the
existing reporting requirements found in ECCNs will be consolidated.
This rule is not making any changes to the scope of current reporting
requirements. This standardized structure will aid in compliance with
the reporting requirements and assist exporters in more quickly and
easily identifying ECCNs subject to reporting requirements. The rule is
adding the new Reporting Requirements section heading immediately
before the License Exceptions section.
To implement this change in Supplement No. 1 to part 774 (the
Commerce Control List), this final rule removes the ``License
Requirements Notes'' paragraphs in the License Requirements section in
the following forty-three ECCNs: 1A002, 1C007, 1C010, 1D002, 1E001,
1E002, 2B003, 2D001, 2E001, 2E002, 3A002, 3B001, 3D001, 3E001, 4A001,
4E001, 5A001, 5B001, 5D001, 5E001, 6A001, 6A002, 6A003, 6A004, 6A006,
6A008, 6B008, 6D001, 6D003, 6E001, 6E002, 8A001, 8A002, 8D001, 8D002,
8E001, 8E002, 9B001, 9D001, 9D002, 9E001, 9E002 and 9E003. In forty-two
of these ECCNs and in six additional ECCNs: 1C001, 4D001, 7D002, 7D003,
7E001, 7E002, this rule adds the new section entitled ``REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS See Sec. 743.1 of the EAR for reporting requirements for
exports under License Exceptions, Special Comprehensive Licenses, and
Validated End-User authorizations'' after the License Requirements
section in each of these respective ECCNs. BIS is adding the
``REPORTING REQUIREMENTS'' paragraph to ECCNs 1C001, 4D001, 7D002,
7D003, 7E001 and 7E002 to alert exporters that reporting requirements
were imposed on these ECCNs in the April 16 (initial implementation)
rule through the changes to Sec. 743.1 and the addition of the
Wassenaar Arrangement Sensitive and Very Sensitive Lists as Supplements
Nos. 6 and 7 to Part 774. In ECCN 6A003, this rule adds a Reporting
Requirement section with a more detailed statement describing the
specific reporting requirement applicable to that ECCN. This rule also
changes the new Reporting Requirements section to ensure that the text
conforms to the listing of authorizations in Sec. 743.1 that require
reporting to BIS. Lastly, this rule removes the License Requirement
Note in 3B001, but does not add a Reporting Requirements section
because 3B001 is not identified in Sec. 743.1, so the reference is no
longer needed.
Commenter No. 8 requested that additional explanation be provided
regarding the role of other License Requirements Notes on the CCL and
whether such notes should be renamed to better reflect their role in
those ECCNs. This commenter noted that unlike other elements of an
ECCN, the EAR does not address what significance exporters should give
such notes when interpreting an ECCN. This commenter noted that it
would stand to reason that these notes are commentary relevant to
``License Requirements'' section. That section, however, addresses
reasons why export of an item might require a license, whereas notes
often purport to address substantive scope of an ECCN. BIS does not
believe any additional renaming of the License Requirements Notes is
needed at this time, but BIS will continue to review this issue as an
additional option for making the CCL clearer. At this time, the License
Requirements Notes tend to have an ECCN-specific meaning, typically
describing in greater detail the scope of the ECCN or the license
requirements applicable to a specific ECCN.
Commenter No. 8 also provided the example of the License
Requirement Note 1 to 1C351, which states that certain medical products
containing most ECCN 1C351 toxins are excluded from 1C351, to
illustrate his concern and request for guidance. Commenter No. 8
asserted that this creates the impression 1C351 would control medical
products containing some toxins listed in that ECCN, or possibly even
other items covered by 1C351. The ``items'' paragraph of 1C351,
however, covers only stand-alone viruses, bacteria, toxins and fungi.
The EAR require that all items controlled under a given ECCN be set out
in a positive list in the ``items'' paragraph, but ECCN 1C351's
``items'' paragraph does not identify any item that contains a toxin,
virus, etc., contrary to the implication created by License Requirement
Note 1. The commenter also contended that BIS takes the position that
ECCN 1C351 does control items containing such ECCN 1C351 items. In
addition to the general response above on the comment for renaming the
License Requirements Notes, BIS provides this specific guidance on the
meaning of the License Requirement Note in 1C351. The License
Requirement Note is explicit regarding what is excluded from 1C351 and
what is classified as 1C991 by specifying in the last sentence of the
License Requirement Note that ``vaccines, immunotoxins, certain medical
products, and diagnostic and food testing kits excluded from the scope
of this entry are controlled under ECCN 1C991.'' Other products may be
1C351, such as tissue samples that have pathogens. However, if this
person or
[[Page 61890]]
any other person has a question regarding the classification of a
particular material or the applicability of a License Requirements
Note, he or she may submit a commodity classification request to BIS
using the SNAP-R online submission system. BIS did not receive any
other comments on this change, so BIS is implementing it, as proposed,
in this final rule.
(E) Section 738.2(d)(2)(Reading an ECCN). Commenter No. 8 noted
that the explanations in the November 29 proposed rule of the
relationship between the heading of an ECCN and its ``items''
paragraph, and the significance of the placement of the phrase ``(see
List of Items Controlled)'' in the heading, are at odds with the
instructions on reading an ECCN in Sec. 738.2(d)(2) of the EAR.
Section 738.2(d)(2) states that the ``items'' paragraph in the List of
Items Controlled section is the list of items controlled under that
ECCN and that if the header is a complete list, the ``items'' paragraph
consists solely of a note directing the reader to review the heading.
BIS accepts this comment and revises Sec. 738.2(d)(2) of the EAR
to address the commenter's concerns, and adds new paragraphs
(d)(2)(iv)(C)(1), (2), and (3) to provide examples of the three
different uses of the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' in ECCN
headings. Understanding the relationship between the heading and the
``items'' paragraph is important when classifying items that are
``subject to the EAR'' on the CCL and these examples will assist the
public's understanding of these provisions of the EAR. These revisions
reflect that the ECCN heading is a list of the items controlled in the
ECCN and that the ``items'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section will completely describe portions of the ECCN heading subject
to control if the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' is in the
heading. If the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' does not
appear in the heading, the heading is complete. An example of such a
heading is ECCN 4E980 ``[t]echnology'' for the ``development,''
``production'' or ``use'' of commodities controlled by 4A980. ECCNs
0A982, 3A292, 5D101, 8D001, and 9A002 are other examples where the
heading is the exclusive description of the items classified under
those respective ECCNs.
If the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' appears at the end
of the heading, the ``items'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled
section is a complete, exclusive description of the items controlled
under that ECCN and the heading is merely for reference purposes. An
example of an ECCN where all of the heading text precedes the phrase
``(see List of Items Controlled)'' is ECCN 8A002 Marine systems,
equipment, ``parts'' and ``components,'' as follows (see List of Items
Controlled). ECCNs 1A001, 3A001, 6A001, 7A004, and 9A012 are other
examples where all of the heading text precedes the phrase ``(see List
of Items Controlled).''
If the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' appears in the
middle of the heading, the ``items'' paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section is a description of the items controlled under that
ECCN for the portion of the heading that preceded the phrase. However,
any portion of the heading that follows the phrase ``(see List of Items
Controlled)'' is to be read in addition to the ``items'' paragraph. An
example of such a heading is ECCN 2B992 Non-``numerically controlled''
machine tools for generating optical quality surfaces, (see List of
Items Controlled) and ``specially designed'' ``parts'' and
``components'' therefor. ECCNs 1A006, 3B992, 4A001, 6A006, and 7A001
are other examples where the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)''
appears in the middle of the ECCN heading. BIS has identified seven
additional ECCNs that require the phrase ``(see List of Items
Controlled)'' in the ECCN headings: 1C350, 1C355, 1C992, 2A991, 3B992,
5A992, and 9A004. In each of these ECCNs, the heading is not a complete
description of the items controlled under that ECCN and the ``items''
paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section details the items
controlled. Therefore, BIS implements the changes suggested by the
commenter in this final rule.
(F) Addition of Guidance on the Use of Quotation Marks on the CCL
In addition to the changes described below for Sec. 774.1, this
final rule also revises this section to add a new paragraph (d)
entitled Conventions related to the use of quotation marks on the CCL.
This new paragraph provides guidance on the use of quotation marks on
the CCL. This guidance is not a substantive change to the CCL and is
limited to providing guidance on BIS's current practice as it relates
to the use of quotation marks on the CCL. BIS did not propose this in
the November 29 proposed rule, but identified this as an additional
non-substantive clarification that could be made to the CCL. Therefore,
BIS is implementing this change in this final rule.
As background for this new guidance, part 772 includes definitions
for terms used in the EAR. Throughout the EAR, but most prevalent in
the CCL, BIS uses the convention of double quotes to identify terms
that are defined in part 772. If a term on the CCL uses double quotes,
it means it is a defined term in part 772. However, the absence of
double quotes does not mean that a term used on the CCL is not defined
in part 772. Because the CCL includes many terms that are defined in
part 772, BIS's practice is to use double quotes for certain defined
terms and when it is needed for consistency with multilateral export
control regime based entries, such as many derived from control lists,
in particular for the Wassenaar Arrangement that also uses the double
quotes convention. However, because of the large number of defined
terms used on the CCL and a desire to avoid hindering readability by
placing quotes around too many terms used in particular ECCNs, BIS's
practice is to not add double quotes around certain terms, such as
items and commodities.
The CCL also includes a convention regarding the use of single
quotes. Single quotes on the CCL identify a term as a defined term in
the context of a particular ECCN. However, even within BIS or other
parts of the U.S. Government these conventions as they relate to the
use of quotes can sometimes become more complex than needed. As a
longer term project, BIS intends to conduct a review on the use of
quotation marks on the CCL and in the larger EAR to determine if a
simpler approach could be developed, such as possibly eliminating the
use of double quotation marks to avoid the incorrect negative inference
that the only defined terms are those with double quotation marks. The
opposite end of the spectrum would be to add quotes around all defined
terms, but that would hinder the readability of the CCL.
The use of quotation marks on the CCL is intended to be an aid to
alert the reader to terms used on the CCL that are defined in part 772.
In this sense the quotes are helpful, but a good compliance practice is
to familiarize yourself with part 772 and the terms that are defined
there, and when reviewing a control parameter on the CCL that uses a
term that is not in quotes to be aware it may be defined in part 772.
(4) Removal of Fourteen ECCNs Subject to the Exclusive Jurisdiction of
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
(A) Removal of Fourteen ECCNs
In the November 29 proposed rule, BIS proposed removing fourteen
ECCNs to eliminate certain cross-references to controls that are under
the exclusive jurisdiction of other agencies. The
[[Page 61891]]
current CCL includes forty-nine ECCNs that refer to items that are
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Department of Energy
(DOE), the NRC, or the Department of State. They constitute
approximately 10% of the total number of ECCNs on the CCL. Of the
forty-nine ECCNs, fourteen are subject to the export licensing
authority of the NRC at 10 CFR part 110. This final rule is removing
these fourteen ECCNs from the CCL. The fourteen ECCNs are 0A001, 0B001,
0B002, 0B003, 0B004, 0B005, 0B006, 0C001, 0C002, 0C004, 0C005, 0C006,
0C201 and 1C012. These ECCNs are Nuclear Trigger List items, so the
jurisdiction of these items is already established under U.S. export
controls and, as explained below, there is no need to include this
additional cross reference from the CCL to the controls maintained by
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
BIS's original purpose for including these ECCNs on the CCL was to
supplement Sec. 734.3 (Items subject to the EAR) under paragraph
(b)(1), which describes items that are not subject to the EAR because
they are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of another agency of the
U.S. Government, and to supplement the jurisdiction information for the
other U.S. Government agencies found in Supplement No. 3 to part 730
(Other U.S. Government Departments and Agencies with Export Control
Responsibilities). BIS also included these ECCNs to better align the
CCL with the European Union's control lists that are primarily based on
the multilateral export control regimes. However, by including
references to other agencies' controls in specific ECCNs there is the
potential that such ECCN references will become out of date if the
other agencies update their respective regulations and the
corresponding changes are not made in the EAR in a timely manner.
For example, on September 7, 2011 (76 FR 55278), the National
Nuclear Security Administration, Department of Energy (DOE), published
a notice of proposed rulemaking that proposed various amendments to
regulations concerning unclassified assistance to foreign atomic energy
activities. These proposed revisions were intended to reduce
uncertainties for industry users concerning which foreign nuclear
related activities by U.S. persons are ``generally authorized'' under
the regulation and which activities require a ``specific
authorization'' from the Secretary of Energy. However, if the ECCNs on
the CCL that currently refer to DOE and the NRC controls are not
updated, the uncertainties for exporters, reexporters and transferors
would increase because of inconsistencies among the regulations. This
rule only removes the fourteen ECCNs that refer to NRC controls. The
ECCN that refers to DOE export controls is ECCN 0E001, and that ECCN is
not being removed at this time because it also includes certain
portions of the entry that are ``subject to the ITAR.'' However, to
avoid uncertainties for exporters, reexporters and transferors as noted
in the example above, BIS will endeavor to remove cross references to
ECCNs that refer to DOE and NRC controls to avoid inconsistencies among
regulations. Given that the NRC respective regulations are controlling
in this area and these ECCNs are only acting as a cross reference, BIS
proposed the removal of these ECCNs in the November 29 rule.
Although BIS proposed to remove the cross-references, BIS has
determined there still is utility in including general cross references
to other agencies' controls, including after the review of the comments
received in response to the November 29 rule. Thus, this final rule
includes a general cross reference at the beginning of the CCL in a
revised Sec. 774.1 (Introduction) that contains those ECCNs that have
been reserved and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of another
agency of the U.S. Government. In addition, the related control
paragraphs of ECCNs contain cross references to controls of other
agencies to the extent that such controls are similar to or related to
the controls of certain ECCNs.
The remaining thirty-five of the forty-nine ECCNs refer to items
that are ``subject to the ITAR,'' which is maintained by the Department
of State. Given the ongoing review of the United States Munitions List
(USML) that is being conducted under the ECR Initiative, it is
premature to remove or revise these thirty-five ECCNs. In addition,
given the number of cross references, in particular in Categories 7 and
9 of the CCL, to these thirty-five ECCNs, BIS determined that removing
the ECCNs that are ``subject to the ITAR'' should be addressed once the
review of the USML has been completed. Therefore, BIS is not
implementing any additional changes in this final rule for those
remaining 35 ECCNs.
BIS received two comments on these proposed changes in the November
29 rule. One commenter supported and one commenter opposed the changes.
Commenter No. 7 supported the removal of the fourteen ECCNs, stating
that these changes will avoid regulatory confusion and eliminate the
need for BIS to continually update controls administered by a different
agency. BIS agrees. Commenter No. 3 opposed the removal of these
fourteen ECCNs, stating that the removal of the fourteen ECCNs would
not result in clarity but rather in complexity. Commenter No. 3
included a number of reasons supporting their position and also
included suggested alternatives. BIS reviewed these comments and
responds to these comments below. BIS's analysis also included
conducting analysis of data in the Automated Export System (AES) for
these fourteen ECCNs to further evaluate these changes. The analysis of
the AES data in particular highlighted for BIS and the NRC that these
cross references have not been reported properly in AES in certain
cases, such as EAR license exceptions or No License Required (NLR)
designations being reported for some of these fourteen ECCNs that are
subject to the NRC. BIS is working with the U.S. Census Bureau and the
NRC at this time to create a change in AES that will create a fatal
error for AES filers who try to use any type of EAR authorization or
NLR designation for these fourteen ECCNs that are subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the NRC and that are being removed from the
CCL in this final rule. BIS addresses the comments received below, but
the review of the AES data also played an important role in informing
BIS's decision to move forward with the implementation of the removal
of these fourteen ECCNs as proposed in the November 29 rule with minor
modifications based on the review of the public comments.
Commenter No. 3 indicated the removal of the fourteen ECCNs leaves
exporters without valid ECCNs and no viable alternative is offered.
Commenter No. 3 noted the proposed replacement list in Sec. 774.1 of
the EAR is little more than a difficult-to-find and difficult-to-use
footnote. BIS understands that certain exporters are more comfortable
with using the CCL than the NRC's control list, but the fact remains
these items are not subject to the EAR. Therefore, although these
fourteen ECCNs alert the public that these items are subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the NRC, exporters still must review the
NRC's control list and regulations to determine their responsibilities
under the NRC regulations. There is and can be no easy substitute for
reviewing the NRC's control list. The new CCL Order of Review that was
added to the EAR in the initial implementation final rule published on
April 16, 2013 further clarified this issue in terms of the proposed
order of review of the CCL. If the item is not subject to the EAR
[[Page 61892]]
because it is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of another U.S.
Government export control agency, you should exit the EAR and consult
the other agency's controls. Other parts of the EAR, such as Supplement
No. 3 to part 730 referenced above and Sec. 734.3(b), also address
this issue. BIS has made some changes to Sec. 774.1 to make those
references more useful as a historical reference to these fourteen
ECCNs and to also act as a better cross reference to the multilateral
export control regime entries that applied to these fourteen ECCNs at
the time of their removal.
Commenter No. 3 also noted the negative impact on Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) because CBP cannot rely on those fourteen ECCNs
anymore. The commenter noted that the NRC's regulations under 10 CFR
part 110 do not use the standard ECCN format, so Customs cannot
directly relate ECCNs on the shipping document to NRC export controls.
The commenter noted if these fourteen ECCNs are removed as proposed in
the November 29 rule, Customs officers would need to refer to an old
version of the CCL or possibly to the European Union (EU) control list.
BIS does not agree with this comment. CBP does not and should not rely
on the CCL for items that are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of
another agency of the U.S. Government. For items described in these
fourteen ECCN cross references or any other item that is subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the NRC, CBP evaluates whether the item is
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the NRC and whether it is
being exported in accordance with the NRC's regulations. The EAR does
not enter into their analysis. If there is any question regarding the
jurisdiction or classification of the item or whether it is being
exported in accordance with the NRC regulations, CBP would follow up
directly with the NRC, similar to what is done under the EAR for items
that are subject to the EAR. As noted above, the NRC's list and
regulations control the transaction; therefore, CBP would refer
directly to the NRC's list.
Commenter No. 3, who opposes the change, also noted that if the
fourteen NRC ECCNs were removed from CCL, an exporter could erroneously
choose to use no ECCN, to invent a non-standard ECCN, or to use the
(now questionably-documented) former CCL ECCN. As BIS noted in response
to the previous comment, the exporter should use the classification for
the item based on the NRC's control list. The exporter should also use
the applicable NRC authorization or designation when entering data in
AES. Under no circumstances should an EAR authorization or NLR
designation be used in AES for an item that is subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the NRC. As noted above, BIS and the NRC are working
with the U.S. Census Bureau to create a fatal error, which is expected
to be implemented in 2014, to prevent filers from being able to
reference EAR authorizations or the NLR designation.
Commenter No. 3 also noted the proposed language for some ECCNs is
cumbersome, awkward and confusing. Commenter No. 3 offered ECCN 3A233
as an example, stating the proposed language is cumbersome and awkward,
requiring 40 words (including two defined terms) to describe an
exclusion that the current language accomplishes in six words. On a
related issue this commenter stated that the proposed changes do not
prevent cross-references from becoming out of date, and therefore might
not reduce maintenance. In the existing CCL, the NRC ECCNs are clearly
partitioned from the BIS ECCNs, but the proposed rule would blur the
distinction, in some cases by adding Heading Notes (e.g., 3A225) and in
other cases modifying the chapeau itself (e.g., 3A233). The commenter
noted that both approaches incorporate more tightly into the CCL the
NRC control language that BIS wishes to remove. The commenter asserted
that the probable outcome of this proposal would increase rather than
decrease BIS maintenance. As a result of BIS's review of these
comments, BIS has made changes in the final rule. BIS will not be
implementing the Heading Notes. In other places where a large amount of
text was needed, BIS has removed the detailed description of the NRC
controls in ECCNs that previously referenced one or more of the
fourteen ECCNs being removed. This final rule instead includes a
general reminder that items that are subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the NRC are not subject to the scope of the particular
ECCN in question. For example, 3A233, which was identified by the
commenter as overly complex and ambiguous as proposed for revision in
the November 29 rule, is simplified in this final rule as described in
the next paragraph, along with similar changes being made on the CCL
for those conforming changes to the fourteen ECCNs being removed in
this final rule.
The changes in this final rule to 3A233 clarify the mass
spectrometers controlled under this ECCN do not include ``items that
are subject to the export licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (see 10 CFR part 110).'' This concept is already specified
in other parts of the EAR, including the new CCL Order of Review
referenced above, but BIS believes this simplified approach will
address the concern noted by the commenter, while still alerting the
public that certain items related to 3A233 may be subject to the NRC's
regulations. BIS is making changes to similar ECCNs where conforming
changes are being made, in particular to those ECCNs where new heading
notes were proposed. BIS will continue to evaluate the best approach
for referencing the NRC's controls and in the future may simply add
such information to the ``related controls'' paragraphs of these ECCNs
that are subject to the EAR. However, for purposes of the changes being
implemented in this final rule, BIS has determined this modified
approach best achieves the objectives of the rule to remove these
fourteen ECCNs and to make appropriate conforming changes to the CCL
ECCNs where needed, while not re-creating the need to update the CCL to
track with changes to the NRC regulations. The commenter correctly
noted this was one of the rationales provided for the November 29
changes. BIS agrees with the commenter that a slightly revised approach
is needed in this final rule to achieve those objectives.
Commenter No. 3 also noted that timely maintenance of the NRC ECCNs
might not be needed. This commenter believed the existing structure of
the CCL provides clear and adequate notice to exporters that certain
items are subject to the export licensing jurisdiction of the NRC.
Therefore, timely maintenance of fourteen NRC ECCNs in the CCL is not
required. For the reasons noted above, BIS does not agree with this
comment; NRC's regulations would control the transaction, not the CCL,
regardless of whether the commenter believes the CCL is an easier list
to review. The commenter may wish to contact the NRC and make
suggestions for how the NRC control list could be reconfigured to make
it more user friendly and more consistent with the structure used by
the multilateral export control regimes. The premise that CCL entries
are controlling or that the CCL entries can be relied on is incorrect.
This analytical approach demonstrates an incorrect overreliance on the
CCL for items that are not subject to the EAR, and further reinforces
BIS's decision to remove these fourteen ECCNs.
Commenter No. 3 also noted that because the Nuclear Trigger List
rarely changes, it is not difficult to stay current with it. BIS agrees
that the Nuclear Trigger List rarely changes, but given the importance
of exporters making a correct determination regarding the
[[Page 61893]]
export control jurisdiction for an item, and the fact that there is a
real possibility of the NRC control list and the CCL entries' becoming
inconsistent due to ill-timed updating, BIS has determined that the
best approach is to create a clean break between the CCL and the NRC
regarding items that are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
NRC.
Commenter No. 3 also noted the NRC rule example cited in the
November 29 proposed rule did not change the Nuclear Trigger List. The
cited NRC rule only clarified when a license was required. This
commenter is correct, but based on the commenter's earlier comments
about relying on the CCL and the fact that it appears from the AES data
that certain exporters may not be referring at all to the NRC
regulations and simply relying on one of those fourteen ECCNs and using
an EAR authorization or NLR designation, any change to the NRC
regulations in particular regarding license requirements is still
relevant. In addition, there are other examples where the current NRC
controls may have greater or less specificity than what is currently
reflected on the CCL, which again speaks to the importance of
exporters' reviewing the actual NRC control lists instead of relying on
the CCL to perform that function for them. This commenter also
suggested that ECCN 0B002 contains an error and does not match the
Nuclear Trigger List.
BIS reviewed ECCN 0B002 and concluded that the current 0B002 is
consistent with the multilateral control list. However, this example
provides further support for the decision to remove the fourteen ECCNs
so that all descriptions of NRC controls will be in NRC regulations.
BIS provides this paragraph to provide additional background on the
reference above to the Nuclear Trigger List and how that fits in with
the U.S. export control system. The Nuclear Suppliers Group controls
two groups of items. The Part 1 Annex, which is often referred to as
the Trigger List, controls those items that are uniquely nuclear, such
as nuclear reactors and components; centrifuges and other enrichment
equipment; nuclear materials such as uranium and plutonium; heavy water
facilities, etc. These and other related items are controlled by the
NRC under 10 CFR Part 110. The related Part 1 technology is controlled
by the Department of Energy under 10 CFR Part 810. The Part 2 or Dual
Use annex, covers those items that have both a nuclear and non-nuclear
end use such as machine tools, pressure transducers, mass
spectrometers, etc. and are under the licensing jurisdiction of the
Department of Commerce. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
publishes both annexes under INFCIRC/254/Part1 and INFCIRC/254/Part 2.
They may also be viewed on the Nuclear Suppliers Group Web site.
Commenter No. 3 also noted that the complexity of text could
potentially also create burden for U.S. companies in the event that
foreign export control authorities were to request clarification on
whether the scope of, for example, U.S. ECCN 3A233 is equivalent to the
scope of their national ECCN 3A233. BIS does not see this as a burden
and also does not see this as the type of information that should be
expected to be provided by a U.S. company. The U.S. Government is
available to answer any questions from foreign parties, including other
regime member governments, about how U.S. export control lists
correspond with multilateral export control regime control lists.
Therefore, if a U.S. company receives such a request, they may simply
direct those foreign parties to contact the applicable agency of the
U.S. Government, in this case the NRC, for resolution.
Commenter No. 3 noted that alignment with the EU control list
remains a worthwhile goal. The commenter noted that the November 29
proposed rule did not seek to explain why this goal is no longer
worthwhile. BIS has added in this final rule references to the
multilateral export control regimes' control list to partially address
this comment. The U.S. export control system implements U.S. Government
commitments to the multilateral export control regimes in each of the
respective agency control lists as applicable for the particular
regimes. The removal of these fourteen ECCNs does not change the
commitment of the U.S. Government to control such items that are
reflected in the NRC control list. For the reasons noted above, though,
not removing these fourteen ECCNs on the CCL may cause ambiguity
regarding the proper export control jurisdiction between the CCL and
the NRC's control lists. For that reason, this final rule removes those
entries and replaces them with more general cross references to the
NRC's control lists.
Commenter No. 3 noted that the removal of these ECCNs could set an
undesirable precedent. This commenter believed U.S. action to split
what had hitherto been a single control list into multiple lists could
establish a precedent for other countries to do likewise--resulting in
more complexity in global export control system. BIS does not agree the
removal sets a bad precedent for other countries. Each country that is
a member of the multilateral export control regimes implements those
multilateral agreements into its own export control system, including
determining what types of agency structure (single agency or multiple
agencies) and type of control list (single control list or multiple
control lists) is most appropriate under its respective national export
controls. The importance is placed on implementing U.S. Government
multilateral regime commitments, which the U.S. Government has done.
This includes the removal of these fourteen ECCNs that, although the
cross-references to the NRC controls are being removed from the CCL,
are still controlled under the NRC. Therefore, the U.S. Government is
meeting its obligations to the Nuclear Suppliers Group and other
regimes as applicable, so BIS does not agree that the removal of these
fourteen ECCNs will set a bad precedent.
Commenter No. 3 noted that these removals are contrary to the
``single control list'' goal of export control reform. BIS does not
agree. The NRC and DOE regulations are not currently part of the single
list objective of the ECR Initiative, so there is no inconsistency with
this ECR objective.
Commenter No. 3 also offered two options for BIS to consider
instead of removing these fourteen ECCNs, along with various proposed
conforming changes to other ECCNs. The first option was retaining these
ECCNs because it creates an easy way to identify and classify these
items. The commenter asserted that retention of the fourteen NRC ECCNs
on the CCL would provide a natural method for U.S. exporters to use an
ECCN that is automatically and instantaneously recognized by all
parties (exporter, importer, licensing officer, or enforcement officer)
worldwide. For the reason discussed above in this section under (4)(A),
BIS does not accept this approach.
The second option was to retain the fourteen ECCNs, but limit them
to the headings with a cross reference back to the NRC. Under this
alternative, the regulations would not remove the fourteen ECCN
chapeaux within the CCL, but instead would delete the various
subparagraphs of those ECCNs, and for ``List of Items Controlled''
indicate ``refer to NRC at 10 CFR 110.'' Simultaneously (so as to
preclude the scenario described in option 1, above), the commenter
suggested that BIS undertake joint BIS/NRC action to update the NRC
control list to use the standard ECCN format. As noted above,
[[Page 61894]]
BIS has simplified the cross references to these fourteen ECCNs that
were removed in the ECCNs that are retained on the CCL based, in part,
on this comment. However, for the reasons noted above, BIS believes
removing the fourteen ECCNs is the best way to achieve the policy
objectives identified, so BIS does not accept this change.
(B) Changes to the CCL To Conform to the Removal of These Fourteen
ECCNs
In addition to removing the fourteen ECCNs, this final rule also
makes conforming changes to eleven ECCNs that would be retained on the
CCL. The ECCNs that are revised by this rule contain references to one
or more of the fourteen ECCNs that are being removed.
The removal of the fourteen ECCNs should not affect the existing
controls for items subject to the EAR. However, given the relationship
between the fourteen ECCNs removed and the ten ECCNs where conforming
changes were made, BIS noted in the November 29 proposed rule that it
was particularly interested whether the proposed changes accurately
capture the intent of the previous references (i.e., the references to
the fourteen ECCNs that would be removed in the ten ECCNs that are
retained on the CCL). These comments and BIS' responses are discussed
above in this section.
The final rule makes conforming changes to the following eleven
ECCNs: 1A290, 1C107, 1C240, 1C298, 3A225, 3A226, 3A227, 3A233, 3A999,
6A005, and 6A205. This rule's revisions consist of the following:
ECCNs 3A225, 3A226, 3A227, 3A233, 6A005, and 6A205. This final rule
revises seven ECCN headings (1C240, 3A225, 3A226, 3A227, 3A233, 6A005,
and 6A205). This rule takes this approach to minimize the number of
changes that would need to be made, while still ensuring the headings
reflect the intended scope of these six ECCNs.
On the CCL, these seven ECCN headings include references to some of
the fourteen ECCNs that are being removed as a shorthand way of
communicating the scope of items controlled. Therefore, the removal of
fourteen ECCNs requires that a broader description be added to the
headings of these seven ECCNs. In the November 29 rule, BIS indicated
that if only one of the fourteen ECCNs that would be removed is
referenced, then BIS believed that in most cases it is easy to
incorporate the text of the removed ECCN into the heading of the seven
ECCNs. However, there are certain ECCNs that reference one or more of
the fourteen ECCNs that are being removed by this rule. In the cases
where multiple ECCNs are referenced, an effort to insert all the text
into the headings as a conforming change would not be feasible.
However, for other ECCNs, the November 29 rule proposed adding heading
notes, which would provide more space to describe the substance of the
ECCNs that would be removed from the respective headings. After further
review, BIS determined a simpler approach could be taken that is also
more consistent with the existing EAR by simply including text to alert
the public those eleven ECCNs exclude items that are subject to the
export licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (see 10
CFR part 110).
ECCNs 1A290, 1C107 and 1E001. This final rule revises three
``related controls'' paragraphs in ECCNs 1A290, 1C107 and 1E001. These
changes revise references to one or more of the fourteen removed ECCNs
in each of the three remaining ECCNs and replace them with a reference,
in the related controls paragraph, to the NRC regulations. These
changes will reduce the need for cross-referencing in the CCL to the
fourteen removed ECCNs. The November 29 rule proposed to describe the
NRC controls in the related controls paragraph. The November 29 rule
described the approach being adopted as an alternative. BIS welcomed
comments from the public regarding whether this alternate approach of
simply using broad descriptors or some other approach not yet
considered by BIS would be better than what was proposed. After
reviewing the public comments, as discussed above, BIS decided to adopt
this alternate approach consistent with the above described cross
references to the fourteen removed ECCNs in ECCN headings.
ECCN 1E001. This final rule also revises 1E001 by removing the
reference to 1C012 in the License Exception STA paragraph in the
License Exceptions section. This ECCN is subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of another agency. Thus, License Exception STA could never
be used as the authority to export an item described in 1C012. BIS did
not receive any comments on this change, so this change is implemented,
as proposed, in this final rule.
ECCN 1C298. This final rule revises one CCL note in ECCN 1C298 to
remove references to one or more of the fourteen ECCNs that would be
removed by this rule. BIS did not receive any comments on this change,
so this change is implemented, as proposed, in this final rule.
(C) Adding a General Cross Reference to the Fourteen ECCNs That Would
Be Removed
In Sec. 774.1 (Introduction), this final rule redesignates the
introductory text of the section as paragraph (a) with the heading
``Scope of the control list,'' and adds a paragraph (b) with the
heading ``ECCN cross-references for items subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of another agency.'' The introductory text of paragraph
(b) indicates that prior to the date of publication in the Federal
Register of this final rule, the CCL contained fourteen ECCNs that were
included as cross references on the CCL to the export control
regulations administered by the NRC. Paragraph (b) identifies ECCNs
formerly listed on the CCL that were subject to the jurisdiction of the
NRC at 10 CFR part 110. This rule is adding a note to paragraph (b) to
indicate that ECCNs 0D001 and 0E001 (ECCNs that are retained on the
CCL) were subject to the jurisdiction of the NRC at 10 CFR part 110 or
jurisdiction of the DOE at 10 CFR part 810, but also have certain
portions that, as of the date of publication of this rule, were
``subject to the ITAR.'' These ECCNs are retained on the CCL as a cross
reference. For the reasons noted above, BIS will implement these
changes, as proposed, in this final rule.
(5) Revisions to Shipping Tolerances and Removal of All ``Unit''
Paragraphs
BIS in this final rule is revising the way shipping tolerances are
calculated and applied under the EAR. This rule revises Sec. 750.11
(Shipping tolerances) to state that all items are licensed based on
both quantity and value of the items. Quantity will be denominated in
the unit of quantity that is in general commercial usage for the trade
of each item. All licenses will be strictly limited by the quantity
approved on the license and no shipping tolerance will be available to
exceed that quantity. A shipping tolerance of ten percent will be
available on the total approved value for all commodities subject to
the EAR to account for price uncertainty and price inflation over the
four year validity period of the license. Additionally, this rule
removes the ``Unit'' paragraph from the List of Items Controlled
section of every ECCN on the CCL. BIS will no longer differentiate
between items based on unit for the availability of shipping
tolerances, so all commodities will be licensed in the unit of quantity
commonly used in the trade of that good. This final rule also makes
conforming changes to paragraph (d)(2)(iii)(A) of Sec. 738.2 (Commerce
Control List (CCL) structure); Sec. 738.4
[[Page 61895]]
(Determining whether a license is required); Sec. 742.2 (Proliferation
of chemical and biological weapons)(e); paragraph (e)(Quantity) and
(f)(Units) of Supplement No. 1 to Part 748--BIS-748P, BIS-748P-A: Item
Appendix, and BIS-748P-B: End-User Appendix; Multipurpose Application
Instructions;, and paragraphs (c)(1)(ii), (c)(1), (viii) and (f) of
Sec. 750.7 (Issuance of Licenses).
BIS is making these revisions to the EAR as a result of public
comments received in response to the proposed rule and to a notice of
inquiry (NOI), Request for Public Comments on Shipping Tolerances for
Export Licenses Issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS),
that BIS published on July 5, 2012 (77 FR 39679). In the NOI, the
public was requested to provide responses to the following three
issues:
(1) If the current Export Administration Regulations (EAR) shipping
tolerance rules should be maintained or if changes should be made that
facilitate automatic calculation of the remaining license value;
(2) If the EAR shipping tolerance rules were changed, (i) should
BIS continue to exclude certain Export Control Classification Numbers
(ECCNs) from having an allowable shipping tolerance, and (ii) should
the dollar value-based shipping tolerance be set at ten percent to
match the Department of State rules; and
(3) Whether an automatic calculation of the dollar value-based
shipping tolerance in AES (electronic decrementation) would assist
exporters in maintaining compliance with the allowable shipping dollar
value of the license.
BIS received 11 comments in response to the NOI. Most were
supportive of automatic decrementation of the license value. One
commenter noted that quantity is not automatically checked against the
licensed amount under the current DDTC system or the BIS proposal, and
that calculation of quantity overages presents a risk of violations.
Two commenters noted that a single percentage for all commodities would
be simpler and easier to calculate. Additional comments were outside
the scope of the inquiry and addressed AES specific issues.
BIS received one comment in response to the November 29 proposed
rule that related to unit paragraphs. The commenter identified several
unit paragraphs that contained listings for types of items that are not
controlled in that ECCN. This comment and the BIS response was also
discussed above.
Based on the commenters' support for the automatic decrementation
and the desire for a single, simple shipping tolerance threshold across
the EAR, BIS is undertaking this revision of the EAR. Automatic
decrementation can only be calculated on the monetary value of the
shipment, so to simplify and standardize the shipping tolerances, BIS
is allowing shipping tolerances on value for all items. Additionally,
BIS is no longer allowing any shipping tolerance to the quantity
approved in the license. This change requires BIS to revise how
shipping tolerances are calculated and when they are allowed.
Commodities on the CCL are currently assigned a unit of quantity in
the ``Unit'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section of each
ECCN. These units of quantity are number, dollar value, or area, weight
or other measure. The commodities are licensed in this unit of
quantity, meaning that a license for an item denominated in number
authorizes shipments of the commodity until the number has been
reached. For items licensed in number or area, weight or other measure,
the exporter must estimate the per unit cost and the license contains a
total dollar value authorized. For items denominated in value, the
exporter must provide BIS the number in whatever unit of quantity is
common in that trade and the license contains a quantity authorized.
Presently, shipping tolerances are available to allow exporters to
legally exceed the quantity or value on the license in certain
circumstances. Items denominated in number are eligible for a shipping
tolerance of up to twenty-five percent of the value authorized on the
license. Items denominated in area, weight or other measure are
eligible for a shipping tolerance of up to twenty-five percent of the
value and up to ten percent on the quantity authorized on the license.
Items denominated in value are not eligible for any shipping tolerance
on the value or the quantity authorized on the license.
To amend this existing structure, this final rule standardizes the
unit of measure for all items as the number based on the unit of
quantity commonly used in the trade of that good. This means that the
applicant will identify the appropriate unit of quantity on the license
application and the quantity of the commodity to be exported calculated
in that unit of quantity. For the majority of commodities, this unit of
quantity will be the number of individual items, as described in the
ECCN. For example, if an applicant wishes to export integrated circuits
controlled under ECCN 3A001, they will identify the number of
individual integrated circuits they would like BIS to authorize for
export.
Once the unit of quantity and number of items is established, the
applicant will determine the per unit value of the item and will report
that value to BIS. The applicant will then multiply the per unit value
by the number sought to be exported to arrive at the total value of the
license and report that to BIS in the license application. If the
license is granted, the exporter will be limited to both the number and
the value approved on the license.
This eliminates any distinction between commodities regarding the
availability or calculation of shipping tolerances. This rule therefore
also makes shipping tolerances available for all items up to ten
percent of the value authorized on the license. Each license authorized
by BIS will have both a number and a value. If the exporter has shipped
the number of items approved on the license, but has not yet shipped
the total value authorized, the license is exhausted and no more items
may be shipped under that license. If, however, the exporter has
shipped the total value of the license, but has not yet shipped the
total number authorized, the exporter may continue to ship against the
license until the total value shipped reaches 110% of the value
authorized on the license, or the exporter reaches the number of items
authorized on the license, whichever occurs first.
Shipping tolerances on value are allowed to accommodate inflation
of the value of the commodities over the validity period of the
license. BIS has determined that over the four year validity period
that will be applicable to most licenses, a ten percent shipping
tolerance is reasonable to accommodate potential inflation for the
foreseeable future. If a shipping tolerance is not appropriate for a
specific transaction, BIS may stipulate a different shipping tolerance
on the license. It is the responsibility of the exporter to ensure
compliance with all license conditions, including any shipping
tolerance specified on the license.
By standardizing the unit for all items as the number based on the
unit of quantity commonly used in the trade of that commodity, BIS has
also removed the need to identify the unit in each ECCN. Therefore,
this rule eliminated the ``Unit'' paragraph in the List of Items
Controlled section of each ECCN. This will simplify the CCL and
eliminate a point of confusion for many exporters.
Additionally, the removal of all ``unit'' paragraphs removes the
need to make the revisions to the ``unit'' paragraphs that were
described in the November 29 proposed rule. Therefore the proposed
changes to ECCNs 2A292, 2B201, 2B206, 2B209, 2B290, 6A102,
[[Page 61896]]
6A203, 6A225, 6A226, 6A992, 6A994, 6A995, 6C992, 6C994, 9A106, and
9A120 will not be made, as was discussed earlier in the ``parts'' and
``components'' changes discussion of this final rule.
BIS recognizes that for items currently denominated in number, this
rule will reduce the applicable shipping tolerance from twenty-five
percent of the total authorized value to ten percent. To avoid
unsettling exporter expectations on the use of existing authorizations
and avoid confusion, the changes in shipping tolerances will only apply
to licenses granted after this rule becomes effective. In addition,
because a purchase order is not needed in order to apply for a license,
applicants that have a desire or need for an additional tolerance once
this rule becomes effective may simply request an additional quantity
in the original license application. Therefore, BIS believes the impact
on applicants will be minimal, but adopting this simplified shipping
tolerance and removal of the ``Units'' paragraphs will make the CCL
clearer. The changes implemented in the final rule will also be an
important step in moving toward decrementing BIS licenses in AES, which
based on the public comments received in response to the NOI, is
something strongly supported by the public.
(6) Clarifications to the April 16 (Initial Implementation) Rule
BIS is making three clarifications to the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule as a result of questions and comments from the
public that identified unintended or inconsistent policy outcomes after
the publication of the final rule. These changes are in addition to the
conforming changes being made to the April 16, 2013 rule described
above under ``(3) Structural changes to improve the clarity of the
CCL.'' As noted above, the April 16 (initial implementation) rule
revises the CCL by adding a structure and related provisions to control
munitions items that the President has determined no longer warrant
export control on the USML on the CCL, specifically certain aircraft,
gas turbine engines, and related items. The initial implementation rule
was published in conjunction with a Department of State document that
revises the USML so that upon the effective date of both documents
(October 15, 2013), the USML and CCL and corresponding regulatory
structures will be complementary. The Department of Commerce and State
will publish corrections to the April 16 final rules prior to October
15, 2013. The changes described here are minor clarifications to
correct unintended or inconsistent policy outcomes, or to make other
minor clarifications to the April 16 (initial implementation) rule.
BIS conducted a significant amount of outreach to explain the
initial implementation rule, including providing a number of
opportunities for the public to submit questions to BIS about the
changes that will become effective on October 15, 2013. As BIS has
answered these questions, including conducting outreach to other parts
of the U.S. Government and internally within BIS, BIS determined that
there was a need to provide these clarifications to the initial
implementation rule.
(A) Clarification of de Minimis Exclusion for .y ``600 series'' Items
To Ensure Consistent Treatment When Exported or Reexported as Stand-
Alone Items and When Incorporated
The initial implementation rule added a new paragraph (a)(6) to
Section 734.4 (De minimis U.S. content). New paragraph (a)(6) excludes
all ``600 series'' items from de minimis eligibility when destined to a
D:5 Country in Supplement No. 1 to part 740. The ``600 series'' .y
items are controlled for AT1, so these items are subject to a license
requirement for the E:1 countries and for China because of the PRC
military end-use control. The E:1 countries and China are also D:5
countries. Therefore, the exclusion from de minimis eligibility for .y
items for the E:1 countries and China is consistent. The ``600 series''
.y items are subject to a license requirement if exported or reexported
to these countries as discrete items and when incorporated with a
foreign made item because .y items are not eligible for de minimis
because of paragraph (a)(6).
For the other D:5 countries, however, there is an inconsistency,
because ``600 series'' .y items are not subject to a license
requirement when exported or reexported as discrete items. However, if
any .y item is incorporated into a foreign made item, the foreign made
item would become subject to the EAR when reexported or exported from
abroad, because of the paragraph (a)(6) exclusion from de minimis for
all ``600 series'' items for D:5 countries.
To ensure consistent treatment for .y items, this final rule
revises paragraph (a)(6) to add a heading for paragraph (a)(6) (``600
series'') and add new paragraphs (a)(6)(i) and (a)(6)(ii). Paragraph
(a)(6)(i) specifies there is no de minimis level for foreign-made items
that incorporate U.S.-origin ``600 series'' items enumerated or
otherwise described in paragraphs .a through .x of a ``600 series''
ECCN when destined for a country listed in Country Group D:5.
To address the inconsistent treatment of the .y items discussed
above, this final rule adds a new paragraph (a)(6)(ii) to address the
exclusion for ``600 series'' .y items. This new paragraph will specify
there is no de minimis level for foreign-made items that incorporate
U.S.-origin ``600 series'' .y items when destined for a country listed
in Country Group E:1 or for the People's Republic of China (PRC). BIS
decided to take this approach to address the inconsistent treatment
because BIS, in consultation with its interagency partners, previously
concluded that D:5 countries other than China and E:1 countries do not
present a high enough diversion risk to warrant this approach for .y
items, which are not as militarily significant as other ``600 series''
items (as noted in June 21, 2012 (transition) proposed rule).
(B) Removal of Sentence No Longer Needed Because of the de Minimis
Changes Included in the Initial Implementation Rule
In Sec. 740.10 (License Exception Servicing and replacement of
parts and equipment (RPL) in this final rule, BIS is removing the
second sentence of paragraph (b)(2)(ii) because it is not needed in
light of the de minimis changes included in the initial implementation
rule. The second sentence in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) was originally
proposed in the July 15 (framework) rule and was worded in the way it
was because of the 10% de minimis rule that was originally proposed in
that rule. Specifically, the second sentence for the ``600 series'' did
not extend to parts, components, accessories, attachments and
attachments contained in commodities that were made in a foreign
country incorporating authorized U.S.-origin parts, components,
accessories or attachments. However, after subsequent review of the
public comments and further consideration, BIS adopted a simpler de
minimis rule for the ``600 series.'' Because countries listed in D:5
are subject to a 0% de minimis rule for ``600 series'' items, except
for .y items as described above, there is no longer a need for the
second sentence in (b)(2)(ii). Therefore, in this final rule, BIS is
removing the second sentence that was specific to the ``600 series.''
The requirements in (b)(2)(ii) that apply to non-``600 series'' parts,
components, accessories, and attachments will apply to the ``600
series.''
[[Page 61897]]
(C) Clarification of What ECCNs Are Considered Controlled for AT-Only,
for Purposes of ``specially designed''
The April 16 (initial implementation) rule added a new definition
of ``specially designed.'' This final rule adds a sentence to the end
of Note 1 of ``specially designed'' definition to clarify which ECCNs
are controlled for AT-only reasons for purposes of the ``specially
designed'' definition. This sentence lists seventy-three ECCNs, which
are the following ECCNs: 0A999, 1A995, 1A999, 1C990, 1C996, 1C998,
1D993, 1D999, 1E994, 1E998, 2A991, 2A994, 2A999, 2B991, 2B992, 2B993,
2B996, 2B997, 2B998, 2B999, 2D991, 2D992, 2D994, 3A991, 3A992, 3A999,
3B991, 3B992, 3C992, 3D991, 3E991, 4A994, 4D993, 4D994, 4E992, 4E993,
5A991, 5C991, 5D991, 5E991, 5A992, 5D992, 5E992, 6A991, 6A992, 6A993,
6A994, 6A995, 6A996, 6A997, 6A999, 6B995, 6C992, 6C994, 6D992, 6D993,
6E992, 6E993, 7B994, 7D994, 7E994, 8A992, 8D992, 8E992, 9A990, 9A992,
9B990, 9B991, 9D990, 9D991, 9E990, 9E991 and 9E993. ECCNs controlled
for AT-only reasons are ECCNs where the reason for control in the
License Requirements paragraph only includes AT, AT1 or AT2. In
addition to the seventy-three ECCNs that include only an AT reason for
control, there are eleven additional ECCNs on the CCL that are
controlled predominantly for AT reasons on the CCL. These ECCNs
include, in addition to the AT control, an RS control only for Iraq
(0B999, 0D999, 1B999, 1C992, 1C995, 1C997, 1C999); a UN control (0B986
and 9A991); or an RS1 control (6A998.b and 7A994 for the QRS11). These
eleven ECCNs are considered controlled for AT-only ECCNs (excluding for
the RS1 controlled portions of 6A998 and 7A994) for purposes of the
``specially designed'' definition. This is because although they
contain another reason for control, they are controlled predominantly
for AT reasons.
This final rule adds a sentence to the end of Note 1 to identify
these eleven additional ECCNs that are controlled predominantly for AT
reasons are treated as ECCNs controlled only for AT reasons for
purposes of ``specially designed,'' although two exclusions are made
for the portions of ECCNs 6A998 and 7A994 that are controlled for RS1
reasons. The new sentence this final rule adds to Note 1 specifies
ECCNs: 0B986, 0B999, 0D999, 1B999, 1C992, 1C995, 1C997, 1C999, 6A998
(except for .b), 7A994 (except for the QRS11) and 9A991 are treated as
ECCNs controlled only for AT reasons for purposes of ``specially
designed.''
(D) Clarification on the Applicability of Paragraph (b)(3) and (b)(4)
`releases' From ``specially designed'' for ECCNs Controlled for AT-Only
Reasons
This final rule also adds to the ``specially designed'' definition
a new Note to paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4). This new note clarifies
when paragraph (b)(3) and (b)(4) can be used to `release' ``parts,''
``components,'' ``accessories,'' ``attachments,'' or ``software'' for
ECCNs that are controlled for AT-only reasons. Because the `release'
criteria of paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4) use ``controlled for AT-only
reasons,'' the application of these paragraphs for ECCNs controlled for
AT-only reasons that use ``specially designed'' is being clarified. BIS
received two questions from the public on this aspect of the
definition. BIS has provided guidance on how to interpret the
applicability of paragraph (b)(3) and (b)(4) for ECCNs controlled for
AT-only reasons. BIS considered posting guidance on this interpretation
on the BIS Web site, but, for ease of use for the public and to ensure
consistent application of the interpretation, BIS decided it was better
to add this interpretation as a new ``Note to paragraphs (b)(3) and
(b)(4).'' This is not a change in how BIS intended the definition to
apply, but it does make this interpretation explicit for the public.
The new note being added in this final rule specifies that ECCNs
controlled for AT-only reasons that use ``specially designed'' are
eligible for `release' under paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4). However,
this new note clarifies that the criteria for `release' under (b)(3) or
(b)(4) must be met by another ECCN controlled for AT-only reasons or an
EAR99 item in addition to the AT-only ECCN being reviewed for `release'
from ``specially designed.''
The new note being added also includes three examples to assist
understanding. The first two examples highlight when a ``part'' used in
an ECCN controlled for AT-only reasons is eligible for `release.' The
first example states, if a single gasket is used in ECCN 9A990 tractors
(9A990 includes a control on ``specially designed'' ``parts'') and also
pick-up trucks designated as EAR99 that are in ``production,'' the
single gasket would be `released' from ``specially designed'' on the
basis of paragraph (b)(3). The second example being added to the new
note in this final rule states that if the single gasket is or was used
in 9A990 tractors and also 9A991.b aircraft (another AT-only ECCN) that
are in ``production,'' the gasket would be `released' from ``specially
designed'' on the basis of paragraph (b)(3). The newly added note
includes a third example to highlight when paragraph (b)(3) would not
be available by noting that if the single gasket is or was only used in
the ``production'' of ECCN 9A990 tractors that are in ``production,''
then paragraph (b)(3) would not be available. Lastly, the note being
added clarifies that the same concept applies for paragraph (b)(4).
(E) Clarification of the Definition of ``end item'' That Was Added in
the Initial Implementation Final Rule
This final rule is revising the definition of ``end item'' that was
added in Sec. 772.1 (Definitions of terms as used in the EAR) to add
the words ``system'' and ``equipment'' before the phrase ``assembled
commodity.'' This change is not substantive and is limited to
clarifying the intended scope of the definition of ``end item'' as it
relates to the terms ``system'' and ``equipment.''
(F) Clarification of the Definition of ``equipment'' That Was Added in
the Initial Implementation Final Rule
This final rule is revising the definition of ``equipment'' that
was added in Sec. 772.1 to make three clarifications. First, this
final rule clarifies the relationship between ``equipment'' and ``end
items'' and ``systems'' by revising the phrase ``operate together to
perform a function of an end item or system'' to add the phrase ``as,
or for'' after ``of'' so it reads ``operate together to perform a
function of, as, or for an end item or system.'' This change is not
substantive and is limited to clarifying the intended scope of the
definition of ``end item'' as it relates to the terms ``system'' and
``equipment.'' This change specifies a combination of ``parts,''
``components,'' ``accessories,'' ``attachments,'' ``firmware,'' or
``software'' is a system considered ``equipment'' when that combination
of commodities or software: Operate to perform a function ``of'' an end
item or system; operate to perform a function ``as'' an end item or
system; or operate to perform a function ``for'' another end item or
system.
Second, this final rule is revising the definition of ``equipment''
to delete the word ``specialized'' before the word ``function'' because
the word is not needed and has the potential to create ambiguity
regarding what is ``equipment.'' BIS provides guidance here on the
meaning of function to clarify what is intended with the use of the
word function in the ``equipment'' definition. For purposes of the
``equipment'' definition, function means the control criteria specified
in an ECCN entry, which in certain cases is limited
[[Page 61898]]
to the heading, and for those ECCNs that use an ``items'' paragraph,
the function is the control criteria in the respective ``items''
paragraph that enumerates or otherwise describes the ``equipment.'' In
certain cases the specialized function may be described in fairly broad
terms, such as equipment for military end use. In other cases the
control parameters that are included with the term ``equipment'' may be
quite detailed. The ``equipment'' definition includes both of those
types of entries. This guidance on the meaning of function also applies
to the definition of ``system'' discussed below under (G) where the
word ``specialized'' is also being removed for the same reason as in
the ``equipment'' definition.
Third, this final rule is adding two sentences to the end of the
``equipment'' definition. The originally proposed ``equipment''
definition that was included in the proposed July 15 (framework) rule,
stated that ``equipment'' is a subset of ``end items.'' However, this
sentence was not included in the ``equipment'' definition included in
the initial implementation final rule. The relationship between the
broader term ``end item'' and ``equipment'' was discussed in the
Background section of the initial implementation final rule on pages 78
FR 22692 and 22693. However, after further consideration and to address
questions BIS has received on the relationship between these two terms,
BIS has determined a sentence should be added to the ``equipment''
definition to clarify that ``equipment'' may be a subset of ``end
items,'' when it meets the definition of an ``end item,'' ready for use
with only the addition of ammunition, or fuel or energy source required
to place it in an operating state. When ``equipment'' does not meet
this definition, it is categorized as on the definition with which it
does comply. This same type of concept also applies to the definition
of ``system.''
(G) Clarification of the Definition of ``system'' That Was Added in the
Initial Implementation Final Rule
This final rule is revising the definition of ``system,'' which was
added to Sec. 772.1 in the initial implementation final rule, to
delete the word ``specialized'' before the word ``function'' because
the word is not needed and has the potential to create ambiguity
regarding what is a ``system.'' This final rule is also removing the
single quotes around function because the word is not defined in the
``system'' definition. Lastly, this final rule is adding a new Note 1
to the definition to reference industrial standards established by
INCOSE and NASA that provide examples for when commodities and software
operate together to perform a function as a system.
(H) Clarification of the Definition of ``build-to-print technology''
That Was Added in the Initial Implementation Final Rule
This final rule is revising the definition of ``build-to-print
technology,'' which was added to Sec. 772.1 in the initial
implementation final rule, to add the phrase ``any of the following''
in the introductory text of paragraph (1) to clarify the three criteria
in paragraphs (1)(i)-(iii) use the disjunctive ``or.'' The use of
``or'' in paragraph (1) after paragraphs (1)(ii) already states this
requirement, but the addition of the phrase ``any of the following'' in
the introductory text of paragraph (1) will make it easier to
understand. This final rule is also revising the definition to remove
the phrase ``the minimum'' before the term ``necessary'' because it is
not needed and has the potential to cause confusion given necessary is
not a term that is qualified by degree. Technology is either necessary
or not necessary, so there is no need to include the qualifying phrase
``the minimum'' before the term ``technology.''
(I) Initial Implementation Rule Conforming Changes to This Final Rule
As noted above, in this final rule, BIS is also making conforming
changes to the initial implementation rule, which are described under
(3) Structural changes to improve the clarity of the CCL. These changes
are described under heading (3) above because they are easier to
understand when discussed in the context of those structural changes
being made to the other ECCNs (non-``600 series'' ECCNs) on the CCL.
(J) ECCNs 9B610 and 9B619
This final rule revises the Related Controls paragraph in ECCN
9B610 and adds new language to the Related Controls paragraph in ECCN
6B619. The revision to 9B610 adds ``equipment'' to the list of
commodities that are controlled for the aircraft specified under
VIII(h)(1). The new language in 9B619 identifies related controls for
engines specified under XIX(f)(1). The intent is to clarify that all
parts, components, accessories, attachments, and equipment (which
includes development, production, operation, maintenance, inspection
and test equipment) are controlled under the USML in either VIII(h)(1)
or XIX(f)(1) for specified aircraft and engines, respectively. ECCNs
9B610 and 9B619 continue to control the described parts, components,
accessories, attachments, and equipment (which includes development,
production, operation, maintenance, inspection and test equipment) not
specified on the USML.
Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001,
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by Executive Order 13637 of March
8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013) and as extended by the Notice of
August 8, 2013, 78, 2013, 78 FR 49107 (August 12, 2013), has continued
the Export Administration Regulations in effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act. 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.
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, distribute 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 final rule has been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' although not economically significant, under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the rule has been
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA),
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule affects the
following approved collection: Simplified Network Application
Processing System (control number 0694-0088), which includes, among
other things, license applications and carries a burden estimate of
43.8 minutes for a manual or electronic submission. Total burden hours
associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 are expected
to decrease slightly as a result of this rule because of the removal of
ECCN
[[Page 61899]]
8A918 and the clarification of the use of the terms ``parts'' and
``components'' on the CCL. The intent of the clarification of the use
of the terms ``parts'' and ``components'' on the CCL is to maintain the
current scope of controls, although in certain cases this greater
specificity in how these terms are being used may result in a slight
reduction in license applications received for those entries where
``parts'' is not being added and previously the undefined the term
components was used. In the context of these ECCNs, BIS, along with the
other agencies that reviewed this rule, determined the intent is not to
include ``parts.'' However, because previously a small number of
license applications may have been received for commodities that would
meet the ``parts'' definition that was added in the initial
implementation final rule, BIS has determined this may result in a
slight decrease in the number of license applications received.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under E.O. 13132.
4. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq., generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis for any rule subject to the notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. 553) or any other statute, unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Under section 605(b) of the RFA, however, if
the head of an agency certifies that a rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, the statute
does not require the agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility
analysis. Pursuant to section 605(b), the Chief Counsel for Regulation,
Department of Commerce, submitted a memorandum to the Chief Counsel for
Advocacy, Small Business Administration, certifying that the November
29 proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. A summary of the factual basis
for the certification was provided in the November 29 proposed rule and
is not repeated here. BIS did not receive any comments in response to
the proposed rule regarding the economic impact of this rule or to the
certification made by the Chief Counsel. As a result, a final
regulatory flexibility analysis is not required and one was not
prepared.
5. Section 3(D) of this rule adds a ``REPORTING REQUIREMENTS''
paragraph to ECCNs 1C001, 4D001, 7D002, 7D003, 7E001 and 7E002. This
addition to the Export Administration Regulations was not included in
the November 29 proposed rule. The Department finds that there is good
cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act requiring prior notice and the opportunity
for public comment because they are either unnecessary or contrary to
the public interest. This addition alerts exporters that reporting
requirements were imposed on these ECCNs in the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule through the changes to Sec. 743.1 and the
addition of the Wassenaar Arrangement Sensitive and Very Sensitive
Lists as Supplements Nos. 6 and 7 to Part 774. This addition to this
final rule does not create any new reporting requirements. Without the
addition of these Report Requirements paragraphs to the EAR prior to
the October 15, 2013 effective date of the April 16 (initial
implementation) rule, exporters who review these ECCNs will not be
aware of the need to review the revised Sec. 743.1 and the Wassenaar
Arrangement Sensitive and Very Sensitive Lists added as Supplements
Nos. 6 and 7 to Part 774.
6. The revisions to the Export Administration Regulations described
in Section 6 of this rule were not included in the November 29 proposed
rule. The Department finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act
requiring prior notice and the opportunity for public comment because
they are either unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. The
majority of these revisions are non-substantive, only clarifying the
regulations and thus prior notice and the opportunity for public
comment is unnecessary.
The revisions described in Section (6)(A) provide a clarification
that ``600 series'' .y items are available for de minimis treatment
when incorporated into foreign origin items destined for any country
for which a license would not be required for direct shipment from the
United States. In a standard de minimis analysis, only the U.S. origin
content that would require a license for direct shipment from the
United States to the destination of the foreign origin item is included
toward the de minimis percentage. As ``600 series'' .y items do not
require a license to D:5 countries, other than the E:1 countries and
the People's Republic of China, it would be contrary to the EAR to
include the .y items in the calculation of foreign origin items
destined to those countries. Additionally, as all foreign origin items
incorporating more than a de minimis level of ``600 series'' parts and
components are, by definition, military items and controlled in 0A919
with an NS1 and RS1 reason for control, requiring worldwide licensing,
foreign manufacturers will have an incentive to avoid sourcing U.S.
origin .y items when the item would not otherwise exceed de minimis.
Notice and public comment procedure for this revision is contrary to
the public interest. If this revision is not effective on October 15,
2013 simultaneous with the April 16 (initial implementation) rule,
foreign origin military items that incorporate ``600 series'' .y items
will be subject to greater controls than the ``600 series'' .y items
would be for direct shipment from the United States. This inconsistent
result was not intended by BIS and would result in discouraging foreign
manufacturers from sourcing U.S. origin ``600 series'' parts and
components without any positive impact on national security. This would
frustrate a major purpose of the Export Control Reform Initiative.
The revisions described in Section 6(C) correct an oversight in the
term AT-only, as used in the ``specially designed'' definition, to
allow certain ECCNs with additional narrow reasons for control to be
considered within the paragraph (b)(3) release provision. When BIS
published the rule implementing the definition for ``specially
designed,'' BIS did not intend to exclude the eleven ECCNs identified
above which are predominantly controlled only for AT reasons from the
paragraph (b)(3) release in the ``specially designed'' definition.
Excluding these eleven ECCNs from the paragraph (b)(3) release would
cause, for example, parts common to a military aircraft controlled in
ECCN 9A610 and a commercial airliner controlled in ECCN 9A991 to be
``specially designed'' for the military aircraft and therefore
controlled in 9A610.x with an NS1 and RS1 reason for control, requiring
worldwide licensing. In this final rule, BIS amends the language to
correct the inadvertent error. Notice and public comment procedure for
this revision is contrary to the public interest. If this revision is
not effective on October 15, 2013 simultaneous with the April 16
(initial implementation) rule, the paragraph (b)(3) release of the
``specially designed'' definition will not operate as BIS intended and
a significant amount of commercial trade may be subject to ``600
series'' controls.

States Munitions List (see 22 CFR 120.3, 120.6 and 121.1). You may also
submit a request to the Department of State, Directorate of Defense
Trade Controls, for a formal jurisdictional determination regarding the
commodity, software, technology, or activity at issue; or in ITAR
terms, the defense article, technical data or defense service at issue
(see 22 CFR 120.4).

* * * * *
(d) * * *
(2) Reading an ECCN. An ECCN is made up of four sections, the
``Heading,'' ``License Requirements,'' ``License Exceptions,'' and
``List of Items Controlled'' sections. A brief description of each
section and its use follows:
(i) Heading. A description of the items controlled is provided next
to each ECCN. In certain ECCNs, the description is a summary and will
direct you to ``see List of Items Controlled'' for a complete list of
items classified under those respective ECCNs. The ``Items'' paragraph
in the List of Items Controlled section will describe all of the items
that the ECCN controls for the portions of
[[Page 61901]]
the heading that precede the ``see List of Items Controlled'' phrase.
Portions of the heading that follow the phrase are complete
descriptions of the items controlled by that portion of the heading. If
``see List of Items Controlled'' appears at the end of the heading, the
``Items'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section is the
exclusive, complete list of the items the ECCN controls.
* * * * *
(iii) * * *
(C) Items. This paragraph describes the relationship between the
``items'' paragraph and ECCN headings and will assist your
understanding as you classify items on the CCL. When the heading
contains the phrase ``see List of Items Controlled,'' the portion of
the heading preceding that phrase is only a summary of the items
controlled by the ECCN and the ``items'' paragraph contains an
exclusive list of items described in the heading. Paragraphs
(d)(2)(iv)(C)(1), (2) and (3) of this section provide examples of the
three different uses of the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)''
in ECCN headings. Each heading on the CCL uses one of these three
structures. Understanding the relationship between the heading and the
``items'' paragraph is important when classifying items that are
``subject to the EAR'' on the CCL.
(1) ``(See List of Items Controlled)'' is at the end of the ECCN
heading. An example of an ECCN where all of the heading text precedes
the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' is ECCN 8A002 Marine
systems, equipment, ``parts'' and ``components,'' as follows (see List
of Items Controlled). ECCNs 1A001, 3A001, 6A001, 7A004 and 9A012 are
other examples where all of the heading text precedes the phrase ``(see
List of Items Controlled).'' In these types of headings, the items
paragraphs must be reviewed to determine whether your item is contained
within the heading and classified under that ECCN.
(2) ``(See List of Items Controlled)'' is in the middle of the ECCN
heading. If the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' appears in
the middle of the ECCN heading, then all portions of the heading that
follow the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' will list items
controlled in addition to the list in the ``items'' paragraph. An
example of such a heading is ECCN 2B992 Non-``numerically controlled''
machine tools for generating optical quality surfaces, (see List of
Items Controlled) and ``specially designed'' ``parts'' and
``components'' therefor. Under the ECCN 2B992 example, the ``items''
paragraph must be reviewed to determine whether your item is contained
within the first part of the heading (``non-`numerically controlled'
machine tools for generating optical quality surfaces'') and classified
under 2B992. The second part of the ECCN 2B999 heading (``and
`specially designed' `parts' and `components' therefor'') contains the
exclusive list described in the heading. ECCNs 1A006, 3B992, 4A001,
6A006 and 7A001 are other examples where the phrase ``(see List of
Items Controlled)'' appears in the middle of the ECCN heading.
(3) ECCNs that do not use the phrase ``(see List of Items
controlled).'' When all items classified in the ECCN are listed in the
heading, a sentence is generally included in the ``items'' paragraph to
direct you to the heading. An example of such a heading is ECCN 4E980
``Technology'' for the ``development,'' ``production'' or ``use'' of
commodities controlled by 4A980. ECCNs 0A982, 3A292, 5D101, 8D001 and
9A002 are other examples where the heading is the exclusive description
of the items classified under those respective ECCNs.

Under some circumstances, you may use a license issued for the

shown on that license. This additional amount is called a shipping
tolerance. This section tells you, as the licensee, when you may take
advantage of a shipping tolerance and the amount of shipping tolerance
you are permitted to use.
(a) If you have already shipped the full quantity of items approved
on your license, you may not use this shipping tolerance provision. No
further shipment may be made under the license.
(b) If you have not shipped the full quantity of items approved on
the license, the value of all of your shipments under one license, up
to the full quantity approved on the license, may exceed the total
dollar value stated on that license by up to 10%, unless;
(1) Your license stipulates a specific shipping tolerance; or
(2) Your item is controlled for short supply reasons and a
different tolerance has been established. (See part 754 of the EAR).

Sec. 772.1 Definitions of terms as used in the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR).
* * * * *
Build-to-Print technology. (1) This is ``production''
``technology'' that is sufficient for an inherently capable end user to
produce or repair a commodity from engineering drawings without any of
the following:
(i) Revealing ``development'' ``technology,'' such as design
methodology, engineering analysis, detailed process or manufacturing
know-how;
(ii) Revealing the production engineering or process improvement
aspect of the ``technology;'' or
(iii) Requiring assistance from the provider of the technology to
produce or repair the commodity.
(2) Acceptance, test, or inspection criteria pertaining to the
commodity at issue is included within the scope of ``build-to-print
technology'' only if it is necessary to verify that the commodity is
acceptable.
* * * * *
End item. This is a system, equipment or assembled commodity ready
for its intended use. Only ammunition, or fuel or other energy source
is required to place it in an operating state. Examples of end items
include ships, aircraft, computers, firearms, and milling machines.
* * * * *
Equipment. This is a combination of parts, components, accessories,
attachments, firmware, or software that operate together to perform a
function of, as, or for an end item or system. Equipment may be a
subset of ``end items'' based on the characteristics of the equipment.
Equipment that meets the definition of an end-item is an end-item.
Equipment that does not meet the definition of an end-item is a part,
component, accessory, attachment, firmware, or software.
* * * * *
Subject to the ITAR. A term used in the EAR to describe those
commodities, software, technology (e.g., technical data) and defense
services over which the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) exercises regulatory jurisdiction under
the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (see 22 CFR parts
120 through 130).
* * * * *
[[Page 61903]]
Specially designed. * * *
* * * * *
(a) * * *
* * * * *
Note 1: * * * For purposes of ``specially designed,'' ECCNs
0B986, 0B999, 0D999, 1B999, 1C992, 1C995, 1C997, 1C999, 6A998
(except for .b), 7A994 (except for the QRS11) and 9A991 are treated
as ECCNs controlled exclusively for AT reasons.
* * * * *
Note to paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4): ECCNs controlled for AT-
only reasons that use ``specially designed'' are eligible for
paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4). However, the criteria for release
under (b)(3) or (b)(4) must be met by another ECCN controlled for
AT-only reasons or an EAR99 item in addition to the AT-only ECCN
being reviewed for release from ``specially designed.'' For example,
if a single gasket is used in ECCN 9A990 tractors (9A990 includes a
control on ``specially designed'' ``parts'') and also pick-up trucks
designated as EAR99 that are in ``production'', the single gasket
would be released from ``specially designed'' on the basis of
paragraph (b)(3). Or if the single gasket is or was used in 9A990
tractors and also 9A991.b aircraft (another AT-only controlled
ECCN), that are in ``production,'' the gasket would be released from
``specially designed'' on the basis of paragraph (b)(3).
Alternatively, if the single gasket is or was only used in ECCN
9A990 tractors that are in ``production,'' then paragraph (b)(3)
would not be available. This same concept applies for paragraph
(b)(4).
* * * * *
System. This is any combination of ``end items,'' ``equipment,''
``parts,'' ``components,'' ``accessories,'' ``attachments,'' firmware,
or ``software'' that operate together to perform a function.
Note: The industrial standards established by INCOSE and NASA
provide examples for when commodities and software operate together
to perform a function as a system. References to these standards are
included in this note to provide additional examples for when
commodities or software operate together to perform a function as a
system. See the INCOSE standards for what constitutes a system at
(https://g2sebok.incose.org/app/mss/asset.cfm?ID=INCOSE%20G2SEBOK%202.00&ST=F), and in the (INCOSE SE
Handbook v3.1 2007; ISO/IEC 15288:2008). Also see the NASA standards
for examples of what constitutes a system in the (NASA SE Handbook
SP-2007-6105 Rev 1).

21. Revise Sec. 774.1 to read as follows:
Sec. 774.1 Introduction.
(a) Scope of the control list. In this part, references to the EAR
are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. The Bureau of
Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL)
that includes ``items''--i.e., ``commodities,'' ``software,'' and
``technology''--subject to the authority of BIS. The CCL does not
include items exclusively controlled for export by another department
or agency of the U.S. Government, though in instances where other
agencies administer controls over related items, entries in the CCL may
contain a reference to such controls. In addition, those items
``subject to the EAR'' but not identified on the CCL are identified by
the designator ``EAR99.'' See Sec. 734.2(a) of the EAR for items that
are ``subject to the EAR.'' EAR Part 738 contains an explanation of the
organization of the CCL and its relationship to the Country Chart.
(b) ECCN cross-references for items subject to exclusive
jurisdiction of another agency. (1) Prior to October 15, 2013, the CCL
contained certain ECCNs that were only included as cross references to
items subject to the export control regulations administered by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
(2) ECCNs formerly listed on the CCL that, as of October 15, 2013
were subject to the export licensing authority of the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission at 10 CFR part 110 are: 0A001, 0B001, 0B002,
0B003, 0B004, 0B005, 0B006, 0C001, 0C002, 0C004, 0C005, 0C006, 0C201
and 1C012.
(3) Multilateral export control regime references are provided, as
an additional point of historical reference.
Note to paragraph (b): As of October 15, 2013 ECCN 0D001 is
subject to the export licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (see 10 CFR part 110), and ECCN 0E001 is subject to the
export licensing authority of the Department of Energy (see 10 CFR
part 810), but certain portions of these entries are also ``subject
to the ITAR'' (see 22 CFR parts 120 through 130). These ECCNs are
retained on the CCL as a cross reference.
(c) Where to find the CCL? The CCL is contained in Supplement No. 1
to this part, and Supplement No. 2 to this part contains the General
Technology and Software Notes relevant to entries contained in the CCL.
(d) Conventions related to the use of quotation marks on the CCL.
The use of double quotation marks on the CCL is intended to be an aid
to alert you to terms used on the CCL that are defined in part 772
(Definitions of Terms), or for purposes of ECCNs, where a definition is
provided in the ``related definitions'' paragraph in the License
Requirements section of ECCNs or sometimes in Notes and Technical Notes
for particular ECCNs and that definition is specific to that particular
ECCN. In this sense the quotes are helpful both in the use of single
and double quotes, but a good compliance practice is to familiarize
yourself with the defined terms in part 772, and when reviewing a
control parameter on the CCL that uses a term that is not in quotes to
be aware it may be defined in part 772. It is also a useful compliance
practice to review the ``Related Definitions'' paragraph and Notes and
Technical Notes to determine if the term is defined for purposes of a
particular ECCN.
(1) Use of double quotes. If a term on the CCL uses double quotes
it means there is a defined term in part 772. However, the absence of
double quotes does not mean that a term used on the CCL is not defined
in part 772. Because the CCL includes many terms that are defined in
part 772, BIS's practice is to use double quotes for certain key terms
and to use double quotes when needed for consistency with multilateral
export control regime based entries, such as many derived from control
lists, in particular for the Wassenaar Arrangement that also uses the
double quotes convention. However, because of the large number of
defined terms used on the CCL and a desire to avoid hindering
readability by placing quotes around too many words used in particular
ECCNs, BIS's practice is to not add double quotes around certain terms,
such as items and commodities. This convention also applies to the use
of double quotes within the Definition of Terms section under part 772.
(2) Use of single quotes. The CCL also includes a convention
regarding the use of single quotes. Single quotes on the CCL identify a
term as a defined term in the context of a particular ECCN. This
convention also applies to the use of single quotes within the
Definition of Terms section under part 772.
