Addition of Certain Person to the
Entity List
Bureau of Industry and
Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
In this rule, the Bureau of
Industry and Security (BIS) amends the
Export Administration Regulations
(EAR) by adding one person to the
Entity List. The person who is added to
the Entity List is located in Ecuador and
has been determined by the U.S.
Government to be acting contrary to the
national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States. This
person will be listed on the Entity List
under the destination of Ecuador.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is
effective June 4, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The Entity List notifies the public
about entities that have engaged in
activities that could result in an
C:\SHEILA\04JNR1.SGM
04JNR1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 107 / Thursday, June 4, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
increased risk of the diversion of
exported, reexported or transferred (incountry) items to weapons of mass
destruction (WMD) programs. Since its
initial publication, grounds for
inclusion on the Entity List have
expanded to include activities
sanctioned by the State Department and
activities contrary to U.S. national
security or foreign policy interests.
Certain exports, reexports, and transfers
(in-country) to entities identified on the
Entity List require licenses from BIS and
are usually subject to a policy of denial.
The availability of license exceptions in
such transactions is very limited. The
license review policy for each entity is
identified in the license review policy
column on the Entity List and the
availability of license exceptions is
noted in the Federal Register notices
adding persons to the Entity List. BIS
places entities on the Entity List based
on certain sections of part 744 (Control
Policy: End-User and End-Use Based)
and part 746 (Embargoes and Other
Special Controls) of the EAR.
The End-User Review Committee
(ERC), composed of representatives of
the Departments of Commerce (Chair),
State, Defense, Energy and, where
appropriate, the Treasury, makes all
decisions regarding additions to,
removals from, or other modifications to
the Entity List. The ERC makes all
decisions to add an entry to the Entity
List by majority vote and all decisions
to remove or modify an entry by
unanimous vote. This rule implements
a decision of the Advisory Committee
on Export Policy (ACEP), which the ERC
has deemed to also be the decision of
the ERC in this matter, to approve this
change to the Entity List.

ERC Entity List Decision
Addition to the Entity List
Under § 744.11(b) (Criteria for
revising the Entity List) of the EAR,
persons for whom there is reasonable
cause to believe, based on specific and
articulable facts, have been involved,
are involved, or pose a significant risk
of being or becoming involved in,
activities that are contrary to the
national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States and those
acting on behalf of such persons may be
added to the Entity List. The person
being added to the Entity List has been
determined to be involved in activities
that are contrary to the national security
or foreign policy interests of the United
States. Paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5)
of § 744.11 include an illustrative list of
activities that could be contrary to the
national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States.

Jkt 235001
The Departments represented on the
ERC, by way of a decision of the ACEP,
which the ERC has deemed to also be
the decision of the ERC in this matter,
determined that the person being added
to the Entity List under the destination
of Ecuador has been involved in
activities contrary to the national
security and foreign policy interests of
the United States. There is reasonable
cause to believe that the Corporacion
Nacional de Telecommunicaciones
(CNT), the state-owned
telecommunications utility in Ecuador,
has been involved, is involved, or poses
a significant risk of being or becoming
involved in, activities that are contrary
to the foreign policy interests of the
United States as defined in § 744.11(b)
of the EAR.
Pursuant to § 744.11(b) of the EAR,
the Departments represented on the ERC
by way of a decision of the ACEP, which
the ERC has deemed to also be the
decision of the ERC in this matter,
determined that the conduct of this
person raises sufficient concern that
prior review of exports, reexports, or
transfers (in-country) of items subject to
the EAR involving this person, and the
possible imposition of license
conditions or license denials on
shipments to the person, will enhance
BIS’s ability to prevent violations of the
EAR.
For the one person added to the Entity
List, BIS imposes a license requirement
for any transaction in which items
classified under Export Control
Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 5D002
or 5A002 are to be exported, reexported,
or transferred (in-country) to this person
or in which such person acts as
purchaser, intermediate consignee,
ultimate consignee, or end-user. The
license review policy will be case-bycase review. In addition, no license
exceptions are available for exports,
reexports, or transfers (in-country) to the
person being added to the Entity List in
this rule for items classified under
ECCNs 5D002 or 5A002.
This final rule adds the following
person to the Entity List:
Ecuador
(1) Corporacion Nacional de
Telecommunicaciones (CNT),
Avenida Gaspar de Villaroel Quito,
Ecuador; and Avda. Veintimilla, Suite
1149 y Amazonas, Edificio Estudio Z,
Quito, Ecuador.
Savings Clause
Shipments of items removed from
eligibility for a License Exception or
export or reexport without a license
(NLR) as a result of this regulatory
action that were en route aboard a

carrier to a port of export or reexport, on
June 4, 2015, pursuant to actual orders
for export or reexport to a foreign
destination, may proceed to that
destination under the previous
eligibility for a License Exception or
export or reexport without a license
(NLR).
Export Administration Act
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 7,
2014, 79 FR 46959 (August 11, 2014),
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 as amended
by Executive Order 13637.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866
direct agencies to assess all costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). Executive Order 13563
emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of
reducing costs, of harmonizing rules,
and of promoting flexibility. This rule
has been determined to be not
significant for purposes of Executive
Order 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, no person is required
to respond to nor be subject to a penalty
for failure to comply with a collection
of information, subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Control Number. This regulation
involves collections previously
approved by OMB under control
number 0694–0088, Simplified Network
Application Processing System, 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 not
expected to increase as a result of this
C:\SHEILA\04JNR1.SGM
04JNR1
31836
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 107 / Thursday, June 4, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
rule. You may send comments regarding
the collection of information associated
with this rule, including suggestions for
reducing the burden, to Jasmeet K.
Seehra, Office of Management and
Budget (OMB), by email to Jasmeet_K._
Seehra@omb.eop.gov, or by fax to (202)
395–7285.
3. This rule does not contain policies
with Federalism implications as that
term is defined in Executive Order
13132.
4. The provisions of the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed
rulemaking, the opportunity for public
comment and a delay in effective date
are inapplicable because this regulation
involves a military or foreign affairs
function of the United States. (See 5
U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS implements this
rule to protect U.S. national security or
foreign policy interests by preventing
items from being exported, reexported,
or transferred (in country) to the person
being added to the Entity List. If this
rule were delayed to allow for notice
and comment and a delay in effective
date, then the entity being added to the
Entity List by this action would
continue to be able to receive items
without a license and to conduct
activities contrary to the national
Country
security or foreign policy interests of the
United States. In addition, publishing a
proposed rule would give this party
notice of the U.S. Government’s
intention to place them on the Entity
List and would create an incentive for
this person to either accelerate receiving
items subject to the EAR to conduct
activities that are contrary to the
national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States, and/or to
take steps to set up additional aliases,
change addresses, and other measures to
try to limit the impact of the listing on
the Entity List once a final rule was
published. Further, no other law
requires that a notice of proposed
rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment be given for this rule.
Because a notice of proposed
rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be
given for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 553, or
by any other law, the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., are
not applicable. Accordingly, no
regulatory flexibility analysis is required
and none has been prepared.

the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding one person to the
Entity List. The person who is added to the Entity List is located in
Ecuador and has been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Entity List notifies the public about entities that have
engaged in activities that could result in an
[[Page 31835]]
increased risk of the diversion of exported, reexported or transferred
(in-country) items to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs. Since
its initial publication, grounds for inclusion on the Entity List have
expanded to include activities sanctioned by the State Department and
activities contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy
interests. Certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to
entities identified on the Entity List require licenses from BIS and
are usually subject to a policy of denial. The availability of license
exceptions in such transactions is very limited. The license review
policy for each entity is identified in the license review policy
column on the Entity List and the availability of license exceptions is
noted in the Federal Register notices adding persons to the Entity
List. BIS places entities on the Entity List based on certain sections
of part 744 (Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) and part 746
(Embargoes and Other Special Controls) of the EAR.
The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of
the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where
appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions regarding additions to,
removals from, or other modifications to the Entity List. The ERC makes
all decisions to add an entry to the Entity List by majority vote and
all decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote. This rule
implements a decision of the Advisory Committee on Export Policy
(ACEP), which the ERC has deemed to also be the decision of the ERC in
this matter, to approve this change to the Entity List.
ERC Entity List Decision
Addition to the Entity List
Under Sec. 744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity List) of
the EAR, persons for whom there is reasonable cause to believe, based
on specific and articulable facts, have been involved, are involved, or
pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in, activities
that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests
of the United States and those acting on behalf of such persons may be
added to the Entity List. The person being added to the Entity List has
been determined to be involved in activities that are contrary to the
national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.
Paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of Sec. 744.11 include an
illustrative list of activities that could be contrary to the national
security or foreign policy interests of the United States.
The Departments represented on the ERC, by way of a decision of the
ACEP, which the ERC has deemed to also be the decision of the ERC in
this matter, determined that the person being added to the Entity List
under the destination of Ecuador has been involved in activities
contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the
United States. There is reasonable cause to believe that the
Corporacion Nacional de Telecommunicaciones (CNT), the state-owned
telecommunications utility in Ecuador, has been involved, is involved,
or poses a significant risk of being or becoming involved in,
activities that are contrary to the foreign policy interests of the
United States as defined in Sec. 744.11(b) of the EAR.
Pursuant to Sec. 744.11(b) of the EAR, the Departments represented
on the ERC by way of a decision of the ACEP, which the ERC has deemed
to also be the decision of the ERC in this matter, determined that the
conduct of this person raises sufficient concern that prior review of
exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of items subject to the
EAR involving this person, and the possible imposition of license
conditions or license denials on shipments to the person, will enhance
BIS's ability to prevent violations of the EAR.
For the one person added to the Entity List, BIS imposes a license
requirement for any transaction in which items classified under Export
Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 5D002 or 5A002 are to be
exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) to this person or in
which such person acts as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate
consignee, or end-user. The license review policy will be case-by-case
review. In addition, no license exceptions are available for exports,
reexports, or transfers (in-country) to the person being added to the
Entity List in this rule for items classified under ECCNs 5D002 or
5A002.
This final rule adds the following person to the Entity List:
Ecuador
(1) Corporacion Nacional de Telecommunicaciones (CNT), Avenida Gaspar
de Villaroel Quito, Ecuador; and Avda. Veintimilla, Suite 1149 y
Amazonas, Edificio Estudio Z, Quito, Ecuador.
Savings Clause
Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception
or export or reexport without a license (NLR) as a result of this
regulatory action that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of
export or reexport, on June 4, 2015, pursuant to actual orders for
export or reexport to a foreign destination, may proceed to that
destination under the previous eligibility for a License Exception or
export or reexport without a license (NLR).
Export Administration Act
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 7, 2014, 79 FR 46959 (August 11, 2014), 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 as amended by Executive Order
13637.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA),
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This regulation involves
collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088,
Simplified Network Application Processing System, 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 not
expected to increase as a result of this
[[Page 31836]]
rule. You may send comments regarding the collection of information
associated with this rule, including suggestions for reducing the
burden, to Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by
email to Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.eop.gov, or by fax to (202) 395-7285.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for
public comment and a delay in effective date are inapplicable because
this regulation involves a military or foreign affairs function of the
United States. (See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS implements this rule to
protect U.S. national security or foreign policy interests by
preventing items from being exported, reexported, or transferred (in
country) to the person being added to the Entity List. If this rule
were delayed to allow for notice and comment and a delay in effective
date, then the entity being added to the Entity List by this action
would continue to be able to receive items without a license and to
conduct activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States. In addition, publishing a proposed rule
would give this party notice of the U.S. Government's intention to
place them on the Entity List and would create an incentive for this
person to either accelerate receiving items subject to the EAR to
conduct activities that are contrary to the national security or
foreign policy interests of the United States, and/or to take steps to
set up additional aliases, change addresses, and other measures to try
to limit the impact of the listing on the Entity List once a final rule
was published. Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed
rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this
rule. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C.
553, or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., are not applicable. Accordingly,
no regulatory flexibility analysis is required and none has been
prepared.
