ACTION: Final rule.
In this rule, the Bureau of
Industry and Security (BIS) amends the
Export Administration Regulations
(EAR) to revise the existing Validated
End-User (VEU) list for the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) by updating the
list of eligible destinations (facilities) for

(BTC). Specifically, BIS amends
supplement No. 7 to part 748 of the EAR
to change the written address of BTC’s
existing facility. The physical location
of the facility has not changed. BIS
updated the facility address after
receiving notification of the change from
BTC. The End-User Review Committee
reviewed and authorized the
amendment in accordance with
established procedures. The updated
address contributes to maintaining
accurate location information for BTC’s
VEU.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Authorization Validated End-User
Validated End-Users (VEUs) are
designated entities located in eligible
destinations to which eligible items may
be exported, reexported, or transferred
(in-country) under a general
authorization instead of a license. The
names of the VEUs, as well as the dates
they were so designated, and their
respective eligible destinations
(facilities) and items are identified in
supplement No. 7 to part 748 of the
EAR. Under the terms described in that
supplement, VEUs may obtain eligible
items without an export license from
BIS, in conformity with § 748.15 of the
EAR. Eligible items vary between VEUs
and may include commodities, software,
and technology, except those controlled
for missile technology or crime control
reasons on the Commerce Control List
(CCL) (part 774 of the EAR).
VEUs are reviewed and approved by
the U.S. Government in accordance with
the provisions of § 748.15 and
supplement Nos. 8 and 9 to part 748 of
the EAR. The End-User Review
Committee (ERC), composed of
representatives from the Departments of
State, Defense, Energy, Commerce, and
other agencies as appropriate, is
responsible for administering the VEU
program. BIS amended the EAR in a
final rule published on June 19, 2007
(72 FR 33646), to create Authorization
VEU.

Revision to the List of ‘‘Eligible
Destinations’’ for BTC
In this rule, BIS amends supplement
No. 7 to part 748 to revise BTC’s VEU
authorization. Specifically, in this rule,
BIS updates the written address of
BTC’s facility in the People’s Republic
of China to which the company’s
eligible items may be exported,
reexported or transferred (in-country).
The physical location of the facility has
not changed.
The amendment to the address of
BTC’s facility is in response to a request
from BTC. This amendment was
approved by the ERC. The revision is as

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 4,
2016, 81 FR 52587 (August 8, 2016), 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.
ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
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,
reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and
promoting flexibility. This rule has been
determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
2. This rule involves collections
previously approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
Control Number 0694–0088, ‘‘MultiPurpose Application,’’ which carries a
burden hour estimate of 43.8 minutes to
prepare and submit form BIS–748; and
for recordkeeping, reporting and review
requirements in connection with
Authorization VEU, which carries an
estimated burden of 30 minutes per
submission. This rule is expected to
result in a decrease in license
applications submitted to BIS. Total
burden hours associated with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA) and OMB
Control Number 0694–0088 are not
expected to increase significantly as a
result of this rule. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of law, no person is
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:06 Sep 02, 2016
Jkt 238001
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 PRA, unless that
collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number.
3. This rule does not contain policies
with Federalism implications as that
term is defined under Executive Order
13132.
4. Pursuant to the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), BIS finds good cause to waive
the otherwise applicable requirement
that this rule be subject to notice and
the opportunity for public comment
because it is unnecessary. In
determining whether to grant VEU
designations, a committee of U.S.
Government agencies evaluates
information about and commitments
made by candidate companies, the
nature and terms of which are set forth
in 15 CFR part 748, supplement No. 8.
The criteria for evaluation by the
committee are set forth in 15 CFR
748.15(a)(2). The information,
commitments, and criteria for this
extensive review were all established
through the notice of proposed
rulemaking and public comment
process (71 FR 38313 (July 6, 2006)
(proposed rule), and 72 FR 33646 (June
19, 2007) (final rule)). Given the
similarities between the authorizations
provided under the VEU program and
export licenses (as discussed further
below), the publication of this
information does not establish new
policy. In publishing this final rule, BIS
amends the authorization for an existing
eligible VEU to update the address of
the eligible destination (facility). This
change has been made within the
established regulatory framework of the
VEU program. Further, this rule does
not abridge the rights of the public or
eliminate the public’s option to export
under any of the forms of authorization
set forth in the EAR.
Publication of this rule in other than
final form is unnecessary because the
authorizations granted in the rule are
consistent with the authorizations
granted to exporters for individual
licenses (and amendments or revisions
thereof), which do not undergo public
review. In addition, as with license
applications, VEU authorization
applications contain confidential
business information, which is
necessary for the extensive review
conducted by the U.S. Government in
assessing such applications. This
information is extensively reviewed
according to the criteria for VEU
authorizations, as set out in 15 CFR
748.15(a)(2). Additionally, just as
license applications are reviewed
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
61105
through an interagency review process,
the authorizations granted under the
VEU program involve interagency
deliberation and result from review of
public and non-public sources,
including licensing data, and the
measurement of such information
against the VEU authorization criteria.
Given the nature of the review, and in
light of the parallels between the VEU
application review process and the
review of license applications, public
comment on this authorization and
subsequent amendments prior to
publication is unnecessary. Moreover,
because, as noted above, the criteria and
process for authorizing and
administering VEUs were developed
with public comments, allowing
additional public comment on this
amendment to individual VEU
authorizations, which was determined
according to those criteria, is
unnecessary.
Section 553(d) of the APA generally
provides that rules may not take effect
earlier than thirty (30) days after they
are published in the Federal Register.
However, BIS finds good cause to waive
the 30-day delay in effectiveness for this
rule pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)
because the delay would be contrary to
the public interest. BIS is simply
amending the authorization of an
existing VEU to update the address of
the eligible destination (facility). BIS
amends the EAR in this rule consistent
with established objectives and
parameters administered and enforced
by the responsible designated
departmental representatives to the EndUser Review Committee. Delaying this
action’s effectiveness would likely cause
confusion regarding which items are
authorized by the U.S. Government to
be shipped to which eligible destination
(facility), which would stifle the
purpose of the VEU Program.
Accordingly, it is contrary to the public
interest to delay this rule’s effectiveness.
No other law requires that a notice of
proposed rulemaking and an
opportunity for public comment be
given for this final rule. Because a
notice of proposed rulemaking and an
opportunity for public comment are not
required under the APA or by any other
law, the analytical requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.) are not applicable. As a result,
no final regulatory flexibility analysis is
required and none has been prepared.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Authorization Validated End-User
Validated End-Users (VEUs) are designated entities located in
eligible destinations to which eligible items may be exported,
reexported, or transferred (in-country) under a general authorization
instead of a license. The names of the VEUs, as well as the dates they
were so designated, and their respective eligible destinations
(facilities) and items are identified in supplement No. 7 to part 748
of the EAR. Under the terms described in that supplement, VEUs may
obtain eligible items without an export license from BIS, in conformity
with Sec. 748.15 of the EAR. Eligible items vary between VEUs and may
include commodities, software, and technology, except those controlled
for missile technology or crime control reasons on the Commerce Control
List (CCL) (part 774 of the EAR).
VEUs are reviewed and approved by the U.S. Government in accordance
with the provisions of Sec. 748.15 and supplement Nos. 8 and 9 to part
748 of the EAR. The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of
representatives from the Departments of State, Defense, Energy,
Commerce, and other agencies as appropriate, is responsible for
administering the VEU program. BIS amended the EAR in a final rule
published on June 19, 2007 (72 FR 33646), to create Authorization VEU.

Co. Ltd. (BTC) in the People's Republic of China
Revision to the List of ``Eligible Destinations'' for BTC
In this rule, BIS amends supplement No. 7 to part 748 to revise
BTC's VEU authorization. Specifically, in this rule, BIS updates the
written address of BTC's facility in the People's Republic of China to
which the company's eligible items may be exported, reexported or
transferred (in-country). The physical location of the facility has not
changed.
The amendment to the address of BTC's facility is in response to a
request from BTC. This amendment was approved by the ERC. The revision
is as follows:

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 4, 2016, 81 FR 52587 (August 8, 2016), 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, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility.
This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of
Executive Order 12866.
2. This rule involves collections previously approved by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) under Control Number 0694-0088, ``Multi-
Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour estimate of 43.8
minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748; and for recordkeeping,
reporting and review requirements in connection with Authorization VEU,
which carries an estimated burden of 30 minutes per submission. This
rule is expected to result in a decrease in license applications
submitted to BIS. Total burden hours associated with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA) and OMB Control
Number 0694-0088 are not expected to increase significantly as a result
of this rule. Notwithstanding any other provisions 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 PRA, unless that collection of information displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
4. Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), BIS finds good cause to waive the otherwise applicable
requirement that this rule be subject to notice and the opportunity for
public comment because it is unnecessary. In determining whether to
grant VEU designations, a committee of U.S. Government agencies
evaluates information about and commitments made by candidate
companies, the nature and terms of which are set forth in 15 CFR part
748, supplement No. 8. The criteria for evaluation by the committee are
set forth in 15 CFR 748.15(a)(2). The information, commitments, and
criteria for this extensive review were all established through the
notice of proposed rulemaking and public comment process (71 FR 38313
(July 6, 2006) (proposed rule), and 72 FR 33646 (June 19, 2007) (final
rule)). Given the similarities between the authorizations provided
under the VEU program and export licenses (as discussed further below),
the publication of this information does not establish new policy. In
publishing this final rule, BIS amends the authorization for an
existing eligible VEU to update the address of the eligible destination
(facility). This change has been made within the established regulatory
framework of the VEU program. Further, this rule does not abridge the
rights of the public or eliminate the public's option to export under
any of the forms of authorization set forth in the EAR.
Publication of this rule in other than final form is unnecessary
because the authorizations granted in the rule are consistent with the
authorizations granted to exporters for individual licenses (and
amendments or revisions thereof), which do not undergo public review.
In addition, as with license applications, VEU authorization
applications contain confidential business information, which is
necessary for the extensive review conducted by the U.S. Government in
assessing such applications. This information is extensively reviewed
according to the criteria for VEU authorizations, as set out in 15 CFR
748.15(a)(2). Additionally, just as license applications are reviewed
through an interagency review process, the authorizations granted under
the VEU program involve interagency deliberation and result from review
of public and non-public sources, including licensing data, and the
measurement of such information against the VEU authorization criteria.
Given the nature of the review, and in light of the parallels between
the VEU application review process and the review of license
applications, public comment on this authorization and subsequent
amendments prior to publication is unnecessary. Moreover, because, as
noted above, the criteria and process for authorizing and administering
VEUs were developed with public comments, allowing additional public
comment on this amendment to individual VEU authorizations, which was
determined according to those criteria, is unnecessary.
Section 553(d) of the APA generally provides that rules may not
take effect earlier than thirty (30) days after they are published in
the Federal Register. However, BIS finds good cause to waive the 30-day
delay in effectiveness for this rule pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)
because the delay would be contrary to the public interest. BIS is
simply amending the authorization of an existing VEU to update the
address of the eligible destination (facility). BIS amends the EAR in
this rule consistent with established objectives and parameters
administered and enforced by the responsible designated departmental
representatives to the End-User Review Committee. Delaying this
action's effectiveness would likely cause confusion regarding which
items are authorized by the U.S. Government to be shipped to which
eligible destination (facility), which would stifle the purpose of the
VEU Program. Accordingly, it is contrary to the public interest to
delay this rule's effectiveness.
No other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an
opportunity for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a
notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are
not required under the APA or by any other law, the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
are not applicable. As a result, no final regulatory flexibility
analysis is required and none has been prepared.
