SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES SUMMARY: Background The Entity List (15 CFR, Subchapter C, part 744, Supplement No. 4) identifies entities reasonably believed to be involved, or to pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved, in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR, Subchapter C, parts 730–774) imposes additional license requirements on, and limits the availability of most license exceptions for, exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to listed entities. The license review policy for each listed entity is identified in the ‘‘License review policy’’ column on the Entity List, and the impact on the availability of license exceptions is VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:04 Sep 25, 2018 Jkt 244001 described in the relevant Federal Register notice adding entities to the Entity List. BIS places entities on the Entity List pursuant to 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 makes all decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote. ERC Entity List Decisions Additions to the Entity List This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add fourteen entities to the Entity List. The addition of these fourteen entities involves sixteen Entity List entries, as one of the entities being added has locations in three destinations. The fourteen entities are being added based on § 744.11 (License requirements that apply to entities acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States) of the EAR. The sixteen entries consist of two entries located in Belarus, one entry located in Iran, twelve entries located in Russia and one entry located in Singapore. The ERC reviewed § 744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity List) in making the determination to add these fourteen entities to the Entity List. Under that paragraph, persons for whom there is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that they 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, along with those acting on behalf of such persons, may be added to the Entity List. Paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of § 744.11 provide an illustrative list of activities that could be contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. For each of the fourteen entities described below, the ERC made the requisite determination under the standard set forth in § 744.11(b). Pursuant to § 744.11(b) of the EAR, the ERC determined that Nilco Group, located in Belarus, Iran, and Russia, and Mohammad Najafi, located in Belarus, be added to the Entity List based on PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 their involvement in providing material support to Iranian missile programs. The ERC also determined that four commercial companies—Joint Stock Company Scientific-Research Institute ‘‘Vektor’’, Open Joint Stock Company Information Technology and Communication Systems, Federal State Unitary Enterprise Scientific Production Enterprise ‘‘GAMMA’’, and Syrus Systems—located in Russia be added to the Entity List. These entities have enabled the activities of malicious Russian cyber actors. In addition, the ERC determined that two entities, Divetechnoservices and Oceanos, be added to the Entity List under the destination of Russia for providing equipment and support to the Russian Navy. The ERC also determined that five entities—AeroComposit; Obinsk Research and Production Enterprise (ORPE), Open Joint Stock Company Aviadvigatel, Open Joint Stock Company Scientific and Production Corporation of Precision Instruments Engineering (NPK–SPP), and Voronezh Scientific Research Institute ‘‘Vega’’—be added to the Entity List for supporting Russian military aerospace production activities. Under the destination of Singapore, the ERC determined that one entity, All Industrial Manufacturing (AIM) Pte Ltd., be added to the Entity List based on its involvement in the proliferation of unsafeguarded nuclear activities. Pursuant to § 744.11(b) of the EAR, the ERC determined that the conduct of these fourteen entities raises sufficient concern that prior review of exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) of all items subject to the EAR involving these entities, and the possible imposition of license conditions or license denials on shipments to the persons, will enhance BIS’s ability to prevent violations of the EAR. For thirteen of the fourteen entities described above that are being added to the Entity List, BIS imposes a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR and a license review policy of presumption of denial. For All Industrial Manufacturing (AIM) Pte Ltd, the entity added under Singapore, BIS imposes a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR and will exercise the license review policy set forth in subpart (d) of EAR § 744.2, a nuclear end-user and end-use based provision. For all fourteen entities, the license requirements apply to any transaction in which items are to be exported, reexported, or transferred (incountry) to any of the entities or in which such entities act as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end-user. In addition, no E:\FR\FM\26SER1.SGM 26SER1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 187 / Wednesday, September 26, 2018 / Rules and Regulations license exceptions are available for exports, reexports, or transfers (incountry) to the entities being added to the Entity List in this rule. The acronym ‘‘a.k.a.’’ (also known as) is used in entries on the Entity List to identify aliases, thereby assisting exporters, reexporters and transferors in identifying entities on the Entity List. This final rule adds the following fourteen entities to the Entity List, including one entity listed under three entries: Belarus (1) Mohammad Ghassem Najafi, Unit 705, No. 103, Potbediteley Ave., Minsk, Belarus; and (2) Nilco Group, a.k.a., the following one alias: —Nilfam Khazar Co.

Modifications to the Entity List This final rule implements the decision of the ERC to modify one existing entry, AdCom Systems, which was added to the Entity List under the destination of the United Arab Emirates on March 21, 2016 (81 FR 14958) for attempting to export Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Category I unmanned aerial vehicles to countries that are not MTCR members. The ERC determined that AdCom Systems has been using two aliases, Sky Global Communications and Sky Global Communications Systems. Consequently, BIS is revising the entry for AdCom Systems by adding two aliases and a new address. PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 48533 This final rule makes the following modifications to one entry on the Entity List: United Arab Emirates (1) AdCom Systems, a.k.a., the following two aliases: —Sky Global Communications; and —Sky Global Communication Systems. Industrial City of Abu Dhabi—ICAD1, Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, UAE; and #2 Mezzanine Level, Block 19, Sharq 40 Al Morour Street, Abu Dhabi Island, Abu Dhabi, UAE. Removal From the Entity List This rule implements a decision of the ERC to remove Antony Emmanuel, an entity located in Hong Kong, from the Entity List on the basis of a removal request. The entry for Antony Emmanuel was added to the Entity List on October 22, 2008 (73 FR 54505). The ERC decided to remove this entry based on information BIS received pursuant to § 744.16 of the EAR and the review the ERC conducted in accordance with procedures described in Supplement No. 5 to part 744. This final rule implements the decision to remove the following entity located in Hong Kong from the Entity List: Hong Kong (1) Antony Emmanuel, No. 3 & 4, 12F Commercial VIP Building, 112–116 Canton Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Savings Clause Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception or for 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 September 26, 2018, 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 Control Reform Act of 2018 On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (Title XVII, Subtitle B of Pub. L. 115–232), which provides the legal basis for BIS’s principal authorities and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this rule.

(as in effect prior to August 13, 2018 and as continued in effect pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and 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, 2018, 83 FR 39871 (August 13, 2018)), or the Export Administration Regulations, and are in effect as of August 13, 2018, shall continue in effect according to their terms until modified, superseded, set aside, or revoked under the authority of ECRA. 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. This rule is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action because this rule is not significant under Executive Order 12866. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to or 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 rule. You may send comments regarding the collection of information associated with this rule, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:04 Sep 25, 2018 Jkt 244001 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. Pursuant to § 1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (Title XVII, Subtitle B of Pub. L. 115–232), which was included in the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, this action is exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requirements for notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date. 5. This action involves the removal of an entity from the Entity List. Removals from the Entity List involve interagency deliberation and result from review of public and non-public sources, including, where applicable, sensitive law enforcement information and classified information, and the measurement of such information against the Entity List removal criteria. This information is reviewed according to the procedures and criteria for evaluating removal requests from the Entity List, as set forth in 15 CFR 744.11, 15 CFR 744.16, and 15 CFR part 744, Supplement No. 5. For reasons of national security, BIS is not at liberty to provide to the public detailed information on which the ERC relies to make the decisions to remove these entities. In addition, the information included in a removal request is exchanged between the applicant and the ERC, which by law (§ 1761(h) of the ECRA), BIS is restricted from sharing with the public. Moreover, removal requests from the Entity List may contain confidential business information that is necessary for the extensive review conducted by the ERC. 6. 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. List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 744 Exports, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Terrorism.

Background E.O. 13658, titled ‘‘Establishing a Minimum Wage for Contractors,’’ was issued on February 12, 2014. See 79 FR 9849. E.O. 13658 raised the hourly minimum wage for certain workers performing work on covered Federal contracts to $10.10 per hour in 2015, with annual inflation-based adjustments thereafter as determined by the Secretary of Labor (Secretary). Id. As of January 1, 2018, the E.O. 13658 minimum wage rate is $10.35 per hour. As of January 1, 2019, the E.O. 13658 minimum wage will be $10.60 per hour. See 83 FR 44906.1 E.O. 13658 and its implementing regulations established that this minimum wage requirement applies only to a ‘‘new contract’’ that qualifies as: (A) A procurement contract for construction covered under the DavisBacon Act (DBA); (B) a contract for services covered under the McNamaraO’Hara Service Contract Act (SCA); (C) a contract for concessions, including any concessions contract that the Department’s regulations at 29 CFR 4.133(b) exclude from the SCA; or (D) a contract with the Federal Government in connection with Federal property or lands and related to offering services for Federal employees, their dependents, or the general public. Further, this minimum wage requirement applies only when the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the SCA, or the DBA governs 1 For tipped employees performing work on or in connection with covered contracts, E.O. 13658 established a different minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 per hour and will increase to $7.40 per hour beginning January 1, 2019.

Thus, exempting these services from E.O. 13658 would help prevent job losses and ensure affordable guided tours for visitors to Federal lands.

Addition of Certain Entities to the Entity List, Revision of an 
Entry on the Entity List and Removal of an Entity From the Entity List

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR) by adding fourteen entities to the Entity List. These fourteen 
entities have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting 
contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the 
United States and will be listed on the Entity List under the 
destinations of Belarus, Iran, Russia, and Singapore. This rule also 
modifies one entry on the Entity List under the destination of the 
United Arab Emirates. Lastly, this rule removes one entity under the 
destination of Hong Kong from the Entity List. The removal is made in 
connection with a request for removal BIS received pursuant to the EAR 
and a review of information provided in that request.

DATES: This rule is effective September 26, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chair, End-User Review Committee, 
Office of the Assistant Secretary, Export Administration, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, Phone: (202) 482-5991,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Entity List (15 CFR, Subchapter C, part 744, Supplement No. 4) 
identifies entities reasonably believed to be involved, or to pose a 
significant risk of being or becoming involved, in activities contrary 
to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United 
States. The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR, Subchapter 
C, parts 730-774) imposes additional license requirements on, and 
limits the availability of most license exceptions for, exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) to listed entities. The license 
review policy for each listed entity is identified in the ``License 
review policy'' column on the Entity List, and the impact on the 
availability of license exceptions is described in the relevant Federal 
Register notice adding entities to the Entity List. BIS places entities 
on the Entity List pursuant to 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 
makes all decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote.

ERC Entity List Decisions

Additions to the Entity List

    This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add fourteen 
entities to the Entity List. The addition of these fourteen entities 
involves sixteen Entity List entries, as one of the entities being 
added has locations in three destinations. The fourteen entities are 
being added based on Sec.  744.11 (License requirements that apply to 
entities acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy 
interests of the United States) of the EAR. The sixteen entries consist 
of two entries located in Belarus, one entry located in Iran, twelve 
entries located in Russia and one entry located in Singapore.
    The ERC reviewed Sec.  744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity 
List) in making the determination to add these fourteen entities to the 
Entity List. Under that paragraph, persons for whom there is reasonable 
cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that they 
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, along with 
those acting on behalf of such persons, may be added to the Entity 
List. Paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of Sec.  744.11 provide an 
illustrative list of activities that could be contrary to the national 
security or foreign policy interests of the United States. For each of 
the fourteen entities described below, the ERC made the requisite 
determination under the standard set forth in Sec.  744.11(b).
    Pursuant to Sec.  744.11(b) of the EAR, the ERC determined that 
Nilco Group, located in Belarus, Iran, and Russia, and Mohammad Najafi, 
located in Belarus, be added to the Entity List based on their 
involvement in providing material support to Iranian missile programs.
    The ERC also determined that four commercial companies--Joint Stock 
Company Scientific-Research Institute ``Vektor'', Open Joint Stock 
Company Information Technology and Communication Systems, Federal State 
Unitary Enterprise Scientific Production Enterprise ``GAMMA'', and 
Syrus Systems--located in Russia be added to the Entity List. These 
entities have enabled the activities of malicious Russian cyber actors. 
In addition, the ERC determined that two entities, Divetechnoservices 
and Oceanos, be added to the Entity List under the destination of 
Russia for providing equipment and support to the Russian Navy. The ERC 
also determined that five entities--AeroComposit; Obinsk Research and 
Production Enterprise (ORPE), Open Joint Stock Company Aviadvigatel, 
Open Joint Stock Company Scientific and Production Corporation of 
Precision Instruments Engineering (NPK-SPP), and Voronezh Scientific 
Research Institute ``Vega''--be added to the Entity List for supporting 
Russian military aerospace production activities.
    Under the destination of Singapore, the ERC determined that one 
entity, All Industrial Manufacturing (AIM) Pte Ltd., be added to the 
Entity List based on its involvement in the proliferation of 
unsafeguarded nuclear activities.
    Pursuant to Sec.  744.11(b) of the EAR, the ERC determined that the 
conduct of these fourteen entities raises sufficient concern that prior 
review of exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) of all items 
subject to the EAR involving these entities, and the possible 
imposition of license conditions or license denials on shipments to the 
persons, will enhance BIS's ability to prevent violations of the EAR.
    For thirteen of the fourteen entities described above that are 
being added to the Entity List, BIS imposes a license requirement for 
all items subject to the EAR and a license review policy of presumption 
of denial. For All Industrial Manufacturing (AIM) Pte Ltd, the entity 
added under Singapore, BIS imposes a license requirement for all items 
subject to the EAR and will exercise the license review policy set 
forth in subpart (d) of EAR Sec.  744.2, a nuclear end-user and end-use 
based provision. For all fourteen entities, the license requirements 
apply to any transaction in which items are to be exported, reexported, 
or transferred (in-country) to any of the entities or in which such 
entities act as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, 
or end-user. In addition, no

[[Page 48533]]

license exceptions are available for exports, reexports, or transfers 
(in-country) to the entities being added to the Entity List in this 
rule. The acronym ``a.k.a.'' (also known as) is used in entries on the 
Entity List to identify aliases, thereby assisting exporters, 
reexporters and transferors in identifying entities on the Entity List.
    This final rule adds the following fourteen entities to the Entity 
List, including one entity listed under three entries:

Modifications to the Entity List

    This final rule implements the decision of the ERC to modify one 
existing entry, AdCom Systems, which was added to the Entity List under 
the destination of the United Arab Emirates on March 21, 2016 (81 FR 
14958) for attempting to export Missile Technology Control Regime 
(MTCR) Category I unmanned aerial vehicles to countries that are not 
MTCR members. The ERC determined that AdCom Systems has been using two 
aliases, Sky Global Communications and Sky Global Communications 
Systems. Consequently, BIS is revising the entry for AdCom Systems by 
adding two aliases and a new address.
    This final rule makes the following modifications to one entry on 
the Entity List:

United Arab Emirates

    (1) AdCom Systems, a.k.a., the following two aliases:

--Sky Global Communications; and
--Sky Global Communication Systems.

Island, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Removal From the Entity List

    This rule implements a decision of the ERC to remove Antony 
Emmanuel, an entity located in Hong Kong, from the Entity List on the 
basis of a removal request. The entry for Antony Emmanuel was added to 
the Entity List on October 22, 2008 (73 FR 54505). The ERC decided to 
remove this entry based on information BIS received pursuant to Sec.  
744.16 of the EAR and the review the ERC conducted in accordance with 
procedures described in Supplement No. 5 to part 744.
    This final rule implements the decision to remove the following 
entity located in Hong Kong from the Entity List:

Hong Kong

    (1) Antony Emmanuel,
    No. 3 & 4, 12F Commercial VIP Building, 112-116 Canton Rd., Tsim

Savings Clause

    Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception 
or for 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 September 26, 2018, 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 Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which 
included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (Title XVII, 
Subtitle B of Pub. L. 115-232), which provides the legal basis for 
BIS's principal authorities and serves as the authority under which BIS 
issues this rule. As set forth in Sec.  1768 of ECRA, all delegations, 
rules, regulations, orders, determinations, licenses, or other forms of

[[Page 48534]]

administrative action that have been made, issued, conducted, or 
allowed to become effective under the Export Administration Act of 1979 
(50 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.) (as in effect prior to August 13, 2018 and as 
continued in effect pursuant to the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and 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, 2018, 83 FR 39871 (August 13, 
2018)), or the Export Administration Regulations, and are in effect as 
of August 13, 2018, shall continue in effect according to their terms 
until modified, superseded, set aside, or revoked under the authority 
of ECRA.

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. This rule is not an Executive Order 
13771 regulatory action because this rule is not significant under 
Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to or 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 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 
[email protected], 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. Pursuant to Sec.  1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 
(Title XVII, Subtitle B of Pub. L. 115-232), which was included in the 
John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, 
this action is exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553) requirements for notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for 
public participation, and delay in effective date.
    5. This action involves the removal of an entity from the Entity 
List. Removals from the Entity List involve interagency deliberation 
and result from review of public and non-public sources, including, 
where applicable, sensitive law enforcement information and classified 
information, and the measurement of such information against the Entity 
List removal criteria. This information is reviewed according to the 
procedures and criteria for evaluating removal requests from the Entity 
List, as set forth in 15 CFR 744.11, 15 CFR 744.16, and 15 CFR part 
744, Supplement No. 5. For reasons of national security, BIS is not at 
liberty to provide to the public detailed information on which the ERC 
relies to make the decisions to remove these entities. In addition, the 
information included in a removal request is exchanged between the 
applicant and the ERC, which by law (Sec.  1761(h) of the ECRA), BIS is 
restricted from sharing with the public. Moreover, removal requests 
from the Entity List may contain confidential business information that 
is necessary for the extensive review conducted by the ERC.
    6. 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.
