been determined by the United States
Government to be acting contrary to the
foreign policy interests of the United
States and will be listed on the Entity
List under the destination of the
People’s Republic of China (China). This
rule also modifies or revises thirty-seven
existing entries on the Entity List under
the destination of China.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Entity List (15 CFR, subchapter C,
part 744, Supplement No. 4) identifies
entities reasonably believed to be
involved in, 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 parts 730–774) impose additional
license requirements on, and limit 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 document 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.

Additions to the Entity List
This rule implements the decision of
the ERC to add eleven entities to the
Entity List. The eleven 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 eleven entities
are located in China.
The ERC reviewed and applied
§ 744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the
Entity List) in making the determination
to add these eleven 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 (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 eleven entities
described below, the ERC made the
requisite determination under the
standard set forth in § 744.11(b).
Specifically, the ERC determined that
the entities are engaging in or enabling
activities contrary to the foreign policy
interests of the United States. All eleven
entities have been implicated in human
rights violations and abuses in the
implementation of China’s campaign of
repression, mass arbitrary detention,
forced labor and high-technology
surveillance against Uyghurs, Kazakhs,
and other members of Muslim minority
groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur
Autonomous Region (XUAR).
Specifically, the ERC determined that
Changji Esquel Textile Co. Ltd.; Hefei
Bitland Information Technology Co.
Ltd.; Hefei Meiling Co. Ltd.; Hetian
Haolin Hair Accessories Co. Ltd.; Hetian
Taida Apparel Co., Ltd.; KTK Group;
Nanjing Synergy Textiles Co. Ltd.;
Nanchang O-Film Tech; and Tanyuan
Technology Co. Ltd. are engaging in
activities contrary to the foreign policy
interests of the United States through
the practice of forced labor involving
members of Muslim minority groups in
the XUAR. The ERC also determined
that Xinjiang Silk Road BGI and Beijing
Liuhe BGI are enabling activities
contrary to the foreign policy interests
of the United States through conducting
genetic analyses used to further the
