Wassenaar Arrangement 2018 Plenary Decisions Implementation; and 
Other Revisions Related to National Security Controls

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains, as part 
of its Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Commerce Control 
List (CCL), which identifies certain items subject to Department of 
Commerce jurisdiction. This final rule revises the CCL and other 
corresponding parts of the EAR, to implement changes made to the 
Wassenaar Arrangement List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies and 
Munitions List (WA Lists) maintained by the governments participating 
in the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms 
and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement, or WA) at 
the December 2018 WA Plenary meeting. The Wassenaar Arrangement 
advocates implementation of effective export controls on strategic 
items with the objective of improving regional and international 
security and stability. BIS published a final rule on May 23, 2019, 
implementing certain new controls on emerging technologies, as decided 
at the 2018 Plenary meeting. This rule harmonizes the CCL with the 
remaining decisions reached at the 2018 Plenary meeting by revising 
Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) controlled for national 
security reasons in each category of the CCL, except Category 4. This 
rule also makes other associated changes to the EAR, as well as 
adjustments to license exception eligibility for national security-
controlled items and revisions to reporting requirements.

DATES: This rule is effective September 11, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms 
and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar or WA) (https://www.wassenaar.org) is a group of 42 like-minded Participating States 
committed to promoting transparency and greater responsibility in 
transfers of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies, 
thus preventing destabilizing accumulations of those items. As a 
Participating State, the United States has committed to controlling for 
export all items on the WA Lists. The lists were first established in 
1996 and have been revised annually thereafter. Proposals for changes 
to the WA Lists that achieve consensus are approved by Participating 
States at annual plenary meetings. Participating States are charged 
with implementing the list changes as soon as possible after approval. 
The United States' implementation of changes to the WA Lists ensures 
U.S. companies have a level playing field with competitors in other WA 
Participating States.
    By a final rule published on May 23, 2019 (84 FR 23886), BIS 
implemented changes decided at the December 2018 Plenary Meeting 
concerning five emerging technologies essential to the national 
security of the United States, specifically, discrete microwave 
transistors, continuity of operation software, post-quantum 
cryptography, underwater transducers designed to operate as 
hydrophones, and air-launch platforms. The changes in this rule, which 
reflect the remaining changes to the WA Lists that were approved at the 
December 2018 Plenary meeting, update the corresponding items listed in 
the EAR and reflect the most recent changes in technologies and 
conditions. Unless explicitly discussed below, the revisions made by 
this rule will not impact the number of license applications submitted 
to BIS.

Revisions to ECCNs in the Commerce Control List To Implement WA 2018 
Plenary Decisions

    Following are lists of the ECCNs in the CCL that are revised or 
added by this rule in order to implement the WA 2018 Plenary decisions. 
Each change is further described below, by category.
    Revisions to (28) ECCNs: 0A617, 1C001, 2A001, 2B003, 2B006, 3A001, 
3A002, 3B001, 3E003, 5E001, 5A002, 5D002, 5E002, 5E992, 6A003, 6A005, 
7A002, 7A003, 7A005, 7D003, 7D005, 8A001, 8A002, 8B001, 9A010, 9A610, 
9B001, and 9E003.
    License Exception Revisions to ECCNs: 1C004: GBS; 8A001: LVS, STA; 
8D001: TSR, STA; 8E001: TSR, STA.
    New ECCNs: 6B002 (masks and reticles for optical sensors specified 
in 6A002.a.1.b or 6A002.a.1.d).
    Conforming Changes to Eight ECCNs: 0A606, 1A008, 3A991, 6A002, 
6E001, 6E002, 8D001, 8E001.

Category 0--Nuclear Materials, Facilities, and Equipment [and 
Miscellaneous Items]

0A606 Ground Vehicles and Related Commodities

    WA decided to change the phrase ``other than those specified by . . 
.'' to ``not specified by'' as the more concise and consistent way, 
within the WA List, to indicate that items in an entry are controlled 
by that entry only if not controlled elsewhere. A similar phrase is 
used in 0A606.y.8 and is therefore changed for consistency (i.e., 
``other than those controlled by. . .'' is changed to ``not controlled 
by . . .'').

0A617 Miscellaneous ``Equipment,'' Materials, and Related Commodities

    For reasons explained above in the description of changes to ECCN 
0A606, the phrase ``other than those described in'' is changed to read 
``not described in'' in 0A617.c.

[[Page 56295]]

Category 1--Special Materials and Related Equipment, Chemicals, 
``Microorganisms'', and ``Toxins''

1A004 Protective and Detection Equipment and ``Components,'' not 
``Specially Designed'' for Military Use

    ECCN 1A004 is amended by adding License Exception GBS eligibility 
for 1A004.a, .b, and .c.2, because these items have a long history of 
approvals and are deemed not ``sensitive'' by the WA. In 2018, there 
were over 800 license applications with 796 approvals. There were two 
denials for 1A004.d that also would not have qualified under the 
License Exception GBS eligibility paragraph that is implemented by this 
rule. The addition of License Exception GBS eligibility for 1A004.a, 
.b, and .c.2 is estimated to alleviate the need for preparing and 
processing 200 license applications annually, thus alleviating the 
burden on reviewing agencies as well as private industry.

1A008 Charges, Devices and ``Components''

    For reasons explained in the description of changes to ECCN 0A606, 
the phrase ``other than those specified by . . .'' is revised to read 
``not specified by . . .'' in 1A008.d. This is changed for consistent 
treatment of this phrase throughout the CCL.

1C001 Materials ``Specially Designed'' for Absorbing Electromagnetic 
Radiation, or Intrinsically Conductive Polymers

    This rule amends ECCN 1C001 by adding paragraph e. (specified 
planar absorbers) to exclusion Note 1, which is located after the 
introductory Items paragraph a, as well as a Technical Note to define 
the term ``open-cell foams''.

ANNEX to Category 1, ``List of Explosives (See ECCNs 1A004 and 1A008)''

    In the List of Explosives that is in the Annex to Category 1, ``FOX 
7'' is corrected by adding a hyphen (``FOX-7'') in paragraph 6 in order 
to make it consistent with the ``FOX-12'' in item 46 of this Annex.

Category 2--Materials Processing

2A001 Anti-Friction Bearings and Bearing Systems

    The ISO citation reference in Note 2, located at the top of the 
Items paragraph, is being clarified by changing it from ``ISO 3290 as 
grade 5'' to read ``ISO 3290:2001 as grade G5'' in order to assist the 
public to find the correct standard by its citation and year of the 
standard to use for classification purposes. In Items paragraph .a 
(ball bearings and solid roller bearings), the phrase ``or Class 2'' is 
added to the ISO 492 tolerance class reference to clarify which 
tolerance class is required to satisfy 2A001.

2B003 ``Numerically Controlled'' Machine Tools

    The Heading is amended by deleting the words ``or manual'' and 
moving much of the text to the Items paragraph of the List of Items 
Controlled in order to more clearly state the control text. With this 
change, there will be three subparagraphs that list separate control 
parameters previously listed in the Heading.

2B006 Dimensional Inspection or Measuring Systems, Equipment, Position 
Feedback Units and ``Electronic Assemblies''

    Item paragraph b.1 is amended to replace ``a measuring range up to 
0.2mm'' with ``0 to 0.2 mm of the `measuring range' '' and adding 
Technical Note 2 to define `measuring range'. The new text will clarify 
that for purposes of paragraph b.1 ``measuring range'' means the 
difference between the minimum and maximum working distance of the 
probe, and that the measuring range always starts from 0mm. This 
revision does not change the scope of control for this entry and 
clarifies the intent of this control.

The Technical Note to the Table on Deposition Techniques in Category 2

    This rule corrects the punctuation of paragraph b.4 by replacing 
the comma with a semi-colon.

Category 3--Electronics

Product Group A. ``End Items'', ``Equipment'', ``Accessories'', 
``Attachments'', ``Parts'', ``Components'', and ``Systems''

    The N.B. at the beginning of Category 3, Product Group A, is 
amended by adding an ``or'' and replacing an ``or'' with ``to'' in 
order to harmonize the text with the WA List. In addition, Note 3 is 
added to alert the public to look in specified paragraphs of Category 3 
for the classification of wafers (finished or unfinished). Exporters 
should now understand by reading the note that these wafers are to be 
evaluated against the control metric, as if they were finished.

3A001 Electronic Items

    In the license exception section, under the License Exception GBS 
paragraph, this rule replaces the term ``vacuum electronic device 
amplifiers'' with ``vacuum electronic devices'' to reflect the correct 
name of the devices. This term is also added to part 772 ``Definitions 
of Terms Used in the EAR''.
    Note 1 under 3A001.a is removed, because the note has been expanded 
and placed as Note 3 at the beginning of Category 3, Product Group A. 
Note 2 under 3A001.a is now designated as Note 1.
    The Note under Item paragraph 3A001.a.2.c is amended by adding the 
word ``designed'', which narrows the decontrol note to apply only to 
integrated circuits of 3A001.a.2 that are designed for civil automobile 
or railway train applications.
    The parameters for digital-to-analog converters (DAC) in 
3A001.a.5.b are amended by revising 3A001.a.5.b.1 and 3A001.a.5.b.2 to 
fix the overlapping controls between the two subparagraphs. 
Specifically, ``but less than 12-bit'' is added to Item paragraph 
a.5.b.1, ``but not exceeding 3,500 MSPS'' is added to Item paragraph 
a.5.b.2, and a new subparagraph a.5.b.2.b is added to read ``An 
`adjusted update rate' exceeding 3,500 MSPS.''
    Technical Note 2, located below the introductory text of Item 
paragraph .b, is removed because the definition of ``vacuum electronic 
devices'' is moved to part 772 ``Definitions of Terms Used in the 
EAR''. As a result of this change, all of the single quotes around this 
term found in 3A001, 3A991.g, 3E003.g are replaced with double quotes 
to indicate it is a defined term located in part 772.

3A002 General Purpose ``Electronic Assemblies'', Modules and Equipment

    Item paragraph a.6.b is amended by replacing the phrase ``A 
processor that performs analysis of the radio frequency signal data 
while it is being recorded'' with ````Signal processing'' of the radio 
frequency signal data while it is being recorded;''. Including the 
defined term ``signal processing,'' the definition of which is found in 
Part 772, more clearly sets out details of the processing done to the 
data.
    Item paragraph 3A002.d.5 ``maximum frequency exceeding 90 GHz'' is 
re-designated as Item paragraph 3A002.d.6. New Item paragraph d.5 adds 
a control parameter for signal generators having the ability of 
frequency switching by means of a `Radio Frequency (RF) modulation 
bandwidth' of digital baseband signals within specified frequency 
ranges. Three subparagraphs are added (subparagraphs d.5.a through 
d.5.c) to specify bandwidth and frequency ranges. Also, a Technical 
Note is added to define `RF modulation bandwidth'. Signal generators 
meeting any of the parameters in 3A002.d.5 are subject to national 
security controls to

[[Page 56296]]

countries in NS column 2 of the Commerce Country Chart (see supplement 
no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR) and anti-terrorism controls to countries 
in AT column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart, as well as any end use or 
end user controls in part 744 of the EAR. As indicated in the license 
exception section of this ECCN, this paragraph is eligible for License 
Exception LVS ($5,000) if all the criteria for this license exception 
are met and none of the license exception restrictions in Sec.  740.2 
apply (see part 740 of the EAR). Transaction-based license exceptions 
may also be available (see part 740 of the EAR). Use of license 
exceptions and Validated End-user authorizations for this item may be 
subject to Wassenaar reporting requirements in Sec.  743.1 of the EAR.

3A991 Electronic Devices, and ``Components'' Not Controlled by 3A001

    The single quotes around the term ``vacuum electronic devices'' in 
3A991.g are replaced with double quotes to indicate the term is defined 
in part 772. See above explanation under ECCN 3A001.

3B001 Equipment for the Manufacturing of Semiconductor Devices or 
Materials

    Item paragraph 3B001.h ``multi-layer masks'' is amended by removing 
subparagraph h.1 (parameter of the substrate blank composition) and 
merging subparagraph h.2 with Item paragraph .h in order to focus the 
control solely on the lithography equipment wavelength.

3E003 Other ``Technology'' for the ``Development'' or ``Production'' of 
Specified Electronics

    The single quotes around the term ``vacuum electronic devices'' in 
3E003.g are replaced with double quotes to indicate the term is defined 
in part 772. See above explanation under ECCN 3A001.

Category 5--Part 1--``Telecommunications''

5E001 ``Technology''

    This final rule makes an editorial revision in paragraph d.4 by 
removing two unnecessary spaces, so that the text reads ``0.1 nW''.

Category 5--Part 2--``Information Security''

5A002 ``Information Security'' Systems, Equipment and ``Components''

    The Related Control Note 3 is amended by replacing the term 
``Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)'' with the EAR defined 
term ``satellite navigation system,'' which includes Global Navigation 
Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Regional Navigation Satellite Systems 
(RNSS), see part 772.
    Exclusion Note 2 of 5A002 is amended by adding a new paragraph j. 
that lists ``items specially designed for a `connected civil industry 
application'''. Paragraph j. also includes 2 Technical Notes that 
define `connected civil industry application' and `non-arbitrary data'.
    Paragraph 5A002.b is amended by replacing the existing text with 
``Being a `cryptographic activation token', i.e., ``information 
security'' systems, equipment and ``components,'' that are 
`cryptographic activation tokens' are controlled. A Technical Note is 
included to explain more about converting by means of ``cryptographic 
activation'' and enabling by means of ``cryptographic activation''.

5D002 ``Software''

    Paragraph 5D002.b is amended by replacing a large portion of the 
text with ``having the characteristics of a `cryptographic activation 
token' specified by 5A002.b'' to simplify the text and for consistency.

5E002 ``Technology''

    Paragraph 5E002.b is amended by replacing a large portion of the 
text with the phrase ``having the characteristics of a `cryptographic 
activation token' specified by 5A002.b'' to simplify the text and for 
consistency.

Category 6--Sensors and Lasers

6A002 Optical Sensors and Equipment, and ``Components'' Therefor

    The Related Controls paragraph is amended by adding a seventh Note 
to refer to new ECCN 6B002 for masks and reticles that are ``specially 
designed'' for optical sensors specified by 6A002.a.1.b or 6A002.a.1.d.

6A003 Cameras, Systems or Equipment, and ``Components'' Therefor

    In Note 3 to 6A003.b.4.b, located under 6A003.b.4.c, paragraph b.1 
is amended by revising the exclusion parameter for imaging cameras with 
minimum horizontal or vertical `Instantaneous-Field-of View (IFOV)' of 
``at least 10 mrad (milliradians)'' to ``at least 2 mrad 
(milliradians)''. This change is an update to the parameter to address 
increased civilian use of imaging cameras with IFOV of at least 2 mrad.

6A005 ``Lasers,'' ``Components'' and Optical Equipment

    The terms `single transverse mode' and `multiple transverse mode' 
are not defined in 6A005, but are used to distinguish between 
parameters for control. This rule adds Note 6 to 6A005 to define these 
terms using easily identifiable and measurable characteristics of 
lasers in order for the laser controls to be applied consistently. 
Therefore, single quotes are added around each of these terms 
throughout 6A005 to indicate these terms are defined within a Note in 
6A005.
    Paragraph 6A005.a.6.a is amended by adding a spectral bandwidth 
parameter for the control of single transverse mode non-tunable 
continuous wave lasers. This change is being made because the simplest 
way to characterize scalability of a laser is to specify the laser 
linewidth, which is essentially a measure of the spectral purity of the 
laser.
    Paragraph 6A005.a.6.b.1 is amended by raising the output power from 
500 W to 1000 W because the market for these single-mode lasers has 
matured substantially in recent years, resulting in increased demand 
for higher power and beam quality. Also, the lasers with lower power 
and beam quality have become more available in countries outside the WA 
membership.
    Exclusion Note 2 to 6A005.a.6.b is amended by removing and 
reserving paragraph a., which stated ``having to do with output power 
exceeding 500 W but not exceeding 1 kW and all of the following: Beam 
Parameter Product (BPP) exceeding 0.7 mmmrad.'' The 
associated Technical Note to paragraph a. is also removed. In addition, 
paragraph e. of the Note is amended by raising the upper limit of the 
output power range from 4 kW to 6 kW, in order to narrow the controls 
of solid state lasers to the performance of lasers that are available 
from outside the WA countries. Paragraphs f. and g. of the Note are 
removed and reserved because of technological advancement of multiple 
transverse mode industrial lasers.

6B002 Masks and Reticles, ``Specially Designed'' for Optical Sensors 
Specified by 6A002.a.1.b or 6A002.a.1.d

    Masks and reticles are process tools for electronics components 
from which the design can be inferred. Masks and reticles are already 
controlled for integrated circuits in Category 3, under ECCN 3B001.g, 
when they are designed for circuits specified in 3A001. 6B002 is added 
to the CCL to control masks and reticles for optical sensors specified 
in

[[Page 56297]]

6A002.a.1.b or 6A002.a.1.d because the inferred design of these masks 
and reticles would allow the reproduction and/or the retro-engineering 
of such circuits. ECCN 6B002 items require a license for national 
security reasons for all countries that have an ``X'' under NS Column 2 
and for anti-terrorism reasons for all countries that have an ``X'' 
under AT Column 1 on the Commerce Country Chart in supplement no. 1 to 
part 738. Adding masks and reticles to ECCN 6B002 will ensure they are 
controlled to these sensitive destinations.
    As indicated under the list-based license exception section of ECCN 
6B002, these items are eligible for license exceptions LVS ($5000), and 
GBS, so long as all the criteria of these license exceptions are met 
and none of the restrictions of Sec.  740.2 apply. Other license 
exceptions, e.g., RPL, GOV, and STA, may be available depending on the 
transaction details and eligibility criteria of the license exceptions 
in part 740.

6E001 and 6E002 ``Technology''

    The License Requirements tables of ECCN 6E001 and 6E002 have been 
amended to revise the national security rows in order to add in the new 
ECCN 6B002. A license is required for ``technology'' for the 
``development'' and ``production'' of masks and reticles controlled by 
6B002 for national security and anti-terrorism reasons for countries 
with an ``X'' in column NS Column 1 or in column AT Column 1 in the 
Commerce Country Chart in supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR. For 
technology that has a license requirement, License Exception TSR is 
available if all the criteria for TSR are met and none of the 
restrictions of Sec.  740.2 apply. License Exception STA is available 
if none of the restrictions outlined in ECCN 6E001 or 6E002 apply, all 
the criteria of STA are met, and none of the restrictions of Sec.  
740.2 apply. Other license exceptions in part 740 may also be available 
depending on the details of the transaction.

Category 7--Navigation and Avionics

7A002 Gyros or Angular Rate Sensors

    ECCN 7A002 is being amended by removing the parenthetical phrase 
(see list of items controlled) in the Heading because the list of items 
controlled section of the ECCN contains a list of characteristics 
instead of a list of items.
    Paragraphs 7A002.a.1 and a.2 are amended by replacing ``A rate 
range'' with ``An angular rate range'' in order to more accurately 
describe the parameter that applies to the change rate of angle.

7A003 `Inertial Measurement Equipment or Systems'

    ECCN 7A003 is amended by removing the parenthetical phrase (see 
list of items controlled) in the Heading because the list of items 
controlled section of the ECCN contains a list of characteristics 
instead of a list of items.
    Paragraph a. of the Technical Note at the beginning of the Items 
paragraph is amended by replacing ``Global Navigation Satellite Systems 
(GNSS)'' with ``satellite navigation system'' in order to clarify that 
the control applies to all satellite navigation systems, not just those 
that have global coverage. The term ``satellite navigation system'' is 
added to Sec.  772.1, thus the term is in double quotes.

7A005 ``Satellite Navigation System'' Receiving Equipment

    ECCN 7A005 is amended by removing the parenthetical phrase (see 
list of items controlled) in the Heading, because the list of items 
controlled section of the ECCN contains a list of characteristics 
instead of a list of items.
    The Heading, Related Controls, and the Note below Item paragraph 
7A005.b are amended by replacing the term ``Global Navigation Satellite 
Systems (GNSS)'' with the newly defined term ``satellite navigation 
system'' for reasons stated in the explanation under ECCN 7A003 above.

7D003 Other ``Software''

    ECCN 7D003.b.2 is amended by replacing the term ``Global Navigation 
Satellite Systems (GNSS)'' with the newly defined term ``satellite 
navigation system'' for reasons stated above under ECCN 7A003.

7D005 ``Software'' ``Specially Designed'' to Decrypt ``Satellite 
Navigation System'' Ranging Signals Designed for Government Use

    The Heading is amended by replacing the term ``Global Navigation 
Satellite Systems (GNSS)'' with the newly defined term ``satellite 
navigation system'' for reasons stated above under ECCN 7A003.

Category 8--Marine

8A001 Submersible Vehicles and Surface Vessels

    Paragraph 8A001.c is amended to specify all unmanned submersible 
vehicles controlled under ECCN 8A001. Unmanned submersible vehicles are 
moved from 8A001.d to 8A001.c.1, and 8A001.d is reserved. Unmanned 
tethered submersible vehicles are moved from 8A001.c to 8A001.c.2. The 
license requirements for the unmanned tethered submersible vehicles is 
unchanged and is controlled for national security reasons for NS column 
2 countries. The License Exception LVS paragraph is amended by revising 
the reference to 8A001.d to read 8A001.c.1, and maintaining 
ineligibility for unmanned untethered submersible vehicles in 
8A001.c.1.

8A002 Marine Systems, Equipment, ``Parts'' and ``Components''

    Paragraph 8A002.d is amended by cascading the parameters into 
subparagraphs for clarity. There is no change in the scope of this 
control by this revision.

8B001 Water Tunnels

    The Heading of 8B001 is amended by replacing ``having'' with 
``designed to have'', replacing ``in the frequency range'' with 
``within the frequency range'', and replacing ``from 0 to 500 Hz'' with 
``exceeding 0 Hz but not exceeding 500 Hz'', in order to make clear 
that only water tunnels designed to meet these parameters are 
controlled by this entry and that background noise must be less than 
100 dB within the frequency range exceeding 0 Hz, but not exceeding 500 
Hz.

8D001 ``Software'' ``Specially Designed'' or Modified for the 
``Development,'' ``Production'' or ``Use'' of Equipment or Materials, 
Controlled by 8A (Except 8A992), 8B or 8C and

8E001 ``Technology'' According to the General Technology Note for the 
``Development'' or ``Production'' of Equipment or Materials, Controlled 
by 8A (Except 8A992), 8B or 8C

    8D001 and 8E001 are amended by replacing the reference to 8A001.d 
with 8A001.c.1 in the License Exception TSR eligibility paragraph; and 
amending the Special Conditions for STA by removing the reference to 
8A001.d, because unmanned submersible vehicles are moved from 8A001.d 
to 8A001.c.1, and 8A001.c is already listed in this paragraph.

Category 9--Aerospace and Propulsion

9A010 ``Specially Designed'' ``Parts,'' ``Components,'' Systems and 
Structures, for Launch Vehicles, Launch Vehicle Propulsion Systems or 
``Spacecraft''

    Paragraph 9A010.d (pulsed liquid rocket engines) is amended by 
moving the text within parentheses to a new Technical Note below the 
paragraph.

[[Page 56298]]

9A610 Military Aircraft and Related Commodities, Other Than Those 
Enumerated in 9A991.a

    Note 2 to 9A610.a, which excludes from 9A610.a `military aircraft' 
that were first manufactured before 1946, is amended by adding ``or 
``lighter-than-air vehicles'''' after the words `military aircraft,' 
because there was no intent to maintain controls on lighter-than-air 
vehicles from pre-1946, or their components.

9B001 Manufacturing Equipment, Tooling or Fixtures

    The Heading of 9B001 is amended by adding ``manufacturing'' to the 
front and moving the ``specially designed for . . . .'' phrase to 
9B001.b and 9B001.c. Item paragraph 9B001.a (Directional solidification 
or single crystal casting equipment) is amended by adding the parameter 
``designed for ``superalloys'' to narrow the scope of control.

9E003 Other ``Technology''

    Paragraph 9E003.a.7 (gas turbine engine ``parts'' or ``components'' 
using ``diffusion bonding'' ``technology'' controlled by 2D003.b) is 
removed and reserved, because it is redundant to other controls for 
such parts and components. Paragraph 9E003.a.7 is not necessary for 
several reasons. First, diffusion bonding is a subset of solid-state 
joining. Second, 9E003.a.6 presently controls diffusion bonding and 
other solid-state joining techniques when applied to the components of 
concern, i.e., airfoil-to-disk blade combinations. Third, 9E003.a.1-5 
also presently controls ``development'' and ``production'' 
``technology'' for components of concern, regardless of construction 
method. Fourth, ECCN 1B003 covers the control of tools, dies, molds or 
fixtures for diffusion bonding of specified alloys in aircraft/
aerospace applications, and ECCN 1E001 controls the ``technology'' 
``required'' for the ``development'' or ``production'' of items 
controlled by ECCN 1B003. All of these other controls cover what was 
already controlled in paragraph 9E003.a.7, and therefore to end this 
redundancy, this paragraph is being removed.

Part 772--Definitions of Terms as Used in the Export Administration 
Regulations (EAR)

    The definition of ``cryptography'' is amended by adding Note 2 to 
alert the public that ``cryptography'' includes decryption.
    The definition of ``radiant sensitivity'' is amended by adding a 
period to the end of the definition.
    The definition of ``satellite navigation system'' is added to Sec.  
772.1 in order to clarify that the term applies to all satellite 
navigation systems, not just those that have global coverage.
    The definition of ``stability'' is amended by revising the Note to 
the definition to add accelerometers. The term ``stability'' is used in 
ECCN 7A001 (accelerometers), specifically in 7A001.a.1.a and a.1.b.
    The definition of ``vacuum electronic devices'' is added to Sec.  
772.1. The term was defined in Technical Note 2 under 3A001.b, however, 
because it is used in two separate ECCNs 3A001.b.1 and 3E003, the 
definition is removed from 3A001 and added (unchanged) to Sec.  772.1.

Supplement No. 6 to Part 774 ``Sensitive List''

    Paragraph (3) is amended by re-designating paragraphs (3)(i) 
through (iii) as paragraphs (3)(iii) through (v) and adding new 
paragraph (3)(i) 3A001.b.2--``Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit'' 
(``MMIC'') amplifiers and new paragraph (3)(ii) 3A001.b.3--Discrete 
microwave transistors, because these items warrant higher levels of 
control and monitoring. New paragraphs (iv) 3D001and (v) 3E001 are 
amended by adding reference to 3A001.b.2 and 3A001.b.3. Items on the 
Sensitive List tend to be ineligible for license exceptions by WA 
Participating States or are subject to reporting requirements.
    Paragraph (6)(xiii) is amended by merging Note 7 and Note 8. 
Therefore, Note 8 is removed.
    Paragraphs (8)(i) ``8A001.b'' and introductory paragraphs (ii) 
``8A002.b'', (vi) ``8D001'' and (viii) ``8E001'' are amended by 
replacing ``8A001.b to .d'' with ``8A001.b. to .c'' because the Item 
paragraph specifying unmanned submersible vehicles is moved from 
8A001.d to 8A001.c.1.

Supplement No. 7 to Part 774--Very Sensitive List

    The WA Very Sensitive List (VSL) is amended by revising paragraph 
(5) of Category 8 to replace paragraph citations ``8A001.d'' with 
``8A001.c.1'' throughout paragraph (5), because the item 8A001.d is 
moved to c.1 in this final rule (see explanation above under 8A001).

Other National Security Revisions

    This rule revises paragraph (b) in Sec.  743.3 ``Thermal Imaging 
Camera Reporting'' by only requiring the report for exports of more 
than 100 thermal imaging devices in a monocular, biocular, or binocular 
configuration. This will reduce the burden on the public and only 
require the report for exports of concern.

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), 50 U.S.C. 
Sections 4801-4852. ECRA provides the legal basis for BIS's principal 
authorities and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this 
rule.

Saving Clause

    Shipments of items removed from license exception eligibility or 
eligibility for export, reexport or transfer (in-country) without a 
license as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock for 
loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or en route 
aboard a carrier to a port of export, on September 11, 2020, pursuant 
to actual orders for exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) to a 
foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous 
license exception eligibility or without a license so long as they have 
been exported, reexported or transferred (in-country) before November 
10, 2020. Any such items not actually exported, reexported or 
transferred (in-country) before midnight, on November 10, 2020, require 
a license in accordance with this final rule.

Executive Order Requirements

    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 designated a ``significant regulatory action'' 
under Executive Order 12866. The Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) has been 
established in order to contribute to regional and international 
security and stability, by promoting transparency and greater 
responsibility in transfers of conventional arms and dual-use goods and 
technologies, thus preventing destabilizing accumulations. The aim is 
also to prevent the acquisition of these items by terrorists. There are 
presently 42 Participating States, including the United States, that 
seek through their national policies to ensure that transfers

[[Page 56299]]

of these items do not contribute to the development or enhancement of 
military capabilities that undermine these goals, and to ensure that 
these items are not diverted to support such military capabilities that 
undermine these goals. Implementation of the WA consensus decisions in 
a timely manner enhances the national security of the United States and 
global international trade.
    This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as 
that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    This rule is not subject to the requirements of E.O. 13771 (82 FR 
9339, February 3, 2017) because it is issued with respect to a national 
security function of the United States.

Paperwork Reduction Act Requirements

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required 
to respond to, nor shall any person 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 involves the following OMB approved collections of 
information subject to the PRA: 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose 
Application'', which carries a burden hour estimate of 29.6 minutes for 
a manual or electronic submission; 0694-0106, ``Reporting and 
Recordkeeping Requirements under the Wassenaar Arrangement,'' which 
carries a burden hour estimate of 21 minutes for a manual or electronic 
submission; 0694-0096 ``Five Year Records Retention Period,'' which 
carries a burden hour estimate of less than 1 minute; and 0607-0152 
``Automated Export System (AES) Program, which carries a burden hour 
estimate of 3 minutes per electronic submission. Specific license 
application submission estimates are discussed further in the preamble 
of this rule where the revision is explained. BIS estimates that 
revisions that are editorial, moving the location of control text on 
the Commerce Control List, or clarifications will result in no change 
in license application submissions. This rule revises Section 743.3 
``Thermal Imaging Reporting Requirements'' by narrowing the reporting 
requirement, which carried a burden hour estimate of 60 minutes per 
submission and 60 submissions per year under collection 0694-0137 
``License Exceptions and Exclusions.'' Because collection 0694-0137 
applies to a group of collections with a burden hour estimate average 
based upon the burden hours and responses for a large total number of 
collections, the current burden hour estimate average for collection 
0694-0137 is not affected by this rule's revision of the Section 743.3 
``Thermal Imaging Reporting Requirements,'' and therefore remains at 
1.5 hours per submission.
    Any comments regarding these collections of information, including 
suggestions for reducing the burden, may be sent to OMB Desk Officer, 
New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; and to Jasmeet K. 
Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by email to 
[email protected], or by fax to (202) 395-7285.

Administrative Procedure Act and Regulatory Flexibility Act 
Requirements

    Pursuant to Section 4821 of ECRA, 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.
    Further, 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 to be given for this rule under the 
Administrative Procedure Act 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.

Sec.  772.1  Definitions of terms as used in the Export Administration 
Regulations (EAR).

* * * * *
    Cryptography (Cat 5P2)--The discipline that embodies principles, 
means and methods for the transformation of data in order to hide its 
information content, prevent its undetected modification or prevent its 
unauthorized use. ``Cryptography'' is limited to the transformation of 
information using one or more `secret parameters' (e.g., crypto 
variables) and/or associated key management.
    Notes:
    1. ``Cryptography'' does not include `fixed' data compression or 
coding techniques.
    2. ``Cryptography'' includes decryption.
    Technical Notes:
    1. `Secret parameter': A constant or key kept from the knowledge of 
others or shared only within a group.
    2. `Fixed': The coding or compression algorithm cannot accept 
externally

[[Page 56300]]

supplied parameters (e.g., cryptographic or key variables) and cannot 
be modified by the user.
* * * * *
    Radiant sensitivity (Cat 6)--Radiant sensitivity (mA/W) = 0.807 x 
(wavelength in nm) x `Quantum Efficiency (QE)'.

    Technical Note: `QE' is usually expressed as a percentage; 
however, for the purposes of this formula `QE' is expressed as a 
decimal number less than one, e.g., 78% is 0.78.

* * * * *
    Satellite navigation system (Cat 5P2, 7)--A system consisting of 
ground stations, a constellation of satellites, and receivers, that 
enables receiver locations to be calculated on the basis of signals 
received from the satellites. It includes Global Navigation Satellite 
Systems (GNSS) and Regional Navigation Satellite Systems (RNSS).
* * * * *
    Stability (Cat 7) Standard deviation (1 sigma) of the variation of 
a particular parameter from its calibrated value measured under stable 
temperature conditions. This can be expressed as a function of time.

    Note: For gyroscopes and accelerometers, ``stability'' can be 
estimated by determining the Allan variance noise-analysis value at 
the integration period (i.e., sample time) consistent with the 
stated measurement period, which may include extrapolating the Allan 
variance noise analysis beyond the instability point into the rate/
acceleration random walk or rate/acceleration ramp regions to an 
integration period consistent with the stated measurement period 
(Reference: IEEE Std. 952-1997 [R2008] or IEEE Std 1293-1998 
[R2008]).

* * * * *
    Vacuum electronic devices (Cat 3) Electronic devices based on the 
interaction of an electron beam with an electromagnetic wave 
propagating in a vacuum circuit or interacting with radio-frequency 
vacuum cavity resonators. ``Vacuum electronic devices'' include 
klystrons, travelling-wave tubes, and their derivatives.

15. In Supplement No. 1 to part 774, Category 2, under ``Category 2E--
Materials Processing Table; Deposition Techniques,'' the Technical Note 
to Table on Deposition Techniques is revised to read as follows:

[[Page 56305]]

Category 2--Materials Processing

* * * * *

Category 2E--Materials Processing Table; Deposition Techniques

* * * * *

    Technical Note to Table on Deposition Techniques: Processes 
specified in Column 1 of the Table are defined as follows:
    a. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is an overlay coating or 
surface modification coating process wherein a metal, alloy, 
``composite'', dielectric or ceramic is deposited upon a heated 
substrate. Gaseous reactants are decomposed or combined in the 
vicinity of a substrate resulting in the deposition of the desired 
elemental, alloy or compound material on the substrate. Energy for 
this decomposition or chemical reaction process may be provided by 
the heat of the substrate, a glow discharge plasma, or ``laser'' 
irradiation.


    Note 1:  CVD includes the following processes: Directed gas flow 
out-of-pack deposition, pulsating CVD, controlled nucleation thermal 
decomposition (CNTD), plasma enhanced or plasma assisted CVD 
processes.


    Note 2:  Pack denotes a substrate immersed in a powder mixture.


    Note 3:  The gaseous reactants used in the out-of-pack process 
are produced using the same basic reactions and parameters as the 
pack cementation process, except that the substrate to be coated is 
not in contact with the powder mixture.

    b. Thermal Evaporation-Physical Vapor Deposition (TE-PVD) is an 
overlay coating process conducted in a vacuum with a pressure less 
than 0.1 Pa wherein a source of thermal energy is used to vaporize 
the coating material. This process results in the condensation, or 
deposition, of the evaporated species onto appropriately positioned 
substrates. The addition of gases to the vacuum chamber during the 
coating process to synthesize compound coatings is an ordinary 
modification of the process. The use of ion or electron beams, or 
plasma, to activate or assist the coating's deposition is also a 
common modification in this technique. The use of monitors to 
provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and 
thickness of coatings can be a feature of these processes. Specific 
TE-PVD processes are as follows:
    1. Electron Beam PVD uses an electron beam to heat and evaporate 
the material which forms the coating;
    2. Ion Assisted Resistive Heating PVD employs electrically 
resistive heating sources in combination with impinging ion beam(s) 
to produce a controlled and uniform flux of evaporated coating 
species;
    3. ``Laser'' Vaporization uses either pulsed or continuous wave 
``laser'' beams to vaporize the material which forms the coating;
    4. Cathodic Arc Deposition employs a consumable cathode of the 
material which forms the coating and has an arc discharge 
established on the surface by a momentary contact of a ground 
trigger. Controlled motion of arcing erodes the cathode surface 
creating a highly ionized plasma. The anode can be either a cone 
attached to the periphery of the cathode, through an insulator, or 
the chamber. Substrate biasing is used for non line-of-sight 
deposition;

    Note:  This definition does not include random cathodic arc 
deposition with non-biased substrates.

    5. Ion Plating is a special modification of a general TE-PVD 
process in which a plasma or an ion source is used to ionize the 
species to be deposited, and a negative bias is applied to the 
substrate in order to facilitate the extraction of the species from 
the plasma. The introduction of reactive species, evaporation of 
solids within the process chamber, and the use of monitors to 
provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and 
thicknesses of coatings are ordinary modifications of the process.
    c. Pack Cementation is a surface modification coating or overlay 
coating process wherein a substrate is immersed in a powder mixture 
(a pack), that consists of:
    1. The metallic powders that are to be deposited (usually 
aluminum, chromium, silicon or combinations thereof);
    2. An activator (normally a halide salt); and
    3. An inert powder, most frequently alumina.

    Note: The substrate and powder mixture is contained within a 
retort which is heated to between 1,030 K (757 [deg]C) to 1,375 K 
(1,102 [deg]C) for sufficient time to deposit the coating.

    d. Plasma Spraying is an overlay coating process wherein a gun 
(spray torch) which produces and controls a plasma accepts powder or 
wire coating materials, melts them and propels them towards a 
substrate, whereon an integrally bonded coating is formed. Plasma 
spraying constitutes either low pressure plasma spraying or high 
velocity plasma spraying.

    Note 1:  Low pressure means less than ambient atmospheric 
pressure.


    Note 2:  High velocity refers to nozzle-exit gas velocity 
exceeding 750 m/s calculated at 293 K (20 [deg]C) at 0.1 MPa.

    e. Slurry Deposition is a surface modification coating or 
overlay coating process wherein a metallic or ceramic powder with an 
organic binder is suspended in a liquid and is applied to a 
substrate by either spraying, dipping or painting, subsequent air or 
oven drying, and heat treatment to obtain the desired coating.
    f. Sputter Deposition is an overlay coating process based on a 
momentum transfer phenomenon, wherein positive ions are accelerated 
by an electric field towards the surface of a target (coating 
material). The kinetic energy of the impacting ions is sufficient to 
cause target surface atoms to be released and deposited on an 
appropriately positioned substrate.

    Note 1: The Table refers only to triode, magnetron or reactive 
sputter deposition which is used to increase adhesion of the coating 
and rate of deposition and to radio frequency (RF) augmented sputter 
deposition used to permit vaporization of non-metallic coating 
materials.


    Note 2:  Low-energy ion beams (less than 5 keV) can be used to 
activate the deposition.

    g. Ion Implantation is a surface modification coating process in 
which the element to be alloyed is ionized, accelerated through a 
potential gradient and implanted into the surface region of the 
substrate. This includes processes in which ion implantation is 
performed simultaneously with electron beam physical vapor 
deposition or sputter deposition.

and the output rate is the maximum output rate of any single 
channel.
    5. For `interleaved ADCs' or for `multiple channel ADCs' that 
are specified to have an interleaved mode of operation, the outputs 
are aggregated and the output rate is the maximum combined total 
output rate of all of the outputs.
    6. Vendors may also refer to the output rate as sampling rate, 
conversion rate or throughput rate. It is often specified in 
megahertz (MHz) mega words per second or Mega Samples Per Second

    Technical Notes: 

    1. `Spurious Free Dynamic Range' (SFDR) is defined as the ratio 
of the RMS value of the carrier frequency (maximum signal component) 
at the input of the DAC to the RMS value of the next largest noise 
or harmonic distortion component at its output.
    2. SFDR is determined directly from the specification table or 
from the characterization plots of SFDR versus frequency.
    3. A signal is defined to be full scale when its amplitude is 
greater than -3 dBfs (full scale).
    4. `Adjusted update rate' for DACs is:
    a. For conventional (non-interpolating) DACs, the `adjusted 
update rate' is the rate at which the digital signal is converted to 
an analog signal and the output analog values are changed by the 
DAC. For DACs where the interpolation mode may be bypassed 
(interpolation factor of one), the DAC should be considered as a 
conventional (non-interpolating) DAC.
    b. For interpolating DACs (oversampling DACs), the `adjusted 
update rate' is defined as the DAC update rate divided by the 
smallest interpolating factor. For interpolating DACs, the `adjusted 
update rate' may be referred to by different terms including:

 Input data rate
 input word rate
 input sample rate
 maximum total input bus rate
 maximum DAC clock rate for DAC clock input

devices that are combined with an analog-to-digital converter, see 
3A001.a.14.

    Technical Notes: 

    1. Maximum number of digital input/outputs in 3A001.a.7.a is 
also referred to as maximum user input/outputs or maximum available 
input/outputs, whether the integrated circuit is packaged or bare 
die.

product of the peak serial one-way transceiver data rate times the 
number of transceivers on the FPGA.

List of Items Controlled

Related Controls: (1) Hot section ``technology'' specifically 
designed, modified, or equipped for military uses or purposes, or 
developed principally with U.S. Department of Defense funding, is 
``subject to the ITAR'' (see 22 CFR parts 120 through 130). (2) 
``Technology'' is subject to the EAR when actually applied to a 
commercial ``aircraft'' engine program. Exporters may seek to 
establish commercial application either on a case-by-case basis 
through submission of documentation demonstrating application to a 
commercial program in requesting an export license from the 
Department Commerce in respect to a specific export, or in the case 
of use for broad categories of ``aircraft,'' engines, ``parts'' or 
``components,'' a commodity jurisdiction determination from the 
Department of State.
