Bureau of Industry and
Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Interim final rule; technical
amendment.
AGENCY:
On January 6, 2020, the
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
amended the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) to add Software
Specially Designed to Automate the
Analysis of Geospatial Imagery to the
0Y521 Temporary Export Control
Classification Numbers (ECCN) Series as
0D521. BIS first extended controls on
this emerging technology for a second
year pursuant to the 0Y521 series
extension procedures on January 6,
2021, and in this action extends these
controls a second time for an additional
year for a total of three years of this
control since it was added to the EAR
on January 6, 2020.
DATES: This rule is effective January 6,
2022.

TKELLEY on DSK125TN23PROD with RULES1
SUMMARY:
Background
On January 6, 2020, the Bureau of
Industry and Security (BIS) amended
the Export Administration Regulations
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:53 Jan 05, 2022
Jkt 256001
(EAR) with an interim final rule to add
an emerging technology—Software
Specially Designed to Automate the
Analysis of Geospatial Imagery—to the
0Y521 Temporary Export Control
Classification Numbers (ECCN) Series as
0D521. (85 FR 459, January 6, 2020).
More specifically, the software was
described as Geospatial imagery
‘‘software’’ ‘‘specially designed’’ for
training a Deep Convolutional Neural
Network to automate the analysis of
geospatial imagery and point clouds.
The following year, BIS extended that
status for a year. (86 FR 461, January 6,
2021). These actions are consistent with
Section 1758 (50 U.S.C. 4801) of the
Export Control Reform Act of 2018
(ECRA), which requires the Department
of Commerce to establish appropriate
controls on the export, reexport, or
transfer (in-country) of emerging and
foundational technologies.
BIS established the ECCN 0Y521
series (April 13, 2012, 72 FR 22191) to
identify items that warrant control on
the Commerce Control List (CCL) but are
not yet identified in an existing ECCN.
Items in the 0Y521 series of ECCNs are
added upon a determination by the
Department of Commerce, with the
concurrence of the Departments of
Defense and State, and other agencies as
appropriate, that the items warrant
control for export because the items may
provide a significant military or
intelligence advantage to the United
States or because foreign policy reasons
justify control. The ECCN 0Y521 series
is a temporary holding classification.
Under the procedures set forth in
Section 742.6(a)(8)(iii) of the EAR, items
classified under ECCN 0Y521 remain so
classified for one year from the date
they are listed in supplement no. 5 to
part 774 of the EAR, unless the items are
re-classified under a different ECCN or
the 0Y521 classification is extended.
BIS may extend an item’s ECCN 0Y521
classification for two one-year periods,
provided that the U.S. Government has
submitted a proposal to the relevant
multilateral regime(s) (e.g., the
Wassenaar Arrangement) to obtain
multilateral controls over the item, with
the understanding that multilateral
controls are preferable when practical.
Further extension beyond three years
may occur only if the Under Secretary
for Industry and Security makes a
determination that such extension is in
the national security or foreign policy
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
interest of the United States. Any
extension or re-extension of control of
an ECCN 0Y521 item, including the
determination by the Under Secretary,
shall be published in the Federal
Register.
In this action, BIS extends the status
of an item classified under a 0Y521
ECCN for a second time for an
additional year, for a total of three years
of this control since it was added to the
EAR on January 6, 2020, consistent with
procedures that allow such an
extension. Specifically, in this case the
U.S. Government submitted a proposal
for multilateral control of software
specially designed to automate the
analysis of geospatial imagery, as
described in the January 6, 2020 interim
final rule and in ECCN 0D521, to the
relevant multilateral regime (the
Wassenaar Arrangement) in a timely
manner, within the first year of the
item’s 0D521 classification. However,
due to the pandemic, the Wassenaar
Arrangement did not formally convene
in 2020 and therefore was unable to
consider acceptance of the proposal.
Therefore, BIS published the first
extension of this 0Y521 control on
January 6, 2021. However, the
Wassenaar Arrangement’s limited
deliberations in 2021 due to the
pandemic did not allow for sufficient
discussion of this proposal. An
additional extension of time is
appropriate in order for the U.S.
Government to continue its effort at the
Wassenaar Arrangement in 2022, and is
consistent with the requirements of
Section 1758(c) of ECRA.
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. 4801–4852) that
provides the legal basis for BIS’s
principal authorities and serves as the
authority under which BIS issues this
rule.
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
E:\FR\FM\06JAR1.SGM

730
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 4 / Thursday, January 6, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
effects, distribute 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 interim final rule has
been designated to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, no person is required
to respond to, nor is 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
OMB control number. This rule does not
involve any collection of information.
3. This rule does not contain policies
associated with Federalism as that term
is defined under Executive Order 13132.
4. Pursuant to section 1762 of ECRA
(see 50 U.S.C. 4821), this action is
exempt from the Administrative
Procedure Act requirements (under 5
U.S.C. 553) for notice of proposed
rulemaking, opportunity for public
participation, and delay in effective
date. This rule only updates
Supplement No. 5 to Part 774 to the
EAR by extending the date of the period
of validity of 0D521 software in
Supplement No. 5 to Part 774 for one
year. This revision is merely technical
and in accordance with established
0Y521 ECCN series procedure and
purpose, which was proposed to the
public and subject of comment. This
rule clarifies information, which serves
to avoid confusing readers about the
0D521 item’s status. It does not alter any
right, obligation or prohibition that
applies to any person under the EAR.
5. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
A. Definitions of Excepted Foreign State
and Excepted Real Estate Foreign
State—Sections 800.218 and 802.214
On November 15, 2021, the
Department of the Treasury (Treasury
Department) published a proposed rule
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
731
amending the definitions of ‘‘excepted
foreign state’’ and ‘‘excepted real estate
foreign state’’ in 31 CFR part 800 and 31
CFR part 802, respectively. 86 FR 62978.
These terms operate together with other
relevant terms to provide an exception
from the jurisdiction of the Committee
on Foreign Investment in the United
States (CFIUS or the Committee) over
covered investments by certain foreign
persons who meet specific criteria
establishing sufficiently close ties to
certain foreign states, as well as certain
other provisions of the Foreign
Investment Risk Review Modernization
Act of 2018.
The preamble to the proposed rule
provides background on CFIUS’s
statutory authority and the rationale for
these definitional changes. The public
was provided an opportunity to
comment on the proposed rule and
comments were due by December 10,
2021. The Treasury Department
received two comments prior to the
deadline, which are described in the
next section.
B. Excepted Foreign States and
Excepted Real Estate Foreign States
As described in the preamble to the
proposed rule, ‘‘excepted foreign state’’
and ‘‘excepted real estate foreign state’’
are each defined by a two-criteria
conjunctive test, with delayed
effectiveness for the second criterion.
This second criterion is a Committee
determination under § 800.1001(a) for
each eligible foreign state that it has
established and ‘‘is effectively utilizing’’
a robust process to analyze foreign
investments for national security risks
and to facilitate coordination with the
United States on matters relating to
investment security, and a Committee
determination under § 802.1001(a) for
each eligible foreign state that it has
‘‘made significant progress’’ toward
establishing and effectively utilizing the
robust process that is described in
§ 800.1001. The final rule extends the
effectiveness of the second criterion
with respect to each definition. Instead
of becoming effective on February 13,
2022, each such second criterion will
become effective on February 13, 2023.
II. Summary of Comments
During the public comment period,
the Treasury Department received two
comments to the proposed rule. The
Treasury Department considered each
submitted comment. All comments
received by the end of the comment
period are available on the public
rulemaking docket at https://
www.regulations.gov and addressed
herein.

Export Control Classification Number 0Y521 Series Supplement--
Extension of Controls on an Emerging Technology (Software Specially
Designed To Automate the Analysis of Geospatial Imagery Classification)
AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Interim final rule; technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 6, 2020, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to add Software
Specially Designed to Automate the Analysis of Geospatial Imagery to
the 0Y521 Temporary Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) Series
as 0D521. BIS first extended controls on this emerging technology for a
second year pursuant to the 0Y521 series extension procedures on
January 6, 2021, and in this action extends these controls a second
time for an additional year for a total of three years of this control
since it was added to the EAR on January 6, 2020.
DATES: This rule is effective January 6, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aaron Amundson, Director, Information
Technology Division, Office of National Security and Technology
Transfer Controls, at email [email protected] or by phone at
(202) 482-5299.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 6, 2020, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) with an interim
final rule to add an emerging technology--Software Specially Designed
to Automate the Analysis of Geospatial Imagery--to the 0Y521 Temporary
Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) Series as 0D521. (85 FR
459, January 6, 2020). More specifically, the software was described as
Geospatial imagery ``software'' ``specially designed'' for training a
Deep Convolutional Neural Network to automate the analysis of
geospatial imagery and point clouds. The following year, BIS extended
that status for a year. (86 FR 461, January 6, 2021). These actions are
consistent with Section 1758 (50 U.S.C. 4801) of the Export Control
Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA), which requires the Department of Commerce to
establish appropriate controls on the export, reexport, or transfer
(in-country) of emerging and foundational technologies.
BIS established the ECCN 0Y521 series (April 13, 2012, 72 FR 22191)
to identify items that warrant control on the Commerce Control List
(CCL) but are not yet identified in an existing ECCN. Items in the
0Y521 series of ECCNs are added upon a determination by the Department
of Commerce, with the concurrence of the Departments of Defense and
State, and other agencies as appropriate, that the items warrant
control for export because the items may provide a significant military
or intelligence advantage to the United States or because foreign
policy reasons justify control. The ECCN 0Y521 series is a temporary
holding classification.
Under the procedures set forth in Section 742.6(a)(8)(iii) of the
EAR, items classified under ECCN 0Y521 remain so classified for one
year from the date they are listed in supplement no. 5 to part 774 of
the EAR, unless the items are re-classified under a different ECCN or
the 0Y521 classification is extended. BIS may extend an item's ECCN
0Y521 classification for two one-year periods, provided that the U.S.
Government has submitted a proposal to the relevant multilateral
regime(s) (e.g., the Wassenaar Arrangement) to obtain multilateral
controls over the item, with the understanding that multilateral
controls are preferable when practical. Further extension beyond three
years may occur only if the Under Secretary for Industry and Security
makes a determination that such extension is in the national security
or foreign policy interest of the United States. Any extension or re-
extension of control of an ECCN 0Y521 item, including the determination
by the Under Secretary, shall be published in the Federal Register.
In this action, BIS extends the status of an item classified under
a 0Y521 ECCN for a second time for an additional year, for a total of
three years of this control since it was added to the EAR on January 6,
2020, consistent with procedures that allow such an extension.
Specifically, in this case the U.S. Government submitted a proposal for
multilateral control of software specially designed to automate the
analysis of geospatial imagery, as described in the January 6, 2020
interim final rule and in ECCN 0D521, to the relevant multilateral
regime (the Wassenaar Arrangement) in a timely manner, within the first
year of the item's 0D521 classification. However, due to the pandemic,
the Wassenaar Arrangement did not formally convene in 2020 and
therefore was unable to consider acceptance of the proposal. Therefore,
BIS published the first extension of this 0Y521 control on January 6,
2021. However, the Wassenaar Arrangement's limited deliberations in
2021 due to the pandemic did not allow for sufficient discussion of
this proposal. An additional extension of time is appropriate in order
for the U.S. Government to continue its effort at the Wassenaar
Arrangement in 2022, and is consistent with the requirements of Section
1758(c) of ECRA.
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. 4801-
4852) that provides the legal basis for BIS's principal authorities and
serves as the authority under which BIS issues this rule.
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
[[Page 730]]
effects, distribute 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 interim final rule has been designated to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to, nor is 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 OMB
control number. This rule does not involve any collection of
information.
3. This rule does not contain policies associated with Federalism
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
4. Pursuant to section 1762 of ECRA (see 50 U.S.C. 4821), this
action is exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act requirements
(under 5 U.S.C. 553) for notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for
public participation, and delay in effective date. This rule only
updates Supplement No. 5 to Part 774 to the EAR by extending the date
of the period of validity of 0D521 software in Supplement No. 5 to Part
774 for one year. This revision is merely technical and in accordance
with established 0Y521 ECCN series procedure and purpose, which was
proposed to the public and subject of comment. This rule clarifies
information, which serves to avoid confusing readers about the 0D521
item's status. It does not alter any right, obligation or prohibition
that applies to any person under the EAR.
5. 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.

``specially designed'' for training under Sec.
a Deep Convolutional Neural Network 740.11(b)(2)(ii) only.
to automate the analysis of
geospatial imagery and point clouds,
and having all of the following:
1. Provides a graphical user
interface that enables the user to
identify objects (e.g., vehicles,
houses, etc.) from within geospatial
imagery and point clouds in order to
extract positive and negative
samples of an object of interest;
2. Reduces pixel variation by
performing scale, color, and
rotational normalization on the
positive samples;
3. Trains a Deep Convolutional Neural
Network to detect the object of
interest from the positive and
negative samples; and
4. Identifies objects in geospatial
imagery using the trained Deep
Convolutional Neural Network by
matching the rotational pattern from
the positive samples with the
rotational pattern of objects in the
geospatial imagery.
Technical Note: A point cloud is a
collection of data points defined by
a given coordinate system. A point
cloud is also known as a digital
surface model.
