[FR Doc. 2023–07841 Filed 4–12–23; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6335–01–P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Bureau of Industry and Security URAL Airlines JSC, Utrenniy Lane 1-g, Yekaterinburg, Russia 620025; Order Renewing Temporary Denial of Export Privileges Pursuant to section 766.24 of the Export Administration Regulations, 15 CFR parts 730–774 (2021) (‘‘EAR’’ or ‘‘the Regulations’’),1 I hereby grant the request of the Office of Export Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’) to renew the temporary denial order (‘‘TDO’’) issued in this matter on October 13, 2022. I find that renewal of this order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the Regulations. I. Procedural History On October 13, 2022, I signed an order denying URAL Airlines JSC (‘‘URAL’’) export privileges for a period of 180 days on the ground that issuance lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 1 On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which includes the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, 50 U.S.C. 4801–4852 (‘‘ECRA’’). While section 1766 of ECRA repeals the provisions of the Export Administration Act, 50 U.S.C. app. 2401 et seq. (‘‘EAA’’) (except for three sections which are inapplicable here), section 1768 of ECRA provides, in pertinent part, that all orders, rules, regulations, and other forms of administrative action that were made or issued under the EAA, including as continued in effect pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. (‘‘IEEPA’’), and were in effect as of ECRA’s date of enactment (August 13, 2018), shall continue in effect according to their terms until modified, superseded, set aside, or revoked through action undertaken pursuant to the authority provided under ECRA. Moreover, section 1761(a)(5) of ECRA authorizes the issuance of temporary denial orders. 50 U.S.C. 4820(a)(5). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:56 Apr 12, 2023 Jkt 259001 of the order was necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the Regulations. The order was issued ex parte pursuant to section 766.24(a) of the Regulations and was effective upon issuance.2 On March 7, 2023, BIS, through OEE, submitted a written request for renewal of the TDO that issued on October 13, 2022. The written request was made more than 20 days before the TDO’s scheduled expiration. A copy of the renewal request was sent to URAL in accordance with sections 766.5 and 766.24(d) of the Regulations. No opposition to the renewal of the TDO has been received. II. Renewal of the TDO A. Legal Standard Pursuant to section 766.24, BIS may issue an order temporarily denying a respondent’s export privileges upon a showing that the order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an ‘‘imminent violation’’ of the Regulations, or any order, license or authorization issued thereunder. 15 CFR 766.24(b)(1) and 766.24(d). ‘‘A violation may be ‘imminent’ either in time or degree of likelihood.’’ 15 CFR 766.24(b)(3). BIS may show ‘‘either that a violation is about to occur, or that the general circumstances of the matter under investigation or case under criminal or administrative charges demonstrate a likelihood of future violations.’’ Id. As to the likelihood of future violations, BIS may show that the violation under investigation or charge ‘‘is significant, deliberate, covert and/or likely to occur again, rather than technical or negligent[.]’’ Id. A ‘‘lack of information establishing the precise time a violation may occur does not preclude a finding that a violation is imminent, so long as there is sufficient reason to believe the likelihood of a violation.’’ Id. B. The TDO and BIS’s Request for Renewal The U.S. Commerce Department, through BIS, responded to the Russian Federation’s (‘‘Russia’s’’) further invasion of Ukraine by implementing a sweeping series of stringent export controls that severely restrict Russia’s access to technologies and other items that it needs to sustain its aggressive military capabilities. These controls primarily target Russia’s defense, aerospace, and maritime sectors and are intended to cut off Russia’s access to vital technological inputs, atrophy key sectors of its industrial base, and 2 The TDO was published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2022 (87 FR 63477). PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 undercut Russia’s strategic ambitions to exert influence on the world stage. Effective February 24, 2022, BIS imposed expansive controls on aviationrelated (e.g., Commerce Control List Categories 7 and 9) items to Russia, including a license requirement for the export, reexport or transfer (in-country) to Russia of any aircraft or aircraft parts specified in Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 9A991 (section 746.8(a)(1) of the EAR).3 BIS will review any export or reexport license applications for such items under a policy of denial. See section 746.8(b). Effective March 2, 2022, BIS excluded any aircraft registered in, owned, or controlled by, or under charter or lease by Russia or a national of Russia from being eligible for license exception Aircraft, Vessels, and Spacecraft (AVS) (section 740.15 of the EAR).4 Accordingly, any U.S.-origin aircraft or foreign aircraft that includes more than 25% controlled U.S.-origin content, and that is registered in, owned, or controlled by, or under charter or lease by Russia or a national of Russia, is subject to a license requirement before it can travel to Russia. OEE’s request for renewal is based upon the facts underlying the issuance of the initial TDO and the evidence developed over the course of this investigation, which indicate a blatant disregard for U.S. export controls, as well as the TDO. Specifically, the initial TDO, issued on October 13, 2022, was based on evidence that URAL engaged in conduct prohibited by the Regulations by operating aircraft subject to the EAR and classified under ECCN 9A991 on flights into Russia after March 2, 2022 from destinations, including Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan; Dushanbe, Tajikistan; Khudzhand, Tajikistan; and Tamchy, Kyrgyzstan, without the required BIS authorization.5 Further evidence submitted by BIS indicated that URAL was continuing to operate aircraft subject to the EAR domestically 3 87 FR 12226 (Mar. 3, 2022). Additionally, BIS published a final rule effective April 8, 2022, which imposed licensing requirements on items controlled on the Commerce Control List (‘‘CCL’’) under Categories 0–2 that are destined for Russia or Belarus. Accordingly, now all CCL items require export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) licenses if destined for or within Russia or Belarus. 87 FR 22130 (Apr. 14, 2022). 4 87 FR 13048 (Mar. 8, 2022). 5 Publicly available flight tracking information shows multiple flights into Russia, including the following: on September 10, 2022, SN 5055 flew from Dushanbe, Tajikistan to Irkutsk, Russia, and on September 6, 2022, SN 5055 flew from Khudzhand, Tajikistan to Sochi, Russia. In addition, on October 6, 2022, serial number (SN) 5055 flew from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to Samara, Russia. E:\FR\FM\13APN1.SGM 13APN1
