ACTION: Correcting amendment.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) published a rule in the
SUMMARY:
Federal Register on October 17, 2023,
that amended the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) to revise the existing
Validated End-User (VEU) list for the
People’s Republic of China (PRC) for
Samsung China Semiconductor Co. Ltd.
and SK hynix Semiconductor (China)
Ltd. That rule inadvertently omitted two
amendments to the list of VEUs, which
resulted in failure to add a word to the
description of eligible items for SK
Hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd.; as
well as the failure to remove the entry
for SK hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi),
which was necessary because SK hynix
Semiconductor (Wuxi) recently merged
with SK hynix Semiconductor (China)
Ltd. This rule corrects both omissions.
DATES: This rule is effective November
8, 2023.

Administration Regulations (EAR) to
revise the existing Validated End-User
(VEU) list for the People’s Republic of
China (PRC) for Samsung China
Semiconductor Co. Ltd. and SK hynix
Semiconductor (China)) Ltd.
This rule corrects for two
inadvertently omitted amendments to
update the list of VEUs: the first
correction adds a word to the
description of eligible items for SK
Hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd.; and
the second removes the entry for SK
hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi) Ltd.,
which recently merged with SK hynix
Semiconductor (China) Ltd., thereby
making the entry for SK hynix
Semiconductor (Wuxi) Ltd. duplicative.
