SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the EAR (15 CFR 
parts 730-774)) identifies entities for which there is reasonable cause 
to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that the entities 
have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being 
or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or 
foreign policy interests of the United States, pursuant to Sec.  
744.11(b). The EAR impose additional license requirements on, and limit 
the availability of, most license exceptions for exports, reexports, 
and transfers (in-country) where a listed entity is a party to the 
transaction. 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 that adds the entity to the 
Entity List. The Bureau of Industry and Security (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

    The ERC determined to add Chengdu Beizhan Electronics Co. Ltd., to 
the Entity List under the destination of China for acquiring and 
attempting to acquire U.S.-origin items on behalf of the University of 
Electronic Science and Technology, an entity on the BIS Entity List. 
These activities are contrary to U.S. national security and foreign 
policy interests under Sec.  744.11 of the EAR. This entity is added 
with a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR. The entity 
is added with a license review policy of a presumption of denial.
    The ERC determined to add Sandvine Incorporated, under the 
destinations of Canada, India, Japan, Malaysia, Sweden, and the United 
Arab Emirates to the Entity List. This addition is being made based on 
information that Sandvine supplies deep packet inspection technology to 
the Government of Egypt, where it is used in mass web-monitoring and 
censorship to block news as well as target political actors and human 
rights activists. These activities are contrary to the national 
security and foreign policy interests of the United States under Sec.  
744.11 of the EAR. These entities are added with a license requirement 
for all items subject to the EAR. They are added with a license review 
policy of a presumption of denial.
    For the reasons described above, this final rule adds the following 
2 entities under 7 entries to the Entity List and includes, where 
appropriate, aliases:
Canada
     Sandvine Incorporated.
China
     Chengdu Beizhan Electronics Co., Ltd.
India
     Sandvine Incorporated.
Japan
     Sandvine Incorporated.
Malaysia
     Sandvine Incorporated.
Sweden
     Sandvine Incorporated.
United Arab Emirates
     Sandvine Incorporated.

Modifications to the Entity List

    This final rule implements the decision of the ERC to modify two 
existing entries on the Entity List, both under the destination of 
China. The ERC determined to revise the entry for Beijing China 
Aviation Technology Co., Ltd., by adding an alias to the entry for a 
total of five aliases. In addition, the ERC determined to revise the 
entry for Rayscience Optoelectronics Innovation Co., Ltd., to add one 
alias and one additional address.

Removal From the Entity List

    The ERC determined to remove Jazirah Aviation Club under the 
destination of the UAE from the Entity List based on the review the ERC 
conducted in accordance with the procedures described in supplement no. 
5 to part 744 of the EAR.

Savings Clause

    For the changes being made in this final rule, shipments of items 
removed from eligibility for a License Exception or export, reexport, 
or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) as a result of this 
regulatory action that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of 
export, reexport, or transfer (in-country), on February 27, 2024, 
pursuant to actual orders for export, reexport, or transfer (in-
country) to or within a foreign destination, may proceed to that 
destination under the previous eligibility for a License Exception or 
export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) 
before March 28, 2024. Any such items not actually exported, reexported 
or transferred (in-country) before midnight, on March 28, 2024, require 
a license in accordance with this final rule.

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). ECRA provides the legal basis for BIS's principal authorities 
and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this rule.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes 
of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to or 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 regulation involves 
collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088, 
Simplified Network Application Processing System, which includes, among 
other things, license applications and commodity classifications, and 
carries a burden estimate of 29.4 minutes for a manual or electronic 
submission for a total burden estimate of 33,133 hours. Total burden 
hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 are not

[[Page 14405]]

expected to increase as a result of this rule.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications 
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. Pursuant to Sec.  1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, 
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.
    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.
