Bureau of Industry and Security April 18, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement additional changes to the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to part 744) on the basis of the annual review of the Entity List conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC). The ERC conducts the annual review to determine if any entities on the Entity List should be removed or modified. This rule implements the results of the annual review for entities located in Iran and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). In addition to implementing changes from the annual review, this rule removes one person located in the United Kingdom (U.K.) from the Entity List. This person is being removed from the Entity List as a result of a request for removal submitted by that person, a review of information provided in the removal request in accordance with section 744.16 (Procedure for requesting removal or modification of an Entity List entity), and further review conducted by the End-User Review Committee's (ERC) member agencies. This rule makes a clarification to an existing entry located in China to accurately reflect the relationship between two aliases listed under that entry. The Entity List provides notice to the public that certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to entities identified on the Entity List require a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions is limited. Lastly, this rule updates the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) legal authority citations for parts 730 and 744 of the EAR.
