Bureau of Industry and Security June 5, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding twenty-six persons under thirty-one entries to the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744). The persons who are added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. These persons will be listed on the Entity List under the destinations of China, Hong Kong, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). There are thirty-one entries for twenty- six persons because five persons are listed under multiple countries, resulting in the additional five entries. Specifically, those five additional entries cover two persons in Lebanon who also have addresses in the U.A.E., and three persons in Hong Kong who also have addresses in China. In addition to the Entity List changes described above, this final rule updates the authority for part 730 (15 CFR part 730) because of the publication of the Notice of May 7, 2014, Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Actions of the Government of Syria, which resulted in a change to the legal authority for part 730 of the EAR.
