Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR): Control of Military Electronic Equipment and Other Items the President Determines No Longer Warrant Control Under the United States Munitions List (USML)
Document Number: 2014-14683
Type: Rule
Date: 2014-07-01
Agency: Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security
This final rule adds to the Commerce Control List military electronics, technology and software for certain wing folding systems, certain superconducting and cryogenic equipment, and related items the President determines no longer warrant control under the United States Munitions List (USML). This also amends ECCNs 7A006 and 7A106 to apply the ``missile technology'' reason for control only to items in those ECCNs on the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex. This rule is being published simultaneously with a Department of State rule that amends the list of articles controlled by USML Category XI to control only those articles the President has determined warrant control in that category of the USML. Both rules are part of the President's Export Control Reform Initiative. The revisions in this rule also are part of the Department of Commerce's retrospective plan under EO 13563 completed in August 2011.
Civil Uses of Certain Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Power Amplifiers, Discrete Microwave Transistors and Bi-Static and Multi-Static Radar
Document Number: 2014-14682
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2014-07-01
Agency: Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security
This notice of inquiry requests comments that cite specific examples of civil uses of certain MMIC power amplifiers and discrete microwave transistors, both of which operate at frequencies exceeding 2.7 GHz, and (3) bi-static/multi-static radar that exploits greater than 125 kHz bandwidth and is lower than 2 GHz center frequency to passively detect or track using radio frequency (RF) transmissions (e.g., commercial radio or television stations). The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is requesting this information because several comments on rules recently published by the Departments of State and Commerce made claims that civil applications for these types of commodities exist or soon will be developed. However, the commenters did not provide specific examples of such applications. BIS is seeking specific examples to assess whether it should propose to the Departments of State and Defense further amendments to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) as part of the Administration's Export Control Reform Initiative.
