License Requirements Policy for Iran and for Certain Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferators
This rule revises and clarifies the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) provisions that apply specifically to Iran in order to promote consistency, reduce redundancy and clarify the role of the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) in connection with the implementation of United States export control policy towards Iran. It establishes a new license requirement for reexports of items classified under ten Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) that previously did not require a license for reexport to Iran under the EAR. This rule also imposes license requirements on parties who have been listed as proliferators of weapons of mass destruction or as supporters of such proliferators pursuant to Executive Order 13382. BIS is making these changes to provide greater clarity and consistency with respect to policies towards Iran and to harmonize BIS license requirements with Department of the Treasury license requirements regarding proliferators of weapons of mass destruction.
Burma: Revision of Restrictions on Exports, Reexports and Transfers to Persons Whose Property and Interests in Property Are Blocked Pursuant to Executive Orders
In response to the Government of Burma's continued repression of the democratic opposition in Burma, and consistent with Executive Order 13047 of May 20, 1997, Executive Order 13310 of July 28, 2003, Executive Order 13448 of October 18, 2007, and the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act (Title IX of Pub. L. 106-387), the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) previously amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) on October 24, 2007 to impose a license requirement for most exports, reexports, or transfers of items subject to the EAR to persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to those Executive Orders. In light of the Government of Burma's continued repression of the democratic opposition in Burma and unwillingness to respond to the calls of the Burmese people for genuine dialogue that will lead to a democratic transition in Burma, this final rule amends the EAR to extend these existing licensing requirements to persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13464 of April 30, 2008.
Request for Public Comment on Foreign Produced Encryption Items That Are Made From U.S.-Origin Encryption Technology or Software
To determine the appropriate extent and scope of U.S. export controls on foreign products that are the direct products of U.S.- origin encryption technology or software, BIS is seeking information on the potential impact of controlling such foreign made items for Encryption Items (``EI'') reasons under the EAR (i.e., those that are classified under ECCN 5A002 or 5D002) if the direct product of U.S.- origin ECCN 5E002 technology or ECCN 5D002 software. Specifically, BIS is requesting comments regarding the impact this control would have on both U.S. exporters of encryption technology and software and foreign manufacturers of products that are derived in whole or in part from U.S.-origin encryption technology or software.
Request for Public Comments on the Effects of Export Controls on Decisions To Use or Not Use U.S.-Origin Parts and Components in Commercial Products and the Effects of Such Decisions
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is seeking public comment on whether U.S. export controls influence manufacturers' decisions to use or not use U.S.-origin parts and components in commercial products and the effects of such decisions. BIS is interested in obtaining specific information about whether such a practice occurs, and if so, its economic effects in order to assess the effectiveness of export controls as well as the impact of export controls on the U.S. economy.
