Effects of Foreign Policy-Based Export Controls
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is reviewing the foreign policy-based export controls in the Export Administration Regulations to determine whether they should be modified, rescinded or extended. To help make these determinations, BIS is seeking comments on how existing foreign policy-based export controls have affected exporters and the general public.
Cuba: Revisions to Gift Parcel and Baggage Restrictions, Creation of License Exception for Donated Consumer Communications Devices and Expansion of Licensing Policy Regarding Telecommunications
This rule revises two existing License Exceptions concerning exports and reexports of gift parcels to Cuba and of personal baggage taken by individuals leaving the United States for travel to Cuba. It also creates a new License Exception authorizing the export and reexport to Cuba of certain donated consumer communications devices, including certain computers and software, mobile phones, and satellite receivers. Finally, this rule revises the scope of existing licensing policy regarding certain telecommunications links including satellite radio and satellite television services. These actions are among those directed by the President on April 13, 2009 to enhance the free flow of information to and from Cuba and to promote contacts between Americans and their relatives who reside in Cuba as a means of encouraging positive change in Cuba and are consistent with the ongoing support the United States has provided to individuals and nongovernmental organizations that support democracy-building efforts in Cuba. These actions do not suspend or terminate the United States embargo of Cuba.
Revisions to Certain End-User Controls Under the Export Administration Regulations; Clarification Regarding License Requirements for Transfers (in-country) to Persons Listed on the Entity List
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to make revisions to three sections that are used by the United States Government as the basis for placing persons onto the Entity List. These three sections specified license requirements for exports and reexports to persons listed on the Entity List, however; the sections were silent regarding whether or not the scope of the licensing requirements included transfers (in- country). This rule adds transfers (in-country) to the scope of the license requirements under each of the three sections. As a result of adding transfers (in-country) to these three end-user controls, all of the end-use and end-user controls that are used as a regulatory basis for placing persons on the Entity List now specify that the scope of the license requirements includes exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country).
