Addition of `Military End User' (MEU) List to the Export 
Administration Regulations and Addition of Entities to the MEU List

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 
amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding a new 
`Military End User' (MEU) List that includes the first tranche of 
entities. The U.S. Government has determined that these entities are 
`military end users' for purposes of the `military end user' control in 
the EAR that applies to specified items for exports, reexports, or 
transfers (in-country) to the People's Republic of China (China), 
Russia, and Venezuela when such items are destined for a `military end 
user.' The existing `military end-use' and `military end user' controls 
under the EAR, including BIS's authority to inform the public of a 
license requirement for an item due to an unacceptable risk of 
diversion to a `military end user' via amendment to the EAR, are 
essential for protecting U.S. national security interests. The addition 
of the new MEU List via amendment to the EAR and this first tranche of 
entities is also responsive to requests received from the public. This 
final rule will add one hundred and two `military end users' to the MEU 
List consisting of fifty-seven under China and forty-five under Russia. 
However, the establishment of the MEU List does not imply that other 
parties, not included on the list, are not subject to the `military 
end-use' and `military end user' controls under the EAR.

DATES: This rule is effective December 23, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the 
Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding the new `military end 
user' list as supplement no. 7 to part 744--Military End User (MEU) 
List. This final rule also adds the first tranche of entities to this 
new list. This final rule will add one hundred and two `military end 
users' to the MEU List consisting of fifty-seven military end users in 
China and forty-five in Russia. These entities have been determined by 
the U.S. Government to be `military end users,' and therefore exports, 
reexports, or transfers (in-country) of the designated items to these 
parties are exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) to the 
national armed services (army, navy, marine, air force, or coast 
guard), the national guard, the national police, government 
intelligence or reconnaissance organizations, or a person or entity 
whose actions or functions are intended to support `military end-uses' 
as defined in Sec.  744.21(f).
    Section 744.21(a) sets forth a license requirement to exports, 
reexports, or transfers (in-country) identified in supplement no. 2 to 
part 744 to China, Russia, and Venezuela, when the exporter, 
reexporter, or transferor has ``knowledge'' that the item is destined 
for a `military end use' (as defined in Sec.  744.21(f)) or `military 
end user' (as defined in Sec.  744.21(g)). Additionally, pursuant to 
Sec.  744.21(b), BIS may inform persons that a license is required for 
the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of any item because 
there is an unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to such an end use 
or end user. With the creation of the MEU List described below, BIS `is 
informing' exporters, reexporters, and transferors that a license will 
be required to export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) any item 
described in supplement no. 2 to part 744 to these `military end users' 
that will be identified on the new MEU List.
    This rule does not change the scope of Sec.  744.21. The addition 
of the new MEU List in supplement no. 7 to part 744 and this initial 
tranche of one hundred and two `military end users' is part of the 
Sec.  744.21(b) `is informed' process and does not imply that other 
parties, not included on the list, are not subject to the prohibition 
in Sec.  744.21(a). Adding the new MEU List via an amendment to the EAR 
is an effective way for BIS to inform all potential exporters, 
reexporters, and transferors that all exports, reexports, or transfers 
(in-country) of designated items to these entities represent an 
unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to a `military end use' or a 
`military end user' for purposes of Sec.  744.21, and therefore require 
a license. All of the one hundred and two entities added to the MEU 
List in today's final rule are `military end users' within the 
definition of Sec.  744.21(g), and were thus already subject to the 
`military end use' and `military end user' requirements under Sec.  
744.21. Prior to this final rule, exporters, reexporters, or 
transferors were responsible for identifying these entities as 
`military end users' themselves, assuming they were not otherwise 
individually informed pursuant to the `is informed' process under Sec.  
744.21(b). Exporters, reexporters, or transferors will still be 
responsible for ensuring their transactions are in compliance with the 
license requirements set forth in Sec.  744.21 because BIS cannot list 
every `military end user' or party representing a risk of diversion 
thereto in the MEU List, or identify all situations which could lead to 
an item being used for a `military end use.' The determinations that 
certain entities are `military end users' are only relevant to the 
stated EAR controls and do not apply to exports, reexports, or 
transfers subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) 
or other controls.
    The addition of the new MEU list and this first tranche of one 
hundred and two entities is also responsive to requests received from 
the public and draws upon decisions made by BIS in reviewing license 
applications under Sec.  744.21. Specifically, exporters, reexporters, 
or transferors requested in numerous advisory opinions received by BIS 
on the application of Sec.  744.21 since April 28, 2020, as well as 
from BIS's TACs, that BIS identify `military end users' by name and 
address in the regulations, where possible, to facilitate compliance. 
For example, BIS has received over 80 advisory opinions and emailed 
requests for guidance on the April 28 MEU rule, including requests 
asking whether 34 specific entities are considered `military end users' 
for purposes of Sec.  744.21. In addition, since the revisions to the 
MEU provisions became effective on June 29, 2020 (the date the April 
28, 2020 final rule (85 FR 23459) that expanded the `military end-use' 
and `military end-user' control under Sec.  744.21), there have been 
several hundred license applications filed under Sec.  744.21 (MEU 
license applications).
    BIS interacts with various exporters, reexporters, or transferors 
who may provide information on potential `military end users' in 
license applications or requests for advisory opinions submitted to 
BIS, as well as the additional information resources available to the 
U.S. Government; therefore, as specified in Sec.  744.21(b),

[[Page 83794]]

when BIS identifies an entity as a `military end user,' it may use the 
`is informed' process to publish Federal Register notices adding these 
`military end users' to the new MEU List under supplement no. 7 to part 
744. BIS agrees that identifying `military end users' on the MEU List, 
where possible, will ease the public's compliance burden and make for a 
more effective `military end use' and `end user' control under Sec.  
744.21.
    The issuance of a separate public list in the EAR identifying 
parties previously listed in `is informed' letters or for whom licenses 
were denied due to their status as a `military end user' under the EAR 
is desirable because individual `is informed' letters, licensing 
determinations for specific transactions, and BIS responses to advisory 
opinion and email requests are private and confidential to the 
requester. Publishing a list of parties that already have been 
determined to be `military end-users' allows the public to be informed 
of BIS's determinations in these individual cases. Therefore, the most 
practical and effective approach is to publish a Federal Register 
notice adding these `military end users' to the MEU List, so all 
potential exporters, reexporters, or transferors are informed 
simultaneously.
    As described below, BIS is also amending the EAR to provide clarity 
on the process it follows to add entities to the MEU List, to ensure 
consistent treatment of those parties, and to allow listed parties to 
request removal from the list. The initial list of `military end users' 
being added to the MEU List in today's rule is not exhaustive, and 
exporters, reexporters, and transferors must still conduct due 
diligence for parties not on the list (see Sec.  744.21(b) and 
supplement no. 3 to part 732--BIS's ``Know Your Customer'' Guidance and 
Red Flags). As a result, compliance remains the obligation of the 
exporter, reexporter or transferor. Exclusion from the MEU list is not 
indicative of whether or not a license is required. For example, 
parties not listed on the MEU List in this final rule, but included on 
the lists made public pursuant to Section 1237 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 1999, 50 U.S.C. 1701 note, would raise 
a Red Flag under the EAR and would require additional due diligence by 
the exporter, reexporter, or transferor to determine whether a license 
is required under Sec.  744.21. Additional parties may be added to or 
deleted from the MEU List pursuant to a determination made by the End-
User Review Committee (ERC) as described below.

EAR Changes To Add MEU List

    In Sec.  744.21 (Restrictions on certain `military end use' or 
`military end user' in the People's Republic of China, Russia, or 
Venezuela), this final rule revises paragraph (b) (Additional 
prohibition on those informed by BIS) by adding a new paragraph (b)(1) 
(Military End-User' (MEU) List). Under new paragraph (b)(1), this final 
rule specifies that BIS may designate entities subject to the 
additional prohibition under paragraph (b) based on a determination by 
the ERC that the entity is a `military end user,' and thus inform the 
public that those entities are subject to the license requirements 
under paragraph (b). New paragraph (b)(1) specifies that these 
`military end users' will be added to the MEU List in supplement no. 7 
to part 744 in Federal Register notices published by BIS. The 
introductory text of paragraph (b)(1) also reaffirms that the listing 
of entities in supplement no. 7 to part 744 is not an exhaustive 
listing of `military end users' or entities engaged in `military end 
uses' and specifies that exporters, reexporters, or transferors must 
still conduct their own due diligence for entities not identified on 
the MEU List to determine whether a license in necessary pursuant to 
the criteria set forth in Sec.  744.21.
    This final rule adds new paragraph (b)(1)(i) (End-User Review 
Committee), in Sec.  744.21, to identify the member agencies of the 
End-User Review Committee (ERC) and to specify the role the ERC will 
play in determining what entities should be added to MEU List, as well 
as approving any modifications or removals that may be warranted to the 
MEU List after entities are added. This final rule clarifies in new 
paragraph (b)(1)(i) that decisions by the ERC for purposes of the MEU 
List will be made following the procedures identified in Sec.  744.21 
and in supplement no. 5 to part 744--Procedures for End-User Review 
Committee Entity List and `Military End-User' (MEU) List Decisions. The 
ERC is an existing interagency group that also makes determinations for 
the Entity List in supplement no. 4 to part 744 as described in Sec.  
744.16 and in supplement no. 5 to part 744. Because of the ERC's 
expertise in dealing with end users of concern, BIS determined it was 
warranted to expand the ERC's area of responsibility for parties of 
concern to also include determinations for the new MEU List.
    This final rule adds new paragraph (b)(1)(ii) (License 
requirement), in Sec.  744.21, to specify the license requirements that 
apply for entities listed in supplement no. 7 to part 744. This final 
rule specifies that a license is required to export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) any item listed in supplement no. 2 to part 744 
to entities identified on the MEU List, which is in addition to the 
license requirement applicable to such items intended for any `military 
end user' or `military end use' in China, Russia, or Venezuela which 
are not on the MEU List, as described in Sec.  744.21(a). BIS is 
exercising its authority under Sec.  744.21(b) to inform exporters, 
reexporters, and transferors that entities on the MEU List are 
`military end users' for purposes of Sec.  744.21, and thus exports, 
reexports, or transfers (in country) of the specified items to those 
entities require a license because they represent an unacceptable risk 
of use in or diversion to a `military end use' or `military end user' 
in China, Russia, or Venezuela. This final rule under paragraph 
(b)(1)(ii) also clarifies the scope of the license requirement in Sec.  
744.21(b), by specifying that it applies when an entity that is listed 
on the MEU List is a party to the transaction as described in Sec.  
748.5(c) through (f) of any item listed in supplement no. 2 to part 
744.
    This final rule specifies in the introductory text of supplement 
no. 7 to part 744 that no EAR license exceptions are available for 
exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) to listed entities on the 
MEU List for items specified in supplement no. 2 to part 744, except 
license exceptions for items authorized under the provisions of License 
Exception GOV set forth in Sec.  740.11(b)(2)(i) and (ii) as specified 
in Sec.  744.21(c).
    This final rule clarifies in the introductory text of supplement 
no. 7 to part 744 that license applications for entities listed on the 
MEU list will be subject to the license application procedure and 
license review standards specified in paragraphs (d) and (e) of Sec.  
744.21.
    This final rule adds a new paragraph (b)(2) (Requests for removal 
from or modification for `Military End User' (MEU) List), in Sec.  
744.21, to specify the process and method for any entity listed on the 
MEU List to request that its listing be removed or modified. In the 
introductory text of new paragraph (b)(2), this final rule specifies 
that any listed MEU entity may submit a removal or modification 
request. The introductory text of paragraph (b)(2) specifies these 
requests must be submitted to the ERC at the address provided. If an 
entity listed on the MEU List wants to petition BIS for its removal or 
modification, the entity must address the criteria in Sec.  744.21 of 
the EAR by addressing, as applicable, why the

[[Page 83795]]

entity is not a `military end user' or involved in `military end-uses.'
    This final rule adds a new paragraph (b)(2)(i) (Review), in Sec.  
744.21, to specify that the ERC will review such requests in accordance 
with the procedures set forth in supplement no. 5 to part 744, which is 
also consistent with the process for requesting removal or modification 
of Entity List entries.
    The final rule adds a new paragraph (b)(2)(ii) (BIS action), in 
Sec.  744.21, to specify how an entity that has submitted a removal or 
modification request will be notified in writing by the Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Export Administration once the decision on the 
request is made. This paragraph (b)(2)(ii) also specifies that the BIS 
decision will be the final agency action on the request.
    In Sec.  756.2 (Appeal from an Administrative Action), as a 
conforming change for the addition of paragraph (b)(2) in Sec.  744.21, 
this final rule adds that decisions on requests to remove or modify a 
MEU List entry to the list of administrative actions are not subject to 
part 756 appeals under paragraph (a)(3). Paragraph (a)(3) also 
specifies that requests for removals of modifications from the Entity 
List and Unverified List are not subject to part 756 appeals, so adding 
the MEU List to this paragraph will create consistent treatment under 
this section for these three EAR lists.
    This final rule adds new supplement no. 7 to part 744--`Military 
End User' (MEU) List. As described in detail above, the MEU List 
identifies entities that have been determined by the ERC to be 
`military end users' pursuant to Sec.  744.21 of the EAR. That section 
imposes additional license requirements on, and limits the availability 
of most license exceptions for, exports, reexports, and transfers (in-
country) to listed entities on the MEU List, as specified in supplement 
no. 7 to part 744 and Sec.  744.21. Entities will be listed on the new 
MEU List under the destinations of China, Russia, or Venezuela.
    The license review policy for each listed entity is identified in 
the introductory text of supplement no. 7 to part 744 and in Sec.  
744.21(b) and (e). The new MEU List includes introductory text, which 
specifies the scope of the license requirements, limitations on the use 
of EAR license exceptions, and the license review policy that applies 
to the entities. These requirements are also reflected in Sec.  744.21, 
but for ease of reference, this final rule also includes these in the 
introductory text of the supplement. The MEU List consists of three 
columns: Column 1 (Country) identifies the three countries where 
entities may be listed (China, Russia, Venezuela); column 2 (Entity) 
identifies the names and addresses of the entities; and column 3 
(Federal Register citation) identifies the Federal Register citation 
for final rules that added or modified entities on the MEU List. Unlike 
the Entity List, the license requirements and license review policy are 
the same for all MEU entities, so there is no need to include those 
columns in the MEU List. Instead, that information is specified in the 
introductory text of supplement no. 7 to part 744 and in Sec.  744.21.
    This final rule revises existing supplement no. 5 to part 744 
(Procedures For End-User Review Committee Entity List Decisions), as a 
conforming change to add references to the new MEU List in supplement 
no. 7 to part 744. This final rule also makes other minor conforming 
changes to supplement no. 5 to part 744 to account for ERC decisions 
for additions, removals and modifications of MEU List entries, 
including revising the title of the supplement to reference the MEU 
List and clarifying the process for how the ERC reviews the Entity List 
for making modifications by removing a reference to annual reviews and 
simply stating the ERC reviews the Entity List and the MEU List 
regularly for identifying needed modifications. This final rule does 
not make any substantive changes to the ERC procedures, except for 
expanding the scope of ERC responsibility and procedures, so they also 
apply to additions, removals and modifications of MEU List entries.

Addition of First Tranche of `Military End Users'

    As described above, the ERC, composed of representatives of the 
Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where 
appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions regarding additions to, 
removals from, or other modifications to the MEU List in supplement no. 
7 to part 744. The ERC make all decisions to add an entry to the MEU 
List by majority vote and all decisions to remove or modify an entry by 
unanimous vote.

Additions to the MEU List

    Under Sec.  744.21(b) of the EAR, BIS may inform persons either 
individually by specific notice, through amendment to the EAR published 
in the Federal Register, or through a separate notice published in the 
Federal Register, that a license is required for specific exports, 
reexports, or transfers (in-country) of any item because there is an 
unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to a `military end use' or 
`military end user' in China, Russia, or Venezuela. Under Sec.  
744.21(b)(1) of the EAR, BIS may designate entities subject to this 
additional prohibition under paragraph (b) that have been determined by 
the ERC to be a `military end user' pursuant to Sec.  744.21. These 
entities will be added to supplement no. 7 to part 744 (`Military End 
User' (MEU) List) in Federal Register notices published by BIS.
    This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add one hundred and 
two entities to the MEU List. These one hundred and two entities will 
be listed on the MEU List under the destinations of China and Russia, 
and a reserved category for Venezuela will also be added to the MEU 
List. The ERC made the decision to add each of the one hundred and two 
entities described below under the standard set forth in Sec.  744.21 
of the EAR, including the criteria for what constitutes a `military end 
user' under paragraph (g) and `military end use' under paragraph (f).
    The ERC determined to add the fifty-seven entities identified 
below, under the destination of China, because the ERC has determined 
these entities are `military end users' based on the criteria in Sec.  
744.21(g) and (f).
    The ERC determined to add the forty-five entities identified below, 
under the destination of Russia, because the ERC has determined these 
entities are `military end users' based on the criteria in Sec.  
744.21(g) and (f).
    No license exceptions are available for exports, reexports, or 
transfers (in-country) to listed entities on the MEU List for items 
specified in supplement no. 2 to part 744, except license exceptions 
for items authorized under the provisions of License Exception GOV set 
forth in Sec.  740.11(b)(2)(i) and (ii) of the EAR.
    For the one hundred and two entities added to the MEU List by this 
rule, BIS imposes a license review policy of a presumption of denial as 
set forth in Sec.  744.21(e).
    The acronym ``a.k.a.'' (also known as) is used in entries on the 
MEU List to identify aliases, thereby assisting exporters, reexporters, 
and transferors in identifying entities on the MEU List.
    For the reasons described above, this final rule adds the following 
one hundred and two entities to the MEU List:

Venezuela
    This final rule adds and reserves a blank entry listing Venezuela 
in the Country column, but does not add any `military end users' to the 
MEU List under Venezuela at this time. This final rule clarifies here 
that for purposes of Sec.  744.21, entities of the U.S.-recognized 
interim government of Venezuela are not considered `military end users' 
or engaged in `military end uses' for purposes of the EAR.

Savings Clause

    Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception 
or export or reexport without a license (NLR) as a result of this 
regulatory action that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of 
export or reexport, on December 23, 2020, pursuant to actual orders for 
export or reexport to a foreign destination, may proceed to that 
destination under the previous

eligibility for a License Exception or export or reexport without a 
license (NLR).

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which 
included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA)(codified, as 
amended, at 50 U.S.C. Sections 4801-4852). ECRA provides the legal 
basis for BIS's principal authorities and serves as the authority under 
which BIS issues this rule.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive 
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility. This rule has been determined to be not significant for 
purposes of Executive Order 12866. This rule is not an Executive Order 
13771 regulatory action because this rule is not significant under 
Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to 
comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA), 
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This regulation involves 
collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088, 
Simplified Network Application Processing System, which includes, among 
other things, license applications and carries a burden estimate of 
42.5 minutes for a manual or electronic submission, and OMB control 
number 0694-0134, Entity List and Unverified List Requests. Total 
burden hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 
are not expected to increase as a result of this rule, but are expected 
to slightly increase under OMB control number 0694-0134 because of the 
estimated thirteen removal or modification requests for the MEU List 
that BIS may receive each year. Each removal or modification request is 
estimated to impose a burden of 15 hours, so 15 x 13 is estimated to 
result in a burden increase of 195 hours under OMB control number 0694-
0134.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. Pursuant to section 1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of 
2018 (50 U.S.C. 4801-4852), this action is exempt from the 
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requirements for notice of 
proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in 
effective date.
    5. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for 
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 
553, or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., are not applicable. 
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required and none 
has been prepared.

2. Section 744.21 is amended by revising paragraph (b) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  744.21  Restrictions on Certain `Military End Use' or `Military 
End User' in the People's Republic of China, Russia, or Venezuela.

* * * * *
    (b) Additional prohibition on those informed by BIS. BIS may inform 
you either individually by specific notice, through amendment to the 
EAR published in the Federal Register, or through a separate notice 
published in the Federal Register, that a license is required for 
specific exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of any item 
because there is an unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to a 
`military end use' or `military end user' in China, Russia, or 
Venezuela. Specific notice will be given only by, or at the direction 
of, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration. When such 
notice is provided orally, it will be followed by written notice within 
two working days signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration or the Deputy Assistant Secretary's designee. The 
absence of BIS notification does not excuse the exporter from 
compliance with the license requirements of paragraph (a) of this 
section.
    (1) `Military End-User' (MEU) List BIS may inform and provide 
notice to the public that certain entities are subject to the 
additional prohibition described under this paragraph (b) following a 
determination by the End-User Review Committee (ERC) that a specific 
entity is a `military end user' pursuant to this section and therefore 
any exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) to that entity 
represent an unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to a `military 
end use' or `military end user' in China, Russia, or Venezuela. Such 
entities may be added to supplement no. 7 to part 744--`Military End-
User' (MEU) List through Federal Register notices published by BIS, and 
will thus be subject to a license requirement for exports, reexports, 
or transfers (in-country) of items specified in supplement no. 2 to 
part 744. The listing of entities under supplement no. 7 to part 744 is 
not an exhaustive listing of `military end users' for purposes of this 
section. Exporters, reexporters, and transferors are responsible for 
determining whether transactions with entities not listed on supplement 
no. 7 to part 744 are subject to a license requirement under paragraph 
(a) of this section. The process in paragraph this (b)(1) for placing 
entities on the MEU List is only one method BIS may use to inform 
exporters, reexporters, and transferors of license requirements under 
this section.
    (i) End-User Review Committee (ERC). The End-User Review Committee 
(ERC), composed of representatives of the Departments of Commerce 
(Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where appropriate, the Treasury, 
makes all decisions regarding additions to, removals from, or other 
modifications to the MEU List. Decisions by the ERC for

[[Page 83798]]

purposes of the MEU List will be made following the procedures 
identified in this section and in supplement no. 5 to part 744--
Procedures for End-User Review Committee Entity List and `Military End 
User' (MEU) List Decisions.
    (ii) License requirement for parties to the transaction. The 
license requirement for entities listed in supplement no. 7 to part 744 
applies to the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of any item 
subject to the EAR listed in supplement no. 2 to part 744 when an 
entity that is listed on the MEU List is a party to the transaction as 
described in Sec.  748.5(c) through (f).
    (2) Requests for removal from or modification of `Military End 
User' (MEU) List. Any entity listed on the MEU List may request that 
its listing be removed or modified. All such requests, including 
reasons therefor, must be in writing and sent to: Chair, End-User 
Review Committee, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room 3886, 
Washington, DC 20230. In order for an entity listed on the MEU List to 
petition BIS for their removal or modification, as applicable, the 
entity must address why the entity is not a `military end user' for 
purposes of Sec.  744.21.
    (i) Review. The ERC will review such requests for removal or 
modification in accordance with the procedures set forth in supplement 
no. 5 to this part.
    (ii) BIS action. The Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration will convey the decision on the request to the requester 
in writing. That decision will be the final agency action on the 
request.

3. Supplement no. 5 to part 744 is revised to read as follows:

Supplement No. 5 to Part 744--Procedures for End-User Review Committee 
Entity List and `Military End User' (MEU) List Decisions

    The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of 
the Departments of Commerce, State, Defense, Energy and, where 
appropriate, the Treasury, will make all decisions to make additions 
to, removals from or changes to the Entity List and the `Military End 
User' (MEU) List. The ERC will be chaired by the Department of Commerce 
and will make all decisions to add an entry to the Entity List and MEU 
List by majority vote and all decisions to remove or modify an entry by 
unanimous vote.
    When determining to add an entity to the Entity List or MEU List or 
to modify an existing entry, the ERC will also specify the section or 
sections of the EAR that provide the basis for that determination. All 
additions and modifications to the MEU List are done pursuant to Sec.  
744.21(b). The license requirements, the license application review 
policy, or the availability of license exceptions for entities on the 
MEU List are specified in Sec.  744.21 under paragraphs (b) to (e). In 
addition, for the Entity List if the section or sections that form the 
basis for an addition or modification do not specify the license 
requirements, the license application review policy, or the 
availability of license exceptions, the ERC will specify the license 
requirements, the license application review policy and which license 
exceptions (if any) will be available for shipments to that entity.
    Any agency that participates in the ERC may make a proposal for an 
addition to, modification of, or removal of an entry from the Entity 
List or MEU List by submitting that proposal to the chairperson.
    The ERC will vote on each proposal no later than 30 days after the 
chairperson first circulates it to all member agencies unless the ERC 
unanimously agrees to postpone the vote. If a member agency is not 
satisfied with the outcome of the vote of the ERC that agency may 
escalate the matter to the Advisory Committee on Export Policy (ACEP). 
A member agency that is not satisfied with the decision of the ACEP may 
escalate the matter to the Export Administration Review Board (EARB). 
An agency that is not satisfied with the decision of the EARB may 
escalate the matter to the President.
    The composition of the ACEP and EARB as well as the procedures and 
time frames shall be the same as those specified in Executive Order 
12981 as amended by Executive Orders 13020, 13026 and 13117 for license 
applications. If at any stage, a decision by majority vote is not 
obtained by the prescribed deadline the matter shall be raised to the 
next level.
    A final decision by the ERC (or the ACEP or EARB or the President, 
as may be applicable in a particular case) to make an addition to, 
modification of, or removal of an entry from the Entity List or MEU 
List shall operate as clearance by all member agencies to publish the 
addition, modification or removal as an amendment to the Entity List or 
MEU List even if, in the case of a decision by the ERC to add an entry 
or any decision by the ACEP or EARB, such decision is not unanimous. 
Such amendments will not be further reviewed through the regular Export 
Administration Regulations interagency review process.
    A proposal by the ERC to make any change to the EAR other than an 
addition to, modification of, or removal of an entry from the Entity 
List or MEU List shall operate as a recommendation and shall not be 
treated as interagency clearance of an EAR amendment. The chairperson 
of the ERC will be responsible for circulating to all member agencies 
proposals submitted to him or her by any member agency. The chairperson 
will be responsible for serving as secretary to the ACEP and EARB for 
all review of ERC matters. The chairperson will communicate all final 
decisions that require Entity List or MEU List amendments, to the 
Bureau of Industry and Security which shall be responsible for drafting 
the necessary changes to the Entity List and MEU List. If the ERC 
decides in a particular case that a party should be informed 
individually instead of by EAR amendment the chairperson will be 
responsible for preparing the ``is informed'' letter for the signature 
of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration.
    A listed entity may present a request to remove or modify its 
Entity List or the MEU List entry along with supporting information to 
the chairman at Room 3886, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230. The chairperson shall 
refer all such requests and supporting information to all member 
agencies. The member agencies will review and vote on all such 
requests. The time frames, procedures and right of escalation by a 
member agency that is dissatisfied with the results that apply to 
proposals made by a member agency shall apply to these requests. The 
decision of the ERC (or the ACEP or EARB or the President, as may be 
applicable in a particular case) shall be the final agency decision on 
the request and shall not be appealable under part 756 of the EAR. The 
chairperson will prepare the response to the party who made the 
request. The response will state the decision on the request and the 
fact that the response is the final agency decision on the request. The 
response will be signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration.
    The End-User Review Committee will conduct regular reviews of the 
Entity List and MEU List for the purpose of determining whether any 
listed entities should be removed or modified. The review will include 
analysis of whether the criteria for listing the entity are still 
applicable and research to determine whether the name(s) and 
address(es) of

[[Page 83799]]

each entity are accurate and complete and whether any affiliates of 
each listed entity should be added or removed.

4. Add Supplement No. 7 to part 744 to read as follows:
    The addition reads as follows:

Supplement No. 7 to Part 744--`Military End-User' (MEU) List

    The license requirement for entities listed in supplement no. 7 to 
part 744 applies to the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of 
any item subject to the EAR listed in supplement no. 2 to part 744. A 
license is required to export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) any 
item subject to the EAR listed in supplement no. 2 to part 744 when an 
entity that is listed on the MEU List is a party to the transaction as 
described in Sec.  748.5(c) through (f). No license exceptions are 
available for exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) to listed 
entities on the MEU List for items specified in supplement no. 2 to 
part 744, except license exceptions for items authorized under the 
provisions of License Exception GOV set forth in Sec.  740.11(b)(2)(i) 
and (ii) of the EAR as specified in Sec.  744.21(c). The license 
application procedure and license review policy for entities specified 
in supplement no. 2 to part 744 is specified in Sec.  744.21(d) and 
(e).
