creditor that together with the assets of 

its affiliates that regularly extended 

first-lien covered transactions during 

calendar year 2018 had total assets of 

less than $2,167,000,000 on December 

31, 2018, satisfied this criterion for 

purposes of any loan consummated in 

2019 and for purposes of any loan 

consummated in 2020 for which the 

application was received before April 1, 

2020. 

8. For calendar year 2020, the asset 

threshold was $2,202,000,000. A 

creditor that together with the assets of 

its affiliates that regularly extended 

first-lien covered transactions during 

calendar year 2019 had total assets of 

less than $2,202,000,000 on December 

31, 2019, satisfied this criterion for 

purposes of any loan consummated in 

2020 and for purposes of any loan 

consummated in 2010 for which the 

application was received before April 1, 

2021. 

iv. The creditor and its affiliates do 

not maintain an escrow account for any 

mortgage transaction being serviced by 

the creditor or its affiliate at the time the 

transaction is consummated, except as 

provided in § 1026.35(b)(2)(iii)(D)(1) 

and (2). Thus, the exemption applies, 

provided the other conditions of 

§ 1026.35(b)(2)(iii) are satisfied, even if 

the creditor previously maintained 

escrow accounts for mortgage loans, 

provided it no longer maintains any 

such accounts except as provided in 

§ 1026.35(b)(2)(iii)(D)(1) and (2). Once a 

creditor or its affiliate begins escrowing 

for loans currently serviced other than 

those addressed in 

§ 1026.35(b)(2)(iii)(D)(1) and (2), 

however, the creditor and its affiliate 

become ineligible for the exemption in 

§ 1026.35(b)(2)(iii) on higher-priced 

mortgage loans they make while such 

escrowing continues. Thus, as long as a 

creditor (or its affiliate) services and 

maintains escrow accounts for any 

mortgage loans, other than as provided 

in § 1026.35(b)(2)(iii)(D)(1) and (2), the 

creditor will not be eligible for the 

exemption for any higher-priced 

mortgage loan it may make. For 

purposes of § 1026.35(b)(2)(iii), a 

creditor or its affiliate ‘‘maintains’’ an 

escrow account only if it services a 

mortgage loan for which an escrow 

account has been established at least 

through the due date of the second 

periodic payment under the terms of the 

legal obligation.

Addition of Entities to the Entity List, 

Revision of Entry on the Entity List, 

and Removal of Entities From the 

Entity List 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS) amends the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR) by adding seventy-seven entities, 

under a total of seventy-eight entries, to 

the Entity List. These seventy-seven 

entities 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 

entities will be listed on the Entity List 

under the destinations of the People’s 

Republic of China (China), Bulgaria, 

France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, 

Malta, Pakistan, Russia, and the United 

Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). This rule also 

revises one existing entry on the Entity 

list under the destination of China and 

one under the destination of Pakistan. 

Finally, this rule removes a total of four 

entities under the destinations of Israel 

and the U.A.E. The removals are made 

in connection with requests for removal 

that BIS received pursuant to the EAR 

and a review of information provided in 

those requests. 

DATES: This rule is effective December 

18, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Entity List (supplement No. 4 to 

part 744 of the Export Administration 

Regulations (EAR)) identifies entities for 

which there is reasonable cause to 

believe, based on specific and 

articulable facts, that the entities have 

been involved, are involved, or pose a 

significant risk of being or becoming 

involved in activities contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. The EAR 

(15 CFR parts 730–774) impose 

additional license requirements on, and 

limit the availability of most license 

exceptions for, exports, reexports, and 

transfers (in-country) to listed entities. 

The license review policy for each listed 

entity is identified in the ‘‘License 

review policy’’ column on the Entity 

List, and the impact on the availability 

of license exceptions is described in the 

relevant Federal Register notice adding 

entities to the Entity List. BIS places 

entities on the Entity List pursuant to 

part 744 (Control Policy: End-User and 

End-Use Based) and part 746 

(Embargoes and Other Special Controls) 

of the EAR. 

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 Entity List. The ERC makes all 

decisions to add an entry to the Entity 

List by majority vote and all decisions 

to remove or modify an entry by 

unanimous vote. 

ERC Entity List Decisions 

Additions to the Entity List 

Under § 744.11(b) (Criteria for 

revising the Entity List) of the EAR, 

entities for which there is reasonable 

cause to believe, based on specific and 

articulable facts, that the entities have 

been involved, are involved, or pose a 

significant risk of being or becoming 

involved in activities that are contrary 

to the national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States, and those 

acting on behalf of such entities, may be 

added to the Entity List. Paragraphs 

(b)(1) through (5) of § 744.11 provide an 

illustrative list of activities that could be 

considered contrary to the national 

security or foreign policy interests of the 

United States. 

This rule implements the decision of 

the ERC to add seventy-seven entities, 

under a total of seventy-eight entries, to 

the Entity List; one of these entities is 

being added under two entries. These 

seventy-seven entities will be listed on 

the Entity List under the following 

destinations, as applicable, China, 

Bulgaria, France, Germany, Hong Kong, 

Italy, Malta, Pakistan, Russia, and the 

U.A.E. The ERC made the decision to 

add each of the seventy-seven entities 

described below under the standard set 

forth in § 744.11(b) of the EAR. 

The ERC determined that the seventyseven subject entities are engaging in or 

enabling activities contrary to U.S. 

national security and foreign policy 

interests, as follows: 

Semiconductor Manufacturing 

International Corporation Incorporated 

(SMIC) is added to the Entity List as a 

result of China’s military-civil fusion 

(MCF) doctrine and evidence of 

activities between SMIC and entities of 

concern in the Chinese military 

industrial complex. The Entity List 

designation limits SMIC’s ability to 

acquire certain U.S. technology by 

requiring exporters, reexporters, and incountry transferors of such technology 

to apply for a license to sell to the 

company. Items uniquely required to 

produce semiconductors at advanced 

technology nodes 10 nanometers or 

below will be subject to a presumption 

of denial to prevent such key enabling 

technology from supporting China’s 

military modernization efforts. This rule 

adds SMIC and the following ten 

entities related to SMIC: Semiconductor 

Manufacturing International (Beijing) 

Corporation; Semiconductor 

Manufacturing International (Tianjin) 

Corporation; Semiconductor 

Manufacturing International (Shenzhen) 

Corporation; SMIC Semiconductor 

Manufacturing (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.; 

SMIC Holdings Limited; Semiconductor 

Manufacturing South China 

Corporation; SMIC Northern Integrated 

Circuit Manufacturing (Beijing) Co., 

Ltd.; SMIC Hong Kong International 

Company Limited; SJ Semiconductor; 

and Ningbo Semiconductor 

International Corporation (NSI). 

The ERC determined to add the 

entities AGCU Scientech; China 

National Scientific Instruments and 

Materials (CNSIM); DJI; and Kuang-Chi 

Group for activities contrary to U.S. 

foreign policy interests. Specifically, 

these four entities have enabled widescale human rights abuses within China 

through abusive genetic collection and
