Technical Amendments to the Export 

Administration Regulations: Export

ACTION: Interim final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: On January 6, 2020, the 

Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)

Regulations (EAR) to add Software 

Specially Designed to Automate the 

Analysis of Geospatial Imagery to the 

0Y521 Temporary Export Control 

Classification Numbers (ECCN) Series as 

0D521. In this action BIS extends that 

status for a year pursuant to the 0Y521 

series extension procedures.

2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 6, 2020, the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS) amended 

the Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR) with an interim final rule to add 

Software Specially Designed to 

Automate the Analysis of Geospatial 

Imagery to the 0Y521 Temporary Export 

Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) 

Series as 0D521. More specifically, the 

software was described as Geospatial 

imagery ‘‘software’’ ‘‘specially 

designed’’ for training a Deep 

Convolutional Neural Network to 

automate the analysis of geospatial 

imagery and point clouds. See 85 FR 

459. 

BIS established the ECCN 0Y521 

series in a final rule published April 13, 

2012 (72 FR 22191) (hereinafter ‘‘April 

13 rule’’) to identify items that warrant 

control on the Commerce Control List 

(CCL) but are not yet identified in an 

existing ECCN. Items in the 0Y521 

series of ECCNs are added upon a 

determination by the Department of 

Commerce, with the concurrence of the 

Departments of Defense and State, and 

other agencies as appropriate, that the 

items warrant control for export because 

the items may provide a significant 

military or intelligence advantage to the 

United States or because foreign policy 

reasons justify control. The ECCN 

0Y521 series is a temporary holding 

classification. 

Under the procedures established in 

the April 13 rule and codified at 

§ 742.6(a)(8)(iii) of the EAR, items 

classified under ECCN 0Y521 remain so 

classified for one year from the date 

they are listed in supplement no. 5 to 

part 774 of the EAR, unless the items are 

re-classified under a different ECCN or 

the 0Y521 classification is extended. 

BIS may extend an item’s ECCN 

0Y521 classification for two one-year 

periods, provided that the U.S. 

Government has submitted a proposal to 

the relevant multilateral regime(s) (e.g., 

the Wassenaar Arrangement) to obtain 

multilateral controls over the item, with 

the understanding that multilateral 

controls are preferable when practical. 

Further extension beyond three years 

may occur only if the Under Secretary 

for Industry and Security makes a 

determination that such extension is in 

the national security or foreign policy 

interest of the United States. Any 

extension or re-extension of control of 

an ECCN 0Y521 item, including the 

determination by the Under Secretary, 

shall be published in the Federal 

Register. 

In this action, BIS extends the status 

of an item classified under a 0Y521 

ECCN for a year consistent with 

procedures that allow such an 

extension. Specifically, in this case the 

U.S. Government submitted a proposal 

for multilateral control of the 0D521 

software specially designed to automate 

the analysis of geospatial imagery, as 

described in the January 6, 2020 interim 

final rule, to the relevant multilateral 

regime (the Wassenaar Arrangement) in 

a timely manner, within the first year of 

the item’s 0D521 classification. 

However, due to the pandemic, the 

regime did not convene and therefore 

did not consider acceptance of the 

proposal. An extension of time is 

appropriate in order for the U.S. 

Government to continue its effort at the 

Wassenaar Arrangement in 2021. 

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) (50 U.S.C. 4801–4852) that 

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, distribute 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 interim final rule has 

been designated to be not significant for 

purposes of Executive Order 12866. The 

requirements of Executive Order 13771 

do not apply because the rule is not 

significant. 

2. Notwithstanding any other 

provision of law, no person is required 

to respond to, nor is 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 

OMB control number. This rule does not 

involve any collection of information.

3. This rule does not contain policies

associated with Federalism as that term 

is defined under Executive Order 13132. 

4. Pursuant to section 1762 of ECRA

(see 50 U.S.C. 4821), this action is 

exempt from the Administrative 

Procedure Act requirements (under 5 

U.S.C. 553) for notice of proposed 

rulemaking, opportunity for public 

participation, and delay in effective 

date. This rule only updates 

Supplement No. 5 to Part 774 to the 

EAR by extending the date of the period 

of validity of 0D521 software in 

Supplement No. 5 to Part 774 for one 

year. This revision is merely technical 

and in accordance with established 

0Y521 ECCN series procedure and 

purpose, which was proposed to the 

public and subject of comment. This 

rule clarifies information, which serves 

to avoid confusing readers about the 

0D521 item’s status. It does not alter any 

right, obligation or prohibition that 

applies to any person under the EAR. 

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. 

List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 774
