Addition of Certain Entities to the 

Entity List; Correction of Existing 

Entries on the Entity List 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR) by adding fourteen entities to the 

Entity List. These fourteen 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 

fourteen entities will be listed on the 

Entity List under the destinations of 

Germany, Russia, and Switzerland. This 

rule also corrects six existing entries to 

the Entity List, one under the 

destination of Germany and the other 

five under the destination of China. 

DATES: This rule is effective March 4, 

2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Entity List (15 CFR, Subchapter 

C, part 744, Supplement No. 4 of the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR)) identifies entities reasonably 

believed to be involved, or to 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 

impose license requirements on and 

limit the availability of most license 

exceptions for exports, reexports, and 

transfers (in country) involving 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. The Bureau of Industry and 

Security (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 makes all 

decisions to remove or modify an entry 

by unanimous vote. 

ERC Entity List Decisions 

Additions to the Entity List 

This rule implements the decision of 

the ERC to add fourteen entities to the 

Entity List. The fourteen entities are 

located in Germany, Russia, and 

Switzerland. 

The ERC reviewed and applied 

§ 744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the 

Entity List) in making the determination 

to add these fourteen entities to the 

Entity List. Under that paragraph, 

persons for whom there is reasonable 

cause to believe, based on specific and 

articulable facts, that they 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, along with 

those acting on behalf of such persons, 

may be added to the Entity List. 

Paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(5) of 

§ 744.11 provide an illustrative list of 

activities that could be contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. For each 

of the fourteen entities described below, 

the ERC made the requisite 

determination based on the standard set 

forth in § 744.11(b). 

The ERC determined to add the 

following thirteen entities: Chimmed 

Group; Chimconnect GmbH; 

Chimconnect AG; Pharmkontract 

GmbH; Femteco; Interlab; LabInvest; 

OOO Analit Products; OOO Intertech 

Instruments; Pharmcontract GC; Rau 

Farm; Regionsnab; and Riol-Chemie, to 

the Entity List based on their 

proliferation activities in support of 

Russia’s weapons of mass destruction 

programs. Nine of these entities are 

located in Russia, three are located in 

Germany, and one is located in 

Switzerland. Pursuant to § 744.11 of the 

EAR, the ERC also determined to add 

the 27th Scientific Center of the Russian 

Ministry of Defense (a.k.a., 27th NTs) 

located in Russia to the Entity List. This 

entity is a Russian Government Ministry 

of Defense facility associated with 

Russia’s chemical weapons activities. 

Pursuant to § 744.11(b) of the EAR, 

the ERC determined that the conduct of 

these fourteen entities raises sufficient 

concern that prior review of exports, 

reexports, or transfers (in-country) of all 

items subject to the EAR involving these 

entities, and the possible imposition of 

license conditions or license denials on 

shipments involving the entities, will 

enhance BIS’s ability to prevent items 

subject to the EAR from being used in 

activities contrary to the national 

security and foreign policy interests of 

the United States. 

For the fourteen entities added to the 

Entity List in this final rule, BIS 

imposes a license requirement that 

applies to all items subject to the EAR. 

For the 27th Scientific Center of the 

Russian Ministry of Defense, BIS will 

review license applications under 

§ 744.4(d) of the EAR, the review policy 

that applies to items subject to the EAR 

that are destined for certain chemical 

and biological weapons end-uses. With 

respect to the other thirteen entities 

located in Russia, Germany, and 

Switzerland, BIS will review license 

applications under § 744.4(d) of the EAR 

as well as the policies set forth in 

§ 744.2(d) and § 744.3(d), which apply 

to items subject to the EAR that are 

destined for certain nuclear and missile 

technology end-uses, respectively. 

With respect to all fourteen entities, 

the license requirements apply to any 

transaction in which items subject to the 

EAR are to be exported, reexported, or 

transferred (in country) involving any of 

the entities in which such entities act as 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
12530 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 41 / Thursday, March 4, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

purchaser, intermediate consignee, 

ultimate consignee, or end-user as 

described in § 748.5(c) through (f). In 

addition, no license exceptions are 

available for exports, reexports, or 

transfers (in-country) involving the 

entities being added to the Entity List in 

this rule. 

The acronym ‘‘a.k.a.’’, or also known 

as, is used in entries on the Entity List 

to identify aliases, thereby assisting 

exporters, reexporters, and transferors in 

identifying entities on the Entity List. 

This final rule adds the following 

fourteen entities to the Entity List and 

includes, where appropriate, aliases: 

Germany 

• Chimconnect Gmbh; 

• Pharmcontract Gmbh; and 

• Riol-Chemie. 

Russia 

• 27th Scientific Center of the 

Russian Ministry of Defense; 

• Chimmed Group; 

• Femteco; 

• Interlab; 

• LabInvest; 

• OOO Analit Products; 

• OOO Intertech Instruments; 

• Pharmcontract GC; 

• Rau Farm; and 

• Regionsnab. 

Switzerland 

• Chimconnect AG. 

Corrections to the Entity List 

This final rule implements corrections 

to six existing entries on the Entity List. 

One correction is under the destination 

of Germany for the entity ‘‘Huawei 

OpenLab Munich,’’ and a second 

correction is under the destination of 

China for the entity ‘‘Huawei Cloud 

Hong Kong.’’ Both entities were added 

to the Entity List on August 20, 2020 (85 

FR 51596), and their entries were 

modified on August 27, 2020 (85 FR 

52898). A correction is needed in the 

Federal Register citation column for 

these two entities because of an error 

that occurred in the amendatory 

instruction in the August 27, 2020 rule. 

This rule corrects the Federal Register 

citation for each entity to conform to the 

Federal Register citations that appear in 

the August 20, 2020 and August 27, 

2020 rules. The third correction is under 

the destination of China for the entity 

‘‘China State Shipbuilding Corporation, 

Limited (CSSC) 750th Research 

Institute.’’ This entity was added to the 

EAR on December 18, 2020 (85 FR 

83416). This rule corrects the entity’s 

name so that it reads as ‘‘China State 

Shipbuilding Corporation, Limited 

(CSSC) 750th Test Center.’’ The fourth 

correction is under the destination of 

China for the entity ‘‘SMIC Hong Kong 

International Company Limited.’’ This 

entity was originally added to the EAR 

in the December 18, 2020 rule and 

placed under Hong Kong. As part of a 

December 22, 2020 rule (85 FR 83416), 

this entry was moved and placed under 

China. Due to publication-related timing 

constraints, the December 22, 2020 rule 

did not include the Federal Register 

citation for the December 18, 2020 rule. 

This rule corrects the Federal Register 

citation for this entry to insert the 

citation from the December 18, 2020 

rule. The fifth correction is under the 

destination of China for the entity ‘‘Su 

Bin.’’ This entity was originally added 

to the EAR under the destination of 

Hong Kong on August 1, 2014 (79 FR 

44680) and moved from Hong Kong to 

the destination of China on December 

23, 2020 (85 FR 83765). A correction is 

needed in the Federal Register citation 

column for this entity because of an 

error that double printed the December 

23, 2020 Federal Register citation. This 

rule corrects the Federal Register 

citation by deleting the second reference 

to the citation. The sixth correction is 

under the destination of China for the 

entity ‘‘Nanjing FiberHome Starrysky 

Communication Development -o.’’ This 

rule corrects the name of this entity by 

replacing the ‘‘Nanjing FiberHome 

Starrysky Communication Development 

-o.’’ with ‘‘Nanjing FiberHome Starrysky 

Communication Development Co.’’ 

Savings Clause 

Shipments of items removed from 

eligibility for a License Exception or for 

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 

March 4, 2021, 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) (50 U.S.C. 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 or 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. Total burden 

hours associated with the PRA and 

OMB control number 0694–0088 are not 

expected to increase as a result of this 

rule. 

3. This rule does not contain policies 

with Federalism implications as that 

term is defined in Executive Order 

13132. 

4. Pursuant to § 1762 of the Export 

Control Reform Act of 2018, 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.

Security to direct all flights to the 

United States carrying persons who 

have recently traveled from, or were 

otherwise present within, the 

Democratic Republic of the Congo or the 

Republic of Guinea to arrive at one of 

the U.S. airports where the U.S. 

government is focusing public health 

resources to implement enhanced 

public health measures. For purposes of 

this document, a person has recently 

traveled from the Democratic Republic 

of the Congo or the Republic of Guinea 

if that person has departed from, or was 

otherwise present within, the 

Democratic Republic of the Congo or the 

Republic of Guinea within 21 days of 

the date of the person’s entry or 

attempted entry into the United States. 

Also, for purposes of this document, 

crew and flights carrying only cargo 

(i.e., no passengers or non-crew), are 

excluded from the measures herein. 

DATES: The arrival restrictions apply to 

flights departing after 11:59 p.m. Eastern 

Standard Time on March 4, 2021. 

Arrival restrictions continue until 

cancelled or modified by the Secretary 

of Homeland Security and notice of 

such cancellation or modification is 

published in the Federal Register.

Operations, U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection at 202–286–8995. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), caused by 

the virus family Filoviridae, is a severe 

and often fatal disease that can affect 

humans and non-human primates. 

Disease transmission occurs via direct 

contact with bodily fluids (e.g., blood, 

mucus, vomit, urine). The first known 

EVD outbreak occurred in 1976. From 

2013–2016, the largest EVD outbreak 

occurred in West Africa, primarily 

affecting Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra 

Leone, with cases exported to seven 

additional countries across three 

continents. The epidemic demonstrated 

the potential for EVD to become an 

international crisis in the absence of 

early intervention. Further, EVD can 

have substantial medical, public health, 

and economic consequences if it 

spreads to densely populated areas. As 

such, EVD may present a threat to U.S. 

health security given the unpredictable 

nature of outbreaks and the 

interconnectedness of countries through 

global travel. 

On February 7, 2021, the World 

Health Organization (WHO) reported the 

resurgence of EVD, following the 

laboratory confirmation of one case in 

North Kivu Province, in the Democratic 

Republic of the Congo (DRC). As of 

February 23, 2021, eight confirmed EVD 

cases, including four deaths, have been 

reported. Although the source of 

infection is still under investigation, it 

is believed this outbreak is linked to the 

2018–2020 EVD outbreak in the eastern 

DRC, the second largest EVD outbreak 

on record, which was officially declared 

over on June 25, 2020 by the WHO and 

the Ministry of Health in the DRC. 

On February 14, 2021, the WHO 

reported a new outbreak of EVD in the 

southern prefecture of Nze ́re ́kore ́, 

Guinea. The prefecture is located near 

the borders of Liberia and the Ivory 

Coast. As of February 23, 2021, Guinean 

officials have reported nine confirmed 

cases and at least five deaths. The WHO 

expects additional cases to be confirmed 

in the coming days and have warned six 

neighboring countries (Guinea-Bissau, 

Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Senegal, and 

Sierra Leone) to be on alert for potential 

infections. 

In order to assist in preventing or 

limiting the introduction and spread of 

this communicable disease into the 

United States, the Departments of 

Homeland Security and Health and 

Human Services, including the Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC), and other agencies charged with 

protecting the homeland and the 

American public, are currently 

implementing enhanced public health 

measures at six U.S. airports that receive 

the largest number of travelers from the 

DRC and the Republic of Guinea. To 

ensure that all travelers with recent 

presence in the affected countries arrive 

at one of these airports, DHS is directing 

all flights to the United States carrying 

such persons to arrive at the airports 

where the enhanced public health 

measures are being implemented. While 

DHS, in coordination with other 

applicable federal agencies, anticipates 

working with the air carriers in an 

endeavor to identify potential travelers 

from the affected countries prior to 

boarding, air carriers will remain 

obligated to comply with the 

requirement of this notice, particularly 

in the event that travelers who have 

recently traveled from or were otherwise 

present within, the affected countries 

are boarded on flights bound for the 

United States. 

Notice of Arrival Restrictions 

Applicable to All Flights Carrying 

Persons Who Have Recently Traveled 

From or Were Otherwise Present 

Within the Democratic Republic of the 

Congo or the Republic of Guinea 

Pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 112(a), 19 U.S.C. 

1433(c), and 19 CFR 122.32, DHS has 

the authority to limit the location where 

all flights entering the United States 

from abroad may land. Under this 

authority and effective for flights 

departing after 11:59 p.m. Eastern 

Standard Time on March 4, 2021, I 

hereby direct all operators of aircraft to 

ensure that all flights carrying persons 

who have recently traveled from, or 

were otherwise present within, the DRC 

or the Republic of Guinea only land at 

one of the following airports: 

• John F. Kennedy International 

Airport (JFK), New York; 

• Chicago O’Hare International 

Airport (ORD), Illinois; 

• Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta 

International Airport (ATL), Georgia; 

• Washington-Dulles International 

Airport (IAD), Virginia;
