Coˆte d’Ivoire, Cyprus, the Democratic 

Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Fiji, Iraq, 

Lebanon, Liberia, North Korea, Sierra 

Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Yemen, and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Nicholas Memos, Office of Defense 

Trade Controls Policy, Department of 

State, by telephone: (202) 663–2804; fax: 

(202) 261–8199; or e-mail: 

memosni@state.gov. Attn: Part 126, 

Country Policies. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A number 

of country policy updates and 

corrections are made in § 126.1, 

described as follows. 

Afghanistan: Section 126.1(g) is 

amended to delete reference to the 

‘‘Afghan Interim Authority.’’ The 

Islamic Republic of Afghanistan has 

replaced the Afghan Interim Authority 

as the Government of Afghanistan. 

The Security Council committees 

established pursuant to United Nations 

Security Council (UNSC) resolutions 

1267 (1999) and 1988 (2011), 

concerning Al-Qaida and the Taliban 

and associated individuals and entities, 

oversee the implementation by U.N. 

member states of sanctions measures 

(including arms embargoes) imposed by 

the Security Council on Al-Qaida and 

the Taliban, and those individuals, 

groups, undertakings, and entities 

associated with them. The committees 

maintain lists of individuals, groups, 

undertakings, and entities subject to the 

sanctions. By UNSC resolutions 1267 

(1999), 1333 (2000), 1390 (2002), as 

reiterated in resolutions 1455 (2003), 

1526 (2004), 1617 (2005), 1735 (2006), 

1822 (2008) and 1904 (2009), and 

reiterated and modified by resolutions 

1988 and 1989 (2011), the Security 

Council has obliged all member 

countries to prevent the direct or 

indirect supply, sale, or transfer of arms 

and related materiel to the individuals, 

groups, undertakings, and entities 

placed on these lists. Section 126.1(g) is 

amended accordingly. 

Coˆte d’Ivoire: On November 15, 2004, 

the United Nations Security Council 

adopted resolution 1572, which 

provided for an arms embargo with 

certain exceptions. Resolution 1946 of 

October 15, 2010, reaffirmed the 

embargo, and added to the exceptions 

provided in resolution 1572. Resolution 

1980 of April 28, 2011, renewed the 

terms of the modified arms embargo. 

Section 126.1(q) is added to reflect the 

arms embargo and exceptions thereto. 

Cyprus: Section 126.1(r) is added to 

reflect the U.S. policy on arms exports 

to Cyprus, first published by the 

Department of State on December 18, 

1992 (57 FR 60265). 

Democratic Republic of the Congo: On 

March 31, 2008, the United Nations 

Security Council adopted resolution 

1807, which modified the existing 

Democratic Republic of the Congo arms 

embargo. Subsequent resolutions (1857, 

adopted on December 22, 2008; 1896, 

adopted on November 30, 2009; and 

1952, adopted on November 29, 2010) 

renewed the terms of the modified arms 

embargo in resolution 1807. Section 

126.1(i) is amended to reflect the 

prohibitions contained in resolution 

1807. 

Eritrea: On December 23, 2009, the 

United Nations Security Council 

adopted resolution 1907, which 

prohibits the sale, supply or transfer of 

arms and related materiel to Eritrea, or 

the sale, supply or transfer of arms and 

related materiel from Eritrea. 

Consequently, Eritrea is added to the list 

of countries subject to a UNSC arms 

embargo contained in § 126.1(c). Since 

October 3, 2008, and as identified in 

§ 126.1(a), it has been the policy of the 

United States to deny licenses and other 

approvals for exports and imports of 

defense articles and defense services, 

destined for or originating in Eritrea. 

Fiji: As a result of a military coup in 

Fiji, as of December 2006, the United 

States suspended all sales and deliveries 

of defense articles and defense services 

to Fiji. Such sales in support of 

peacekeeping activities are excepted, 

and will be reviewed on a case-by-case 

basis. Section 126.1(p) is added to 

reflect the policy and exceptions 

thereto. 

Iraq: Section 126.1(f) is amended to 

remove reference to lapsed statutory 

authority and requirements. 

Lebanon: On August 11, 2006, the 

United Nations Security Council 

adopted resolution 1701, establishing an 

arms embargo, with the exception that 

it would not apply to arms and related 

materiel for the United Nations Interim 

Force in Lebanon or as authorized by 

the Government of Lebanon. Most 

recently, resolution 1937 (adopted on 

August 30, 2010) emphasized the 

importance of full compliance with the 

terms of the arms embargo. Section 

126.1(t) is added to reflect the arms 

embargo and exceptions thereto. 

Liberia: On December 17, 2009, the 

United Nations Security Council 

adopted resolution 1903, which 

modified the existing Liberia arms 

embargo set forth in resolution 1521 

(2003) and modified by resolutions 1683 

and 1731 (2006). Subsequently, 

resolution 1961 (adopted on December 

17, 2010) renewed the terms of the 

modified arms embargo. Section 

126.1(o) is added to reflect the arms 

embargo and exceptions thereto. In 

addition, § 126.1(a) is revised to remove 

Liberia as an example of a country with 

which the United States maintains an 

arms embargo. 

North Korea: On October 24, 2008, the 

Secretary of State rescinded the 

determination of January 20, 1988, that 

North Korea repeatedly provided 

support for acts of international 

terrorism. The rescission satisfied the 

provisions of section 620(c) of the 

Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, Public 

Law 87–195, as amended (22 U.S.C. 

2371(c)), and section 40(f) of the Arms 

Export Control Act, Public Law 90–629, 

as amended (22 U.S.C. 2780(f)). 

Consequently, § 126.1(d) is amended to 

remove mention of North Korea. 

However, North Korea is subject to an 

arms embargo according to the United 

Nations Security Council resolutions 

1718 (2006) and 1874 (2009). 

Consequently, North Korea remains 

subject to the policy of the United States 

to deny licenses and other approvals for 

exports and imports of defense articles 

and defense services, destined for or 

originating in North Korea (§ 126.1(a)). 

Sierra Leone: On September 29, 2010, 

the United Nations Security Council 

adopted resolution 1940, which 

terminated the prohibition of the sale or 

supply of arms and related materiel to 

non-governmental forces in Sierra Leone 

adopted in UNSC resolution 1171 of 

June 5, 1998. Resolution 1171, in turn, 

had modified the provision of UNSC 

resolution 1132, adopted October 8, 

1997, which prohibited the sale or 

supply of arms and related materiel to 

Sierra Leone. The United States, which 

had maintained the complete 

prohibition as provided in resolution 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 152 / Monday, August 8, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 47991 

1132, now lifts the prohibition, in 

accordance with UNSC resolution 1940. 

Consequently, Sierra Leone is removed 

from the list of countries subject to a 

U.N. arms embargo at § 126.1(c) and is 

no longer considered a proscribed 

country under the ITAR. 

Somalia: Title IV of the William 

Wilberforce Trafficking Victims 

Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, 

the Child Soldiers Prevention Act of 

2008, provides in Section 404 that no 

licenses for direct commercial sales of 

military equipment may be issued to the 

government of a country that is clearly 

identified as having governmental 

armed forces or government-supported 

armed groups that recruit and use child 

soldiers. Somalia has been so identified 

by the U.S. government in the 

‘‘Trafficking in Persons Report,’’ dated 

June 2010. Therefore, § 126.1(m) is 

amended to reflect the statutory bar on 

issuance of licenses for defense articles 

for the purpose of developing security 

sector institutions in Somalia. 

Sri Lanka: In accordance with Section 

7089 of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111– 

117), the Department of State is 

amending § 126.1(n) to update the 

policy toward Sri Lanka. It is the policy 

of the United States to deny licenses 

and other approvals to export or 

otherwise transfer defense articles and 

defense services to Sri Lanka except, on 

a case-by-case basis, for humanitarian 

demining. 

Yemen: Section 126.1(u) is added to 

set out the U.S. policy on arms exports 

to Yemen, first published by the 

Department of State on December 16, 

1992 (57 FR 59852). 

Zimbabwe: Section 126.1(s) is added 

to set out U.S. policy on arms exports 

to Zimbabwe, first published by the 

Department of State on April 17, 2002 

(67 FR 18978), and modified in a notice 

published on July 23, 2002 (67 FR 

48242). 

Additionally, § 126.1(j) is amended to 

standardize usage and structure, 

§§ 126.1(l) and (m) are amended to 

correct the spelling of ‘‘United States,’’ 

and the title of § 126.14 is amended to 

add the country ‘‘Sweden.’’ 

Regulatory Analysis and Notices 

Administrative Procedure Act 

The Department of State is of the 

opinion that controlling the import and 

export of defense articles and services is 

a foreign affairs function of the United 

States Government and that rules 

implementing this function are exempt 

from § 553 (Rulemaking) and § 554 

(Adjudications) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act. These rules directly 

reflect foreign policy decisions of the 

President, which are not subject to the 

notice and comment procedures of the 

Administrative Procedure Act. Since 

this rule is exempt from 5 U.S.C. 553, 

it is the view of the Department of State 

that the provisions of § 553(d) do not 

apply to this rulemaking. Therefore, this 

rule is effective upon publication. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Since this amendment is not subject 

to the notice-and-comment procedures 

of 5 U.S.C. 553, it does not require 

analysis under the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

This amendment does not involve a 

mandate that will result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

in any year and it will not significantly 

or uniquely affect small governments. 

Therefore, no actions were deemed 

necessary under the provisions of the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995. 

Executive Order 13175 

The Department has determined that 

this rule will not have tribal 

implications, will not impose 

substantial direct compliance costs on 

Indian tribal governments, and will not 

pre-empt tribal law. Accordingly, the 

requirements of Executive Order 13175 

do not apply to this rule. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 

This amendment has been found not 

to be a major rule within the meaning 

of the Small Business Regulatory 

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. 

Executive Orders 12372 and 13132 

This amendment will not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Therefore, in 

accordance with Executive Order 13132, 

it is determined that this amendment 

does not have sufficient federalism 

implications to require consultations or 

warrant the preparation of a federalism 

summary impact statement. The 

regulations implementing Executive 

Order 12372 regarding 

intergovernmental consultation on 

Federal programs and activities do not 

apply to this amendment. 

Executive Order 12866 

The Department of State does not 

consider this rule to be a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866, section 3(f), Regulatory 

Planning and Review. The Department 

is of the opinion that controlling the 

import and export of defense articles 

and services is a foreign affairs function 

of the United States Government and 

that rules governing the conduct of this 

function are exempt from the 

requirements of Executive Order 12866. 

Executive Order 13563 

The Department of State has 

considered this rule in light of 

Executive Order 13563, dated January 

18, 2011, and affirms that this regulation 

is consistent with the guidance therein. 

Executive Order 12988 

The Department of State has reviewed 

the amendment in light of sections 3(a) 

and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988 to 

eliminate ambiguity, minimize 

litigation, establish clear legal 

standards, and reduce burden. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule does not impose any new 

reporting or recordkeeping requirements 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 

44 U.S.C. Chapter 35. 

List of Subjects in 22 CFR Part 126 

Arms and munitions, Exports. 

Accordingly, for the reasons set forth 

above, Title 22, Chapter I, Subchapter 

M, part 126, is amended as follows: 

PART 126—GENERAL POLICIES AND 

PROVISIONS 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 126 

is revised to read as follows: 

Authority: Secs. 2, 38, 40, 42, and 71, Pub. 

L. 90–629, 90 Stat. 744 (22 U.S.C. 2752, 2778, 

2780, 2791, and 2797); E.O. 11958, 42 FR

Pub. L. 108–375; Sec. 7089, Pub. L. 111–117. 

■ 2. Section 126.1 is amended by 

revising the section heading and 

paragraphs (a), (c), (d), (f), (g), (i), (j), (l) 

introductory text, (m), and (n), and by 

adding paragraphs (o) through (u), to 

read as follows: 

§ 126.1 Prohibited exports, imports, and 

sales to or from certain countries. 

(a) General. It is the policy of the 

United States to deny licenses and other 

approvals for exports and imports of 

defense articles and defense services 

destined for or originating in certain 

countries. This policy applies to 

Belarus, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, North 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
47992 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 152 / Monday, August 8, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

Korea, Syria, and Venezuela. This 

policy also applies to countries with 

respect to which the United States 

maintains an arms embargo (e.g., Burma, 

China, and the Republic of the Sudan) 

or whenever an export would not 

otherwise be in furtherance of world 

peace and the security and foreign 

policy of the United States. Information 

regarding certain other embargoes 

appears elsewhere in this section. 

Comprehensive arms embargoes are 

normally the subject of a State 

Department notice published in the 

Federal Register. The exemptions 

provided in the regulations in this 

subchapter, except § 123.17 of this 

subchapter, do not apply with respect to 

articles originating in or for export to 

any proscribed countries, areas, or 

persons in this § 126.1. 

* * * * * 

(c) Exports and sales prohibited by 

United Nations Security Council 

embargoes. Whenever the United 

Nations Security Council mandates an 

arms embargo, all transactions that are 

prohibited by the embargo and that 

involve U.S. persons (see § 120.15 of 

this subchapter) anywhere, or any 

person in the United States, and defense 

articles or services of a type enumerated 

on the United States Munitions List (22 

CFR part 121), irrespective of origin, are 

prohibited under the ITAR for the 

duration of the embargo, unless the 

Department of State publishes a notice 

in the Federal Register specifying 

different measures. This would include, 

but is not limited to, transactions 

involving trade by U.S. persons who are 

located inside or outside of the United 

States in defense articles or services of 

U.S. or foreign origin that are located 

inside or outside of the United States. 

United Nations Security Council arms 

embargoes include, but are not 

necessarily limited to, the following 

countries: 

(1) Cote d’Ivoire (see also paragraph 

(q) of this section).

of this section). 

(11) Sudan. 

(d) Terrorism. Exports to countries 

which the Secretary of State has 

determined to have repeatedly provided 

support for acts of international 

terrorism are contrary to the foreign 

policy of the United States and are thus 

subject to the policy specified in 

paragraph (a) of this section and the 

requirements of section 40 of the Arms 

Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2780) and 

the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and 

Anti-Terrorism Act of 1986 (22 U.S.C.
