Implementation in the Export Administration Regulations of the 
United States' Rescission of Libya's Designation as a State Sponsor of 
Terrorism and Revisions Applicable to Iraq

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Interim final rule with request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends 
the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the June 30, 
2006 rescission of Libya's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. 
The rescission followed the President's May 15, 2006 submission of a 
report to Congress certifying that Libya had not provided any support 
for international terrorism during the preceding six months and that 
Libya had provided assurances that it would not support future acts of 
international terrorism. To implement the rescission, BIS amends the 
EAR by removing Libya from the list of terrorist supporting countries 
in Country Group E:1, and by making other conforming amendments and 
related revisions throughout the EAR. In particular, Libya is added to 
Country Group D:1 and remains in Country Groups D:2, D:3, and D:4.
    This rule also revises the EAR to reflect the fact that in October 
2004 the United States rescinded Iraq's designation as a state sponsor 
of terrorism. As a result of the rescission of this designation, BIS 
may no longer control for anti-terrorism (AT) reasons items covered by 
eight export control classification numbers (ECCNs) for which BIS 
previously required a license for export or reexport to Iraq, or for 
transfer within Iraq. Note that BIS now controls these items for 
regional stability (RS) reasons and continues to require a license for 
their export or reexport to Iraq, or transfer within Iraq. This rule 
also amends the EAR to delete all references to Iraq's status as a 
Designated State Sponsor of Terrorism.

DATES: This rule is effective August 31, 2006. Comments must be 
received October 2, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the June 30, 2006 
rescission of Libya's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. This 
action is the latest in a series of steps taken by the U.S. Government 
to reflect the improvement in the bilateral relationship since Libya's 
announcement in December 2003 that it was renouncing terrorism and 
giving up its weapons of mass destruction programs. In recognition of 
these actions, on April 23, 2004, the President terminated the 
application of the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act with respect to Libya 
allowing the resumption of most commercial activities with Libya. 
Concurrent with the President's action, the Department of the 
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) published a General 
License implementing the President's action. On April 29, 2004, BIS 
published an amendment to the EAR that allowed for the licensing and 
authorization of the export or reexport of dual-use items to Libya. On 
March 22, 2005, BIS published a second amendment to the EAR on Libya 
that established a review policy and licensing procedure for items 
illegally exported or reexported to Libya prior to the end of the 
comprehensive embargo (``installed base'' items). The installed based 
provisions, as set forth in section 764.7, continue in effect. On 
November 16, 2005, BIS published a third

[[Page 51715]]

amendment to the EAR for Libya that allowed for the export of certain 
items controlled only for anti-terrorism (AT) reasons to be exported to 
U.S. Persons in Libya under a new license exception (License Exception 
USPL).
    On May 15, 2006, the President submitted a report to Congress 
certifying that Libya had not provided any support for international 
terrorism during the preceding six months and that Libya had provided 
assurances that it would not support future acts of international 
terrorism. In light of the report, on June 30, 2006, the U.S. 
Government rescinded Libya's designation as a state sponsor of 
terrorism. To implement the rescission, BIS amends the EAR by removing 
Libya from the list of terrorist supporting countries in Country Group 
E:1, and by making other conforming amendments and related revisions 
throughout the EAR. In particular, Libya is added to Country Group D:1 
and remains in Country Groups D:2, D:3, and D:4.
    The specific amendments that implement this change in U.S. policy 
toward Libya and the revisions applicable to Iraq are described below.

Libya Overview

    The new Libya export licensing policy significantly reduces the 
level of U.S. Government controls over commercial exports to Libya, 
which is consistent with Libya's removal from the list of Designated 
State Sponsors of Terrorism. BIS, however, retains restrictions on the 
export of multilaterally-controlled items and other sensitive items to 
Libya.

Revised License Requirements for Exports and Reexports to Libya

Items for Which Export License Requirements are Generally Lifted
    Under this rule, items subject to the EAR but not listed on the 
Commerce Control List (15 CFR part 774) (CCL) (i.e., EAR99 items) will 
generally not be subject to license requirements for export or reexport 
to Libya except pursuant to the end-user and end-use controls set forth 
in part 744 of the EAR. In addition, items controlled only for anti-
terrorism (AT) reasons on the CCL will no longer be subject to a 
licensing requirement for export or reexport to Libya, except for the 
end-use and end-user requirements noted above.
    Also, the de minimis rules applicable to Libya are amended to 
reflect Libya's removal from Country Group E:1. Reexports of items to 
Libya from abroad are subject to the EAR only when U.S.-origin 
controlled content in such items exceeds 25% instead of the 10% that 
applies to Country Group E:1 countries.
Items for Which Export License Requirements Will Be Retained
    This rule retains license requirements for the export or reexport 
to Libya of items on the multilateral export control regime lists (the 
Wassenaar Arrangement, the Nuclear Suppliers' Group, the Australia 
Group and the Missile Technology Control Regime) and items controlled 
for Crime Control (CC) or Regional Stability (RS) reasons. These 
license requirements are set forth in part 742 of the EAR and are 
reflected in the relevant columns of the Country Chart in Supplement 
No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR. Certain categories of items that are 
controlled for reasons not included on the Country Chart (e.g., 
encryption (EI), short supply (SS), and Chemical Weapons (CW)) also 
require a license for export or reexport to Libya.

Revised Licensing Policy for Libya

    BIS will review license applications for exports or reexports to 
Libya on a case-by-case basis pursuant to applicable licensing policies 
set forth in parts 742, 744, or elsewhere in the EAR.
Items Controlled for Chemical and Biological Weapons (CB) Reasons
    License applications for CB-controlled exports and reexports to 
Libya will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis consistent with the 
licensing policy set forth in part 742.2 of the EAR.
Items Controlled for Nuclear Nonproliferation (NP) Reasons
    License applications for NP-controlled exports and reexports to 
Libya will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis consistent with the 
licensing policy set forth in part 742.3 of the EAR. Applications for 
exports and reexports to civil-end users and end-uses will generally be 
approved.
Items Controlled for National Security (NS) Reasons
    License applications for NS-controlled exports and reexports to 
Libya will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis consistent with the 
licensing policy set forth in part 742.4 of the EAR. Applications for 
exports and reexports to civil end-users and end-uses will generally be 
approved.
Items Controlled for Missile Technology (MT) Reasons
    License applications for MT-controlled exports and reexports to 
Libya will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis consistent with the 
licensing policy set forth in part 742.5 of the EAR.
Items Controlled for Regional Stability (RS) Reasons
    License applications for RS-controlled exports and reexports to 
Libya will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis consistent with the 
licensing policy set forth in part 742.6 of the EAR.
Items Controlled for Crime Control (CC) Reasons
    License applications for CC-controlled exports and reexports to 
Libya will be reviewed favorably on a case-by-case basis consistent 
with the licensing policy set forth in part 742.7 of the EAR.
    As a result of the rescission of Libya's designation as a state 
sponsor of terrorism, Libya will also be an eligible destination for 
special comprehensive licenses as described in part 752 of the EAR.

License Exceptions Available for Libya

License Exceptions Available Generally to Group D Countries
    This rule removes Libya from Country Group E:1, found in Supplement 
1 to part 740 of the EAR. It adds Libya to Country Group D:1. Libya 
remains in Country Groups D:2, D:3, and D:4. As a result of Libya's 
inclusion in Country Groups D:1 through D:4, the following License 
Exceptions may be available, in whole or in part: CIV, APP, TMP, RPL, 
GOV, GFT, TSU, BAG, AVS, ENC and KMI. A specific transaction is 
eligible for a License Exception only if it satisfies all of the terms 
and conditions of the relevant License Exception and is not excluded by 
any of the restrictions that apply to all License Exceptions, as set 
forth in section 740.2 (Restrictions on all License Exceptions) and 
elsewhere in the EAR.

Expanded License Exception Availability

    This rule adds Libya to Computer Tier 3 for exports or reexports of 
high performance computers under License Exception Computers (APP) in 
section 740.7 of the EAR. Additionally, foreign nationals from Libya 
are now eligible to receive without a license ``development'' and 
``production'' technology and source code for computers with an 
adjusted peak performance (APP) of less than or equal to 0.1 Weighted 
TeraFLOPS (WT) and ``use'' technology and source code for computers 
with an APP of less than or equal to 0.75 WT under License Exception 
APP subject to the Foreign National Review requirements of section 
740.7(d)(4).
    This rule also removes License Exception USPL (section 740.19) from 
the EAR. This License Exception was

[[Page 51716]]

established to allow for the export or reexport of certain items 
controlled for AT reasons only to U.S. persons in Libya. With the 
lifting of AT controls on Libya, this License Exception has been 
rendered irrelevant.

Overview of Iraq Revisions

    This rule also makes revisions to the EAR to reflect the October 
2004 rescission of Iraq's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. 
Under the terms of the revisions, items covered by eight export control 
classification numbers (ECCNs) which previously required a license for 
export or reexport to Iraq, or transfer within Iraq, for anti-terrorism 
(AT) reasons now require a license for export or reexport to Iraq, or 
transfer within Iraq, for regional stability (RS) reasons. This change 
affects the following ECCNs: 0B999 (Specific processing equipment such 
as hot cells and glove boxes suitable for use with radioactive 
materials), 0D999 (Specific software for neutronic calculations, 
radiation transport calculations and hydrodynamic calculations/
modeling), 1B999 (Specific processing equipment such as electrolytic 
cells for fluorine production and particle accelerators), 1C992 
(Commercial charges containing energetic materials, n.e.s.), 1C995 
(Certain mixtures and testing kits), 1C997 (Ammonium Nitrate), 1C999 
(Specific Materials, n.e.s.) and 6A992 (Optical Sensors, not controlled 
by 6A002). BIS has retained a licensing requirement for these items for 
RS reasons to reflect the U.S. Government's position that they could 
contribute to military capabilities within Iraq and in the region in a 
manner destabilizing to the region and contrary to the foreign policy 
interests of the United States. This rule also amends the EAR to delete 
all references to Iraq's former status as a Designated State Sponsor of 
Terrorism.
    This action is taken after consultation with the Secretary of 
State. This rule imposes new export controls for foreign policy 
reasons. Consistent with section 6 of the Export Administration Act of 
1979, as amended, 50 U.S.C. app. Sec.  Sec.  2401-2420 (2000) (the 
Act), a foreign policy report was submitted to Congress on August 17, 
2006, notifying Congress of the imposition of new controls.
    Since August 21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse and the President, 
through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 
(2002)), as extended most recently by the Notice of August 3, 2006, (71 
Fed. Reg. 44551 (August 7, 2006)), has continued the EAR in effect 
under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701--
1706 (2000)) (IEEPA). BIS continues to carry out the provisions of the 
Act, as appropriate and to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to 
Executive Order 13222.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This interim rule has been determined to be not significant for 
the purposes of 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 the OMB under control numbers 0694-
0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour 
estimate of 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748. This rule is 
expected to result in a decrease in license applications. Send comments 
regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection 
of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden to David 
Rostker, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and to the Regulatory 
Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of 
Commerce, as indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this rule.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under 
Executive Order 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for 
public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable 
because this regulation involves a military or foreign affairs function 
of the United States (see 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other law 
requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for 
public comment be given for this rule. 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.
    However, because of the importance of the issues raised by these 
regulations, this rule is being issued in interim form and BIS will 
consider comments in the development of the final regulations. 
Accordingly, the Department of Commerce (the Department) encourages 
interested persons who wish to comment to do so at the earliest 
possible time to permit the fullest consideration of their views.
    The period for submission of comments will close October 2, 2006. 
The Department will consider all comments received before the close of 
the comment period in developing final regulations. Comments received 
after the end of the comment period will be considered if possible, but 
their consideration cannot be assured. The Department will not accept 
public comments accompanied by a request that a part or all of the 
material be treated confidentially because of its business proprietary 
nature or for any other reason. The Department will return such 
comments and materials to the persons submitting the comments and will 
not consider them in the development of final regulations. All public 
comments on these regulations will be a matter of public record and 
will be available for public inspection and copying. In the interest of 
accuracy and completeness, the Department requires comments in written 
form.
    Oral comments must be followed by written memoranda, which will 
also be a matter of public record and will be available for public 
review and copying. Communications from agencies of the United States 
Government or foreign governments will not be available for public 
inspection.
    The Office of Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, displays these public comments on BIS's Freedom 
of Information Act (FOIA) Web site at http://www.bis.doc.gov/foia. This 
office does not maintain a separate public inspection facility. If you 
have technical difficulties accessing this Web site, please call BIS's 
Office of Administration at (202) 482-0637 for assistance.

1C350, in concentrations that are below the levels indicated in 
1C350.b through .d, are controlled by ECCN 1C395 or 1C995 and are 
subject to the licensing requirements specified in those ECCNs.
    b. A license is not required for mixtures controlled under this 
ECCN when the controlled chemical in the mixture is a normal 
ingredient in consumer goods packaged for retail sale for personal 
use. Such consumer goods are classified as EAR99.
    Note to Mixtures: Calculation of concentrations of AG-controlled 
chemicals:
    a. Exclusion. No chemical may be added to the mixture (solution) 
for the sole purpose of circumventing the Export Administration 
Regulations;
    b. Percent Weight Calculation. When calculating the percentage, 
by weight, of components in a chemical mixture, include all 
components of the mixture, including those that act as solvents.
    3. Compounds. Compounds created with any chemicals identified in 
this ECCN 1C350 may be shipped NLR (No License Required), without 
obtaining an End-Use Certificate, unless those compounds are also 
identified in this entry or require a license for reasons set forth 
elsewhere in the EAR.
    4. Testing Kits: Certain medical, analytical, diagnostic, and 
food testing kits containing small quantities of chemicals 
identified in this ECCN 1C350, are excluded from the scope of this 
ECCN and are controlled under ECCN 1C395 or 1C995. (Note that 
replacement reagents for such kits are controlled by this ECCN 1C350 
if the reagents contain one or more of the precursor chemicals 
identified in 1C350 in concentrations equal to or greater than the 
control levels for mixtures indicated in 1C350.)
    Technical Notes: 1. For purposes of this entry, a ``mixture'' is 
defined as a solid, liquid or gaseous product made up of two or more 
components that do not react together under normal storage 
conditions.
    2. The scope of this control applicable to Hydrogen Fluoride 
(see 1C350.d.7 in the List of Items Controlled) includes its liquid,
