 SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding 13 entities to the Entity List under the destinations of Russia (12), and Uzbekistan (1). These 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the EAR (15 CFR parts 730-774)) 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, pursuant to § 744.11(b). The EAR impose additional license requirements on, and limit the availability of, most license exceptions for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) when a listed entity is a party to the transaction. 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**
                     document that added the entity to the Entity List. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) places entities on the Entity List pursuant to parts 744 (Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) and 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. Entity List Decisions Additions to the Entity List The ERC determined to add Aeroscan Limited Liability Company; Alfakomponent; BIC-Inform LLC; Hartis DV LLC; ID Solution LLC; OOO OMP; Orelmetallpolimer LLC; Spel LLC; Spetstehnotreyd LLC; STC Orion LLC; Technical Center Windeq LLC; and ZALA Aero Group, all under the destination of Russia; and Mvizion LLC, under the destination of Uzbekistan, to the Entity List. These entities are added for supporting Russia's military through the procurement, development, and proliferation of Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This activity is contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States under § 744.11(b) and these entities qualify as military end users under §§ 744.21(e), 744.21(g), and 746.8(b) of the EAR. These entities are receiving a footnote 3 designation because the ERC has determined that they are Russian or Belarusian `military end users' pursuant to § 744.21. A footnote 3 designation subjects these entities to the Russia/Belarus-Military End User Foreign Direct Product (FDP) rule, detailed in § 734.9(g). The entities are added with a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR and a license review policy of denial for all items subject to the EAR apart from food and medicine designated as EAR99, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. For the reasons described above, this final rule adds the following 13 entities, including aliases where appropriate, to the Entity List: Russia Aeroscan Limited Liability Company;
                Alfakomponent;
                BIC-Inform LLC;
                Hartis DV LLC;
                ID Solution LLC;
                OOO OMP;
                Orelmetallpolimer LLC;
                Spel LLC;
                Spetstehnotreyd LLC;
                STC Orion LLC;
                Technical Center Windeq LLC;*and*
                ZALA Aero Group. Uzbekistan Mvizion LLC. Savings Clause For the changes being made in this final rule, shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception or export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) as a result of this regulatory action that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of export, reexport, or transfer (in-country), on November 2, 2023, pursuant to actual orders for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or within a foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility for a License Exception or export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) before December 4, 2023. Any such items not actually exported, reexported or transferred (in-country) before midnight, on November 2, 2023, require a license in accordance with this final rule. 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. This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of 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 an information collection approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088, Simplified Network Application Processing System. BIS does not anticipate a change to the burden hours associated with this collection as a result of this rule. Information regarding the collection, including all supporting materials, can be accessed at 
                    *https://www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAMain.*( print page 76129) 3. This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132. 4. Pursuant to section 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. List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 744 Exports
