[Docket No. 070220040–7040–01] 

RIN 0694-AD91 

Addition of Entities to the Entity List 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS) is amending the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) to 

add two entities located in the United 

Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) to the Entity List. 

The Entity List is a compilation of endusers that present an unacceptable risk 

of using or diverting certain items to 

activities related to weapons of mass 

destruction. BIS requires a license for 

most exports or reexports to these 

entities and maintains the Entity List to 

inform the public of these license 

requirements. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective: 

March 2, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Michael Rithmire, Export 

Administration Intelligence Liaison, 

Bureau of Industry and Security, 

Telephone: (202) 482–6105. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 

Background 

This rule makes the following 

revisions to the Export Administration 

Regulations (EAR): 

Additions to the Entity List 

Pursuant to 15 CFR 744.3(b), this rule 

amends Supplement No. 4 to part 744 

(the Entity List) by adding two entities 

located in the U.A.E. to the Entity List. 

This notifies the public that a license is 

required for the export or reexport of all 

items subject to the EAR to: Bazaar 

Trading Co., No. 212 Baniyas Tower, 

Dubai, U.A.E. 6708; and Elmstone 

Trading L.L.C., P.O. Box 24896, Sharjah, 

U.A.E. License applications to export, 

reexport, or transfer (in-country) items 

subject to the EAR to these entities will 

be reviewed based on the license review 

standards for certain rocket systems and 

unmanned air vehicles end-uses found 

in § 744.3 of the EAR. Therefore, 

applications will be considered on a 

case-by-case basis to determine whether 

the export, reexport, or transfer would 

make a material contribution to the 

proliferation of certain rocket systems, 

or unmanned air vehicles. When an 

export, reexport or transfer is deemed to 

make a material contribution, the 

license will be denied. 

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 on dock for loading, on 

lighter, laden aboard an exporting or 

reexporting carrier, or en route aboard a 

carrier to a port of export or reexport on 

March 2, 2007, 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) so long as they are exported or 

reexported before April 2, 2007. Any 

such items not actually exported or 

reexported before midnight on April 2, 

2007 require a license in accordance 

with this rule. 

Since August 21, 2001, the Export 

Administration 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 FR 44551 (Aug. 7, 2006), has 

continued the EAR in effect under the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act. 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 final 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, nor shall any person be 

subject to a penalty for failure to comply 

with, a collection of information subject 

to the requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, unless that collection of 

information displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

Control Number. This rule involves a 

collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This collection has 

been approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget under control 

number 0694–0088, ‘‘Multi-Purpose 

Application,’’ which carries a burden 

hour estimate of 58 minutes for a 

manual or electronic submission. Send 

comments regarding these burden 

estimates or any other aspect of these 

collections of information, including 

suggestions for reducing the burden, to 

David Rostker, Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB), by e-mail to 

David_Rostker@omb.eop.gov, or by fax 

to (202) 395–7285; and to the Office of 

Administration, Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Department of Commerce, 

14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 

Room 6883, Washington, DC 20230. 

3. This rule does not contain policies 

with Federalism implications as that 

term is defined under Executive Order 

13132. 

4. The provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act requiring 

notice of proposed rulemaking, the 

opportunity for public participation, 

and a delay in effective date, are 

inapplicable because this regulation 

involves a military and foreign affairs 

function of the United States (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 final 

rule. Because a notice of proposed 

rulemaking and an opportunity for 

public comment are not required to be 

given for this rule under the 

Administrative Procedure Act or by any 

other law, the analytical requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

601 et seq.) are not applicable. 

Therefore, this regulation is issued in 

final form. Although there is no formal 

comment period, public comments on 

this regulation are welcome on a 

continuing basis. Comments should be 

submitted to Timothy Mooney, Office of 

Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry 

and Security, Department of Commerce, 

P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
