Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 148 / Wednesday, August 1, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 37423 

current, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

Addition of Certain Entities; and 

Modification of Entry on the Entity List 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) by 

adding forty-four entities (eight entities 

and thirty-six subordinate institutions) 

to the Entity List. The entities that are 

being added to the Entity List 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 entities will be 

listed on the Entity List under the 

destination of China. This rule also 

modifies one entry under China to 

provide additional addresses and names 

for the entity at issue. 

DATES: This rule is effective August 1, 

2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to 

part 744) 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 

imposes additional license requirements 

on, and limits the availability of most 

license exceptions for, exports, 

reexports, and transfers (in-country) to 

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 Federal 

Register notice adding entities to the 

Entity List. BIS places entities on the 

Entity List pursuant to sections of part 

744 (Control Policy: End-User and EndUse 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 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 forty-four entities (eight 

entities and thirty-six of their 

subordinate institutions) to the Entity 

List. These entities are being added on 

the basis of § 744.11 (License 

requirements that apply to entities 

acting contrary to the national security 

or foreign policy interests of the United 

States) of the EAR. All of the entities 

added as part of this rule are located in 

China. 

The ERC reviewed § 744.11(b) 

(Criteria for revising the Entity List) in 

making the determination to add these 

entities to the Entity List. Under that 

paragraph, entities for which there is 

reasonable cause to believe, based on 

specific and articulable facts, that the 

entity has been involved, is involved, or 

poses 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, and those acting on behalf of 

such entity, may be added to the Entity 

List. Paragraphs (b)(1) through (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. 

The ERC determined that seventeen 

entities, China Electronic Technology 

Group Corporation (CETC) 13, and 

twelve of its subordinate institutions; 

CETC–55, and two of its subordinate 

institutions; and Hebei Far East 

Communication System Engineering, all 

located in China, be added to the Entity 

List for actions contrary to the national 

security or foreign policy interests of the 

United States. These seventeen entities 

are being added to the Entity List on the 

basis of their involvement in the 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
37424 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 148 / Wednesday, August 1, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

procurement of U.S.-origin items for 

activities contrary to the national 

security and foreign policy interests of 

the United States. Specifically, the ERC 

determined that there is reasonable 

cause to believe, based on specific and 

articulable facts, that all of these entities 

are involved in the illicit procurement 

of commodities and technologies for 

unauthorized military end-use in China. 

The ERC determined that twentyseven entities, China Aerospace Science 

and Industry Corporation Second 

Academy, and thirteen of its 

subordinate institutions; China 

Electronics Technology Group 

Corporation 14th Research Institute, and 

two of its subordinate institutions; 

China Electronics Technology Group 

Corporation 38th Research Institute, and 

seven of its subordinate institutions; 

China Tech Hi Industry Import and 

Export Corporation; and China Volant 

Industry, all located in China, be added 

to the Entity List for actions contrary to 

the national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. The ERC 

determined that for these twenty-seven 

entities there is reasonable cause to 

believe, based on specific and 

articulable facts, that there is an 

unacceptable risk of use in (or diversion 

of U.S.-origin items to) military end-use 

activities in China. 

Pursuant to § 744.11(b) of the EAR, 

the ERC determined that the conduct of 

all forty-four of these entities raises 

sufficient concern that prior review of 

exports, reexports or transfers (incountry) of all items subject to the EAR 

involving these entities, and the 

possible imposition of license 

conditions or license denials on 

shipments to the entities, will enhance 

BIS’s ability to prevent violations of the 

EAR. 

For all forty-four entities added to the 

Entity List in this final rule, BIS 

imposes a license requirement for all 

items subject to the EAR, and a license 

review policy of presumption of denial. 

The license requirements apply to any 

transaction in which items are to be 

exported, reexported or transferred (incountry) to any of the entities or in 

which such entities act as purchaser, 

intermediate consignee, ultimate 

consignee, or end-user. In addition, no 

license exceptions are available for 

exports, reexports or transfers (incountry) to the entities being added to 

the Entity List in this rule. The acronym 

‘‘a.k.a.’’ (also known as) is used in 

entries on the Entity List to identify 

aliases and help exporters, reexporters 

and transferors to better identify entities 

on the Entity List. 

This rule adds the following entities

Modifications to the Entity List 

This final rule implements a decision 

of the ERC to modify one existing entry 

on the Entity List. The ERC made a 

determination to revise one entry under 

the destination of China by adding three 

additional aliases and five additional 

addresses to the entry for Chengdu 

GaStone Technology Co., Ltd. (CGTC), 

for a total of four aliases and nine 

addresses. 

This final rule revises one entry on 

the Entity List to make the 

modifications described above:

Export Administration Act of 1979 

Although the Export Administration 

Act of 1979 expired on August 20, 2001, 

the President, through Executive Order 

13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001 

Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by 

Executive Order 13637 of March 8, 

2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013) and 

as extended by the Notice of August 15, 

2017, 82 FR 39005 (August 16, 2017), 

has continued the Export 

Administration Regulations in effect 

under the International Emergency 

Economic Powers Act. BIS continues to 

carry out the provisions of the Export 

Administration Act of 1979, as 

appropriate and to the extent permitted 

by law, pursuant to Executive Order 

13222, as amended by Executive Order 

13637. 

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 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 OMB under control 

number 0694–0088, Simplified Network 

Application Processing System, which 

includes, among other things, license 

applications, and carries a burden 

estimate of 43.8 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. You may send 

comments regarding the collection of 

information associated with this rule, 

including suggestions for reducing the 

burden, to Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), by 

email to Jasmeet_K._Seehra@

omb.eop.gov, or by fax to (202) 395– 

7285. 

3. This rule does not contain policies 

with Federalism implications as that 

term is defined in Executive Order 

13132. 

4. For the entities added to the Entity 

List in this rule, the provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553) requiring notice of proposed 

rulemaking, the opportunity for public 

participation and a 30-day delay in 

effective date are inapplicable because 

this regulation involves a military or 

foreign affairs function of the United 

States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS’s 

implementation of this rule is necessary 

to protect U.S. national security and 

foreign policy interests by preventing 

items subject to the EAR from being 

exported, reexported, or transferred (incountry) to the entities being added to 

the Entity List. If this rule were delayed 

to allow for notice and comment and a 

delay in effective date, the entities being 

added to the Entity List by this action 

would continue to be able to receive 

items subject to the EAR without a BIS 

license and to conduct activities 

contrary to the national security or 

foreign policy interests of the United 

States. In addition, publishing a 

proposed rule would give these entities 

notice of the U.S. Government’s 

intention to place them on the Entity 

List, which could provide them with an 

incentive to accelerate their receipt of 

items subject to the EAR to conduct 

activities that are contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States, including 

taking steps to set up additional aliases, 

change addresses, and engaging in other 

measures to try to limit the impact of 

the listing on the Entity List once a final 

rule was published. Further, no other 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 148 / Wednesday, August 1, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 37427 

law requires that a notice of proposed 

rulemaking and an opportunity for 

public comment be provided for this 

rule. 

5. The Department finds that there is 

good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) 

to waive the provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) 

requiring prior notice and the 

opportunity for public comment for the 

one modification to an Entity list entry 

included in this rule because doing so 

would be contrary to the public interest. 

In addition, the one change is limited to 

providing additional addresses and 

aliases, which will assist the public in 

more easily identifying the listed entity. 

6. 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.

Office of the Secretary 

32 CFR Part 80 

[Docket ID: DOD–2017–OS–0047] 

RIN 0790–AJ92 

Provision of Early Intervention 

Services to Eligible Infants and 

Toddlers With Disabilities and Their 

Families, and Special Education 

Children With Disabilities Within the 

Section 6 School Arrangements 

AGENCY: Under Secretary of Defense for 

Personnel and Readiness, DoD. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule removes the 

Department of Defense (DoD) regulation 

concerning the provision of early 

intervention services to eligible infants 

and toddlers with disabilities and their 

families, and special education children 

with disabilities within the Section 6 

school arrangements. The contents of 

this part have been updated and 

incorporated into the revision of DoD’s 

regulation at 32 CFR part 57, ‘‘Provision 

of Early Intervention and Special 

Education Services to Eligible DoD 

Dependents.’’ Therefore, this part is 

unnecessary and can be removed from 

the CFR. 

DATES: This rule is effective on August 

1, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Rebecca Lombardi, 571–372–0862. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been 

determined that publication of this CFR 

part removal for public comment is 

impracticable, unnecessary, and 

contrary to public interest since its 

content was incorporated into another 

CFR part for which public comment was 

taken. 

DoD internal guidance concerning the 

provision of early intervention services 

to eligible infants and toddlers with 

disabilities and their families, and 

special education children with 

disabilities within the Section 6 school 

arrangements will continue to be 

published in DoD Instruction 1342.12 

(available at http://www.esd.whs.mil/ 

Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/ 

dodi/134212p.pdf) and DoD Manual 

1342.12 (available at http://

www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/ 

Documents/DD/issuances/dodm/ 

134212m.pdf). This rule is not 

significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 

12866, ‘‘Regulatory Planning and 

Review,’’ therefore, E.O. 13771, 

‘‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling 

Regulatory Costs’’ does not apply. 

List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 80 

Education of individuals with 

disabilities, Government employees, 

Infants and children, Military

PART 80—[REMOVED] 

■ Accordingly, by the authority of 5 

U.S.C. 301, 32 CFR part 80 is removed. 

Dated: July 25, 2018. 

Aaron T. Siegel, 

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison 

Officer, Department of Defense. 

[FR Doc. 2018–16394 Filed 7–31–18; 8:45 am]

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

32 CFR Part 701 

[Docket ID: USN–2017–HQ–0003] 

RIN 0703–AA95 

Availability of Department of the Navy 

Records and Publication of 

Department of the Navy Documents 

Affecting the Public 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, 

Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD’s 

regulation concerning the Department of 

the Navy’s Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) program. The DoD has revised 

their FOIA program rule to include DoD 

component information and has 

removed the requirement for component 

supplementary rules. Therefore, the 

Navy’s FOIA program rule can be 

removed from the CFR. 

DATES: This rule is effective on August 

1, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christopher Julka at 703–697–0031. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 6, 2018 (83 FR 5196–5197), the 

DoD published a revised FOIA program 

rule as a result of the FOIA 

Improvement Act of 2016. When the 

DoD FOIA program rule was revised, it 

included DoD component information 

and removed the requirement for 

component supplementary rules. The 

DoD now has one DoD-level rule for the 

FOIA program at 32 CFR part 286 that 

contains all the codified information 

required for the Department. Therefore, 

32 CFR part 701, subparts A through D, 

can be removed from the CFR. 

It has been determined that 

publication of these subpart removals 

from the CFR for public comment is 

impracticable, unnecessary, and 

contrary to public interest since it is 

based on removing DoD internal 

policies and procedures that are 

publicly available on the Department’s 

website. 

Department of the Navy internal 

guidance concerning the 

implementation of the FOIA within the 

Navy will remain in effect and will 

continue to be published in 

SECNAVINST 5720.42F (available at 

https://doni.daps.dla.mil/Directives/ 

05000%20General%20Management%20

Security%20and%20Safety%20

Services/05-700%20General%20

External%20and%20Internal%20

Relations%20Services/5720.42F.pdf). 

This rule is one of 14 separate DoD 

FOIA rules. With the finalization of the 

DoD-level FOIA rule at 32 CFR part 286, 

the Department is eliminating the need 

for this separate FOIA rule and reducing 

costs to the public as explained in the 

preamble of the DoD-level FOIA rule 

published at 83 FR 5196–5197. 

This rule is not significant under 

Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 

‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review,’’ 

therefore, E.O. 13771, ‘‘Reducing
