[Docket No. 231214–0304] 

RIN 0694–AJ49 

Additions to the Unverified List 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS) is amending the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) by 

adding 13 persons to the Unverified List 

(UVL). The 13 persons are added to the 

UVL on the basis that BIS was unable 

to verify their bona fides. All 13 persons 

are being added under the destination of 

the People’s Republic of China (China). 

DATES: This rule is effective: December 

19, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kevin J. Kurland, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary for Export Enforcement, 

Phone: (202) 482–4255 or by email at 

UVLRequest@bis.doc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The UVL, found in supplement no. 6 

to part 744 of the EAR (15 CFR parts 

730–774), contains the names and 

addresses of foreign persons who are or 

have been parties to a transaction, as 

described in § 748.5 of the EAR, 

involving the export, reexport, or 

transfer (in-country) of items subject to 

the EAR. These foreign persons are 

added to the UVL because BIS or federal 

officials acting on BIS’s behalf were 

unable to verify their bona fides (i.e., 

legitimacy and reliability relating to the 

end-use and end user of items subject to 

the EAR) through an end-use check. 

These checks, such as a pre-license 

check (PLC) or a post-shipment 

verification (PSV), cannot be completed 

satisfactorily for reasons outside the 

U.S. Government’s control. 

There are a number of reasons why 

these checks cannot be completed to the 

satisfaction of the U.S. Government. 

Section 744.15(c)(1) of the EAR provides 

illustrative examples of those 

circumstances, including reasons 

unrelated to the cooperation of the 

foreign party subject to the end-use 

check. Such examples include: (i) 

During the conduct of an end-use check, 

the subject of the check is unable to 

demonstrate the disposition of items 

subject to the EAR; (ii) The existence or 

authenticity of the subject of an end-use 

check cannot be verified (e.g., the 

subject of the check cannot be located 

or contacted); (iii) Lack of cooperation 

by the host government authority 

prevents an end-use check from being 

conducted. 

BIS’s inability to confirm the bona 

fides of foreign persons subject to enduse checks raises concerns about the 

suitability of such persons as 

participants in future exports, reexports, 

or transfers (in-country) of items subject 

to the EAR; it also indicates a risk that 

such items may be diverted to 

prohibited end uses and/or end users. 

Under such circumstances, there may 

not be sufficient information to add the 

foreign person at issue to the Entity List 

under § 744.11 of the EAR. Therefore, 

BIS may add the foreign person to the 

UVL. 

As provided in § 740.2(a)(17) of the 

EAR, the use of license exceptions for 

exports, reexports, and transfers (incountry) involving a party or parties to 

the transaction who are listed on the 

UVL is suspended. Additionally, under 

§ 744.15(b) of the EAR, there is a 

requirement for exporters, reexporters, 

and transferors to obtain (and maintain 

a record of) a UVL statement from a 

party or parties to the transaction who 

are listed on the UVL before proceeding 

with exports, reexports, and transfers 

(in-country) to such persons, when the 

exports, reexports and transfers (incountry) are not subject to a license 

requirement. Finally, pursuant to 

§ 758.1(b)(8), Electronic Export 

Information (EEI) must be filed in the 

Automated Export System (AES) for all 

exports of tangible items subject to the 

EAR where any party to the transaction, 

as described in § 748.5(d) through (f), is 

listed on the UVL. 

Requests for the removal of a UVL 

entry must be made in accordance with 

§ 744.15(d) of the EAR. Decisions 

regarding the removal or modification of 

a UVL entry will be made by the Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Export 

Enforcement, based on a demonstration 

by the listed person of their bona fides. 

Additions to the UVL 

This rule adds 13 persons to the UVL 

by amending supplement no. 6 to part 

744 of the EAR to include their names 

and addresses. BIS is adding these 

persons pursuant to § 744.15(c) of the 

EAR. This final rule implements the 

decision to add the following 13 persons 

located in China to the UVL: 

China 

• Beijing Jin Sheng Bo Yue 

Technology Co., Ltd.; 

• Beijing Shengbo Xietong 

Technology Co., Ltd.; 

• Fulian Precision Electronics

87898 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 20, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

Savings Clause 

Shipments (1) that are removed from 

license exception eligibility or that are 

now subject to requirements in § 744.15 

of the EAR as a result of this regulatory 

action; (2) that were eligible for export, 

reexport, or transfer (in-country) 

without a license before this regulatory 

action; and (3) that were on dock for 

loading, on lighter, laden aboard an 

exporting carrier, or en route aboard a 

carrier to a port of export, on December 

19, 2023, pursuant to actual orders, may 

proceed to that UVL listed person under 

the previous license exception 

eligibility or without a license and 

pursuant to the export clearance 

requirements set forth in part 758 of the 

EAR that applied prior to this person 

being listed on the UVL, so long as the 

items have been exported from the 

United States, reexported or transferred 

(in-country) before January 18, 2024. 

Any such items not actually exported, 

reexported or transferred (in-country) 

before midnight on January 18, 2024, are 

subject to the requirements in § 744.15 

of the EAR in accordance with this 

regulation. 

Rulemaking Requirements 

Executive Order Requirements 

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, distribute 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 final rule has not been 

designated a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866. 

This rule does not contain policies 

with Federalism implications as that 

term is defined under Executive Order 

13132. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

Requirements 

Notwithstanding any other provision 

of law, no person is required to respond 

to, nor is 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. 

The UVL additions contain 

collections of information approved by 

OMB under the following control 

numbers: 

• OMB Control Number 0694–0088— 

Simple Network Application Process 

and Multipurpose Application Form 

• OMB Control Number 0694–0122— 

Miscellaneous Licensing 

Responsibilities and Enforcement 

• OMB Control Number 0694–0134— 

Entity List and Unverified List 

Requests, 

• OMB Control Number 0694–0137— 

License Exemptions and Exclusions. 

BIS believes that the overall increases 

in burdens and costs will be minimal 

and will fall within the already 

approved amounts for these existing 

collections. Additional information 

regarding these collections of 

information—including all background 

materials—can be found at https://

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain by 

using the search function to enter either 

the title of the collection or the OMB 

Control Number. 

Administrative Procedure Act and 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Requirements 

Pursuant to Section 1762 of ECRA (50 

U.S.C. 4821), this action is exempt from 

the Administrative Procedure Act (5 

U.S.C. 553) requirements for notice of 

proposed rulemaking and opportunity 

for public participation. 

Further, no other law requires notice 

of proposed rulemaking or opportunity 

for public comment for this interim final 

rule. Because a notice of proposed 

rulemaking and an opportunity for 

public comment are not required 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.
