Further, the Committee meeting was 

widely publicized throughout the IdahoEastern Oregon potato industry and all 

interested persons were invited to 

attend the meeting and participate in 

Committee deliberations. Like all 

Committee meetings, the April 22, 2014, 

meeting was a public meeting and all 

entities, both large and small, were able 

to express their views on this issue. 

Finally, interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on this interim rule, 

including the regulatory and 

informational impacts of this action on 

small businesses. 

A small business guide on complying 

with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop 

marketing agreements and orders may 

be viewed at: http://www.ams.usda.gov/ 

MarketingOrdersSmallBusinessGuide. 

Any questions about the compliance 

guide should be sent to Jeffrey Smutny 

at the previously mentioned address in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section. 

This rule invites comments on a 

change to the container requirements 

currently prescribed under the IdahoEastern Oregon potato marketing order. 

Any comments received will be 

considered prior to finalization of this 

rule. 

After consideration of all relevant 

material presented, including the 

Committee’s recommendation, and 

other information, it is found that this 

interim rule, as hereinafter set forth, 

will tend to effectuate the declared 

policy of the Act. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, it is also 

found and determined upon good cause 

that it is impracticable, unnecessary, 

and contrary to the public interest to 

give preliminary notice prior to putting 

this rule into effect and that good cause 

exists for not postponing the effective 

date of this rule until 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register 

because: (1) Handlers are currently 

shipping Idaho-Eastern Oregon potatoes; 

(2) this action relaxes current container 

requirements; (3) the Committee 

unanimously recommended this change 

at a public meeting and interested 

parties had an opportunity to provide 

input; and (4) this rule provides a 60- 

day comment period and any comments 

received will be considered prior to 

finalization of this rule.

Russian Oil Industry Sanctions and 

Addition of Person to the Entity List 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS) amends the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR) by adding one person to the 

Entity List. The person who is added to 

the Entity List is located in Russia and

Government to be acting contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. This 

person will be listed on the Entity List 

under the destination of Russia. 

This rule also imposes controls on 

certain items for use in Russia’s energy 

sector intended for energy exploration 

or production from deepwater (greater 

than 500 feet), Arctic offshore, or shale 

projects.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In this rule, the Bureau of Industry 

and Security (BIS) amends the Export 

Administration Regulations (EAR) to 

impose additional sanctions 

implementing U.S. policy toward Russia 

to address that country’s continuing 

policy of destabilization in Ukraine and 

continuing occupation of Crimea and 

Sevastopol. Specifically, in this rule BIS 

adds one person to the Entity List. In 

addition, this rule imposes controls on 

certain items for use in Russia’s energy 

sector intended for exploration or 

production from deepwater (greater than 

500 feet), Arctic offshore, or shale 

projects that have the potential to 

produce oil or gas in Russia. 

A. The Entity List 

The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to 

Part 744) notifies the public about 

entities that have engaged in activities 

that could result in an increased risk of 

the diversion of exported, reexported or 

transferred (in-country) items to 

weapons of mass destruction (WMD) 

programs, activities sanctioned by the 

State Department and activities contrary 

to U.S. national security or foreign 

policy interests, including terrorism and 

export control violations involving 

abuse of human rights. Certain exports, 

reexports, and transfers (in-country) to 

entities identified on the Entity List 

require licenses from BIS and are 

usually subject to a policy of denial. The 

availability of license exceptions in 

such transactions is very limited. The 

license review policy for each entity is 

identified in the license review policy 

column on the Entity List and the 

availability of license exceptions is 

noted in the Federal Register notices 

adding persons to the Entity List. BIS 

places entities on the Entity List based 

on certain sections of part 744 (Control 

Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
45676 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 151 / Wednesday, August 6, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

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. The Departments 

represented on the ERC approved this 

change to the Entity List. 

Addition to the Entity List in This Rule 

This rule implements the decision of 

the ERC to add one person to the Entity 

List 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. The entry added to 

the Entity List consists of one person in 

Russia. 

The ERC reviewed § 744.11(b) 

(Criteria for revising the Entity List) in 

making the determination to add this 

person to the Entity List. Under that 

paragraph, persons for whom there is 

reasonable cause to believe, based on 

specific and articulable facts, have been 

involved, are involved, or pose 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 persons may be 

added to the Entity List. The person 

being added to the Entity List has been 

determined by the ERC to be involved 

in activities that are contrary to the 

national security or foreign policy 

interests of the United States. Those 

activities are described in Executive 

Order 13661 (79 FR 15533), Blocking 

Property of Additional Persons 

Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine, 

issued by the President on March 16, 

2014. This Order expanded the scope of 

the national emergency declared in 

Executive Order 13660, finding that the 

actions and policies of the Government 

of the Russian Federation with respect 

to Ukraine—including the deployment 

of Russian Federation military forces in 

Crimea (Occupied)—undermine 

democratic processes and institutions in 

Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, 

stability, sovereignty, and territorial 

integrity; and contribute to the 

misappropriation of its assets, and 

thereby constitute an unusual and 

extraordinary threat to the national 

security and foreign policy of the United 

States. 

Specifically, Executive Order 13661 

includes a directive that all property 

and interests in property that are in the 

United States, that hereafter come 

within the United States, or that are or 

thereafter come within the possession or 

control of any United States person 

(including any foreign branch) of the 

following persons are blocked and may 

not be transferred, paid, exported, 

withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: 

Persons operating in the defense or 

related materiel sector in the Russian 

Federation. Under Section 8 of the 

Order, all agencies of the United States 

Government are directed to take all 

appropriate measures within their 

authority to carry out the provisions of 

the Order. The Department of the 

Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets 

Control, pursuant to Executive Order 

13661, has designated the following 

person: United Shipbuilding 

Corporation. In conjunction with that 

designation, the Department of 

Commerce adds to the Entity List under 

this rule and imposes a license 

requirement for exports, reexports, or 

transfers (in-country) to this blocked 

person. This license requirement 

implements an appropriate measure 

within the authority of the EAR to carry 

out the provisions of Executive Order 

13661. 

The person added to the Entity List in 

this rule under Executive Order 13661 

operates in the Russian Federation’s 

defense or related materiel sector. 

United Shipbuilding Corporation is a 

Russian state-owned company that 

manufactures, among other things, 

ordnance and accessories, and is 

engaged in shipbuilding, repair, and 

maintenance. Therefore, pursuant to 

§ 744.11 of the EAR, the conduct of this 

person raises sufficient concern that 

prior review of exports, reexports, or 

transfers (in-country) of items subject to 

the EAR involving this person, and the 

possible imposition of license 

conditions or license denials on 

shipments to these persons, will 

enhance BIS’s ability to protect the 

foreign policy and national security 

interests of the United States. 

For the person added to the Entity 

List, there is 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 

(in-country) to any of the persons or in 

which such persons 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 person being added to 

the Entity List in this rule. 

This final rule adds the following 

person to the Entity List: 

Russia 

1. United Shipbuilding Corporation, 

a.k.a., the following four aliases: 

—Obedinennaya Sudostroitelnaya 

Korporatsiya OAO; 

—OJSC United Shipbuilding 

Corporation; and 

—United Shipbuilding Corporation 

Joint Stock Company; and 

—OSK OAO. 

90, Marata ul., St. Petersburg 191119, 

Russia; and 11, Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya 

str., Moscow 123242, Russia. 

B. Change to the license requirements 

and review policy for Russia 

This final rule makes the following 

additional changes to the EAR to 

implement changes to the license 

requirements and review policy for 

Russia. 

Section 732.3 Steps Regarding the Ten 

General Prohibitions 

In paragraph (d)(4), this rule adds 

Russia to the list of countries that are 

subject to other special controls 

provisions. Specifically, this paragraph 

indicates that the Commerce Country 

Chart in Supplement No. 1 to part 738 

sets forth license requirements for 

Russia, and part 746 sets out additional 

license requirements. In paragraph (i), 

this rule also adds a sentence 

referencing § 746.5 for Russian Industry 

Sector Sanctions. 

Supplement No. 1 to Part 738— 

Commerce Country Chart 

This rule adds a new footnote 6 

designation for Russia to alert members 

of the public to additional license 

requirements pursuant to § 746.5 

Russian Industry Sector Sanctions for 

ECCNs 0A998, 1C992, 3A229, 3A231, 

3A232, 6A991, 8A992, and 8D999. 

Section 740.2 Restrictions on All 

License Exceptions 

This rule revises § 740.2(a)(6) by 

adding restrictions on license exception 

eligibility when a license is required 

under limited sanctions for specified 

countries, unless a license exception or 

portion thereof is specifically listed in 

the license exceptions paragraph 

pertaining to a particular sanctioned 

country. Specifically, Russia (§ 746.5) is 

added. This change clarifies restrictions 

for license exceptions that are not 

specifically authorized to countries 

under limited sanctions in part 746, as 

well as implementing this restriction for 

the limited sanctions on Russia. 

Section 742.4 National Security 

This rule removes Russia’s favorable 

license review status under national 

security reasons for control in 

§ 742.4(b)(5). In light of recent actions 

by Russia and the sanctions that the 

U.S. and other countries are placing on 

Russia, this favorable license review 

status is removed. As a result of this 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 151 / Wednesday, August 6, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 45677 

rule, Russia will no longer receive the 

enhanced favorable licensing treatment 

previously afforded to Russia under 

§ 742.4(b)(5). Instead, the licensing 

policy for Russia will be the general 

licensing policy for countries in Country 

Group D:1 as set forth in § 742.4(b)(2). 

Kazakhstan and Mongolia will continue 

to receive enhanced favorable licensing 

treatment under § 742.4(b)(5). 

Section 746.1 Introduction 

This rule redesignates paragraph (c) as 

paragraph (d) and adds a new paragraph 

(c) to explain where to find the Russian 

Industry Sector Sanctions in part 746, as 

well as where these sanctions are 

referenced in the EAR. 

Section 746.5 Russian Industry Sector 

Sanctions 

This rule adds new § 746.5 entitled 

Russian Industry Sector Sanctions. This 

section imposes controls on the export, 

reexport or transfer (in-country) of any 

item subject to the EAR listed in 

Supplement No. 2 to this part and items 

specified in ECCNs 0A998, 1C992, 

3A229, 3A231, 3A232, 6A991, 8A992, 

and 8D999 when the exporter, 

reexporter or transferor knows or is 

informed that the item will be used 

directly or indirectly in Russia’s energy 

sector for exploration or production 

from deepwater (greater than 500 feet), 

Arctic offshore, or shale projects in 

Russia that have the potential to 

produce oil or gas or is unable to 

determine whether the item will be used 

in such projects in Russia. 

Such items include, but are not 

limited to, drilling rigs, parts for 

horizontal drilling, drilling and 

completion equipment, subsea 

processing equipment, Arctic-capable 

marine equipment, wireline and down 

hole motors and equipment, drill pipe 

and casing, software for hydraulic 

fracturing, high pressure pumps, 

seismicc acquisition equipment, 

remotely operated vehicles, 

compressors, expanders, valves, and 

risers. No license exceptions may 

overcome the license requirements set 

forth in § 746.5, except License 

Exception GOV § 740.11(b). 

The license review policy for all items 

requiring a license for export to Russia 

is presumption of denial when there is 

potential for use directly or indirectly 

for exploration or production from 

deepwater (greater than 500 feet), Arctic 

offshore, or shale projects in Russia that 

have the potential to produce oil. To 

assist in the identification of such 

license applications, this rule indicates 

that license applications submitted to 

BIS under this section may include the 

phrase ‘‘section 746.5’’ in Block 9 

(Special Purpose) in Supplement No. 1 

to part 748. 

Supplement No. 2 to Part 746—Russian 

Industry Sector Sanctions List 

This rule adds Supplement No. 2 to 

Part 746 to a supplement that was 

previously reserved under the EAR. 

This new Supplement No. 2 identifies 

items that are subject to the new § 746.5 

Russian Industry Sector Sanctions, in 

addition to the five ECCNs identified in 

that section. The items identified in new 

Supplement No. 2 are set forth as 

‘‘Schedule B numbers.’’ A Schedule B 

number is a 10-digit commodity 

classification number administered by 

the Census Bureau and is used for 

reporting foreign trade. The source for 

the Schedule B numbers and 

descriptions in this list is the Bureau of 

the Census’s Schedule B concordance of 

exports 2014. Census’s Schedule B List 

2014 can be found at http://

www.census.gov/foreign-trade/

schedules/b/2014/index.html. 

Supplement No. 1 to Part 774— 

Commerce Control List 

ECCNs 1C992, 3A229, 3A231, 3A232, 

6A991, and 8A992 are amended by 

revising the License Requirements 

sections to add a license requirement 

that applies to these ECCNs when 

destined to Russia pursuant to § 746.5 of 

the EAR. 

ECCN 0A998 is added to control 

specific oil and gas exploration items, 

including software and data. Many U.S. 

companies are hired to provide or 

analyze seismic or other types of data in 

order to assist in oil exploration. This 

data does not come within the 

definition of ‘‘technology,’’ as it does 

not pertain to the development, 

production or use of listed commodities 

or software, and is not specific 

information necessary for any of the 

following: Operation, installation, 

maintenance, repair, overhaul, 

refurbishing, or other terms specified in 

ECCNs on the CCL that control 

technology. However, this data product 

obtained through the analysis of raw 

seismic or other types of data is a 

commodity sold by companies. Such 

data is now controlled under this new 

entry. The Commerce Country Chart in 

Supplement No. 1 to part 738 is not 

designed to provide license 

requirements for this type of license 

requirement. In addition, BIS is making 

an exception to its general policy of not 

including software in A group ECCNs 

and is including oil and gas exploration 

software in ECCN 0A998. For more 

precise information about the license 

requirement and license review policy 

under the Russian Industry Sector 

Sanctions, see § 746.5 of the EAR. 

ECCN 8D999 is added to the 

Commerce Control List to control 

software specially designed for the 

operation of unmanned vessels used in 

the oil and gas industry of Russia. For 

more information about the license 

requirements and license review policy 

under the Russian Industry Sector 

Sanctions, see § 746.5 of the EAR. 

No Savings Clause 

Given the foreign policy objective of 

this rule, there is no savings clause in 

this rule. Accordingly, shipments of 

items removed from eligibility for a 

License Exception or export or reexport 

without a license (NLR) as a result of 

this regulatory action that were en route 

aboard a carrier to a port of export or 

reexport, on August 6, 2014, pursuant to 

actual orders for export or reexport to a 

foreign destination, may not proceed to 

that destination under the previous 

eligibility for a License Exception or 

export or reexport without a license 

(NLR). 

Foreign Policy Report 

The application of Russian Industry 

Sector Sanctions controls to the items 

covered by this rule imposes a foreign 

policy control. Section 6(f) of the Export 

Administration Act requires that a 

report be delivered to Congress before 

imposing such controls. The report was 

delivered to Congress on August 1, 

2014. 

Export Administration Act 

Although the Export Administration 

Act 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 8, 

2013, 78, 2013, 78 FR 49107 (August 12, 

2013), 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, 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
45678 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 151 / Wednesday, August 6, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

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. 

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. The provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553) requiring notice of proposed 

rulemaking, the opportunity for public 

comment 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)). BIS implements this 

rule to advance U.S. policy toward 

Russia and therefore protect U.S. 

national security or foreign policy 

interests by preventing items from being 

exported, reexported, or transferred (in 

country) to the person being added to 

the Entity List, and for use in Russia’s 

energy sector intended for exploration 

or production from deepwater (greater 

than 500 feet), Arctic offshore, or shale 

projects that have the potential to 

produce oil. If this rule were delayed to 

allow for notice and comment and a 

delay in effective date, then the entity 

being added to the Entity List by this 

action would continue to be able to 

receive items without a 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 this party notice of the U.S. 

Government’s intention to place the 

person on the Entity List and would 

create an incentive for this person to 

either accelerate receiving items subject 

to the EAR to conduct activities that are 

contrary to the national security or 

foreign policy interests of the United 

States, and/or to take steps to set up 

additional aliases, change addresses, 

and other measures to try to limit the 

impact of the listing on the Entity List 

once a final rule was published. In 

addition, U.S. national security and 

foreign policy also would be 

undermined by not immediately 

restricting the export, reexport or 

transfer (in-country) of certain items 

related to the energy sector in Russia. 

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. Accordingly, 

no regulatory flexibility analysis is 

required and none has been prepared.

(c) Russian Industry Sector Sanctions. 

The Russian Industry Sector Sanctions 

are set forth under § 746.5 and 

referenced under the License 

Requirements section of certain Export 

Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 

in Supplement No. 1 to part 774

Chart in Supplement No. 1 to part 738. 

* * * * * 

■ 13. Add § 746.5 to read as follows: 

§ 746.5 Russian Industry Sector 

Sanctions. 

(a) License requirements. (1) General 

prohibition. As authorized by Section 6 

of the Export Administration Act of 

1979, a license is required to export, 

reexport or transfer (in-country) any 

item subject to the EAR listed in 

Supplement No. 2 to this part and items 

specified in ECCNs 0A998, 1C992, 

3A229, 3A231, 3A232, 6A991, 8A992, 

and 8D999 when you know that the 

item will be used directly or indirectly 

in exploration for, or production of, oil 

or gas in Russian deepwater (greater 

than 500 feet) or Arctic offshore 

locations or shale formations in Russia, 

or are unable to determine whether the 

item will be used in such projects. Such 

items include, but are not limited to, 

drilling rigs, parts for horizontal 

drilling, drilling and completion 

equipment, subsea processing 

equipment, Arctic-capable marine 

equipment, wireline and down hole 

motors and equipment, drill pipe and 

casing, software for hydraulic fracturing, 

high pressure pumps, seismic 

acquisition equipment, remotely 

operated vehicles, compressors, 

expanders, valves, and risers. You 

should be aware that other provisions of 

the EAR, including parts 742 and 744, 

also apply to exports and reexports to 

Russia. License applications submitted 

to BIS under this section may include 

the phrase ‘‘section 746.5’’ in Block 9 

(Special Purpose) in Supplement No. 1 

to part 748. 

(2) Additional prohibition on those 

informed by BIS. BIS may inform 

persons, either individually by specific 

notice or through amendment to the 

EAR, that a license is required for a 

specific export, reexport or transfer (incountry) or for the export, reexport, or 

transfer (in-country) of specified items 

to a certain end-user, because there is an 

unacceptable risk of use in, or diversion 

to, the activities specified in paragraph 

(a)(1) of this section in Russia. Specific 

notice is to be given only by, or at the 

direction of, the Deputy Assistant 

Secretary for Export Administration. 

When such notice is provided orally, it 

will be followed by a written notice 

within two working days signed by the 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 

Administration. However, the absence 

of any such notification does not excuse 

persons from compliance with the 

license requirements of paragraph (a)(1) 

of this section. 

(b) Licensing policy. Applications for 

the export, reexport or transfer (incountry) of any item that requires a 

license for Russia will be reviewed with 

a presumption of denial when for use 

directly or indirectly for exploration or 

production from deepwater (greater than 

500 feet), Arctic offshore, or shale 

projects in Russia that have the 

potential to produce oil. 

(c) License exceptions. No license 

exceptions may overcome the license 

requirements set forth in this section, 

except License Exception GOV 

(§ 740.11(b)).
