Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations Based on the 
2014 Missile Technology Control Regime Plenary Agreements

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 reflect changes to the 
Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex that were agreed to by 
MTCR member countries at the September and October 2014 Plenary in 
Oslo, Norway, and pursuant to the 2014 Technical Experts Meeting in 
Prague, Czech Republic. This rule also makes conforming changes to 
correlate the Commerce Control List (CCL) (Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 
of the EAR) with the current MTCR Annex. This final rule revises six 
Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) to implement the changes 
that were agreed to at the meetings and to better align the MT controls 
on the CCL with the MTCR Annex.

DATES: This rule is effective April 7, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The MTCR is an export control arrangement among 34 nations, 
including most of the world's suppliers of advanced missiles and 
missile-related equipment, materials, software and technology. The 
regime establishes a common list of controlled items (the Annex) and a 
common export control policy (the Guidelines) that member countries 
implement in accordance with their national export controls. The MTCR 
seeks to limit the risk of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction 
by controlling exports of goods and technologies that could make a 
contribution to delivery systems (other than manned aircraft) for such 
weapons.
    In 1992, the MTCR's original focus on missiles for nuclear weapons 
delivery was expanded to include the proliferation of missiles for the 
delivery of all types of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), i.e., 
nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. Such proliferation has been 
identified as a threat to international peace and security. One way to 
counter this threat is to maintain vigilance over the transfer of 
missile equipment, material, and related technologies usable for 
systems capable of delivering WMD. MTCR members voluntarily pledge to 
adopt the regime's export Guidelines and to restrict the export of 
items contained in the regime's Annex. The regime's Guidelines are 
implemented through the national export control laws, regulations and 
policies of the regime members.

Amendments to the Export Administration Regulations

    This final rule revises the EAR to reflect changes to the MTCR 
Annex agreed to at the September and October 2014 Plenary in Oslo, 
Norway and pursuant to the 2014 Technical Experts Meeting in Prague, 
Czech Republic. Corresponding MTCR Annex references are provided below 
for the MTCR Annex changes agreed to at the meetings. This rule also 
makes three conforming changes to correlate the Commerce Control List 
(CCL) (Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the EAR) with the current MTCR 
Annex. These conforming changes are made to better align the MT 
controls on the CCL with the MTCR Annex. In the explanation below for 
the revisions made in this rule, BIS identifies these changes as 
follows: ``Oslo 2014 Plenary,'' ``Prague 2014 TEM,'' and ``CCL 
Conforming Change to MTCR Annex'' to assist the public in understanding 
the origin of each change included in this final rule.
    Specifically, the following six ECCNs are affected by the changes 
set forth in this final rule:
    ECCN 1C111. This final rule amends ECCN 1C111 by revising paragraph 
a.1 in the List of Items Controlled section to correct an omission 
error in the ISO standard referenced in order to reference the proper 
standard. Specifically, this final rule adds a dash and the number one 
``-1'' after the number 2591, so the ISO standard correctly reads ``ISO 
2591-1:1988.'' (MTCR Annex Change, Category II: Item 4.C.2.c., Prague 
2014 TEM). This change is not expected to have any impact on the number 
of license applications received by BIS.
    ECCN 1C111. This final rule also amends ECCN 1C111 by revising the 
Technical Note to paragraph b.5 and paragraphs d.7, d.14 and d.18 in 
the List of Items Controlled section to add CAS (Chemical Abstracts 
Service) Numbers. CAS Numbers are a numerical identifier assigned by 
the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) to every chemical substance 
described in the open scientific literature, including organic and 
inorganic compounds, minerals, isotopes and alloys. The inclusion of 
CAS Numbers will make it easier to identify the materials controlled 
under these ``items'' paragraphs of 1C111. Specifically, this final 
rule revises the Technical Note to paragraph b.5 to add the CAS Number 
``(CAS 110-63-4)'' after the material ``poly 1,4-Butanediol'' and the 
CAS Number ``(CAS 25322-68-3)'' after the material ``polyethylene 
glycol (PEG).'' (MTCR Annex Change, Category II: Item 4.C.5.g., Oslo 
2014 Plenary). This final rule revises paragraph d.7 to add the CAS 
Number ``(CAS 5164-11-4)'' after ``N,N diallylhydrazine.'' (MTCR Annex 
Change, Category II: Item 4.C.2.b.6., Oslo 2014 Plenary). This final 
rule revises paragraph d.14 to add the CAS Number ``(CAS 13464-98-7)'' 
after the material ``Hydrazinium dinitrate.'' (MTCR Annex Change, 
Category II: Item 4.C.2.b.13., Oslo 2014 Plenary). Lastly, this final 
rule revises paragraph d.18 to add the CAS Number ``(CAS 29674-96-2)'' 
after the material ``Methylhydrazine nitrate (MHN).'' (MTCR Annex 
Change, Category II: Item 4.C.2.b.18., Oslo 2014 Plenary). These 
changes are not expected to have any impact on the number of license 
applications received by BIS.
    ECCN 3A101. This final rule revises paragraph a.2.a to remove 
paragraph a.2.a.1 and revises paragraph a.2.b to remove paragraph 
a.2.b.1 in the List of Items Controlled section because the 
quantization requirement was removed in the MTCR Annex. This final rule 
also redesignates paragraph a.2.a.2 as new paragraph a.2.a.1, and 
paragraph a.2.a.3 as new paragraph a.2.a.2 as a conforming change to 
the removal of items paragraph a.2.a.1. This final rule also 
redesignates paragraph a.2.b.2 as new paragraph a.2.b.1 and paragraph 
a.2.b.3 as new paragraph a.2.b.2 as a conforming change to the removal 
of paragraph a.2.b.1. (MTCR Annex Change, Category II: Item 14.A.1.,

[[Page 18523]]

Prague 2014 TEM). Paragraphs a.2.a and a.2.b are being revised to 
correspond with advances in technology. MTCR partners agreed it was no 
longer necessary to specify that the analogue-to-digital converters 
have an 8 bit quantization, as most microcircuits will have this 
capability. Those at 8 bits or above will remain controlled by ECCN 
3A001.a.5.a., while the revised 3A101.a will cover those less than 8-
bits. Although this change expands the scope of the 3A101, this change 
is not expected to have any impact on the number of license 
applications received by BIS because very few microcircuits are 
currently classified under this ECCN.
    ECCN 9A106. This final rule revises paragraph d and the Note to 
paragraph d in the List of Items Controlled section. (MTCR Annex 
Change, Category II: Item 3.A.5., Oslo 2014 Plenary). This final rule 
revises ``items'' paragraph d by removing the term ``and'' and then 
adding the phrase ``and gel'' before the term ``propellant.'' Paragraph 
d, as a result of this change, will now control liquid, slurry and gel 
propellant control systems. These changes to paragraph d are being made 
to better control the components of propellant control systems, as well 
as to clarify how the parameters are applied in the context of 9A106. 
The term ``gel'' needs to be added to the control parameter of 9A106.d 
because gel is not technically a slurry. Therefore, in order to ensure 
that all of the intended propellant control systems are adequately 
described under this paragraph d, the term ``gel'' needs to be added.
    Also in ECCN 9A106, this final rule revises the Note to paragraph d 
to delete the term ``and'' in the introductory text and to add the 
phrase ``and gas turbines'' after the term ``pumps'' to clarify only 
servo valves, pumps and gas turbines that are specified under 
paragraphs a, b or c are classified under 9A106.d. In addition, this 
final rule clarifies the scope of the Note to paragraph d by adding the 
phrase ``at the maximum operating mode'' after the control parameter 
8,000 rpm to add greater specificity for how to apply this control 
parameter. Lastly, this final rule adds a new paragraph c to the Note 
to paragraph d to specify that gas turbines, for liquid propellant 
turbopumps, with shaft speeds equal to or greater than 8,000 rpm at the 
maximum operating mode are also controlled under 9A106.d. The changes 
will result in an expansion of the control parameter, so this change is 
expected to result in an increase of 1-2 applications received annually 
by BIS.
    ECCN 9A110. This final rule revises the heading of ECCN 9A110. 
(Category II: Item 6.A.1., CCL Conforming Change to MTCR Annex). Prior 
to publication of this final rule, the heading of 9A110 included 
references to several ECCNs that are ``subject to the ITAR'' that 
themselves refer to the USML. The heading structure of 9A110 was 
slightly convoluted and difficult to understand. Therefore, this final 
rule revises the heading of 9A110 to make the control parameter simpler 
and clearer. The revisions do not change the scope of control of 9A110. 
These revisions to the heading of 9A110, and the additions of 9A604.f 
and 9A610.t described below, will better reflect the control text of 
the MTCR Annex with the added benefits of being simpler and easier to 
understand, in particular for where composite materials for commercial 
UAVs (under 9A110) are classified on the CCL and where composite 
materials for military UAVs (under 9A604.f and 9A610.t) are classified 
on the CCL. This change to 9A110 is not expected to have any impact on 
the number of license applications received by BIS.
    ECCN 9A604. This final rule adds a new paragraph .f in the List of 
Items Controlled section. (Category II: Item 6.A.1., CCL Conforming 
Change to MTCR Annex). Paragraph f will control composite structures, 
laminates and manufactures thereof ``specially designed'' for the items 
controlled under USML Category IV that are specified in paragraphs f.1-
f.7. Such commodities previously were classified under ECCN 9A604.x. 
This final rule adds a new paragraph f to allow a clearer 
identification of these commodities and for the designation of MT 
license requirements. This final rule also revises the ``MT'' control 
in the Reason for Control paragraph in the License Requirements section 
to add 9A604.f to the MT control. This addition of 9A604.f is made for 
consistency with the MTCR Annex. Those composite structures, laminates 
and manufactures thereof ``specially designed'' for items controlled 
under USML IV but that do not meet the MTCR thresholds remain 
controlled under 9A604.x. This change is not expected to have any 
impact on the number of license applications received by BIS.
    ECCN 9A610. This final rule adds a new paragraph t in the List of 
Items Controlled section. (Category II: Item 6.A.1., CCL Conforming 
Change to MTCR Annex). Paragraph t will control composite structures, 
laminates and manufacturers thereof ``specially designed'' for unmanned 
aerial vehicles controlled under USML Category VIII(a) with a range 
equal to or greater than 300 km. Such commodities previously were 
classified under ECCNs 9A610.x. This final rule adds new paragraph t to 
allow a clearer identification of these commodities and also for 
consistency with the MTCR Annex. This final rule also makes two 
conforming changes in the Reason for Control paragraph in the License 
Requirements section. First, this final rule revises the ``NS'' control 
in the Reason for Control paragraph in the License Requirements section 
to add the new 9A610.t to the list of 9A610 commodities that are not 
subject to the ``NS'' control. Second, this final rule revises the 
``MT'' control in the Reason for Control paragraph in the License 
Requirements section to add 9A610.t to the MT control. Lastly, this 
final rule revises the Related Control in the List of Items Controlled 
section to remove Related Controls paragraph (2) because it is no 
longer needed due to the revisions made to 9A110, 9A604 and 9A610. BIS 
evaluated whether adding a Related Controls reference in 9A110 to 
9A604.f and 9A610.t would be helpful, but decided it was not needed 
because the CCL Order of Review in Supplement No. 4 to part 774 already 
directs persons to review the 9x515 and ``600 series'' ECCNs prior to 
reviewing other ECCNs on the CCL. This change is not expected to have 
any impact on the number of license applications received by BIS.

Savings Clause

    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 on dock for loading, on lighter, laden 
aboard an exporting or reexporting carrier, or enroute aboard a carrier 
to a port of export or reexport, on April 7, 2015, 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 May 7, 2015. Any such items not actually 
exported or reexported before midnight, on May 7, 2015, require a 
license in accordance with this rule.

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 7, 2014, 79 FR 46959 (August 11, 2014),

[[Page 18524]]

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.

Regulatory 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, 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 rule has been determined to be significant for 
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person may be 
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 
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 expected 
to increase slightly 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 under E.O. 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553) 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)). Immediate 
implementation of these amendments fulfills the United States' 
international commitments to the MTCR. The MTCR contributes to 
international peace and security by promoting greater responsibility in 
transfers of missile technology items that could make a contribution to 
delivery systems (other than manned aircraft) for weapons of mass 
destruction. The MTCR consists of 34 member countries that act on a 
consensus basis and the changes set forth in this rule implement 
agreements reached by MTCR member countries at the September and 
October 2014 Plenary in Oslo, Norway and at the 2014 Technical Experts 
Meeting in Prague, Czech Republic Since the United States is a 
significant exporter of the items in this rule, implementation of this 
provision is necessary for the MTCR to achieve its purpose. Moreover, 
it is in the public interest to waive the notice and comment 
requirements, as any delay in implementing this rule will disrupt the 
movement of affected items globally because of disharmony between 
export control measures implemented by MTCR members. Export controls 
work best when all countries implement the same export controls in a 
timely manner. If this rulemaking were delayed to allow for notice and 
comment and a 30 day delay in effectiveness, it would prevent the 
United States from fulfilling its commitment to the MTCR in a timely 
manner, would injure the credibility of the United States in this and 
other multilateral regimes, and may impair the international 
communities' ability to effectively control the export of certain 
potentially national- and international-security-threatening materials.
    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.
