[Docket No. 210611–0126] 

RIN 0694–AI55 

Removal of Entity From 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 removing one entity located 

under two entries from the Entity List 

under the destinations of France and the 

United Arab Emirates (UAE). These 

removals from the Entity List are made 

in connection with a request for removal 

that BIS received pursuant to the EAR 

and a review of information provided in 

the request. 

DATES: This rule is effective June 15, 

2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to 

part 744 of the EAR) identifies entities 

for which there is reasonable cause to 

believe, based on specific and 

articulable facts, that the entities have 

been involved, are involved, or 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 

(15 CFR parts 730–774) impose 

additional license requirements on, and 

limit 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 

relevant Federal Register document 

adding entities to the Entity List. BIS 

places entities on the Entity List 

pursuant to part 744 (Control Policy: 

End-User and End-Use Based) and part 

746 (Embargoes and Other Special 

Controls) of the EAR. 

The 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 and the Military End 

User (MEU) List. The ERC makes all 

decisions to add an entry to the Entity 

List and MEU List by majority vote and 

all decisions to remove or modify an 

entry by unanimous vote. 

Entity List Decisions 

Removals From the Entity List 

This rule implements a decision of 

the ERC to remove Satori Corporation, 

an entity located in France and the 

UAE, from the Entity List on the basis 

of a removal request. The entries for 

Satori Corporation under the 

destinations of France and the UAE 

were added to the Entity List on 

December 22, 2020 (85 FR 83420, 

December 22, 2020). The ERC decided 

to remove this one entity with two 

entries based on information BIS 

received pursuant to § 744.16 of the 

EAR and the review the ERC conducted 

in accordance with procedures 

described in supplement no. 5 to part 

744 of the EAR. 

This final rule implements the 

decision to remove the following one 

entity under two entries, located in 

France and the UAE, from the Entity 

List: 

France 

• Satori Corporation. 

UAE 

• Satori Corporation. 

Export Control Reform Act of 2018 

On August 13, 2018, the President 

signed into law the John S. McCain 

National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2019, which included the 

Export Control Reform Act of 2018 

(ECRA) (50 U.S.C. 4801–4852). ECRA 

provides the legal basis for BIS’s 

principal authorities and serves as the 

authority under which BIS issues this 

rule. 

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 final 

rule has been designated to be not 

significant for purposes of Executive 

Order 12866. 

2. Notwithstanding any other 

provision of law, no person is 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 29.6 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. 

3. This rule does not contain policies 

with federalism implications as that 

term is defined in Executive Order 

13132. 

4. 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, opportunity for 

public participation, and delay in 

effective date. 

5. 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.

Import Restrictions Imposed on 

Categories of Archaeological and 

Ethnological Material of Turkey 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security; Department of the Treasury. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) regulations to reflect the 

imposition of import restrictions on 

certain categories of archaeological and 

ethnological material from the Republic 

of Turkey (Turkey). These restrictions 

are being imposed pursuant to an 

agreement between the United States 

and Turkey that has been entered into 

under the authority of the Convention 

on Cultural Property Implementation 

Act. This final rule amends the CBP 

regulations by adding Turkey to the list 

of countries which have a bilateral 

agreement with the United States that 

imposes cultural property import 

restrictions. This final rule also contains 

the Designated List that describes the 

types of archaeological and ethnological 

material to which the restrictions apply. 

DATES: Effective on June 16, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Convention on Cultural Property 

Implementation Act, Public Law 97– 

446, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. (hereinafter, 

‘‘the Cultural Property Implementation 

Act’’) implements the 1970 United 

Nations Educational, Scientific and 

Cultural Organization (UNESCO) 

Convention on the Means of Prohibiting 

and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export 

and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural 

Property (hereinafter, ‘‘the Convention’’ 

(823 U.N.T.S. 231 (1972)). Pursuant to 

the Cultural Property Implementation 

Act, the United States entered into a 

bilateral agreement with the Republic of 

Turkey (Turkey) to impose import 

restrictions on certain archaeological 

and ethnological material from Turkey. 

This rule announces that the United 

States is now imposing import 

restrictions on certain archaeological 

and ethnological material from Turkey. 

Determinations 

Under 19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1), the 

United States must make certain 

determinations before entering into an 

agreement to impose import restrictions 

under 19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(2). On March 

27, 2020, the Assistant Secretary for 

Educational and Cultural Affairs, United 

States Department of State, after 

consultation with and recommendation 

by the Cultural Property Advisory 

Committee, made the determinations 

required under the statute with respect 

to certain archaeological and 

ethnological material originating in 

Turkey that is described in the 

Designated List set forth below in this 

document. 

These determinations include the 

following: (1) That the cultural 

patrimony of Turkey is in jeopardy from 

the pillage of archaeological material 

representing Turkey’s cultural heritage 

dating from approximately 1.2 million 

years ago to A.D. 1770, and ethnological 

material dating from approximately the 

1st century A.D. to A.D. 1923; (2) that 

the Turkish government has taken 

measures consistent with the 

Convention to protect its cultural 

patrimony (19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(B)); (3) 

that import restrictions imposed by the 

United States would be of substantial 

benefit in deterring a serious situation of 

pillage and remedies less drastic are not 

available (19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(C)); and 

(4) that the application of import 

restrictions as set forth in this final rule 

is consistent with the general interests 

of the international community in the 

interchange of cultural property among 

nations for scientific, cultural, and 

educational purposes (19 U.S.C. 

2602(a)(1)(D)). The Assistant Secretary 

also found that the material described in 

the determinations meets the statutory 

definition of ‘‘archaeological or 

ethnological material of the State Party’’ 

(19 U.S.C. 2601(2)). 

The Agreement 

On January 19, 2021, the United 

States and Turkey signed a bilateral 

agreement, ‘‘Memorandum of 

Understanding between the Government 

of the United States of America and the 

Government of the Republic of Turkey 

Concerning the Imposition of Import 

Restrictions on Categories of 

Archaeological and Ethnological 

Material of Turkey’’ (‘‘the Agreement’’), 

pursuant to the provisions of 19 U.S.C. 

2602(a)(2). The Agreement entered into 

force on March 24, 2021, upon the 

exchange of diplomatic notes, and 

enables the promulgation of import 

restrictions on categories of 

archaeological material, ranging in date 

from approximately 1.2 million years 

ago to A.D. 1770, and ethnological 

material, ranging in date from the 1st 

century A.D. to A.D. 1923, representing 

Turkey’s cultural heritage. A list of the 

categories of archaeological and 

ethnological material subject to the 

import restrictions is set forth later in 

this document. 

Restriction and Amendment to the 

Regulations 

In accordance with the Agreement, 

importation of material designated 

below is subject to the restrictions of 19 

U.S.C. 2606 and § 12.104g(a) of title 19 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 

CFR 12.104g(a)) and will be restricted 

from entry into the United States unless 

the conditions set forth in 19 U.S.C. 

2606 and § 12.104c of the CBP 

Regulations (19 CFR 12.104c) are met. 

CBP is amending § 12.104g(a) of the CBP 

Regulations (19 CFR 12.104g(a)) to 

indicate that these import restrictions 

have been imposed. 

Import restrictions listed as 19 CFR 

12.104g(a) are effective for no more than 

five years beginning on the date on 

which the Agreement enters into force 

with respect to the United States. This 

period may be extended for additional 

periods of not more than five years if it 

is determined that the factors which 

justified the Agreement still pertain and 

no cause for suspension of the 

Agreement exists. The import
