Revision to the Commerce Control

List: Items Controlled for Nuclear

Nonproliferation Reasons, Addition of

Argentina, New Zealand, Poland, South

Africa, and South Korea to GNSG

Eligible Countries

AGENCY: Bureau of Export

Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Interim rule.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Export

Administration (BXA) maintains the

Commerce Control List (CCL), which

identifies those items subject to the

Export Administration Regulations. The

items on the CCL that are subject to

nuclear nonproliferation controls are

referred to as the Nuclear Referral List

(NRL). This interim rule amends a

number of Export Control Classification

Numbers (ECCNs) on the CCL in order

to make the NRL conform more closely

with the items contained in the Annex

to the ‘‘Nuclear-Related Dual-Use

Equipment, Materials, and Related

Technology List’’ (the Annex) published

by the International Atomic Energy

Agency and adhered to by the United

States and other subscribing

governments in the Nuclear Suppliers

Group.

In addition, this rule removes Poland

from General License GNSG national

security item country restrictions. In

May 1994, Poland was moved from

Country Group W to Country Group V

to conform with changes in licensing

policies for national security-based

proscribed countries.

Lastly, this rule adds Argentina, New

Zealand, South Africa and South Korea

to the countries that are eligible to

receive exports under General License

GNSG, because they were admitted to

the Nuclear Suppliers Group. The

subscribing governments have agreed to

establish export licensing procedures for

the transfer of items identified on the

Annex.

While some of the changes in this rule

increase the validated license

requirements for certain commodities

and technology, the fact that other

member countries of the Nuclear

Suppliers Group have agreed to

implement equivalent export licensing

procedures for these items and the

addition of GNSG eligible countries

should limit the economic impact on

U.S. exporters.

DATES: This rule is effective February 1,

1996. Comments must be received by

March 4, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments (six

copies) should be sent to Sharron Cook,

Department of Commerce, Bureau of

Export Administration, Office of

Exporter Services, Regulation Policy

Division, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC

20044.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

This rule amends a number of entries

on the Commerce Control List (CCL) by

revising the items that are subject to

nuclear non-proliferation controls, i.e.,

the Nuclear Referral List (NRL). As more

fully described in § 778.2 of the EAR,

NRL items are defined as those ‘‘that

could be of significance for nuclear

explosive purposes if used for activities

other than those authorized at the time

of export’’. The changes made by this

rule are intended to revise the NRL to

conform more closely with the items

contained in the Annex to the ‘‘NuclearRelated Dual-Use Equipment, Materials,

and Related Technology List’’ (the

Annex), as published by the

International Atomic Energy Agency in

INFCIRC/254/Part 2. The adherents to

INFCIRC/254/Part 2, which include the

Nuclear Suppliers Guidelines, have

agreed to establish export licensing

procedures for the transfer of items

identified in the Annex.

In addition, this rule removes Poland

from General License GNSG national

security item country restrictions. There

are some ECCNs that have both National

Security (NS) and Nuclear Proliferation

(NP) reasons for control. For these

ECCNs, GNSG eligibility stated ‘‘Yes,

except Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, or

Russia’’, i.e., all NP items in that ECCN

were eligible for General License GNSG

to all GNSG eligible countries, except

Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, or Russia.

Although Poland is a NSG member, the

more restrictive control, in this case NS,

was applied. In May 1994, Poland was

moved from Country Group W to

Country Group V to conform with

changes in licensing policies for

proscribed countries. Therefore, NS

reasons for control no longer apply to

Poland and GNSG privileges now

extend to all ECCNs that have both NS

and NP controls for Poland.

Lastly, this rule will add Argentina,

New Zealand, South Africa, and South

Korea to the countries that are eligible

to receive exports under General

License GNSG, because they were

admitted to the Nuclear Suppliers

Group. General License GNSG permits

certain items subject to nuclear

nonproliferation controls to be exported

under general license to a number of

countries whose governments have

subscribed to the Annex to the

‘‘Guidelines for Transfers of NuclearRelated Dual-Use Equipment, Material,
3556 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 22 / Thursday, February 1, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

and Related Technology’’ (the Annex)

published by the International Atomic

Energy Agency and adhered to by the

United States and other subscribing

governments. The subscribing

governments have agreed to establish

export licensing procedures for the

transfer of items identified on the

Annex.

Saving Clause

Shipments of items removed from

general license authorizations as a result

of this regulatory action that were on

dock for loading, on lighter, laden

aboard an exporting carrier, or en route

aboard carrier to a port of export

pursuant to actual orders for export

before February 15, 1996 may be

exported under the previous general

license provisions up to and including

February 29, 1996. Any such items not

actually exported before midnight,

February 29, 1996, require a validated

export license in accordance with this

regulation.

Summary of ECCNs Added and Revised

by This Rule

The following listing is intended to

serve as a guide to the revisions to the

Commerce Control List contained in this

rule. It is not a complete summary of all

the CCL changes made by this rule.

Specific questions concerning these

changes should be answered by

referring to the actual entries in the

CCL.

Although the Export Administration

Act (EAA) expired on August 20, 1994,

the President invoked the International

Emergency Economic Powers Act and

continued in effect, to the extent

permitted by law, the provisions of the

EAA and the EAR in Executive Order

12924 of August 19, 1994, and extended

by a notice published in the Federal

Register on August 15, 1995.

Rulemaking Requirements

1. This interim rule has been

determined to be significant for the

purposes of Executive Order 12866.

2. Notwithstanding any other

provision of law, no person is required

to respond to nor shall a person be

subject to a penalty for failure to comply

with a collection of information subject

to the requirements of the Paperwork

Reduction Act unless that collection of

information displays a currently valid

OMB Control Number. This rule

involves collections of information

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act

of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These

collections have been approved by the

Office of Management and Budget under

control numbers 0694–0005, and 0694–

0010.

3. This rule does not contain policies

with Federalism implications sufficient

to warrant preparation of a Federalism

assessment under Executive Order

12612.

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 or foreign

affairs function of the United States. No

other law requires that a notice of

proposed rulemaking and an

opportunity for public comment be

given for this rule.

5. Because a notice of proposed

rulemaking and an opportunity for

public comment are not required to be

given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. 553 or

by any other law, under sections 3(a)

and 4(a) of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. 603(a) and 604(a)) no

initial or final Regulatory Flexibility

Analysis has to be or will be prepared.

However, because of the importance

of the issues raised by these regulations,

this rule is issued in interim form and

comments will be considered in the

development of final regulations.

Accordingly, the Department

encourages interested persons who wish

to comment to do so.

The period for submission of

comments will close March 4, 1996. The

Department will consider all comments

received on or before the close of the

comment period in developing final

regulations. Comments received after

the end of the comment period will be

considered if possible, but their
3558 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 22 / Thursday, February 1, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

consideration cannot be assured. The

Department will not accept public

comments accompanied by a request

that a part or all of the material be

treated confidentially because of its

business proprietary nature or for any

other reason. The Department will

return such comments and materials to

the person submitting the comments

and will not consider them in the

development of final regulations. All

public comments on these regulations

will be a matter of public record and

will be available for public inspection

and copying. In the interest of accuracy

and completeness, the Department

requests comments in written form.

Oral comments should be followed by

written memoranda, which will also be

a matter of public record and will be

available for public review and copying.

Communications from agencies of the

United States Government or foreign

governments will not be made available

for public inspection.

The public record concerning these

regulations will be maintained in the

Bureau of Export Administration

Freedom of Information Records

Inspection Facility, Room 4525,

Department of Commerce, 14th Street

and Pennsylvania Avenue NW.,

Washington, DC 20230. Records in this

facility, including written public

comments and memoranda

summarizing the substance of oral

communications, may be inspected and

copied in accordance with regulations

published in Part 4 of Title 15 of the

Code of Federal Regulations.

Information about the inspection and

copying of records at the facility may be

obtained from Theodore Zois, Bureau of

Export Administration Freedom of

Information Officer, at the above

address or by calling (202) 482–1525.

Reporting Requirements for Vessels,

AGENCY: Customs Service, Treasury.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

SUMMARY: This document contains

corrections to the final regulations (T.D.

93–96), which were published on

Tuesday, December 21, 1993 (58 FR

67312). The regulations related to the

reporting requirements for vessels,

vehicles, and individuals.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 1, 1996.

Larry L. Burton, Attorney, Entry and

Carrier Rulings Branch (202) 482–6933.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On Tuesday, December 21, 1993,

Customs published a document in the

Federal Register (T.D. 93–96, 58 FR

67312), that amended the Customs

Regulations to implement certain

provisions of the Customs Enforcement

Act of 1986, a part of the Anti-Drug

Abuse Act of 1986, designed to

strengthen Federal efforts to improve

the enforcement of Federal drug laws

and enhance the interdiction of illegal

drug shipments. The regulatory changes

pertained to the arrival, entry, and

departure reporting requirements

applicable to vessels, vehicles, and

individuals, and informed the public

regarding applicable penalty, seizure

and forfeiture provisions for violation of

the provisions.

As set forth in the Federal Register,

the document contained an error in an

amendatory instruction resulting in the

inadvertent removal of two paragraphs

from § 4.30(a). At the time the document

was published, § 4.30(a) consisted of

three paragraphs: introductory

paragraph (a), paragraph (a)(1), and

paragraph (a)(2). The amendatory

instruction which was in error stated

that paragraph (a) was being revised,

rather than stating that introductory

paragraph (a) was being revised.

Because only the text of introductory

paragraph (a) followed that instruction,

paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) were deleted

from future editions of the Customs

Regulations (19 CFR). The intent of

Customs was to revise the language of

introductory paragraph (a), but to retain

paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2). This

document corrects that error by

reinserting those two paragraphs.

List of Subjects in 19 CFR Part 4

Cargo vessels, Coastal zone, Customs

duties and inspection, Fishing vessels,

Harbors, Imports, Maritime carriers,

Passenger vessels, Reporting and

recordkeeping requirements, Seamen,

Vessels, Yachts.

Amendments to the Regulations

Accordingly, Title 19, Chapter I, part

4 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR

part 4) is corrected by making the

following amendments:
