Revisions to the Commerce Control List: Imposition of Controls on 
Integrated Circuits, Helicopter Landing System Radars, Seismic 
Detection Systems, and Technology for IR Up-Conversion Devices

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Interim final rule with request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends 
the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to impose foreign policy 
controls on read-out integrated circuits and related ``software'' and 
``technology,'' radar for helicopter autonomous landing systems, 
seismic intrusion detection

[[Page 61572]]

systems and related ``software'' and ``technology'', and ``technology'' 
``required'' for the ``development'' or ``production'' of specified 
infrared up-conversion devices. The read-out integrated circuits and 
related ``technology'' are controlled under new Export Control 
Classification Numbers (ECCNs) on the Commerce Control List. An 
existing ECCN has been amended to control the related ``software'' for 
those items. New paragraphs have been added to certain existing ECCNs 
to control radar for helicopter autonomous landing systems, seismic 
intrusion detection systems, and the ``technology,'' as mentioned, for 
specified infrared up-conversion devices. Specified existing 
``software'' and ``technology'' ECCNs have been amended to apply to 
helicopter autonomous landing systems and seismic intrusion detection 
systems. The items are controlled for regional stability reasons Column 
1 (RS Column 1) and Column 2 (RS Column 2), and antiterrorism reasons 
Column 1 (AT Column 1). The Departments of Commerce, State and Defense 
have determined that imposition of these license requirements protects 
U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. Specifically, 
those agencies have determined that the items described in this rule 
have civilian applications but also warrant immediate controls under 
the EAR because of their potential military applications.

DATES: This rule is effective October 14, 2014. Comments must be 
received by December 15, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this rule, BIS amends the EAR to impose 
license requirements on read-out integrated circuits, and 
``technology'' ``required'' for the ``development'' or ``production'' 
of specified infrared up-conversion devices to all destinations, except 
Canada, as well as radar for helicopter autonomous landing systems and 
seismic intrusion detection systems to destinations as identified. The 
Departments of Commerce, State and Defense have determined that 
imposition of these license requirements protects national security and 
foreign policy interests of the United States because of the items' 
potential military applications, which are described in greater detail 
below.
    The items are controlled under new or amended Export Control 
Classification Numbers (ECCNs) on the Commerce Control List for RS 
Column 1, RS Column 2, and AT Column 1 reasons. Destinations to which 
RS Column 1 or RS Column 2 controls apply are indicated by an ``X'' in 
the RS Column 1 or RS Column 2, respectively, for each applicable 
destination in the Commerce Country Chart, Supplement No. 1 to part 738 
of the EAR. An explanation of RS license requirements appears in 
Section 742.6(a) of the EAR. Exporters also should consult the Commerce 
Country Chart to determine to which destinations the AT Column 1 
license requirement applies.

New License Requirements

New ECCN 6A990--Read-Out Integrated Circuits

    Under this rule, a license is required for the export and reexport 
of items classified under new ECCN 6A990 for read-out integrated 
circuits (ROICs) to all destinations, except Canada, for RS Column 1 
reasons, and AT Column 1 reasons. The ROICs subject to 6A990 are used 
only in cameras to provide images for collision avoidance and 
navigation support for civilian vehicles at distances up to 150 m, and 
have potential military application because of the infrared detectors, 
which can be used to enable military personnel to detect images in the 
dark, enhancing nighttime warfighting capability. Given that potential 
military application, BIS is implementing a worldwide licensing 
requirement, except for Canada, and the items will be controlled for RS 
Column 1 and AT Column 1 reasons with License Exception LVS not 
available.
    The heading of existing ECCN 6D991 is revised to indicate that 
``software'' for ROICs under new 6A990 is covered by 6D991. The 
previous heading read ``6D991 ``Software'' specially designed for the 
``development'', ``production'', or ``use'' of equipment controlled by 
6A002.a.1.d, 6A991, 6A996, 6A997, or 6A998.'' BIS revised the heading 
to include commodities controlled by ECCN 6A990. ECCN 6D991, 
``software'' for commodities controlled by ECCN 6A990, is controlled 
for RS Column 1 reasons.
    Also, ``technology'' for ROICs is controlled under new ECCN 6E990--
``Technology'' ``required'' for the ``development'' or ``production'' 
of commodities controlled by ECCN 6A990. ECCN 6E990 ``Technology'' for 
ROICs is controlled for RS Column 1 and AT Column 1 reasons.

New Paragraph in ECCN 6A998--Radar for Helicopter Autonomous Landing 
Systems

    In this rule, BIS also adds paragraph .c to ECCN 6A998. ECCN 6A998, 
which controls radar systems, equipment and ``major components,'' and 
``specially designed'' ``components,'' is expanded through new 
paragraph .c to impose a license requirement for export and reexport of 
millimeter wave enhanced vision radar imaging systems ``specially 
designed'' for rotary wing aircraft and having all of the 
characteristics identified in subparagraphs .c.1, .c.2, .c.3, and .c.4. 
Radar for helicopter autonomous landing systems provides visual 
awareness and obstacle avoidance in degraded visual conditions. While 
important in its civilian applications, this radar poses concern with 
regard to its potential military applications by adversaries of the 
United States and its allies, and BIS is implementing licensing 
requirements through this new RS Column 2 control on ECCN 6A998 and an 
AT Column 1 control.
    A license is required for items classified in paragraph .c of ECCN 
6A998 for RS Column 2 reasons when going to any destination, except 
Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and countries in the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization, as indicated in the Commerce Country Chart in 
Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR and in Section 742.6(a)(4) of 
the EAR. The existing AT Column 1 reason for control for ECCN 6A998 
continues to apply to the entire entry, including new paragraph .c 
items.
    The existing related ``software'' and ``technology'' for ECCN 
6A998--controlled under ECCNs 6D991 and 6E991, respectively--also are 
related to items in subparagraphs .c.1 through .c.4, as specified in 
the respective entries.

New Paragraph in ECCN 6A999--Seismic Intrusion Detection Systems

    By adding paragraph .c to ECCN 6A999, which controls specific 
processing equipment, BIS expands that ECCN by imposing a license 
requirement for export and reexport of seismic intrusion detection 
systems,

[[Page 61573]]

which detect, classify and determine the bearing on the source of a 
detected signal. While the systems can be used for monitoring 
earthquakes, they also have the capability for military use in 
detecting the movement or motion of people, vehicles, and equipment. 
Given the potential military uses, BIS is imposing a license 
requirement to all destinations but close military allies through the 
RS Column 2 controls.
    In addition, AT continues to apply to all items in the entry, 
including those items in new paragraph .c, to North Korea. In addition, 
BIS revises existing paragraph .a of ECCN 6A999 to distinguish the 
items controlled by paragraph .a from those controlled by new paragraph 
.c.
    Further, to ensure appropriate controls for operation ``software'' 
for seismic intrusion detection devices controlled under ECCN 6A999.c, 
BIS revises ECCN 6D993 to add two new paragraphs. New paragraph .b 
controls ``software'' ``specially designed'' for seismic intrusion 
detection systems in 6A999.c, and new paragraph .c controls ``source 
code'' for seismic intrusion detection systems in 6A999.c. ``Software'' 
under new paragraph .b is controlled for RS Column 2 reasons and 
``source code'' under new paragraph .c. is controlled for RS Column 1 
reasons. Both paragraphs, like all of ECCN 6D993, are also controlled 
for AT Column 1 reasons.
    Lastly, BIS revises ECCN 6E991, ``technology' for the 
``development,'' ``production'' or ``use'' of equipment controlled by 
6A991, 6A996, 6A997 or 6A998,'' by adding new paragraph .c to include 
equipment controlled by ECCN 6A999.c.

Revision of Scope of ECCN 6E001--``Technology'' According to the 
General Technology Note for the ``Development'' of Equipment, Materials 
or ``Software'' Controlled by Certain Category 6 ECCNs

    BIS revised the heading of ECCN 6E001 to indicate that 
``development'' ``technology'' for new ECCN 6A990 (read-out integrated 
circuits) and ``development'' ``technology'' for new paragraph .c. 
(seismic intrusion detection systems) of ECCN 6A999 are not controlled 
by ECCN 6E001. ECCN 6A990 ``technology'' (for ``development'' or 
``production'') and ECCN 6A999.c ``technology'' (for ``development,'' 
``production'' or ``use'') are controlled under ECCN 6E990 and ECCN 
6E991, respectively.

Revision of Scope of ECCN 6E002--``Technology'' According to the 
General Technology Note for the ``Production'' of Equipment or 
Materials Controlled by Certain Category 6 ECCNs

    As with the heading of ECCN 6E001, BIS also revises the heading of 
ECCN 6E002 to indicate that ``production'' ``technology'' for new ECCN 
6A990 (read-out integrated circuits) and ``production'' ``technology'' 
for new paragraph .c. (seismic intrusion detection systems) of ECCN 
6A999 are not controlled by ECCN 6E002. As previously described for 
ECCN 6E001, ECCN 6A990 ``technology'' (for ``development'' or 
``production'') and ECCN 6A999.c ``technology'' (for ``development,'' 
``production'' or ``use'') are controlled under ECCN 6E990 and ECCN 
6E991, respectively.

New Paragraph In ECCN 6E993--``Technology'' for Specified Infrared Up-
Conversion Devices

    This rule adds paragraph .e in ECCN 6E993 to control ``technology'' 
``required'' for the ``development'' or ``production'' of infrared up-
conversion devices used to convert near-infrared light into visible 
light using an organic light emitting diode, which can be used in 
conventional night vision devices used for home energy inspection or 
night photography. The item also has important military and law 
enforcement applications, which is why BIS is imposing a worldwide 
licensing requirement, except for Canada. New ECCN 6E993.e requires a 
license to all destinations, except Canada, for RS Column 1 reasons. 
The existing AT Column 1 reason for control that applies to paragraphs 
.a through .d also applies to new paragraph .e and to its subparagraphs 
.e.1 and .e.2.

License Exceptions

    License exceptions are described in Part 740 of the EAR. License 
exceptions may be available for these items if there are no applicable 
restrictions in section 740.2(a) and all conditions of the respective 
license exceptions are met for the particular proposed transaction.

Foreign Policy Report

    The application of regional stability 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 September 24, 2014.

Export Administration Act

    Since August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act has been in 
lapse and the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 
2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp., 783 (2002)), as amended by Executive Order 
13637 of March 8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013), and extended most 
recently by the Notice of August 7, 2014, 79 FR 46959 (August 11, 
2014), has continued the EAR 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.

Saving Clause

    Shipments of items removed from eligibility for export or reexport 
under a license exception or without a license (i.e., under the 
designator ``NLR'') as a result of this regulatory action 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 November 13, 2014, 
pursuant to actual orders for export or reexport to a foreign 
destination, may proceed to that destination under the previously 
applicable license exception or without a license (NLR) so long as they 
are exported or reexported before November 28, 2014. Any such items not 
actually exported or reexported before midnight, on November 28, 2014, 
require a license in accordance with this regulation.
    ``Deemed'' exports of ``technology'' and ``source code'' removed 
from eligibility for export under a license exception or without a 
license (under the designator ``NLR'') as a result of this regulatory 
action may continue to be made under the previously available license 
exception or without a license (NLR) before January 12, 2015. Beginning 
at midnight on January 12, 2015, such ``technology'' and ``source 
code'' may no longer be released, without a license, to a foreign 
national subject to the ``deemed'' export controls in the EAR when a 
license would be required to the home country of the foreign national 
in accordance with this regulation.

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

[[Page 61574]]

effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 
emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, 
reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. This rule 
has been determined to be a significant regulatory action, although not 
economically significant, under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866. 
Accordingly, the rule has been reviewed by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB).
    2. This rule involves collections previously approved by the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) under Control Number 0694-0088, ``Multi-
Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour estimate of 43.8 
minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748. Total burden hours 
associated with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.) (PRA) and OMB Control Number 0694-0088 are not expected to 
increase significantly as a result of this rule. Notwithstanding any 
other provisions 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 PRA, unless that 
collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control 
Number.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined under 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 is implementing this rule 
to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests by 
imposing an export and reexport license requirement on Read-Out 
Integrated Circuits, Radar for Helicopter Landing Systems, Seismic 
Intrusion Detection Systems, and Technology for Specified Infrared Up-
Conversion Devices that are used in important sensor applications. The 
Departments of Commerce, State and Defense determined that immediate 
imposition of license requirements for these items is warranted to 
protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. 
Specifically, those agencies have determined that the items described 
in this rule warrant controls because of their potential military 
applications, which are noted above.
    Further, BIS finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in 
effectiveness under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). Immediate implementation will 
allow BIS to prevent exports of these items to users and for uses that 
pose a national security threat to the United States or its allies. If 
BIS delayed this rule to allow for a 30-day delay in effectiveness, the 
resulting delay in implementation would afford an opportunity for the 
export of these items to users and uses that pose such a national 
security threat, thereby undermining the purpose of the 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. Although 
notice and opportunity for comment are not required, BIS is issuing 
this rule as an interim final rule with a request for comments. All 
comments must be in writing and submitted via one or more of the 
methods listed under the ADDRESSES caption to this notice. All comments 
(including any personal identifiable information) will be available for 
public inspection and copying. Those wishing to comment anonymously may 
do so by submitting their comment via regulations.gov and leaving the 
fields for identifying information blank.
