Wassenaar Arrangement 2014 Plenary Agreements Implementation and 
Country Policy Amendments

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains, as part 
of its Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Commerce Control 
List (CCL), which identifies certain of the items subject to Department 
of Commerce jurisdiction. This final rule revises the CCL to implement 
changes made to the Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual-Use Goods and 
Technologies (Wassenaar List) maintained and agreed to by governments 
participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for 
Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar 
Arrangement, or WA) at the December 2014 WA Plenary Meeting (the 
Plenary). The twentieth Plenary meeting of the Wassenaar Arrangement 
was held in Vienna on 2 to 3 December 2014. The Wassenaar Arrangement 
advocates implementation of effective export controls on strategic 
items with the objective of improving regional and international 
security and stability.
    Wassenaar Participating States agreed to new export controls in a 
number of areas, including spacecraft equipment (Category 9) and 
technology for fly-by-wire/flight-by-light systems (Category 7), while 
texts for the control of machine tools (Category 2) and optical 
equipment for military utility and fiber laser components (Category 6) 
were substantially revised. In addition, significant reviews of several 
categories resulted in the deletion of obsolete controls relating to 
vessels (Category 8) and in refined controls on Unmanned Aerial 
Vehicles--UAVs (Category 9), specifically taking note of the 
substantial progress of technology in that area. Wassenaar 
Participating States modified controls in a number of other areas, such 
as equipment for production of electronic devices (Category 3), certain 
telecommunications equipment where encryption and other ``information 
security'' functionality is limited to operations, administration, or 
maintenance (OAM) tasks (Category 5P2), and general purpose computers 
or servers where standard ``information security'' functionality is 
provided by embedded mass market microprocessors (CPUs) or operating 
systems (also Category 5P2).
    This rule amends the CCL by implementing the changes agreed to by 
the WA at the Plenary by revising 42 Export Control Classification 
Numbers (ECCNs), adding one ECCN and removing one ECCN, as well as 
amending the General Technology Note, WA reporting requirements, adding 
seven (7) definitions and revising six (6) definitions in the EAR.
    This rule also revises 3 ECCNs to add License Exception CIV 
eligibility for Anisotropic plasma dry etching equipment and related 
software and technology for the development and production of this 
equipment, as a result of BIS' foreign availability assessment.
    Country Group A column 1, the Coordinating Committee (CoCom) member 
countries, is replaced with the successor national security export 
regime the Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States. In addition, the 
second national security column and the second regional stability 
column of the Commerce Country Chart are amended to harmonize with each 
other, as well as make changes based on the risk of diversion to 
unauthorized end user, end uses or destinations.

DATES: This rule is effective: May 21, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) on Export Controls for Conventional 
Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies is a group of 41 like-minded 
states committed to promoting responsibility and transparency in the 
global arms trade, and preventing destabilizing accumulations of arms. 
As a Participating State, the United States has committed to 
controlling for export all items on the WA control lists. The lists 
were first established in 1996 and have been revised annually 
thereafter. Proposals for changes to the WA control lists that achieve 
consensus are approved by Participating States at annual December 
Plenary meetings. Participating States are charged with implementing 
the agreed list changes as soon as possible after approval. 
Implementation of WA list changes ensures U.S. companies have a level 
playing field with their competitors in other WA Participating States.
    Unless otherwise indicated, the changes to the EAR described below 
are made in order to implement changes to the WA control lists approved 
at the December 2014 Plenary meeting.

    Removes (1): 4D002.
    Revises because of the Foreign Availability Assessment (3): 3B001, 
3D001, and 3E001.

Category 0--Nuclear Materials, Facilities, and Equipment [And 
Miscellaneous Items]

0A606 Ground Vehicles and Related Commodities

    ECCN 0A606 is amended by revising paragraph .b in Note 2 to 
paragraph .a in order to remove a comma after the word ``parts'' to 
correct the punctuation.

Category 1--Special Materials and Related Equipment, Chemicals, 
``Microorganisms,'' and ``Toxins''

1A613 Armored and Protective ``Equipment'' and Related Commodities

    ECCN 1A613 is amended by adding ``metallic or non-metallic'' to the 
beginning of Items paragraph .a to clarify that 1A613 includes plates 
made from metal or non-metal materials, such as ceramics, glass, 
composites, or any

[[Page 29433]]

combination of metal or non-metal materials.

1C002 Metal Alloys, Metal Alloy Powder and Alloyed Materials

    ECCN 1C002 is amended by revising Item paragraphs c.2.f and c.2.g, 
and adding Item paragraph c.2.h. Paragraph c.2.f is revised by removing 
the word ``or'' from the end of this paragraph. Paragraph c.2.g is 
revised by replacing the ``and'' with an ``or'' at the end of this 
paragraph. This rule adds new paragraph c.2.h to control metal alloy 
powder or particulate material specified in 1C002.c.1 made in a 
controlled environment by ``plasma atomization,'' because this process 
is capable of producing fine spherical powders having the composition 
specified in 1C002.c.1 and can produce powder sizes finer than those 
processes already listed 1C002.c.2. Also, the definition for ``plasma 
atomization'' is added to Sec.  772.1 of the EAR.

1C007 Ceramic Powders, Non- ``Composite'' Ceramic Materials, Ceramic-
``Matrix'' ``Composite'' Materials and Precursor Materials

    ECCN 1C007 is amended by revising the Heading and Item paragraph a. 
The Heading is revised by replacing ``ceramic base materials'' with 
``ceramic powders,'' because this term is not commonly used in 
literature for ceramics, not commonly recognised by ceramics 
manufacturers, and is prone to misinterpretation. For the same reason, 
Items paragraph .a is amended by replacing ``base materials'' with 
``ceramic powders.''

1C008 Non-Fluorinated Polymeric Substances as Follows (see List of 
Items Controlled)

    ECCN 1C008 is amended by removing and reserving Items paragraph .b 
(Thermoplastic liquid crystal copolymers), because thermoplastics have 
not been able to compete in structural applications with thermosetting 
material controlled in 1C008.a.2.

1C010 ``Fibrous or Filamentary Materials''

    ECCN 1C010 is amended by moving the Technical Notes from below 
paragraph .c and adding them to the beginning of the Items paragraph of 
the List of Items Controlled section, because it applies to the whole 
ECCN. This rule also revises Items paragraph d.1.b by replacing the 
reference to ``1C008.b to 1C008.f'' with ``1C008.d to 1C008.f'' in 
order to harmonize with the revision this rule made to 1C008.

1E002 Other ``Technology''

    ECCN 1E002 is amended by revising the List Based License Exceptions 
and Items paragraphs .c, .c.1., .c.1.c.1., .c.1.c.2. and .g; removing 
Items paragraphs .c.1.c.3 through .c.1.c.3.c.; removing and reserving 
Items paragraph .d; and removing the Technology Note to paragraph .g.
    1E002.f is removed from License Exception TSR eligibility because 
the General Technology Note, Supplement No. 2 to part 774, which 
indicates that License Exception TSU is not available for repair 
``technology'' controlled by 1E002.e or .f. A License Requirement Note 
is added to explain this in the ECCN.
    Items paragraphs .c, .c.1, .c.1.c.1, and .c.1.c.2 are amended by 
replacing the term ``base materials'' with ``ceramic powders,'' because 
this term is not commonly used in literature for ceramics, not commonly 
recognised by ceramics manufacturers and is prone to misinterpretation.
    This rule removes Items paragraphs .c.1.c.3 through .c.1.c.3.c 
(technology for the design or production of ceramic powders or non-
composite ceramic materials having platelets, whiskers, and continuous 
or chopped fibers), because the advancement of technology in this area 
has made the use of these materials outdated and it is very unlikely 
that these materials would ever be used in the same ceramic composition 
formulation.
    Items paragraph .d (aromatic polyamide ``production'' 
``technology'') is removed and reserved because this technology is 
adequately covered by ECCN 1E001.
    Items paragraph .g is amended by adding double quotes around the 
term ``libraries'', removing the parenthetical phrase ``(parametric 
technical databases)'' and removing the Technology Note to paragraph .g 
that provided a definition for the term ``library,'' because the term 
``libraries'' is changed from a locally defined term to a globally 
defined term. See Sec.  774.1(d) regarding the quote system used in the 
CCL. This rule adds the term ``libraries'' to Sec.  772.1 of the EAR to 
harmonize with the WA agreement to make it a global definition because 
it is used in both the WA Military List (ML17) and in 1E002.

Category 2--Materials Processing

Technical Notes for 2B001 to 2B009, 2B201, 2B290 and 2B991 to 2B999

    Changes are made in the Technical Notes under 2B, to provide 
guidance for the measurement of ``unidirectional positioning 
repeatability'' (UPR).

2B001 Machine Tools and any Combination Thereof, for Removing (or 
Cutting) Metals, Ceramics or ``Composites'', Which, According to the 
Manufacturer's Technical Specifications, Can Be Equipped With 
Electronic Devices for ``Numerical Control''

    ECCN 2B001 is amended by revising Items paragraphs a.1, b.1.a, 
b.2.a through b.3, c.1.a, c.2 through c.2.c, Notes 2B001.c paragraph 
b., and e.2.b. Items paragraphs a.1, b.1.a, b.2.a through b.3, c.1.a, 
c.2 through c.2.c, Notes 2B001.c paragraph b amendments change the 
control parameter for turning, milling, jig boring and grinding machine 
tools from positioning accuracy (A) to ``unidirectional positioning 
repeatability'' (UPR). This includes adding a definition for 
``unidirectional positioning repeatability'' in Sec.  772.1 of the EAR. 
Machine tools for milling and turning having five or more axes are 
grouped in 3 divisions depending on the travel length of axis (length < 
1m, 1m <= length < 4m and length >= 4m) to which specific control 
thresholds are associated (1.1 [mu]m, 1.4 [mu]m and 6 [mu]m). Other 
machines (Turning, milling, grinding and jig boring) would be 
controlled based upon a specific UPR value and, as appropriate, their 
number of linear/rotary axes. The main reason for the change is that 
UPR represents the best possible accuracy for machine tools. 
Additionally, there is no systematic error in the measurement of UPR 
therefore there is no need for compensation. In particular, this may 
solve a loophole that currently exists with the measurement of 
positioning accuracy which is dependent on compensation. In the course 
of discussions at WA, delegations also addressed the question of used 
machines for which UPR values may not be specified or available. 
Generally there is a factor of 1 to 3 (According to ISO) between A and 
UPR. This ratio could be another tool that can assist in classifying 
used machine tools.
    Items paragraph e.2.b is amended to add double quotes around the 
term ``accuracy'' to indicate that the term is defined in Sec.  772.1 
of the EAR. See Sec.  774.1(d) regarding the quote system used in the 
CCL.

Category 3--Electronics

3A001 Electronic Components and ``Specially Designed'' ``Components'' 
Therefor

    ECCN 3A001 is amended by revising Items paragraphs a.5.b.1 and 
a.5.b.2, a.7, a.7.a and a.7.b, the Technical Notes following a.7.b, 
b.7, b.10, and b.11.f and

[[Page 29434]]

b.11.g. Items paragraph a.5.b., which describes Digital-to-Analog 
Converters (DAC) having resolution of 10 bit or more, is amended by 
replacing the ``or greater'' with ``greater than'' for the `adjusted 
updated rate.' Items paragraph a.5.b.2, which describes DACs having 
resolution of 12 bit or more, is amended by removing the text ``equal 
to or.'' Items paragraphs a.7.a and a.7.b, which specify parameters for 
Field Programmable Logic Devices (FPLDs), are amended by raising the 
maximum number of single-ended digital input/outputs from ``500 or 
greater'' to ``greater than 700'' and `aggregate one-way peak serial 
transceiver data rate' from ``of 200 Gb/s or greater'' to ``500 Gb/s or 
greater.'' These revisions are made to reflect the advances made in 
recent years to Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and to reduce 
controls on used devices. Technical Note 1 that follows Items paragraph 
a.7.b is removed because the Note above it already specifies FPGAs and 
Field Programmable Logic Arrays (FPLAs) in the list of devices included 
in 3A007.a.7.
    Items paragraph b.7, converters and harmonic mixers, is amended to 
add detailed parameters, (e.g., output power, frequency range, 
operating range), for converters and harmonic mixers that can extend 
the frequency range of equipment in 3A002.c through .f (signal 
analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, and microwave test 
receivers).
    Items paragraph b.10, oscillators or oscillator assemblies, is 
amended to clarify that 3A001.b.10 applies not only between 10 Hz and 
10 kHz, but also at those frequencies, which ensures that oscillators 
are properly controlled. The revisions to 3A001.b.10 seek to adjust the 
formula defining the control thresholds so that they closely 
approximate the actual shape of the phase noise curve in real 
oscillators/instruments. This will increase the effectiveness of the 
controls.
    3A001.b.11.f and b.11.g are revised by raising the upper frequency 
limit of 75 GHz to 90 GHz to align the specified maximum frequency to a 
standard waveguide frequency breakpoint that is relevant to current 
commercial applications.

3A002 General Purpose Electronic Equipment

    ECCN 3A002 is amended by revising Items paragraphs a.5.a through 
a.5.c; adding paragraph 3. to the Technical Notes following Items 
paragraph a.5.c; revising Items paragraphs .c through c.3, c.4.a, .d 
through d.1.a, d.2, d.3.b through d.4.b, d.5, Note 1 after d.5, 
Technical Note 1 after d.5, and e.1 through e.2.
    3A002.a.5.c and Technical Note paragraph 3 are added to the 
recording equipment and oscilloscopes control to clarify the scope of 
controls and, in particular, to address an issue of overlap between 
waveform digitizers and transient recorders specified by 3A002.a.5 and 
digital instrumentation data recorder systems specified by 3A002.a.6.
    3A002.c (Signal analyzers) is amended by removing the term `radio 
frequency,' which is no longer consistent with the scope of controls 
specified by this entry. The term `radio frequency' indicates 
frequencies up to 6 GHz, but the subparagraphs 3A002.c.1 through c.3, 
in which frequencies are specified, all refer to frequencies of 31.8 
GHz and higher.
    In 3A002.c.1, although the frequency breakpoint for this band has 
been 37.5 GHz, it is now recognized that the breakpoint is 37 GHz, as 
per ETSI EN 300 197.
    In 3A002.c.2, c.3, d.2 (Signal analyzers and generators), e.1 and 
e.2 (network analyzers) the high-frequency maximum limit is raised to 
90 GHz. This figure corresponds to the maximum frequency of E-band 
waveguide (60-90 GHz), which is relevant to current commercial 
applications.
    3A002.c.4.a is revised by increasing the control threshold (real-
time bandwidth) from 85 to 170 MHz. Civilian data communication 
networks have increased in bandwidth to facilitate and promote these 
legitimate commercial uses. The updated threshold for real-time 
bandwidth addresses the 802.11ac WiFi standard.
    3A002.d (signal generators) is revised to align the controls with 
current commercial technology requirements, specifically driven by 
commercial RF (Radio Frequency)/MW (Microwave) communication systems, 
while maintaining control on equipment of national security interests. 
The bandwidth (frequency change) is increased uniformly to 2.2 GHz and 
the frequency switching time is decreased uniformly to 100 [mu]s 
(except in the range 31.8-37 GHz, for which the bandwidth and frequency 
switching time thresholds remain, unchanged). These changes are 
motivated by developments in modern commercial communication 
applications that are utilizing the modulation formats of the IEEE 
802.11ad standard.

3A991 Electronic Devices, and ``Components'' not Controlled by 3A001

    ECCN 3A991 is amended by revising the introductory text to Items 
paragraph .d (field programmable logic devices) by raising the maximum 
limit of input/outputs from 500 to 700 in order to accommodate 
technological advances in this area and to correspond to the change 
made to 3A001.a.7, i.e., greater than 700. In addition, the text of 
this paragraph is simplified by replacing the phrase ``input/outputs of 
200 or greater and less than 700'' to ``input/outputs between 200 and 
700,'' which means the range includes 200 and 700.

3B001 Equipment for the Manufacturing of Semiconductor Devices or 
Materials and ``Specially Designed'' ``Components'' and ``Accessories'' 
Therefor

    ECCN 3B001 is amended by revising the License Exception CIV 
eligibility paragraph and revising Items paragraphs f.1.a through f.2. 
The License Exception CIV eligibility paragraph is revised by adding 
3B001.c (anisotropic plasma dry etching equipment) in light of a 
foreign availability assessment completed by BIS that concluded that 
equivalent items are available in China and therefore, no longer 
warrant CIV eligibility. Two lithography equipment parameters in 
3B001.f are revised to recognize the movement of the state of the art 
of lithography equipment and feature size of advanced integrated 
circuits of significance to the military. A modernization of ``Minimum 
Resolvable Feature size'' (MRF) from 95 nm to 45 nm in Items paragraph 
f.1.b also required a change to the source wavelength in Items 
paragraph f.1.a used in direct step wafer lithography equipment. 
Therefore, Items paragraph f.1.a is revised by lowering the light 
source wavelength from ``shorter than 245 nm'' to ``shorter than 193 
nm.'' In addition, the feature control parameter for imprint 
lithography in Items paragraph f.2 is revised from 95 nm to 45 nm to be 
consistent with the changes to direct step wafer equipment in Items 
paragraph f.1.

3D001 and 3E001

    The License Exception CIV eligibility paragraphs are revised by 
adding software and technology for 3B001.c (anisotropic plasma dry 
etching equipment), because of the foreign availability assessment 
completed by BIS that concluded that equivalent items are available in 
China and therefore, no longer warrant control.

[[Page 29435]]

Category 4--Computers

4D001 ``Software''

    ECCN 4D001 is amended by revising the License Exception TSR 
eligibility paragraph in the List Based License Exceptions section; 
revising the License Exception STA ineligibility paragraph in the 
Special Conditions for STA section; and revising Items paragraph b.1 in 
the List of Items Controlled section. Because the Adjusted Peak 
Performance in Items paragraph .b is raised from 0.60 Weighted 
TeraFLOPS (WT) to 1.0 WT, the License Exception TSR eligibility 
paragraph and the License Exception STA ineligibility paragraphs are 
adjusted from 1.0 WT to 2.0 WT to account for technological 
advancements in software for the development and production of 
computers.

4D002 ``Software'' ``Specially Designed'' or Modified To Support 
``Technology'' Controlled by 4E (Except 4E980, 4E992, and 4E993)

    4D002 is removed from the Commerce Control List, because is it no 
longer in use and not of national security concern.

4E001 ``Technology''

    ECCN 4E001 is amended by revising the License Exception TSR 
eligibility paragraph in the List Based License Exceptions section; 
revising the License Exception STA ineligibility paragraph in the 
Special Conditions for STA section; and revising Items paragraph b.1 in 
the List of Items Controlled section. Because the Adjusted Peak 
Performance in Items paragraph .b is raised from 0.60 Weighted 
TeraFLOPS (WT) to 1.0 WT, the License Exception TSR eligibility 
paragraph and the License Exception STA ineligibility paragraphs are 
adjusted from 1.0 WT to 2.0 WT to account for technological 
advancements in software for the development and production of 
computers.

Technical Note on ``Adjusted Peak Performance'' (``APP'')

    Note 6 of the Technical Note on ``APP'' is amended by removing the 
requirement to calculate the APP value for multiple memory/processor 
combinations operating simultaneously utilizing ``specially designed'' 
hardware, such as external interconnection equipment controlled under 
4A003.g. Two Technical Notes are added after Note 6 for clarification 
on APP requirements for multi-processor systems. The revision to Note 6 
simplifies the Note, eliminates an instance of ``specially designed,'' 
and tightens the focus of the control on the more capable shared-memory 
computer systems. The Technical Note is added to define when processors 
actually share memory.

Category 5 Part 1--``Telecommunications''

5D001 ``Software''

    ECCN 5D001 is amended by removing and reserving Items paragraph .b, 
``Software'' ``specially designed'' or modified to support 
``technology'' controlled by 5E001, because this control is outdated 
and no longer in use.

5E001 ``Technology''

    ECCN 5E001 is amended by revising Items paragraph c.1, 
infrastructure transmission and switching ``technology'', to raise the 
``total digital transfer rate'' from 120 Gbit/s to 560 Gbit/s in order 
to accommodate advances in technology and in public standards.

Category 5 Part 2--``Information Security''

    Category 5 Part 2 is amended to revise Note 1 to Category 5 Part 2, 
5A002.a and 5A002.b to clarify that these entries apply to any system, 
equipment or component that meet the control parameters specified in a 
particular 5A002 or 5B002 entry. Prior to this revision there was a 
risk that exporters would interpret the current language to exclude 
some items that have ``information security'' functionality but are not 
specifically listed. The definition of ``cryptanalytic items'' in Sec.  
772.1 of the EAR is similarly revised, for the same reasons.
    ECCN 5A002 is amended by revising the Related Controls paragraph in 
the List of Items Controlled section to add recently added paragraphs, 
i.e., (k), (l), and (m) to Related Controls Note 2.
    This rule also revises paragraph (j) in the Note at the beginning 
of the Items section, 5A002.b, 5D002.d and 5E002.b and the definition 
of ``cryptographic activation'' in order to address a loophole 
regarding the `cryptographic activation' controls. The concept of 
``cryptographic activation'' was introduced in 2010. The purpose of (j) 
is to release from control cryptographic equipment where the 
cryptographic capability cannot be enabled without some kind of 
additional mechanism such as a license key that is securely kept and 
bound to the equipment being activated. However, it was found that the 
original wording of the definition did not explicitly exclude certain 
circumstances by which export controls on cryptography could be 
circumvented by a manufacturer.
    A new paragraph (l) is added to the Note at the beginning of Items 
paragraph to exclude from 5A002 routers, switches or relays, where the 
``information security'' functionality is limited to the tasks of 
``Operations, Administration or Maintenance--OAM,'' implementing only 
published or commercial cryptographic standards. In addition, a 
definition for ``Operations, Administration or Maintenance'' (``OAM'') 
is added to Sec.  772.1 of the EAR, as well as a new Note under 
5D002.c.
    New paragraph (m) is added to the Note at the beginning of the 
Items paragraph to exclude from 5A002 general purpose computing 
equipment or servers having standard `information security' 
functionality from their embedded mass market microprocessors (CPUs) 
and operating systems, in addition to OAM functionality.
    The Note to 5A002.a.2 (Equipment performing cryptanalytic 
functions) is amended by replacing the word `cryptanalysis' with 
`cryptanalytic functions' and adding a new Technical Note to clarify 
the meaning of `cryptanalytic functions'. This eliminates ambiguity by 
explicitly defining the term `cryptanalytic functions' for purposes of 
the control, while keeping the term `cryptanalysis' as a local 
definition to the overall definition of ``information security.''
    The definition of ``cryptanalytic items'' in Sec.  772.1 of the EAR 
is similarly revised to make clear references to `cryptanalytic 
functions' and `cryptanalysis.'
    Items paragraph a.9 and the Technical Note following Items 
paragraph a.9 are corrected by replacing the single quotes with double 
quotes around the term ``quantum cryptography'' and removing Technical 
Note 1, which is the definition for ``quantum cryptography,'' because 
that term is now defined in Sec.  772.1 of the EAR. See Sec.  774.1(d) 
regarding the quote system used in the CCL.

Category 6--Sensors and Lasers

6A001 Acoustic Systems, Equipment and ``Components''

    ECCN 6A001 is amended by revising Items paragraph a.1.a.2.a.2; the 
Technical Note after Items paragraph a.1.a.2.a.2; and Items paragraph 
a.1.a.3. Items paragraph a.1.a.2.a.2 (Underwater survey equipment 
designed for seabed topographic mapping) is amended to add the unit 
``m/s'' to the sounding rate parameter. The Technical Note that defines 
`sounding rate' is amended by adding the guidance, ``for systems that 
produce soundings in two directions (3D sonars), the maximum of the

[[Page 29436]]

`sounding rate' in either direction should be used.''
    Items paragraph a.1.a.3 (Side Scan Sonar (SSS) or Synthetic 
Aperture Sonar (SAS), designed for seabed imaging) is amended by adding 
a control for ``specially designed transmitting and receiving acoustic 
arrays therefor,'' because the quality and size of the transmitting and 
receiving hydrophone arrays is a key component to the performance of 
the overall system.
    This rule also revises the introductory text of Items paragraph 
a.1.c to add two commas and 1 set of parentheticals for clarity; adds 
the phrase ``not specified by 6A001'' to Note 1 that appears after 
Items paragraph a.1.c; removes Items paragraph a.1.c.1 and adds in its 
place Items paragraphs a.1.c.1, a.1.c.1.a and a.1.c.1.b; removes the 
Technical Note after Items paragraph a.1.c.1 and adds a Technical Note 
after Items paragraph a.1.c.1.b; and removes and reserves Items 
paragraph a.1.c.2. The revised text of 6A001.a.1.c (Acoustic 
Projectors) is intended to address an issue with the former text that 
did not specify the conditions under which the specified criteria were 
to be determined.

6A003 Cameras, Systems or Equipment, and ``Components'' Therefor

    ECCN 6A003 is amended by removing the special license requirement 
for Hong Kong in the License Requirement Table, because 6A003.b.4.b 
already requires a license under NS:2, RS:1 and RS:2 for these items.
    ECCN 6A003 is amended by revising the Reporting Requirement Note, 
under the License Requirement Table, by replacing the list of countries 
with a reference to the newly revised Country Group A:1 of Supplement 
No. 1 to part 740. This is to align with the revision of the Regional 
Stability requirements for these items in Sec.  742.6 and the overall 
national security country group amendments.
    ECCN 6A003 is amended by revising Items paragraphs a.3 through 
a.3.b, paragraph b.4.c.1 in Note 3 to 6A003.b.4.b that appears after 
Items paragraph b.4.c; and revising paragraph .b in Note 4 to 
6A003.b.4.c that appears after Items paragraph b.4.c. Items paragraph 
a.3 through a.3.b (mechanical or electronic streak cameras) are amended 
by restructuring the control text in a cascading format to apply the 
writing speed parameter to mechanical camera and a temporal resolution 
to electronic tube cameras. As a result, plug-ins for streak cameras 
are decontrolled, which are relatively simple devices and do not 
represent a concern.
    Note 3 and 4 to 6A003.b.4.b and 6A003.b.4.c respectively are 
amended to adjust the parameters in order to decontrol imaging cameras 
as a component of a night vision system for civil passenger land 
vehicles.

6A004 Optical Equipment and ``Components,''

    ECCN 6A004 is amended by revising the GBS and CIV paragraphs under 
the List Based License Exceptions section, adding a Technical Note 
after introductory Items paragraph 6A004.a; revising Items paragraph 
a.1, including adding subparagraphs a.1.a through a.1.b.2; and removing 
and reserving Items paragraph d.4. 6A004.a.1 is revised to address an 
issue with the text that essentially captured all deformable mirrors 
(DMs) on the market, irrespective of their military significance. The 
revised text includes new parameters that more closely identifies DMs 
with clear military utility and significance.
    In addition, this rule revises Items paragraph a.4, including 
adding subparagraphs a.4.a through a.4.b.2.b and N.B after a.4.b.2.b. 
The revised text of 6A004.a.4 (Mirrors for beam steering mirror stages) 
and 6A004.d.2 (Beam steering mirrors stages and resonator alignment 
equipment) are updated to align the parameters with technological 
advancements in this area.
    This rule also revises Items paragraph d.2, including adding 
subparagraphs d.2.a through d.2.b in order to separate and modernize 
the beam steering mirror controls in 6A004.a.4 and mirror control 
equipment listed 6A004.d.2.
    Optical control equipment for segmented mirror alignment in 
6A004.d.4 is removed because space qualified segmented mirror systems 
are already captured by 6A004.c.3, which makes the 6A004.d.4 control 
entirely redundant. Any non-space qualified optical control equipment 
for segmented mirror alignment is widely available and does not warrant 
control. License Exception GBS and CIV paragraphs are amended to remove 
reference to 6A004.d.4.

6A005 ``Lasers,'' ``Components'' and Optical Equipment

    ECCN 6A005 is amended by removing the Note to 6A005.c that appears 
after the Items paragraph .c; revising Items paragraph e.2; adding a 
Note to Items paragraph e.2; and adding Items paragraph e.3.
    The Note to 6A005.c is removed because some of the referenced laser 
technologies no longer exist. However, this does not mean that all the 
lasers listed in this Note are decontrolled, and exporters should look 
to specific ECCNs related to specific lasers to confirm control status.
    Items paragraph e.2 (optical mirrors or transmissive or partially 
transmissive optical or electro-optical-''components,'') is amended to 
move ``fused tapered fiber combiners and Multi-Layer Dielectric 
gratings (MLDs)'' to Items paragraph e.3.c. Items paragraph e.3 (fiber 
laser components) is added to specify parameters for fiber laser 
components of concern.

6C005 Laser Material

    The Heading of 6C005 is amended to be more general, because 
specific items paragraphs are added to this entry. What was previously 
specified by the Heading is now specified in Items paragraph 6C005.a. 
Rare-earth-metal doped double-clad fibers are added to 6C005.b to 
specify components of concern.

6D003 Other ``Software''

    6D003.d is added to control ``software'' specially designed to 
maintain the alignment and phasing of segmented mirror systems 
consisting of mirror segments having a diameter or major axis length 
equal to or larger than 1 m. While this rule removes optical control 
equipment specially designed to maintain the alignment and phasing of 
segmented mirror systems from 6A004.d.4, because it is widely 
available, the software for such purposes is not widely available and 
still warrants controls.

Category 7--Navigation and Avionics

7A003 `Inertial Measurement Equipment or Systems'

    This rule replaces the reference to `civil aviation authorities in 
a Wassenaar Arrangement Participating State' with `civil aviation 
authorities of one or more Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States' 
in various entries of the control lists (7A003 Note 2, 9A001.a, 
9E003.h). This change acknowledges the fact that, for example in Europe 
the authority for certifying civil aircraft and components for 
airworthiness is the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). It would 
ensure that the Notes continue to apply to aircraft and components 
certified in European countries that may no longer have a Civil 
Aviation Authority.

7D004 & 7E004 Fly-by-Wire and Fly-by-Light ``Source Code'' and 
``Technology''

    ECCN 7D004 and 7E004 are amended by revising the Related Controls 
paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to remove reference 
to ECCNs 0D521 and 0E521, because these items

[[Page 29437]]

have been added to 7D004.c and 7E004.b.7 and b.8. Accordingly, 0D521 
No. 2 and 0E521 No. 6 are removed from the Table of Supplement No. 5 to 
part 774 of the EAR.
    These changes are intended to address an issue with the current 
text which only controls `active flight control systems' for 
protection-predictive diagnosis (7E004.b.3 and 7E004.b.4) and the 
related software in 7D004. The revised text will cover technology and 
software ``know-how'' related to high performance fly-by-wire/fly-by-
light systems that could enhance the performance capabilities of 
systems of concern. Source code for fly-by-wire/fly-by-light systems is 
addressed in a new entry 7D004.c.
    There are two main revisions to 7E004: Addition of a 7E004.b.7, 
which is intended to control the ``development'' ``technology'' for 
specific fly-by-wire functions/capabilities, which enable or enhance 
critical military capabilities; and addition of 7E004.b.8, which 
controls the technology to design a fault tolerant fly-by-wire system 
that has a Probability of Loss of Control (PLOC) rate of less (better) 
than 1x10-9. Also the Note that appeared after paragraph b.6 
is moved to after paragraph b.8.b, as well as adding double quotes 
around the word ``technology'' within the Note.

7E001 Technology for Items Controlled in Category 7

    7E001 Heading is corrected to reinsert the exceptions to 7A994 and 
7B994 that were inadvertently removed by the last WA implementation 
rule.

Category 8--Marine

8A001 Submersible Vehicles and Surface Vessels

    ECCN 8A001 is amended by removing Items paragraphs .f (surface-
effect vehicles (fully skirted variety)), .g (surface-effect vehicles 
(rigid sidewalls)), .h (hydrofoil vessels with active systems for 
automatically controlling foil systems), and .i (small waterplane area 
vessels), because these control entries are obsolete. Commodities no 
longer controlled in 8A001 may now be controlled in ECCN 8A992 
(Vessels, marine systems or equipment, not controlled by 8A001 or 
8A002, and ``specially designed'' ``parts'' and ``components'' 
therefor, and marine boilers and ``parts,'' ``components,'' 
``accessories,'' and ``attachments''). ``Technology'' according to the 
General Technology Note for the ``development'' or ``production'' of 
the equipment removed from 8A001 remains controlled in newly added 
8E002.c.

8A002 Marine Systems, Equipment, ``Parts'' and ``Components''

    ECCN 8A002 is amended by removing Items paragraphs .k (skirts, 
seals and fingers), .l (Lift fans), .m (fully submerged subcavitating 
or supercavitating hydrofoils, ``specially designed'' for vessels 
controlled by 8A001.h), .n (active systems ``specially designed'' or 
modified to control automatically the sea-induced motion of vehicles or 
vessels, controlled by 8A001.f, 8A001.g, 8A001.h or 8A001.i), and o.1 
(Water-screw propeller or power transmission systems, ``specially 
designed'' for surface effect vehicles (fully skirted or rigid sidewall 
variety), hydrofoils or `small waterplane area vessels' controlled by 
8A001.f, 8A001.g, .8A001.h or 8A001.i), because these are support 
systems for the items being deleted in 8A001. Commodities no longer 
controlled in 8A002 may now be controlled in ECCN 8A992 (Vessels, 
marine systems or equipment, not controlled by 8A001 or 8A002, and 
``specially designed'' ``parts'' and ``components'' therefor, and 
marine boilers and ``parts,'' ``components,'' ``accessories,'' and 
``attachments'').

8A620 Submersible Vessels, Oceanographic and Associated Commodities

    ECCN 8A620 is amended by revising Items paragraph .f (Closed and 
semi-closed circuit (rebreathing) apparatus ``specially designed'' for 
military use and not enumerated elsewhere in the CCL or in the USML) by 
removing the control for ``specially designed'' ``components'' for use 
in the conversion of open-circuit apparatus to military use, because 
none have been identified.

8E002 Other ``Technology''

    ECCN 8E002 is amended by removing License Exception TSR 
eligibility, because 8E002.a is specifically ineligible for License 
Exception TSU pursuant to the Note in the General Technology Note (GTN) 
of Supplement No. 2 to part 774. This rule also adds a License 
Exception Note to the List Based License Exceptions section to 
reference the Note to the GTN, which makes this ECCN ineligible for 
License Exception TSU, so that people do not overlook the Note to the 
GTN that has been in existence for more than a decade. In addition, 
this rule adds Items paragraph .c to maintain controls on 
``technology'' according to the General Technology Note for the 
``development'' or ``production'' of equipment deleted from 8A001.f 
through .i. Even though this equipment is obsolete to those that have 
advanced technology, the technology still warrants controls because of 
the usefulness of the equipment.

Category 9--Aerospace and Propulsion

9A001 Aero Gas Turbine Engines

    ECCN 9A001 is amended by revising Notes 1 and 2 in Items paragraph 
.a for reasons explained under 7A003 above.

9A003 and 9D003 (Components and Software for Gas Turbine Engines)

    ECCNs 9A003 and 9D003 are amended by revising the Headings by 
replacing the ``and'' with ``or'' and to also control the ``specially 
designed'' assemblies or components of the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) 
(which incorporate ``technologies'' controlled by 9E003.a and 9E003.h) 
and FADEC software of the APU until it becomes decontrolled by Note 2 
under 9A001 (APU's). The changes also make clear that when an APU 
becomes decontrolled by Note 2 under 9A001, then the specially designed 
assemblies or components, as well as the FADEC software, can be 
exported without any further licensing requirements. Item paragraph .b 
is revised to align the country scope with the Wassenaar Participating 
States of Supplement No. 1 to part 743 of the EAR.

9A004 Space Launch Vehicles and ``Spacecraft,'' ``Spacecraft Buses'', 
``Spacecraft Payloads'', ``Spacecraft'' On-Board Systems or Equipment, 
and Terrestrial Equipment

    ECCN 9A004 is amended by revising the Heading; revising the License 
Requirements section; redesignating Items paragraph .a as .w; adding 
paragraphs .a through .f.2; and revising the range of paragraphs that 
are Reserved from ``b. through w.'' to ``g. through v.''
    Items paragraph .a (the International Space Station) is moved to 
Items paragraph .w, in order to add newly designated Items paragraphs 
.a (space launch vehicles), .b (``spacecraft''), .c (``spacecraft 
buses''), .d (``spacecraft payloads''), .e (on-board systems or 
equipment, specially designed for ``spacecraft''), and .f (terrestrial 
equipment, specially designed for ``spacecraft''). Even though these 
Items paragraphs .a-.f are controlled under a different ECCN 9A515, as 
indicated by the new License Requirement Note, they are listed here so 
they harmonize with the placement of them in the Wassenaar Arrangement 
Dual-use List in order to create a pointer to ECCN 9A515 for those that 
look for them here first. BIS

[[Page 29438]]

will keep using 9A515 for these items because it works best with the 
unique export controls of the U.S., in that the ``15'' in the number 
corresponds to the category on the USML where related military items 
are specified.
    Prior to publication of this rule, only some specific components 
were controlled on their own merits in the relevant categories (e.g., 
sensors), and when exported separately. The new controls capture the 
major sub-assemblies or equipment of a satellite that represent a high 
level of technology and are sensitive in terms of the potential 
military application they confer. This is the case of ``spacecraft 
buses'' (9A004.c), ``spacecraft payloads'' incorporating specific items 
controlled elsewhere in the CCL (9A004.d), on-board systems or 
equipment performing specific functions such as Attitude and Orbit 
Control (9A004.e) and terrestrial equipment--telemetry and telecommand 
equipment or simulators--(9A004.f).
    Finally, the terms ``spacecraft bus'' and ``spacecraft payload'' 
are added to Sec.  772.1 to avoid any ambiguity in the terms used, 
reflecting the technical state of the art and the commercial practices, 
and to facilitate common interpretation of both concepts.

9A010 ``Specially Designed'' ``Parts,'' ``Components,'' Systems and 
Structures, for Launch Vehicles, Launch Vehicle Propulsion Systems or 
``Spacecraft''

    ECCN 9A010 is amended by adding a List of Items Controlled section 
and Items paragraph heading; and adding Items paragraphs .a through .d 
in order to harmonize with the Wassenaar Dual-Use List placement and to 
direct people who may look for them here first to the ITAR. These items 
are ``subject to the ITAR'' (See 22 CFR parts 120 through 130).

9A012 Non-Military ``Unmanned Aerial Vehicles,'' (``UAVs''), Unmanned 
``Airships'', Related Equipment and ``Components''

    ECCN 9A012 is amended by revising the Heading, the MT paragraph in 
the License Requirements section, and Items paragraphs .a through b.2, 
and b.4. The word `system' is deleted from the Heading because the 
revised text no longer includes systems. The capitalization of words 
that are abbreviated for the first time is corrected in the MT license 
requirement paragraph. The revised text of 9A012.a limits the control 
of UAVs to those designed to have controlled flight out of the direct 
`natural vision' of the `operator' and having either: 1) A maximum 
`endurance' greater than or equal to 30 minutes but less than 1 hour 
and designed to take-off and have stable controlled flight in wind 
gusts of 25 knots or greater, or 2) A maximum `endurance' of 1 hour or 
greater. Three new Technical Notes explain what is meant by `operator,' 
`endurance,' `natural vision.' Items paragraphs b.1 and b.2 are deleted 
because remote control components are very hard to distinguish from 
model aircraft remote control units for smaller platforms, or they are 
not considered as critical enabling equipment for larger platforms. 
Items paragraph b.4 is amended to make the SI system (International 
System of Quantities ISO) the main reference for parameters as agreed 
to by WA.

9B001 Equipment, Tooling or Fixtures, ``Specially Designed'' for 
Manufacturing Gas Turbine Engine Blades, Vanes or ``Tip Shrouds''

    ECCN 9B001 is amended by revising the Heading; the Special 
Conditions for STA section; Items paragraph .b; and adding Items 
paragraph .c. The Heading is amended by replacing the ``and'' with 
``or,'' adding the word ``engine'' before ``blades,'' replacing ``tip 
shroud'' with ``tip shrouds,'' and removing the word ``castings'' to 
clarify the scope of the entry. Paragraph .b includes a control on 
cores or shells made from refractory metals. The Special Conditions for 
STA that apply to Country Group A:6 are revised to expand the scope to 
all of 9B001 to reflect the limited availability of 9B001.a equipment 
outside of WA Participating countries and the emerging technology of 
9B001.c. This change is also reflected in Supplement No. 6 to part 774 
``Sensitive List.'' Items paragraph .b is revised to update the current 
entry and provide a more comprehensive description of the critical 
production tools for the manufacture of gas turbine blades, vanes or 
tip shrouds. Paragraph 9B001.c is added to control additive 
manufacturing equipment for turbine components.

9B010 Equipment ``Specially Designed'' for the Production of Items 
Specified by 9A012

    ECCN 9B010 is amended by revising the Heading to harmonize with the 
changes made to ECCN 9A012.

9D003 ``Software'' Incorporating ``Technology'' Specified by ECCN 
9E003.h and Used in ``FADEC Systems'' for Systems Controlled by ECCN 
9A001 to 9A003, 9A101 (Except for Items in 9A101.b that are ``Subject 
to the ITAR'', See 22 CFR Part 121), 9A106.d or .e, or 9B (Except for 
ECCNs 9B604, 9B610, 9B619, 9B990, and 9B991)

    The Heading of 9D003 is amended by removing the word ``propulsion'' 
to clarify the scope of the entry and by removing 9A004 from the range 
of systems related to ``FADEC Systems.'' ECCN 9A004 now controls 
spacecraft items, which have no gas turbine engines. FADEC Systems are 
defined for gas turbine engines.

9D004 Other ``Software''

    ECCN 9D004 is amended by revising Items paragraphs .c and .e to 
specify software that is specially designed to control the crystal 
growth process in casting or additive manufacturing equipment specified 
in 9B001.a or 9B001.c, respectively.

9D005 ``Software'' Specially Designed or Modified for the Operation of 
Items Specified by 9A004.e or 9A004.f. (This ``Software'' Is Controlled 
by ECCN 9D515)

    A new entry 9D005 is added to the CCL to control related software 
to the new spacecraft controls added to 9A004. However, these Items are 
already controlled under ECCN 9D515 on the CCL, as indicated by the 
text in the parentheticals. This entry is added to the CCL to harmonize 
with the placement of them in the Wassenaar Arrangement Dual-use List 
and so that people who look for them here first will be directed to 
ECCN 9D515 where they are controlled in the CCL. BIS will keep using 
9D515 for this software because it works best with the unique export 
controls of the U.S., in that the ``15'' in the number corresponds to 
the category on the USML that specifies related military items.

9E003 Other ``Technology''

    ECCN 9E003 is amended by revising the SI License Requirement 
paragraph in the License Requirements section, the items paragraphs a.3 
through a.4, redesignating paragraph .j as .k, and adding new Items 
paragraph .j. The SI license requirement paragraph is amended by 
replacing the reference to paragraph .j with .k, because .j was 
redesignated as .k. Item paragraph a.3 is amended to address an overlap 
between entries 1E001, 9E003.a.3.a and 9E003.a.3.c. Item paragraph a.4 
is updated to align with 9E003.a.2 and 9E003.a.5. The Note to 9E003.h 
that

[[Page 29439]]

appears after Items paragraph h.3 is revised to align the country scope 
with the Wassenaar Participating States of Supplement No. 1 to part 743 
of the EAR. Items paragraph .j is added to control wing-folding systems 
on large, high-speed civil jet aircraft that represent an emerging 
technology in the civilian sector, as current wing folding systems are 
generally limited to military aircraft designed to operate from 
aircraft carriers and to smaller general aviation aircraft.

Supplement No. 5 to Part 774 ``Items Classified Under ECCNS 0A521, 
0B521, 0C521, 0D521 and 0E521''

    Supplement No. 5 to part 774 is amended by removing and reserving 
0D521 No. 2 ``Source code'' for the ``development'' of fly-by-wire 
control systems''; and removing 0E521 No. 6 ``Technology'' for fly-by-
wire control systems,'' because this software and technology are now 
controlled in 7D004 and 7E004.

Supplement No. 6 to Part 774 ``Sensitive List''

    Supplement No. 6 to part 774 ``Sensitive List'' is amended by 
revising paragraph (2), removing and reserving paragraph (5)(iv), and 
revising ``9B001.b'' to read ``9B001'' in paragraph (9)(ii). Paragraph 
(2) ``2D001, 2E001, and 2E002'' are revised to harmonize with changes 
made to Category 2 of the CCL, e.g., changing ``stated positioning 
accuracy'' to ``unidirectional positioning repeatability.'' Paragraph 
(5)(iv) ``5D001.b--``Software'' specially designed or modified to 
support ``technology'' controlled by this Supplement's description of 
5E001.a'' is removed and reserved because this control is outdated and 
no longer used. Paragraph (9)(ii) is amended to expand the scope to all 
of 9B001 to reflect the limited availability of 9B001.a equipment 
outside of WA Participating countries and the emerging technology of 
9B001.c.

Part 740--License Exceptions and Country Groups

    In order to align Country Group A:1 (formerly Coordinating 
Committee (CoCom) member countries) with its successor the Wassenaar 
Arrangement, BIS is adding Argentina, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech 
Republic, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, South Korea, 
Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, 
Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, and Switzerland to Country Group A:1 in 
Supplement No. 1 to part 740. The new name of column A:1 is Wassenaar 
Participating States. Footnote 1, which was used to identify the 
cooperating countries, i.e., those countries that cooperated with the 
policies of CoCom, is removed because all of the cooperating countries 
are now in A:1, except for Hong Kong. New Footnote 1 is added to the 
title of Column A:1 to say, ``Country Group A:1 is a list of the 
Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States, except for Malta, Russia 
and Ukraine.'' Footnote 2 is added to the title of Country Group A:4 
Nuclear Suppliers Group to say, ``Country Group A:4 is a list of the 
Nuclear Suppliers Group countries, except for the People's Republic of 
China (PRC).''
    License Exception GOV in Sec.  740.11 is amended by revising the 
country scope of the term ``cooperating governments'' in paragraph 
(c)(1). Argentina, Austria, Finland, Ireland, Korea (Republic of), New 
Zealand, Sweden, and Switzerland are removed from the definition of 
``cooperating governments,'' because these countries are now included 
in the newly revised Country Group A:1, which is already included in 
the definition of cooperating government. The revision of Country Group 
A:1 expands the country scope of the term ``cooperating government'' in 
Sec.  740.11(c)(1) by adding Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, 
Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Poland, Romania, 
Slovakia, Slovenia, and South Africa. These countries are now eligible 
destinations under Sec.  740.11(c) of License Exception GOV, which 
authorizes exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) of items 
listed in paragraph Sec.  740.11(c)(2) consigned to or for official use 
of any agency of a cooperating government within the national territory 
of cooperating governments, except items excluded by paragraph Sec.  
740.11(c)(3). ``Official use'' includes exports, reexports and 
transfers (in-country) to and for the official use of a military end 
user or military end use or an agency of NATO. This authorization also 
extends to exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) to and for the 
official use of a diplomatic or consular mission located in any country 
in Country Group B, which includes all of the newly added countries. 
Paragraph (f) of Sec.  744.17 (Restrictions on certain exports, 
reexports and transfers (in-country) of microprocessors and associated 
``software'' and ``technology'' for ``military end uses'' and to 
``military end users.''), excludes agencies of a cooperating government 
from the license requirements set forth in Sec.  744.17. While the 
License Exception GOV authorization for cooperating governments is 
referenced in Sec.  743.1(b)(1) for WA reporting requirements, the 
expansion of the country scope for cooperating governments does not 
change the scope of the reporting requirements, because the reports are 
only required for exports outside of the WA Participating Countries and 
all the additional countries are WA Participating Countries.

Sec.  740.16--License Exception APR

    Expanding the country scope of Country Group A:1 also affects 
License Exception APR in Sec.  740.16(a) and (b). Prior to publication 
of this rule, paragraph (a) authorized reexports from countries in 
Country Group A:1 and cooperating countries. As this rule removes the 
term ``cooperating countries,'' the authorization is now for 
destinations in Country Group A:1 and Hong Kong. The same change is 
made to paragraph (b), which authorizes reexports to and among 
destinations in Country Group A:1 and Hong Kong. In addition, the list 
of countries in paragraph (b)(3) that pertain to cameras is replaced by 
a reference to Country Group A:1. This revision removes Albania, Cyprus 
and Malta from License Exception APR eligibility for cameras in 
paragraph (b)(3), because of the high risk of diversion to unauthorized 
end users, end uses and destinations.

Supplement No. 1 to Part 738--Commerce Country Chart

    The Commerce Country Chart is amended by revising the second 
columns for national security (NS:2), and regional stability (RS:2) in 
order to harmonize these columns with the newly revised Country Group 
A:1, making the license requirement consistent with the risk of 
diversion to unauthorized end users, end uses and destinations. 
Specifically, this rule would remove the X, i.e., license requirement, 
in the NS:2 Column for Argentina, as well as removing the X in the RS:2 
Column for South Korea, because the risk of diversion to unauthorized 
destinations, parties or uses is low for these countries. Both 
Argentina and South Korea are WA Participating States, but are not NATO 
member countries. This rule also harmonizes the license requirements 
between the NS:2 and RS:2 columns by adding an X for Albania in the 
RS:2 column, because the RS controls generally mirror the NS license 
requirements in order to promote regional stability. Albania is not a 
WA Participating State, but it is a NATO member country; however this 
rule adds an X for RS:2, because the risk of

[[Page 29440]]

diversion to unauthorized destinations, parties or uses is high. The 
only difference between NS:2 and RS:2 after these revisions is that 
there is not an X under RS:2 for India. On January 23, 2015 (80 FR 
3463), BIS published a rule that removed the X under RS:2 for India in 
order to further implement the November 8, 2010 bilateral 
understanding.

Sec.  742.4--National Security

    Section 742.4(a) is amended by replacing the reference to Country 
Group A:5 with a reference to Country Group A:1. The difference between 
Country Group A:5 and the newly formulated Country Group A:1 is that 
Mexico and South Africa are included in A:1, but are not in A:5. Mexico 
and South Africa are Wassenaar Participating States and do not pose a 
risk of diversion to unauthorized end users or end uses. This rule also 
removes the special country scope for ECCN 6A003.b.4.b cameras, because 
this rule is aligning the country scope for these cameras with NS:2, 
which adds a license requirement for Albania, Cyprus and Malta because 
of the high risk of diversion of these cameras to unauthorized end 
users, end uses and destinations.

Sec.  742.6--Regional Stability

    Section 742.6 is amended by revising paragraphs (a)(2)(iii), 
(a)(2)(v), (a)(3) and (a)(4)(ii) in order to replace the lists of 
countries with a reference to the newly revised Country Group A:1 of 
Supplement No. 1 to part 740. This revision aligns this section with 
the revised Country Group A:1 and Columns NS:2 and RS:2 in the Commerce 
Country Chart in Supplement No. 1 to part 738. Paragraph (a)(4)(i) is 
amended by replacing a reference to ``Australia, India, Japan, New 
Zealand and countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
(NATO)'' with a reference to ``Country Group A:1 (see Supplement No. 1 
to part 740 of the EAR) and India.'' These countries are excepted from 
an RS:2 license requirement. Newly revised RS Column 2 does not have an 
X for India, which makes it different from NS:2 and Country Group A:1. 
On January 23, 2015, BIS published a rule (80 FR 3463) that removed the 
X under RS:2 for India in order to further implement the November 8, 
2010 bilateral understanding.

Sec.  743.1--Wassenaar Arrangement

    Section 743.1 is amended by correcting a reference to License 
Exception GOV in paragraph (b)(1) and revising paragraphs (g) and (h) 
to add an Email address for submission of the Wassenaar reports and to 
update the contact information for Wassenaar reports.

Sec.  743.3--Thermal Imaging Camera Reporting

    Paragraph (b) in Sec.  743.3 is amended by replacing the list of 
countries with a reference to the newly revised Country Group A:1 of 
Supplement No. 1 to part 740. This revision aligns these reporting 
requirements with the revised Regional Stability requirements for these 
items in Sec.  742.6 and the overall national security country group 
amendments.

Part 772--Definitions

    Section 772.1 is amended by adding in alphabetical order the terms: 
fly-by-light system, fly-by-wire system, library, operations, 
administration or maintenance (OAM), plasma atomization, quantum 
cryptography, spacecraft bus, and spacecraft payload; and revising the 
terms: civil aircraft, cryptanalytic items, cryptographic activation, 
end-effectors, information security, local area network, and 
technology.
    See Sec.  774.1(d) regarding the quote system used in the CCL. If a 
term on the CCL uses double quotes it means there is a defined term in 
part 772. However, the absence of double quotes does not mean that a 
term used on the CCL is not defined in part 772.
    The reason for revising the definition of the term ``civil 
aircraft'' is stated under the explanation for amendments of ECCN 7A003 
above.
    The definition of ``cryptographic activation'' was restructured, 
and in places reworded, to more clearly and precisely reflect the 2010 
Wassenaar agreements, without changing the scope. The words ``of an 
item'' were added after ``Any technique that activates or enables 
cryptographic capability,'' and additional wording makes clear that the 
`mechanism for ``cryptographic activation'' ' must be ``uniquely 
bound'' to ``a single instance of the item'' or to ``one customer, for 
multiple instances of the item.'' These clarifications convey that 
``cryptographic activation'' ' does not include changing or upgrading 
the controlled cryptographic functionality of a previously exported 
item, or using a single license key or digitally-signed certificate to 
activate multiple types of items. For editorial reasons, the 
explanation that license keys or digitally-signed certificates can be 
`mechanisms for ``cryptographic activation'' ' was moved into the 
Technical Notes.
    The definition for the term ``end-effectors'' is amended by 
replacing the double quotes with single quotes around the term ``active 
tooling units,'' because the definition for ``active tooling unit'' is 
in the Note to the definition of ``end-effectors'' and is not a 
separate term defined in Section 772.1 of the EAR.
    The terms ``fly-by-wire'' and ``fly-by-light'' are added to Section 
772.1 in order to help the exporting community understand the scope of 
the new controls in ECCNs 7D004 and 7E004.
    The reference for the term ``information security'' is amended by 
replacing the reference to (Cat 5) with (Cat 4, 5P1, 5P2, 8, GSN) 
because this term is used in all these locations. In addition, double 
quotes are replaced by single quotes around the term `cryptanalysis' 
because this term is defined in the Technical Note to the definition of 
``information security.''
    The definition of ``local area network'' is amended by replacing 
double quotes with single quotes around the term `data devices,' 
because the term is defined in a Note to the term ``local area 
network.''
    The terms ``operations, administration or maintenance'' (``OAM'') 
and ``quantum cryptography'' are added to Sec.  772.1 and the term 
``cryptanalytic items'' is revised for reasons stated under ``Category 
5 Part 2--``Information Security'' above.
    The term ``plasma atomization'' is added to Sec.  772.1 for reasons 
stated under ECCN 1C002 above.
    The terms ``spacecraft bus'' and ``spacecraft payload'' are added 
to Sec.  772.1 for reasons stated under ECCN 9A004.
    The reference list for the term ``technology'' is amended by adding 
``throughout the EAR,'' because this term is used throughout the EAR. 
In addition, double quotes are replaced by single quotes around the 
terms `technical data' and `technical assistance,' because these terms 
are defined in the Technical Notes to this definition and not as 
separate terms within Sec.  772.1.
    The term ``unidirectional positioning repeatability'' is added to 
Sec.  772.1 for reasons stated in under ECCN 2B001 above.

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 46957 (August 11, 2014), has continued the Export 
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency

[[Page 29441]]

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 license exception eligibility or 
eligibility for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a 
license as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock for 
loading, on lighter, laden aboard a carrier, or en route aboard a 
carrier to a port, on May 21, 2015, pursuant to actual orders to a 
destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous license 
exception eligibility or without a license so long as they have been 
exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) before July 20, 2015. 
Any such items not actually exported, reexported, or transferred (in-
country) before midnight, on July 20, 2015, require a license 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 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 designated a ``significant regulatory 
action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person 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 rule 
involves two collections of information subject to the PRA. One of the 
collections has been approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088, 
``Multi-Purpose Application,'' and carries a burden hour estimate of 58 
minutes for a manual or electronic submission. The other of the 
collections has been approved by OMB under control number 0694-0106, 
``Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements under the Wassenaar 
Arrangement,'' and carries a burden hour estimate of 21 minutes for a 
manual or electronic submission. Send comments regarding these burden 
estimates or any other aspect of these collections of information, 
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to OMB Desk Officer, New 
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; and to Jasmeet Seehra, 
OMB Desk Officer, by email at Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.eop.gov or by fax 
to (202) 395-7285; and to the Office of Administration, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Ave. 
NW., Room 6622, Washington, DC 20230.
    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 participation, and a 30-day 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 obligation to the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export 
Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. The 
Wassenaar Arrangement contributes to international security and 
regional stability by promoting greater responsibility in transfers of 
conventional arms and dual use goods and technologies, thus preventing 
destabilizing accumulations of such items. The Wassenaar Arrangement 
consists of 41 member countries that act on a consensus basis and the 
changes set forth in this rule implement agreements reached at the 
December 2014 plenary session of the WA. Because the United States is a 
significant exporter of the items covered by this rule, implementation 
of this rule is necessary for the WA to achieve its purpose. Any delay 
in implementation will create a disruption in the movement of affected 
items globally because of disharmony between export control measures 
implemented by WA members, resulting in tension between member 
countries. 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 WA in a timely manner and would injure the 
credibility of the United States in this and other multilateral 
regimes.
    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. 
Although there is no formal comment period, public comments on this 
regulation are welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be 
submitted to Sharron Cook, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania 
Ave. NW., Room 2099, Washington, DC 20230.

8. Section 742.4 is amended by revising paragraph (a) to read as 
follows:

Sec.  742.4  National security.

    (a) License requirements. It is the policy of the United States to 
restrict the export and reexport of items that would make a significant 
contribution to the military potential of any other country or 
combination of countries that would prove detrimental to the national 
security of the United States. Accordingly, a license is required for 
exports and reexports to all destinations, except Canada, for all items 
in ECCNs on the CCL that include NS Column 1 in the Country Chart 
column of the ``License Requirements'' section. A license is required 
to all destinations except those in Country Group A:1 (see Supplement 
No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR), for all items in ECCNs on the CCL that 
include NS column 2 in the Commerce Country Chart column of the 
``License Requirements'' section except those cameras in ECCN 
6A003.b.4.b that have a focal plane array with 111,000 or fewer 
elements and a frame rate of 60 Hz or less. A license is required to 
all destinations except those in Country Group A:1 (see Supplement No. 
1 to part 740) for those cameras in ECCN 6A003.b.4.b that have a focal 
plane array with 111,000 or fewer elements and a frame rate of 60 Hz or 
less and for cameras being exported or reexported pursuant to an 
authorization described in Sec.  742.6(a)(2)(iii) or (v) of the EAR. 
The purpose of the controls is to ensure that these items do not make a 
contribution to the military potential of countries in Country Group 
D:1 (see Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR) that would prove 
detrimental to the national security of the United States. License 
Exception GBS is available for the export and reexport of certain 
national security controlled items to Country Group B (see Sec.  740.4 
and Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR).

    (iii) BIS may issue licenses for cameras subject to the license 
requirement of paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section that are fully-
packaged for use as consumer-ready civil products that, in addition to 
the specific transactions authorized by such license, authorize exports 
and reexports of such cameras without a license to any civil end-user 
to whom such exports or reexport are not otherwise prohibited by U.S. 
law in a destination in Country Group A:1 (see Supplement No. 1 to part 
740 of the EAR). The license requirements of this paragraph (a)(2) 
shall not apply to exports or reexports so authorized. In this 
paragraph, the term ``civil end-user'' means any entity that is not a 
national armed service (army, navy, marine, air force, or coast guard), 
national guard, national police, government intelligence organization 
or government reconnaissance organization, or any person or entity 
whose actions or functions are intended to support ``military end-
uses'' as defined in Sec.  744.17(d) of the EAR.
* * * * *
    (v) BIS may also issue licenses for the cameras described in 
paragraph (a)(2)(iv) of this section that, in addition to the specific 
transactions authorized by such license, authorize exports and 
reexports to authorized companies described in the license for the 
purpose

[[Page 29444]]

of embedding such cameras into a completed product that will be 
distributed only in countries in Country Group A:1 (see Supplement No. 
1 to part 740 of the EAR). The license requirements of this paragraph 
(a)(2) shall not apply to exports or reexports so authorized. In this 
paragraph, the term ``authorized companies'' means companies that have 
been previously licensed for export, are not the subject of relevant 
negative intelligence or open source information, have not been the 
subject of a Department of Commerce or Department of State enforcement 
action within the past two years, have demonstrable production 
capacity, and do not pose an unacceptable risk of diversion.
    (3) Special RS Column 1 license requirement applicable to military 
commodities. A license is required for reexports to all destinations 
except Canada for items classified under ECCN 0A919 except when such 
items are being reexported as part of a military deployment by a unit 
of the government of a country in Country Group A:1 (see Supplement No. 
1 to part 740 of the EAR) or the United States.
    (4) * * *
    (i) License requirements applicable to most RS Column 2 items. As 
indicated in the CCL and in RS Column 2 of the Commerce Country Chart 
(see Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR), a license is required to 
any destination except those in Country Group A:1 (see Supplement No. 1 
to part 740 of the EAR) and India for all items in ECCNs on the CCL 
that include RS Column 2 in the Country Chart column of the ``License 
Requirements'' section. A license continues to be required for items 
controlled under ECCNs 6A003.b.4.b and 9A515.e for RS Column 2 reasons 
when destined to India.
    (ii) Special RS Column 2 license requirements applicable only to 
certain cameras. As indicated by the CCL, and RS column 2 and footnote 
number 4 to the Commerce Country Chart, a license is required to any 
destination except a country in Country Group A:1 (see Supplement No. 1 
to part 740 of the EAR) for fully-packaged thermal imaging cameras for 
use as consumer-ready civil products controlled by 6A003.b.4.b when

Product Group B are revised to read as follows:

Category 2--Materials Processing

* * * * *

B. ``Test'', ``Inspection'' and ``Production Equipment''

Technical Notes for 2B001 to 2B009, 2B201, 2B290 and 2B991 to 
2B999:

    1. Secondary parallel contouring axes, (e.g., the w-axis on 
horizontal boring mills or a secondary rotary axis the center line 
of which is parallel to the primary rotary axis) are not counted in 
the total number of contouring axes. Rotary axes need not rotate 
over 360[deg]. A rotary axis can be driven by a linear device (e.g., 
a screw or a rack-and-pinion).
    2. The number of axes which can be coordinated simultaneously 
for ``contouring control'' is the number of axes along or around 
which, during processing of the workpiece, simultaneous and 
interrelated motions are performed between the

[[Page 29447]]

workpiece and a tool. This does not include any additional axes 
along or around which other relative motions within the machine are 
performed, such as:
    2.a. Wheel-dressing systems in grinding machines;
    2.b. Parallel rotary axes designed for mounting of separate 
workpieces;
    2.c. Co-linear rotary axes designed for manipulating the same 
workpiece by holding it in a chuck from different ends.
    3. Axis nomenclature shall be in accordance with International 
Standard ISO 841:2001, Industrial automation systems and 
integration--Numerical control of machines--Coordinate system and 
motion nomenclature.
    4. A ``tilting spindle'' is counted as a rotary axis.
    5. `Stated ``unidirectional positioning repeatability'' ' may be 
used for each specific machine model as an alternative to individual 
machine tests, and is determined as follows:
    5.a. Select five machines of a model to be evaluated;
    5.b. Measure the linear axis repeatability (R[uarr],R[darr]) 
according to ISO 230-2:2014 and evaluate ``unidirectional 
positioning repeatability'' for each axis of each of the five 
machines;
    5.c. Determine the arithmetic mean value of the ''unidirectional 
positioning repeatability''-values for each axis of all five 
machines together. These arithmetic mean values ``unidirectional 
positioning repeatability'' (UPR) become the stated value of each 
axis for the model...) (UPRx, UPRy, . . .);
    5.d. Since the Category 2 list refers to each linear axis there 
will be as many `stated ``unidirectional positioning repeatability''

    5.e. If any axis of a machine model not controlled by 2B001.a. 
to 2B001.c. has a `stated ``unidirectional positioning 
repeatability'' ' equal to or less than the specified 
``unidirectional positioning repeatability'' of each machine tool 
model plus 0.7 [mu]m, the builder should be required to reaffirm the 
accuracy level once every eighteen months.
    6. For the purpose of 2B, measurement uncertainty for the 
``unidirectional positioning repeatability'' of machine tools, as 
defined in the International Standard ISO 230-2:2014, shall not be 
considered.
    7. For the purpose of 2B, the measurement of axes shall be made 
according to test procedures in 5.3.2. of ISO 230-2:2014. Tests for 
axes longer than 2 meters shall be made over 2 m segments. Axes 
longer than 4 m require multiple tests (e.g., two tests for axes 
longer than 4 m and up to 8 m, three tests for axes longer than 8 m 
and up to 12 m), each over 2 m segments and distributed in equal 
intervals over the axis length. Test segments are equally spaced 
along the full axis length, with any excess length equally divided 
at the beginning, in between, and at the end of the test segments. 
The smallest ``unidirectional positioning repeatability''-value of 
all test segments is to be reported.
