Wassenaar Arrangement 2015 Plenary Agreements Implementation, 
Removal of Foreign National Review Requirements, and Information 
Security Updates

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 items subject to Department of 
Commerce jurisdiction. This final rule revises the CCL, as well as 
corresponding parts of the EAR, to implement changes made to the 
Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (WA 
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 2015 WA Plenary Meeting (the Plenary). The Wassenaar 
Arrangement advocates implementation of effective export controls on 
strategic items with the objective of improving regional and 
international security and stability. This rule harmonizes the CCL with 
the changes made to the WA List at the Plenary by revising Export 
Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) controlled for national security 
reasons in each category of the CCL, as well as making other associated 
changes to the EAR.
    The changes to the WA List include raising the Adjusted Peak 
Performance (APP) for high performance computers. The President's 
report for High Performance Computers was sent to Congress on June 1, 
2016, to set forth the new APP in accordance with the National Defense 
Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY1998.
    This rule also makes changes to the EAR that were not agreed to at 
the WA Plenary. APP parameters are amended in several places in the EAR 
by this rule, such as APP parameters in the de minimis rules, License 
Exception APP, and related reporting requirements. BIS is also updating 
license requirements and policies associated with Category 5--Part 2, 
including revising Export Control Classification Numbers 5A992, 5D992 
and 5E992. In addition, this rule removes the Foreign National Review 
requirement associated with deemed exports under License Exceptions APP 
and CIV.

DATES: This rule is effective: September 20, 2016.

Part.

Part I--Wassenaar Arrangement Agreement Implementation

Background

    The Wassenaar Arrangement (Wassenaar or 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 Plenary 
meetings. Participating States are charged with implementing the agreed 
list changes as soon as possible after approval. The United States' 
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 2015 Plenary meeting.

CIV).

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

0A617 Miscellaneous ``equipment,'' materials, and Related Commodities

    ECCN 0A617 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``laser'' in paragraph (8) of the Related Controls paragraph in the 
List of Items Controlled section to clarify the entry and to indicate 
this is a term defined in Part 772 of the EAR.

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

1A001 ``Parts'' and ``components'' Made From fluorinated Compounds

    ECCN 1A001 is amended by removing and reserving paragraph .b and 
removing paragraph .c from the Items paragraph of the List of Items 
Controlled

[[Page 64657]]

section. Paragraph .b controlled piezoelectric polymers and copolymers, 
made from vinylidene fluoride (CAS 75 38 7) materials and paragraph .c 
controlled seals, gaskets, valve seats, etc. made from fluoroelastomers 
and specially designed for ``aircraft,'' aerospace or missile use. 
These types of polymers/copolymers and seals/gaskets were controlled 
because it was thought that their fluorine content gave them high 
temperature and chemical resistance. After much testing, this has 
proven not to be the case, and therefore the need to control them as a 
strategic good no longer exists.

1A002 ``Composite'' Structures or Laminates

    ECCN 1A002 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``composite'' in the introductory text of Note 1 following paragraph 
.b.2 in the Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section, to 
indicate this is a term defined in Part 772 of the EAR.

1A004 Protective and Detection Equipment and ``components''

    ECCN 1A004 is amended by revising Items paragraphs .a.1, .b.1, and 
.c.1 by removing the phrase ``adapted for use in war'' and adding 
single quotes around the remaining phrase, `biological agents', because 
the former articulation did not describe the scope of control 
accurately. This rule narrows the scope of control by adding Technical 
Note 3, which defines biological agents. Now, only biological agents 
and equipment that are specially designed or modified to provide 
protection from or detect biological agents as defined in the technical 
note are controlled, instead of all biological agents, protection, and 
detection equipment that are adapted for use in war.

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

    ECCN 1A613 is amended by revising Items paragraph .c by adding 
``specially designed,'' which narrows the scope, but also adding to the 
list of control ``liners, or comfort pads therefor.'' This revision 
stems from the WA agreement for Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions List 
(WAML) item 13.c, which deleted the vague term ``components,'' and 
moved the items listed in the id est (i.e.) that included ``helmet 
shell, liner and comfort pads'' into the main body of the sentence. WA 
also agreed to add a Nota Bene, which this rule adds after Item 
paragraph .y.1, to alert people to the fact that other components and 
accessories for helmets may be controlled under other ECCNs on the CCL 
or on the USML. The term ``specially designed'' was already in the text 
of ML 13.c and for consistency is added to 1A613.c.

1C001 Materials ``specially designed'' for Use as Absorbers of 
Electromagnetic Waves, or Intrinsically Conductive Polymers

    ECCN 1C001 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``laser'' in two places within the Note to 1C001.b to indicate this is 
a term defined in Part 772 of the EAR.

1C002 Metal Alloys, Metal Alloy Powder and Alloyed Materials

    ECCN 1C002 is amended by revising the Note at the top of the Items 
paragraph by adding the words ``specially formulated'' and replacing 
the word ``substrates'' with ``purposes.'' This revision clarifies what 
is described in the Note as not being controlled in ECCN 1C002, which 
enhances the effective control of the items that remain in this ECCN.

1C006 Fluids and Lubricating Materials

    ECCN 1C006 is amended by removing and reserving Items paragraph .a, 
because the hydraulic fluids specified in 1C006.a are either not in use 
any longer or are being phased out because most hydraulic fluids in use 
today are commercially available synthetic oil.

1C008 Non-Fluorinated Polymeric Substances

    ECCN 1C008 is amended by revising Technical Note 1 at the end of 
the Items paragraph to add 1C008.f (Polybiphenylenethersulphone) 
materials to the list of materials to which `glass transition 
temperature (Tg)' applies in order to clarify the method of determining 
`Tg' for materials specified by 1C008.f.

1C009 Unprocessed Fluorinated Compounds

    ECCN 1C009 is amended by removing and reserving paragraph .a 
(copolymers of vinylidene fluoride. . .), which no longer represents 
militarily critical materials.

1C608 Energetic Materials and Related Commodities

    ECCN 1C608 is amended by replacing the double quotes with single 
quotes around the term `controlled materials' in the Related 
Definitions paragraph because the term is not defined in Section 772.1 
of the EAR or on the WA List but the definition is included in the 
Related Definitions paragraph. The WA definition for `propellant' is 
added to the Related Definitions paragraph, so that the definition will 
be applied as applicable to items controlled under 1C608. Single quotes 
are added around the term `controlled materials' in Items paragraphs .c 
through .h, .j, and .k to indicate the local definition in the Related 
Definitions paragraph. Single quotes are also added around the terms 
`single base,' `double base,' `triple base,' `sheetstock,' and `carpet 
rolls,' because these terms are defined in the Technical Notes 
following Items paragraph .a.2. The Note below Items paragraph .a.2 to 
Technical Notes is revised, because definitions of terms belong in 
Technical Notes, while Notes are reserved for clarifying the scope of 
controls in the Items paragraph. Single quotes are added around the 
term `propellant' in Items paragraphs .a and .n, as well as in the Note 
and Technical Notes below Items paragraph .a.2. Double quotes are added 
around the term ``pyrotechnic'' in Items paragraphs .j and .n to 
indicate a definition in Part 772 and for consistency with the WA. 
Single quotes are added around the term `mixture' to indicate the 
addition of a Technical Note at the end of the Items paragraph that 
defines the term. CAS numbers are added to Note 1 and 2 for consistency 
with the WA List.

1E001 ``Technology''

    ECCN 1E001 is amended by removing reference to ``1A001.b and 
1A001.c'' in the Heading and in the first NS paragraph in the table of 
the License Requirements section because this rule removes and reserves 
these paragraphs.

1E002 Other ``technology''

    ECCN 1E002 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``aircraft'' in the Note to 1E002.f to indicate this is a term defined 
in Part 772 of the EAR.

Annex to Category 1--List of Explosives

    The Annex to Category 1 is amended by replacing the period with a 
semicolon in entry 48, because a new entry 49 is added. Entry 49 is 
added to list ``BTNEN (Bis(2,2,2-trinitroethyl)-nitramine) (CAS 19836-
28-3).''

Category 2--Materials Processing

2B001 Machine Tools and Any Combination Thereof

    ECCN 2B001 is amended by revising Items paragraphs .a, .b.1 and 
.b.2.a. The parameters for machine tools for turning and milling are 
revised to better align with the Unidirectional Positioning 
Repeatability (UPR) parameter that was implemented by WA in 2015. 
Because UPR value is generally proportional to the travel length of 
axis, WA agreed to set different control values depending on the travel 
length of machine tools. In

[[Page 64658]]

addition, Note 2 is added to clarify that 2B001.a does not apply to 
certain bar machines (Swissturn), because bar machines (Swissturn) are 
one of the typical examples of machine tools that are classified as 
controlled items even when their positioning control performances are 
not as precise as the other types of controlled machine tools.

2B006 Dimensional Inspection or Measuring Systems, Equipment, and 
``electronic assemblies''

    ECCN 2B006 is amended by revising the NP Column 1 paragraph in the 
License Requirements table because the revision to Items paragraph .b 
made by this rule will make the parameters inconsistent with the 
Nuclear Suppliers Group list. This rule revises Items paragraph b.1.c 
in the List of Items Controlled section to adjust the performance 
threshold to be consistent with the current lithography tool 
specification 3B001.f.1. Also, this rule revises the Note following the 
introductory Items paragraph b.1 to point out that the controls for 
optical-encoders are found in 2B006.b.1.c. Double quotes are added 
around the term ``laser'' in the Note to Items paragraph .b.2 to 
indicate this is a term defined in Part 772 of the EAR.

Category 3--Electronics

3A001 Electronic Items

    ECCN 3A001 is amended by revising the Heading to better articulate 
the scope of control in this ECCN. This rule revises Items paragraph 
.a.5.a.2 by increasing the output rate parameter to 500 million words 
per second for 10 bits or more but less than 12 bits, based on the 
advances in the technology since the last threshold adjustment. For 
Items paragraphs .a.5.a.3 through .a.5.a.5, the resolution breakout is 
changed from a resolution of ``12 bit'' to ``12 bit or more, but less 
than 14 bit,'' ``more than 12 bit but equal to or less than 14 bit'' is 
changed to ``14 bit or more, but less than 16 bit,'' and ``resolution 
of more than 14 bit'' is changed to ``resolution of 16 bit or more.'' 
The output rates are also changed for .a.5.a.4 to ``14 bit or more, but 
less than 16 bit'' from 125 to 250 million words per second and for 
.a.5.a.5 ``16 bit or more'' from 20 to 65 million words per second.
    The introductory text to 3A001.b is amended by replacing the word 
``components'' with ``items'' to better describe the scope of this 
paragraph. The energy density is revised from ``300 Wh/kg'' to ``350 
Wh/kg'' for Items paragraph 3A001.e.1.b ``secondary cells.''
    Double quotes are added to the term ``accuracy'' in Items paragraph 
3A001.f to indicate this term is defined in Part 772 of the EAR, and 
the ``'' before ``1.0 second of arc'' is deleted, because 
the ``'' symbol made the parameter unclear.

3A002 General Purpose ``electronic assemblies,'' Modules and Equipment

    ECCN 3A002 is amended by revising the Heading to better reflect the 
scope of the entry.
    The License Requirements section is amended by adding Missile 
Technology (MT) controls, because the MT control for 4A003.e 
``Equipment performing analog-to-digital conversions exceeding the 
limits in 3A001.a.5,'' is moved to 3A002.h. The National Security (NS) 
and Anti-terrorism (AT) controls that apply to 4A003.e are already 
present in 3A002, as NS and AT apply to the entire entry of 3A002. The 
eligibility paragraphs for License Exceptions LVS ($5,000), GBS and CIV 
are amended by adding 3A002.h (unless controlled for MT), in order to 
maintain the license exception eligibility this equipment had under 
4A003.e. ECCN 3A101 is added to the Related Controls paragraph in the 
List of Items Controlled section to reference the overlapping MT 
control of 3A002.h. Items paragraph a.5 ``waveform digitizers and 
transient recorders'' is removed and reserved, because the items are 
now controlled under the newly added Items paragraph 3A002.h. The Nota 
Bene under a.5 is revised to point to the new location of the control.
    Items paragraph 3A002.a.6 ``digital instrumentation data recorders 
...'' is amended by revising the description of the scope to read 
``digital data recorders.'' ``Using magnetic disk storage techniques'' 
is deleted because it is replaced by disk or solid-state drive memory 
as modern digital data recorders can use either or both memory storage 
technologies. The sample data rate parameter is deleted and continuous 
throughput is increased to avoid capturing predominantly commercial 
items. The phrase ``sustained continuous throughput'' is added to 
clearly distinguish from ``peak data recording rate.'' Technical Notes 
for continuous throughput rate (previously included under 3A002.a.5) 
are added with the deletion of the term ``mass'' in Technical Note 3. 
These parameters more clearly delineate those products that are of 
military concern.
    Lastly, Items paragraph 3A002.h ``Electronic assemblies, modules or 
equipment that perform analog-to-digital conversions,'' along with 
specific parameters, is added to the List of Items Controlled section 
in order to consolidate where this equipment is controlled and 
distinguish it from the 3A002.a.6 ``digital instrumentation data 
recorder systems'' controls.

3A101 Electronic Equipment, Devices, ``parts,'' and ``components,'' 
Other Than Those Controlled by 3A001

    ECCN 3A101 is amended by replacing the reference to 4A003.e with 
3A002.h, as well as updating the description of equipment in the 
Related Controls paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section.

3A292 Oscilloscopes and Transient Recorders

    ECCN 3A292 is amended by replacing the reference to 3A002.a.5 with 
3A002.h in the Heading, because of the new location of these controls.

3B001 Equipment for the Manufacturing of Semiconductor Devices or 
Materials

    ECCN 3B001 is amended by revising the CIV paragraph in the List 
Based License Exceptions section to remove paragraph .c ``anisotropic 
plasma dry etching equipment'' because WA has agreed to remove and 
reserve this paragraph as a result of a foreign availability 
determination.
    Items paragraph .e.1 ``interfaces for wafer input and output'' in 
the List of Items Controlled section is revised by removing the 
reference to 3B001.c, which is removed by this rule, and by adding 
references to 3B001.a.2 and a.3 to add specificity.
    Technical Note 1 is revised by removing the word ``etch,'' after 
Items paragraph .e.2, because etch equipment is deleted from 3B001.c.
    Items paragraph .f.2 is corrected by adding a Note because the Note 
was inadvertently removed by last year's WA implementation rule.
    Items paragraph .f.3, ``lithography equipment . . . specially 
designed for mask making,'' is revised and Items paragraph .f.4, 
``Equipment designed for device processing using direct writing 
methods,'' is added in the List of Items Controlled section to align 
the feature size metric for all lithography systems.

3D001 Software

    ECCN 3D001 is amended by replacing the reference to 3A002.g with 
3A002.h because 3D001 is supposed to control software specially 
designed for the development or production of equipment controlled by 
3A001.b to new 3A002.h The same revision is made to the National 
Security (NS) control paragraph in the License Requirements table of 
3D001. The eligibility paragraph of License Exception CIV is replaced

[[Page 64659]]

with N/A (Not Applicable), because 3B001.c, which was the only 
paragraph in the eligibility paragraph, is no longer controlled.

3E002 ``Technology'' . . . Other Than That Controlled in 3E001 for the 
``development'' or ``production'' of a ``microprocessor microcircuit,'' 
``micro-computer microcircuit'' and Microcontroller Microcircuit Core . 
. .

    ECCN 3E002 is amended by revising the CIV paragraph in the License 
Exception section to remove the Foreign National Review (FNR) 
Requirement. This removal is necessary to conform the entry with the 
removal of the FNR procedure from the EAR as part of this rule.
    The Technical Note in Items paragraph .a that revises `vector 
processor unit' by adding the phrase ``and vector registers of at least 
32 elements each'' to separate short-vectors from traditional 
supercomputer vectors.
    Items paragraph .c is amended by changing the phrase ``four 16-bit 
fixed-point multiply-accumulate results per cycle'' to ``eight 16-bit 
fixed-point multiply-accumulate results per cycle'' because updating 
the control threshold for Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) is 
consistent with advancements in digital signal processing technology.
    Prior to the publication of this rule, in the Note to paragraph 
3E002.c, the multimedia extension exemption only applied to digital 
signal processors even though it is also used in other processor types, 
such as in x86 processors. Therefore, in this rule, the exemption note 
is extended to apply to all entries under 3E002; specifically, the 
reference to 3E002.c is revised to read 3E002. In addition, this Note 
is enumerated as Note 1 and the existing Notes 1 and 2 are redesignated 
as Notes 2 and 3.

Category 4--Computers

    Note 3 to Category 4, which is a reminder that computers and 
related equipment that perform functions specified in Category 5--Part 
2 should be reviewed against Category 5--Part 2, is removed. This 
reminder appeared in several places throughout the Commerce Control 
List and is now a new note with the General Technology and Software 
Notes in Supplement No. 2 to part 774.

4A001 Electronic Computers and Related Equipment

    ECCN 4A001 is amended by revising the Related Controls paragraph in 
the List of Items Controlled section to remove the reminder to consider 
Category 5--Part 2 if the equipment performs or incorporates 
``information security'' functions as primary functions. WA decided to 
streamline the list by removing the many occurrences of this note and 
having it appear only with the General Technology and Software Notes, 
which in the EAR are located in Supplement No. 2 to part 774.

4A003 ``Digital Computers,'' ``electronic assemblies,'' and Related 
Equipment Therefor

    ECCN 4A003 is amended by removing and reserving 4A003.e ``Equipment 
performing analog-to-digital conversions exceeding the limits in 
3A001.a.5'' and adding a Nota Bene to point to the new location for the 
control in 3A002.h. The License Requirements section is revised by 
removing the Missile Technology control, which only applied to 4A003.e. 
Reference to 4A003.e is removed from the List Based License Exceptions 
section, specifically GBS, APP and CIV, and from Note 1 to Items 
paragraph .c. Reserved paragraphs .d through .f are now codified as a 
range of reserved paragraphs.
    The last listed item, ``Equipment designed for ``signal 
processing,'' in Note 1 (located at the beginning of the Items 
paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section) is removed as a 
conforming change tracking the removal of 4A003.e.
    The ``Adjusted Peak Performance'' (``APP'') for ``digital 
computers'' is raised from 8.0 to 12.5 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT) in Items 
paragraph .b in the List of Items Controlled section. The Congressional 
notification requirement set forth in subsections 1211(d) and (e) of 
the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 1998 (Pub. L. 105-
85, November 18, 1997, 111 Stat. 1932) provides that the President must 
submit a report to Congress 60 days before adjusting the composite 
theoretical performance level above which exports of digital computers 
to Tier 3 countries require a license. The President sent a report to 
Congress on June 1, 2016 that establishes and provides justification 
for the 12.5 WT control level using the APP formula.

4D001 ``Software'' and 4E001 ``technology''

    ECCNs 4D001 and 4E001 are amended by removing NP from the Reason 
for Control paragraph and the sentence related to NP controls directly 
below the License Requirements table in the License Requirements 
section, as these references erroneously suggest that digital computer 
technology or software are controlled by the Nuclear Suppliers Group 
(NSG) for nonproliferation reasons and consequently require a license 
from BIS for Nuclear Proliferation (NP) reasons. Digital computer 
software and technology controls are not controlled by the NSG.
    The TSR paragraph in the List Based License Exceptions section is 
amended by revising the APP from 2.0 to 12.5 WT because of 
technological advances and in line with changes made elsewhere in this 
rule.
    The Special Conditions for STA paragraph is amended by revising the 
APP from 2.0 to 12.5 WT because of technological advances and in line 
with changes made elsewhere in this rule.
    Items paragraph .b.1 in the List of Items Controlled section is 
amended by revising the APP from 1.0 to 6.0 WT and in line with changes 
made elsewhere in this rule.

Category 5--Part 1--``Telecommunications''

    Category 5--Part 1 is amended by removing Nota Bene 2 (N.B.2) at 
the beginning of the Category and moving this Note to the General 
Technology and Software Notes in Supplement No. 2 to part 774.

5A001 Telecommunications Systems, Equipment, ``components'' and 
``accessories''

    ECCN 5A001.d ``electronically steerable phased array antennas'' is 
amended by dividing the operation frequency control parameter into four 
ranges and adding two new parameters ``effective radiated power (ERP)'' 
and ``effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP).'' The purpose of the 
revision is to focus or narrow the scope of control and release from 
control consumer ``WiGig'' products for indoor use. These ``WiGig'' 
products are used as home entertainment alternatives for HDMI cables. 
Electronically steerable phased array antennas (ESAs) are used in 
consumer products operating in the un-licensed ``60 GHz'' band (57-64 
GHz) and operate over short distances (~10 m) in-room. A typical 
installation would allow a laptop computer to send multi-media signals 
across a living room to an HD-TV.

5B001 Telecommunication Test, Inspection and Production Equipment, 
``components'' and ``accessories''

    ECCN 5B001 is amended by removing and reserving Items paragraph 
.b.2.b ``performing optical amplification using Praseodymium Doped 
Fluoride Fiber Amplifiers (PDFFA)'' because PDFFA are not widely used 
in the communications industry due to low efficiency and compatibility 
problems with silica optical fiber-based communications systems. This 
rule also revises Item paragraph .b.4 by raising

[[Page 64660]]

the level for ``radio equipment employing Quadrature-Amplitude-
Modulation (QAM) techniques'' from 256 to 1,024 on the basis of 
technological advances in QAM techniques.

5D001 ``Software''

    ECCN 5D001 is amended by revising Items paragraph .d.4 by raising 
the level for radio equipment employing Quadrature-Amplitude-Modulation 
(QAM) techniques'' from 256 to 1,024 because of technological advances 
in QAM techniques.

5E001 ``Technology''

    ECCN 5E001 is amended by removing Items paragraph .c.2.b 
``performing optical amplification using Praseodymium Doped Fluoride 
Fiber Amplifiers (PDFFA)'' because PDFFA are not widely used in the 
communications industry due to low efficiency and compatibility 
problems with silica optical fiber-based communications systems. The 
Note to Items paragraph .c.2.c is amended by removing the phrase 
``specially designed'' because the definition of ``specially designed'' 
does not apply to technology and this removal harmonizes the CCL with 
the WA List. This rule also revises Items paragraph .c.4.a by raising 
the level for radio equipment employing Quadrature-Amplitude-Modulation 
(QAM) techniques'' from 256 to 1,024 on the basis of technological 
advances in QAM techniques.

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

    Category 5--Part 2 is amended by removing and reserving Note 1 and 
moving the control status Note to the General Technology and Software 
Notes in Supplement No. 2 to part 774. BIS is making editorial 
revisions to the phrase ``Category 5, part 2'' in Notes 2 and 4 by 
changing it read ``Category 5--Part 2.'' In addition, Note 2 is revised 
by changing the phrase ``encryption products'' to read ``information 
security'' to make the words consistent with the section heading. The 
introductory text to Note 3 and the Technical Note to paragraph .b.4 of 
Note 3 are revised to reference two newly added ECCNs: 5A003 and 5A004. 
Paragraph 1.b in the Note to the Cryptography Note is amended by adding 
a sentence to the end to clarify that a simple price enquiry is not 
considered to be a consultation. An undesignated section title is added 
under the Product Group A title to read ``Cryptographic ``information 
security.'' ''

5A002 ``Information security'' Systems, Equipment and ``components''

    ECCN 5A002 is amended by revising the Heading to remove the word 
``therefor.'' Related Controls paragraph 2 is removed to correspond 
with the revision of ECCNs 5A992 and 5D992 and a new paragraph 2 is 
added to alert exporters to a related United States Munitions List 
(USML) control for 5A002.d and .e, and Note 3 paragraph is revised to 
harmonize with changes in this rule. The Items paragraph of 5A002 is 
restructured, including by moving some of the items to newly added 
ECCNs. The EI control is moved to the License Requirements Table and is 
revised to replace the referenced paragraphs ``.a.1, .a.2, .a.5, .a.6 
and .a.9'' with ``entire entry.'' The Note in the beginning of the 
Items paragraph is moved to the end of Items paragraph .a and amended 
to only pertain to Items paragraph .a.
    5A002.a is amended by adding the word ``cryptographic'' before the 
term ``information security'' to better describe the scope of Items 
paragraph .a. The Technical Note to 5A002.a is amended by adding the 
phrase ``In Category 5--Part 2'' to clarify the scope of the Technical 
Note. Items paragraph .a.2 ``designed or modified to perform 
`cryptanalytic functions''' is removed and reserved because this 
control is now located in 5A004.a. A Nota Bene is added to point to the 
new location of this control. Reserved Items paragraph .a.3 is removed.
    The 5A002 exclusion Note is amended by revising ``5A002'' to read 
``5A002.a'' in the introductory text. The sentence stating, ``However, 
these items are instead controlled under 5A992.'' is removed from the 
introductory text of the Note. 5A992.a and .b are removed by this rule; 
therefore, items meeting the exclusion Note are now designated EAR99. 
The reference to new ECCNs 5A003 and 5A004 is added to paragraph 
(a)(1)(a) of the Technical Note. Many of the paragraphs in this Note 
are moved. See below for a guide to the reordering of the paragraphs. 
Paragraph (b) (former paragraph (d)) of the Technical Note is amended 
by removing ``The term'' and clarified by adding ``in 5A002 Note b.'' 
Paragraph (g) (former paragraph (j)) introductory text is amended by 
removing all the references to paragraphs in 5A002. Paragraph (h) 
(former paragraph (k)), is revised by correcting the format of the 
reference to Category 5--Part 2. Paragraph (j)(2)(a) (former paragraph 
(m)(2)(a)), is amended by replacing the word ``to'' with ``in.''
    The following is a guide to the movement of the paragraphs within 
the exclusion Note:
(b), which was ``reserved,'' is now former paragraph (d)
(c), which was ``reserved,'' is former paragraph (e)
(d) is former paragraph (f)
(e) is former paragraph (g)
(f) is former paragraph (i)
(g) is former paragraph (j)
(h) which was ``reserved'' is former paragraph (k)
(i) is former paragraph (l)
(j) is former paragraph (m)
(k), (l) and (m) are removed.

    Items paragraphs of ECCN 5A002.a.4, .a.5, .a.6, .a.8 and .a.9 are 
moved to the following new locations:

.a.4--5A003.b
.a.5--5A002.e
.a.6--5A002.d
.a.8--5A003.a
.a.9--5A002.c
    Items paragraph .a.7, ``Non-cryptographic information and 
communications technology (ICT) security systems and devices that have 
been evaluated and certified by a national authority to exceed class 
EAL-6 (evaluation assurance level) of the Common Criteria (CC) or 
equivalent,'' is removed because it is an obsolete certification.
    Items paragraph .b is revised by removing the phrase ``systems, 
equipment and components,'' because the Header already states what is 
included in the scope of the control.
    Category 5--Part 2 is amended by adding an undesignated title 
``non-cryptographic information security'' before newly added ECCN 
5A003.

5A003 ``Systems,'' ``equipment,'' and ``components,'' for non-
cryptographic ``information security,''

    ECCN 5A003 is added to control items formerly classified as 
5A002.a.8 in 5A003.a and formerly classified as 5A002.a.4 in 5A003.b. 
The same license requirements and license exceptions that applied to 
those paragraphs are added to 5A003.
    Category 5--Part 2 is amended by adding an undesignated title 
``defeating, weakening or bypassing information security'' before the 
newly added ECCN 5A004.

5A004 ``Systems,'' ``equipment,'' and ``components'' for Defeating, 
Weakening or Bypassing ``information security''

    ECCN 5A004 is added to control items formerly classified as 
5A002.a.2 with no change to the license requirements and license 
exceptions that formerly applied.

[[Page 64661]]

5B002 ``Information Security'' test, inspection, and ``production'' 
Equipment

    ECCN 5B002 is amended by adding references to ECCNs 5A003 and 5A004 
in Items paragraphs .a and .b.

5D002 ``Software''

    ECCN 5D002 is amended by moving the EI controls from the License 
Requirements Note to the License Requirement table in the License 
Requirements section. The Related Controls paragraph 1 is removed to 
correspond with the removal of paragraphs in ECCN 5A992 and 5D992, and 
paragraph 2 is revised to harmonize with other changes to encryption in 
this rule. The Note relating to publicly available encryption software 
is removed because this rule makes publicly available encryption source 
code not subject to the EAR after the notification requirement of Sec.  
742.15(b) has been fulfilled, as well as the corresponding publicly 
available encryption object code software. The EI controls are also 
revised by adding new ECCN 5A004. Items paragraphs .a and .c.1 are 
amended by adding new ECCNs 5A003 and 5A004.

5E002 ``Technology''

    ECCN 5E002 is amended by moving EI controls into the License 
Requirements table in the License Requirements section. Additionally, 
new ECCN 5A004 is added to the EI controls and to Note 2 in the License 
Requirements Notes in the License Requirements section. Items paragraph 
.a in the List of Items Controlled section is revised by adding new 
ECCNs 5A003 and 5A004.

Other EAR Revisions Corresponding to the Category 5--Part 2 
Restructuring

    ECCN 5A004 is added to License Exception GOV in Sec.  
740.11(a)(2)(iii) and (c)(3)(iii) to maintain the license exception 
restriction for items that have moved from ECCN 5A002 to ECCN 5A004. 
Despite the movement of ECCN 5A002 items to ECCN 5A003, ECCN 5A003 is 
not added because it contains items that are no longer controlled for 
EI reasons.
    The Entity List, Supplement No. 4 to part 744, is amended by 
replacing the reference ``5D002 or 5A002.'' with ``5A002, 5A004 or 
5D002.'' in the third column ``License Requirement,'' in the entry 
``Corporacion Nacional de Telecommunicaciones (CNT) . . .'' under 
Ecuador.

Category 6--Sensors and Lasers

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

    ECCN 6A001 is amended by replacing ``positioning accuracy'' with 
``determined position error'' in Items paragraphs .a.1.d.2 and .a.1.e.2 
in the List of Items Controlled section because this term better 
conveys the identified performance parameter of this equipment. Double 
quotes are added around the term ``accuracy'' in Items paragraphs 
.a.2.d.1, .b.1.b, and .b.2 in the List of Items Controlled section to 
indicate that this is a term defined in Part 772 of the EAR. This rule 
makes an editorial correction by replacing double quotes that were 
inadvertently removed around the term ``components'' in the Heading, 
introductory text of Items paragraphs a, a.1, a.1.d, a.2 and the Note 
to 6A001.a.2 in the List of Items Controlled section.

6A002 Optical sensors and equipment, and ``components'' Therefor

    ECCN 6A002 is amended by adding paragraph .d ``Thermopile arrays 
having less than 5,130 elements'' to exclusion Note 2 to 6A002.a.3 in 
the Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section. BIS is 
making this change because applying the definition of 'microbolometer 
arrays' in 6A002.a.3.f to thermopile arrays leads to the control of 
such devices; however, thermopile arrays would never reach the 
performance of microbolometer arrays.

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

    ECCN 6A003 is amended by removing paragraph (3) of the Related 
Controls paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section because the 
referenced paragraphs, 8A002.d.1 and .e, are removed by this rule. 
Related Controls paragraphs (4) and (5) are redesignated as (3) and 
(4).

6A004 Optical Equipment and ``components''

    ECCN 6A004 is amended by adding an exclusion Note to Items 
paragraph .a.3 in the List of Items Controlled section for mirrors 
``specially designed'' to direct solar radiation for terrestrial 
heliostat installations. Items paragraphs .d.2.a.3 and .d.2.b are 
revised by adding the word ``(better)'' after the word less for 
consistency and clarity, so people will understand that any measurement 
that is less than the specified parameter means the item is performing 
at better than the control level.

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

    The Technical Note that follows Note 2 to 6A005.a.6.b in the Items 
paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section is amended by 
replacing the reference ``Note 2.a'' with ``Note 2 a.2'' to correct the 
reference. Items paragraphs .a.6.a.2 and .b.6.b.2 in the List of Items 
Controlled section are amended by raising the ``average output power'' 
from ``10'' to ``30'' W and ``10'' to ``50'' W. The main parameter of 
interest for industrial pulsed lasers is ``average output power.'' A 
higher average output power has a positive impact on productivity (due 
to higher repetition rates). For that reason, and in light of the 
technological progress in the field of industrial Laser Materials 
Processing (LMP) equipment, the average power is increased while the 
parameters ``pulse energy'' and ``peak power'' (which have a higher 
relevance for applications of concern) remain unchanged.
    The Note to 6A005.c.1 is moved below Items paragraph 6A005.c.1.b.
    An exclusion Note is added to Items paragraphs 6A005.d.1.d.1.d and 
6A005.d.1.d.2.d to exclude epitaxially-fabricated monolithic devices.
    Double quotes are added around the term ``laser'' in Items 
paragraphs .e.3, .e.3.c.1, .e.3.c.2, .g.1, .g.2, .g.3 and the Technical 
Note at the end of the Items paragraph to indicate that this is a term 
defined in Part 772 of the EAR.
    Double quotes are added around the term ``accuracy'' in Items 
paragraph f.3 to indicate that this is a term defined in Part 772 of 
the EAR.

6A007 Gravity Meters (gravimeters) and Gravity Gradiometers

    ECCN 6A007 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``accuracy,'' in three places (Items paragraphs .a, .b.1 and .b.2 in 
the List of Items Controlled section) to indicate that this is a term 
defined in Part 772 of the EAR.

6A008 Radar Systems, Equipment and Assemblies

    ECCN 6A008 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``accuracy'' in Items paragraph .a.2, adding double quotes around the 
term ``lasers'' in Items paragraph. j.3, and adding double quotes 
around the term ``aircraft'' in Note 2 of the Technical Notes at the 
end of the Items paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section. 
These quotes are added to indicate that the terms are defined in Part 
772 of the EAR.

[[Page 64662]]

6B004 Optical Equipment

    ECCN 6B004 is amended by revising Items paragraph 6B004.a to 
replace the symbol ``'' that precedes 0.1% with the phrase 
``equal to or better than'' to clarify that entry.

6B007 Equipment To Produce, Align, and Calibrate Land Based Gravity 
Meters With a Static ``accuracy'' of Better Than 0.1 mGal.

    ECCN 6B007 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``accuracy'' in the Heading to indicate that this is a term defined in 
Part 772 of the EAR.

6C005 ``Laser'' Materials

    ECCN 6C005 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``laser'' in Items paragraphs b.1 and b.2 in the List of Items 
Controlled section to indicate that this is a term defined in Part 772 
of the EAR.

6E003 Other ``technology''

    ECCN 6E003 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``accuracies'' in Items paragraph .d to indicate that the singular form 
of ``accuracy'' is a term defined in Part 772 of the EAR and revising 
the Items paragraph by moving all the topic headings out from the 
subparagraphs and reserving subparagraphs that do not have parameters 
at this time.

Category 7--Navigation and Avionics

7A003 `Inertial measurement equipment or systems'

    ECCN 7A003 is amended by removing the second paragraph in the 
Technical Note at the beginning of the Items paragraph of the List of 
Items Controlled section. Double quotes are added around the term 
``accuracies'' in Items paragraph .a; and double quotes are added 
around the term ``accuracy'' in Items paragraphs .b, .c.1, and .c.2 in 
the List of Items Controlled section to indicate that ``accuracy'' is a 
term defined in Part 772 of the EAR. Single quotes are replaced by 
double quotes around the term Circular Error Probable in the Items 
paragraph .a.1 and around the term's acronym CEP in Items paragraphs 
.a.1, .a.2, .a.3, and .b in the List of Items Controlled section 
because this term and its acronym are added to the definitions in Sec.  
772.1 of the EAR as part of this rule.

7A004 `Star trackers' and ``components'' Therefor

    ECCN 7A004 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``accuracy'' in the Items paragraph .a in the List of Items Controlled 
section to indicate that this is a term defined in Part 772 of the EAR.

7A008 Underwater Sonar Navigation Systems

    ECCN 7A008 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``accuracy'' in the Heading to indicate that this is a term defined in 
Part 772 of the EAR.

7B001 Test, Calibration, or Alignment Equipment

    ECCN 7B001 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``aircraft'' in paragraph (1) of the Related Definitions paragraph in 
the List of Items Controlled section to indicate that this is a term 
defined in Part 772 of the EAR.

7B002 Equipment ``specially designed'' To Characterize Mirrors for Ring 
``laser'' Gyros

    ECCN 7B002 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``accuracy'' in Items paragraphs .a and .b of the List of Items 
Controlled section because it is a defined term.

7E004 Other ``technology''

    ECCN 7E004 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``accuracy'' in Items paragraph .a.7 and adding double quotes around 
the term ``aircraft'' in the Items paragraphs .b.1, .b.7.b.4, .b.8.a 
and .b.8.b to indicate that these terms are defined in Part 772 of the 
EAR. The word ``directional'' is replaced by ``direction'' in the Items 
paragraph .c.2 of the List of Items Controlled section for clarity and 
consistent with the term ``circulation-controlled direction control 
systems,'' as defined in Part 772 of the EAR.

Category 8--Marine

8A001 Submersible Vehicles and Surface Vessels

    ECCN 8A001 is amended by revising the Related Controls paragraph in 
the List of Items Controlled section by removing reference to Category 
5--Part 2 because the applicability of Category 5--Part 2 to other 
categories is stated in a new Note in the General Technology and 
Software Notes in Supplement No. 2 to part 774. Double quotes are added 
around the term ``accuracy'' in Items paragraph .e.2 of the List of 
Items Controlled section to indicate that this is a term defined in 
Part 772 of the EAR.

8A002 Marine Systems, Equipment, ``parts'' and ``components''

    ECCN 8A002 is amended by removing reference to 8A002.e.2 from the 
GBS and CIV eligibility paragraphs in the List Based License Exception 
section because 8A002.e is removed and reserved. Items paragraph .d 
``underwater vision systems'' is revised by removing equipment 
specified in d.1 but no longer in use and redesignating d.2 as .d. 
Items paragraph .e ``photographic still cameras ``specially designed'' 
or modified for underwater use below 150 m . . .'' in the List of Items 
Controlled section is removed and reserved because modern digital 
photographic equipment and separate underwater housings have replaced 
underwater film format cameras.

Category 9--Aerospace and Propulsion

9A001 Aero Gas Turbine Engines

    ECCN 9A001 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``aircraft'' in paragraph b. of Note 1 to Items 9A001.a and in Items 
paragraph .b in the List of Items Controlled section to indicate that 
this is a term defined in Part 772 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 replacing the reference to ``5A002.a.5, 
5A002.a.9'' with ``5A002.c, 5A002.e'' in Items paragraph .d in the List 
of Items Controlled section to reflect the revisions this rule makes to 
ECCN 5A002.

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

    ECCN 9A012 is amended by removing the exclusion Note for model 
aircraft or model ``airships'' at the end of the Items paragraph in the 
List of Items Controlled section because these commodities are not 
within the scope of ECCN 9A012.

9B001 Equipment, Tooling or Fixtures, ``specially designed'' for 
Manufacturing Gas Turbine engine blades, vanes or ``tip shrouds''

    ECCN 9B001 is amended by revising Items paragraph .b in the List of 
Items Controlled section to include combined cores and shells (moulds) 
because it is now possible, through the use of Additive Manufacturing, 
to produce a single shell (mould) containing a core in position.

9E003 Other ``technology''

    ECCN 9E003 is amended by adding double quotes around the term 
``aircraft'' in the following five places: Two places in Related 
Controls paragraph (2) in the List of Items Controlled section; in the 
Note to

[[Page 64663]]

9E003.h in the List of Items Controlled section; in Items paragraph .j; 
and in the Nota Bene that follows 9E003.j in the List of Items 
Controlled section. These double quotes are added to indicate that this 
is a term defined in Part 772 of the EAR.

Part 748--Applications

    Supplement No. 7 to part 748 ``Validated End User'' list is amended 
by removing the reference to 3B001.c in eight Chinese entities, because 
this paragraph of ECCN 3B001 is removed by this rule.
    Other changes to part 748 are described in two separate paragraphs 
below in relation to encryption updates and the removal of the foreign 
national review requirement.

Section 774.1 Introduction

    An explanation about the use of Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 
numbers in the Commerce Control List is added in new paragraph (e). 
This explanation comes from Note 2 of the Wassenaar Arrangement's 
Munitions List. The information is helpful for exporters when trying to 
classify chemicals on the CCL.

Supplement No. 2 to Part 774 ``General Technology and Software Notes''

    Supplement No. 2 to part 774 ``General Technology and Software 
Notes'' is amended by adding paragraph 3 ``General ``Information 
Security'' Note'' (GISN) to alert the public to consider Category 5--
Part 2 when classifying information security items or items with 
information security functions.

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

    Supplement No. 6 to part 774 ``Sensitive List'' is amended by 
revising paragraphs (2)(i) ``2D001,'' (2)(ii) ``2E001,'' (2)(iii) 
``2E002,'' (4)(ii) ``4D001,''and (4)(iii) ``4E001'' to match the 
revisions made to corresponding ECCNs by this rule. These changes will 
affect Wassenaar reporting requirements found in Sec.  743.1.

Part 770--Item Interpretations

    Section 770.2 is amended by making editorial revisions to paragraph 
(l)(1), (l)(2) and (m) to align ECCN references to revisions made by 
this rule.

Part 772 Terms and Definitions (Related to WA agreements)

    Section 772.1 is amended by adding more categories to those 
associated with the terms ``accuracy'' and ``airship.'' The term 
``Circular Error Probable'' and its acronym ``CEP'' are added to the 
definitions in Sec.  772.1 because the term and its acronym are used 
more broadly than in one ECCN or subparagraph. The definition of 
``cryptography'' is revised by moving the definition of ``fixed'' to 
the Technical Notes of this term. The term ``FADEC'' is revised by 
adding the word ``systems,'' thus changing the term to ``FADEC 
systems.'' Other revisions to Part 772 that are not related to WA 
agreements are described later in this Supplementary Information.
    The term ``frequency switching time'' is revised to retain the 
relative value but tighten the tolerance from  0.05% to 
 0.1 part per million to account for challenges in making 
measurements using the wide tolerance of  0.05%. The 
revision also applies an absolute value for frequencies below 1 GHz, 
because the 0.1 parts per million metric necessitates the difficult 
task of resolving very small frequency differences at low frequencies.
    Category 7 is removed from the list of categories where ``Full 
Authority Digital Engine Control Systems'' is used.
    The category references for the term ``information security'' are 
revised by removing Cat 4, 5P1 and 8, and adding a reference to the 
newly added General ``Information Security'' Note (GISN).
    The term ``laser'' is revised to more closely link the 
amplification process with the observed coherencies in laser output.
    The term ``lighter-than-air vehicles'' is added to Sec.  772.1 
because of its use in ECCNs 2B352, 9A120, and 9A610.
    The term ``optical amplification'' is removed consistent with its 
removal from 5A991.b.5.e, 5B001.b.2.b, and 5E001.c.2.b, due to the 
term's association with a method of communication that is no longer in 
use.
    The terms ``propellants'' and ``pyrotechnic(s)'' are added to Sec.  
772.1 because they are used frequently in the EAR (propellants in 
1C608.a and .n and pyrotechnic(s) in ECCN 1C608.j and .n).
    The term ``source code'' is revised by adding Category 1 and 
Category 5--Part 2 to the categories where this term is used.
    This rule removes the term ``system tracks'' because it is not used 
in the EAR.

Part II--Information Security Update and Simplification

    In conjunction with the restructuring of Category 5--Part 2 of the 
CCL that was agreed upon by WA, BIS is updating and streamlining 
information security sections and policies within the EAR. Below is a 
summary of these updates.
    Revised ECCNs (4): 5E002 (Related Controls), 5A992, 5D992 and 
5E992.

Part 730--General Information

    Supplement No. 1 to part 730 is amended by removing the reference 
to 740.13(e) for paperwork collection 0694-137 ``License exemptions and 
exclusions.''

Part 734--Scope of the EAR

    The Note to Sec.  734.3(a)(4) is amended by removing the reference 
to Sec.  740.17(b)(4)(ii), which is deleted by this rule, and replacing 
the reference ``section 740.17(a)'' with the reference ``Sec.  
740.17(a)(4),'' which refers to foreign products developed with or 
incorporating U.S.-origin encryption source code components or 
toolkits.
    Section 734.3, the Note to paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) is amended 
by revising the citation ``Sec.  740.13(e)'' to read ``Sec.  
742.15(b).'' This change is necessary because this rule moves the 
provision in Sec.  740.13(e) to Sec.  742.15(b) and then removes and 
reserves Sec.  740.13(e).
    Section 734.4 is amended by revising paragraph (b), which set forth 
special requirements for certain encryption items, to harmonize with 
other changes made to encryption items throughout this rule.
    Section 734.7, paragraph (b), is amended by revising the citation 
``Sec.  740.13(e)'' to ``Sec.  742.15(b).'' This change is necessary 
because this rule moves the provision in Sec.  740.13(e) to Sec.  
742.15(b) and removes and reserves Sec.  740.13(e).
    Section 734.17, paragraph (b)(2) is amended by revising the last 
two sentences. This change is necessary because this rule moves the 
provision in Sec.  740.13(e) to Sec.  742.15(b) and removes and 
reserves Sec.  740.13(e). In addition, encryption object code 
``software'' that corresponds to encryption source code ``software'' 
meeting the notification requirement of Sec.  742.15(b) is now publicly 
available, whereas before this rule it was eligible for License 
Exception TSU.

Part 740--License Exceptions

    Section 740.13(e) is deleted because this notification requirement 
is moved to newly revised Sec.  742.15(b).
    The introductory paragraph of Sec.  740.17 is amended to update the 
ECCNs that are eligible for License Exception ENC consistent with the 
implementation of the WA agreement to restructure Category 5--Part 2. 
There is no substantive change to eligible items.
    The introductory paragraphs of both Sec. Sec.  742.15(a)(1) and 
740.17 are revised to state that certain items classified in Category 
5--Part 2 of the Commerce Control List and described in License 
Exception ENC that meet the criteria of

[[Page 64664]]

Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2--i.e., are mass market encryption items--
are classified under ECCNs 5A992.c and 5D992.c and are no longer 
subject to ``EI'' or ``NS'' controls. The mass market provisions were 
previously set forth in Sec.  742.15(b), but in this rule are 
consolidated into Sec.  740.17 to delete duplicative text. Country 
Group E:2 is added to the introductory paragraph in two places, as well 
as Sec.  740.17(b)(2)(iv)(B), to correct an oversight in not adding E:2 
when Cuba was added to Country Group E:2.
    New Sec.  740.17(a)(1)(ii) is added to authorize exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) among related parties for 
internal use when the parent company is headquartered in a Supplement 
No. 3 to part 740 country (License Exception ENC Favorable Treatment 
Countries). No classification or reporting is required for such 
exports, reexports or transfers (in-country).
    New Sec.  740.17(a)(3) is added to authorize reexports of foreign-
made products developed with or incorporating U.S. encryption source 
code, components or toolkits without classification by or reporting to 
BIS provided that the U.S.-origin encryption items have previously been 
classified or reported and authorized by BIS and the cryptographic 
function has not changed. This provision is moved from Sec.  
740.17(b)(4)(ii) to place all authorizations under License Exception 
ENC that do not require classification or self-classification in one 
paragraph.
    Section 740.17(b) is amended to delete the requirement for an 
encryption registration. The encryption registration requirement, added 
to the Export Administration Regulations in 2010, is being deleted to 
create a more streamlined and efficient reporting processes. 
Accordingly, references to the encryption registration requirement are 
removed throughout the EAR (e.g., parts 738 and 748). Exporters who 
self-classify encryption products under Sec.  740.17(b)(1) will 
continue to be required to submit a self-classification report on an 
annual basis. The requirements for the self-classification report are 
moved to Sec.  740.17(e)(3) from Sec.  742.15(c). In addition, Sec.  
740.17(b) is amended to provide that if an exporter obtains a Commodity 
Classification request (CCATS) classification from BIS for a product 
that is eligible for self-classification, the product does not need to 
be included in the annual self-classification report. BIS will make 
CCATS for products described in Sec.  740.17(b)(1) available to the ENC 
Encryption Request Coordinator through the SNAP-R system.
    Section 740.17(b)(2) is amended to update the performance 
parameters of ``network infrastructure'' items. In paragraph 
(b)(2)(A)(1), the performance parameter for aggregate encrypted WAN, 
MAN, VPN, backhaul or long-haul throughput (including communications 
through wireless network elements such as gateways, mobile switches, 
and controllers) is updated from greater than 90 Mbps to equal to or 
greater than 250 Mbps. Paragraph (b)(2)(i)(A)(2), which set forth a 
performance parameter for wire (line), cable or fiber optic WAN, MAN or 
VPN single channel input data rate exceeding 154 Mbps is deleted, as 
this parameter is redundant in light of the aggregate encrypted 
throughput parameter in paragraph (b)(2)(A)(1). For media gateways and 
other unified communications (UC) infrastructure, including Voice-over-
Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, the media encryption encrypted 
signaling is raised from more than 1,000 to 2,500 endpoints in 
paragraph (b)(2)(i)(A)(4).
    Section 740.17(b)(2) is also amended to authorize exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) of ``network infrastructure'' 
items to ``less sensitive government end users'' in all countries 
except Country Group E:1 and E:2 countries. A definition of ``less 
sensitive government end users'' is added to part 772. BIS has issued 
many so-called ``worldwide'' encryption licensing arrangements (ELAs) 
with this scope and a semi-annual reporting requirement. Because there 
is no country scope difference between the ELAs and the License 
Exception ENC authorization to non-``government end users,'' BIS is 
making such exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) eligible for 
License Exception ENC.
    This rule also adds a Note to paragraph (b)(2)(i)(A) to add a carve 
out for certain types of satellite infrastructure and to define 
`network infrastructure.' The satellite carve out was necessary because 
paragraph (b)(2), which precludes mass market treatment, was catching 
these consumer goods. The definition for `network infrastructure' is 
needed to clarify the scope of the license exception.
    This rule adds new paragraph (b)(2)(i)(H) for items in 5A002.d or 
.e and equivalent or related software therefor classified under 5D002. 
Such commodities and software were eligible for (b)(1) and (b)(3), but 
are now moved to (b)(2) because BIS determined that they warrant a 
higher level of control. BIS does not anticipate an increase in license 
applications because historically BIS has not received license 
applications for such items.
    Section 740.17(b)(4) is deleted because it is no longer needed. 
Section 740.17(b)(4)(i) described products with short range wireless 
encryption functions, most of which have been decontrolled pursuant to 
the decontrol notes in ECCN 5A002 on the Commerce Control List or 
pursuant to Note 4 to Category 5--Part 2 of the Commerce Control List. 
Section 740.17(b)(4)(ii) is moved to Sec.  740.17(a)(4) (see 
explanation above for paragraph (a)(4)).
    Section 740.17(f), ``Grandfathering,'' is deleted as it is no 
longer necessary.
    Supplement No. 3 to Part 740 is amended to add Croatia because it 
is a member of the European Union. This revised list harmonizes with 
the European Union's list of countries that do not require a license 
for encryption items.

Part 742--CCL Based Controls

    The introductory paragraph of Sec.  742.15(a) is amended to update 
the ECCNs that are controlled for EI reasons consistent with the 
implementation of the WA agreement to restructure Category 5--Part 2. 
There is no substantive change to eligible items. Country Group E:2 is 
added to Sec.  742.15(a)(2) to correct an oversight in not adding it 
when Cuba was added to Country Group E:2. Section 742.15(a) is also 
amended to state that mass market encryption products are now released 
from Encryption Item (EI) and National Security (NS) controls pursuant 
to Sec.  740.17, not Sec.  742.15(b), and to clarify that encryption 
license arrangements are available for exports to all ``government end 
users'' in most countries, including military end users, now that there 
is a defined subset of government end users (i.e., less sensitive 
government end users). The mass market provisions are deleted in Sec.  
742.15(b) and added (moved) to Sec.  740.17(b) in order to consolidate 
these provisions in one place. In addition, the classification 
requirements for mass market encryption products are moved to Sec.  
740.17(b). New Sec.  742.15(b) sets forth the notification requirement 
when encryption source code is made publicly available. The 
notification requirement is the same as previously set forth in Sec.  
740.13(e).
    Sections 742.15(c) (Self-classification reporting) and 742.15(f) 
(Grandfathering) are deleted. The self-classification reporting 
provisions formerly in Sec.  742.15(c) have been moved to Sec.  
740.17(e)(3) in order to consolidate all the mass-market provisions 
into Sec.  740.17. The encryption registration requirement previously 
set forth in Sec. Sec.  740.17(b) and 742.15(b) is deleted.

[[Page 64665]]

The grandfathering provisions are no longer necessary.
    Supplement No. 5 to part 742 is deleted because the encryption 
registration requirement previously set forth in Sec. Sec.  740.17(b) 
and 742.15(b) is deleted.
    Supplement No. 6 to part 742 ``Technical Questionnaire . . .'' is 
amended by revising the title of the supplement to include ``other 
``information security'' items,'' as well as revising the titles to 
paragraphs (a) and (b). Most of the revisions to this supplement are to 
clarify the information that must be provided in a classification 
request for encryption or ``information security'' items. This rule 
removes reference to the encryption registration in paragraphs (a)(2) 
and (d)(1) because this rule removes the requirement for encryption 
registration. Paragraph (b)(3) is revised for clarity. Paragraph (b)(7) 
is the former (b)(10). Paragraphs (b)(2), (b)(3), and (b)(9) are 
revised to clarify the information request. Paragraph (b)(10) is now 
question (7) from the deleted Supplement No. 5 to part 742. Paragraph 
(b)(11) has been updated to correspond more closely with Sec.  
740.17(b)(2). Paragraph (b)(12) is redesignated as (b)(13) and a new 
paragraph (b)(12) is added, which addresses information related to 
Sec.  740.17(b)(3). This rule adds paragraph (b)(14) to address 
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) capabilities in products.
    Supplement No. 8 to part 742 is amended by revising the 
introductory paragraph, introductory text to paragraph (a), and 
paragraphs (a)(6) and (c)(1) to remove references to the deleted 
encryption registration requirement and to harmonize citation 
references to track amendments in this rule. The list of products in 
paragraph (a)(6) is revised to more accurately describe the types of 
products being reported. Paragraphs (a)(7) through (12) are added to 
include fields that remain necessary now that Supplement No. 5 is 
deleted. Paragraph (b)(2) and (b)(3) are revised to add six additional 
fields to identify the company or person submitting the report, its 
address, email, point of contact, telephone number, non-U.S. components 
and non-U.S. manufacturing locations, and bringing the total number of 
fields to twelve. Paragraph (c)(4) is added to note that only products 
self-classified by the exporter should be reported.

Part 748--Application

    This rule removes reference to the encryption registration and 
procedures, and aligns citation and ECCN references with revisions in 
this rule in Sec.  748.1(a) and (d), Sec.  748.3 title, paragraph (a), 
paragraph (d) title and paragraph, Sec.  748.7(a) and (d), Sec.  748.8 
(r), Sec.  748.9(c)(1)(viii), Supplement No. 1 to part 748 Block 5 
paragraph, Supplement No. 2 paragraph (r), and Supplement No. 7 
``Validated End User'' list.
    Other changes to Part 748 that relate to the removal of the foreign 
national review submission are described further down in this 
Supplementary Information section. One change to Supp. No. 6 to part 
748 is described above in relation to a WA agreement.

Part 772--Terms and Definitions

    In addition to the revisions to Part 772 related to WA agreements, 
this rule amends Part 772 in light of information security updates and 
simplification. Part 772 is amended to add definitions of ``less 
sensitive government end users'' (as applied to encryption items) and 
``more sensitive government end users'' (as applied to encryption 
items). BIS had been using these lists of less and more sensitive 
government end users for purposes of post-shipment reporting and pre-
shipment notification requirements in encryption licensing arrangements 
(ELAs); however, they were not published in the EAR. These definitions 
will be used in Sec.  742.15(a)(2) license review policy for Encryption 
License Arrangements (ELAs) and in Sec.  740.17(b)(2)(i) for a specific 
License Exception ENC authorization.
    In Sec.  772.1 of the EAR, this rule revises the definition of 
``publicly available encryption software'' to provide the updated 
reference of Sec.  742.15(b) for notification requirements, instead of 
Sec.  740.13(e) of the EAR.

Category 5--Part 2

    The Nota Bene to Note 3 (Cryptography Note) is amended to remove 
the reference to the encryption registration requirement and to add 
reference to the self-classification report because the information 
that was previously needed for the encryption registration will be 
obtained from the self-classification report.

5D002 ``Information Security'' ``software''

    This rule makes editorial revisions to the license requirements for 
this ECCN.

5E002 ``Information Security'' ``technology''

    This rule makes editorial revisions to the license requirements for 
this ECCN. The last sentence of the Related Controls note is deleted. 
Technology related to equipment excluded from control under ECCN 5A002 
is not necessarily controlled under ECCN 5E992.

5A992 Equipment Not Controlled by 5A002

    Paragraphs 5A992.a and .b are deleted because information security, 
telecommunication, and information security equipment, whether or not 
containing encryption, and components therefor will now either be 
controlled in the higher level Category 5--Part 2 ECCNs or not at all 
(i.e., EAR99). The only items still described in ECCN 5A992 are mass 
market encryption items in paragraph 5A992.c.

5D992 ``Information security'' ``software'' Not Controlled by 5D002

    Paragraphs 5D992.a and .b are deleted. The only items still 
described in ECCN 5D992 are mass market encryption items in 5D992.c. 
See explanation for 5A992 above. Some items previously classified as 
5D992.a or .b may now be classified as 4D993. You may submit a 
classification request to BIS for a free official classification or 
self-classify as appropriate.

5E992 ``Information Security'' ``technology''

    ECCN 5E992 is amended by removing and reserving Items paragraph .a, 
which is a consequential change because of the removal of 5A992.a and 
.b and 5D992.a and .b.
    A separate companion rule also published today is revising the 
license requirements of twelve entities on the Entity List to ``all 
items subject to the EAR'' in order to narrow the license requirement 
differences between EAR99 and 5A992.a and .b.
    The entry for ``Shanghai Huahong Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing 
Corporation'' on the VEU list is amended by revising the eligible 
items, because some of the items from 5A002 are now in new ECCN 5A004. 
Therefore, ECCN 5A004 is added to the list of eligible items for this 
entry.

Part III--High Performance Computer Adjusted Peak Performance (APP) 
Related Changes

    In conjunction with the raising of APP numbers in Category 4 by WA 
agreements, BIS is updating License Exception APP.

Section 740.7 License Exception APP

    In addition to the revisions connected with the removal of the 
Foreign National Review procedures, License Exception APP is amended by 
replacing the list of twenty-two (22) countries in paragraph (c)(3)(i) 
that are eligible to receive technology and software for

[[Page 64666]]

computers of unlimited Adjusted Peak Performance (APP) under License 
Exception APP with the list of thirty-six (36) countries in Country 
Group A:5 in Supplement No. 1 to part 740 because these countries are 
considered most trusted allies with like-minded export controls. This 
adds 14 Computer Tier 1 countries (Argentina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech 
Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, S. Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, 
Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia) to the list of countries 
eligible to receive technology and software controlled by ECCNs 4D001 
and 4E001 specially designed or modified for the ``development,'' 
``production,'' or ``use'' of computers, including ``electronic 
assemblies'' and specially designed components therefor classified in 
ECCN 4A003 under license exception APP.
    For the rest of Computer Tier 1 countries the APP threshold for 
deemed exports of ``development'' and ``production'' computer 
technology and source code is raised from an APP of 25 to 40 Weighted 
TeraFLOPS (WT) in paragraph (c)(3)(ii) and the ``use'' technology and 
source code is raised from an APP of 120 to 200 WT in paragraph 
(c)(3)(iii).
    For Computer Tier 3 countries, the APP threshold for deemed exports 
of ``development'' and ``production'' technology and source code is 
raised from an APP of 12 to 16 WT in paragraph (d)(3)(i). The APP 
threshold for deemed exports of ``use'' technology and source code is 
raised from an APP of 25 to 32 WT in paragraph (d)(3)(ii).
    These APP threshold revisions are based on technological 
advancements in computer technology, as well as license data on the 
deemed export of computer technology.

Section 734.4 De minimis U.S. content.

    Section 734.4 is amended by revising paragraph (a)(1) ``items for 
which there is no de minimis level'' to link the first APP value to 
ECCN 4A003.b for Tier 3 countries and the second APP value to 4A994.b 
for Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. In making this revision, 
BIS is directly linking these ineligibility provisions for computers 
with the control levels for computers for these countries.

Sec.  743.2 High performance computers: Post shipment verification 
reporting.

    Section 743.2 is amended by replacing the reference to the Adjusted 
Peak Performance of 8.0 with a reference to ECCN 4A003.b in the 
requirement for post shipment verification reporting for exports and 
reexports of high performance computers to Computer Tier 3 
destinations. By replacing the APP number with the reference to 
4A003.b, it will always be directly linked with the APP control 
parameter of ECCN 4A003.

Part IV--Removal of the Foreign National Review (FNR) Procedure

    The Foreign National Review (FNR) procedure was implemented in 
License Exceptions CIV and APP (then CTP) in 2004 as a less burdensome 
procedure for authorizing deemed exports that would otherwise require 
licenses. Since the procedure was implemented, according to licensing 
statistics, BIS has processed a total of approximately 410 
applications, of which 230 were approved, none were denied, and 180 
were returned without action due to ineligibility or because the FNR 
was not required for the deemed export at issue. These statistics 
indicate that the procedure is not used widely by industry, perhaps 
because it is not well understood. In addition, the fact that the 
review procedure has not resulted in any denials in over eight years 
indicates that government licensing resources should be redirected to 
other more sensitive licensing issues. Removing this requirement 
removes an unnecessary delay for foreign nationals to receive 
technology that is eligible for deemed exports under License Exceptions 
CIV and APP. Therefore, BIS is removing the FNR procedure from the EAR 
so that License Exception CIV and APP may be utilized for eligible 
deemed exports.

License Exception CIV--Sec.  740.5

    This rule removes paragraph (d) under Sec.  740.5, which is the 
requirement under License Exception CIV to submit an FNR request to BIS 
for deemed exports and reexports of 3E002 technology to foreign 
nationals. The removal of this paragraph conforms to the removal of the 
FNR procedure from the EAR. This change allows exporters to utilize 
License Exception CIV for deemed exports of eligible 3E002 technology 
to a foreign national having a home country included in EAR Country 
Group D:1 without having to submit a FNR request to BIS.

Part 748 Applications (Classification, Advisory, and License) and 
Documentation

    Section 748.7 ``Registering for electronic submission of license 
applications and related documents'' is amended by removing references 
to the FNR requirement for License Exceptions APP and CIV under 
paragraphs (a) and (d). The removal of these words conform this 
provision with the removal of the FNR procedure from the EAR.
    Section 748.8 ``Unique Application and Submission Requirements'' is 
amended by removing paragraphs (s) ``Foreign National Review Request'' 
and (t) ``Foreign National Support Statement for deemed exports.'' 
Corresponding paragraphs (s) and (t) are removed from Supplement No. 2 
to part 748 as well. The removal of these sections and paragraphs 
conforms with the removal of the FNR procedure from the EAR. Guidelines 
for foreign national license applications are found on the BIS Web site 
at http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/deemed-exports.
    Other changes to Part 748 related to the removal of the encryption 
registration requirement and a WA agreement are described in two 
separate paragraphs in a previous section of this Supplementary 
Information section.

Export Administration Act

    Since August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act of 1979, as 
amended, has been in lapse. However, 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 4, 2016, 81 FR 52587 
(August 8, 2016), has continued the EAR in effect under the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). 
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 an exporting carrier, or en route 
aboard a carrier to a port of export, on September 20, 2016, pursuant 
to actual orders for exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) to a 
foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous 
license exception eligibility or without a license so long as they have 
been exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) before November 21, 
2016. Any such items not actually exported, reexported and transfered 
(in-country) before midnight, on November 21, 2016, require a license 
in accordance with this regulation.

[[Page 64667]]

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. Accordingly, the rule has been 
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
    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 collection 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. The collection under control number 0694-0137 ``License 
Exemptions and Exclusions'' is revised because the notification 
requirement for publicly available software is amended by this rule. 
The notification requirement for publicly available source code 
software is moved from License Exception TSU to Sec.  742.15(b) of the 
EAR. Therefore, the burden hours will be moved from one section to 
another within 0694-0137 as a consequence of this rule and citations 
and requirements will be updated within the supporting statement for 
this collection upon the next renewal 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 2015 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.

9. In Sec.  738.4, revise paragraph (a)(2)(ii)(B) to read as follows:

Sec.  738.4  Determining whether a license is required.

    (a) * * *
    (2) * * *
    (ii) * * *
    (B) If no, a license is not required based on the particular Reason 
for Control and destination. Provided that General Prohibitions Four 
through Ten do not apply to your proposed transaction and the License 
Requirement section does not refer you to any other part of the EAR to 
determine license requirements. For example, any applicable encryption 
classification requirements described in Sec.  740.17(b) of the EAR 
must be met for certain mass market encryption items to affect your 
shipment using the symbol ``NLR.'' Proceed to parts 758 and 762 of the 
EAR for information on export clearance procedures and recordkeeping 
requirements. Note that although you may stop after determining a 
license is required based on the first Reason for Control, it is best 
to work through each applicable Reason for Control. A full analysis of 
every possible licensing requirement based on each applicable Reason 
for Control is required to determine the most advantageous License 
Exception available for your particular transaction and, if a license 
is required, ascertain the scope of review conducted by BIS on your 
license application.

14. Section 740.13 is amended by removing and reserving paragraph (e).
0
15. Section 740.17 is revised to read as follows:

Sec.  740.17  Encryption Commodities, Software, and Technology (ENC).

    License Exception ENC authorizes export, reexport, and transfer 
(in-country) of systems, equipment, commodities, and components 
therefor that are classified under ECCNs 5A002, 5B002, equivalent or 
related software and technology therefor classified under 5D002 or 
5E002, and ``cryptanalytic items'' classified under ECCNs 5A004, 5D002 
or 5E002. This License Exception ENC does not authorize export or 
reexport to, transfer (in-country) in, or provision of any service in 
any country listed in Country Groups E:1 or E:2 in Supplement No. 1 to 
part 740 of the EAR, or release of source code or technology to any 
national of a country listed in Country Groups E:1 or E:2. Reexports 
and transfers (in-country) under License Exception ENC are subject to 
the criteria set forth in paragraph (c) of this section. Paragraphs (b) 
and (d) of this section set forth information about classifications 
required by this section. Items described in paragraphs (b)(1) and 
(b)(3)(i), (ii), or (iv) of this section that meet the criteria set 
forth in Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2 of the Commerce Control List (the 
``mass market'' note) are classified under ECCN 5A992.c or 5D992.c 
following self-classification or classification by BIS and are no 
longer subject to ``EI'' and ``NS'' controls. Paragraph (e) sets forth 
reporting required by this section. For items exported under paragraphs 
(b)(1), (b)(3)(i), (ii), or (iv) of this section and therefore excluded 
from paragraph (e) reporting requirements, exporters are reminded of 
the recordkeeping requirements in part 762 of the EAR and that they may 
be required to make such records available upon request. All 
classification requests, and reports submitted to BIS pursuant to this 
section for encryption items will be reviewed by the ENC Encryption 
Request Coordinator, Ft. Meade, MD.
    (a) No classification request or reporting required. License 
Exception ENC authorizes the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) 
to the end users and for the end uses set forth in paragraphs (a)(1) 
through (3) of this section, without submission of a classification 
request, self-classification report or sales report to BIS.
    (1) Certain exports, reexports, transfers (in-country) to `private 
sector end users'--(i) Internal ``development'' or ``production'' of 
new products. License Exception ENC authorizes certain exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) of items described in paragraph 
(a) of this section for the internal ``development'' or

[[Page 64670]]

``production'' of new products by `private sector end users,' wherever 
located, that are headquartered in a country listed in Supplement No. 3 
of this part.
    (ii) Certain exports, reexports, transfers (in-country) to related 
parties, not involving ``development'' or ``production'' of new 
products. For internal end uses among `private sector end users' other 
than the ``development'' or ``production'' of new products, License 
Exception ENC authorizes exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) 
of non-U.S.-origin items, described in paragraph (a) of this section, 
to `private sector end users' wherever located provided that:
    (A) That item became subject to the EAR after it was produced;
    (B) All parties to the transaction are subsidiaries of the same 
parent company headquartered in a country listed in Supplement No. 3 of 
this part; and
    (C) The characteristics or capabilities of the existing item are 
not enhanced, unless otherwise authorized by license or license 
exception.

    Note to paragraph (a)(1): A `private sector end user' is either: 
An individual who is not acting on behalf of any foreign government; 
or a commercial firm (including its subsidiary and parent firms, and 
other subsidiaries of the same parent) that is not wholly owned by, 
otherwise controlled by or acting on behalf of, any foreign 
government.

    (2) Exports, reexports, transfers (in-country) to ``U.S. 
Subsidiaries.'' License Exception ENC authorizes export, reexport, and 
transfer (in-country) of items described in paragraph (a) of this 
section to any ``U.S. subsidiary,'' wherever located. License Exception 
ENC also authorizes export, reexport, transfer (in-country) of such 
items by a U.S. company and its subsidiaries to foreign nationals who 
are employees, individual contractors or interns of a U.S. company or 
its subsidiaries if the items are for internal company use, including 
the ``development'' or ``production'' of new products, without prior 
review by the U.S. Government.

    Note to paragraphs (a)(1) and (2): All items produced or 
developed with items exported, reexported, or transferred (in-
country) under paragraphs (a)(1) or (2) of this section are subject 
to the EAR. These items may require the submission of a 
classification request before sale, reexport or transfer to non-
``U.S. subsidiaries,'' unless otherwise authorized by license or 
license exception.

    (3) Reexports and transfers (in-country) of non-U.S. products 
developed with or incorporating U.S.-origin encryption source code, 
components, or toolkits. License Exception ENC authorizes the reexport 
and transfer (in-country) of non-U.S. products developed with or 
incorporating U.S.-origin encryption source code, components or 
toolkits that are subject to the EAR, provided that the U.S.-origin 
encryption items have previously been classified or reported and 
authorized by BIS and the cryptographic functionality has not been 
changed. Such products include non-U.S. developed products that are 
designed to operate with U.S. products through a cryptographic 
interface.

    Note to paragraph (a)(3): This exception from classification and 
reporting requirements does not apply to non-U.S.-origin products 
exported from the United States.

    (b) Classification request or self-classification report. For 
products described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section that are self-
classified by the exporter, a self-classification report in accordance 
with paragraph (e)(3) of this section is required from specified 
exporters, reexporters and transferors; for products described in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section that are classified by BIS via a 
CCATS, a self-classification report is not required. For products 
described in paragraphs (b)(2) and (3) of this section, a thirty-day 
(30-day) classification request is required in accordance with 
paragraph (d) of this section. An exporter, reexporter, or transferor 
may rely on the producer's self-classification (for products described 
in (b)(1), only) or CCATS for an encryption item eligible for export or 
reexport under License Exception ENC under paragraph (b)(1), (2), or 
(3) of this section. Exporters are still required to comply with semi-
annual sales reporting requirements under paragraph (e)(1) or (2) of 
this section, even if relying on a CCATS issued to a producer for 
specified encryption items described in paragraphs (b)(2) and 
(b)(3)(iii) of this section.
    (1) Immediate authorization. This paragraph (b)(1) authorizes the 
exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of the associated 
commodities self-classified under ECCNs 5A002.a or 5B002, and 
equivalent or related software therefor classified under 5D002, except 
any such commodities, software, or components described in (b)(2) or 
(3) of this section, subject to submission of a self-classification 
report in accordance with Sec.  740.17(e)(3) of the EAR. Items 
described in this paragraph (b)(1) that meet the criteria set forth in 
Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2 of the Commerce Control List (the ``mass 
market'' note) are classified as ECCN 5A992.c or 5D992.c following 
self-classification or classification by BIS and are removed from 
``EI'' and ``NS'' controls.

in paragraph (r) of Supplement No. 2 to part 748 ``Unique Application 
and Submission Requirements,'' along with other required information as 
follows:
    (ii) Technical information submission requirements. For all 
submissions of encryption classification requests for items described 
under paragraph (b)(2) or (b)(3) of this section, you must submit the 
applicable information described in paragraphs (a) through (d) of 
Supplement No. 6 to part 742 of the EAR (Technical Questionnaire for 
Encryption Items). For items eligible for self-classification that are 
submitted to BIS for classification you may be required to provide BIS 
this Supplement No. 6 to part 742 information on an as-needed basis, 
upon request by BIS.
    (iii) Changes in encryption functionality following a previous 
classification. A new product encryption classification request (under 
paragraphs (b)(2) or (b)(3) of this section) is required if a change is 
made to the cryptographic functionality (e.g., algorithms) or other 
technical characteristics affecting License Exception ENC eligibility 
(e.g., encrypted throughput) of the originally classified product. 
However, a new product classification request is not required when a 
change involves: the subsequent bundling, patches, upgrades or releases 
of a product; name changes; or changes to a previously reviewed 
encryption product where the change is limited to updates of encryption 
software components where the product is otherwise unchanged.
    (2) Action by BIS.
    (i) [Reserved]
    (ii) For items requiring classification by BIS under paragraphs 
(b)(2) and (3) of this section. (A) For classifications that require a 
thirty (30-day) waiting period, if BIS has not, within thirty days (30 
days) from registration in SNAP-R of your complete classification 
request, informed you that your item is not authorized for License 
Exception ENC, you may export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) under 
the applicable provisions of License Exception ENC.
    (B) Upon completion of its classification, BIS will issue a 
Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System (CCATS) to you.
    (C) Hold Without Action (HWA) for classification requests. BIS may 
hold your classification request without action if necessary to obtain 
additional information or for any other reason necessary to ensure an 
accurate classification. Time on such ``hold without action'' status 
shall not be counted towards fulfilling the thirty-day (30-day) 
processing period specified in this paragraph.

information about your encryption item(s) or information that pertains 
to their eligibility for License Exception ENC at any time, before or 
after the expiration of the thirty-day (30-day) processing period 
specified in this paragraph and in paragraphs (b)(2) and (3) of this 
section. If you do not supply such information within 14 days after 
receiving a request for it from BIS, BIS may return your classification 
request(s) without action or otherwise suspend or revoke your 
eligibility to use License Exception ENC for that item(s). At your 
request, BIS may grant you up to an additional 14 days to provide the 
requested information. Any request for such an additional number of 
days must be made prior to the date by which the information was 
otherwise due to be provided to BIS, and may be approved if BIS 
concludes that additional time is necessary.

[[Page 64674]]

    (a) Licensing requirements and policy--(1) Licensing requirements. 
A license is required to export or reexport encryption items (``EI'') 
classified under ECCN 5A002, 5A004, 5D002.a, .c.1 or .d (for equipment 
and ``software'' in ECCNs 5A002 or 5A004, 5D002.c.1); or 5E002 for 
``technology'' for the ``development,'' ``production,'' or ``use'' of 
commodities or ``software'' controlled for EI reasons in ECCNs 5A002, 
5A004 or 5D002, and ``technology'' classified under 5E002.b to all 
destinations, except Canada. Refer to part 740 of the EAR, for license 
exceptions that apply to certain encryption items, and to Sec.  772.1 
of the EAR for definitions of encryption items and terms. Most 
encryption items may be exported under the provisions of License 
Exception ENC set forth in Sec.  740.17 of the EAR. Following 
classification or self-classification, items that meet the criteria of 
Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2 of the Commerce Control List (the ``mass 
market'' note), are classified ECCN 5A992.c or 5D992.c and are no 
longer subject to this Section (see Sec.  740.17 of the EAR). Before 
submitting a license application, please review License Exception ENC 
to determine whether this license exception is available for your item 
or transaction. For exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of 
encryption items that are not eligible for a license exception, you 
must submit an application to obtain authorization under a license or 
an Encryption Licensing Arrangement.
    (2) Licensing policy. Applications will be reviewed on a case-by-
case basis by BIS, in conjunction with other agencies, to determine 
whether the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) is consistent 
with U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. Encryption 
Licensing Arrangements (ELAs) may be authorized for exports, reexports, 
or transfers (in-country) of unlimited quantities of encryption 
commodities and software described in Sec.  740.17 (b)(2)(i)(A) that 
have been classified by BIS to ``more sensitive government end users,'' 
in all destinations, except countries listed in Country Groups E:1 or 
E:2 of Supplement No. 1 to part 740. ELAs for ``more sensitive 
government end users'' may be authorized for encryption commodities and 
software described in Sec.  740.17(b)(2)(ii) through (iv) under certain 
circumstances. ELAs are valid for four years and may require pre-
shipment notification. Applicants seeking authorization for Encryption 
Licensing Arrangements must specify the sales territory on their 
license applications.
    (b) Publicly available encryption source code--(1) Scope and 
eligibility. Subject to the notification requirements of paragraph 
(b)(2) of this section, publicly available (see Sec.  734.3(b)(3) of 
the EAR) encryption source code classified under ECCN 5D002 is not 
subject to the EAR. Such source code is publicly available even if it 
is subject to an express agreement for the payment of a licensing fee 
or royalty for commercial production or sale of any product developed 
using the source code.
    (2) Notification requirement. You must notify BIS and the ENC 
Encryption Request Coordinator via email of the Internet location 
(e.g., URL or Internet address) of the publicly available encryption 
source code classified under ECCN 5D002 or provide each of them a copy 
of the publicly available encryption source code. If you update or 
modify the source code, you must also provide additional copies to each 
of them each time the cryptographic functionality of the source code is 
updated or modified. In addition, if you posted the source code on the 
Internet, you must notify BIS and the ENC Encryption Request 
Coordinator each time the Internet location is changed, but you are not 
required to notify them of updates or modifications made to the 
encryption source code at the previously notified location. In all

as follows:

Sec.  770.2  Item interpretations.

* * * * *
    (l) Interpretation 12: Computers. (1) Digital computers or computer 
systems classified under ECCN 4A003.b or .c, that qualify for ``No 
License Required'' (NLR) must be evaluated on the basis of Adjusted 
Peak Performance (APP) alone, to the exclusion of all other technical 
parameters. Digital computers or computer systems classified under ECCN 
4A003.b or .c that qualify for License Exception APP must be evaluated 
on the basis of APP, to the exclusion of all other technical 
parameters. Assemblies performing analog-to-digital conversions are 
evaluated under Category 3--Electronics, ECCN 3A002.h.
    (2) Related equipment classified under ECCN 4A003.g may be exported 
or reexported under License Exceptions GBS or CIV. When related 
equipment is exported or reexported as part of a computer system, NLR 
or License Exception APP is available for the computer system and the 
related equipment, as appropriate.
* * * * *
    (m) Interpretation 13: Encryption commodities and software 
controlled for EI reasons. Encryption commodities and software 
controlled for EI reasons under ECCNs 5A002, 5A004 and 5D002 may be 
pre-loaded on a laptop, handheld device or other computer or equipment 
and exported under the tools of trade provision of License Exception 
TMP or the personal use exemption under License Exception BAG, subject 
to the terms and conditions of such License Exceptions. Neither License 
Exception TMP nor License Exception BAG contains a reporting 
requirement. Like other ``information security'' ``software,'' 
components, ``electronic assemblies'' or modules, the control status of 
encryption commodities and software is determined in Category 5--Part 2 
even if they are bundled, commingled or incorporated in a computer or 
other equipment. However, commodities and software specially designed 
for medical end use that incorporate an item in Category 5--Part 2 are 
not controlled in Category 5--Part 2. See paragraph (a) of Supplement 
No. 3 to part 774 (Statements of Understanding) of the EAR.
