Amendments to Existing Validated End-User Authorization in the 
People's Republic of China: Lam Research Service Co., Ltd.

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends 
the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to revise the existing 
Validated End-User (VEU) list for the People's Republic of China (PRC) 
by updating the list of eligible destinations (facilities) and eligible 
items in Supplement No. 7 to part 748 for Lam Research Service Co., 
Ltd. (Lam). The End-User Review Committee (ERC) reviewed and authorized 
the amendments to the eligible facilities in response to a request made 
by Lam and in accordance with established procedures. Changes to the 
list of eligible items are technical corrections intended to improve 
clarity. As a consequence of these amendments, the EAR will include an 
updated and accurate list of eligible items (items that may be 
exported, reexported and transferred (in-country)), and eligible Lam 
facilities in the PRC. Publication of this rule supports the VEU 
program by providing information that assists the exporting public.

DATES: This rule is effective October 23, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Authorization Validated End-User

    Validated End-Users (VEUs) are designated entities located in 
eligible destinations to which eligible items may be exported, 
reexported, or transferred (in-country) under a general authorization 
instead of a license. The names of the VEUs, as well as the dates they 
were so designated, and the associated eligible destinations 
(facilities) and items are identified in Supplement No. 7 to part 748 
of the EAR. Pursuant to section 748.15 (Authorization Validated End-
User (VEU)), eligible destinations of VEUs may obtain eligible items 
without the need for the VEUs' supplier to obtain an export or reexport 
license from BIS. Eligible items vary among VEUs and may include 
commodities, software, and/or technology, except items controlled for 
missile technology or crime control reasons on the Commerce Control 
List (CCL) (Supp. No. 1 to part 774 of the EAR).
    VEUs are reviewed and approved by the U.S. Government in accordance 
with the provisions of Sec.  748.15 and Supplement Nos. 8 and 9 to part 
748 of the EAR. The ERC, composed of representatives from the 
Departments of State, Defense, Energy and Commerce, and other agencies 
as appropriate, is responsible for administering the VEU program. BIS 
amended the EAR in a final rule published on June 19, 2007 (72 FR 
33646), to create Authorization VEU.

Amendments to Existing VEU Authorization for Lam Research Service Co., 
Ltd. (Lam) in the People's Republic of China (PRC)

Revision to the List of ``Eligible Destinations'' (Facilities) and 
``Eligible Items'' for Lam

    In this rule, BIS amends Supplement No. 7 to part 748 to revise the 
eligible facilities in the PRC and the items that may be exported, 
reexported or transferred (in-country) to those facilities under VEU 
authorization for Lam. Specifically, the amendments to Lam's eligible 
facilities, including modifications to the name and/or address, 
addition of new facilities, and a facility removal, are being made in 
response to a request from Lam. The End-User Review Committee reviewed 
and authorized the amendments in accordance with established 
procedures.
    BIS also makes a technical update to the list of Lam's eligible 
items to increase clarity and transparency, as described further below.

Facilities

Revisions to Lam's Eligible Facilities

    Prior to this rule, Lam's VEU authorization included 18 facilities 
in the PRC. Of those facilities, 13 remain substantially unchanged in 
Supplement No. 7 to part 748 apart from minor edits made by BIS to 
punctuation and display (e.g., adding a space after asterisks and 
removing unnecessary commas) of addresses for the 13 facilities, as set 
forth below. BIS also updated the address for one facility, updated the 
names of two facilities, updated both

[[Page 48926]]

the name and address of one facility, and removed one facility. In this 
rule, BIS also adds six facilities to Lam's VEU authorization. With the 
publication of this rule, Lam's total number of facilities in the PRC 
is 23. Specific revisions to the list of Lam facilities are as follows:

Items

Revisions to Lam's Eligible Items

    For all Lam's facilities, this rule limits the authorization for 
ECCNs 2B230, 2B350.c, 2B350.d, 2B350.g, 2B350.h, 2B350.i and 3B001.e to 
items for the installation, warranty maintenance/repair, or 
maintenance/repair service of semiconductor manufacturing equipment 
manufactured by Lam. These end-use limits for eligible items are not 
new. Previously, these limitations were imposed as a condition to the 
authorization given to Lam, rather than specified in the description of 
eligible items set forth in Supplement No. 7 to Part 748.
    This rule also limits the authorization for 3D001 software 
(excluding source code) for all facilities to allow only such software 
that is specially designed for the ``development'' or ``production'' of 
equipment controlled by paragraph .e of ECCN 3B001. A similar 
limitation is made for 3D002 software (excluding source code) for all 
facilities, so that only such software that is specially designed for 
the ``use'' of equipment controlled by paragraph .e of ECCN 3B001 
qualifies as an eligible item. These changes are consistent with the 
fact that 3B001.c no longer appears under Lam's list of Eligible items. 
As a result of a foreign availability determination, BIS removed the 
items under paragraph .c from the CCL with the publication of the 
Wassenaar Arrangement Regime 2015 Implementation Rule on September 20, 
2016 (81 FR 64656). Paragraph .c to 3B001 is now reserved in the CCL. 
The changes made by this rule recognize that paragraph .c of 3B001 no 
longer exists by now limiting the authorization for all Lam facilities 
to certain software related to paragraph .e of 3B001, rather than 
software that relates to all paragraphs of 3B001.
    Lastly, for Lam's ``Warehouse Facilities,'' identified by a single 
asterisk in Supplement No. 7 to part 748, this rule further limits the 
scope of the authorization for items under ECCN 3E001 to 
``development'' ``technology'' according to the General Technology Note 
of a type of equipment classified under paragraph .e of ECCN 3B001. For 
Lam's ``Sales Offices,'' identified by a set of double asterisks in 
Supplement No. 7 to part 748, this rule narrows the scope of eligible 
ECCN 3E001 items to ``development'' ``technology'' or ``production'' 
``technology'' according to the General Technology Note of a type to 
support integration, assembly (mounting), inspection, testing, and 
quality assurance of equipment classified under paragraph .e of ECCN 
3B001. Although the wording of the eligible 3E001 items changed 
slightly in an attempt to improve clarity, this change also reflects 
the removal of paragraph .c of ECCN 3B001 from the Lam list of eligible 
items, consistent with change to the CCL, as described above, by 
limiting the eligible technology to items only associated with 
paragraph .e of ECCN 3B001.
    In summary, Eligible Items both for Lam's ``Warehouse Facilities'' 
and for ``Sales Offices'' will include items classified under ECCNs 
2B230, 2B350.c, 2B350.d, 2B350.g, 2B350.h, 2B350.i, 3B001.e, 3D001, 
3D002, and 3E001, subject to certain very specific limits. The 
difference between what is eligible for export to ``Warehouse 
Facilities,'' identified by a single asterisk in Supplement No. 7 to 
part 748, and what is eligible for export to ``Sales Offices,'' 
identified by two asterisks in Supplement No. 7 part 748, is in the 
limitations placed on eligible ECCN 3E001 technology. As explained 
above, and in the rule text, eligible 3E001 technology for ``Warehouse 
Facilities'' will only include certain ``development'' technology, 
while eligible 3E001 technology for ``Sales Offices'' will include 
certain ``development'' technology and certain ``production'' 
technology.

Export Administration Act of 1979

    Although the Export Administration Act of 1979 expired on August 
20, 2001, the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 
2001, 3 CFR, 2001

[[Page 48928]]

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 15, 2017, 82 FR 39005 (August 16, 2017), has continued the 
Export Administration Regulations in effect under the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act. BIS continues to carry out the 
provisions of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as appropriate and 
to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222 as 
amended by Executive Order 13637.

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, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. 
This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of 
Executive Order 12866. This rule is not an Executive Order 13771 
regulatory action because this rule is not significant under Executive 
Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to 
comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of 
the 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 
collections previously approved by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) under Control Number 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' 
which carries a burden hour estimate of 43.8 minutes to prepare and 
submit form BIS-748; and for recordkeeping, reporting and review 
requirements in connection with Authorization VEU, which carries an 
estimated burden of 30 minutes per submission. This rule is expected to 
result in a decrease in license applications submitted to BIS. Total 
burden hours associated with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA) and OMB Control Number 0694-0088 are not 
expected to increase significantly as a result of this rule.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    4. Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B), BIS finds good cause to waive the otherwise applicable 
requirements that this rule be subject to notice and the opportunity 
for public comment because it is unnecessary. In determining whether to 
grant VEU designations, a committee of U.S. Government agencies 
evaluates information about and commitments made by candidate 
companies, the nature and terms of which are set forth in 15 CFR part 
748, Supplement No. 8. The criteria for evaluation by the committee are 
set forth in 15 CFR 748.15(a)(2). The information, commitments, and 
criteria for this extensive review were all established through the 
notice of proposed rulemaking (71 FR 38313, July 6, 2006), the public 
comment process, and issuance of the final rule establishing 
Authorization VEU (72 FR 33646, June 19, 2007). The publication of this 
rule does not establish new policy. In publishing this final rule, BIS 
amends the authorization for an existing eligible VEU in order to 
update eligible destinations (facilities) and eligible items. This 
change has been made within the established regulatory framework of the 
VEU program. Because the criteria and process for authorizing and 
administering VEUs were developed with public comments, allowing 
additional public comment on this amendment to an existing individual 
VEU authorization, which was determined according to those criteria, is 
unnecessary.
    Publication of this rule in other than final form is unnecessary 
because the amendments made by this rule are consistent with the 
authorizations granted to exporters for individual export licenses (and 
amendments or revisions thereof), which do not undergo public review. 
As with license applications, VEU authorization applications contain 
confidential business information, which is necessary for the extensive 
review conducted by the U.S. Government in assessing such applications. 
This information is extensively reviewed according to the criteria for 
VEU authorizations, as set out in 15 CFR 748.15(a)(2). Just as license 
applications are reviewed through an interagency review process, the 
authorizations granted under the VEU program involve interagency 
deliberation and result from review of public and non-public sources, 
including licensing data, and the measurement of such information 
against the VEU authorization criteria. Given the nature of the review, 
and in light of the parallels between the VEU application review 
process and the review of license applications, public comment on the 
underlying authorization and any subsequent amendments that update the 
authorization prior to publication is unnecessary. Moreover, because, 
as noted above, the criteria and process for authorizing and 
administering VEUs were developed with public comments, allowing 
additional public comment on this amendment to an individual VEU 
authorization, which was determined according to those criteria, is 
unnecessary.
    Section 553(d) of the APA provides that rules generally may not 
take effect earlier than thirty (30) days after they are published in 
the Federal Register. However, BIS finds good cause to waive the 30-day 
delay in effectiveness for this rule pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) 
because the delay would be contrary to the public interest. With this 
rule, BIS is simply amending the authorization of an existing VEU to 
update the eligible destinations (facilities) and eligible items. The 
amendments to the EAR in this rule are consistent with established 
objectives and parameters administered and enforced by the responsible 
designated departmental representatives to the End-User Review 
Committee. Delaying this action's effectiveness would likely cause 
confusion for the public regarding which items are authorized by the 
U.S. Government to be shipped to which eligible destination (facility), 
thereby undermining the efficacy of the VEU Program. Accordingly, it is 
contrary to the public interest to delay this rule's effectiveness.
    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 under the APA or by any other law, the analytical 
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) 
are not applicable. As a result, no final regulatory flexibility 
analysis is required and none has been prepared.
