Technical Corrections to the Export Administration Regulations 
Based Upon a Systematic Review of the CCL

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) 
to make various technical corrections and clarifications to the EAR as 
a result of a systematic review of the Commerce Control List (CCL) that 
was conducted by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). This rule 
is the first phase of the regulatory implementation of the results of a 
review of the CCL that was conducted by BIS starting in 2007. The BIS 
CCL review benefited from input received from BIS's Technical Advisory 
Committees (TACs) and comments that were received from the interested 
public in response to the publication of a BIS notice of inquiry on 
July 17, 2007 (72 FR 39052).

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective: April 18, 2008. Although 
there is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation 
are welcome on a continuing basis.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by RIN 0694-AE32, by any 
of the following methods:
    E-mail: publiccomments@bis.doc.gov Include ``RIN 0694-AE32'' in the 
subject line of the message.
    Fax: (202) 482-3355. Please alert the Regulatory Policy Division, 
by calling (202) 482-2440, if you are faxing comments.
    Mail or Hand Delivery/Courier: Timothy Mooney, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, Regulatory Policy Division, 
14th St. & Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Room 2705, Washington, DC 20230, 
Attn: RIN 0694-AE32.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to 
make various technical corrections and clarifications to the EAR as a 
result of a systematic review of the Commerce Control List (CCL) that 
was conducted by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) beginning in 
2007. This rule is the first phase of the regulatory implementation of 
the results of that review. This rule focuses on making needed 
technical corrections and clarifications to the CCL. The BIS CCL review 
benefited from input received from BIS's Technical Advisory Committees 
(TACs) and public comments received in response to a BIS notice of 
inquiry (July 17, 2007, 72 FR 39052).
    BIS intends to publish another rule later this year that will 
implement the

[[Page 21036]]

second phase of the regulatory implementation of the results of that 
systematic review of the CCL. That rule is tentatively titled, 
``Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations based upon a 
Systematic Review of the Commerce Control List'' (RIN: 0694-AE33). That 
second rule will include substantive changes to the CCL.
    As a part of the implementation phase of the CCL review, the agency 
is also taking other non-regulatory actions to improve the public's 
understanding of the CCL. These BIS actions involve publishing certain 
advisory opinions and creating new web guidance to provide greater 
clarity to exporters and reexporters regarding existing provisions of 
the CCL. BIS has also created a new process whereby BIS has stated its 
intention to conduct similar types of systematic reviews of the CCL in 
the future in order to continuously improve the CCL.
    This rule makes the following technical revision to the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR):
    In Supplement No. 1 to Part 748 (BIS-748P, BIS-748P-A; Item 
Appendix, and BIS-748P-B; End-User Appendix; Multipurpose Application 
Instructions), this rule amends the instructions for ``Block 6: 
Documents submitted with application'', to provide guidance to 
applicants who wish to include foreign availability support material 
for items not controlled for national security reasons. This new 
instruction guidance under Block 6 explains the procedure applicants 
should follow for submitting this information. The purpose of 
submitting this foreign availability information would be to make the 
U.S. Government more aware of the foreign availability of items not 
controlled for national security reasons.
    In addition, this rule makes the following technical revisions to 
the Commerce Control List (CCL) (Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the 
EAR):

    (1) This rule revises the ``Related Controls'' paragraphs in the 
following twenty-four CCL entries: 0A018, 1A001, 1A003, 1A005, 
1C004, 1C006, 1C008, 1C009, 1C011, 1C012, 1D001, 1D018, 1E002, 
2A983, 2B004, 2B005, 2E101, 2E201, 3A002, 3B002, 3B992, 3D002, 
4D003, and 5E002 by adding additional related controls references or 
making changes for greater specificity for the related controls 
references. BIS includes related controls references in CCL entries 
to assist exporters in classifying items on the CCL and in some 
cases provides cross-references for items that are listed on the 
CCL, but are under the export control jurisdiction of other U.S. 
Government agencies. Several of the public comments received by BIS, 
as a part of the CCL review process, requested that BIS add these 
types of additional related controls references to better assist the 
public in classifying their items using the CCL.
    (2) This rule is also amending the ``Unit'' paragraph in the 
following fourteen CCL entries: 1B003, 2B001, 2B003, 2B004, 4A001, 
4A003, 4A004, 5B001, 6A002, 6A004, 6A005, 8A001, 9A004, and 9B009. 
Several of the comments received by BIS, as a part of the CCL review 
process, requested that changes be made to the ``Unit'' paragraphs 
of certain CCL entries, so that the unit of measurement in the 
``Unit'' paragraphs would conform to standard quantities for the 
items controlled in those respective CCL entries. BIS agreed that 
these technical corrections should be made to the CCL in order to 
ensure that the ``Unit'' paragraphs conformed with the items 
controlled in those CCL entries.
    (3) In three CCL entries, 6D003, 8D001 and 8E001, this rule 
removes outdated references in the ``License Exceptions'' section of 
each of these CCL entries that had incorrectly referred to License 
Exception TSR non-availability for items under those CCL entries 
controlled for Missile Technology (MT) reasons. None of these three 
CCL entries is controlled for MT reasons, so the reference to the 
restriction on the use of License Exception TSR in these CCL entries 
is outdated and confusing. This rule corrects that by removing the 
outdated reference to the MT restriction in each of these CCL 
entries.

    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001, 
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 15, 
2007, 72 FR 46137 (August 16, 2007), has continued the Export 
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency 
Economic Powers Act.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for 
purposes of E.O. 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty 
for failure to comply with a collection of information, subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of 
information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget 
Control Number. This rule contains a collection of information subject 
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This 
collection has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget 
under control number 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which 
carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes for a manual or electronic 
submission.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined under E.O. 13132.
    4. The Department finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act 
requiring prior notice and the opportunity for public comment because 
they are unnecessary. The changes made by this rule are not substantive 
changes, but rather are updates to cross-references, conformance of 
units of measure to item descriptions, and removal of outdated 
references. This rule does not alter any right, obligation or 
prohibition that applies to any person under the Export Administration 
Regulations (EAR). Because these revisions are not substantive changes, 
it is unnecessary to provide notice and opportunity for public comment. 
In addition, the 30-day delay in effectiveness required by 5 U.S.C. 
553(d) is not applicable because this rule is not a substantive 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.

documentation you are required to submit with your application in 
accordance with the provisions of part 748 of the EAR, and mark all 
applicable Boxes with an (X).

[[Page 21037]]

    Mark the Box ``Foreign Availability'' with an (X) if you are 
submitting an assertion of foreign availability with your license 
application. See part 768 of the EAR for instructions on foreign 
availability submissions.
    If you are not making a foreign availability assertion under 
part 768 of the EAR, you may still mark the box ``Foreign 
Availability'' with an (X), if you are submitting an assertion of 
foreign availability with your license application. Foreign 
availability assertions covered under part 768 are limited to items 
controlled for national security reasons. However, if an applicant 
intends to include foreign availability support material for items 
not controlled for national security reasons, applicants are 
permitted to do this as part of the license application by marking 
the box ``Foreign Availability'' with an (X) and including the 
foreign availability information, along with the support material 
for the license application. Applicants must clearly label this 
support material as ``Foreign availability information--outside the 
scope of part 768''. Although this information is outside the scope 
of part 768, applicants should still use Supplement No. 1 to part 
768 for general guidance regarding what types of information may be 
suitable for demonstrating foreign availability. The purpose of 
submitting this type of foreign availability information will be to 
make the U.S. Government more aware of the foreign availability of 
items not controlled for national security reasons.
    Mark the ``Tech. Specs.'' box with an (X) if you are submitting 
descriptive literature, brochures, technical specifications, etc. 
with your application.
