[Docket No. 220203-0039]
RIN 0694-AI70

Addition of Certain Entities to the Entity List

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR) by adding seven entities under seven entries to the Entity List. 
These seven entities have been determined by the U.S. Government to be 
acting contrary to the foreign policy or national security interests of 
the United States and will be listed on the Entity List under the 
destinations of the People's Republic of China (China), Pakistan, and 
the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This final rule also modifies four 
existing entries on the Entity List under the destination of China.

DATES: This rule is effective February 14, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Entity List

    The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the EAR) 
identifies entities for which there is reasonable cause to believe, 
based on specific and articulable facts, that the entities have been 
involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming 
involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign 
policy interests of the United States. The EAR (15 CFR parts 730-774) 
impose additional license requirements on, and

[[Page 8181]]

limit the availability of most license exceptions for, exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) to listed entities. The license 
review policy for each listed entity is identified in the ``License 
Review Policy'' column on the Entity List, and the impact on the 
availability of license exceptions is described in the relevant Federal 
Register document adding entities to the Entity List. BIS places 
entities on the Entity List pursuant to part 744 (Control Policy: End-
User and End-Use Based) and part 746 (Embargoes and Other Special 
Controls) of the EAR.
    The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of 
the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where 
appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions regarding additions to, 
removals from, or other modifications to the Entity List. The ERC makes 
all decisions to add an entry to the Entity List by majority vote and 
makes all decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote.

ERC Entity List Decisions

Additions to the Entity List

    This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add seven entities 
under seven entries to the Entity List. The entities are located in the 
People's Republic of China (China), Pakistan, and the UAE. Of the seven 
entries, one is located in China, five are located in Pakistan, and one 
is located in the UAE.
    The ERC determined to add Chemtech International (Private) Limited, 
Engineering Materials and Equipment Co., Inspectech, Value Additions 
(Pvt) Ltd., and X-Cilent Engineering, all under the destination of 
Pakistan, and Odyssey General Trading FZC, under the destination of the 
UAE, to the Entity List under Sec. Sec.  744.2, which describes 
restrictions on certain nuclear end-users, and 744.11(b) of the EAR.
    In addition, the ERC determined to add Jiangsu Tianyuan Metal 
Powder Co. Ltd. to the Entity List under Sec. Sec.  744.11(b), 744.20 
(license requirements that apply to certain sanctioned entities), and 
746.4 (North Korea) of the EAR. The entity is added to the Entity List 
under the destination of China based on a determination that was made 
by the U.S. Department of State (84 FR 23627) that it engaged in 
activities that warranted the imposition of measures pursuant to 
Section 3 of the Iran, North Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Act 
(Pub. L. 106-178).
    Pursuant to Sec. Sec.  744.2, 744.11(b), 744.20, and 746.4 of the 
EAR, the ERC determined that the conduct of the above-described 
entities raises sufficient concerns that prior review, via the 
imposition of a license requirement for exports, reexports, or 
transfers (in-country) of all items subject to the EAR involving these 
seven entities and the possible issuance of license denials or the 
possible imposition of license conditions on shipments to these 
entities, will enhance BIS's ability to prevent violations of the EAR 
or otherwise protect U.S. national security or foreign policy 
interests.
    For the entities added to the Entity List in this final rule, BIS 
imposes a license requirement that applies to all items subject to the 
EAR. In addition, no license exceptions are available for exports, 
reexports, or transfers (in-country) to the persons being added to the 
Entity List in this rule. For the one entity being added to the Entity 
List under China, BIS imposes a license review policy of a presumption 
of denial. For the five entities being added under Pakistan and one 
entity being added under the UAE, BIS imposes the license review policy 
set forth in Sec.  744.2(d) of the EAR. The acronym ``a.k.a.,'' which 
is an abbreviation of `also known as,' is used in entries on the Entity 
List to identify aliases, thereby assisting exporters, reexporters and 
transferors in identifying entities on the Entity List.
    For the reasons described above, this final rule adds the following 
seven entities under seven entries to the Entity List and includes, 
where appropriate, aliases:

China
     Jiangsu Tianyuan Metal Powder Co. Ltd.
Pakistan
     Chemtech International (Private) Limited;
     Engineering Materials and Equipment Co.;
     Inspectech;
     Value Additions (Pvt) Ltd.; and
     X-Cilent Engineering
United Arab Emirates
     Odyssey General Trading FZC

Revisions to the Entity List

    This rule revises the Entity List entries of Huawei Cloud Brazil, 
under the destination of Brazil, and Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and 
Wavelet, under the destination of China. This final rule corrects a 
typographical error in the city name for the address listed for the 
existing entity for Huawei Cloud Brazil. This final rule also revises 
the entry for Wavelet by adding the punctuation necessary to delineate 
between the addresses that are already listed. This corrects an error 
made in the original publication of the rule adding Wavelet to the 
Entity List, which failed to separate the entry's address in Shenzhen, 
China, from its address in Hong Kong, with the appropriate punctuation.
    Additionally, BIS is revising the Entity List to mitigate 
confusion, by combining the two existing entries entitled ``Huawei 
Technologies Co. Ltd.'' This change does not alter BIS policy regarding 
the entries. Currently, the Entity List includes one entry for ``Huawei 
Technologies Co., Ltd.'' at a Hong Kong address, and a second entry for 
the same entity with addresses of multiple other locations in China. 
This rule combines the two entries into one. As the confusion created 
by the two entries kept the Federal Register from implementing changes 
to a previous rule (86 FR 71557), this rule also adds three aliases 
(HMN Technologies, Huahai Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd., and HMN Tech) 
under one of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.'s affiliated entities, 
Huawei Marine Networks, to the newly combined entry.

Savings Clause

    Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception 
or export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) 
as a result of this regulatory action that were enroute aboard a 
carrier to a port of export, reexport, or transfer (in-country), on 
February 14, 2022, pursuant to actual orders for export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) to or within a foreign destination, may proceed 
to that destination under the previous eligibility for a License 
Exception or export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a 
license (NLR).

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which 
included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (50 U.S.C. 4801-
4852). ECRA provides the legal basis for BIS's principal authorities 
and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this rule.

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

[[Page 8182]]

reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. 
This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of 
Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to or 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 regulation involves 
collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088, 
Simplified Network Application Processing System, which includes, among 
other things, license applications and commodity classification, and 
carries a burden estimate of 29.6 minutes for a manual or electronic 
submission for a total burden estimate of 31,835 hours. Total burden 
hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 are not 
expected to increase as a result of this rule.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. Pursuant to section 1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of 
2018, this action is exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act (5 
U.S.C. 553) requirements for notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity 
for public participation, and delay in effective date.
    5. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for 
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 
553, or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., are not applicable. 
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required and none 
has been prepared.

\2\ Cybersecurity research and vulnerability disclosure. The following exports, reexports, and transfers (in-
  country) to Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei) and its non-U.S. affiliates on the Entity List for
  cybersecurity research and vulnerability disclosure subject to other provisions of the EAR are excluded from
  the Entity List license requirements: When the disclosure to Huawei and/or to its listed non-U.S. affiliates
  is limited to information regarding security vulnerabilities in items owned, possessed, or controlled by
  Huawei or any of its non-U.S. affiliates when related to the process of providing ongoing security research
  critical to maintaining the integrity and reliability of existing and currently `fully operational network'
  and equipment. A `fully operational network' refers to a `third party' network providing services to the
  `third party's' customers. The term `third party' refers to a party that is not Huawei, one of its listed non-
  U.S. affiliates, or the exporter, reexporter, or transferor, but rather an organization such as a
  telecommunications service provider.
