Removal of Entity From the Entity List

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends 
the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by removing one entity 
located under two entries from the Entity List under the destinations 
of France and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These removals from the 
Entity List are made in connection with a request for removal that BIS 
received pursuant to the EAR and a review of information provided in 
the request.

DATES: This rule is effective June 15, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chair, End-User Review Committee, 
Office of the Assistant Secretary, Export Administration, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, Phone: (202) 482-5991, 
Fax: (202) 482-3911, Email: ERC@bis.doc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    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 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 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 and the Military End User (MEU) List. 
The ERC makes all decisions to add an entry to the Entity List and MEU 
List by majority vote and all decisions to remove or modify an entry by 
unanimous vote.

Entity List Decisions

Removals From the Entity List

    This rule implements a decision of the ERC to remove Satori 
Corporation, an entity located in France and the UAE, from the Entity 
List on the basis of a removal request. The entries for Satori 
Corporation under the destinations of France and the UAE were added to 
the Entity List on December 22, 2020 (85 FR 83420, December 22, 2020). 
The ERC decided to remove this one entity with two entries based on 
information BIS received pursuant to Sec.  744.16 of the EAR and the 
review the ERC conducted in accordance with procedures described in 
supplement no. 5 to part 744 of the EAR.
    This final rule implements the decision to remove the following one 
entity under two entries, located in France and the UAE, from the 
Entity List:

France

     Satori Corporation.

UAE

     Satori Corporation.

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 reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility. This final rule has been designated 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 carries a burden estimate of 
29.6 minutes for a manual or electronic submission. 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 ECRA (50 U.S.C. 4821), 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.
