U. S. Bureau of Industry and Security - Revision to Entity List
Revision to Entity List:
Bharat Electronics, Ltd. (aka Baharat Electronics, Ltd.), India
Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce
[Docket No. 970428099-7227-04]
RIN 0694-AB60
Revision to Entity List: Bharat Electronics, Ltd. (aka Baharat Electronics, Ltd.), India AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) provide that the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) may inform exporters, individually or through amendment to the EAR, that a license is required for exports or reexports to certain entities. The EAR contains a list of such entities. This rule amends the Entity List by revising the entry "Bharat Electronics LTD, (aka Baharat Electronics, Ltd.) located in India, for all items subject to the EAR". The entry will now read, "Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) in Bangalore, India; and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) in Hyderabad, India; for all items subject to the EAR having a classification other than EAR99. In addition, exporters are reminded to follow ``BXA's Know Your Customer Guidance and Red Flags", see Supplement No. 3 to part 732 of the EAR, with regard to specific end-use of any item subject to the EAR destined to any Bharat Electronics Limited located in India. EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 1997. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eileen M. Albanese, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Export Administration, Telephone: (202) 482-0436. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background General Prohibition Five (Sec. 736.2(b)(5) of the EAR) prohibits exports to certain end-users or end-uses, as described in Part 744, without a license. In the form of Supplement No. 4 to part 744, BXA maintains an "Entity List" to provide notice informing the public of certain entities subject to such licensing requirements. This rule narrows the scope of products subject to the end-user license requirement and clarifies the end-user by specifying the facilities of Bharat Electronics by city name. Other Bharat Electronics Limited entities would be subject to normal licensing procedures, with the caveat that you may not, without a license, knowingly export or reexport any item subject to the EAR to an end-user or end-use that is prohibited by part 744 of the EAR, per general prohibition five. Although the Export Administration Act (EAA) expired on August 20, 1994, the President invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and continued in effect, to the extent permitted by law, the provisions of the EAA and the EAR in Executive Order 12924 of August 19, 1994, notice of August 15, 1995 (60 FR 42767), and August 14, 1996 (61 FR 42527); and August 13, 1997 (62 FR 43629). Rulemaking Requirements 1. This final 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 nor 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 current valid OMB Control Number. this rule involves 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.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under Executive Order 12612.
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 delay in effective date, are inapplicable because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs function of the United States (Sec. 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). 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 [[Page 51370]] 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. 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, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Export Administration, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
