This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding fifteen persons under twenty entries to the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744) on the basis of section 744.11 of the EAR. The persons being added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. These persons will be listed under the following six destinations on the Entity List: Cyprus, Greece, Iran, Syria, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom (U.K.).
In addition, this rule amends the EAR to implement modifications to the Entity List on the basis of the annual review of the Entity List conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC), which the ERC conducts to determine if any entities on the Entity List should be removed or modified. This rule implements the results of the annual review for entities located in Syria.
Effective Date: This rule is effective August 15, 2011.
The persons being added to the Entity List under this rule have been determined by the ERC to be involved in activities that could be contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. Examples of the specific activities these persons have been involved with that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States pursuant to section 744.11 include the violation of the license requirements imposed for exports and reexports to Syria as specified in General Order No. 2 of Supplement No. Start Printed Page 504081 to part 736 of the EAR, and violation of the embargo against Iran as specified in the Iran Transactions Regulations (31 CFR Part 560). Both Syria and Iran have been designated by the Secretary of State as countries that have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism. Specifically, these persons were involved in the lease, transfer, and operation of commercial aircraft subject to the EAR, without the requisite licenses, for use in Syria and Iran.

BIS published a final rule on April 18, 2011 (76 FR 21628) (April 18 Final Rule) that made revisions to the Entity List. These revisions included a clarification in the preamble of the rule that the “901 Institute” should be listed as one of nineteen individual aliases for the listed person the “Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics” (CAEP) and not as part of the eighteenth alias, i.e. the “University of Electronic Science and Technology of China” (UESTC). The final rule published today makes two additional changes to the existing entry for CAEP. First, as a clarification, this rule adds an address for the “901 Institute,” to assist exporters, reexporters, and transferors in more easily identifying this listed alias for CAEP. The addition of this address was approved by the ERC.
Second, this rule corrects an inadvertent error in the April 18 Final Rule by removing “901 Institute” as an alias of CAEP's eighteenth alias in Supplement No. 4 to part 744 of the EAR because, as explained in the April 18 Final Rule and noted above, the “901 Institute” is not part of the eighteenth alias (i.e. UESTC) but is a distinct nineteenth alias for CAEP. Although this conforming change was correctly described in the preamble of the April 18 Final Rule, it was not included in the regulatory text. This final rule corrects that error by amending the regulatory text to remove the reference to the “901 Institute” in CAEP's eighteenth alias (i.e. UESTC) and listing it as CAEP's nineteenth alias. The ERC cleared the removal of the “901 Institute” as an alias of UESTC and its addition as CAEP's nineteenth alias prior to the publication of the April 18 Final Rule.
(1) Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics, a.k.a., the following nineteen aliases:
—Southwest Institute of Structural Mechanics; (all of the preceding located in or near Mianyang, Sichuan Province);
—*University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (No. 4, 2nd Section, North Jianshe Road, Chengdu, 610054); and
—*901 Institute, P.O. Box 523, Chengdu, 6100003.
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 regulation involves collections previously approved by the OMB under control numbers 0694-0088, “Multi-Purpose Application,” which carries a burden hour estimate of 43.8 minutes for a manual or electronic submission. Total burden hours associated with the Paperwork Reduction Act and Office and Management and Budget control number 0694-0088 are not expected to increase as a result of this rule. You may send comments regarding the collection of information associated with this rule, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by e-mail to Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.eop.gov, or by fax to (202) 395-7285.
4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public comment and a delay in effective date are inapplicable because this regulation involves a military or foreign affairs function of the United States (See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS implements this rule to protect U.S. national security or foreign policy interests by preventing items from being exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) to the persons being added to the Entity List. If this rule were delayed to allow for notice and comment and a delay in effective date, then entities being added to the Entity List by this action would continue to be able to receive items without a license and to conduct activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the Start Printed Page 50410United States. Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this rule. 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.
(b) By adding, in alphabetical order, the destination of Cyprus under the Country column and one Cypriot entity;
(c) By adding, in alphabetical order, the destination of Greece under the Country column and three Greek entities;
(e) By adding under Syria, in alphabetical order, two Syrian entities, “Cham Wings Airlines” and “Ukraine Mediterranean Airlines, a.k.a., UM Airlines, UM Air”;
(f) By revising under Syria, in alphabetical order, seven Syrian entities;
(g) By adding, in alphabetical order, the destination of Ukraine under the Country column and five Ukrainian entities; and
(h) By adding under the United Kingdom, in alphabetical order, five British entities.
