This proposed rule describes how articles the President determines no longer warrant control under the United States Munitions List (USML) Category IV would be controlled on the Commerce Control List (CCL). These articles, which are related to launch vehicles, missiles, rockets, torpedoes, bombs, mines, and other military explosive devices enumerated in USML Category IV, would be controlled under new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 0A604, 0B604, 0D604, 0E604, 9A604, 9B604, 9D604, and 9E604 on the CCL. In addition, this proposed rule would amend ECCNs 0D001, 0E001, 9B115, 9B116, 9D001, 9D002, 9D003, 9D104, 9E001, 9E002, 9E101, and 9E102 to make clarifications and conforming changes based on the proposed addition of the aforementioned 0x604 and 9x604 ECCNs to the CCL and proposed amendments by the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, to the list of articles controlled by USML Category IV.
This proposed rule is being published in conjunction with a proposed rule from the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, which would amend the list of articles controlled by USML Category IV. The citations, herein, to USML Category IV reflect the proposed amendments contained in the State Department's rule. The revisions proposed in this rule are part of Commerce's retrospective review plan under EO 13563 completed in August 2011.

EAR Revision: Items Related to Launch Vehicles, Missiles, Rockets, and Military Explosive Devices That the President Determines No Longer Warrant Control Under the United States Munitions List 3 actions from January 31st, 2013 to December 2013
In the July 15 (framework) rule, BIS proposed creating a series of new ECCNs to control articles that would be moved from the USML to the CCL or items listed on the Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions List (WAML) that are already controlled elsewhere on the CCL. The proposed rule referred to this series as the “600 series” because the third character in each of the new ECCNs would be a “6.” The first two characters of the “600 series” ECCNs serve the same function as described for any other ECCN in § 738.2 of the EAR. The first character is a digit in the range 0 through 9 that identifies the Category on the CCL in which the ECCN is located. The second character is a letter in the range A through E that identifies the product group within a CCL Category. In the “600 series,” the third character is the number 6. With few exceptions, the final two characters identify the WAML Category that covers items that are the same or similar to items in a particular “600 series” ECCN.
Detailed Description of Changes Proposed by This Rule Back to Top
In new ECCN 9A604, paragraph .a would control thermal batteries “specially designed” for the systems described in USML Category IV that are capable of a range equal to or greater than300 km. Paragraph .b of ECCN 9A604 would control thermal batteries, except for thermal batteries controlled by ECCN 9A604.a, that are “specially designed” for the systems described in USML Category IV. Paragraph .c of ECCN 9A604 would control “components” “specially designed” for ramjet, scramjet, pulse jet, or combined cycle engines described in USML Category IV, including devices to regulate combustion in such commodities. Paragraph .d of ECCN 9A604 would control components “specially designed” for hybrid rocket motors described in USML Category IV that are usable in rockets, missiles, or unmanned aerial vehicles capable of a range equal to or greater than 300 km. Paragraph .e of ECCN 9A604 would control “components” “specially designed” for pressure gain combustion-based propulsion systems controlled under USML Category IV. Paragraphs .f through .w of ECCN 9A604 would be reserved for possible future use. Paragraph .x of ECCN 9A604 would control “parts,” “components,” “accessories,” and “attachments” that are “specially designed” for a commodity in paragraphs .a through .d of ECCN 9A604, or a defense article in USML Category IV, and not specified elsewhere on the CCL or the USML. Two notes to paragraph .x would indicate that: (1) forgings, castings, and other unfinished products are controlled by paragraph .x if they have reached a stage in manufacturing where they are clearly identifiable, by material composition, geometry, or function, as commodities specified in paragraph .x; and (2) “parts,” “components,” “accessories,” and “attachments” specified in USML Category IV(h) are subject to the controls of that paragraph.
Third, this proposed rule would amend ECCNs 9B115 and 9B116 by removing from the headings of these ECCNs all references to the CCL Category 9 placeholder ECCNs that describe only items subject to the export licensing authority of DDTC. These placeholder references would be replaced with references to the appropriate USML Category IV controls described in the State Department's USML Category IV proposed rule, which is being published in conjunction with this BIS proposed rule. Specific USML categories would be referenced in the headings of ECCNs 9B115 and 9B116, because these ECCNs control “specially designed” “production equipment” and “specially designed” “production facilities,” respectively, for certain USML Category IV defense articles, as well as certain CCL Category 9 commodities.
The July 15 (framework) rule and the June 21 (transition) rule would impose certain restrictions on the use of license exceptions for items that would be controlled under the new “600 series” ECCNs on the CCL. For example, proposed § 740.2(a)(12) would make “600 series” items that are destined for a country subject to a United States arms embargo ineligible for shipment under a license exception, except where authorized by License Exception TMP under § 740.9(a)(12) or License Exception BAG under § 740.14(b)(2), for exports to Afghanistan and Iraq, and by License Exception GOV under § 740.11(b)(2)(ii). In addition, the use of License Exception GOV for “600 series” commodities would be limited to situations in which the United States Government is the consignee and end-user or to situations in which the consignee or end-user is the government of a country listed in § 740.20(c)(1).
This rule proposes limited License Exception STA availability for the proposed new 0x604 and 9x604 ECCNs. None of these new ECCNs would be eligible for the STA “controls of lesser sensitivity” described in § 740.20(c)(2) of the EAR. Instead, STA eligibility for items controlled under proposed new ECCN 0A604, 0B604, 0D604, 0E604, 9A604, 9B604, 9D604, or 9E604 would be limited to the destinations listed in § 740.20(c)(1) of the EAR. In addition, License Exception STA would not be available for items controlled for MT reasons under proposed new ECCN 9A604, 9B604, 9D604, or 9E604.
Consistent with the July 15 (framework) rule: (i) The use of License Exception STA for “end items” in “600 series” ECCNs would be limited to those “end items” for which a specific request for License Exception STA eligibility (filed in conjunction with a license application) has been approved; and (ii) “end items” must be for ultimate end use by a foreign government agency of a type specified in the July 15 (framework) rule. Under this proposed rule, otherwise eligible commodities controlled under proposed ECCN 0A604, 0B604, 9A604, or 9B604 would not be subject to the STA eligibility request and determination requirements described in § 740.20(g) of the EAR that apply to “end items” controlled under “600 series” ECCNs.
Pursuant to the framework identified in the July 15 (framework) rule, commodities in ECCN 0A604 or 9A604 related to launch vehicles, missiles, rockets, torpedoes, bombs, mines, and other military explosive devices and charges; related test, inspection and production equipment classified under ECCN 0B604 or 9B604; related “software” classified under ECCN 0D604 or 9D604; and related “technology” classified under ECCN 0E604 or 9E604 would be subject to the licensing policies that apply to items controlled for NS reasons, as described in § 742.4(b)(1)—specifically, NS Column 1 controls. In addition, these same items would be subject to the regional stability licensing policies set forth in § 742.6(a)(1)—specifically, RS Column 1. Furthermore, items described in ECCN 9A604.a, .c, or .d; related test, inspection and production equipment described in ECCN 9B604.a; “software” described in ECCN 9D604.a, for commodities controlled for MT reasons in ECCN 9A604 or 9B604; and “technology” described in ECCN 9E604.a, for commodities and “software” controlled for MT reasons in ECCNs 9A604, 9B604, or 9D604, would be subject to the missile technology licensing policies set forth in § 742.5(a)(1)—specifically, MT Column 1 controls.
The July 15 (framework) rule would amend § 742.4 to apply a general policy of denial to “600 series” items for destinations that are subject to a United States arms embargo. That policy would apply to all items controlled for NS reasons under this proposed rule. The November 7 (aircraft) rule would expand that general policy of denial to include “600 series” items subject to the licensing policies that apply to items controlled for regional stability reasons, as described in § 742.6(b)(1)—specifically, RS Column 1. While this change might seem redundant for the items affected by this proposed rule, it ensures that a general denial policy would apply to any “600 series” items that are controlled for MT and RS reasons, but not for NS reasons (as would be the case for certain items affected by the November 7 (aircraft) rule).
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor is 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 OMB control number. This proposed rule would affect two approved collections: Simplified Network Application Processing System (control number 0694-0088), which includes, among other things, license applications, and License Exceptions and Exclusions (0694-0137). As stated in the July 15 (framework) rule (76 FR 41958), BIS believes that the combined effect of all rules to be published adding items to the EAR that would be removed from the ITAR, as part of the Administration's Export Control Reform Initiative, would increase the number of license applications to be submitted by approximately 16,000 annually, resulting in an increase in burden hours of 5,067 (16,000 transactions at 17 minutes each) under control number 0694-0088.
Some items formerly on the USML would become eligible for License Exception STA under this rule. Items controlled under proposed ECCN 0A604, 0B604, 0D604, or 0E604, and items controlled under proposed ECCN 9A604, 9B604, 9D604, or 9E604 that are not controlled for MT reasons, would be eligible for certain parts of STA. In addition, eligible commodities controlled under proposed ECCN 0A604, 0B604, 9A604, or 9B604 would not be subject to the STA eligibility request requirements described in § 740.20(g) of the EAR. As stated in theJuly 15 (framework) rule, BIS believes that the increased use of License Exception STA, resulting from the combined effect of all rules to be published adding items to the EAR that would be removed from the ITAR as part of the administration's Export Control Reform Initiative, would increase the burden associated with control number 0694-0137 by about 23,858 hours (20,450 transactions at 1 hour and 10 minutes each). Use of License Exception STA imposes a paperwork and compliance burden because, for example, exporters must furnish information about the item being exported to the consignee and obtain from the consignee an acknowledgement and commitment to comply with the EAR. It is, however, the Administration's understanding that complying with the requirements of STA is likely to be less burdensome than applying for licenses. For example, under License Exception STA, a single consignee statement can apply to an unlimited number of products, need not have an expiration date and need not be submitted to the government in advance for approval. Suppliers with regular customers can tailor a single statement and assurance to match their business relationship rather than applying repeatedly for licenses with every purchase order to supply allied and, in some cases, U.S. forces with routine replacement parts and components.
This rule addresses certain equipment, and “software” and “technology” therefor, that are related to launch vehicles, missiles, rockets, torpedoes, bombs, mines, and other military explosive devices currently enumerated in USML Category IV (Launch Vehicles, Guided Missiles, Ballistic Missiles, Rockets, Torpedoes, Bombs, and Mines). Most of this equipment would remain on the USML. However, parts and components for such equipment, which are more likely to be produced by small businesses than are complete systems, would in many cases become subject to the EAR, unless expressly controlled on the USML (e.g., items enumerated in ECCN 0A604.x or 9A604.x). In addition, officials of the Department of State have informed BIS that license applications for such parts and components are a high percentage of the license applications for USML articles reviewed by that department. Changing the jurisdictional status of certain Category IV items would reduce the burden on small entities (and other entities as well) through: (i) Elimination of some license requirements; (ii) greater availability of license exceptions; (iii) simpler license application procedures; and (iv) reduced (or eliminated) registration fees.
