The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to part 744) identifies entities and other persons reasonably believed to be involved, or to 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 imposes additional license requirements on, and limits the availability, of most license exceptions for, exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to those listed. Start Printed Page 57452The “license review policy” for each listed entity or other person 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 Federal Register notice adding entities or other persons to the Entity List. BIS places entities and other persons on the Entity List pursuant to sections of part 744 (Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) and part 746 (Embargoes and Other Special Controls) of the EAR.
This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add ten persons under fourteen entries to the Entity List. These ten persons are being added on the basis of § 744.11 (License requirements that apply to entities acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States) of the EAR. The fourteen entries added to the entity list consist of three entries in Iraq, one entry in the Philippines, four entries in Syria, and six entries in Turkey. There are fourteen entries for the ten persons because two of the persons are listed in multiple locations, resulting in four additional entries.
The ERC reviewed § 744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity List) in making the determination to add these ten persons under fourteen entries to the Entity List. Under that paragraph, persons and those acting on behalf of such persons may be added to the Entity List if there is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that they have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in, activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. Paragraphs (b)(1) through (5) of § 744.11 include an illustrative list of activities that could be contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.
Pursuant to § 744.11(b)(1) of the EAR, the ERC determined that nine persons, located in the destinations of Iraq, Syria and Turkey, be added to the Entity List for actions contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. The ERC determined that there is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that Sekirin (Sekirin Tekstil lthalat Ihracat Ic ve Dis Ticaret Limited Sirketi), Yildiz (Ag Yildiz Insaat Gayrimenkul Tasimacilik Pazarlama Ithalat Ihracat ve Ticaret Ltd. Sirketi), and their seven associates (Luqman Yasin Yunus Shgragi, Yunus Luqman Yasin Shgragi, Abd Al Hakim Luqman Jasim Muhammad, Muhammad `ulwan Al-Shawi, Ala al-Shawi, Ali Guzel, and Jamal Jum'ah al-Shawi) have been involved in actions contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. Sekirin, Yildiz, and their seven associates have been involved in activities that are contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States by supporting persons engaged in acts of terror as set forth in § 744.11(b)(1) of the EAR. Specifically, these entities have been providing logistical and material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
In addition, pursuant to § 744.11(b), the ERC determined that one person, located in the Philippines, should be added to the Entity List for actions contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. The ERC determined that there is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that Warren Sumaylo, has been involved in actions contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. Specifically, in July 2014, Warren Sumaylo was indicted for exporting weapon sights and rifle scopes to the Philippines in violation of the EAR and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
Pursuant to § 744.11(b) of the EAR, the ERC determined that the conduct of these ten persons raises sufficient concern that prior review of exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) of items subject to the EAR involving these persons, and the possible imposition of license conditions or license denials on shipments to the persons, will enhance BIS's ability to prevent violations of the EAR. Therefore, these ten persons are being added to the Entity List under fourteen entries.
For the ten persons under fourteen entries added to the Entity List, BIS imposes a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR and a license review policy of presumption of denial. The license requirements apply to any transaction in which items are to be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) to any of the persons or in which such persons act as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end-user. 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. The acronym “a.k.a.” (also known as) is used in entries on the Entity List to help exporters, reexporters and transferors better identify listed persons on the Entity List.
This final rule adds the following ten persons under fourteen entries to the Entity List:
(1) Abd Al Hakim Luqman Jasim Muhammad,
