Wassenaar Arrangement 2013 Plenary Agreements Implementation: Commerce Control List, Definitions, and Reports; and Extension of Fly-by-Wire...
Wassenaar Arrangement 2013 Plenary Agreements Implementation: Commerce Control List, Definitions, and Reports; and Extension of Fly-by-Wire Technology and Software Controls���DATES: This rule is effective August 4, 2014, except the amendments to parts 734, 743, and ECCN 4A003 (amendatory instructions: 2, 9, and 28), which are effective on August 30, 2014.���FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general questions contact Sharron Cook, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce at 202-482-2440 or by email: Sharron.Cook@bis.doc.gov.���For technical questions contact:Categories 0, 1 & 2: Michael Rithmire at 202-482-6105Category 3: Brian Baker at 202-482-5534Categories 4 & 5: ITCD staff 202-482-0707Category 6 (optics): Chris Costanzo at 202-482-0718Category 6 (lasers): Mark Jaso at 202-482-0987Category 6 (sensors and cameras): John Varesi 202-482-1114Category 7: Jaymi Love 202-482-6581Category 8: Darrell Spires 202-482-1954Category 9: Daniel Squire 202-482-3710���SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies is a group of 41 like-minded states committed to promoting responsibility and transparency in the global arms trade, and preventing destabilizing accumulations of arms. As a Participating State, the United States has committed to controlling for export all items on the WA control lists. The lists were first established in 1996 and have been revised annually thereafter. Proposals for changes to the WA control lists that achieve consensus are approved by Participating States at annual December Plenary meetings. Participating States are charged with implementing the agreed list changes as soon as possible after approval. Implementation of WA list changes ensures U.S. companies have a level playing field with their competitors in other WA member states.���Unless otherwise indicated, the changes to the EAR described below are made in order to implement changes to the WA control lists approved at the December 2013 Plenary meeting.Revisions to the Commerce Control ListCategory 0--Nuclear Materials, Facilities, and Equipment [And Miscellaneous Items]0A018 Items on the Wassenaar Munitions List���In paragraph 0A018.b, the text that previously stated that an item is subject to the license authority of the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls was universally changed to "subject to the ITAR" in the Export Control Reform revisions (78 FR 61874, October 4, 2013). Therefore the new language is inserted here.���A Note is added to paragraph 0A018.b that states that 0A018.b does not apply to: "components" for ammunition crimped without a projectile (blank star); dummy ammunition with a pierced powder chamber; or other blank and dummy ammunition not incorporating components designed for live ammunition. These components do not pose a threat to national security and are now designated EAR99.Category 1--Special Materials and Related Equipment, Chemicals, "Microorganisms," and "Toxins"1A004 (Protective and detection equipment and "components," not "specially designed" for military use)���ECCN 1A004 is amended by adding Technical Notes after the Note following the introductory text to paragraph 1A004.a in the items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section to clarify that filter canisters include filter cartridges.1B001 (Equipment for the production or inspection of "composite" structures or laminates controlled by 1A002 or "fibrous or filamentary materials" controlled by 1C010 . . .)���ECCN 1B001 is amended by revising the text of 1B001.b (`Tape-laying machines') and 1B001.g (`Tow-placement machines') to remove ambiguity with the current controls, which may result in a double coverage in controls or no control at all. A Technical Note is added to 1B001.b to explain the abilities of `tape-laying machines.' A Technical Note is added to 1B001.g to explain the abilities of `tow-placement machines.' The Technical Notes establish 25 mm as the break point between tape-laying and tow-placement machines, with the intent to distinguish both the tape-laying and tow-placement machines from the filament winding machines specified in 1B001.a. In addition, the existing Technical Note regarding `primary servo positioning' axes control is now Technical Note 1 and a Technical Note 2 is added to define `filament band.'1C008 (Non-fluorinated polymeric substances)���ECCN 1C008 is amended by revising paragraphs a.3 and .f in the Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section to relax the controls on aromatic polyimides in 1C008.a.3 based on the foreign availability of this material. The current validation procedures are limited in accuracy to very small samples. Removal of these validation procedures and reference to national standards in the 1C008 Technical Notes provides a simpler and cleaner text. In order to accommodate the newly referenced testing method, Technical Note 1 is revised and a new Technical Note 2 is added to the existing 1C008 Technical Note. These changes do not affect the scope of the other paragraphs in 1C008.1C010 ("Fibrous or filamentary materials")���ECCN 1C010 is amended by removing the Technical Note after paragraph b.2 and adding Technical Notes after the Note following paragraph c.2 in the Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section. These changes are made to remove ambiguity regarding the determination of the specific tensile strength and modulus that are specified in various 1C010 entries, especially when the 1C010 tensile properties metrics are applied to various forms of multi-axial materials (woven fabrics, random mats and braids).���Also, a comma is added after the word "pitch" in paragraph e.2.a to correct the punctuation.Annex to Category 1 "List of Explosives"���The List of Explosives is amended by revising paragraphs 32.d and 43, removing and reserving paragraph 34 and adding paragraphs 44 through 48. Paragraph 32 is amended by changing the square brackets to parentheses to read "BDNTA ([bis-dinitrotriazole] amine); ((bis-dinitrotriazole) amine);" to be consistent with the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) conventions. The deletion of paragraph 34 is a result of a class of energetics that has short-term high temperature capability, which is no longer in demand. Paragraph 43 is amended by changing the semi-colon to a period at the end of the entry to accommodate the addition of paragraphs to follow. Paragraphs 44 through 48 are added to address the trend towards `Insensitive Munitions.' Insensitive munitions are chemically stable enough to withstand mechanical shock, fire, and impact by shrapnel, but can still explode as intended to destroy their targets.Category 2--Materials Processing"Technical Notes for 2B001 to 2B009, 2B201, 2B290 and 2B991 to 2B999"���"Technical Notes for 2B001 to 2B009, 2B201, 2B290 and 2B991 to 2B999" is amended by revising paragraph .f of the Note to paragraph 5 in order to update the thresholds to ensure the rules regarding stated accuracy remain consistent in Category 2.2B006 (Dimensional inspection or measuring systems, equipment, and "electronic assemblies")���ECCN 2B006 is amended by revising paragraphs b.1.b., b.1.c.2.b, and the introductory text of paragraph b.2 in the Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section. 2B006.b.1.b is revised to clarify the controls of certain displacement measuring instruments (Linear Variable Differential Transformer--LVDT). 2B006.b.2 is amended to delete the current definition for "angular position deviation" and to add the word "accuracy" in this entry. The definition refers to a standard that not only is out of date, but no longer published. WA decided that the definition of "accuracy" could be useful to clarify the assessment of accuracy of angular displacement measuring instruments for this entry.2D002 ("Software" for electronic devices, even when residing in an electronic device or system, enabling such devices or systems to function as a "numerical control" unit, capable of coordinating simultaneously more than 4 axes for "contouring control".)���The term "machine tools" is replaced with "items" in Notes 1 and 3 to clarify the scope of control on software for electronic devices or systems capable of controlling 5 or more axes.Category 3--Electronics3A001 (Electronic components and "specially designed" "components" therefor)���ECCN 3A001 is amended by removing Notes 3 and 4 from the Related Control Notes paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section, because they refer to ECCN 3A982, which is removed by this rule.���ECCN 3A001 is amended by revising Note 2 to paragraph 3A001.a, paragraphs a.5.a.1, a.7.b, b.2., b.3, and b.4; adding a Technical Note after the introductory text to paragraph 3A001.b; and revising Note 3 to paragraph 3A001.h.���"Three dimensional integrated circuits" are added to Note 2 to paragraph 3A001.a, because a new approach to improve the functionality and performance of integrated circuits is using a 3D integrated circuit (3D-IC).���Paragraph 3A001.a.5.a.1 (High Performance Analog-to-Digital Integrated Circuits) is amended by replacing the output rate of "greater than 500 million words per second" to "greater than 1 billion words per second" to update the Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) control thresholds for the 8 and 9 bit resolution ADCs to reflect the advances in technology used in the commercial cellular communications and oscilloscope applications.���Paragraph 3A001.a.7.b is amended by replacing "or" with "of" to make a correction submitted by a Technical Advisory Committee member.���A Technical Note is added to 3A001.b to set forth alternative terms for "peak saturated power output" that may appear on product data sheets.���This rule makes a series of changes regarding microwave or millimeter wave components specified by entries 3A001.b.2 (Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits--MMIC), 3A001.b.3 (Discrete microwave transistors) and 3A001.b.4 (Microwave solid state amplifiers). The changes are intended to add a frequency bandwidth (2.7-3.2 GHz) to each of the existing entries 3A001.b.2, b.3 and b.4. The changes also aim at modernizing the control text over the entire controlled spectrum by replacing the current control parameter ` average power' with ` peak saturated power.'���A comma is added to Note 3 to paragraph 3A001.h to correct the punctuation. The addition of the comma makes the modifying phrase (incorporated into equipment designed for civil automobile, civil railway, or "civil aircraft" applications) apply to all three nouns (switches, diodes, and modules).3A002 (General purpose electronic)���ECCN 3A002 is amended by revising the Heading; revising License Exception GBS and CIV paragraphs; revising the introductory text to paragraph .a; removing and reserving paragraphs a.1 through a.4; revising paragraph a.6; adding paragraph a.7; revising the introductory text to paragraph d.1.; and revising Technical Note 2 that appears after paragraph d.5.���The Heading is amended by removing the phrase "and accessories therefor." The only accessories enumerated in 3A002 are test tapes in 3A002.a, which are test tapes for instruments described in 3A002.a.1 through 3A002.a.4. As 3A002.a.1 through 3A002.a.4 are removed and reserved by this rule, the reference to "accessories" is no longer needed.���Paragraphs 3A002.a.1 through a.4 are removed and reserved because magnetic instrumentation tape recorders are obsolete technology. The replacement technology is magnetic disk storage, for which instruments remain controlled in 3A002.a.6.���Paragraph 3A002.a.6 (Digital instrumentation data recorders) is revised to address a potential loophole for digital instrumentation recorders that do not digitize data but rather receive digitized data from external digitizers.���This rule adds new entry 3A002.a.7 to control very high-speed oscilloscopes that are used to develop and test military radars, communications systems, and electronic warfare systems. The values used in this new control are intended to separate the highest performing oscilloscopes from those used for more routine commercial applications. Consequential changes are also made in the introductory text to 3A002.a with the addition of `and oscilloscopes.'���Paragraph 3A002.d.1 is amended by replacing "pulses" with "pulse-modulated signals" to clarify that "pulses" more accurately refers to signals that are pulse modulated.���Technical Note 2 that appears after paragraph 3A002.d.5 is amended to introduce the industrial norm of `pulse duration' and its measurement.3A982, 3D982 and 3E982 (Microwave or millimeter wave components)���ECCNs 3A982 and associated software (3D982) and technology (3E982) are removed from the Commerce Control List (CCL). These ECCNs are removed because the microwave and millimeter wave components identified in this entry were discussed and agreed for inclusion in the WA 2013 Plenary updates to 3A001.b.2 and 3A001.b.3. Software "specially designed" for the development or production of equipment controlled by 3A001.b is controlled under ECCN 3D001. Technology for the development or production of 3A001.b is controlled under ECCN 3E001. Because the items of concern are now controlled in these new entries, the need for ECCNs 3A982, 3D982 and 3E982 is eliminated.3A991 (Electronic devices, and "components" not controlled by 3A001)���ECCN 3A991 is amended by revising paragraph .d (field programmable logic devices) in the items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section. The parameters are changed from "gate count" and "toggle frequency" to "maximum number of single-ended digital input/outputs." The control level is set at "200 or greater and less than 500." This is to align 3A991 parameters with 3A001.a.7.a parameters for these types of devices.���3C005 (Silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN) . . .) is amended by adding "semiconductor" to the Heading to clarify the scope of this entry, because the goods that should be controlled by this entry are substrates of semiconductor materials, which are generally referred to as wafers.3E002 ("Technology" according to the General Technology Note other than that controlled in 3E001 for the "development" or "production" of a "microprocessor microcircuit," "micro-computer microcircuit" and microcontroller microcircuit core, having an arithmetic logic unit with an access width of 32 bits or more and any of the following features or characteristics)���ECCN 3E002.b is amended by replacing "two 64-bit or larger floating-point operation results per cycle" with "four 64-bit or larger floating-point operation results per cycle" to update the control text to maintain control of leading edge technology and decontrol that technology no longer considered state-of-the-art.Category 4--ComputersECCN 4A003 ("Digital computers," "electronic assemblies" and related equipment therefor)���The AT license requirement paragraph is revised to update the Adjusted Peak Performance (APP) upper limit in the range in the cross reference to ECCN 4A994 from 3.0 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT) to 8.0 WT to harmonize with the change to 4A003.b.���The Congressional notification requirement set forth in subsections 1211(d) and (e) of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 1998 (Pub. L. 105-85, November 18, 1997, 111 Stat. 1932) provide that the President must submit a report to Congress 60 days before adjusting the composite theoretical performance level above which exports of digital computers to Tier 3 countries require a license. The President sent a report to Congress on July 1, 2014 that establishes and provides justification for the 8.0 WT control level using the APP formula.���The APP in the Note in the License Requirements section is changed from 3.0 WT to 8.0 WT to harmonize with the change to 4A003.b. This paragraph explains that no license is required for computers with an APP not exceeding 8.0 WT and for electronic assemblies described in 4A003.c that are not capable of exceeding an APP exceeding 8.0 WT in aggregation, except to destinations in Country Group E:1 of Supplement No. 1 to part 740.���The APP in 4A003.b for digital computers is raised from 3.0 WT to 8.0 WT, because multi-core processor technology has continued to advance rapidly as feature size shrinks. Most high-performance computer systems use processors with four, eight, or more cores as the compute engine, and each core also has greater double-precision floating point capabilities.4D001 ("Software" for digital computers)���List based License Exception TSR eligibility and License Exception STA conditions are amended by raising the APP from 0.5 WT to 1.0 WT to align with revision to 4D001 in the WA Sensitive List. The control parameter for software for digital computers is amended by raising the APP from 0.25 to 0.60 WT in paragraph 4D001.b.1, in order to maintain control on leading-edge software for the development or production of digital computers.4E001 ("Technology" for the development or production of digital computers)���List based License Exception TSR eligibility and License Exception STA conditions are amended by raising the APP from 0.5 WT to 1.0 WT to align with revision to 4E001 in the WA Sensitive List. The control parameter for software for digital computers is amended by raising the APP from 0.25 to 0.60 WT in paragraph 4E001.b.1, in order to maintain control on leading-edge technology for the development or production of digital computers.Category 5 Part 1--"Telecommunications"5A001 (Telecommunications systems, equipment, "components" and "accessories")���A comma is added to 5A001.b.1.d to correct the punctuation and clarify the meaning of the sentence.���In 5A001.b.5.b, the term "frequency switching time" is replaced by "channel switching time" and a Technical Note is added to define `channel switching time.' The definition for "frequency switching time" had been crafted for the purposes of defining a signal generator's characteristics more so than a radio receiver's. The change in term and definition will help clarify its interpretation for both signal generators specified under 3A002.d, as well as radio receivers specified by 5A001.b.5.5E001 ("Technology")���ECCN 5E001.d is amended to align with the revisions made to ECCN 3A001.b. The changes are intended to add a frequency bandwidth (2.7-3.2 GHz) to 5E001.d. The changes also modernize the control text over the entire controlled spectrum in 5E001.d by replacing the current control parameter ` average power' with ` peak saturated power.'Category 5 Part 2--"Information Security"���Category 5 Part 2 is amended by revising paragraph b of Note 3. `Executable software' is added to Note 3, as well as a Technical Note to define `executable software' as " "software" in executable form, from an existing hardware component excluded from 5A002 by the Cryptography Note." A Note is also added after the Technical Note that states, " `Executable software' does not include complete binary images of the "software" running on an end-item." Encryption is increasingly a commonplace functionality implemented by `mass market' Information and Communications Technology (ICT) products. Moreover, cryptographic functionality is often implemented in "software," with comparable capability found in hardware. This revision ensures that all such comparable components of `mass market' products are given equal treatment under the Cryptography Note.���Category 5 Part 2 is amended by moving the Technical Note at the end of Note 4 to after 5A002.a.1.a. The Technical Note states, "Parity bits are not included in the key length." so that it now immediately follows the text to which it refers. Within Category 5 Part 2, the topic of `parity bits' is only relevant to how key lengths are calculated and considered, and 5A002.a.1 is the only paragraph that involves key lengths.5A002 ("Information security" systems, equipment "components" therefor).���An editorial correction is made to paragraph (i) of the 5A002 decontrol note to remove "or" from the end of paragraph (i). "Or" is added to paragraph (j) of the 5A002 decontrol Note, because of the addition of paragraph (k). Paragraph (k) "mobile telecommunications Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment designed for civil use . . ." is added to the 5A002 decontrol Note. Domestic small cells for use in the home offer telecommunications service providers a way to roll out their networks without the need to install expensive infrastructure. Using their customer's Internet connections, they can backhaul data from their subscribers in the immediate vicinity of a small cell. These items are designed to be simple to install by anyone, and in many cases are mass market items. However, these items are not always marketed in a way that allows the application of Note 3 in Category 5 Part 2, because in some countries the sale of some small cells is restricted to privileged customers or high value individuals, and some have restrictions on where they may be used.���This rule amends the Nota Bene after the introductory text of paragraph .a by adding the phrase, ", and for related decryption "software" and "technology" see 7D005 and 7E001." This is a consequential change to harmonize with the addition of ECCN 7D005 " "Software" specially designed to decrypt Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) ranging signals designed for government use" and related technology in ECCN 7E001, and to ensure that GNSS-related software and technology resides in Cat 7 only and is not spread across two Categories, which may be undesirable and cause confusion.���Paragraph 3 in the Technical Note to 5A001.a.1 is moved to the definition for "cryptography" in SEC 772.1 of the EAR, because paragraph 3 applies directly and broadly to the definition of "cryptography."���The Note to 5A002.a.1 is removed because it is redundant. 5A002.a.1 controls the implementation of "cryptography" utilizing `digital techniques' regardless of what types of `principles' (i.e., whether `analog' or otherwise) these `digital techniques' are based on.���The introductory text to paragraph a.9 is amended by adding the phrase "or perform" to clarify the scope of the control. The whole text reads, "Designed or modified to use or perform `quantum cryptography.'"Category 6--Sensors and Lasers6A001 (Acoustic systems, equipment and components)���Note 3 is added to the introductory paragraph a.1.c, in order to clarify that 6A001.a.1.c applies to projectors or transducers designed and manufactured using either of two high performance transduction materials: 1) lead-magnesium-niobate/lead-titanate (Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)O 3 -PbTiO 3, or PMN-PT), or 2) lead-indium-niobate/lead-magnesium-niobate/lead-titanate (Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2)O 3 - Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3)O 3 - PbTiO 3, PIN-PMN-PT). These materials are currently being used in medical ultrasound applications, but are increasingly being used in high performance military and civil projectors and transducers.���In the Technical Note below paragraph a.1.c.2, a single quotation mark is added to the beginning of the term `acoustic power density' to add the missing single quotation mark.���Paragraph a.1.e (Active individual sonars, "specially designed" or modified to detect, locate and automatically classify swimmers or divers) is amended by adding the phrase "and "specially designed" transmitting and receiving acoustic arrays therefor," in order to control critical components of such systems.���Paragraph a.2.a.3.d (Lead-magnesium-niobate/lead-titanate (i.e., Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3, or PMN-PT) piezoelectric single crystals grown from solid solution) and paragraph a.2.a.3.e (Lead-indium-niobate/lead-magnesium niobate/lead-titanate (i.e., Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3, or PIN-PMN-PT) piezoelectric single crystals grown from solid solution) are added as parameters for hydrophone sensing elements, because PMN-PT and PIN-PMN-PT single crystals are a new generation of piezoelectric materials that exhibit superior piezoelectric properties over PZT ceramics. Hydrophones designed using PIN-PMN-PT have greater bandwidth and sensitivity, as well as lower self-noise.���Paragraph a.2.b.8 (Accelerometer-based hydro-acoustic sensors specified by 6A001.a.2.g) is added as a parameter for towed acoustic hydrophone arrays because these sensors are useful for military applications.���Paragraph a.2.e.3 (Incorporating accelerometer-based hydro-acoustic sensors specified by 6A001.a.2.g) is added as a parameter for bottom or bay-cable hydrophone arrays because these sensors are useful for military applications. Consequential editorial revisions are made to paragraphs a.2.e.1 (removing an "or") and a.2.e.2.b (adding an "or"), because of the addition of paragraph a.2.e.3.���Paragraph a.2.g (Accelerometer-based hydro-acoustic sensors) is added under passive marine acoustic systems, equipment, and specially designed components therefor, because these sensors are useful for military applications. A Note is included to clarify that 6A001.a.2.g does not apply to particle velocity sensors or geophones. Two Technical Notes are added to inform the reader that accelerometer-based hydro-acoustic sensors are also known as vector sensors, and to include a definition for the term `acceleration sensitivity,' which is used in the parameters for these sensors.6A005 ("Lasers," "components" and optical equipment)���In the NP License Requirement paragraph, the existing text is replaced with "NP applies to "lasers" that exceed the parameters of 6A205." The License Requirement Note pertaining to NP controls is removed.���References to 6A005.b.6.c.2 and 6A005.b.6.c.2.b are changed to 6A005.b.6.d.2 and 6A005.b.6.d.2.b in the License Exceptions GBS and CIV eligibility paragraphs. These are consequential changes due to the revisions in 6A005.b.6.���References to 6A005.a.6.b.1 and 6A005.b.6 are added after the definition for `wall-plug efficiency' in the Related Definitions paragraph. The definition for `non-repetitive pulsed' is added to the Related Definitions paragraph with references to where the term is used: Note 2 of 6A005 and 6A005.d.6.���Note 2 at the beginning of the Items paragraph is revised by adding single quotes to the term `non-repetitieve pulsed' and a Technical Note is added to Note 2 to define `non-repetitive pulsed' to improve the understanding of Note 2.���The Technical Note that defines `non-repetitive pulsed' is moved from 6A005.d.6 to after Note 2, where it is first used in 6A005. The definition is also added to the Related Definitions paragraph, because it is used more than once in 6A005.���Note 2 is added to 6A005.a.6.b to describe multiple transverse mode industrial "lasers" that are not controlled under 6A005.a.6.b. This Note includes a Technical Note to define `brightness.'���The parameters in paragraph 6A005.b.4, b.5, and b.6 are revised to reset the control level below the level for which military utility can be achieved for lasers with pulse durations less than 1 picosecond. Consequential changes are made to distinguish or move paragraphs that pertain to lasers with pulse durations equal to or exceeding 1 picosecond. Here is where they were located and where they move to: b.4.a to b.4.b.1; b.4.b to b.4.b.2; b.5.a to b.5.b; b.5.b to b.5.c; b.6.a to b.6.b; b.6.b to b.6.c; and b.6.c to b.6.d. Consequential changes within ECCN 6A005 include: correcting references to these paragraphs that have moved in the NP paragraph of the License Requirements section, License Requirement paragraphs: (b) and (f), and License Exceptions GBS and CIV eligibility paragraphs. Consequential changes outside of ECCN 6A005 include revising the Related Controls Note 3 in ECCN 6A205 and the Heading of ECCN 6E201 to correct references to these paragraphs that have moved.6A007 (Gravity meters (gravimeters) and gravity gradiometers)���Paragraph 6A007.a is amended by removing "[mu]gal" and adding in its place "[mu]Gal" to correct the scientific abbreviation for microgal (one millionth of a gal). The gal, sometimes called galileo, (symbol Gal) is a unit of acceleration used extensively in the science of gravimetry. The gal is defined as 1 centimeter per second squared (1 cm/s2).���Paragraphs b.1 and b.2 are amended by removing "mgal" and adding in its place "mGal" to correct the scientific abbreviation for milligal (one thousandth of a gal). The gal, sometimes called galileo, (symbol Gal) is a unit of acceleration used extensively in the science of gravimetry. The gal is defined as 1 centimeter per second squared (1 cm/s2).���A Technical Note is added to 6A007.b to define `time-to-steady-state registration,' which is used in 6A007.b.2, to make the control text clearer and more effective.6A008 (Radar systems, equipment and assemblies, having any of the following (see List of Items Controlled section), and "specially designed" "components" therefor)���Paragraph 6A008.k.2 is amended by adding the adjective "compressed" and by adding a Note to decontrol two dimensional `marine radar' or `vessel traffic service' radar from 6A008.k.2. Solid state devices, which apply "pulse compression," are replacing magnetron devices as a component of marine radars and Vessel Traffic Safety (VTS) radars for safety navigation. This revision decontrols such radars for safety navigation incorporating solid state devices from 6A008.k.2.���The Note to 6A008.l.1 is amended by revising the phase "marine or harbor radar" to read `marine radar,' as well as adding single quotes around the term `marine radar.'���The Note following the paragraph l.4 is amended by revising the paragraph it applies to from 6A008.l.4 to 6A008.l, as well as changing the term "marine traffic control" to single quoted `vessel traffic services.'���Technical Notes are added to the end of the Items paragraph of 6A008 to define `marine radar' and `vessel traffic service.'6A205 ("Lasers," "laser" amplifiers and oscillators, other than those controlled by 6A005) ECCN 6A205 is amended by removing the reference to "6A005.b.6.b" and adding in its place "6A005.b.6.c" in paragraph (3) of the Related Controls paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section, to harmonize with revisions to 6A005 in this rule.6B007 (Equipment to produce, align and calibrate land-based gravity meters with a static accuracy of better than 0.1 mgal)���The Heading is amended by replacing "mgal" with "mGal" to correct the scientific unit abbreviation for milligal (one thousandth of a gal). The gal, sometimes called galileo, (symbol Gal) is a unit of acceleration used extensively in the science of gravimetry. The gal is defined as 1 centimeter per second squared (1 cm/s2).6D001 (Software specially designed for the development or production of equipment controlled by 6A004, 6A005, 6A008 or 6B008)���This rule removes the Nuclear Proliferation (NP) license requirement paragraph from the License Requirements section of 6D001, because the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) Annex does not list software controls for any of the equipment identified in the heading of 6D001.6E201 (Technology for "use" of specified equipment in Category 6)���The Heading of ECCN 6E201 is amended by revising references to 6A005 to harmonize with revisions to the items paragraph of 6A005 and the NP controls of 6A005 in this rule. In order to determine NP controls on 6A005 commodities, you must analyze 6A205 to determine if the commodities meet or exceed the parameters of commodities in 6A205. If the 6A005 commodities meet or exceed the parameters of 6A205 commodities, then the 6A005 commodity is NP controlled. If the 6A005 commodity is NP controlled, then the "use" technology for it is classified in 6E201.Category 7--Navigation and Avionics7A002 (Gyros or angular rate sensors, having any of the following (see List of Items Controlled section) and "specially designed" "components" therefor)���The Note to 7A002.a.1.b in the Items paragraph is amended by replacing the single quotes with double quotes around the term "spinning mass gyros," as the Technical Note below this Note that defined this term is deleted and the term is now defined in SEC 772.1 of the EAR. Terms used in multiple locations are generally not locally defined and indicated by single quotes, but are defined in SEC 772.1 of the EAR and are indicated with double quotes.���Paragraph 7A002.a.2.a is amended by revising the "bias" "stability" from "less (better) than 40 degrees per hour" to "less (better) than 4 degrees per hour." Paragraph 7A002.a.2.b is amended by revising the "angle random walk" from "less (better) than or equal to 0.2 degree per square root hour" to "less (better) than or equal to 0.1 degree per square root hour." These changes are made in consideration of commercial and technological development in the area of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). The Note to 7A002.a.2.b is amended by replacing the single quotes with double quotes around the term "spinning mass gyros."7A003 (`Inertial measurement equipment or systems')���The Heading is amended by using a more general phrase, `inertial measurement equipment or systems' instead of `inertial systems' to encompass the breadth of controlled products. The Heading establishes a "having any of the following" structure regarding the functionalities that follow, which is intended to better accommodate multiple-output equipment. This new text is not intended to change the scope of the entry, but to better specify the inertial equipment to facilitate easier evaluation by licensing officers.���"Specially designed components" no longer appear in the Heading or in the List of Items Controlled section. "Specially designed components" that should be controlled are specified in 7A001 (Accelerometers) and 7A002 (Gyros).���The definition for the term "Data-Based Referenced Navigation" ("DBRN") Systems is removed from the Related Definitions paragraph, because this definition is moved to SEC 772.1. Defined terms that are used in multiple ECCNs are placed in SEC 772.1 and this term is used in 7A003, 7D003 and 7E004.���A new note (Note 1) has been added at the beginning of the Items paragraph in order to help readers better understand the scope of the entry. In addition to describing the basic functionality of these products, the new note also provides a list of the most commonly used product names.���A Technical Note below 7A003.a explains how to assess the performance depending on the application that is typical for that system (air, land and sea platforms). There are different controls for different types of products and the Technical Note provides instructions on how to apply these controls, i.e., 7A003.a.1, 7A003.a.2 and 7A003.a.3 typically apply to `inertial measurement equipment or systems' designed for "aircraft," vehicles, and vessels, respectively. Even though there is now a control specifically for navigation equipment for land vehicles, it is important to note that the control limit applied is not intended to control civilian car navigation equipment.���Space qualified systems are now specified in 7A003.d because these are systems and not components specified by 7A002. Note the reference to "spacecraft" is removed from the current text of 7A003.a, because inertial equipment for "spacecraft" does not provide position.7D003 (Other "software," as specified)���7D003.c ("Source code" for integrated avionics or mission systems which combine sensor data and employ "expert systems") is removed and reserved, because no mission management systems employing "expert systems" could be identified. The definition for "expert systems" is also removed from SEC 772.1 as a consequential change. The reference to 7D003.c is removed from the STA paragraph in the Special Conditions for STA section as well.7D004 ("Source code" incorporating "development" "technology" specified by 7E004.a.1 to a.6 or 7E004.b.)���The Heading for 7D004 is amended by revising the reference to "7E004.a" to read "7E004.a.1 to a.6" to specify only the technology relevant to flight control source code in 7D004.7D005 ("Software" "specially designed" to decrypt Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) ranging signals designed for government use)���ECCN 7D005 is added to close a loophole in the controls which are associated with the control of receivers for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS); there is no entry which explicitly includes the software which performs the data processing of the relevant signals. It also takes into account the fact that GNSS receivers making use of encrypted signals do not actually contain the decrypt algorithms and software. The new entry will capture the software of concern irrespective of whether it is intended to reside in a receiver or elsewhere, for example a secure server. This software is controlled for NS:1 and AT:1 reasons and will require a license to all destinations, except Canada. No list-based license exceptions are available for this ECCN; however, License Exception STA may be available, as well as transaction based license exceptions as outlined in Part 740 of the EAR.7E001 ("Technology" according to the General Technology Note for the "development" of equipment or "software," specified by 7.A., 7.B., 7D001., 7D002., or 7D003, or 7D005)���ECCN 7D005 is added to the Heading and the NS license requirement paragraph of 7E001 to control "development" "software" specified in 7D005 to close a loophole in the controls which are associated with the control of receivers for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). This technology is controlled under NS:1 and AT:1 to all destinations, except Canada. No list-based license exceptions or License Exception STA are available for this ECCN. A Note is added to clarify that 7E001 includes key management "technology" exclusively for equipment specified in 7A005.a to capture development technology used to produce potentially controlled software, including the development of decryption algorithms.7E004 (Other "technology" as specified)���ECCN 7E004 is amended by removing and reserving paragraph b.6 (Full authority digital flight control or multisensory mission management system, employing "expert systems") and removing the Nota Bene below it, because no such system could be identified.Category 8--Marine8A002 (Marine systems, equipment, "parts" and "components,")���Paragraph 8A002.i.2 in the Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section is amended by deleting the phrase "or by using a dedicated computer," because it has been found that remotely controlled articulated manipulators specially designed or modified for use with submersible vehicles do not use a control method by a dedicated computer anymore, with the development of new technology.���The Technical Note below 8A002.i.2 is amended by adding the phrase "related motion" to clarify the control and by removing the phrase "or by using a dedicated computer" for reasons stated in the previous paragraph.���A Nota Bene is added below the Note that follows paragraph q.2 to reference 8A620.f for equipment and devices "specially designed" for military use.Category 9--Aerospace and Propulsion9A001 (Aero gas turbine engines)���The Note to 9A001.a is revised to be Note 1, in order to add Note 2.���Note 2 is added following 9A001.a to state that "9A001.a does not apply to aero gas turbine engines for Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) approved by the civil aviation authority in a Wassenaar Arrangement Participating State, see Supplement No. 1 to part 743 of the EAR."Supplement No. 2 to Part 774 "General Technology and Software Notes"���Supplement No. 2 to part 774 "General Technology and Software Notes" is amended by removing the phrase "operation, maintenance (checking), and repair" and adding in its place "operation, maintenance (checking), or repair" in the General Technology Note. This change is made to clarify that technology meeting any one of the aspects listed is controlled and does not have to meet all of the aspects to be controlled.Supplement No. 5 to Part 774 "Items Classified Under ECCNS 0A521, 0B521, 0C521, 0D521 and 0E521"���Supplement No. 5 to part 774 "Items Classified Under ECCNS 0A521, 0B521, 0C521, 0D521 and 0E521" is amended by extending the expiration date to June 20, 2015 for 0D521 No. 2 and 0E521 No. 6, which is "source code" for the "development" of fly-by-wire control systems and specified "technology" for fly-by-wire control systems. The extension is justified because Wassenaar proposals are being negotiated to add this source code and technology to the WA List.Supplement No. 6 to Part 774 "Sensitive List"���Paragraphs (4)(ii) 4D001and (4)(iii) 4E001 are amended by revising the APP from 0.5 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT) to 1.0 WT.���Paragraph (7)(iv) 7D003.c is removed and reserved to harmonize with the removal of this paragraph from the CCL.���This rule redesignates paragraphs (7)(v) and (7)(vi) to read (7)(vi) and (7)(vii), and adds new paragraph (7)(v) "7D004.a to .d and .g" to correct the oversight of dropping the Sensitive List entry when this software moved from 7D003 to 7D004.Sec. 734.4 " De minimis US Content"���Previously, foreign-made computers with an APP of 3.0 WT located in a foreign country are not eligible for the application of the de minimis rules when they contain U.S.-origin controlled semiconductors (other than memory circuits) classified under ECCN 3A001 and are destined to a country in Computer Tier 3 of Section 740.7 of the EAR. This rule increases the APP parameter from 3.0 WT to 8.0 WT in SEC 734.4(a) to harmonize with the revision made to ECCN 4A003.Supplement No. 1 to Part 738 "Commerce Country Chart"���Mexico was added as a Wassenaar Participating State in 2011. It was added as an Australia Group member in 2013. In 2013, it was also added to the Nuclear Suppliers Group. Therefore, BIS has decided to remove the "X" for Mexico under columns NS:2 and RS:2.Sec. 740.13 License Exception TSU���Section 740.13 is amended by replacing the phrase "operation, maintenance (checking), and repair" with "operation, maintenance (checking), or repair" in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(1). The same change was made to the General Software Note of the Wassenaar List, which is the Note License Exception TSU is based upon. Instead of meeting all of four of the listed characteristics (installation, operation, maintenance (checking), and repair), now the technology would only have to meet one of the four characteristics to be considered "operation technology."Sec. 740.20 License Exception STA���This rule removes and reserves paragraph (b)(2)(ix) that restricted the use of License Exception STA for 3A982 (Microwave or millimeter wave components that operate at frequencies below those controlled by 3A001). This change is being made because ECCN 3A982 is removed by this rule and because the microwave and millimeter wave components identified in that ECCN are now controlled under 3A001.b.2 and 3A001.b.3.Section 743.2 "High Performance Computers: Post Shipment Verification Reporting"���This section outlines special post-shipment reporting requirements for the export of certain computers to destinations in Computer Tier 3 of License Exception APP (Section 740.7 of the EAR). The reporting requirement applies to high performance computers exported to a destination in Computer Tier 3, as well as to exports of commodities used to enhance computers previously exported or reexported to Computer Tier 3 destinations, where the "APP is greater than 3.0 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT). This rule increases that APP level from 3.0 WT to 8.0 WT in accordance with the WA agreement to increase the APP in ECCN 4A003.Part 772 Definitions���While the WA agreed to remove the definition for "angular position deviation" from the WA list definitions, BIS is not removing the term from SEC 772.1 of the EAR, because this term is still used in 2B206.b.2 and .c.���The definition for "cryptography" is amended by adding the phrase "`secret parameters' (e.g., crypto variables) and/or associated key management," as well as adding a Technical Note that defines `secret parameters.' The `secret parameter' phrase and Technical Note were agreed upon by WA in 2012, but were inadvertently missed in the drafting of the implementation rule. These additions occurred in the context of establishing preventative measures for reverse engineering that is occurring during analysis of failures in integrated circuits. Also, the Technical Note in 5A002.a that explains that "cryptography" does not include "fixed" data compression or coding techniques applies directly and broadly to the definition of "cryptography." Accordingly, this Technical Note is moved into the definition of "cryptography."���The definition for the term "Data-Based Referenced Navigation" ("DBRN") Systems is removed from the Related Definitions paragraph of 7A003 and added to SEC 772.1, because defined terms that are used in multiple ECCNs are placed in SEC 772.1. This term is used in 7A003, 7D003 and 7E004.���This rule removes the term "expert systems" from SEC 772.1 of the EAR, because the control list paragraphs where it was used are deleted by this rule (7D003.c and 7E004.b.6). See explanations for removal of these paragraphs in the respective ECCN preambles above.���The term "frequency switching time" in SEC 772.1 of the EAR is amended by removing the phrase "(Cat 3 and 5)" and adding in its place "(Cat 3)," because in 5A001.b.5.b, the term "frequency switching time" is replaced by "channel switching time." For more explanation, see the preamble for 5A001 above.���The definition for "measurement uncertainty" used in Category 2 is amended by removing one of the referenced standards "VDI/VDE 2617," because the VDI/VDE 2617 standard was withdrawn in mid-2005 and may not be purchased by the public. It is not appropriate to reference a standard in the control list definitions that is no longer published.���The term "space-qualified" is amended by removing the phrase "Cat 3 and 6" and adding in its place "Cat 3, 6, and 7," because "space-qualified" systems are now specified in 7A003.d.���This rule adds the term "spinning mass gyros" in alphabetic order to SEC 772.1 of the EAR. This term is used in decontrol Notes to 7A002.a.1.b, a.2.b, and 7A003.d.2. Because it is used in multiple locations in the CCL, the Technical Notes that defined this term are removed and the definition is added to SEC 772.1 of the EAR.���This rule adds the term "three dimensional integrated circuit" in alphabetic order to SEC 772.1 of the EAR. This term is added to Note 2 to 3A001.a to clarify that the controls in 3A001 apply to these types of integrated circuits. 3D integrated circuit design is a recent approach to improving the functionality and performance of integrated circuits.Export Administration Act���Since August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, has been in lapse. However, the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by Executive Order 13637 of March 8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013), and as extended by the Notice of August 8, 2013, 78 FR 49107 (August 12, 2013) has continued the EAR in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). BIS continues to carry out the provisions of the Export Administration Act, as appropriate and to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222 as amended by Executive Order 13637.Saving Clause���Shipments of items removed from license exception eligibility or eligibility for export without a license as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or en route aboard a carrier to a port of export, on August 4, 2014, pursuant to actual orders for export to a foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous license exception eligibility or without a license so long as they have been exported from the United States before October 3, 2014. Any such items not actually exported before midnight, on October 3, 2014, require a license in accordance with this regulation.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 rule has been designated a "significant regulatory action," under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the rule has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.���2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person 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 rule involves two collections of information subject to the PRA. One of the collections has been approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088, "Multi-Purpose Application," and carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes for a manual or electronic submission. The other of the collections has been approved by OMB under control number 0694-0106, "Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements under the Wassenaar Arrangement," and carries a burden hour estimate of 21 minutes for a manual or electronic submission. Send comments regarding these burden estimates or any other aspect of these collections of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to OMB Desk Officer, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; and to Jasmeet Seehra, OMB Desk Officer, by email at Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.eop.gov or by fax to (202) 395-7285; and to the Office of Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Ave. NW., Room 6622, Washington, DC 20230.���3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.���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 30-day delay in effective date, are inapplicable because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs function of the United States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Immediate implementation of these amendments fulfills the United States' international obligation to the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. The Wassenaar Arrangement contributes to international security and regional stability by promoting greater responsibility in transfers of conventional arms and dual use goods and technologies, thus preventing destabilizing accumulations of such items. The Wassenaar Arrangement consists of 41 member countries that act on a consensus basis and the changes set forth in this rule implement agreements reached at the December 2012 plenary session of the WA. Because the United States is a significant exporter of the items covered by this rule, implementation of this rule is necessary for the WA to achieve its purpose. Any delay in implementation will create a disruption in the movement of affected items globally because of disharmony between export control measures implemented by WA members, resulting in tension between member countries. Export controls work best when all countries implement the same export controls in a timely manner. If this rulemaking were delayed to allow for notice and comment and a 30-day delay in effectiveness, it would prevent the United States from fulfilling its commitment to the WA in a timely manner and would injure the credibility of the United States in this and other multilateral regimes.���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 the Administrative Procedure Act 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, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Room 2099, Washington, DC 20230.List of Subjects���15 CFR Part 734���Administrative practice and procedure, Exports, Inventions and patents, Research Science and technology.���15 CFR Parts 738 and 772���Exports.���15 CFR Part 740���Administrative practice and procedure, Exports, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.���15 CFR Part 743���Administrative practice and procedure, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.���15 CFR Part 774���Exports, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.���Accordingly, Parts 734, 738, 740, 743, 772 and 774 of the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR Parts 730-774) are amended as follows:PART 734 [AMENDED]���1.
