December 2005 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Agreement Implementation; Final Rule
[Docket No. 060807211-6211-01]
RIN 0694-AD 73
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL), which identifies items subject to Department of Commerce export controls. This final rule revises the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement changes made to the Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar List), and Statements of Understanding maintained and agreed to by governments participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement, or WA.) The Wassenaar Arrangement advocates implementation of effective export controls on strategic items with the objective of improving regional and international security and stability. To accommodate the changes to the Wassenaar List, this rule revises the EAR by amending certain entries that are controlled for national security reasons in Categories 1, 2, 3, 5 Part I (Telecommunications), 5 Part II (Information Security), 6, 8, and 9, and by amending the EAR Definitions.
The purpose of this final rule is to make the necessary changes to the CCL, definitions of terms used in the EAR, and Wassenaar reporting requirements to implement Wassenaar List revisions that were agreed upon in the December 2005 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Meeting. In addition, this rule adds Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, South Africa, and Malta to the list of Wassenaar participating states in the EAR, which brings the total number of participating states to 40.
This rule also adds or expands unilateral U.S. controls and national security controls on certain items to make them consistent with the amendments made to implement the Wassenaar Arrangement's decisions.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective September 7, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions of a general nature contact Sharron Cook, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-2440 or E-Mail: scook@bis.doc.gov.
Category 5 Part 2: Joe Young 202-482-4197.
Categories 7 and 8: Dan Squire 202-482-3710.
Comments regarding the collections of information associated with this rule, including suggestions for reducing the burden, should be sent to OMB Desk Officer, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503--Attention: David Rostker; and to the Office of Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Room 6883, Washington, DC 20230.
In July 1996, the United States and thirty-three other countries gave final approval to the establishment of a new multilateral export control arrangement, called the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement or WA). The Wassenaar Arrangement contributes to regional and international security and stability by promoting transparency and greater responsibility in transfers of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies, thus preventing destabilizing accumulations of such items. Participating states have committed to exchange information on exports of dual-use goods and technologies to non-participating states for the purposes of enhancing transparency and assisting in developing common understandings of the risks associated with the transfers of these items.
Addition of Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, and South Africa
In April-June 2005, consultations resulted in decisions to admit Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta to the Wassenaar Arrangement as new Participating States, and in December 2005 at the Plenary meeting, South Africa was added as a new Participating State. To reflect this change, this rule adds Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, and South Africa to the list of Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States in Supplement No. 1 to Part 743 of the EAR.
Expansion or New Export Controls
New or expanded anti-terrorism (AT) controls imposed by this rule. This rule imposes a unilateral U.S. license requirement to export and reexport commodities (and related software and technology) controlled under ECCNs 1E998, 2B006.b.1.d, 2D001, 2E001, 2E002, 2E201, 5A001.f, 5A002.a.9, 5D001, 5D002 , 5E001, 5E002, 6A006.b, 6D003.f, 6E003.f, 9A012.b, 9B010, 9E001, 9E003.a.11 for AT reasons to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria, in addition to the national security controls imposed to implement the Wassenaar Arrangement's decisions, because under Section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 a license is required for items that could make a significant contribution to the military potential of such country or could enhance the ability of such country to support acts of international terrorism. There is a general policy of denial for applications to terrorism supporting countries, as set forth in Part 742 of the EAR. In addition, certain of these countries are also subject to embargoes, as set forth in Part 746 of the EAR and Supplement No. 1 to Part 736 of the EAR for Syria. A license is also required for the export and reexport of these items to specially designated terrorists and foreign terrorist organizations, as set forth in Part 744 of the EAR; license applications to these parties are reviewed under a general policy of denial.
New or expanded significant items (SI) controls imposed by this rule. Through the adoption of revisions by WA, this rule imposes foreign policy controls pursuant to section 6 of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended to export and reexport technology required for the development, production or overhaul of commercial aircraft engines controlled under ECCN 9E003.a.11 for SI reasons to all countries, except Canada, in addition to the national security controls imposed to implement the Wassenaar
[[Page 52957]]
Arrangement's decisions. Applications to export and reexport this technology will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the export or reexport is consistent with U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. For designated terrorism- supporting countries or embargoed countries, the applicable licensing policies are found in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR, and Supplement No. 1 to Part 736 of the EAR for Syria.
New or expanded NS Column 2 controls imposed by this rule. This rule imposes a license requirement under section 742.4(a) of the EAR for exports and reexports of commodities (and related software and technology) described in ECCNs 2B006.b.1.d, 5A001.f, 6A006.b, to destinations that are not Country Group A:1 destinations, or that are not cooperating countries (see Supplement No. 1 to Part 740 of the EAR). These destinations have an ``X'' indicated in NS column 2 on the Commerce Country Chart of Supplement No. 1 to Part 738 of the EAR. The purpose of the controls is to ensure that these items do not make a contribution to the military potential of such destination countries that would prove detrimental to the national security of the United States. For designated terrorism-supporting countries or embargoed countries, the applicable licensing policies are found in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR, and Supplement No. 1 to Part 736 of the EAR for Syria.
New or expanded NS Column 1 controls imposed by this rule. This rule imposes a license requirement under section 742.4(a) of the EAR for exports and reexports to all destinations, except Canada, of commodities (and related software and technology) described in ECCNs 2D001, 2E001, 2E002, 5A002.a.9, 5D002, 5E002, 6D003.f, 6E003.f, 9A012.b, 9B010, 9D001 and 9D002 (only software for the development and production of equipment classified under ECCN 9B010), 9E001 (only technology for the development of equipment under ECCNs 9A012 and 9B010), and 9E003.a.11. These destinations have an ``X'' indicated in NS column 1 on the Commerce Country Chart of Supplement No. 1 to Part 738. The purpose of the controls is to ensure that these items do not make a contribution to the military potential of any other country or combination of countries that would prove detrimental to the national security of the United States. For designated terrorism-supporting countries or embargoed countries, the applicable licensing policies are found in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR, and Supplement No. 1 to Part 736 of the EAR for Syria.
The licensing policy for national security controlled items exported or reexported to any country except a country in Country Group D:1 (see Supplement No. 1 to Part 740 of the EAR) is to approve license applications unless there is a significant risk that the items will be diverted to a country in Country Group D:1. The general policy for exports and reexport of items to Country Group D:1 is to approve license applications when BIS determines, on a case-by-case basis, that the items are for civilian use or would otherwise not make a significant contribution to the military potential of the country of destination that would prove detrimental to the national security of the United States.
This rule revises a number of entries on the Commerce Control List (CCL) to implement the December 2005 agreed revisions to the Wassenaar List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. This rule also revises language to provide a complete or more accurate description of controls. A description of the specific amendments to the CCL pursuant to the December 2005 Wassenaar Agreement is provided below. The ECCNS affected, as described below, are 1C008, 1C998, 1E001, 1E998, 2B002, 2B006, 2E201, 3A001, 3B001, 3B991, 3E001, 5A001, 5A002, 5A991, 5D001, 5D991, 6A006, 6D003, 6E003, 8A002, 9A001, 9A012, 9B010 (New), 9D001, 9D002, 9D004, 9E001, 9E002, and 9E003.
Category 1--Materials, Chemicals, ``Microorganisms,'' and Toxins
ECCN 1C008 is amended by removing and reserving 1C008.c.1, because foreign availability has been proven, and continued national security control cannot be justified any longer.
ECCN 1C998 is added to continue antiterrorism (AT) controls on polyether ether ketone (PEEK), which was removed from 1C008.c.1. Therefore, the materials no longer controlled under ECCN 1C008 continue to be controlled for AT reasons under ECCN 1C998 for exports and reexports to designated terrorism-supporting countries, as set forth in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR, and as indicated in AT Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart in Supplement No. 1 to Part 738 of the EAR.
ECCN 1E001 is amended by revising the heading to exclude control of development and production technology for ECCNs 1B999, 1C995, 1C996, 1C997, 1C998, and 1C999, because none of these technologies are controlled on the Wassenaar List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies.
Note: This rule adds technology for commodities controlled by ECCNs 1B999, 1C995, 1C996, 1C997, and 1C999 to ECCN 1E998, which is controlled for antiterrorism reasons (AT:1).
ECCN 1E998 is added to maintain AT controls on technology for the development or production of materials that were controlled under 1C008.c.1 and are now controlled by ECCN 1C998. In addition, references to ECCNs 1B999, 1C995, 1C996, 1C997, and 1C999 have been moved from ECCN 1E001 to ECCN 1E998 to maintain AT controls on technology for the development or production of processing equipment and materials described in these ECCNs.
ECCN 2B002 is amended by adding to the heading ``(see List of Items Controlled),'' and adding parameters for control of numerically controlled machine tools using a Magnetorheological finishing (MRF) process.
Note: MRF tools are mostly used for optical components; therefore optical parameters were selected to describe the capability of the machines. One set of such parameters are form and finish; form referring to the shape of the optic and finish to the surface roughness. A form value describes how close the actual shape of the optic is to the design and finish value describes how smooth the surface is. MRF tools, such as interferometers and profilers are typically used to measure form, while profilometers and scatterometers are used to measure finish.
Revising the NP paragraph in the License Requirements section, to except 2B006.b.1.d from NP controls because electronic assemblies do not appear under the Nuclear Suppliers Group Annex item 1.B.3;
Adding paragraph 2B006.b.1.d to control electronic assemblies specially designed to provide feedback capability in systems controlled by 2B006.b.1.c; and
Revising the Note to 2B006.b.1.
Note: The combination of control and decontrol lead to the possibility of an ineffective control. These revisions together will enhance the effectiveness of control by explicitly controlling certain specially designed components. Equipment under 2B006 is controlled for national security reasons (NS:2), nuclear nonproliferation reasons (NP:1), and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1); Related software for the development, production, or use of 2B006 commodities is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 2D001; related technology for the development or production of 2B006
[[Page 52958]]
commodities is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCNs 2E001 and 2E002 respectively; related technology for the use of 2B006 commodities is controlled for nuclear proliferation reasons (NP:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 2E201.
ECCN 2E201 is amended by:
Revising the heading to remove ECCN 2B008, because no international export control regime has controlled ``use'' technology for this ECCN;
Adding to the end of the heading the phrase ``for NP reasons'' to assure that ECCN 2E201 only controls use technology for NP controlled portions of the ECCNs listed in the heading; and
Revising the NP paragraph in the License Requirements section to remove the reference to 2B008.
Revising the CIV paragraph in the License Exception section by replacing reference to 3A001.a.3.b with 3A001.a.3, because this rule moves 3A001.a.3.b to 3A001.a.3; and removing the reference to 3A001.a.3.c, because this rule deletes this paragraph.
Removing 3A001.a.3.c (interconnects), because they cannot be effectively controlled, as they are now integrated into mass market products.
Incorporating 3A001.a.3.b into 3A001.a.3 to revise the format of 3A001.a.3.
Revising the Note 2 to 3A001.b.2 to avoid incorrect interpretation that it is only relevant if the device spans more than one entire range.
Adding the word ``Discrete'' before 3A001.b.3, which reads ``Microwave transistors having any of the following:'' to add clarification.
Revising the Note to 3A001.b.3 (Microwave transistors) to add clarification and avoid misinterpretation.
Revising the operation frequency for microwave sold state amplifiers and microwave assemblies/modules containing microwave amplifiers from ``3 GHz'' to ``3.2 GHz'' in 3A001.b.4.f. This change was made for consistency with the parameter in 3A001.b.2.a (MMIC amplifiers), 3A001.b.3.a (transistors) and 3A001.b.4.a (solid state amplifiers).
Revising Note 2 to 3A001.b.4 to avoid incorrect interpretation that it is only relevant if the device spans more than one entire range.
Adding a Technical Note to 3A001.b.4.f.3 to eliminate ambiguity in the case of amplifiers having performance both above and below the frequency threshold.
ECCN 3A991 is amended by:
Revising 3A991.c, because the rule entitled, ``December 2004 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Agreement Implementation: Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Part I (telecommunications), 6, 7, 8, and 9 of the Commerce Control List; Wassenaar Reporting Requirements; Definitions; and Certain New or Expanded Export Controls'' that was published in the Federal Register on July 15, 2005 (70 FR 41094) modified the 3A001.a.5 entry for analog-to-digital converters by revising the total conversion time in ns to output rate in million words per second, however, the 3A991.c entry was not appropriately adjusted to conform with this revision. Therefore, this rule revises the output rate to millions of words per second in 3A991.c.
Removing 3A991.j.2 (rechargeable cells and batteries) because it was erroneously created, and is a duplicate entry to 3A001.e.1.b. Because of this removal, paragraph 3A991.j.1 will become 3A991.j to conform with the structure format of the CCL.
Removing 3B001.a.1.a, because certain EPI tools are not a critical technology in the semiconductor manufacturing process and are not a key enabler in the production of semiconductors.
Revising the formula for minimum resolvable feature size in the technical note following 3B001.f.1.b by replacing the ``Fm'' with ``nm'' to conform with the corresponding entry in the Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies.
Note: For equipment no longer controlled under ECCN 3B001.a.1.a, related software controlled under 3D001 and 3D002, and related technology controlled under 3E001, there remains a license requirement under ECCNs 3B991.b.1.d.1, 3D991, and 3E991, respectively, for exports and reexports to designated terrorism- supporting countries, as set forth in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR and as indicated in AT Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart.
ECCN 3B991 is amended by:
Revising the ``unit'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to provide instructions to input dollar value in the unit block on a license application for components and accessories;
Redesignating paragraphs 3B991.b.1.d.1 and 3B991.b.1.d.2 as 3B991.b.1.d.2 and 3B991.b.1.d.3 respectively;
Adding a new paragraph 3B991.b.1.d.1 to maintain AT controls for stored program controlled equipment for epitaxial growth capable of producing a silicon layer with a thickness uniform to less than 2.5% across a distance of 200 mm or more (previously controlled under ECCN 3B001.a.1.a).
Removing the text in the CIV paragraph of the License Exception section and replacing it with ``N/A'', as it is no longer necessary because of the agreed upon deletions in 3A001 by the Wassenaar Arrangement; and
Revising the heading to add exceptions from this technology control over commodities in ECCN 3C992, because this technology is not controlled on the Wassenaar List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies.
Note: This rule adds ECCN 3C992 to the heading of ECCN 3E991 to maintain antiterrorism (AT:1) controls on the technology for the development , production or use of commodities described in ECCN 3C992.
Note: The equipment no longer controlled under ECCNs 3A001.a.3.c and 3B001.a.1.a, related software under ECCNs 3D001 and 3D002, and related technology under ECCNs 3E001 continues to be controlled for antiterrorism reasons under ECCNs 3A991.a.3, 3B991.b.1.d.1, 3D991, and 3E991 respectively, for exports and reexports to designated terrorism-supporting countries, as set forth in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR and as indicated in AT Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart. Also note, that technology for the development and production of microprocessor microcircuits, micro computer microcircuits and microcontroller microcircuits having a composite theoretical performance (CTP) of 530 MTOPS or more and an arithmetic logic unit with an access width of 32 bits or more continue to be controlled for national security reasons under ECCN 3E002.
ECCN 3E991 is amended by revising the heading to add technology controls for development, production, or use of specific processing equipment described in 3A991, and materials controlled by 3C992 (positive resists designed for semiconductor lithography * * *), because this technology warrants anti-terrorism (AT) controls.
Category 5--Part I--Telecommunications
Adding the phrase ``, as follows (see List of Items Controlled)'' to the heading.
Revising the License Requirements section to reflect that there is a license requirement for jamming equipment described in newly added paragraph 5A001.f to countries that have an ``X'' in NS Column 2 of the Commerce Country Chart in Supplement No.1 of Part 738.
Note: 5A001.f is eligible for License Exceptions LVS, GBS, and CIV, if the criteria
[[Page 52959]]
in Part 740 of the EAR for the license exception authorizing the export or reexport has been met and none of the license exception restrictions of Sec. 740.2 apply to the transaction.
Note: Related software for the development, production, or use of this equipment is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 5D001, and related technology for the development, production, or use of this equipment is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 5E001.
Adding ``or antennae'' to the Unit paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section.
Revising the second note following 5A001.a.3 to add the phrase ``designed or modified for use'' to conform with the corresponding entry in the Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies.
Adding the phrase ``not controlled in 5A001.b.4'' to 5A001.b.3 to avoid overlapping controls with the new parameters in 5A001.b.4.
Revising 5A001.b.4 (radio equipment employing ultra-wideband modulation techniques) so that it would be independent of the modulation technique employed in ultra-wideband (UWB) (i.e., not limited to ``time modulation'' (TM)). Today, in addition to TM-UWB, Direct Sequence-Spread Spectrum (DS-SS) and Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (MB-OFDM) have appeared as different modulation techniques for UWB. Because of the emergence of DS-SS and MB-OFDM, the previously standing text of 5A001.b.4 and 5A002.a.6, were limited to TM-UWB, which created a loophole.
Adding a Technical Note 2 for 5A001.b.6, because the bandwidth of audio-coding (20-22,000 Hz) overlaps the bandwidth of voice-coding (300-3,400 Hz), and the scope of control in the context of 5A001.b.6 is only adopted to ``voice coding.'' It is necessary to clearly indicate that ``voice coding'' controlled in 5A001.b.6 is a voice-coding technique that uses voice-coding algorithms that are based on peculiar human voice characteristics.
Adding a descriptor ``Radio'' to make it ``Radio direction finding equipment'' in 5A001.e; changing the ``Instantaneous bandwidth'' from ``1 MHz or more'' to ``10 MHz or more'' in 5A001.e.1; and replacing the parallel processing parameter with the capability to find a line of bearing (LOB) to non-cooperating radio transmitters with a signal duration of less than 1 ms in 5A001.e.3.
Note: In 2004, the Wassenaar Expert's Group determined that ECCN 7A007 was not navigation or avionics equipment and belonged instead in Category 5 Part 1; it was determined that the equipment controlled by that ECCN should be placed in a revised paragraph 5A001.e. In the course of the discussion, it was also found that the level of the ECCN 7A007 control was set so high as to not control systems of potential concern. In addition, the ECCN 7A007 control text is technology-specific.
Previously, the text in 5A001.e was found to only control one specific, highly-advanced system. The revised text of ECCN 5A001.e is written in an effort to set forth provisions that control systems of concern and support a level playing field in the global marketplace. Advanced DF systems, which can direction-find against short-duration signals and frequency-hopping radios are of particular concern because they can be used by military forces of countries of concern to locate and target advanced tactical communications equipment.
Because the system accuracy of a direction finder is directly related to the antenna geometry of the direction finder, and thus does not imply a high degree of know-how, this revision is based on the control parameter ``Instantaneous bandwidth'', which is the decisive factor for direction finding against frequency-hopping radios and signals of the short duration type.
Adding paragraph 5A001.f to control sophisticated cellular phone jamming equipment. Equipment of this type is capable of selectively jamming cellular phone communications, which can pose a national security threat.
ECCN 5A991 is amended by:
Adding the definition of `Asynchronous transfer mode' (`ATM') to the related definitions paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section; and
Replacing the double quotes with single quotes around the term `Asynchronous transfer mode' (`ATM') in paragraph 5A991.c.12, to signify that the definition is found in the related definitions section of 5A991 and no longer in Part 772 of the EAR.
Moving 5D001.c.1 into 5D001.c;
Deleting the reserved paragraph 5D001.c.2; and
Removing 5D001.c.3, because consensus was reached to delete 5D001c3 controlling the source code specially designed for dynamic adaptive routing. This technology has become widely available due to the recent expansion of packet telecommunication networks, such as the internet.
Note: The software removed from ECCN 5D001.c.3, and related technology under ECCN 5E001 continue to be controlled for antiterrorism (AT:1) reasons under ECCNs 5D991 and 5E991 respectively, for exports and reexports to designated terrorism- supporting countries, as set forth in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR and as indicated in AT Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart.
ECCN 5D991 is amended by revising the heading and the ``items'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to add reference to the software removed from 5D001.c.3 (``Software'', other than in machine-executable form, specially designed for ``dynamic adaptive routing'').
Category 5--Part 2--Information Security
Adding a sentence to the ``Related Controls'' paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section to note that 5A002 does not control commodities eligible for the Cryptography Note (Category 5 Part 2 Note 3).
Adding the phrase ``not controlled in 5A002.a.6.'' to 5A002.a.5 to avoid overlapping controls with the new parameters in 5A002.a.6.
Adding new control parameters to 5A002.a.6, including adding networked identification code to the type of codes that could be generated using cryptographic techniques. Also adding control characteristics for systems using ultra-wideband modulation techniques, i.e., A bandwidth exceeding 500 MHz; or a ``fractional bandwidth'' of 20% or more.
Note: Following WA agreement reached on revised text for 5A001.b.3 and 5A001.b.4 in Category 5 Part 1, to control new ultra wideband techniques that had appeared on the market, agreement was reached by WA on consequential changes in 5A002.a.5 & 5A002.a.6.in Category 5 Part 2.
Adding paragraph 5A002.a.9 to add controls for quantum cryptography because it represents advancement in cryptography that can improve information security in two important ways: (1) It may be used in conjunction with digital cryptography to securely distribute shared keys for a digital symmetric algorithm and (2) it may make for a fast and highly secure ``one-time-pad'' cipher. A Technical Note that describes quantum cryptography is also added to this paragraph.
Note: This equipment under ECCN 5A002.a.9 is controlled for encryption items (EI) reasons, national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1). Related software for the development, production, and use of this equipment is controlled for encryption items (EI) reasons, national security reasons (NS:1), and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 5D002; related technology for the development, production, and use of this equipment is controlled for encryption items (EI) reasons, national security reasons (NS:1), and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 5E002.
Adding a new paragraph c.4 to the Note at the top of the items paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section of
5A002 to clarify that model-based simulation software that is specially designed and limited to protect libraries, design attributes, or associated data for the design of semiconductor devices or integrated circuits, is not controlled under the corresponding software entry ECCN 5D002. The Note describes software for which the underlying encryption functionality is for specific purposes such as protection of intellectual property, and the underlying encryption functionality (including the protected libraries, design attributes or associated data) is not directly accessible to the end-user.
Moving an existing nota bene (``NB'') so that it immediately follows the text of Note d to ECCN 5A002, to conform with the corresponding entry in the Wassenaar Arrangement's List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies.
Category 6--Sensors
Revising the heading to add newly controlled ``underwater electric field sensors;''
Revising ``6A006.c'' to read ``6A006.d'' in the LVS paragraph in the License Exceptions section, because magnetic compensation systems, as well as compensation systems for underwater electric field sensors are now controlled under 6A006.d;
Revising the ``Related Controls'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to add an exemption from control for instruments controlled by 6A006 that are used for ``fishery applications,'' such as research on fish reproduction.
Redesignating 6A006.b (magnetic gradiometers) as 6A006.c;
Adding a new paragraph 6A006.b to control Underwater Electric Field Sensors, because they now have civil applications, such as underwater exploration, salvage, and biological and medical sciences, and no longer are strictly used in military applications, such as detection of submarines and underwater mines.
Revising 6D003.f from reading ``Magnetometers.'' to read ``Magnetic and Electric Field Sensors'' in conformance with new paragraph 6A006.b.
Revising 6D003.f.1 and 6D003.f.2 by adding ``and electric field'' in conformance with new paragraph 6A006.b.
ECCN 6E003 is amended by revising the title of 6E003.f from ``Magnetometers'' to read ``Magnetic and Electric Field Sensors.''
Note: Equipment under 6A006 is controlled for national security reasons (NS:2) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1); Related software for magnetic and electric field sensors is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 6D003; and related technology for magnetic and electric field sensors is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 6E003.
ECCN 8A002 is amended by adding a decontrol note in 8A002.f for digital cameras specially designed for consumer purposes, other than those employing electronic image multiplication techniques. This note was added because of the foreign availability of digital cameras.
Category 9--Propulsion Systems, Space Vehicles and Related Equipment
Revising the ``unit'' paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to read ``number'' instead of ``Equipment in number; parts and accessories in $ value.''
Revising paragraph 2 in the Note to 9A001.a, because it was discovered that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) issues a document equivalent to a civil Type Certificate that the participating members of Wassenaar found acceptable for export control purposes. Reference to that document has been added to paragraph 2.a within the Note to 9A001.a. The approval of the design of certain types of aircraft, engines and propellers is signified by the issue of a Type Certificate. In general there will be a Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) associated with each Type Certificate issued. The TCDS records the basis of certification, the designation of each approved variant and general information concerning the design.
ECCN 9A012 is amended by:
Revising the heading to add double quotes around the term ``unmanned aerial vehicles'' to indicate that this is a term now defined in Part 772. Also, adding the abbreviation ``UAV'' to the heading.
Revising the heading to add associated systems, equipment, and components, because Wassenaar has agreed to expand this ECCN entry. It was determined that it would be prudent for the control of conventional arms to place export controls on the associated systems, equipment, and components used for remote controlling or guidance of the UAV or to convert a manned aircraft to an UAV.
Revising the Related Controls paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section to add a reference to section 744.3 ``Restrictions on Certain Rocket Systems (including ballistic missile systems and space launch vehicles and sounding rockets) and Unmanned Air Vehicles (including cruise missile systems, target drones and reconnaissance drones) End-Uses.''
Redesignating paragraphs 9A012.a and 9A012.b as 9A012.a.1 and 9A012.a.2.
Adding a new paragraph 9A012.b for associated systems, equipment and components.
Note: Related software for the development and production of equipment controlled under ECCN 9A012 is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 9D001 and 9D002 respectively; software specially designed or modified for the ``use'' of full authority digital electronic engine controls (FADEC) for propulsion systems controlled by 9A012 is controlled for antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 9D003; and related technology for the development of this equipment is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 9E001.
ECCN 9B010 is added to control ``equipment specially designed for the production of ``UAVs'' and associated systems, equipment and components controlled by 9A012.''
The Participating States of the Wassenaar Arrangement agreed to control equipment, software and technology for the conversion of aircraft for UAV operation, because of attempts by countries of concern to acquire such conversion capability for conventional arms and terrorism purposes.
Note: Equipment under 9B010 is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1); Related software for the development and production of this equipment is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 9D001 and 9D002 respectively; software specially designed or modified for the ``use'' of full authority digital electronic engine controls (FADEC) for propulsion systems controlled by 9B010 is controlled for antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 9D003; and related technology for the development and production of this equipment is controlled for national security reasons (NS:1) and antiterrorism reasons (AT:1) under ECCN 9E001 and 9E002 respectively.
ECCNs 9D001 and 9D002 have been amended by revising the License Requirement section in each to add ECCN 9B010 to the NS paragraph.
ECCN 9D004 is amended by adding a new paragraph 9D004.e to control ``software'' specially designed or modified for the ``use'' of ``UAVs'' and associated systems, equipment and components controlled by 9A012.
ECCN 9E001 has been amended by:
Revising the heading to include 9A012; and
Adding 9A012 and 9B010 to the NS paragraph in the License Requirement section.
ECCN 9E002 is amended by removing the License Requirement Note that refers to Wassenaar reporting requirements in section 743.1 of the EAR, because this ECCN is not eligible for License Exceptions GBS, CIV, TSR, LVS, CTP, or GOV and therefore does not require Wassenaar reporting.
ECCN 9E003 is amended by revising 9E003.a.11 to remove the qualifiers, (i.e., ``wide chord'' and ``without part-span support''), so that ``technology'' ``required'' for the ``development'' or ``production'' of all types of hollow fan blades for gas turbine engines are controlled for NS:1, SI, and AT:1 reasons. The advantage of using this type of blade is weight saving, stress reduction and an element of foreign object damage protection.
Section 740.11 and Supplement No. 1 to Section 740.11--License Exception GOV
This rule amends section 740.11 (a)(2)(vi)(G) to add 9A011 as it relates to ECCN 9D001 software, and to add a new paragraph (a)(2)(vi)(H) to cover software controlled by ECCN 9D002, specially designed or modified for the ``production'' of equipment controlled by ECCN 9A011. These items may not be exported or reexported for official international safeguard use by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) under License Exception GOV to destinations other than Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Supplement No. 1 to section 740.11 is amended to:
Add 6D001 (specially designed for the ``production'' or ``development'' of equipment in 6A008.1.3 or 6B008) and 6D003.a to paragraphs (a)(1)(vii)(D) and (b)(1)(vii)(D), which relate to 6E001 technology;
Add ECCN 9A011 to (a)(1)(vi)(G) that relates to 9D001 software;
Add a new paragraph (a)(1)(vi)(H) to cover software controlled by ECCN 9D002, specially designed or modified for the ``production'' of equipment controlled by ECCN 9A011;
Add to paragraph (a)(1)(vii)(G) 9A011, 9D001 and 9D002 as they relate to the development and production of 9A011, and as they relate to ECCN 9E001; and
Add a new paragraph (a)(1)(vii)(H) to cover technology controlled by ECCN 9E002 for the production of equipment in 9A011.
Therefore, 6E001 technology for the development of software in ECCNs 6D001 (specially designed for the ``production'' or ``development'' of equipment in 6A008.1.3 or 6B008) and 6D003; 9D001 for the development of equipment controlled by 9A011; 9D002 specially designed or modified for the production of equipment controlled by 9A011, 9D001 or 9D002 for the development or production of 9A011; and 9E002 for the production of equipment in 9A011, which are listed on the Wassenaar Arrangement's Very Sensitive List, are no longer eligible for License Exception GOV when consigned to and for the official use of any agency of a cooperating government within the territory of any cooperating government, or when consigned to and for the official use of a diplomatic or consular mission of a cooperating government located in any country in Country Group B of Supplement No. 1 to Part 740 of the EAR.
Section 740.17 ``License Exception ENC''
This rule amends the introductory paragraph and paragraphs (a), (b)(1), and (b)(2) to state that newly controlled quantum cryptography items described in 5A002.a.9 of the Commerce Control List (CCL) in Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the EAR are eligible for License Exception ENC. Paragraph (a) of Section 740.17 of the EAR authorizes certain exports, reexports, and technical assistance to countries listed in Supplement No. 3 to Part 740 of the EAR under License Exception ENC. The countries in Supplement No. 3 to Part 740 represent the European Union's ``license-free zone'' and include: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Paragraph (b) of Section 740.17 of the EAR authorizes exports and reexports destined to U.S. subsidiaries under License Exception ENC and, for other end-users, exports and reexports to countries not listed in Supplement No. 3 to Part 740 of the EAR. (This rule renames this Paragraph (b) to make clear the scope of this paragraph.) Paragraph (b)(1) of Section 740.17 of the EAR authorizes exports and reexports of encryption items for U.S. subsidiaries. Paragraph (b)(2) of Section 740.17 of the EAR authorizes exports and reexports of encryption commodities and software to non-government end- users in countries not listed in Supplement No. 3 to Part 740 of the EAR under License Exception ENC. Quantum cryptography items are not eligible for export or reexport to ``government end-users'' under License Exception ENC outside the countries listed in Supplement No. 3 to Part 740 of the EAR, because of the provisions of Sec. 740.17(b)(3)(i)(B) and Sec. 740.17(b)(2)(iii)(E) of the EAR. To receive written authorization from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to export your encryption items under License Exception ENC, you must submit an encryption review request to BIS and the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator. For guidance on applying for authorization under License Exception ENC go to BIS's Web page http://www.bis.doc.gov/encryption/enc.htm .
Section 743.1 ``Wassenaar Arrangement''
Sec. 743.1 is amended by:
Deleting ECCN 2B003 from the Note to paragraph (c)(1)(ii) to conform to the Wassenaar Sensitive List. This relates to Wassenaar reporting requirements for ECCNS 2D001, 2E001, and 2E002.
Removing 5A001.b.5 from paragraph (c)(1)(v), because BIS does not need to require reporting for commodities that are not eligible for License Exceptions GBS, CIV, TSR, LVS, CTP, or GOV. BIS can get the necessary information to fulfill U.S. obligations for reporting to the Wassenaar Arrangement from license application data.
Adding 5A001.b.5 under the 5B001.a in paragraph (c)(1)(v), because 5B001.a is specially designed for 5A001.b.5, is eligible for license exception and is on the Wassenaar Arrangement's Sensitive List.
Adding 5D001.a entry in paragraph (c)(1)(v), because software for the development or production of equipment, components, or accessories classified under 5B001.a is on the Wassenaar Arrangement's Sensitive List and is eligible for License Exceptions CIV and TSR. This addition is necessary in order for the United States to fulfill its reporting obligations to the Wassenaar Arrangement.
Adding 6A002.a.1.a, 6A002.a.1.b, 6A002.a.2.a (changing 350 uA/Im to 700 uA/Im in 6A002.a.2.a.3.a), 6A002.a.3, 6A002.c, 6A002.e; 6A003.b.3, 6A003.b.4, and 6A006.a to paragraph (c)(1)(vi), because these commodities are on the Wassenaar Arrangement's Sensitive List and are eligible for license exception under the EAR. This addition is necessary in order for the United
States to fulfill its reporting obligations to the Wassenaar Arrangement.
Revising 6A006.g to 6A006.d in paragraph (c)(1)(vi), because this paragraph has moved under ECCN 6A006.
Removing 6D003.a from paragraph (c)(1)(vi), because that ECCN is not eligible for License Exceptions LVS, GBS, CIV, APP, TSR, or GOV.
Removing 6A006.h from paragraph (c)(1)(vi), because this paragraph has been removed from 6A006 by agreement of the Wassenaar Arrangement.
Adding a note to paragraph (c)(1)(vi) to clarify the reporting requirement for 6A002.a.3.
Redesignating paragraphs (c)(1)(vii) and (c)(1)(viii) as paragraphs (c)(1)(viii) and (c)(1)(ix), in order to add a new paragraph (c)(1)(vii) to cover Category 7: 7D002; 7D003.c, d.1 to d.4, and d.7; 7E001; and 7E002, because these commodities are on the Wassenaar Arrangement's Sensitive List and are eligible for license exception under the EAR. This addition is necessary in order for the United States to fulfill its reporting obligations to the Wassenaar Arrangement.
Adding 9D001 (for 9B001.b and 9E003 as described in this paragraph), 9D002 (for 9B001.b), 9D004.a, 9D004.c, 9E001 for technology controlled for NS reasons, 9E002, 9E003.a.2, a.3.b, a.3.c, a.4, a.5, a.8, and a.9 to newly designated paragraph (c)(1)(ix), because these commodities are on the Wassenaar Arrangement's Sensitive List and are eligible for license exception under the EAR. This addition is necessary in order for the United States to fulfill its reporting obligations to the Wassenaar Arrangement.
This rule revises the title to Supplement No. 1 to Part 743 of the EAR from ``Wassenaar Arrangement Member Countries'' to ``Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States,'' because this is the term used by the Wassenaar Arrangement to address its members.
In addition, this rule adds Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, and South Africa to the list of Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States in Supplement No. 1 to Part 743 of the EAR, because they were recently admitted to the Wassenaar Arrangement.
This rule removes the definition for ``Asynchronous transfer mode'' (``ATM'') from section 772.1 of the EAR, and moves it to the related definitions paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section of ECCN 5A991, because the term is only referred to in 5A991.c.12.
This rule adds a reference to Category 2 in the definition for ``Electronic assembly,'' because of the addition of controls on electronic assemblies in 2B006.b.1.
This rule removes the definition for ``time-modulated ultra- wideband,'' because the Wassenaar Arrangement agreed to remove it from 5A001.b.4 and 5A002.a.6, and instead use the undefined term ``ultra- wideband modulation techniques.''
This rule adds the definition for ``unmanned aerial vehicle'' (``UAV'') to section 772.1, which is used in ECCNs 9A012 and newly added ECCN 9B010. In addition, UAVs are addressed in section 744.3 of the EAR.
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 September 7, 2006, 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 10, 2006. Any such items not actually exported before midnight, on October 10, 2006, require a license in accordance with this regulation.
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 the Office of Administration , Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Room 6883, Washington, DC 20230.
This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined under E.O. 13132.
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 (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 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, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
