Export Administration Regulations: Encryption Clarifications and Revisions

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to clarify when encryption commodities and software may be given de minimis treatment, when short-range wireless devices incorporating encryption may be given mass market or retail treatment, and to provide guidance on when exporters are required to submit encryption review requests. It also expands the authorizations according to which travelers departing the United States may take encryption for their personal use, and clarifies that specially designed medical equipment and software are not controlled as encryption or ``information security'' items under the EAR. Finally this rule implements changes to the Wassenaar Arrangement List of dual-use items (agreed upon in the September 2002 meeting and finalized in December 2002) that eliminate from Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5A002 certain types of ``Personalized smart cards'' and equipment specially designed and limited to controlling access to copyright protected data.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 17, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background

This rule amends Sec. 734.4(b) to clarify the de minimis eligibility of encryption items controlled for National Security (``NS'') or Anti-Terrorism (``AT'') reasons under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), subject to the applicable notification or review requirements described in Sec. 740.13(e) and Sec. 742.15(b). As with other encryption items no longer subject to ``EI'' controls (such as items classified under Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 5A992, 5D992 or 5E992), this rule clarifies that ECCN 5D002 encryption source code that would be considered publicly available under Sec. 734.3(b)(3) of the EAR (and the corresponding object code) is eligible for de minimis treatment once exporters have complied with the applicable notification requirement that releases such ECCN 5D002 software from ``EI'' controls.

This rule also updates License Exception BAG and the Related Control notes to ECCN 5A002 relative to the Wassenaar Arrangement List of dual-use items, and in several sections of the EAR clarifies existing instructions related to encryption commodities and software pre-loaded onto laptops, handheld devices, computers or other equipment. This rule also adds a ``checklist'' on encryption and other ``information security'' functions to Supplement 5 to part 742 of the EAR, to help exporters more fully consider and identify controlled encryption and ``information security'' components within their products, when making classification decisions and assessing whether an encryption review by BIS is required.

Consistent with the standing export control agreement among Wassenaar Arrangement member nations, this rule also adds a nota bene (``NB'') immediately following Note 1 in Category 5 part II that clarifies that commodities and software specially designed for medical end-use that incorporate encryption items listed in Category 5 part II are not controlled by Category 5, part II of the Commerce Control List. This rule thus clarifies that a commodity or software product that is specially designed for medical end-use is classified as EAR99, even if the medical product incorporates another product, part or component that would otherwise be classified as 5A002, 5D002, 5A992 or 5D992.

This rule expands the scope of License Exception BAG by allowing U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens of the United States to export encryption commodities and software for their personal use to any destination except Country Group E:1. Persons other than U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens of the United States (except nationals of countries listed in Country Group E:1 of Supplement No. 1 to part 740 who are not U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens of the United States) may also take such commodities and software as accompanying baggage for their personal use to any destination except Country Group E:1. This rule updates the provisions in 740.14(d) for ``unaccompanied baggage'' by permitting shipments of personal use encryption commodities and software subject to ``EI'' controls to the same destinations that are permitted for CB, MT, NS and NP controlled items.

In the Related Control notes to ECCN 5A002, the previous restriction to ``one-time'' copy control of copyright protected audio/ video data has been removed. Likewise, as is now the case for such playback audio/video data, software that is subject to the EAR but not specified on the Commerce Control List (i.e., items that are classified as EAR99) remains classified EAR99 when copy protected. Lastly, Related Control note (a) is amended and divided into two sub-paragraphs.

Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001, Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (66 FR 44025, August 22, 2001), as extended by the notice of August 14, 2002 (67 FR 53721, August 16, 2002), continues the Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Rulemaking Requirements

1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of E.O. 12866.

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

   [[Page 35784]]

   Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget Control Number. This rule involves a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This collection has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour estimate of 45 minutes for a manual submission and 40 minutes for an electronic submission.

3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined under E.O. 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 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 interim 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 and on proposals to further update the encryption provisions of the EAR 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, PO Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
