Exports to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro); Imposition of Foreign Policy Controls

AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: Reacting to the use of excessive force by Serbian police forces against civilians in Kosovo, as well as acts of violence by the Kosovar Albanian extremists and fulfilling United States obligations to implement an international arms embargo mandated by the United Nations Security Council, the United States has banned the sale and supply of arms and related materiel of all types to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). To supplement the State Department controls on items on the U.S. Munitions List, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is designating certain items on the Commerce Control List (CCL) that are subject to the arms embargo and establishing a policy of denial to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) on such items. No embargoed items may be exported to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) under any License Exception, including shipments of limited value (LVS).

In addition, this rule makes certain editorial revisions to the Export

[[Page 37768]]

Administration Regulations relating to embargoes and other special controls.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective July 14, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

In Resolution 1160 of March 31, 1998, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) directs all member states to prohibit the sale or supply to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including Kosovo, by their nationals or from their territories or using their flag vessels and aircraft, of arms and related materiel of all types, such as weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, and spare parts for the aforementioned and to prevent arming and training for terrorist activities there. Therefore, consistent with the UNSC Resolution 1160, the Bureau of Export Administration is imposing new license requirements and a policy of denial on arms-related items and certain other items on the Commerce Control List that could be used for terrorist activities or to repress the civilian population. These items include shotguns, ammunition, military vehicles, equipment for production of military explosives, bulletproof vests, night vision equipment, crime and crowd control equipment, and items that may be used to arm and train individuals for terrorist activities. Many of these items are already subject to license application requirements under the Export Administration Regulations for export to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). However, this action imposes export license requirements on additional items, such as water cannons.

Executive Order 12918 of May 26, 1994 delegates authority, inter alia, under section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act, 22 U.S.C. 287c, to take such actions as may be necessary to carry out this arms embargo against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) to the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of State, for the types of arms and related materiel that come under their respective jurisdictions. To carry out this delegation to the Secretary of Commerce, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) sets forth the policies in Sec. 746.9 of the EAR and designates certain items on the Commerce Control List (CCL) that are subject to the arms embargo and a policy of denial to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), effective July 14, 1998. The Department of State has maintained a denial policy against issuing licenses or other authorizations for defense articles and services to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) since 1991. This action is taken consistent with the provisions of the EAA and after consultation with the Secretary of State. BXA submitted a foreign policy report to the Congress indicating the imposition of new foreign policy controls on June 30, 1998.

Although the Export Administration Act (EAA) expired on August 20, 1994, the President invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and continued in effect the EAR, and to the extent permitted by law, the provisions of the EAA in Executive Order 12924 of August 19, 1994, as extended by the President's notices of August 15, 1995 (60 FR 42767), August 14, 1996 (61 FR 42527) and August 13, 1997 (62 FR 43629).

Rulemaking Requirements

  1. This final rule has been determined to be significant for purposes of E.O. 12866.

  2. This rule involves a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These collections have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number 0694-0088. Not withstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond 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, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.

  3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under Executive Order 12612.

  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 (Sec. 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 5 U.S.C. 553 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 Patricia Muldonian, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Export Administration, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.

  10. A new section 746.9 is added to read as follows:

    Sec. 746.9 The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).

    Under Resolution 1160 of March 31, 1998, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) directs all member states to prevent the sale or supply to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including Kosovo, by their nationals or from their territories or using their flag vessels and aircraft, of arms and related materiel of all types, such as weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment and spare parts for the aforementioned, and to prevent the arming and training for terrorist activities there. Executive Order 12918 of May 26, 1994 (3 CFR, 1994 Comp., p. 899) authorizes the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Commerce, under section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act and other authorities available to the respective Secretaries, to take all actions necessary to implement any arms embargo mandated by resolution of the United Nations Security Council.

    (a) License requirements. Under Executive Order 12918 of May 26, 1994, and in conformity with United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1160 of March 31, 1998, an embargo applies to the sale or supply to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including Kosovo, of arms and related materiel of all types and regardless of origin, such as weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, and spare parts for such items. You will therefore need a license for the sale, supply or export to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) from the United States of embargoed items, as listed in paragraphs (a)(1) (i) and (ii) of this section. You will also need a license for the sale, supply, export or reexport to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) of such items by any United States person in any foreign country or other location. (Reexport controls imposed by this embargo apply only to reexports by U.S. persons. Reexport controls on U.S.-origin items to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) set forth in other parts of the EAR remain in effect.) You will also need a license for the use of any U.S.-registered aircraft or vessel to supply or transport to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) any such items. These requirements apply to embargoed items, regardless of origin.

    (i) Crime Control and Detection Equipment as identified on the CCL under CC Columns No. 1, 2 or 3 in the Country Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' section of the applicable ECCN.

    (ii) Items described by ECCNs ending in ``018''; and 0A982, 0A984, 0A985, 0A986, 0A988, 0A989, 0B986, 0E984, 1A005, 1C998, 2A993, 6A002.a.1, a.2, a.3, b and c, 6A003.b.3 and b.4, 6E001, 6E002, and 9A991.a.

    (2) Date of embargo. The licensing requirements in this section are effective on July 14, 1998.

    (b) Licensing policy. Applications for export or reexport of all items listed in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section are subject to a general policy of denial. Consistent with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1160, this embargo is effective notwithstanding the existence of any rights or obligations conferred or imposed by any international agreement or any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to July 14, 1998, except to the extent provided in regulations, orders, directives or licenses that may be issued in the future under Executive Order 12918 or under the EAR.

    (c) Related controls. The Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls, maintains related controls on arms and military equipment under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR parts 120-130). You should also contact the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control concerning any restrictions which might apply to U.S. persons involving financial transactions with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).
