Export Administration Regulations: Authority Citations Updates and Technical Corrections

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule revises the authority citation paragraphs for 14 parts of the Export Administration Regulations to include citations to the most recent presidential notices that extend authority for those parts or to remove an outdated citation or both. This rule also updates addresses, telephone numbers, procedures and a definition, removes some potentially confusing language, makes a necessary conforming change to one Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and restores some language that was dropped during a Code of Federal Regulations compilation. BIS is making these changes to clarify the regulations and to provide accurate authority citations for the Code of Federal

Regulations edition that is to be compiled as of January 1, 2009.

DATES: This rule is effective December 15, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

This rule updates authority citation paragraphs and makes technical clarifications and revisions to the Export Administration Regulations as more fully described below.

Authority Citation Updates

Since 2001, the authority citations for all parts of the Export

Administration Regulations except part 745 have changed annually as successive presidential notices have extended the emergency declared in

Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (which continued the Export

Administration Act (EAA) and the EAR in force upon expiration of the

EAA). Most recently the notice of July 23, 2008 (73 FR 43603, July 25, 2008) extended this emergency until August 17, 2009. In addition, the authority citations for parts 730, 734, 736, 742, 744 and 745 of the

EAR have changed annually as successive presidential notices have extended the emergency declared in Executive Order 12938--Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Most recently the notice of November 10, 2008 (73 FR 67097, November 12, 2008) extended this emergency until

November 14, 2009. This rule updates the authority citations paragraphs for parts 730, 734, 736, 742, 743, 745, 747, 754, 758, 764, 766, and 768 of the EAR to reflect the most recent applicable authority citations because authority citation paragraphs for those parts have not been updated by other EAR amendments. This rule also revises the authority citation paragraph for parts 740, 754 and 772 to remove one outdated citation. These revisions are needed so that the annual compilation of Title 15 of the Code of Federal Regulations as of

January 1, 2009 will reflect current authority citations for all EAR parts.

Updated Address and Telephone Information

This rule updates the BIS office address and telephone number information in Sec. 730.8(c).

Page 75943

Updated Display of Approved Information Collections

Supplement No. 1 to part 730 of the EAR contains a table displaying the control numbers, the titles and the references in the EAR of information collections contained in the EAR that have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This rule revises the title of the information collection identified by control number 0607-0152 to read ``Automated Export System (AES) Program'' to reflect the name change for that collection that OMB approved on November 5, 2008.

Updated Address and Procedure for Requests To Appoint a Technical

Advisory Committee

Supplement No. 2 to part 730 sets forth certain provisions regarding BIS's technical advisory committees. This rule adds the title

``Assistant Secretary for Export Administration'' to the address to which requests to appoint a new technical advisory committee should be sent and removes the statement that such requests be sent via courier.

These changes reflect BIS's actual practice regarding requests to appoint technical advisory committees.

Removal of Potentially Confusing Language Regarding De Minimis Content of Foreign Made Items

The Export Administration Regulations do not apply to most items that were produced and are located outside the United States and that contain no more than the ``de minimis'' level of U.S. origin content as set forth in Sec. 734.4. As noted in Sec. 732.2(d), this de minimis exclusion applies only to items that are not located in the United

States. This rule removes Sec. 734.3(b)(4), which could have been read as applying the de minimis exclusion to items in the United States.

Section 734.3(b)(4) is also redundant to Sec. 734.3(a)(3)(ii), indicating that the Regulations do apply to items that contain U.S. origin commodities, software or technology in quantities exceeding the de minimis levels.

Clarification of Procedure for Requests To Take an Action That Would

Otherwise Be Prohibited by a Denial Order

Section 764.3(a)(2), among other things, describes the procedure for requesting authorization to take an action that would otherwise be prohibited by an order denying export privileges. Requests for such authorizations must be submitted to the Office of Exporter Services.

This rule adds the main mailing address for that office and replaces the word ``application'' with the phrase ``written request'' to emphasize the distinction between such requests and license applications.

Updated Definition of Export Administration Review Board

Section 772.1 contains definitions of terms that are used in the

EAR. Prior to publication of this rule, one such definition ``Export

Administration Review Board,'' described that board in terms of its duties and members. However, the duties and membership of that board can change from time-to-time. This rule revises the definition to identify the Export Administration Review Board unambiguously in terms of the Executive Order that created it and the Executive Order that gives it a role in export licensing decisions. BIS has no power to alter the membership of this board as set by Executive Order.

Technical and Conforming Change to ECCN 1C202

On January 15, 1998, the heading of Export Control Classification

Number 1C202 was revised to read in pertinent part ``Alloys other than those controlled by 1C002.a.2.c or [1C002.a.2].d * * *.'' (63 FR 2475,

January 15, 1998). Subsequently, ECCN 1C002 was revised to move the items controlled under paragraphs .a.2.c and .a.2.d to paragraphs .b.3 and .b.4, respectively (67 FR 462, January 3, 2002). However, the language in the heading of ECCN 1C202 (referencing the now revised ECCN 1C002) was not changed. This rule revises the pertinent language in the heading of ECCN 1C202 to read ``Alloys other than those controlled by 1C002.b.3 or 1C002.b.4 * * *.'' thereby reflecting the intent of exclusionary language in the heading of ECCN 1C202 as originally adopted.

Correcting Header Language in Category 5, Part II of the Commerce

Control List

The Commerce Control List contains headers at points in the text that identify the ten categories into which the CCL is divided and the five product groups that can appear within each category. Prior to publication of this rule, certain headers in Category 5, Part II did not follow the pattern for such headers that is used in the rest of the

CCL. This rule makes editorial changes to conform to that pattern.

Specifically, this rule: Adds the letter ``A'' to the header that identifies product group A--Systems, Equipment and Components; removes a misplaced (and duplicative) header for Category 5, Part 2; adds a previously omitted header for Category 5, Part II, Product Group B--

Test, Inspection and Production Equipment; and adds the letter ``E'' to the header that identifies product group E--Technology.

Restoring an ECCN Removed in Code of Federal Regulations Compilation

Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5B991 was created in 1998 (63 FR 2521, January 15, 1998). In 1999, BIS published two rules that revised Category 5 on the Commerce Control List.

The first such rule revised ECCNs 5A991, 5D001 and 5E001 but made no changes to 5B991 (64 FR 10861, March 5, 1999). The second such rule revised ECCNs 5A001, 5A991, 5B001, 5C001, and 5C991 but made no changes to ECCN 5B991 (64 FR 40106, July 23, 1999). BIS issued no other Federal

Register notice changing Category 5, Part I of the Commerce Control

List during calendar year 1999. Nevertheless, ECCN 5B991, which had been in the January 1, 1999 CFR compilation was not in the January 1, 2000 compilation (Compare 15 CFR Part 774, Supp. No. 1 (1999) to 15 CFR

Part 774 (Supp. No. 1 (2000)). This rule restores ECCN 5B991, which appears to have been inadvertently omitted from the January 1, 2000 CFR compilation and has not appeared in the CFR since. This rule also replaces the phrase LVS: ``$1,000 for Syria; N/A to Iran'' in the

License Exception of ECCN 5B991 with ``LVS: N/A'' because any authorization to use License Exception LVS for shipments to Syria is precluded by BIS's General Order No. 2 of May 14, 2004 (15 CFR Part 736, Supp. No. 1) and the reference to Iran is merely a specific instance of the general principle set forth in Sec. 740.3(a) of the

EAR that License Exception LVS may be used only when identified by a stated value limit in the applicable ECCN. With the removal the value limit for Syria, there is no longer any stated value limit in ECCN 5B991 that would apply to any destination. Therefore, continued reference to Iran would be superfluous.

Rulemaking Requirements 1. This rule is not a significant rule for purposes of Executive

Order 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 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 that has been approved by the OMB under control number 0694-0088, which carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes to

Page 75944

prepare and submit form BIS-748. Miscellaneous and recordkeeping activities account for 12 minutes per submission. BIS believes that this rule will make no change to the number of submissions or to the burden imposed by this collection. 3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132. 4. For all provisions of this rule other than the revision it makes to ECCN 1C202, BIS finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure

Act requiring prior notice and the opportunity for public comment because they are unnecessary given that these revisions are not substantive changes to the EAR. These revisions are administrative in nature and do not affect the rights and obligations of the public. In addition, the 30-day delay in effectiveness required by 5 U.S.C. 553(d) is not applicable because this rule is not a substantive rule. With respect to the revision that this rule makes to ECCN 1C202, the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable because this regulation involves a military or foreign affairs function of the United States under 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1). No other law requires that notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this rule; therefore, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable.
