Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations Related to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR)

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Commerce Control List (CCL) to reflect the reformatted Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex of October 14, 1999. This final rule also amends Country Group A:2, MTCR, to add the Czech Republic, Korea (Republic of), Poland, Turkey, and Ukraine to reflect their membership in the MTCR. This revision also corrects the control text in 9B106 that erroneously captures standalone altitude chambers, and corrects the MT/NP reason for control of spin forming and flow forming machines described in 2B009.

DATES: This rule is effective April 2, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharron Cook, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, Telephone: (202) 482-2440.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) is an export control arrangement among 33 nations including the world's most advanced suppliers of ballistic missiles and missile-related materials and equipment. The regime is designed to stem the spread of rockets and unmanned air vehicles systems capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction by establishing a common export control policy (the Guidelines) and a shared list of controlled items (the Annex) that each country implements with its own national legislation.

While the MTCR was originally meant to prevent the spread of missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, it was expanded in January 1993 to also cover delivery systems for chemical and biological weapons. The only absolute prohibition in the regime's Guidelines is on the transfer of complete ``production facilities'' for specially designed items in Category I of the MTCR Annex.

Unlike the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which seeks to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, the MTCR is neither an international treaty nor a legally binding agreement. MTCR members voluntarily pledge to adopt the regime's export Guidelines and to restrict the export of items contained in the regime's Annex. Except for production facilities specially designed for Category I items, trade of MTCR controlled items is not absolutely prohibited by the Guidelines, but is constrained by national export control laws and policies.

Membership

The current membership of the MTCR includes: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea (Republic of), Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and United States (original members in bold).

While all nations have been encouraged to abide by the MTCR's terms, not all states have been invited to become formal regime members. Membership decisions, like all other regime decisions, are made only by consensus. Regime partners attend annual meetings, share information about other nations' export control programs and proliferation concerns, conduct export control workshops and are involved in revising and updating the regime's Guidelines and technical Annex. Meetings are not public due to the sensitive nature of the discussions.

This final rule amends Country Group A:2, Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), to add the Czech Republic, Korea (Republic of), Poland, Turkey, and Ukraine. Country Groups are used to identify groups of countries for ease of reference when stating license requirements, license review policy or eligibility for License Exceptions. These countries were admitted to the MTCR. Consequently, the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) are amended to reflect the new status of these countries.

This rule also amends the Commerce Control List (CCL) to reflect the reformatted MTCR Annex of October 14, 1999 (Noordwijk/TEM). The reformatting of the MTCR Annex was an exercise in redrafting the Annex to conform to the former CoCom List structure that contains five individual groupings for the ``Equipment, Assemblies and Components'', ``Test and Production Equipment'', ``Materials'', ``Software'' and ``Technology''. Most of our MTCR partners are intimately familiar with such a list structure and it facilitates ease in translating the MTCR Annex changes to national legislation. This is the same structure used in the CCL and European Union List. As a result of reformatting and the need to succinctly separate software and technology controls, the revisions in this rule provide clarity and ensure consistent interpretations. The MTCR adopted a software definition, general software note and general technology note, consistent with those outlined in the Wassenaar Arrangement. The reformatted MTCR Annex includes adopted changes to clarify the equipment intended to be controlled by the MTCR for testing, calibrating and aligning inertial equipment (e.g., balancing machines, motion simulators/rate tables, positioning tables, etc.), production equipment for manufacturing propellants, and control of certain specialty steels for manufacturing missiles. These changes were published in the Federal Register/Vol. 64, No. 25 on February 8, 1999. However, our MTCR partners chose to wait for the adoption of the reformatted Annex before publishing these changes. Consequently, in this revision to the EAR, several Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) had to be renumbered and/or subdivided into multiple entries. For example, the balancing machines, motion simulators/rate tables, positioning tables, and centrifuges controlled in 7B104.a through .e have been moved to new individual entries under 2B119 through 2B122. Continuous mixers and fluid energy mills controlled in 1B117 have been moved to new ECCNs 1B118 and 1B119, respectively. Other revisions to the EAR include relaxation in the controls of certain metal fuels described in 1C111 by reducing their particle size. The metal fuels include magnesium, beryllium, boron, zirconium and spherical aluminum powders. For spherical aluminum powder an additional parameter on particle size distribution has been introduced to ensure that a sufficient amount of such powder with small enough particle sizes remains controlled. This revision also corrects the control text in 9B106 that erroneously captures standalone altitude chambers, and corrects the MT/NP reason for control of spin forming and flow forming machines described in 2B009.

This rule replaces references to the ``Office of Defense Trade Controls'' with the ``Directorate of Defense Trade Controls,'' because the State Department realigned responsibilities for

[[Page 16145]]

administering defense trade controls, on January 16, 2003.

The summary of changes listed here shows those ECCNs that are impacted by the reformatting and is not intended to be a comprehensive list of changes.

Saving Clause

This rule revises the numbering and structure of certain entries on the Commerce Control List. For items under such entries and for July 1, 2003, BIS will accept license applications for items described either by the entries in effect immediately before April 2, 2003 or the entries described in this rule. Shipments of items removed from License Exception eligibility or NLR authorization 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 April 2, 2003, pursuant to actual orders for export to a foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous License Exception eligibility or NLR authorization provisions so long as they have been exported from the United States before June 2, 2003. Any such items not actually exported before midnight, on June 2, 2003, require a license in accordance with this regulation.

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.

Rule Making 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 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 current valid OMB 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. There are neither additions nor subtractions to these collections due to this rule.

3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism as that term is defined in 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 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.
