AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
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) 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 harmonize with 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, 4, 5 Part I (telecommunications), 5 Part II (information security), 6, 7, 8, and 9; adding new entries to the CCL, revising reporting requirements and adding and amending EAR Definitions.
The purpose of this final rule is to revise the CCL and definitions of terms used in the EAR to implement Wassenaar List revisions that were agreed upon in the December 2008 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary
Meeting.
This rule also adds or expands unilateral U.S. export controls and national security export controls on certain items to make them consistent with the amendments made to implement the Wassenaar
Arrangement's decisions.
The Wassenaar Agreements that pertain to ECCNs 6A002, 6A003, and all related ECCNs will be implemented in a separate rule, because of the sensitivity of the items and complexity of procedures and controls for these items.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective December 11, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
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 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 a common understanding of the risks associated with the transfers of these items.
Expanded or New Export Controls
A detailed description may be found below of all revisions to
Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) that have expanded or new export controls.
This rule imposes new or expands National Security (NS) Column 1 controls. This rule imposes a license requirement pursuant to section 742.4(a) of the EAR for exports and reexports to all destinations, except Canada, of certain commodities (and related software and technology) described in ECCN 5A002.a.7. This rule also imposes such a license requirement for certain software and technology controlled under ECCNs 5E001.c.6, .d, and .e, and 6D003.c. These destinations have an ``X'' in NS column 1 of 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 in Supplement
No. 1 to Part 736 of the EAR for Syria.
This rule imposes new or expands NS Column 2 controls. 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 1A004.d, 1A008, 3A001.b.10 and .h, 5A001.h, 6A001.c, and 6A008.j.3 to destinations other than Country
Group A:1, cooperating countries (see Supplement No. 1 to Part 740 of the EAR), Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. This NS column 2 license requirement applies to destinations that 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 control is to ensure that these items do not make a contribution to the military potential of countries in Country Group D:1 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
Page 66001
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 reexports 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 imposes new or expands anti-terrorism (AT) controls. This rule imposes a unilateral U.S. license requirement to export and reexport commodities (and related software and technology) controlled under ECCNs 1A004.d, 1A008, 3A001.b.10 and .h, 5A001.h, 5A002.a.7, 6A001.c, and 6A008.j.3 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.
This rule also imposes such a license requirement for certain software and technology controlled under ECCNs 5E001.c.6, .d, and .e, and 6D003.c. These unilateral export controls are necessary 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 that could enhance the ability of such country to support acts of international terrorism. There is a general policy of denial for applications to export or reexport 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.
All expanded foreign policy controls will be reflected in the
Annual Foreign Policy report BIS sends to Congress.
Task Force on Editorial Issues (TFEI)
The Wassenaar Arrangement Task Force on Editorial Issues (TFEI) made revisions, editorial in nature, to clarify or correct control text or remove extraneous text. The TFEI revisions (over 2,000) were agreed upon by the WA in December 2007. This rule implements only those TFEI revisions that coincide with the revisions to ECCNs affected by the 2008 WA agreements and the 2007 WA agreements to Category 6. Other TFEI revisions will be implemented in a separate rule.
Revisions to the Commerce Control List
This rule revises a number of entries on the Commerce Control List
(CCL) to implement the December 2008 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 in certain ECCNs. A description of the specific amendments to the CCL pursuant to the December 2008 Wassenaar Agreement is provided below.
There is one newly added ECCN--1A008, as described below. As described below, the amendments apply to ECCNs 1A001, 1A002, 1A003, 1A004, 1A007, 1A008, 1B001, 1B003, 1C008 1C010, 1D003, 1E001, 1E002, 2A983, 3A001, 3A002, 3B001, 4D001, 4D003, 4E001, 5A001, 5B001, 5D001, 5E001, 5A002, 5B002, 5D002, 5E002, 6A001, 6A004, 6A005, 6A006, 6A008, 6A996, 6D003, 6E993, 7A003, 8A001, 8A002, and 9A012.
Category 1 Special Materials and Related Equipment, Chemicals,
``Microorganisms,'' and Toxins
This rule revises the name of the Category 1 from ``Materials,
Chemicals, ``Microorganisms,'' and Toxins'' to read ``Special Materials and Related Equipment, Chemicals, ``Microorganisms,'' and Toxins'' to more clearly describe the scope of items within this category as it has evolved over recent years (e.g., addition of explosive related items).
ECCN 1A001 is amended by: a. Adding two commas to 1A001.a and 1A001.b, as part of the TFEI revisions to clarify the meaning of these paragraphs; and b. Modifying the format of paragraph 1A001.c to clarify that the items must contain both criteria. This change was made as part of the
TFEI changes.
ECCN 1A002 is amended as follows: a. Removing the redundant Note after 1A002.a, which also appeared after 1A002.b.2 to harmonize with the Wassenaar Arrangement's List; b. Replacing the word ``with'' with the phrase ``having all of the following'' to clarify the meaning of 1A002.b.1. This change was made as part of the TFEI changes; c. Moving or adding three Notes after 1A002.b.2 to clarify that all three apply to the entire entry for ECCN 1A002. The modifications are:
Moving the existing Note concerning the repair of ``civil aircraft'' so that it appears as Note 1; moving the existing Note about civilian applications to Note 2; and adding Note 3 to release certain finished or semi-finished items from 1A002 control because these items do not have a direct influence on development, production or use on military relevant equipment; and d. Removing Technical Notes 1 and 2 that provided definitions for
`specific modulus' and `specific tensile strength' because these terms are global definitions used in multiple ECCNs and are found in Part 772 of the EAR.
ECCN 1A003 is amended by: a. Revising the Heading to correct the spelling of ``polyimides'' and to clarify that non-fusible aromatic polyimide products in film, sheet, tape or ribbon form with certain characteristics are appropriately controlled in ECCN 1A003, because a clarification Note was approved by Wassenaar in 2006 that identified the forms of non- fluorinated polymeric substances controlled by 1C008.a to include liquid or solids in the form of resin, powder, pellet, film, sheet, tape, or ribbon. It was not the intent, however, to override the existing Note in 1C008.a for non-fusible forms. a.1. Deleting the word ``characteristics'' from the Heading as part of the TFEI revisions. b. Revising the Related Controls to add a reference to 1C008.a.3 for ``fusible'' aromatic polyimides in any form; and c. Replacing ``With a'' with ``A'' as a TFEI format change.
ECCN 1A004 is amended, as follows: a. Adding two commas to the Heading to clarify the meaning of the text, as part of the TFEI revisions. b. Revising the License Requirement section to add RS Column 2 controls for 1A004.d to keep the same controls that were in ECCN 2A983.b, which are necessary because of the military utility of these commodities. b.1. Adding single quotation marks around the term `adapted for use in war' in related definitions and in 1A004.a, .b and .c and the term
`riot control agents' in the related definitions section and in 1A004.a.4. b.2. Adding a greek alpha symbol in front of
``Bromobenzeneacetonitrile'' in 1A004.a.4.a and adding a greek omega symbol in front of ``chloroacetophenone'' in 1A004.a.4.c to conform to
Wassenaar text. c. Adding a new paragraph 1A004.d to control electronic equipment designed for automatically detecting or identifying the presence of
``explosives'' (as listed in the annex at the end of
Page 66002
Category 1) residues and utilizing `trace detection' techniques (e.g., surface acoustic wave, ion mobility spectrometry, differential mobility spectrometry, mass spectrometry). These new controls are added for this equipment to prevent potential terrorists from discovering how to defeat the devices and ensure they are used by properly vetted organizations. d. Adding a new Technical Note to define `trace detection'. e. Adding two new Notes to indicate that 1A004.d does not control equipment specially designed for laboratory use or non-contact walk- through security portals. f. Revising paragraph b of the existing decontrol Note to clarify that 1A004 does not control equipment limited by design or function to protect against hazards specific to residential safety.
ECCN 1A007 is amended by: a. Removing the License Requirement Note in order to conform to the
Wassenaar List; and b. Removing the last sentence in Technical Note 2, because it is redundant to text already included in the Technical Note.
ECCN 1A008 is added to control (explosive) charges, devices and components for national security reasons. The addition is necessary to make these items controlled by all participating states of WA, because of their utility in conventional weapons. The United States and others have unilaterally controlled these items for several years and there is agreement by the WA to broaden control of terrorist related items, such as these. Most of these items were controlled under ECCN 1C018, as well as under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) by the
Directorate of Defense Trade Control (DDTC) of the Department of State.
Now these items will be controlled for NS:2, AT:1, and UN (Iraq, North
Korea and Rwanda) reasons under ECCN 1A008. Because of the creation of this new ECCN 1A008, this rule makes corresponding changes to ECCN 1C018 (deletion of 1C018.a, .b, and .i). A reference to ECCNs 1C018 and 1C992 is included in the Related Control paragraph of ECCN 1A008, and a reference to 1A008 is added to the Related Controls paragraph of 1C018.
In addition, Related Control notes concerning State Department jurisdiction that were in 1C018 are also added to 1A008 when appropriate.
ECCN 1B001 is amended by revising the phrase ``and/or'' to read
``or'' in paragraph f.2 of the List of Items Controlled section, to clarify the meaning of the text, as part of the TFEI revisions.
ECCN 1B003 is amended by: a. Revising the Heading by replacing an ``or'' with a comma, and adding the phrase ``any of the following'' to clarify the text as part of the TFEI revisions; and b. Revising paragraph 1B003.c to be more specific about which structures (1B003.a) and engines (1B003.b) the specially designed components are controlled for, as part of the TFEI revisions.
ECCN 1C008 is amended by: a. Removing a comma in the Heading to clarify the text as part of the TFEI revisions; b. Revising Note 1 by revising the phrase ``solid form'' to read
``solid fusible form'' to make it clear that the intent was not to specify non-fusible forms; c. Replacing Note 2 with a Nota Bene to reference ECCN 1A003 for controls for non-``fusible'' aromatic polyimides in film, sheet, tape, or ribbon form; d. Removing the redundant word ``acids'' from 1C008.b.2 as part of the TFEI revisions, because acid appears as a descriptor in each of the subparagraphs; and e. Adding single quotes around the term `glass transition temperature (Tg)' in 1C008.f, and in the Technical Note that follows, because this term is defined in the Technical Note that follows this paragraph.
ECCN 1C010 is amended by: a. Adding a comma in the Heading to clarify the text as part of the
TFEI revisions; b. Adding double quotes around the terms ``specific modulus'' and
``specific tensile strength'' in paragraphs 1C010.a.1, a.2, b.1, b.2, c.1, and Note 1 after c.2, because these terms are defined in Part 772 of the EAR; c. Adding a reference to ``ISO 10618 (2004) 10.2.1 Method A'' in the Technical Note following paragraph 1C010.b.2 and removing a reference to an example of a national equivalent tow test ``such as
Japanese Industrial Standard JIS-R-7601, Paragraph 6.6.2'' to clarify how better to determine the properties for materials described in 1C010.b; d. Replacing the word ``percent'' with the percent symbol in the
Note to 1C010.c; e. Re-indexing the sub-entries in the Note to 1C010.c to conform to the WA text; f. Adding a comma and the phrase ``having any of the following'' in 1C010.d; g. Adding a comma after ``as follows'' and adding the phrase
``having all of the following'' in 1C010.e; h. Removing the word ``With'' in 1C010.e.2.a and e.2.b, because it was superfluous; and i. Adding single quotes around the term `glass transition temperature (Tg)' in 1C010.e and Notes in multiple locations to indicate that this term is defined within this ECCN entry.
ECCN 1C018 is amended by: a. Adding a Related Control Note 8 to reference ECCN 1A008 for shaped charges, detonating cord, and cutters and severing tools, so the public will know to where these items were moved; b. Adding a Related Control Note 9 to read ``See ECCN 1E001 for the ``development'' or ``production'' ``technology'' for the commodities controlled by ECCN 1C018, but not explosives or energetic materials that are under the jurisdiction of U.S. Department of State,
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.'' c. Removing and reserving paragraphs 1C018.a and .i, because these items are now controlled under the newly created ECCN 1A008, as well as adding a reference to ECCN 1A008 in the Related Controls paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section; d. Revising paragraph 1C018.b to remove the words ``Detonating cord or'', because this item was moved to ECCN1A008.
ECCN 1D003 is amended by adding a reference to the Heading for the newly added paragraph 1A004.d, to add controls over software specially designed or modified to enable electronic equipment designed for automatically detecting or identifying the presence of ``explosives''.
RS controls are also being added to this software, because of the utility in conventional weapons.
ECCN 1E001 is amended by: a. Revising the reference to 1A006 to read 1A006.b in the Heading and in the NS Column 1 control paragraph, to focus the technology control to the development or production of `disruptors'; b. Adding 1A008 to the Heading and to the NS Column 1 control paragraph, because 1E001 applies to all 1A ECCNs controlled for NS reasons; c. Removing 1C992 from the list of ECCNs not controlled by 1E001, because the technology used to develop and produce 1C018 is the same as that used to develop and produce 1C992 commodities; d. Adding ``RS'' to the Reasons for Control paragraph; and e. Adding RS Column 2 controls for technology for the development, production, or use of 1A004.d to maintain RS controls formerly imposed under ECCN 2E983;
Page 66003
f. Adding 1A008 to the NS:1 controls;
ECCN 1E002 is amended by: a. Removing a comma in the Heading to correct the punctuation, as a
TFEI revision; b. Removing the word ``characteristics'' from 1E002.c.1 because it was unnecessary, as part of the TFEI revisions; c. Revising paragraphs c.1.b, c.1.b.1, and c.1.b.2 to clarify the text as part of the TFEI revisions; d. Replacing the period with a semi-colon at the end of 1E002.f to fix the punctuation as part of the TFEI revisions; e. Adding single quotes around the term `libraries' in paragraph 1E002.g because it is a term defined in the Technical Note that follows that paragraph; f. Adding a reference in 1E002.g to 1A004.d to control `libraries' related to electronic equipment designed for automatically detecting or identifying the presence of ``explosives''; and g. Removing the words ``the term'' in the Technical Note following paragraph 1E002.g, because these words were unnecessary in the sentence.
An Annex ``List of Explosives (see ECCNs 1A004 and 1A008)'' is added to the end of Category 1 in order to clarify the controls in
ECCNs 1A004 and 1A008.
Category 2 Materials Processing
ECCN 2A983 is amended by removing and reserving paragraph b in the
Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled, because this type of explosive detection equipment is now controlled for national security reasons under ECCN 1A004 and the technology is controlled for regional stability reasons under 1E001.d.
Category 3 Electronics
Category 3 is amended by removing the last sentence in the Nota
Bene which appears at the beginning of Category 3 and states ``If the integrated circuit is a silicon-based ``microcomputer microcircuit'' or microcontroller microcircuit described in 3A001.a.3 having an operand
(data) word length of 8 bit or less, the status of the integrated circuit is determined in 3A001.a.3'', because in 2005 the Wassenaar
Arrangement removed microcircuits manufactured from a silicon based semiconductor from 3A001.a.3.
ECCN 3A001 is amended by: a. Revising the License Exception GBS eligibility paragraph to add newly controlled 3A001.b.10 (oscillators or oscillator assemblies) and 3A001.h (solid-state power semiconductor switches, diodes, or
`modules'). a.1. Adding dashes in front of each of the listed items in Note 2 after 3A001.a to be consistent with WA text. b. Revising the control parameters for `field programmable logic devices' in 3A001.a.7, by replacing 3A001.a.7.a through a.7.c with new paragraphs 3A001.a.7.a and 3A001.a.7.b. The parameters for field programmable logic devices were confusing, difficult to apply, and dated. The new control parameters are clearer and take into account advances in technology. c. Adding Technical Note 2 after 3A001.a.7.b to help people better understand the scope of this entry. d. Revising the parameters for 3A001.a.10 (Custom integrated circuits for which the function is unknown, or the control status of the equipment in which the integrated circuits will be used is unknown to the manufacturer) from more than ``1,000 terminals'' to ``1,500 terminals'' in 3A001.a.10.a, and from a typical ``basic gate propagation delay time'' of less than ``0.1 ns'' to ``0.02 ns'' in 3A001.a.10.b. The threshold for the number of terminals for custom integrated circuits is increased to 1,500, because integrated circuits with more than 1,000 terminals are losing controllability, and more terminals are needed for civil use integrated circuits. e. Revising the average output power density parameter for microwave power amplifiers in 3A001.b.8.b to read ``average output power to mass ratio'' in order to avoid any confusion with the parameter for antenna output, because, in the case of RF transmission, power density is normally expressed in terms of Watts per unit area (W/ m2) and usually applies to antenna output. e.1. Removing a comma after (MPM) to correct the punctuation in 3A001.b.9; f. Adding a new paragraph 3A001.b.10 to control oscillators or oscillator assemblies and a new Technical Note to clarify calculations involving operating frequency. This new control concerns the enhanced control of equipment for generating low phase noise signals, i.e., synthesized frequency generators, stable oscillators and stable oscillator assemblies. Low phase noise performance is especially important for search radar systems, as it determines the ultimate capability of the radar to detect low radar cross-section platforms in the presence of clutter, which is especially useful for military applications. The stable oscillator sets the baseline noise performance of these systems. Commercial applications for low phase noise oscillators include digital radio using Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
(QAM), low-jitter communications, photonic-based communications and low-cost reference oscillators for accurate phase measurements. Low phase noise test equipment is commonly used for the research development and evaluation of modern wireless communication applications including cellular phones, commercial satellites and local area networks (LANs). g. Removing the parenthetical phrase ``(i.e., `signal processing' devices employing elastic waves in materials)'' from 3A001.c.1 and c.2, because this example caused more confusion than clarity. h. Adding single quotes around the term `frequency side-lobe rejection' in 3A001.c.1.b.1 and c.1.c.3 to indicate that this is a defined term in the entry and adding a Technical Note below 3A001.c.1.c.3 to define the term. i. Revising the `frequency side-lobe rejection' parameter from ``55 dB'' to ``65 dB'' in 3A001.c.1.b.1 and c.1.c.3 because of technological advances. j. Revising the frequency parameter for bulk (volume) acoustic wave devices in 3A001.c.2 from ``2.5 GHz'' to ``6 GHz'' because of technological advances. k. Adding a Note after 3A001.c.3 to exclude acoustic wave devices that are limited to a single band pass, low pass, high pass or notch filtering, or resonating function from 3A001.c control; l. Revise the text ```Cells' and photovoltaic arrays as follows:'' to read ``'Cells' as follows:'' in 3A001.e.1 to correct an error in the rule published on October 14, 2008 (73 FR 60910) when photovoltaic arrays were removed from this paragraph; l.1. Adding single quotes around the term `secondary cells' to indicate that this term is defined in this entry. m. Replacing the period with a semi-colon in 3A001.e.4 to correct the punctuation as part of the TFEI revisions. n. Revising the parameters for rotary input type absolute position encoders in 3A001.f by removing the two subparagraphs 3A001.f.1 and f.2 and replacing the accuracy of ``better than 2.5 seconds of arc'' with ``equal to or less (i.e., better) than 1.0 second of arc'' because of technological advances. n.1. Replacing a period with a semi-colon after 3A001.g.2.b to correct punctuation for the addition of 3A001.h. o. Adding a new paragraph 3A001.h to control solid-state power semiconductor switches, diodes, and `modules', as well as a Technical
Note to define `modules'. Several Notes are also added: Note 1 to explain repetitive peak off-state voltage; Note 2 to provide the scope
(parameters) of 3A001.h; and
Page 66004
Note 3 to explain that 3A001.h does not apply to switches, diodes, or
'modules' incorporated into equipment designed for civil automobile, civil railway, or ``civil aircraft'' applications. This new control for solid-state power semiconductor switches is added, because for military applications such as combat vehicles, even a small improvement in the maximum junction temperature of switches can have a big impact on reducing heat exchanger volume and weight--thus permitting the power converter to operate at a higher frequency, resulting in reduced power converter volume.
ECCN 3A002 is amended by: a. Removing a comma in 3A002.a.6 to correct the punctuation; a.1. Making a technical correction to the switching time control from ``10 ns'' to ``312 ps'' to correlate this control to the carrier frequency points and bandwidths referenced in 3A002.d.3; and b. Adding a minimum synthesized frequency parameter of 3.2 GHz for synthesized signal generators in 3A002.d.4, as well as increasing
(i.e., tightening) the phase noise control threshold in frequency regimes of greatest concern to the military, while leaving most commercial instruments uncontrolled. Also, by adding a Technical Note for 3A002.d.4 to explain what the ``F'' is in the parameter. 3B001 is amended by: a. Adding a new Note after 3B001.a.1 to explain that 3B001.a.1 includes atomic layer epitaxy equipment; and b. Replacing the word ``and'' with a comma to correct the grammar in 3B001.f.3.
Category 4 Computers
ECCN 4D001 is amended by: a. Revising the Heading to harmonize with the Wassenaar Arrangement list; b. Revising the Adjusted Peak Performance (APP) parameter in the
License Exception TSR paragraph from 0.1 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT) to 0.5
WT to harmonize with the increase in the APP control threshold and in consideration of technological advances; c. Adding the phrase ``equipment as follows'' to the end of 4D001.b to clarify this sentence, as part of the TFEI revisions; and d. Revising the APP parameter from ``0.04 WT'' to ``0.10 WT'' in 4D001.b.1, because processor technology is expected to continue to advance while transistors continue to shrink in size. The control level for software and technology is adjusted to 0.10 WT in consideration of the processors that are available in 2009.
ECCN 4D003 is amended by: a. Revising the Heading by making the former 4D003.c the Heading, because 4D003.c is the only paragraph left in the entry; b. Revising the License Exception TSR paragraph to replace the existing text ``Yes, except 4D003.c'' with ``N/A'', because 4D003.c is now the Heading; c. Revising the Related Controls paragraph to direct the reader to
Category 5, Part 2, regarding the treatment of information security; d. Deleting 4D003.a (Operating system ``software'', ``software'' development tools and compilers specially designed for ``multi-data- stream processing'' equipment, in ``source code''), because nearly all hardware now includes support for ``multi-data-stream processing'' and a huge array of software available in ``source code'' is readily available throughout the world and on the internet; and e. Removing paragraph 4D003.c and moving this control parameter to the Heading, because it's the only paragraph left in this entry.
WA agreed to remove the definition for ``multi-data stream processing'' from the WA definitions, because WA agreed to remove 4D003.a which was the only place where the term was used on the WA list. However, the term is still used on the CCL in ECCN 4E993, a unilateral entry, and therefore, this rule does not remove the term
``multi-data-stream processing'' from Part 772 of the EAR.
ECCN 4E001 is amended by: a. Revising the Heading by making editorial revisions as part of the TFEI revisions; b. Revising the License Exception TSR paragraph by revising the APP threshold from ``0.1 WT'' to ``0.5 WT'' to harmonize with the increase in the APP control threshold and in consideration of technological advances; c. Adding the phrase ``equipment as follows'' to the end of 4E001.b to clarify this sentence, as part of the TFEI revisions; and d. Revising the APP parameter from ``0.04 WT'' to ``0.10 WT'' in 4E001.b.1, because processor technology is expected to continue to advance while transistors continue to shrink in size. The control level for software and technology is adjusted to 0.10 WT in consideration of the processors currently available.
Category 5, Part I Telecommunications
ECCN 5A001 is amended by: a. Revising the NS Column 2 control paragraph to add 5A001.h, which is a newly added control for electronic equipment designed or modified to prematurely activate or prevent the initiation of Radio Controlled
Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIED); b. Revising the License Exception LVS paragraph to add eligibility for 5A001.h at the $5,000 limit to accommodate low value shipments to countries listed in Country Group B; c. Revising 5A001.f, f.1, and f.2 by making editorial revisions as part of the TFEI revisions; d. Adding a new parameter paragraph 5A001.f.3, regarding jamming equipment, to ensure that telephony systems cannot be disrupted by undesirable elements and organizations; e. Replacing the reference to the ``Munitions List'' with the equivalent U.S. regulations ``International Traffic in Arms Regulations
(ITAR) (22 CFR Parts 120-130)'' in the Nota Bene following 5A001.f.3; f. Removing a period from ``5A001.g.'' to read ``5A001.g'' in the
Note after 5A001.g to correction the punctuation; and g. Adding a new control paragraph 5A001.h to control electronic equipment designed or modified to prematurely activate or prevent the initiation of Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices as part of the multilateral effort to stem terrorist activities. h. Adding a Nota Bene after paragraph 5A001.h to reference the
ITAR, because some specific equipment classified under 5A001.h may be under the jurisdiction of the Directorate of Defense Trade Control,
Department of State.
ECCN 5B001 is amended by: a. Revising the Heading to add clarifying text to more accurately describe the scope of this entry as part of the TFEI revisions. b. Removing reference to ECCNs 5D001 and 5E001 from 5B001.a to remove the ambiguity of the reference. c. Adding a comma to 5B001.a to clarify the text as part of the
TFEI revisions; d. Removing a period from ``5B001.a.'' to read ``5B001.a'' in the
Note after 5B001.a to correct the punctuation. e. Adding text that limits the scope of parameter in 5B001.b.2.b to clarify that this paragraph does not control equipment for development of optical amplification using praseodymium-doped fibers, and that this control is limited to equipment for development of praseodymium-doped fibers. The control language of 5B001.b.2 is nearly identical to that of 5E001.c.2, which indicates that these two sections were intended to be harmonized. Nevertheless, the scope of control of optical amplification in 5B001.b.2.b (all optical amplification) is much broader than the corresponding scope of control in 5E001.c.2.b (limited to optical
Page 66005
amplification using praseodymium-doped fluoride fiber amplifiers
(PDFFA)). f. Capitalizing the words ``Quadrature-Amplitude-Modulation'' in 5B001.b.4 because it is followed by an acronym, as part of the TFEI revisions.
ECCN 5D001 is amended by; a. Revising the Heading to make editorial revisions as part of the
TFEI revisions; b. Adding a comma after ``equipment'' and removing a comma and replacing the period with a semi-colon in 5D001.a to correct the punctuation as part of the TFEI revisions; c. Removing the reference to 5B001 in 5D001.a because the intent was to refer to 5A001 only; d. Replacing a period with a semi-colon in 5D001.b and .c to correct the punctuation, as part of the TFEI revisions; e. Adding a comma to the number 1750 in 5D001.d.2.a to correct the punctuation, as part of the TFEI revisions; and f. Capitalizing Quadrature-Amplitude-Modulation in 5D001.d.4 because it is followed by an acronym, as part of the TFEI revisions.
ECCN 5E001 is amended by: a. Removing a comma in the Heading to correct the punctuation as part of the TFEI revisions. b. Making editorial revisions in 5E001.a, including removing the reference to ECCN 5B001 and revising the reference to 5D001 to read 5D001.a, to focus the ECCN on control, as part of the TFEI revisions. c. Revising ``technologies'' to read ``technology'' and removing a comma in 5E001.b to correct the sentence as part of the TFEI revisions. d. Replacing the period with a semi-colon in 5E001.b.4 to correct the punctuation as part of the TFEI revisions. e. Removed the phrase ``telecommunication transmission or switching equipment, functions or features'' in 5E001.c because it was unnecessary, as part of the TFEI revisions. f. Capitalized ``Praseodymium-Doped Fluoride Fiber Amplifiers'' in 5E001.c.2.b, because it is followed by an acronym, as part of the TFEI revisions. g. Replacing the control parameter ``exceeding 8 optical carriers in a single optical window'' with ``of optical carriers at less than 100 GHz spacing'' for equipment employing a ``laser'' in 5E001.c.2.d.
``The number of optical carriers in a single window'' is not technically adequate in specifying such equipment because the size of
``a single window'' (equal to the range of wavelength) is not always the same. Therefore, ``spacing'' in GHz was adopted as the parameter for defining this technology. h. Adding a Nota Bene to reference Product Group E of Category 6 for ``technology'' for the ``development'' or ``production'' of non- telecommunications equipment employing a ``laser''. i. Capitalizing the words ``Amplitude-Modulation'' in 5E001.c.4.a because it is followed by an acronym, as part of the TFEI revisions. j. Making minor changes to 5E001.c.4.c (removing the word ``or'' from the end of that clause) and c.5 (inserting the word ``or'' at the end of that clause), as a result of adding a new paragraph 5E001.c.6 to control ``technology'' according to the General Technology Note for the
``development'' or ``production'' of mobile equipment. Until recently, component technology and related communications technology have been the major obstacles in developing practical, wideband UV communications systems. However, component technology has recently advanced.
Ultraviolet communications systems technology provides a means of highly covert, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communications and Ethernet- speed wireless digital communications which are of strategic interest and concern. k. Adding two new paragraphs 5E001.d and .e to control
``technology'' according to the General Technology Note for the
``development'' or ``production'' of Microwave Monolithic Integrated
Circuit (MMIC) power amplifiers specially designed for telecommunications, and electronic devices and circuits containing components manufactured from ``superconductive'' materials, specially designed for telecommunications. The aim of these new controls is to clarify the status of technology for the development or production of two classes of components, MMIC power amplifiers and superconductor devices. If the devices are not specially designed for telecommunications and specified in Category 3, the corresponding technology for their development or production is controlled by reference in Category 3, Group E. Category 5, Part 1 did not specify
MMIC power amplifiers or superconductor devices (such as high-Q superconductor filter, used in wireless systems). As such, the controllability of the technologies was in question even where the technologies exceeded Category 3 control thresholds and were the same technologies for the more generally designed Category 3 devices. Adding the new control paragraphs to 5E001 clarifies the control status of these technologies when specially designed for telecommunications devices.
Category 5, Part 2 ``Information Security''
ECCN 5A002 is amended by: a. Making editorial changes to the Note at the beginning of the
Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section by removing the parenthesis around paragraph letters `a' through `g' to make the entry consistent with other ECCN entries as part of the TFEI revisions. b. Revising the Note at the beginning of the Items paragraph of the
List of Items Controlled section by adding a new paragraph `h' to release from 5A002 control equipment specially designed for the servicing of portable or mobile radiotelephones and similar client wireless devices that meet all the provisions of the Cryptography Note, as well as other listed parameters. The mass-marketed mobile devices include several kinds of product security features, both in hardware and ``software''. The product security features require service equipment capable of having a coded signal with the mobile devices being serviced. The equipment to be decontrolled includes test devices,
``software'' update devices and related accessories. c. Revising the Note at the beginning of the Items paragraph of the
List of Items Controlled section by adding a new paragraph `i' to exclude from control certain short-range wireless products (i.e., for personal area networks) with an operating range not exceeding 30 meters. The rationale for adding a new Note `i' is that wireless personal area networking products are not of strategic concern due to their distance limitation and predominant civil use in applications such as home entertainment systems, peripherals for laptops and personal computers, cell phone headsets, iPod headphones and home/ business/industrial automation. A limitation of 30 meters is the typical range of such equipment according to the manufacturers' specifications. This equipment is manufactured worldwide. The key element of this proposal is that wireless personal area networking equipment and components are based on limited short-range wireless technologies. The primary examples currently are Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.1), Wibree (ultra low power Bluetooth) and ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4). This new Note `i' does not decontrol wireless local area networks, such as those based on the WiFi standard (IEEE 802.11), which operate over greater distances and
Page 66006
encrypt data for transmission across networks such as the Internet. d. Adding a new paragraph 5A002.a.7 to control non-cryptographic information and communications technology (ICT) security systems and devices meeting certain criteria. Highly secure ICT systems and devices are used in various military, government and commercial businesses, especially for connecting and/or segregating networks with different levels of information sensitivity. The recent improvements to high assurance technology (e.g., development of secure kernels) means that it is now very easy to build high assurance ICT security products without `military-grade' security components.

TFEI revisions; b. Revising 5D002.a and c.1 to remove circular references and focus the ECCN on the control. c. Replacing periods with semi-colons in 5D002.a and b as part of the TFEI revisions.
ECCN 5E002 is amended by revising the reference ``5D002'' to read
``5D002.a or 5D002.c'' in the Heading, as well as the EI control paragraph and the License Requirement Note of the License Requirement section, to focus the ECCN on control.

Removing unnecessary words, such as ``A'', ``An'', ``having'',
``having an'', or ``with an'' in nearly every paragraph in the Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section, and in some cases replacing the words ``having an'' with the word ``and''; e. Replacing the double quotes with single quotes around the term
`Wall-plug efficiency' in 6A005.a.6.a.1 and a.6.b.1, because the term is defined in the Related Definition section of 6A005; f. Replacing the period with a semi-colon in 6A005.a.8, d.1.b.3, d.1.c.3, and d.1.d to correct the punctuation, as part of the TFEI revisions; g.

i. Adding an ``and'' to clarify the sentence in 8A001.e.2, as part of the TFEI revisions; j. Removing the superfluous word ``characteristics'' in 8A001.f, as part of the TFEI revisions; k. Replacing the word ``tons'' with ``tonnes'' in 8A001.i.1 and i.2, because WA meant metric tonnes, which differs from American tons in weight and to conform with WA text; l. Adding single quotes around the term `small waterplane area vessel' in 8A001.i.2 and in the Technical Note that follows, to indicate that this is a defined term in this entry, as part of the TFEI revisions; and m. Replacing the word ``draught'' with ``draft'' in the Technical
Note after 8A001.i.2, to conform to the WA text.
ECCN 8A002 is amended by: a. Adding the word ``Marine'' to the Heading to be more descriptive, as part of the TFEI revisions; b.

Part 740.17 ``License Exception ENC''
Section 740.17 ``License Exception ENC'' is amended by removing wireless ``personal area network'' (PAN) items from paragraph (b)(4) to harmonize with the addition of wireless PAN equipment to the decontrol
Note in ECCN 5A002. These wireless PAN commodities and ``software'' are now classified under ECCNs 5A992 and 5D992, respectively, without any requirement for review or qualification as `mass market' products.
Part 742 Control Policy: CCL-Based Controls
Regional Stability Controls
This rule revises section 742.6 ``Regional Stability'' by amending the paragraphs that list the ECCNs that are controlled for RS Column 1
(RS:1) and RS Column 2 (RS:2) to coincide with changes to regional stability controls made by this rule. This rule revises Sec. 742.6(a)(1) to add 6D003.c, because this software is related to commodities that are controlled for RS reasons.
ECCN 1A004.d, 1D003 (software to enable equipment to perform the functions of equipment controlled by 1A004.d), 1E001 (technology for the development, production, or use of 1A004.d) are added to Sec. 742.6(a)(4)(i) in order to maintain the RS:2 controls that were applied to this equipment when it was listed under ECCNs 2A983.b, 2D983, and 2E983.
``Encryption Items''
Section 742.15, regarding ``Encryption Items'', is amended by removing wireless ``personal area network (PAN)'' equipment from paragraphs (b)(3)(i) and the entire entry for (b)(3)(ii) to harmonize with the addition of wireless PAN equipment to the decontrol Note in
ECCN 5A002. These wireless PAN commodities and ``software'' are now classified under ECCNs 5A992 and 5D992, respectively, without any requirement for review or qualification as `mass market' products.
Part 743 Special Reporting 3A002.g.2 is revised in three places to read 3A002.g.1 in paragraph 743.1(c)(1)(iii) of the EAR, because in 2007 the WA moved the space qualified parameter for atomic frequency standards from paragraph 3A002.g.2 to 3A002.g.1 and in 2008 the WA harmonized the Sensitive List with the change made in 2007.
WA reporting requirements for 5B001.a, regarding software and technology specially designed for the development or production of equipment, function, or features of equipment, are removed by this rule. The WA agreed to remove this software and technology from the
Wassenaar Sensitive List, because, while the WA
Page 66009
intended to control technology and software for 5A001 equipment, the WA did not intend to have ECCN 5B001 on the Wassenaar Sensitive List. WA reporting requirements are added for 6A006.c.1, magnetic gradiometers using multiple magnetometers specified by 6A006.a.1 or 6A006.a.2 (with a sensitivity lower (or better) than 2pT rms per square root Hz).
This rule amends Note 2 of the Notes to paragraph 743.1(c)(1)(vi) to harmonize the text in the Note with revisions made to 6A006.
Definitions in Part 772
Section 772.1 is amended by: a. Adding a reference to Category 5, Part 1, to the following terms: ``electronically steerable phased array antenna'', and ``local area network;'' b. Removing the reference to Category 5 from the following terms:
``Program'' and ``source code;'' c. Revising the definitions for the following terms: ``Bias
(accelerometer)'' and ``Personalized smart card;'' d. Removing the term ``Noise Level;'' and e. Adding the terms ``Explosives'', ``Fusible'', and ``personal area network.''
Since August 21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse. However, the
President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has been extended by successive
Presidential Notices, the most recent being that of August 13, 2009 (74
FR 41325 (August 14, 2009)), has continued the Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701- 1707).
Saving Clause
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
December 11, 2009, 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 February 9, 2010. Any such items not actually exported before midnight, on February 9, 2010, require a license in accordance with this regulation.
Rulemaking Requirements 1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant 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 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 Jasmeet Seehra,
OMB Desk Officer, by e-mail at jseehra@omb.eop.gov or by fax to (202) 395-7285; and to the Office of Administration, Bureau of Industry and
Security, Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,
Room 6622, Washington, DC 20230. 3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined under 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, 14th and Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Room 2705, Washington, DC 20230.
