Export and Reexport Controls to Rwanda and United Nations Sanctions Under the Export Administration Regulations
AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1823 (2008), which, among other things, terminated sanctions against Rwanda concerning ``arms and related materiel'' imposed in 1994 pursuant to UNSCR 918. This rule includes conforming changes in the EAR related to the termination of the United Nations embargo on ``arms and related materiel'' against Rwanda, including the removal of machetes from the Commerce Control List (CCL). Further, BIS amends Part 746 (Embargoes and Other Special Controls) of the EAR to require a license to export or reexport certain items to countries subject to United Nations Security Council arms embargoes. A presumptive denial policy will apply to applications to export or reexport items that are
Page 42974
controlled for UN reasons and that would contravene a United Nations Security Council arms embargo.
DATES: This rule is effective July 23, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The arms embargo against Rwanda was initially imposed through United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 918 on May 17, 1994, and was continued through subsequent resolutions, including UNSCR 1011 on August 16, 1995. The embargo was implemented in the EAR on August 8, 1994 (59 FR 40235), most recently in Sec. 746.8 of the EAR. The United Nations Security Council terminated the arms embargo against Rwanda on July 10, 2008, via UNSCR 1823. Accordingly, this rule removes the United Nations Embargo (UN) controls on Rwanda by removing Rwanda from Part 746. BIS also makes conforming changes related to the removal of UN controls on Rwanda in Sec. 732.3, Supplement No. 1 to Part 738 and Supplement No.1 to Part 774 of the EAR.
One of the conforming changes is the removal of machetes from Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 0A988. Machetes were added to the CCL when BIS in 1994 (then called the Bureau of Export Administration) implemented the United Nations Security Council arms embargo against Rwanda by way of Executive Order 12918 (59 FR 40235 (Aug. 8, 1994)). Because this rule removes the UN controls imposed against Rwanda and because machetes were added to the CCL to address concerns with their use in Rwanda in particular, BIS is removing machetes from the CCL.
In this final rule, BIS also amends Sec. 746.1(b) to require a license for the export or reexport of items controlled for ``UN'' reasons to countries subject to United Nations Security Council arms embargoes. Paragraph (b)(2) lists all the countries subject to United Nations Security Council arms embargoes. Paragraph (b)(3) states that, to the extent consistent with United States national security and foreign policy interests, and pursuant to revised paragraph (b) of Sec. 746.1, BIS will not approve applications to export or reexport items with a UN reason for control to countries subject to United Nations Security Council arms embargoes if such authorizations would be contrary to the relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions. Paragraph (b)(4) provides that the availability of license exceptions to countries listed in Sec. 746.1(b)(2) is restricted to License Exception GOV Sec. 740.11(b)(2)(i) and (ii).
The rule also clarifies the UN embargo provisions for Iraq and North Korea under the EAR by including cross-references to Sec. 746.3 (Iraq) and Sec. 746.4 (North Korea).
Export Administration Act
Since August 21, 2001, the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, has been in lapse. However, the President has continued the EAR in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) 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 12, 2011 (76 Fed. Reg. 50661 (Aug. 16, 2011)). BIS continues to carry out the provisions of the Act, as appropriate and to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222.
This action is taken after consultation with the Secretary of State. BIS submitted a foreign policy report to the Congress indicating the imposition of new foreign policy controls on June 28, 2012.
Rulemaking Requirements
-
Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866.
-
Notwithstanding any other provisions 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 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 a collection of information subject to the PRA. 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 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748. Total burden hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 are not expected to increase as a result of this rule.
-
This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
-
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1), 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. (See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). This final rule implements U.S. multilateral commitments concerning United Nations Security Council arms embargoes. The sanctions against Rwanda were initially implemented in part to fulfill U.S. obligations to implement the United Nations Security Council's arms embargo against Rwanda. Consistent with the United Nations Security Council's actions lifting the arms embargo and U.S. obligations thereunder, BIS is removing the sanctions imposed against Rwanda under the EAR. In addition, in this rule, BIS amends the EAR to require a license to export or reexport certain items to countries subject to United Nations arms embargoes. To the extent consistent with United States national security and foreign policy interests, BIS will not approve such license applications if such authorizations would be contrary to relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions. In light of United States commitments, BIS implements this approach pursuant to the existing licensing provisions and policies set out in Part 742 of the EAR and pursuant to revised Sec. 746.1(b), which sets out countries subject to United Nations Security Council arms embargoes. No other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this rule. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 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 and is made effective immediately upon publication.
