Removal of Entity From the Entity List
AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends
the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by removing one entity
located under two entries from the Entity List under the destinations
of France and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These removals from the
Entity List are made in connection with a request for removal that BIS
received pursuant to the EAR and a review of information provided in
the request.
DATES: This rule is effective June 15, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chair, End-User Review Committee,
Office of the Assistant Secretary, Export Administration, Bureau of
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, Phone: (202) 482-5991,
Fax: (202) 482-3911, Email: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the EAR)
identifies entities for which there is reasonable cause to believe,
based on specific and articulable facts, that the entities have been
involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming
involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign
policy interests of the United States. The EAR (15 CFR parts 730-774)
impose additional license requirements on, and limit the availability
of most license exceptions for, exports, reexports, and transfers (in-
country) to listed entities. The license review policy for each listed
entity is identified in the ``License Review Policy'' column on the
Entity List, and the impact on the availability of license exceptions
is described in the relevant Federal Register document adding entities
to the Entity List. BIS places entities on the Entity List pursuant to
part 744 (Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) and part 746
(Embargoes and Other Special Controls) of the EAR.
The ERC, composed of representatives of the Departments of Commerce
(Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where appropriate, the Treasury,
makes all decisions regarding additions to, removals from, or other
modifications to the Entity List and the Military End User (MEU) List.
The ERC makes all decisions to add an entry to the Entity List and MEU
List by majority vote and all decisions to remove or modify an entry by
unanimous vote.
Entity List Decisions
Removals From the Entity List
This rule implements a decision of the ERC to remove Satori
Corporation, an entity located in France and the UAE, from the Entity
List on the basis of a removal request. The entries for Satori
Corporation under the destinations of France and the UAE were added to
the Entity List on December 22, 2020 (85 FR 83420, December 22, 2020).
The ERC decided to remove this one entity with two entries based on
information BIS received pursuant to Sec. 744.16 of the EAR and the
review the ERC conducted in accordance with procedures described in
supplement no. 5 to part 744 of the EAR.
This final rule implements the decision to remove the following one
entity under two entries, located in France and the UAE, from the
Entity List:
France
Satori Corporation.
UAE
Satori Corporation.
Export Control Reform Act of 2018
On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S.
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which
included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (50 U.S.C. 4801-
4852). ECRA provides the legal basis for BIS's principal authorities
and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this rule.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. 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 final rule has been designated to be not significant
for purposes of Executive Order 12866.
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to or 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 regulation involves
collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088,
Simplified Network Application Processing System, which includes, among
other things, license applications, and carries a burden estimate of
29.6 minutes for a manual or electronic submission. Total burden hours
associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 are not
expected to increase as a result of this rule.
3. This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
4. Pursuant to section 1762 of ECRA (50 U.S.C. 4821), this action
is exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553)
requirements for notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public
participation, and delay in effective date.
5. 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.
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required and none
has been prepared.
