December 2006 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Agreement Implementation: Categories 1, 2, 3, 5 Part I, 6, 7, 8, and 9 of the Commerce Control List; Wassenaar Reporting Requirements; Definitions; and Statement of Understanding on Source Code

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), and Statements of Understanding 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, 5 Part I (telecommunications), 6, 7, 8, and 9; and adding new entries to the Commerce Control List (CCL), amending EAR Definitions, as well as adding new definitions to the EAR, and adding a new Statement of Understanding on source code.

The purpose of this final rule is to make the necessary changes to the CCL, definitions of terms used in the EAR, and Wassenaar reporting requirements to implement Wassenaar List revisions that were agreed upon in the December 2006 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Meeting.

This rule also adds and 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. In addition, this rule removes the remaining references to ``Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP)'' and ``Millions of Theoretical Operations Per Second (MTOPS)'' in the EAR, which is consistent with agreements made by the Wassenaar Arrangement with regard to microprocessors.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective November 5, 2007.

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 have 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 common understandings of the risks associated with the transfers of these items.

Expanded and New Export Controls

This rule imposes new controls and expands NS Column 1 controls. This rule imposes a license requirement under 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 ECCNs 1E002.g, 3E001, 7A001, 7A002.a and .c, 7A003.d, 7D001, 7D003, 7E001, 7E002, 7E004.a.7, 9D004.f and .g. These destinations have an ``X'' indicated in NS column 1 on 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 Supplement No. 1 to Part 736 of the EAR for Syria.

This rule also imposes new controls and 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 1C005.a, 1C005.b.1, 1C005.b.2, 1C005.c, 1D003, 2B002.c, 2B002.d, 3A001.b.9, 3A001.e.4, 3A001.g, 3B001.f.2, 3B001.i, 3C005, 5A001.g, 6A008.a, 7A008, 8A002.a, 8A002.a.4 (components) to destinations that are not Country Group A:1 destinations, or that are not cooperating countries (see Supplement No. 1 to Part 740 of the EAR). These destinations 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 controls is to ensure that these items do not make a contribution to the military potential of such destination 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 Supplement No. 1 to Part 736 of the EAR for Syria.

The licensing policy for national security controlled items exported or 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

[[Page 62525]]

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 controls and expands antiterrorism (AT) controls. This rule imposes a unilateral U.S. license requirement to export and reexport commodities (and related software and technology) controlled under 1C005.a, 1C005.b.1, 1C005.b.2, 1C005.c, 1D003, 1E002.g, 2B002.d.2, 2B002.d.3, 3A001.b.9, 3A001.e.4, 3A001.g, 3B001.f.2, 3B001.i, 3C005, 3E001, 5A001.g, 6A008.a, 7A001, 7A002.a and .c, 7A003.d, 7A008, 7D001, 7D003.a and .b, 7E001, 7E002, 7E004.a.7, 8A002.a, 8A002.a.4 (components), and 9D004.f and .g 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. 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 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.

Revisions to the Commerce Control List

This rule revises a number of entries on the Commerce Control List (CCL) to implement the December 2006 agreed revisions to the Wassenaar List of Dual Use Goods and Technologies. This rule also revises language to provide a complete and more accurate description of controls. A description of the specific amendments to the CCL pursuant to the December 2006 Wassenaar Agreement is provided below. Newly added ECCNS, as described below, are as follows: 1D003, 3C005, and 7A008. The affected ECCNS, as described below, are 1A002, 1B001, 1C005, 1C008, 1C010, 1C998, 1E002, 2B001, 2B002, 3A001, 3A002, 3A991, 3B001, 3B991, 3C002, 3C992, 3E001, 3E002, 5A001, 5A991, 5E001, 6A002, 6A004, 6A005, 6A006, 6A008, 6A995, 6D003, 6E201, 7A001, 7A002, 7A003, 7A101, 7B003, 7D001, 7D003, 7E001, 7E002, 7E004, 8A002, 8C001, 9D004, 9E001, and 9E002.

Category 1 Materials, Chemicals, ``Microorganisms,'' and Toxins

ECCN 1A002 (Composite structures or laminates) is amended by:

1. Clarifying 1A002.a by adding `consisting of' in front of the parameter and deleting `made from';

2. Clarifying 1A002.b by adding `consisting of' to the front and replacing `made from' with `any of the following' to the end of the subparagraph';

3. Clarifying the term `aircraft' to read `civil aircraft' in the Note to 1A002;

4. Clarifying the size of fabric made from ``fibrous or filamentary materials'' not controlled for repair of civil aircraft structures from '1 m\2\' to '100 cm x 100 cm'.

   Rationale: The previous material size limit impaired the ability of airlines to repair their airplanes successfully and in a timely manner. With each new commercial airplane design, the proportion of structure made from carbon materials is increasing.

   ECCN 1A004 (Protective and detection equipment and components not specially designed for military use) is amended by revising the Related Controls paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section by redesignating note 2 as note 3 and adding a new note 2 to read ``See ECCN 1D003 for ``software'' specially designed or modified to enable equipment to perform the functions of equipment controlled under section 1A004.c (Nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) detection systems). See ECCN 1E002.g for control libraries (parametric technical databases) specially designed or modified to enable equipment to perform the functions of equipment controlled under 1A004.c (Nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) detection systems).''

   ECCN 1B001 (Equipment for the production of fibers) is amended by:

1. Adding a note to the License Requirement section under the MT control that reads ``Note: MT applies to equipment in 1B001.d that meets or exceeds the parameters of 1B101.'' to clarify the MT license requirement, as this requirement has been particularly confusing to the public; and

2. Clarifying the text of 1B001.f., because attempts have been made to export ultrasonic equipment without license due to interpretation that the 3-D and ultrasonic tomography parameters make an empty box. The control text therefore is clarified to ensure systems with critical capability are controlled for export.

   ECCN 1C005 (superconductive composite conductors) is amended by:

1. Removing the term `multifilamentary' from 1C005.a.;

2. Replacing the `or' with an `and' in 1C005.a.1.;

3. Removing part of the parameter `but less than 25 K (249.16[deg]C)' from 1C005.b.1.;

4. Replacing 1C005.b.2 which stated, ``A cross-section area less than 0.28 x 10-\4\ mm\2\; and'' to read ``Remaining in the ``superconductive'' state at a temperature of 4.2 K (-268.96 [deg]C) when exposed to a magnetic field oriented in any direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of conductor and corresponding to a magnetic induction of 12 T with critical current density exceeding 1750 A/mm\2\ on overall cross-section of the conductor.''

5. Removing 1C005.b.3; and

6. Adding 1C005.c and a new technical note, to read as follows ````Superconductive'' ``composite'' conductors consisting of one or more ``superconductive'' filaments which remain ``superconductive'' above 115 K (-158.16 [deg]C).

   Technical Note: For the purpose of 1C005, filaments may be in wire, cylinder, film, tape or ribbon form.; and''

   Rationale: These revisions are made to align controls with current technology.

   ECCN 1C008 (Non-fluorinated polymeric substances) is amended by:

1. Redesignating Note 1 as Note 2 and adding a new Note 1 to clarify the term polymeric substances;

2. Revising the test method of determination of a heat distortion temperature in 1C008.b. from `ISO 75-3 (2004)' to `ISO 75-2 (2004), method A'; and

3. Revising the load parameter in 1C008.b from '1.82 N/mm2' to '1.80 N/mm2';

   Rationale: ISO75-3 (2004) specifies the method for determining the temperature of deflection under a load of high-strength thermosetting laminates and compression-molded long-fiber-reinforced plastics in which the fiber length is greater than 7.5 mm. The materials controlled under 1C008.b are thermoplastic liquid crystal co-polymers, and therefore ISO75-3 (2004) is not an appropriate test method for 1C008.b. materials. In accordance with

   [[Page 62526]]

   ISO75-2 (2004), method A, '1.82 N/mm2' is replaced with '1.80 N/mm2'.

4. Delete 1C008.c, which are polyarylene ether ketones, including polyether ketone ketone (PEKK), polyether ketone (PEK), and Polyether ketone ether ketone ketone (PEKEKK).

   Rationale: The patent for polyarylene ether ketones has expired and China and India are now manufacturing the commodity under different trade names. The manufacturing technology and the properties for all these products are very similar. Although polyarylene ether ketones is no longer controlled under ECCN 1C008 and related technology controlled under 1E001, there remains a license requirement under ECCNs1C998 and 1E998 respectively.

   ECCN 1C010 (fibrous or filamentary materials) is amended by:

1. Clarifying the term `aircraft' to read `civil aircraft' in the Notes to 1C010.b and 1C010.e;

2. Increasing the size of fabric made from ``fibrous or filamentary materials'' not controlled for repair of civil aircraft structures in the Notes to 1C010.b and 1C010.e from '50 cm x 90 cm' to '100 cm x 100 cm'; and

3. Adding the Celsius equivalent (2 [deg]C) to 2K in the Technical Note that describes glass transition temperature.

   Rationale: The previous material size limit impaired the ability of airlines to repair their airplanes successfully and in a timely manner. With each new commercial airplane design, the proportion of structure made from carbon materials is increasing.

   ECCN 1C998 (Non-fluorinated polymeric substances) is amended by:

1. Redesignating 1C998.a to 1C998.a.1; and

2. Revising paragraph 1C998.a to add the polyarylene ether ketones deleted from 1C008.c.

   Note: For equipment no longer controlled under ECCN 1C008 and related technology controlled under 1E001, there remains a license requirement under ECCNs1C998 and 1E998 respectively, for exports and reexports to designated terrorism supporting countries, as set forth in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR and as indicated in AT Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart.

   ECCN 1D003 is added to control ``software'' specially designed or modified to enable equipment to perform the functions of equipment controlled under section 1A004.c (Nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) detection systems).

   ECCN 1E001 is amended by revising the Related Controls paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section by redesignating notes 2 and 3 as notes 3 and 4, and adding a new note 2 to read ``See ECCN 1E002.g for control libraries (parametric technical databases) specially designed or modified to enable equipment to perform the functions of equipment controlled under 1A004.c (Nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) detection systems).''

   ECCN 1E002 is amended to add a new paragraph 1E002.g to control libraries (parametric technical databases) specially designed or modified to enable equipment to perform the functions of equipment controlled under 1A004.c (Nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) detection systems).

   Rationale: ECCNs 1D003 and 1E002 are revised because some non- controlled detection systems can be upgraded to become controlled nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) detection systems by uploading software or the associated library of NBC related chemical fingerprints into the memory of the detector.

   Category 2 Materials Processing

   ECCN 2B001 (Machine tools) is amended by revising the Unit paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to remove ``parts and accessories'', and adding additional parameters to the contact lens machine exception in Note to 2B001.a in order to prevent general purpose diamond turning machines from being exported as contact lens machines.

   ECCN 2B002 (Numerically controlled machine tools using a magnetorheological finishing (MRF) process) is amended by:

1. Revising the heading to clarify the scope of controls from `numerically controlled machine tools' to `numerically controlled optical finishing machine tools'; and to revise the way the parameters are applied from ``having any of the following'' to `having all of the following';

2. Adding a new definition for `Electrorheological finishing (ERF)' to the Related Definitions paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section;

3. Removing the `or' at the end of 2B002.a;

4. Adding new paragraphs 2B002.c to add a new parameter (Three or more axes which can be coordinated simultaneously for `contouring control'); and

5. Adding a new paragraphs 2B002.d.1 through d.3 to list specific optical finishing processes (Magnetorheological finishing (`MRF'); Electrorheological finishing (`ERF'); and `Energetic particle beam finishing').

   Category 3 Electronics

   ECCN 3A001 (Electronic components) is amended by:

1. Adding 3A001.b.9 to the License Exception LVS eligibility paragraph for $3,000, and adding 3A001.b.9 and 3A001.g to the License Exception GBS eligibility paragraph;

2. Correcting 3A001.a.5.a.1 by adding the word ``with'' to be consistent with the Wassenaar Dual-Use List (A resolution of 8 bit or more, but less than 10 bit, with an output rate greater than 500 million words per second);

3. Revising the output rate for analog-to-digital converter integrated circuits in 3A001.a.5.a.3 from `greater than 50 million words per second' to ``greater than 105 million words per second'';

4. Revising the output rate for analog-to-digital converter integrated circuits in 3A001.a.5.a.4 from `greater than 5 million words per second' to `greater than 10 million words per second';

5. Revising the output rate for analog-to-digital converter integrated circuits in 3A001.a.5.a.5 from `greater than 1 million words per second' to `greater than 2.5 million words per second';

   Rationale: These output rates are updated to keep pace with advances in analog-to-digital converter technology and growing commercial markets.

   Note: For analog-to-digital converter integrated circuits no longer controlled under ECCN 3A001.a.5.a and related technology controlled under ECCN 3E001, there remains a license requirement under ECCNs 3A991.c and 3E991 respectively, as well as a software control under ECCN 3D991 for exports and reexports to designated terrorism supporting countries, as set forth in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR and as indicated in AT Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart.

6. 3A001.b.9 is amended by adding microwave power modules (MPM), consisting of, at least, a traveling wave tube, a microwave monolithic integrated circuit and an integrated electronic power conditioner having specified parameters;

   Rationale: MPMs are added to 3A001.b.9 because they are used as an efficient, compact building block in electronic warfare, radar and communication systems. The military criticality of the MPM results from the operating frequency, power (peak and/or average), instantaneous bandwidth, and the speed at which the MPM turns-on and packaging attributes. The combination of these capabilities results in a large improvement in power density (power per unit volume) over comparable solid state power amplifiers, resulting in a wide range of military applications. These include synthetic aperture radar, wideband data links, satellite communications, towed decoys and electronic warfare. Commercial applications of MPMs include satellite communications, wireless

   [[Page 62527]]

   communications, high power RF sources for laboratory use, and rapid prototyping of microwave amplifiers for various applications.

7. 3A001.e.1 is amended by replacing the term ``batteries'' with the term ``cells'';

8. 3A001.e.1.a and 3A001.e.1.b are amended by removing the phrase ``and batteries'', replacing the term ``rechargeable cells'' with the term ``secondary cells'', and changing the energy density parameter to ``550 Wh/kg at 293K (20[deg] C)'';

9. The technical note for 3A001.e.1 is replaced with 4 new technical notes that describe ``energy density'', ``cell'', ``primary cell'', and ``secondary cell'', as well as a note that explains that ``3A001.e. does not control batteries, including single cell batteries;'' and

10. 3A001.g is added to control solid-state pulsed power switching thyristor devices and thyristor modules.

    ECCN 3A002 (General purpose electronic equipment) is amended by:

1. Revising the eligibility paragraphs for License Exceptions GBS and CIV to remove 3A002.d, because all signal generators that were eligible for these license exceptions are no longer controlled under ECCN 3A002, but are now controlled under ECCN 3A992.a;

2. Removing a comma between ``Frequency synthesizer'' and ``electronic assemblies'' in 3A002.b to harmonize with the Wassenaar Dual-Use List;

3. Adding a note after 3A002.b stating ``The control status of signal analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, and microwave test receivers as stand-alone instruments is determined by 3A002.c., 3A002.d., 3A002.e., and 3A002.f., respectively.'';

4. Revising 3A002.d (Frequency synthesized signal generators) by replacing the term ``master frequency'' with ``master reference oscillator'';

5. Revising 3A002.d.3 (``frequency switching time'') by modifying the text and adding new subparagraphs 3A002.d.3.a through 3A002.d.3.e that specify various frequency switching time parameters;

6. Redesignating Note 1 (definition of `pulse duration' ) as Note 2 and adding a new Note 1 following 3A002.d.4 to clarify the term `frequency synthesized signal generators'; and

7. Redesignating Technical Note 1 as Technical Note 2, and adding a new Technical Note 1 to explain that arbitrary waveform and function generators are normally specified by sample rate.

   ECCN 3A991 (Electronic devices and components not controlled by 3A001) is amended by:

1. Revising 3A991.a.1 from ``A composite theoretical performance (CTP) of 6,500 million theoretical operations per second (MTOPS) or more and an arithmetic logic unit with an access width of 32 bit or more'' to read ``A performance speed of 5 GFLOPS or more and an arithmetic logic unit with an access width of 32 bit or more'' to harmonize with revisions to ECCN 3E002; and

2. Revising 3A991.j (batteries/cells) to harmonize with revisions to 3A001.e.1.

   ECCN 3B001 (Equipment for the manufacturing of semiconductor devices or materials) is amended by:

1. Correcting the phrase ``3B001.a.2 and a.3, or .f'' to read ``3B001.a.2, a.3, or .f'' in the License Exception GBS eligibility paragraph in the License Exception section;

2. Redesignating 3B001.f.2 as 3B001.f.3;

3. Adding a new paragraph 3B001.f.2 to control imprint lithography equipment capable of producing features of 180 nm or less; and

4. Adding a new paragraph 3B001.i to control lithograph templates designed for integrated circuits controlled by 3A001.

   Rationale: Imprint lithographic technology was added to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductor's (ITRS') 2003 edition. Imprint lithographic systems are currently being manufactured in the U.S., Austria, Sweden, and Germany, and have demonstrated the capability of producing features as small as 10nm. While these systems do not yet have the throughput and overlay accuracy necessary for use in major silicon integrated circuit production facilities, the technology is maturing, and is expected to be widely used at the 45nm technology node. They are currently being used in compound semiconductor manufacturing, and compound semiconductor devices have important military applications.

   ECCN 3B991 (Equipment not controlled by 3B001 for the manufacture of electronic components and materials) is amended by adding ECCN 3C005 to the list of ECCNs referenced in 3B991.b.1.b in order to harmonize with the addition of this new ECCN.

   ECCN 3C002 (Resist materials) is amended by revising the heading to conform to the Wassenaar Dual-Use List and the wavelength for positive resists designed for semiconductor lithography from `below 350 nm' to `below 245 nm' in order to match the wavelength threshold in ECCN 3B001.a (lithography equipment), which was changed in 2004.

   ECCN 3C005 (Silicone carbide wafers) is added to the Commerce Control List to control silicon carbide (SiC) wafers having a resistivity of more than 10,000 ohm-cm, because it is emerging as the material of choice for high temperature devices, such as power switches, which are used in both military (e.g., military ships, vehicles, radar, communications, electromagnetic warfare and weapons systems) and commercial applications (e.g., communication systems, electric power, utilities industry, civil radar systems, cell phone base stations, and high definition television transmitters).

   Note: ECCN 3C005 is controlled for NS:2 and AT:1 reasons. In addition, ECCN 3E001 controls for NS:1 and AT:1 reasons related technology for the development or production of silicon carbide (SiC) wafers classified as ECCN 3C005, and ECCN 3B991.b.1.b controls for AT:1 reasons related equipment specially designed for purifying or processing III/V and II/VI semiconductor materials controlled by ECCN 3C005.

   ECCN 3C992 (positive resists) is amended by revising the heading to adjust the wavelength from `between 370 and 350 nm' to 'between 370 and 245 nm' to harmonize with the revision to 3C002.

   ECCN 3E001 is amended by:

1. Revising the NS control text in the License Requirements section to add the new ECCN 3C005;

2. Revising the Related Controls paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to remove outdated note 2 and redesignating note 3 as note 2, because updated version of this note is already reflected in the Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section.

3. Redesignating Note 1 as Note 2 and Note 2 as Note 1 in the Items paragraph; and

4. Revising the citation in the technical note from `Note b' to `Note 2' in the Items paragraph.

   ECCN 3E002 is amended by:

1. Revising the heading to remove references to `composite theoretical performance (CTP)' and `million theoretical operations per second (MTOPS)';

2. Revising License Exception CIV eligibility text from ``Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP) less than or equal to 40,000 MTOPS (regardless of word length or access width)'' to read ``vector processor unit with operand length of 64-bit or less, 64-bit floating operations not exceeding 32 GFLOPS, or 16-bit or more floating-point operations not exceeding 32 GMACS'' to conform to the revisions in 3A001 regarding microprocessors;

   Note: The new parameter for measuring vector processor units is GMACS, which

   [[Page 62528]]

   equals billions of 16-bit fixed-point multiply-accumulate operations per second.

3. Adding subparagraphs 3E002.a, 3E002.b, and 3E002.c to specify new parameters for microprocessor technology controls related to the vector processor unit, floating-point vectors, and fixed-point multiply-accumulate results, including adding a technical note to describe ``vector processing unit''

   Rationale: These changes are made to remove the remaining references to ``Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP)'' and ``Millions of Theoretical Operations Per Second (MTOPS)'' in the EAR, which is consistent with agreements made by the Wassenaar Arrangement with regard to microprocessors. Information on How to Calculate ``Composite Theoretical Performance'' (``CTP'') is removed from the end of Category 3, because CTP is no longer a parameter used to control any entry in the Commerce Control List.

   Category 5 Part I Telecommunications

   ECCN 5A001 (Telecommunications systems, equipment, and components) is amended by:

1. Revising the phrase `telecommunication transmission equipment and systems' to read `telecommunication systems and equipment' in 5A001.b, because 5A001.b controls transmission equipment, but also receivers, transmitters, and transceivers.

2. Revising the scope of parameters from `any' to `all' in 5A001.b.2 for radio equipment, because these features are more commonly found in radio equipment today as a result of technological advances;

3. Removing the parameter in 5A001.b.2.a `incorporating adaptive techniques providing more than 15 dB suppression of an interfering signal';

   Rationale: These revisions are made to 5A001 because the parameter is obsolete due to technological advances in Digital Signal Processing (DSP).

4. Adding 5A001.g to the NS:2 control paragraph in the License Requirements section; and

5. Adding a new paragraph 5A001.g to control specially designed Passive Coherent Location systems or equipment.

   Rationale: Revisions are made to 5A001.g because passive location systems can be used in air defense networks to detect and track aircraft without being detected themselves and have the ability to detect aircraft designed to be stealthy. These systems can also be used for civil applications, such as analog FR radio, cellular phone base stations and digital audio broadcast (DAB).

   Note: Adding 5A001.g (specially designed Passive Coherent Location systems or equipment) to ECCN 5A001 consequently adds a license requirement for related development and production software in ECCN 5D001 and development, production, and use technology in ECCN 5E001, for the exports and reexports to all destinations, except Canada, under NS Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart and for exports and reexports to designated terrorism supporting countries, as set forth in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR and as indicated in AT Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart.

   ECCN 5A991 is amended by adding 5A991.b.7.d to maintain anti- terrorism controls on radio equipment operating in the 1.5 MHz to 87.5 MHz band and incorporating adaptive techniques providing more than 15 dB suppression of an interfering signal, which this rule removed from 5A001.b.2.a.

   Note: Adding 5A991.b.7.d to ECCN 5A991 consequently maintains a license requirement for related development, production, and use software in ECCN 5D991, for the exports and reexports to designated terrorism supporting countries, as set forth in Parts 742 and 746 of the EAR and as indicated in AT Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart. However, the Wassenaar Arrangement agreed to maintain national security controls for the related technology for this equipment in ECCN 5E001 by adding a new paragraph 5E001.c.4.c.

   ECCN 5E001 is amended by adding a new paragraph 5E001.c.4.c to maintain national security and anti-terrorism controls on the technology for the development or production of certain shortwave radios employing adaptive interference suppression techniques, which this rule is removing from 5A001.b.2.a.

   Category 6 Sensors

   ECCN 6A002 (Optical Sensors) is amended by:

1. Revising the License Requirement section to add an exception note under the RS controls to exclude 6A002.a.3.d.a.2 and 6A002.a.3.e for lead selenide focal plane arrays, because these devices are not suitable for imaging applications, and no longer merit regional stability controls;

2. Revising the Unit paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section, to remove the term ``accessories'';

3. Revising the peak response in wavelength range in 6A002.a.3.d.1 from `exceeding 1,200 nm but not exceeding 2,500 nm' to `exceeding 1,200 nm but not exceeding 3,000 nm'; and

4. Revising the peak response in wavelength range for non-``space- qualified'' linear (1-dimensional) ``focal plane arrays'' in 6A002.a.3.e from `exceeding 2,500 nm but not exceeding 30,000 nm' to `exceeding 3,000 nm but not exceeding 30,000 nm'.

   Rationale: The revisions to 6A002.a.3 are made to remove national security controls on focal plane arrays that are effectively non-usable in military applications, and to simplify the control text.

   ECCN 6A004 (Optics) is amended by:

1. Revising the Unit paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to remove the reference to cable;

2. Revising the Related Controls paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to add a reference to ECCN 3B001 for optical mirrors or aspheric optical elements specially designed for lithography equipment; and by enumerating the notes in the Related Controls paragraph;

3. Moving the definition of `aspheric optical element' from the technical note to the Related Definitions paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section; and

4. Adding single quotes around the term `aspheric optical elements' in 6A004.e to indicate that the definition may be found in the Related Definitions paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section of the ECCN.

   ECCN 6A005 (Lasers) is amended by:

1. Revising the NP controls in the License Requirements section to conform with the revisions in the ECCN 6A005 items paragraph and the revisions to ECCN 6A205;

2. Revising the License Requirements Notes to conform to the revisions related to nuclear controls and revisions in 6A005;

3. Revising the License Exception GBS and CIV eligibility paragraphs to conform to the revisions in the items paragraph and the license requirement note that outlines NP controls;

4. Revising the Note 6 in the Related Controls paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to add ``and ``lasers'' specifically designed, modified, or configured for military application are subject to the export licensing authority of the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls'';

5. Moving paragraph 1 in the Related Definitions paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to Note 1 at the top of the items paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section, and removing paragraph 2 in the Related Definitions paragraph;

6. Adding a definition for `Wall-plug efficiency' in the Related Definitions paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section;

7. Adding Notes 2 through 4 to the top of the items paragraph of the List of

   [[Page 62529]]

   Items Controlled section to clarify controls in ECCN 6A005;

8. Moving 6A005.a.1 (Excimer lasers) to 6A005.d.4;

9. Deleting 6A005.a.2 (Metal vapor lasers), as they are now controlled under 6A005.b, although they are not specifically cited as before;

10. Moving 6A005.a.3 (Carbon monoxide (CO) lasers) to 6A005.d.2;

11. Moving 6A005.a.4 (Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers) to 6A005.d.3;

12. Moving 6A005.a.5 (Chemical lasers) to 6A005.d.5;

13. Deleting 6A005.a.6 (Krypton ion or argon ion lasers), as pursuant to Note 5.a, Krypton lasers are no longer controlled, and Argon lasers are now controlled under 6A005.a, with the exception of Argon lasers below 50W, pursuant to the Note to 6A005.a.2;

14. Moving 6A005.b (Semiconductor lasers) to 6A005.d.1;

15. Moving 6A005.c.2 (non-tunable lasers) to 6A005.a and .b, with the exception of Neodymium glass lasers, and modifying the parameters;

16. Moving 6A005.c.2.a (Neodymium glass lasers) to 6A005.d.6; and

17. Moving 6A005.d (dye and other liquid lasers) to 6A005.c (tunable lasers), see Note to 6A005.c.

    Rationale: The changes in ECCN 6A005 are made to move the laser controls from technology based categories to performance based criteria. The categories are restructured, where possible, to remove specific references to types of lasers and characterize the laser on the basis of wavelength, power, mode, energy, pulse length, mass, and efficiency.

    ECCN 6A006 is amended by adding quotes around the term ``compensation systems'' in the heading and in 6A006.d, because it has become a defined term in Part 772.

    ECCN 6A008 (Radar) is amended by:

1. Adding a Note to explain that 6A008 does not control: secondary surveillance radar (SSR), car radar designed for collision prevention, displays or monitors used for air traffic control (ATC), and meteorological (weather) radar.

2. Revising the parameters in 6A008.a to avoid overlapping controls between 6A008.a and 6A008.m.1.

   ECCN 6A205 is amended by:

1. Revising the heading to simplify it and place the referenced ECCNs in order;

2. Removing the reference to ``parts and accessories'' in the unit paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section, because these are not controlled by this entry;

3. Adding a reference to 6A005.a.2 for additional controls on argon ion lasers and a reference to 6A005.b.6.b for additional neodymium- doped lasers in the Related Controls paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section;

4. Revising 6A005.b.1 for ``operating at wavelengths for tunable pulsed single-mode dye laser oscillators'' from ``Operating at wavelengths between 300 nm and 800 nm'' to ``Operating at wavelengths between 600 nm and 800 nm'';

5. Removing 6A205.c (Tunable pulsed dye laser amplifiers and oscillators), because these paragraphs are entirely controlled by ECCN 6A005.c.1.b;

6. Revising 6A205.f to maintain NP controls on Neodymium-doped (other than glass) lasers that are not controlled by ECCN 6A005.

   Rationale: This change is made to split control of Neodymium-doped lasers between ECCN 6A005.b.6 and 6A205.f, with no intended overlap.

   ECCN 6A995 is amended by:

1. Revising 6A995.c, so that it controls ``Ruby `lasers' having an output energy exceeding 20 J per pulse'';

2. Redesignating paragraph 6A995.d (Free electron lasers) as paragraph g., and adding three new paragraphs to maintain anti- terrorism (AT) controls for certain lasers no longer controlled by ECCN 6A005: 6A995.d (Non-``tunable'' ``pulsed lasers''), 6A995.e (Non- ``tunable'' continuous wave ``(CW) lasers''), and 6A995.f (Non- ``tunable'' ``lasers'').

   ECCN 6D003 is amended by adding quotes around the term ``compensation systems'' in the in 6D003.f.1, because it has become a defined term in Part 772.

   6E201 is amended by revising the heading to harmonize with revisions made to ECCNs 6A005 and 6A205, and adding the phrase ``not controlled by 6E001 or 6E002''.

   Category 7 Navigation and Avionics

   ECCN 7A001 (Accelerometers) is amended by:

1. Revising the heading from ``Linear accelerometers designed for use in inertial navigation or guidance systems and having any of the following characteristics (see List of Items Controlled), and specially designed components therefor.'' to read ``Accelerometers as follows (see List of Items Controlled), and specially designed components therefor'' in order to change the scope of control from including end- use and type to a strictly technical control, as set forth in the List of Items Controlled section;

2. Revising the MT controls in the License Requirements section from ``MT applies to entire entry'' to ``MT applies to commodities that meet or exceed the parameters of 7A101'' to clarify items controlled for MT reasons based on the Missile Technology Control Regime Annex;

3. Differentiating between linear accelerometers designed to operate at high g values and linear accelerometers designed to operate at low g levels; and

4. Moving the controls for angular and rotational accelerometers from the gyro controls in 7A002 to the accelerometer controls in 7A001.

   Rationale: With the constant development of accelerometers, there are now products on the market which can be used for inertial navigation and guidance, but that were not necessarily designed for that purpose. Therefore, these changes are being made to 7A001 to control these new products.

   ECCN 7A002 (Gyros or angular rate sensors) is amended by:

1. Revising text in the heading from `and angular or rotational accelerometers' to read `or angular rate sensors';

   Rationale: The heading is clarified to delete ``angular or rotational accelerometers'' because angular accelerometers do not measure angular rate. (These devices are more appropriately addressed in ECCN 7A001.) Also, the term angular rate sensor is added. With the emergence of new gyro technology, the term ``angular rate sensor'' is interchangeable with ``gyro''.

2. Revising the Missile Technology (MT) reason for control in the License Requirements section to read ``MT applies to 7A002 items that meet or exceed the parameters of 7A102'' because some items identified in 7A002.a and 7A002.b are national security controlled items and not MT controlled items;

3. Adding a License Requirement Note to the License Requirements section to add the Missile Technology Control Regime's definition for `stability', which should only be used for the purposes of MT controls. (The Wassenaar Arrangement definition for `stability' is found in Part 772);

4. Revising the drift rate in from `less (better) than 0.1 degree per hour when specified to function at acceleration levels below 12 g' to read ` less (better) than 0.5 degree per hour when specified to function at linear acceleration levels up to and including 100.g' combining paragraphs 7A002.a, 7A002.a.1 and 7A002.a.2;

5. Adding double quotes around the term ``angle random walk'' in 7A002.b;

6. Removing the technical note defining ``angle random walk'', as the definition was moved to Part 772;

7. Redesignating paragraph 7A002.c as paragraph 7A002.d; and

   [[Page 62530]]

8. Adding a new paragraph 7A002.c to incorporate three critical parameters for controlling gyros.

   Rationale: With new gyro technology, e.g. Fiber Optic Gyros (FOG) and MicroElectroMechanical System (MEMS) gyros, the current 7A002.a. and b. language does not adequately control gyros required for very short-term applications and having high rate range, such as those used in tactical missiles and smart munitions. The former 7A002.c addressed gyros with a high linear acceleration capability. The new paragraph 7A002.c includes three critical parameters: drift rate stability, input rate range and angle random walk (ARW). To be controlled, the gyro must meet the drift rate stability and either the input rate range or ARW parameter. The input rate range of 500 degrees per second and the ARW parameter of 0.2 degrees per square root hour were selected because they are consistent with tactical missile and howitzer requirements. The 40 degrees per hour drift rate stability was selected because it would control gyros used for guidance in very short mission tactical weapons and smart munitions, but would avoid the control of gyros used in automobiles. This revision will control the most critical gyros, while allowing wide commercial-use of these new gyro technologies.

   ECCN 7A003 (Inertial systems) is amended by:

1. Adding 7A003.d to control Inertial measurement equipment, including Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and Inertial Reference Systems (IRS), which was added to clarify 7A003.c; and

2. Replacing a reference in Note 2 that stated ``civil authorities of a country in Country Group A:1'' with ``civil authorities of a Wassenaar Arrangement Participating State, see Supplement No. 1 to Part 743 for a list of these countries.''

   ECCN 7A008 is added to control underwater sonar navigation systems for NS:2 and AT:1 reasons, because underwater navigation systems pose significant military and terrorism concerns because of their potential use for coastal reconnaissance and infiltration.

   ECCN 7A101 is amended by revising the Heading and the Items paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to add a new paragraph 7A101.b for ``continuous output accelerometers of any type, specified to function at acceleration levels greater than 100 g, and specially designed components therefor'' and to expand the scope of the heading to include this new paragraph.

   Rationale: These accelerometers were previously controlled under ECCN 7A001, but are no longer controlled under this ECCN because of the Wassenaar Arrangement's agreement to add the words ``designed for use in inertial navigation or guidance systems.'' This revision was necessary in order to maintain the MT controls on these accelerometers as specified by 9.A.5 of the Missile Technology Control Regime Annex.

   ECCN 7B003 is amended by revising the Related Controls paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section to clarify that 7B003 controls include fiber optic gyro coil winding machines.

   ECCN 7D003 is amended by:

1. Adding software controls for ECCN 7A008 in 7D003.a and .b;

2. Replacing the term `inertial data' with `heading data' in 7D003.b; and

3. Revising 7D003.b.1 by adding `or sonar'.

   Rationale: The revisions to 7D003.a address software that improves navigation performance of equipment controlled by ECCN 7A008. The revisions to 7D003.b address source code for a hybrid underwater navigation system that combines a heading source (inertial or non- inertial, such as a fluxgate compass) with Doppler sonar to provide positioning data to the level specified in ECCN 7A008.

   ECCNs 7D001, 7E001, and 7E002 are amended to revise the License Requirement section to include ECCN 7A008 in the NS:1 control and to exclude ECCN 7A008 from the MT:1 control.

   Rationale: This revision necessary in order to add NS:1 controls for the related technology and software for the new ECCN 7A008, but to exclude it from MT:1 controls, as equipment controlled by ECCN 7A008 does not appear on the MTCR Annex.

   ECCN 7E004 is amended by adding 7E004.a.7 to control development and production technology for Data Based Referenced Navigation (DBRN) systems designed to navigate underwater using sonar or gravity databases that provide a positioning accuracy equal to or less (better) than 0.4 nautical miles.

   Rationale: The addition of ECCN 7A008 and 7E004.a.7 addresses two new commercial capabilities under the title of Underwater Sonar Navigation Systems: (1) underwater sonar navigation systems and (2) technology for underwater Data Based Referenced Navigation (DBRN) (e.g. sonar imaging). These capabilities pose significant military and terrorism concerns because of their potential use for coastal reconnaissance and infiltration. These systems are also used for commercial surveying applications. The Munitions List ML11 controls navigation and guidance systems specially designed for military use, but ML11 does not control underwater sonar navigation systems designed for commercial use.

   Category 8 Marine

   ECCN 8A002 (Systems, equipment and components for submersible vehicles) is amended by:

1. Adding `and components' to the heading;

2. Revising the unit paragraph to add `systems' and `components in $ value';

3. Adding `and components' to 8A002.a;

4. Adding a new paragraph 8A002.a.4 to control `Components manufactured from material specified in ECCN 8C001.' and adding a technical note to explain that this control includes components in any stage of manufacture, i.e., not in final form.

   Rationale: The completed foam blocks, which are components manufactured from material specified in ECCN 8C001, are ready to use, and therefore it is sensible to control these `components,' as well as the raw material that is already controlled, thus blocking a current loophole in the control text.

   ECCN 8C001 (Syntactic foam designed for underwater use) is amended to add a reference to 8A002.a.4 in the Related Control paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section.

   Category 9 Propulsion Systems, Space Vehicles and Related Equipment

   Category 9 is amended by revising the title of Category 9 to read ``Aerospace and Propulsion,'' because this Category contains a significant amount of aerospace items.

   ECCN 9D004 is amended by:

1. Revising the License Requirement section to exclude the newly added paragraphs 9D004.f and .g;

2. Adding a new paragraph 9D004.f to control software specially designed to design the internal cooling passages of aero gas turbine engine blades, vanes, and tip shrouds; and

3. Adding a new paragraph 9D004.g to control software having all of the following characteristics: Being specially designed to predict aero thermal, aeromechanical and combustion conditions in gas turbine engines; and having theoretical modeling predictions of the aero thermal, aeromechanical and combustion conditions, which have been validated with actual turbine engine (experimental or production) performance data.

   Rationale: ECCN 9D004 is amended because this type of software is used in

   [[Page 62531]]

   highly advanced research domains and is not part of the ``off the shelf'' market. Rather, it is developed, and daily improved, by aircraft engine manufacturers. The software is used in the setting of new engines, and the quality is crucial for improving the performances of aircraft engines.

   ECCN 9E001 is amended by revising the heading and the national security controls to correct the citation 9A001.c to read 9A001.b.

   ECCN 9E002 is amended by revising the heading to correct the citation 9A001.c to read 9A001.b.

   Part 742 ``Control Policy--CCL Based Controls''

   This rule amends section 742.19 by revising paragraph (b)(1)(xix) from stating ``Microprocessors with a CTP of 550 or above'' to read ``Microprocessors with a processing speed of 0.5 GFLOPS or above'' In addition, this rule amends Supplement No. 2 ``Anti-terrorism Controls: Iran, North Korea, Syria and Sudan Contract Sanctity Dates and Related Policies'' by revising paragraph (26)(ii) from stating ``With a CTP of 550 MTOPS or above'' to read ``With a processing speed of 0.5 GFLOPS or above.''

   Retiring Composite Theoretical Performance/Millions of Theoretical Operations Per Second (CTP/MTOPS) Metric

   The CTP/MTOPS metric was used in measuring computer and microprocessor performance. The usefulness of the CTP/MTOPS metric in defining computer and microprocessor performance has been overtaken by advances in technology. The U.S. Government, in a final rule published in April 2006 (71 FR 20876), replaced the CTP/MTOPS metric with the APP/WT metric for measuring computer performance. The CTP/MTOPS reference was retained in certain parts of the EAR for measuring microprocessor performance because it was still used by the Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) in defining the control level for microprocessor technology. In the WA 2006 list review, the WA revised its microprocessor technology control and discontinued all uses of the CTP/ MTOPS metric in the WA List of Dual-use Goods and Technologies. The U.S. Government is also discontinuing all uses of CTP/MTOPS in the EAR with this implementation of the results of the WA 2006 list review.

   Deviating From Parallel Control Parameters by Not Using Adjusted Peak Performance/Weighted TeraFLOPS (APP/WT) Metric (Used To Measure Computer Performance) To Measure Microprocessor Performance

   With the use of the APP/WT metric for measuring computer performance, there is the temptation, following tradition, to use the APP/WT metric to measure microprocessor performance. However, the GFLOPS metric (billions of 64-bit floating-point operations per second) is preferable to the APP/WT metric because:

   (a) The GFLOPS value is published by the manufacturer in its product literature.

   (b) The additional complexities introduced by the APP/WT metric are unnecessary because there is a direct linear relationship between the proposed GFLOPS metric and the APP/WT metric (1 GFLOPS = 0.001*0.3 WT = 0.0003 WT).

   (c) The translation from GFLOPS to WT provides no additional value.

   (d) In the 1990s, the Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) controlled microprocessors with a wide range of operand lengths (8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit). Today, the WA is only interested in processors with 32- and 64-bit operands. GFLOPS standardizes the measurement on 64-bit floating-point multiply and add. In short, technology has moved forward.

   (e) A large part of the CTP formula deals with computer architecture and the rules of aggregation that have absolutely no meaning for microprocessors. Exporters have expressed concern about the need to deal with a complex formula when all they really need is a small part of the CTP formula to calculate the speed of a microprocessor, i.e., GFLOPS.

   Section 743.1 ``Wassenaar Arrangement''

   Section 743.1 is amended by:

   Inserting ``6A001'' before ``a.2.d'' for clarification in paragraph (c)(1)(vi);

   Adding ECCN 6A006.a.1 to paragraph (c)(1)(vi);

   Adding clarification notes in parentheticals after: 6A002.c, 6A003.b.3, and 6A003.b.4 in paragraph (c)(1)(vi);

   Replacing the text in the parentheticals after 6A006.d in paragraph (c)(1)(vi) with the reference ``certain items only; see Note to this paragraph''; and

   Revising the Notes to paragraph (c)(1)(vi) to add another type of focal plane array excluded from reporting under 6A002.a.3, namely, microbolometer focal plane arrays having less than 8,000 elements. Also, adding a new Note 2 to describe which items in 6A006.d are subject to the Wassenaar special reporting requirement.

   Rationale: All of the revisions to 743.1(c)(1)(vi) are made to conform to the Wassenaar Sensitive List and will also affect Wassenaar reporting requirements for ECCNS 6E001 and 6E002.

   Section 744.17 ``Restrictions on certain exports and reexports of general purpose microprocessors for `military end-uses' and to `military end-users' '' is amended by revising the parameter in the first sentence of paragraph (a) that stated ``a composite theoretical performance'' (``CTP'') of 6,500 million theoretical operations per second (MTOPS)'' to read ``a processing speed of 5 GFLOPS''.

   Definitions in Part 772

   Section 772.1 is amended by:

1. Removing the terms ``Composite theoretical performance (CTP)'' and ``CTP'';

2. Revising the definition of the terms ``Drift rate'' and ``Peak power''; and

3. Adding in alphabetical order the definitions for ``Angle random walk'', ``Average Output Power'', ``Compensation Systems'', ``CW Laser'', ``Pulsed Laser'', and ``Repeatability''.

   Supplement No. 3 to Part 774--Statements of Understanding

   This rule adds a Statement of Understanding (SOU) addressing source code. The SOU explains that source code may be controlled in either a software or technology entry. The rationale for adding this SOU was to allow flexibility to control source code in either a software or a technology entry, where the definitions for ``software'' and ``technology'' didn't seem to allow for such flexibility. This SOU only applies to national security controlled items, as no such SOU has been agreed to in other multinational regimes. However, this does not preclude other regimes or BIS from controlling source code in whatever manner is best suited for the situation. For the purposes of applying this SOU to source code subject to the EAR, source code should be considered ``software,'' unless otherwise stated.

   Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001, the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 15, 2007, 72 FR 46137 (August 16, 2007), has continued the Export Administration Regulations in

   [[Page 62532]]

   effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

   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 November 5, 2007, 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 December 5, 2007. Any such items not actually exported before midnight, on December 5, 2007, 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 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, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
