December 2006 Wassenaar Arrangement Plenary Agreement Implementation: Categories 1, 3, 6, and 7 of the Commerce Control List; Wassenaar Reporting Requirements

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: On November 5, 2007, the Bureau of Industry and Security published a final rule that amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the agreement reached at the December 2006 plenary meeting of the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. The November 5 final rule contained errors in Parts 742 and 744, and Categories 1, 3, 6 and 7 on the Commerce Control List. This rule corrects those errors.

In addition, the November 5th rule indirectly affected an item of the list of eligible items for Authorized Validated End-User (VEU) Applied Materials China, Ltd. This rule corrects that item listing to harmonize with revisions of the November 5th rule.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective February 5, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions of a general nature contact Sharron Cook, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-2440 or E-mail: scook@bis.doc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background

This document corrects errors contained in the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) final rule published in the Federal Register on November 5, 2007 (72 FR 62524). Specifically, this rule corrects sections of the EAR as set forth below.

Part 742

Section 742.6 is amended by adding the phrase ``(except 6A002.a.3.d.a.2 and 6A002.a.3.e for lead selenide focal plane arrays)'' after 6A002.a.3 in paragraph (a)(1) to reflect the change in RS controls in Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 6A002 that was published on November 5, 2007.

Part 744

Section 744.17 is amended by revising the reference in the first sentence to ``Part 42'' to read ``Part 742'' to fix the typographical error.

Category 1

ECCN 1A002 is amended to fix a typographical error by revising the phrase ``structures of laminates'' to read ``structures or laminates'' in the last note in the items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section.

Category 3

ECCN 3A001 is amended by revising the abbreviation ``TWAS'' to read ``TWTAs'' in the GBS paragraph of the License Exception section to fix that typographical error.

Category 6

ECCN 6A004 is amended by replacing the double quotes with single quotes around the term `aspheric optical element' in the Related Definitions paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section of ECCN 6A004, because single quotes signify a local definition found in the ECCN as opposed to a definition that is located in Part 772.

ECCN 6A005 is amended by:

1. Removing the reference to a.4 in the NP control paragraph of the License Requirements section, because the equipment in this paragraph is not controlled for nuclear non-proliferation;

2. Revising the phrase ``6A005.c.1.b and 6A005.c.2.b'' to read ``6A005.c.1.b or 6A005.c.2.b'' in paragraphs h and i of the License Requirement Note; and

3. Revising the GBS and CIV paragraphs in the License Exception section of ECCN 6A005 (lasers);

   Rationale: The license exception language under the recently revised ECCN 6A005 does not represent the intent of the agencies involved in the revisions for ECCN 6A005. The intent was for the items described under the revised license exception language to match the descriptions under the earlier version. The license exception language for License Exceptions GBS and CIV under the previous ECCN 6A005 allowed only certain dye, liquid, CO and CO2, and neodymium lasers to be eligible for these exceptions. The license exception language under the recently revised ECCN 6A005 allows all lasers and components, with the exception of NP controlled items, to be eligible for GBS and CIV exceptions. Implementing controls for fiber lasers was a significant part of the 2006 Wassenaar revisions to 6A005. An unintended consequence of the language published on November 5, 2007 permitted these lasers to be eligible for License Exceptions GBS and CIV.

   ECCN 6A995 is amended by:

1. Revising the numbering of the paragraphs in 6A995.d.1, because these paragraphs were mis-numbered; and

2. Revising the average output power from ``500 W'' to ``50 W'' in 6A995.e.1.b to maintain the anti-terrorism controls on lasers that were controlled in 6A005.c.2.c.3.b.2 prior to the November 2007 rule.

   ECCN 6E201 is amended by revising the heading to:

1. Remove the phrase ``not controlled by 6E001 or 6E002'', because 6E001 controls development technology and 6E002 controls production technology, and therefore, the phrase is not necessary in 6E201, which controls use technology; and

2. Remove the reference to 6A005.a.4, because it is not controlled for nuclear non-proliferation reasons.

   Category 7

   ECCN 7A101 is amended by replacing the word ``therefore'' with ``therefor'' in the heading.

   ECCNs 7D001 and 7D003 are amended by revising the MT paragraph in the License Requirements section to replace the text ``MT applies to entire entry except 7A008'' with ``MT applies to ``software'' for equipment controlled for MT reasons. MT does not apply to ``software'' for equipment controlled by 7A008''. This amendment clarifies that the MT controls for these ECCNs only apply to equipment controlled for MT reasons and do not apply to software for equipment controlled by 7A008.

   ECCNs 7E001 and 7E002 are amended by revising the MT paragraph in the License Requirements section to replace the text ``MT applies to entire entry except 7A008'' with ``MT applies to ``technology'' for equipment controlled for MT reasons. MT does not apply to ``technology'' for equipment controlled by 7A008''. This amendment clarifies that the MT controls for these

   [[Page 6604]]

   ECCNs only apply to equipment controlled for MT reasons and do not apply to technology for equipment controlled by 7A008.

   Supplement No. 7 to Part 748 ``Authorization Validated End-User (VEU): List of Validated End-Users, Respective Items Eligible for Export, Reexport and Transfer, and Eligible Destinations''

   The November 5th Wassenaar implementation rule redesignated 3B001.f.2 as 3B001.f.3. Therefore, this rule replaces the listing of ``3B001.f.2'' with ``3B001.f.3'' for Applied Materials China, Ltd in Supplement No 7 to Part 748.

   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 February 5, 2008, 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 April 7, 2008. Any such items not actually exported before midnight, on April 7, 2008, require a license in accordance with this regulation.

   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 effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

   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, 14th & Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Room 2705, Washington, DC 20230.
