                               EXPLANATION

    The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and 
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided 
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal 
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the 
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into 
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
    Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year 
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:

Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1

    The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each 
volume.

LEGAL STATUS

    The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially 
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie 
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).

HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS

    The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual 
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used 
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
    To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its 
revision date (in this case, January 1, 2021), consult the ``List of CFR 
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative 
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of 
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal 
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES

    Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal 
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source 
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page 
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication 
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be 
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In 
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the 
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In 
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register 
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be 
inserted following the text.

OMB CONTROL NUMBERS

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires 
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information 
collection request.

[[Page vi]]

Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as 
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are 
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting 
requirements.

PAST PROVISIONS OF THE CODE

    Provisions of the Code that are no longer in force and effect as of 
the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried. 
Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on any given date 
in the past by using the appropriate List of CFR Sections Affected 
(LSA). For the convenience of the reader, a ``List of CFR Sections 
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume. For changes to 
the Code prior to the LSA listings at the end of the volume, consult 
previous annual editions of the LSA. For changes to the Code prior to 
2001, consult the List of CFR Sections Affected compilations, published 
for 1949-1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, and 1986-2000.

``[RESERVED]'' TERMINOLOGY

    The term ``[Reserved]'' is used as a place holder within the Code of 
Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a 
``[Reserved]'' location at any time. Occasionally ``[Reserved]'' is used 
editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and 
not dropped in error.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

    What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was 
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the 
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring 
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be 
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal 
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as 
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)). 
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force 
of law.
    What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the 
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when 
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which 
approval is based are:
    (a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of 
material published in the Federal Register.
    (b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent 
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative 
process.
    (c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for 
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
    What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If 
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed as 
an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency that 
issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after 
contacting the agency, you find the material is not available, please 
notify the Director of the Federal Register, National Archives and 
Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001, 
or call 202-741-6010.

CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES

    A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a 
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index 
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Authorities 
and Rules. A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts and an 
alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in 
this volume.
    An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within 
that volume.

[[Page vii]]

    The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form. 
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in 
the daily Federal Register.
    A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to 
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.

REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL

    There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing 
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

Sec.301.1  General provisions.

    (a) Purpose. This part sets forth the regulations of the Department 
of Commerce and the Department of the Treasury applicable to the duty-
free importation of scientific instruments and apparatus by public or 
private nonprofit institutions.
    (b) Background. (1) The Agreement on the importation of Educational, 
Scientific and Cultural Materials (Florence Agreement; ``the 
Agreement'') is a multinational treaty, which seeks to further the cause 
of peace through the freer exchange of ideas and knowledge across 
national boundaries, primarily by eliminating tariffs on certain 
educational, scientific and cultural materials.
    (2) Annex D of the Agreement provides that scientific instruments 
and apparatus intended exclusively for educational purposes or pure 
scientific research use by qualified nonprofit institutions shall enjoy 
duty-free entry if instruments or apparatus of equivalent scientific 
value are not being manufactured in the country of importation.
    (3) The Annex D provisions are implemented for U.S. purposes in 
Subchapter X, Chapter 98, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (HTSUS).
    (c) Summary of statutory procedures and requirements. (1) U.S. Note 
1, Subchapter X, Chapter 98, HTSUS, provides, among other things, that 
articles covered by subheadings 9810.00.60 (scientific instruments and 
apparatus), 9810.00.65 (repair components therefor) and 9810.00.67 
(tools for maintaining and testing the above), HTSUS, must be 
exclusively for the use of the institutions involved and not for 
distribution, sale, or other commercial use within five years after 
entry. These articles may be transferred to another qualified nonprofit 
institution, but any commercial use within five years of entry shall 
result in the assessment of applicable duties pursuant to Sec.
301.9(c).
    (2) An institution wishing to enter an instrument or apparatus under 
tariff subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS, must file an application with the 
Customs and Border Protection in accordance with the regulations in this 
section. If the application is made in accordance with the regulations, 
notice of the application is published in the Federal Register to 
provide an opportunity for interested persons and government agencies to 
present views. The application is reviewed by the Secretary of Commerce 
(Director, Statutory Import Programs Staff) , who decides whether or not 
duty-free entry may be accorded the instrument and publishes the 
decision in the Federal Register. An appeal of the final decision may be 
filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, on 
questions of law only, within 20 days after publication in the Federal 
Register.

[[Page 8]]

    (3) Repair components for instruments or apparatus admitted duty-
free under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS require no application and may 
be entered duty-free in accordance with the procedures prescribed in 
Sec.301.10.
    (4) Tools specifically designed to be used for the maintenance, 
checking, gauging or repair of instruments or apparatus admitted under 
subheadings 9810.00.65 and 9810.00.67, HTSUS, require no application and 
may be entered duty-free in accordance with the procedures prescribed in 
Sec.301.10.
    (d) Authority and delegations. The Act authorizes the Secretaries of 
Commerce and the Treasury to prescribe joint regulations to carry out 
their functions under U.S. Note 6, Subchapter X, Chapter 98, HTSUS. The 
Secretary of the Treasury has delegated authority to the Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement, who has retained rulemaking authority and 
further delegated administration of the regulations to the Commissioner 
of the Customs and Border Protection. The authority of the Secretary of 
Commerce has been delegated to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 
and Compliance who has retained rulemaking authority and further 
delegated administration of the regulations to the Director of the 
Statutory Import Programs Staff.

[47 FR 32517, July 28, 1982; 47 FR 34368, Aug. 9, 1982, as amended at 66

2013]



Sec.301.2  Definitions.

    For the purposes of these regulations and the forms used to 
implement them:
    (a) Director means the Director of the Statutory Import Programs 
Staff, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce.
    (b) The Commissioner means Commissioner of Customs and Border 
Protection, or the official(s) designated to act on the Commissioner's 
behalf.
    (c) CBP Port'' or the Port means the port where a particular claim 
has been or will be made for duty-free entry of a scientific instrument 
or apparatus under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS.
    (d) Entry means entry of an instrument into the Customs territory of 
the United States for consumption or withdrawal of an instrument from a 
Customs bonded warehouse for consumption.
    (e) United States includes only the several States, the District of 
Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
    (f) Instrument means instruments and apparatus specified in U.S. 
Note 6(a), Subchapter X, Chapter 98, HTSUS. A combination of basic 
instrument or apparatus and accompanying accessories shall be treated as 
a single instrument provided that, under normal commercial practice, 
such combination is considered to be a single instrument and provided 
further that the applicant has ordered or, upon favorable action on its 
application, firmly intends to order the combination as a unit. The term 
``instrument'' also covers separable components of an instrument that 
are imported for assembly in the United States in such instrument where 
that instrument, due to its size, cannot feasibly be imported in its 
assembled state. The components, as well as the assembled instrument 
itself, must be classifiable under the tariff provisions listed in U.S. 
Note 6(a), Subchapter X, Chapter 98, HTSUS. See paragraph (k) of this 
section and Sec.301.3(f). Unless the context indicates otherwise, 
instrument or apparatus shall mean a foreign ``instrument or apparatus'' 
for which duty-free entry is sought under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS. 
Spare parts typically ordered and delivered with an instrument are also 
considered part of an instrument for purposes of these regulations. The 
term ``instruments'' shall not include:
    (1) Materials or supplies used in the operation of instruments and 
apparatus such as paper, cards, tapes, ink, recording materials, 
expendable laboratory materials, apparatus that loses identity or is 
consumed by usage or other materials or supplies.
    (2) Ordinary equipment for use in building construction or 
maintenance; or equipment for use in supporting activities of the 
institution, such as its administrative offices, machine shops, 
libraries, centralized computer facilities, eating facilities, or 
religious facilities; or support equipment such as copying machines, 
glass working apparatus and film processors.

[[Page 9]]

    (3) General purpose equipment such as air conditioners, electric 
typewriters, electric drills, refrigerators.
    (4) General-purpose computers. Accessories to computers which are 
not eligible for duty-free treatment are also ineligible. Scientific 
instruments containing embedded computers which are to be used in a 
dedicated process or in instrument control, as opposed to general data 
processing or computation, are, however, eligible for duty-free 
consideration.
    (5) Instruments initially imported solely for testing or review 
purposes which were entered under bond under subheading 9813.00.30, 
HTSUS, subject to the provisions of U.S. Note 1(a), Subchapter XIII, 
Chapter 98, HTSUS, and must be exported or destroyed within the time 
period specified in that U.S. Note.
    (g) Domestic instrument means an instrument which is manufactured in 
the United States. A domestic instrument need not be made exclusively of 
domestic components or accessories.
    (h) Accessory has the meaning which it has under normal commercial 
usage. An accessory, whether part of an instrument or an attachment to 
an instrument, adds to the capability of an instrument. An accessory for 
which duty-free entry is sought under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS shall 
be the subject of a separate application when it is not an accompanying 
accessory. The existing instrument, for which the accessory is being 
purchased, may be domestic or, if foreign, it need not have entered duty 
free under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS.
    (i) Accompanying accessory means an accessory for an instrument that 
is listed as an item in the same purchase order and that is necessary 
for accomplishment of the purposes for which the instrument is intended 
to be used.
    (j) Ancillary equipment means an instrument which may be 
functionally related to the foreign instrument but is not operationally 
linked to it. Examples of ancillary equipment are vacuum evaporators or 
ultramicrotomes, which can be used to prepare specimens for electron 
microscopy. Further, equipment which is compatible with the foreign 
instrument, but is also clearly compatible with similar domestic 
instruments, such as a vacuum evaporator sold for use with an electron 
microscope, will be treated as ancillary equipment. A separate 
application will be required for ancillary equipment even if ordered 
with the basic instrument.
    (k) Components of an instrument means parts or assemblies of parts 
which are substantially less than the instrument to which they relate. A 
component enables an instrument to function at a specified minimum 
level, while an accessory adds to the capability of an instrument. 
Applications shall not be accepted for components of instruments that 
did not enter duty-free under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS or for 
components of instruments being manufactured or assembled by a 
commercial firm or entity in the U.S. In determining whether an item is 
a component ineligible for duty-free consideration or an accessory 
eligible for such consideration, Customs and Border Protection shall 
take into account such factors as the item's complexity, novelty, degree 
of integration and pertinency to the research purposes to be performed 
by the instrument as a whole. The above notwithstanding, separable 
components of some instruments may be eligible for duty-free treatment. 
See paragraph (f) of this section.
    (l) Produced for stock means an instrument which is manufactured, on 
sale and available from a stock.
    (m) Produced on order means an instrument which a manufacturer lists 
in current catalog literature and is able and willing to produce and 
have available without unreasonable delay to the applicant.
    (n) Custom-made means an instrument which a manufacturer is willing 
and able to make to purchaser's specifications. Instruments resulting 
from a development effort are treated as custom-made for the purposes of 
these regulations. Also, a special-order variant of a produced on order 
instrument, with significant modifications specified by the applicant, 
may be treated as custom-made.
    (o) Same general category means the category in which an instrument 
is customarily classified in trade directories and product-source lists, 
e.g.,

[[Page 10]]

scanning electron microscope, light microscope.
    (p) Comparable domestic instrument means a domestic instrument 
capable or potentially capable of fulfilling the applicant's technical 
requirements or intended uses, whether or not in the same general 
category as the foreign instrument.
    (q) Specifications means the particulars of the structural, 
operational and performance characteristics or capabilities of a 
scientific instrument.
    (r) Guaranteed specifications are those specifications which are an 
explicit part of the contractual agreement between the buyer and the 
seller (or which would become part of the agreement if the buyer 
accepted the seller's offer), and refer only to the minimum and 
routinely achievable performance levels of the instrument under 
specified conditions. If a capability is listed or quoted as a range 
(e.g., ``5 to 10 nanometers'') or as a minimum that may be exceeded 
(e.g., ``5 angstroms or better''), only the inferior capability may be 
considered the guaranteed specification. Evidence that specifications 
are ``guaranteed'' will normally consist of their being printed in a 
brochure or other descriptive literature of the manufacturer; being 
listed in a purchase agreement upon which the purchase is conditioned; 
or appearing in a manufacturer's formal response to a request for quote. 
If, however, no opportunity to submit a bid was afforded the domestic 
manufacturer or if, for any other reason, comparable guaranteed 
specifications of the foreign and domestic instruments do not appear on 
the record, other evidence relating to a manufacturer's ability to 
provide an instrument with comparable specifications may, at the 
discretion of the Director, be considered in the comparison of the 
foreign and domestic instruments' capabilities. Performance results on a 
test sample run at the applicant's request may be cited as evidence for 
or against a guaranteed specification.
    (s) Pertinent specifications are those specifications necessary for 
the accomplishment of the specific scientific research or science-
related educational purposes described by the applicant. Specifications 
of features (even if guaranteed) which afford greater convenience, 
satisfy personal preferences, accommodate institutional commitments or 
limitations, or assure lower costs of acquisition, installation, 
operation, servicing or maintenance are not pertinent. For example, a 
design feature, such as a small number of knobs or controls on an 
instrument primarily designed for research purposes, would be a 
convenience. The ability to fit an instrument into a small room, when 
the required operations could be performed in a larger room, would be 
either a cost consideration or a matter of convenience and not a 
pertinent specification. In addition, mere difference in design (which 
would, for example, broaden the educational experience of students but 
not provide superior scientific capability) would not be pertinent. 
Also, characteristics such as size, weight, appearance, durability, 
reliability, complexity (or simplicity), ease of operation, ease of 
maintenance, productivity, versatility, ``state of the art'' design, 
specific design and compatibility with currently owned or ordered 
equipment are not pertinent unless the applicant demonstrates that the 
characteristic is necessary for the accomplishment of its scientific 
purposes.

[[Page 11]]

various District Offices of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
    (c) Where to apply. Applications must be filed with the U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection, at the address specified on page 1 of the form.
    (d) Five copies of the form, including relevant supporting 
documents, must be submitted. One of these copies shall be signed in the 
original by the person in the applicant institution under whose 
direction and control the foreign instrument will be used and who is 
familiar with the intended uses of the instrument. The remaining four 
copies of the form may be copies of the original. Attachments should be 
fully identified and referenced to the question(s) on the form to which 
they relate.
    (e) A single application (in the requisite number of copies) may be 
submitted for any quantity of the same type or model of foreign 
instrument provided that the entire quantity is intended to be used for 
the same purposes and provided that all units are included on a single 
purchase order. A separate application shall be submitted for each 
different type or model or variation in the type or model of instrument 
for which duty-free entry is sought even if covered by a single purchase 
order. Orders calling for multiple deliveries of the same type or model 
of instrument over a substantial period of time may, at the discretion 
of the Director, require multiple applications.
    (f) An application for components of an instrument to be assembled 
in the United States as described in Sec.301.2(f) may be filed 
provided that all of the components for the complete, assembled 
instrument are covered by, and fully described in, the application. See 
also Sec.301.2(k).
    (g) Failure to answer completely all questions on the form in 
accordance with the instructions on the form or to supply the requisite 
number of copies of the form and supporting documents may result in 
delays in processing of the application while the deficiencies are

Sec.301.4  Processing of applications by the Department of the 
Treasury (Customs and Border Protection).

    (a) Review and determination. The Commissioner shall date each 
application when received by Customs and Border Protection. If the 
application appears to be complete, the Commissioner shall determine:
    (1) Whether the institution is a nonprofit private or public 
institution established for research and educational purposes and 
therefore authorized to import instruments into the U.S. under 
subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS. In making this determination, the 
Commissioner may require applicants to document their eligibility under 
this paragraph;
    (2) Whether the instrument or apparatus falls within the classes of 
instruments eligible for duty-free entry consideration under subheading 
9810.00.60, HTSUS. For eligible classes, see U.S. Note 6(a), Subchapter 
X, Chapter 98, HTSUS; and
    (3) Whether the instrument or apparatus is for the exclusive use of 
the applicant institution and is not intended to be used for commercial 
purposes. For the purposes of this section, commercial uses would 
include, but not necessarily be limited to: Distribution, lease or sale 
of the instrument by the applicant institution; any use by, or for the 
primary benefit of, a commercial entity; or use of the instrument for 
demonstration purposes in return for a fee, price discount or other 
valuable consideration. Evaluation, modification or testing of the 
foreign instrument, beyond normal, routine acceptance testing and 
calibration, to enhance or expand its capabilities primarily to benefit 
the manufacturer in return for a discount or other valuable 
consideration, may be considered a commercial benefit. In making the 
above determination, the Commissioner may consider, among other

[[Page 12]]

things, whether the results of any research to be performed with the 
instrument will be fully and timely made available to the public. For 
the purposes of this section, use of an instrument for the treatment of 
patients is considered noncommercial.

If any of the Commissioner's determinations is in the negative, the 
application shall be found to be outside the scope of the Act and shall 
be returned to the applicant with a statement of the reason(s) for such 
findings.

    (b) Forwarding of applications to the Department of Commerce. If the 
Commissioner finds the application to be within the scope of the Act and 
these regulations, the Commissioner shall (1) assign a number to the 
application and (2) forward one copy to the Secretary of the Department 
of Health and Human Services (HHS), and two copies, including the one 
that has been signed in the original, to the Director. The Commissioner 
shall retain one copy and return the remaining copy to the applicant 
stamped ``Accepted for Transmittal to the Department of Commerce.'' The 
applicant shall file the stamped copy of the form with the Port when 
formal entry of the article is made. If entry has already occurred under 
a claim of subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS , the applicant (directly or 
through his/her agent) shall at the earliest possible date supply the 
stamped copy to the Port. Further instructions for entering instruments 
are contained in Sec.301.8 of the regulations.

[47 FR 32517, July 28, 1982; 47 FR 34368, Aug. 9, 1982, as amended at 50 
FR 11501, Mar. 22, 1985; 66 FR 28833, May 25, 2001; 74 FR 30463, June 
26, 2009]



Sec.301.5  Processing of applications by the Department of Commerce.

    (a) Public notice and opportunity to present views. (1) Within 5 
days of receipt of an application from the Commissioner, the Director 
shall make a copy available for public inspection during ordinary 
business hours of the Department of Commerce. Unless the Director 
determines that an application has deficiencies which preclude 
consideration on its merits (e.g., insufficient description of intended 
purposes to rule on the scientific equivalency of the foreign instrument 
and potential domestic equivalents), he shall publish in the Federal 
Register a notice of the receipt of the application to afford all 
interested persons a reasonable opportunity to present their views with 
respect to the question ``whether an instrument or apparatus of 
equivalent scientific value for the purpose for which the article is 
intended to be used is being manufactured in the United States.'' The 
notice will include the application number, the name and address of the 
applicant, a description of the instrument(s) for which duty-free entry 
is requested, the name of the foreign manufacturer and a brief summary 
of the applicant's intended purposes extracted from the applicant's 
answer to question 7 of the application. In addition, the notice shall 
specify the date the application was accepted by the Commissioner for 
transmittal to the Department of Commerce.
    (2) If the Director determines that an application is incomplete or 
is otherwise deficient, he may request the applicant to supplement the 
application, as appropriate, prior to publishing the notice of 
application in the Federal Register. Supplemental information/material 
requested under this provision shall be supplied to the Director in two 
copies within 20 days of the date of the request and shall be subject to 
the certification on the form. Failure to provide the requested 
information on time shall result in a denial of the application without 
prejudice to resubmission pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section.
    (3) Requirement for presentation of views (comments) by interested 
persons. Any interested person or government agency may make written 
comments to the Director with respect to the question whether an 
instrument of equivalent scientific value, for the purposes for which 
the foreign instrument is intended to be used, is being manufactured in 
the United States. Except for comments specified in paragraph (a)(4) of 
this section, comments should be in the form of supplementary answers to 
the applicable questions on the application form. Comments must be 
postmarked no later than 20 days from the date on which the notice of

[[Page 13]]

application is published in the Federal Register. In order to be 
considered, comments and related attachments must be submitted to the 
Director in duplicate; shall state the name, affiliation and address of 
the person submitting the comment; and shall specify the application to 
which the comment applies. In order to preserve the right to appeal the 
Director's decision on a particular application pursuant to Sec.301.6 
of these regulations, a domestic manufacturer or other interested person 
must make timely comments on the application. Separate comments should 
be supplied on each application in which a person has an interest. 
However, brochures, pamphlets, printed specifications and the like, 
included with previous comments, if properly identified, may be 
incorporated by reference in subsequent comments.
    (4) Comments by domestic manufacturers. Comments of domestic 
manufacturers opposing the granting of an application should:
    (i) Specify the domestic instrument considered to be scientifically 
equivalent to the foreign article for the applicant's specific intended 
purposes and include documentation of the domestic instrument's 
guaranteed specifications and date of availability.
    (ii) Show that the specifications claimed by the applicant in 
response to question 8 to be pertinent to the intended purpose can be 
equaled or exceeded by those of the listed domestic instrument(s) 
whether or not it has the same design as the foreign instrument; that 
the applicant's alleged pertinent specifications should not be 
considered pertinent within the meaning of Sec.301.2(s) of the 
regulations for the intended purposes of the instrument described in 
response to question 7 of the application; or that the intended purposes 
for which the instrument is to be used do not qualify the instrument for 
duty-free consideration under the Act.
    (iii) Where the comments regarding paragraphs (a)(4)(i) and 
(a)(4)(ii) of this section relate to a particular accessory or optional 
device offered by a domestic manufacturer, cite the type, model or other 
catalog designation of the accessory device and include the 
specification therefor in the comments.
    (iv) Where the justification for duty-free entry is based on 
excessive delivery time, show whether:
    (A) The domestic instrument is as a general rule either produced for 
stock, produced on order, or custom-made and;
    (B) An instrument or apparatus of equivalent scientific value to the 
article, for the purposes described in response to question 7, could 
have been produced and delivered to the applicant within a reasonable 
time following the receipt of the order.
    (v) Indicate whether the applicant afforded the domestic 
manufacturer an opportunity to furnish an instrument or apparatus of 
equivalent scientific value to the article for the purposes described in 
response to question 7 and, if such be the case, whether the applicant 
issued an invitation to bid that included the technical requirements of 
the applicant.
    (5) Untimely comments. Comments must be made on a timely basis to 
ensure their consideration by the Director and the technical 
consultants, and to preserve the commenting person's right to appeal the 
Director's decision. The Director, at his discretion, may take into 
account factual information contained in untimely comments.
    (6) Provision of general comments. A domestic manufacturer who does 
not wish to oppose duty-free entry of a particular application, but who 
desires to inform the Director of the availability and capabilities of 
its instrument(s), may at any time supply documentation to the Director 
without reference to a particular application. Such documentation shall 
be taken into account by the Director when applications involving 
comparable foreign instruments are received. The provision of general 
comments does not preserve the provider's right to appeal the Director's 
decision.
    (b) Additions to the record. The Director may solicit from the 
applicant, from foreign or domestic manufacturers, their agents, or any 
other person or Government agency considered by the Director to have 
related competence, any additional information the Director considers 
necessary to make a decision. The Director may attach conditions and 
time limitations

[[Page 14]]

upon the provision of such information and may draw appropriate 
inferences from a person's failure to provide the requested information.
    (c) Advice from technical consultants. (1) The Director shall 
consider any written advice from the Secretary of HHS, or his delegate, 
on the question whether a domestic instrument of equivalent scientific 
value to the foreign instrument, for the purposes for which the 
instrument is intended to be used, is being manufactured in the United 
States.
    (2) After the comment period has ended (Sec.301.5(a)(3)), the 
complete application and any comments received and related information 
are forwarded to appropriate technical consultants for their advice.
    (3) The technical consultants relied upon for advice include, but 
are not limited to, the National Institutes of Health (delegated the 
function by the Secretary of HHS), the National Institute of Standards 
and Technology and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric 
Administration.
    (d) Criteria for the determinations of the Department of Commerce--
(1) Scientific equivalency. (i) The determination of scientific 
equivalency shall be based on a comparison of the pertinent 
specifications of the foreign instrument with similar pertinent 
specifications of comparable domestic instruments (see Sec.301.2(s) 
for the definition of pertinent specification). Ordinarily, the Director 
will consider only those performance characteristics which are 
``guaranteed specifications'' within the meaning of Sec.301.2(r) of 
this part. In no event, however, shall the Director consider performance 
capabilities superior to the manufacturer's guaranteed specifications or 
their equivalent. In making the comparison the Director may consider a 
reasonable combination of domestic instruments that brings together two 
or more functions into an integrated unit if the combination of domestic 
instruments is capable of accomplishing the purposes for which the 
foreign instrument is intended to be used. If the Director finds that a 
domestic instrument possesses all of the pertinent specifications of the 
foreign instrument, he shall find that there is being manufactured in 
the United States an instrument of equivalent scientific value for such 
purposes as the foreign instrument is intended to be used. If the 
Director finds that the foreign instrument possesses one or more 
pertinent specifications not possessed by the comparable domestic 
instrument, the Director shall find that there is not being manufactured 
in the United States an instrument of equivalent scientific value to the 
foreign instrument for such purposes as the foreign instrument is 
intended to be used.
    (ii) Programs that may be undertaken at some unspecified future date 
shall not be considered in the Director's comparison. In making the 
comparison, the Director shall consider only the instrument and 
accompanying accessories described in the application and determined 
eligible by the Customs and Border Protection. The Director shall not 
consider the planned purchase of additional accessories or the planned 
adaptation of the article at some unspecified future time.
    (iii) In order for the Director to make a determination with respect 
to the ``scientific equivalency'' of the foreign and domestic 
instruments, the applicant's intended purposes must include either 
scientific research or science-related educational programs. Instruments 
used exclusively for nonscientific purposes have no scientific value, 
thereby precluding the requisite finding by the Director with respect to 
``whether an instrument or apparatus of equivalent scientific value to 
such article, for the purposes for which the article is intended to be 
used, is being manufactured in the United States.'' In such cases the 
Director shall deny the application for the reason that the instrument 
has no scientific value for the purposes for which it is intended to be 
used. Examples of nonscientific purposes would be the use of an 
instrument in routine diagnosis or patient care and therapy (as opposed 
to clinical research); in teaching a nonscientific trade (e.g., 
printing, shoemaking, metalworking or other types of vocational 
training); in teaching nonscientific courses (e.g., music, home 
economics, journalism, drama); in presenting a variety of subjects or 
merely for presenting coursework, whether or not science related (e.g., 
video tape editors,

[[Page 15]]

tape recorders, projectors); and in conveying cultural information to 
the public (e.g., a planetarium in the Smithsonian Institution).
    (2) Manufactured in the United States. An instrument shall be 
considered as being manufactured in the United States if it is 
customarily ``produced for stock,'' ``produced on order'' or ``custom-
made'' within the United States. In determining whether a U.S. 
manufacturer is able and willing to produce an instrument, and have it 
available without unreasonable delay, the normal commercial practices 
applicable to the production and delivery of instruments of the same 
general category shall be taken into account, as well as other factors 
which in the Director's judgment are reasonable to take into account 
under the circumstances of a particular case. For example, in 
determining whether a domestic manufacturer is able to produce a custom-
made instrument, the Director may take into account the production 
experience of the domestic manufacturer including (i) the types, 
complexity and capabilities of instruments the manufacturer has 
produced, (ii) the extent of the technological gap between the 
instrument to which the application relates and the manufacturer's 
customary products, (iii) the manufacturer's technical skills, (iv) the 
degree of saturation of the manufacturer's production capability, and 
(v) the time required by the domestic manufacturer to produce the 
instrument to the purchaser's specification. Whether or not the domestic 
manufacturer has field tested or demonstrated the instrument will not, 
in itself, enter into the decision regarding the manufacturer's ability 
to manufacture an instrument. Similarly, in determining whether a 
domestic manufacturer is willing to produce an instrument, the Director 
may take into account the nature of the bid process, the manufacturer's 
policy toward manufacture of the product(s) in question, the minimum 
size of the manufacturer's production runs, whether the manufacturer has 
bid similar instruments in the past, etc. Also, if a domestic 
manufacturer was formally requested to bid an instrument, without 
reference to cost limitations and within a leadtime considered 
reasonable for the category of instrument involved, and the domestic 
manufacturer failed formally to respond to the request, for the purposes 
of this section the domestic manufacturer would not be considered 
willing to have supplied the instrument.
    (3) Burden of proof. The burden of proof shall be on the applicant 
to demonstrate that no instrument of equivalent scientific value for the 
purposes for which the foreign instrument is to be used is being 
manufactured in the United States. Evidence of applicant favoritism 
towards the foreign manufacturer (advantages not extended to domestic 
firms, such as additional lead time, know-how, methods, data on 
pertinent specifications or intended uses, results of research or 
development, tools, jigs, fixtures, parts, materials or test equipment) 
may be, at the Director's discretion, grounds for rejecting the 
application.
    (4) Excessive delivery time. Duty-free entry of the instrument shall 
be considered justified without regard to whether there is being 
manufactured in the United States an instrument of equivalent scientific 
value for the intended purposes if excessive delivery time for the 
domestic instrument would seriously impair the accomplishment of the 
applicant's intended purposes. For purposes of this section, (i) except 
when objective and convincing evidence is presented that, at the time of 
order, the actual delivery time would significantly exceed quoted 
delivery time, no claim of excessive delivery time may be made unless 
the applicant has afforded the domestic manufacturer an opportunity to 
quote and the delivery time for the domestic instrument exceeds that for 
the foreign instrument; and (ii) failure by the domestic manufacturer to 
quote a specific delivery time shall be considered a non-responsive bid 
(see Sec.301.5(d)(2)). In determining whether the difference in 
delivery times cited by the applicant justifies duty-free entry on the 
basis of excessive delivery time, the Director shall take into account 
(A) the normal commercial practice applicable to the production of the 
general category of instrument involved; (B) the efforts made by the 
applicant to secure delivery of the instruments (both foreign

[[Page 16]]

and domestic) in the shortest possible time; and (C) such other factors 
as the Director finds relevant under the circumstances of a particular 
case.
    (5) Processing of applications for components. (i) The Director may 
process an application for components which are to be assembled in the 
United States into an instrument or apparatus which, due to its size, 
cannot be imported in its assembled state (see Sec.301.2(k)) as if it 
were an application for the assembled instrument. A finding by the 
Director that no equivalent instrument is being manufactured in the 
United States shall, subject to paragraph (d)(5)(ii) of this section, 
qualify all the associated components, provided they are entered within 
the period established by the Director, taking into account both the 
scientific needs of the importing institution and the potential for 
development of related domestic manufacturing capacity.
    (ii) Notwithstanding a finding under paragraph (d)(5)(i) of this 
section that no equivalent instrument is being manufactured in the 
United States, the Director shall disqualify a particular component for 
duty-free treatment if the Director finds that the component is being 
manufactured in the United States.
    (e) Denial without prejudice to resubmission (DWOP). The Director 
may, at any stage in the processing of an application by the Department 
of Commerce, DWOP an application if it contains any deficiency which, in 
the Director's judgment, prevents a determination on its merits. The 
Director shall state the deficiencies of the application in the DWOP 
letter to the applicant.
    (1) The applicant has 60 days from the date of the DWOP to correct 
the cited deficiencies in the application unless a request for an 
extension of time for submission of the supplemental information has 
been received by the Director prior to the expiration of the 60-day 
period and is approved.
    (2) If granted, extensions of time will generally be limited to 30 
days.
    (3) Resubmissions must reference the application number of the 
earlier submission. The resubmission may be made by letter to the 
Director. The record of a resubmitted application shall include the 
original submission on file with the Department. Any new material or 
information contained in a resubmission, which should address the 
specific deficiencies cited in the DWOP letter, should be clearly 
labeled and referenced to the applicable question on the application 
form. The resubmission must be for the instrument covered by the 
original application unless the DWOP letter specifies to the contrary. 
The resubmission shall be subject to the certification made on the 
original application.
    (4) If the applicant fails to resubmit within the applicable time 
period, the prior DWOP shall, irrespective of the merits of the case, 
result in a denial of the application.
    (5) The Director shall use the postmark date of the fully completed 
resubmission in determining whether the resubmission was made within the 
allowable time period. Certified or registered mail, or some other means 
which can unequivocally establish the date of mailing, is recommended. 
Resubmission by fax, e-mail or other electronic means is acceptable 
provided an appropriate return number or address is provided in the 
transmittal. Resubmissions must clearly indicate the date of transmittal 
to the Director.
    (6) The applicant may, at any time prior to the end of the 
resubmission period, notify the Director in writing that it does not 
intend to resubmit the application. Upon such notification, the 
application will be deemed to have been withdrawn. (See Sec.301.5(g).)
    (7) Information provided in a resubmission that, in the judgment of 
the Director, contradicts or conflicts with information provided in a 
prior submission, or is not a reasonable extension of the information 
contained in the prior submission, shall not be considered in making the 
decision on an application that has been resubmitted. Accordingly, an 
applicant may elect to reinforce an orginal submission by elaborating in 
the resubmission on the description of the purposes contained in a prior 
submission and may supply additional examples, documentation and/or 
other clarifying detail, but the applicant shall not introduce new 
purposes

[[Page 17]]

or other material changes in the nature of the original application. The 
resubmission should address the specific deficiencies cited in the DWOP. 
The Director may draw appropriate inferences from the failure of an 
applicant to attempt to provide the information requested in the DWOP.
    (8) In the event an applicant fails to address the noted 
deficiencies in the response to the DWOP, the Director may deny the 
application.
    (f) Decisions on applications. The Director shall prepare a written 
decision granting or denying each application. However, when he deems 
appropriate, the Director may issue a consolidated decision on two or 
more applications. The Director shall promptly forward a copy of the 
decision to each applicant institution and to the Federal Register for 
publication.
    (g) Withdrawal of applications. The Director shall discontinue 
processing an application withdrawn by the applicant and shall publish 
notice of such withdrawal in the Federal Register. If at any time while 
its application is pending before the Director, either during the 
intital application or resubmission stage, an applicant cancels an order 
for the instrument to which the application relates or ceases to have a 
firm intention to order such instrument or apparatus, the institution 
shall promptly notify the Director. Such notification shall constitute a 
withdrawal. Withdrawals shall be considered as having been finally 
denied for purposes of Sec.301.7(c) below.
    (h) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as limiting the 
Director's discretion at any stage of processing to insert into the 
record and consider in making his decision any information in the public 
domain which he deems relevant.

Sec.301.6  Appeals.

    (a) An appeal from a final decision made by the Director under Sec.
301.5(f) may be taken in accordance with U.S. Note 6(e), Subchapter X, 
Chapter 98, HTSUS, only to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal 
Circuit and only on questions of law, within 20 days after publication 
of the decision in the Federal Register. If at any time while its 
application is under consideration by the Court of Appeals on an appeal 
from a finding by the Director an institution cancels an order for the 
instrument to which the application relates or ceases to have a firm 
intention to order such instrument, the institution shall promptly 
notify the court.
    (b) An appeal may be taken by: (1) The institution which makes the 
application;
    (2) A person who, in the proceeding which led to the decision, 
timely represented to the Secretary of Commerce in writing that he/she 
manufactures in the United States an instrument of equivalent scientific 
value for the purposes for which the instrument to which the application 
relates is intended to be used;
    (3) The importer of the instrument, if the instrument to which the 
application relates has been entered at the time the appeal is taken; or
    (4) An agent of any of the foregoing.
    (c) Questions regarding appeal procedures should be addressed 
directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Clerk's 
Office, Washington, DC 20439.

Sec.301.7  Final disposition of an application.

    (a) Disposition of an application shall be final when 20 days have 
elapsed after publication of the Director's final decision in the 
Federal Register and no appeal has been taken pursuant to Sec.301.6 of 
these regulations, of if such appeal has been taken, when final judgment 
is made and entered by the Court.
    (b) The Director shall notify the CBP Port when disposition of an 
application becomes final. If the Director has not been advised of the 
port of entry of the instrument, or if entry has not been made when the 
decision on the application becomes final, the Director shall notify the 
Commissioner of final disposition of the application.
    (c) An instrument, the duty-free entry of which has been finally 
denied,

[[Page 18]]

may not be the subject of a new application from the same institution.

Sec.301.8  Instructions for entering instruments through Customs and
Border Protection under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS.

    Failure to follow the procedures in this section may disqualify an 
instrument for duty-free entry notwithstanding an approval of an 
application on its merits by the Department of Commerce.
    (a) Entry procedures. (1) An applicant desiring duty-free entry of 
an instrument may make a claim at the time of entry of the instrument 
into the Customs territory of the United States (as defined in 19 CFR 
101.1) that the instrument is entitled to duty-free classification under 
subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS.
    (2) If no such claim is made the instrument shall be immediately 
classified without regard to subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS , duty will be 
assessed, and the entry liquidated in the ordinary course.
    (3) If a claim is made for duty-free entry under subheading 
9810.00.60, HTSUS , the entry shall be accepted without requiring a 
deposit of estimated duties provided that a copy of the form, stamped by 
Customs and Border Protection as accepted for transmittal to the 
Department of Commerce in accordance with Sec.301.4(b), is filed 
simultaneously with the entry.
    (4) If a claim for duty-free entry under subheading 9810.00.60, 
HTSUS is made but is not accompanied by a copy of the properly stamped 
form, a deposit of the estimated duty is required. Before the entry is 
liquidated, the applicant must file with the CBP Port a properly stamped 
copy of the application form. In the event that the CBP Port does not 
receive a copy of the properly stamped application form before 
liquidation, the instrument shall be classified and liquidated in the 
ordinary course, without regard for subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS.
    (5) Entry of an instrument after the Director's approval of an 
application. Whenever an institution defers entry until after it 
receives a favorable final determination on the application for duty-
free entry of the instrument, either by delaying importation or by 
placing the instrument in a bonded warehouse or foreign trade zone, the 
importer shall file with the entry of the instrument (i) the stamped 
copy of the form, (ii) the institution's copy of the favorable final 
determination and (iii) proof that a bona fide order for the merchandise 
was placed on or before the 60th day after the favorable decision became 
final pursuant to Sec.301.7 of these regulations. Liquidation in such 
case shall be made under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS.
    (b) Normal Customs and Border Protection entry requirements. In 
addition to the entry requirements in paragraph (a) of this section, the 
normal Customs and Border Protection entry requirements must be met. In 
most of the cases, the value of the merchandise will be such that the 
formal Customs and Border Protection entry requirements, which generally 
include the filing of a Customs and Border Protection entry bond, must 
be complied with. (For further information, see 19 CFR 142.3 and 142.4 
(TD-221).)
    (c) Late filing. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this 
section any document, form, or statement required by regulations in this 
section to be filed in connection with the entry may be filed at any 
time before liquidation of the entry becomes final, provided that 
failure to file at the time of entry or within the period for which a 
bond was filed for its production was not due to willful negligence or 
fraudulent intent. Liquidation of any entry becomes conclusive upon all 
persons if the liquidation is not protested in writing in accordance 
with 19 CFR part 174, or the necessary document substantiating duty-free 
entry is not produced in accordance with 19 CFR 10.112. Upon notice of 
such final and conclusive liquidation, the Department of Commerce will 
cease the processing of any pending application for duty-free entry of 
the subject article. In all other respects, the provisions of this 
section do not apply to Department of Commerce responsibilities and 
procedures for processing applications pursuant to other sections of 
these regulations.

[[Page 19]]

    (d) Payment of duties. The importer of record will be billed for 
payment of duties when Customs and Border Protection determines that 
such payment is due. If a refund of a deposit made pursuant to paragraph 
(a)(4) of this section is due, the importer should contact Customs and 
Border Protection officials at the port of entry, not the Department of 
Commerce.

[47 FR 32517, July 28, 1982, as amended at 66 FR 28834, May 25, 2001; 74 
FR 30463, June 26, 2009]



Sec.301.9  Uses and disposition of instruments entered under 
subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS.

    (a) An instrument granted duty-free entry may be transferred from 
the applicant institution to another eligible institution provided the 
receiving institution agrees not to use the instrument for commercial 
purposes within 5 years of the date of entry of the instrument. In such 
cases title to the instrument must be transferred directly between the 
institutions involved. An institution transferring a foreign instrument 
entered under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS within 5 years of its entry 
shall so inform the CBP Port in writing and shall include the following 
information:
    (1) The name and address of the transferring institution.
    (2) The name and address of the transferee.
    (3) The date of transfer.
    (4) A detailed description of the instrument.
    (5) The serial number of the instrument and any accompanying 
accessories.
    (6) The entry number, date of entry, and port of entry of the 
instrument.
    (b) Whenever the circumstances warrant, and occasionally in any 
event, the fact of continued use for 5 years for noncommercial purposes 
by the applicant institution shall be verified by Customs and Border 
Protection.
    (c) If an instrument is transferred in a manner other than specified 
above or is used for commercial purposes within 5 years of entry, the 
institution for which such instrument was entered shall promptly notify 
the Customs and Border Protection officials at the Port and shall be 
liable for the payment of duty in an amount determined on the basis of 
its condition as imported and the rate applicable to it.

FR 30463, June 26, 2009]



Sec.301.10  Importation of repair components and maintenance tools
under HTSUS subheadings 9810.00.65 and 9810.00.67 for instruments
previously the subject of an entry liquidated under subheading
9810.00.60, HTSUS.
          

    (a) An institution owning an instrument that was the subject of an 
entry liquidated duty-free under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS, that 
wishes to enter repair components or maintenance tools for that 
instrument may do so without regard to the application procedures 
required for entry under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS. The institution 
must certify to Customs and Border Protection officials at the port of 
entry that such components are repair components for that instrument 
under subheading 9810.00.65, HTSUS, or that the tools are maintenance 
tools necessary for the repair, checking, gauging or maintenance of that 
instrument under subheading 9810.00.67, HTSUS.
    (b) Instruments entered under subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS, and 
subsequently returned to the foreign manufacturer for repair, 
replacement or modification are not covered by subheading 9810.00.65 or 
9810.00.67, HTSUS, although they may, upon return to the United States, 
be eligible for a reduced duty payment under subheading 9802.00.40 or 
9802.00.50, HTSUS (covering articles exported for repairs or 
alterations) or may be made the subject of a new application under 
subheading 9810.00.60, HTSUS.

                  Subpart A_Watches and Watch Movements



Sec.303.1  Purpose.

    (a) This part implements the responsibilities of the Secretaries of 
Commerce and the Interior (``the Secretaries'') under Pub. L. 97-446, 
enacted on 12 January 1983, which substantially amended Pub. L. 89-805, 
enacted 10 November 1966, amended by Pub. L. 94-88, enacted 8 August 
1975, and amended by Pub. L. 94-241, enacted 24 March 1976, amended by 
Public Law 103-465, enacted 8 December 1994 and amended by Public Law 
108-429 enacted 3 December 2004. The law provides for exemption from 
duty of territorial watches and watch movements without regard to the 
value of the foreign materials they contain, if they conform with the 
provisions of U.S. Legal Note 5 to Chapter 91 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (``91/5''). 91/5 denies this benefit to 
articles containing any material which is the product of any country 
with respect to which Column 2 rates of duty apply; authorizes the 
Secretaries to establish the total quantity of such articles, provided 
that the quantity so established does not exceed 10,000,000 units or 
one-ninth of apparent domestic consumption, whichever is greater, and 
provided also that the quantity is not decreased by more than ten 
percent nor increased by more than twenty percent (or to more than 
7,000,000 units, whichever is greater) of the quantity established in 
the previous year.
    (b) The law directs the International Trade Commission to determine 
apparent domestic consumption for the preceding calendar year in the 
first year U.S. insular imports of watches and watch movements exceed 
9,000,000 units. 91/5 authorizes the Secretaries to establish 
territorial shares of the overall duty-exemption within specified 
limits; and provides for the annual allocation of the duty-exemption 
among insular watch producers equitably and on the basis of allocation 
criteria, including minimum assembly requirements, that will reasonably 
maximize the net amount of direct economic benefits to the insular 
possessions.
    (c) The amended law also provides for the issuance to producers of 
certificates entitling the holder (or any transferee) to obtain duty 
refunds on any article imported into the customs territory of the United 
States duty paid except for any article containing a material which is 
the product of a country to which column 2 rates of duty apply. The 
amounts of these certificates may not exceed specified percentages of 
the producers' verified

[[Page 21]]

creditable wages in the insular possessions (90% of wages paid for the 
production of the first 300,000 units and declining percentages, 
established by the Secretaries, of wages paid for incremental production 
up to 750,000 units by each producer) nor an aggregate annual amount for 
all certificates exceeding $5,000,000 adjusted for growth by the ratio 
of the previous year's gross national product to the gross national 
product in 1982. Refund requests are governed by regulations issued by 
the Department of Homeland Security. The Secretaries are authorized to 
issue regulations necessary to carry out their duties under additional 
U.S. note 5 to chapter 91 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States, HTSUS and may cancel or restrict the license or 
certificate of any insular manufacturer found violating the regulations.

Sec.303.2  Definitions and forms.

    (a) Definitions. Unless the context indicates otherwise:
    (1) Act means Pub. L. 97-446, enacted January 12, 1983 (19 U.S.C. 
1202), 96 Stat. 2329, as amended at Pub. L. 103-465, enacted on December 
8, 1994, 108 Stat. 4991, Public Law 108-429, enacted on 3 December 2004, 
118 Stat. 2582.
    (2) Secretaries means the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of 
Interior or their delegates, acting jointly.
    (3) Director means the Director of the Statutory Import Programs 
Staff, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce.
    (4) Sale or tranfer of a business means the sale or transfer of 
control, whether temporary or permanent, over a firm to which a duty-
exemption has been allocated, to any other firm, corporation,

including, but not limited to, merger and transfer of stock, assets or 
voting trusts.
    (5) New firm is a watch firm not affiliated through ownership or 
control with any other watch duty-refund recipient. In assessing whether 
persons or parties are affiliated, the Secretaries will consider the 
following factors, among others: stock ownership; corporate or family 
groupings; franchise or joint venture agreements; debt financing; and 
close supplier relationships. The Secretaries may not find that control 
exists on the basis of these factors unless the relationship has the 
potential to affect decisions concerning production, pricing, or cost. 
Also, no watch duty-refund recipient may own or control more than one 
jewelry duty-refund recipient. A new entrant is a new watch firm which 
has received an allocation.
    (6) Producer means a duty-exemption holder which has maintained its 
eligibility for further allocations by complying with these regulations.
    (7) Established industry means all producers, including new 
entrants, that have maintained their eligibility for further 
allocations.
    (8) Territories, territorial, and insular possessions refer to the 
insular possessions of the United States (i.e., the U.S. Virgin Islands, 
Guam, and American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands).
    (9) Duty-exemption refers to the authorization of duty-free entry of 
a specified number of watches and watch movements into the Customs 
Territory of the United States.
    (10) Total annual duty-exemption refers to the entire quantity of 
watches or watch movements which may enter duty-free into the customs 
territory of the United States from the territories under 91/5 in a 
calendar year, as determined by the Secretaries or by the International 
Trade Commission in accordance with the Act.
    (11) Territorial distribution refers to the apportionment by the 
Secretaries of the total annual duty-exemption among the separate 
territories; territorial share means the portion consigned to each 
territory by this apportionment.
    (12) Allocation refers to the distribution of all parts of a 
territorial share, or a portion thereof, among the several producers in 
a territory.
    (13) Creditable wages and associated, creditable fringe benefits and 
creditable duty differentials eligible for the duty refund benefit 
include, but are not limited to, the following:

[[Page 22]]

    (i) Wages up to an amount equal to 65 percent of the contribution 
and benefit base for Social Security, as defined in the Social Security 
Act for the year in which wages were earned, paid to permanent residents 
of the insular possessions employed in a firm's 91/5 watch and watch 
movement program.
    (A) Wages paid for the repair of watches up to an amount equal to 85 
percent of the firm's total creditable wages.
    (B) Wages paid to watch and watch movement assembly workers involved 
in the complete assembly of watches and watch movements which have 
entered the United States duty-free and have complied with the laws and 
regulations governing the program.
    (C) Wages paid to watch and watch movement assembly workers involved 
in the complete assembly of watches, excluding the movement, only in 
situations where the desired movement can not be purchased unassembled 
and the producer has documentation establishing this.
    (D) Wages paid to those persons engaged in the day-to-day assembly 
operations on the premises of the company office, wages paid to 
administrative employees working on the premises of the company office, 
wages paid to security employees and wages paid to servicing and 
maintenance employees if these services are integral to the assembly and 
manufacturing operations and the employees are working on the premises 
of the company office.
    (E) Wages paid to persons engaged in both creditable and non-
creditable assembly and repair operations may be credited proportionally 
provided the firm maintains production, shipping and payroll records 
adequate for the Departments' verification of the creditable portion.
    (F) Wages paid to new permanent residents who have met the 
requirements of permanent residency in accordance with the Departments' 
regulations, along with meeting all other creditable wage requirements 
of the regulations, which must be documented and verified to the 
satisfaction of the Secretaries.
    (ii) The combined creditable amount of individual health and life 
insurance per year, for each full-time permanent resident employee who 
works on the premises of the company office and whose wages qualify as 
creditable, may not exceed 130 percent of the ``weighted average'' 
yearly federal employee health insurance, which is calculated from the 
individual health plans weighted by the number of individual contracts 
in each plan. The yearly amount is calculated by the Office of Personnel 
Management and includes the ``weighted average'' of all individual 
health insurance costs for federal employees throughout the United 
States. The maximum life insurance allowed within this combined amount 
is $50,000 for each employee. Only during the time employees are earning 
creditable wages are they entitled to health and life insurance duty 
refund benefits under the program.
    (A) The combined creditable amount of family health and life 
insurance per year, for each full-time permanent resident employee who 
works on the premises of the company office and whose wages qualify as 
creditable, may not exceed 150 percent of the ``weighted average'' 
yearly federal employee health insurance, which is calculated from the 
family health plans weighted by the number of family contracts in each 
plan. The yearly amount is calculated by the Office of Personnel 
Management and includes the ``weighted average'' of all family health 
insurance costs for federal employees throughout the United States. The 
maximum life insurance allowed within this combined amount is $50,000 
for each employee. Only during the time employees are earning creditable 
wages are they entitled to health and life insurance duty refund 
benefits under the program.
    (B) The creditable pension benefit, for each full-time permanent 
resident employee who works on the premises of the company office and 
whose wages qualify as creditable, is up to 3 percent of the employee's 
wages unless the employee's wages exceed the maximum annual creditable 
wage allowed under the program (see paragraph (a)(13)(i) of this 
section). An employee earning more than the maximum creditable wage 
allowed under the program will be eligible for only 3 percent of the 
maximum creditable wage. Only during

[[Page 23]]

the time employees are earning creditable wages are they entitled to 
pension duty refund benefits under the program.
    (iii) If tariffs on watches and watch movements are reduced, then 
companies would be required to provide the annual aggregate data by 
individual HTSUS watch tariff numbers for the following components 
contained therein: the quantity and value of watch cases, the quantity 
of movements, the quantity and value of each type of strap, bracelet or 
band, and the quantity and value of batteries shipped free of duty into 
the United States. If discrete watch movements are shipped free of duty 
into the United States, then the annual aggregate quantity by individual 
HTSUS movement tariff numbers would also be required along with the 
value of each battery if it is contained within. These data would be 
used to calculate the annual duty rate before each HTSUS tariff 
reduction, and the annual duty rate after the HTSUS tariff reduction. 
The amount of the difference would be creditable toward the duty refund. 
The tariff information would only be collected and used in the 
calculation of the annual duty-refund certificate and would not be used 
in the calculation of the mid-year duty-refund.
    (14) Non-creditable wages and associated non-creditable fringe 
benefits ineligible for the duty refund benefit include, but are not 
limited to, the following:
    (i) Wages over 65 percent of the contribution and benefit base for 
Social Security, as defined in the Social Security Act for the year in 
which wages were earned, paid to permanent residents of the territories 
employed in a firm's 91/5 watch and watch movement program.
    (A) Wages paid for the repair of watches in an amount over 85 
percent of the firm's total creditable wages.
    (B) Wages paid for the assembly of watches and watch movements which 
are shipped outside the customs territory of the United States; wages 
paid for the assembly of watches and watch movements that do not meet 
the regulatory assembly requirements; or wages paid for the assembly of 
watches or watch movements that contain HTSUS column 2 components.
    (C) Wages paid for the complete assembly of watches, excluding the 
movement, when the desired movement can be purchased unassembled, if the 
producer does not have adequate documentation, demonstrating to the 
satisfaction of the Secretaries, that the movement could not be 
purchased unassembled whether or not it is entering the United States.
    (D) Wages paid to persons not engaged in the day-to-day assembly 
operations on the premises of the company office; wages paid to any 
outside consultants; wages paid to outside the office personnel, 
including but not limited to, lawyers, gardeners, construction workers, 
and accountants; wages paid to employees not working on the premises of 
the company office; and wages paid to employees who do not qualify as 
permanent residents in accordance with the Departments' regulations.
    (E) Wages paid to persons engaged in both creditable and non-
creditable assembly and repair operations if the producer does not 
maintain production, shipping and payroll records adequate for the 
Departments' verification of the creditable portion.
    (ii) Any costs, for the year in which the wages were paid, of the 
combined creditable amount of individual health and life insurance for 
employees over 130 percent of the ``weighted average'' yearly individual 
health insurance costs for all federal employees. The cost of any life 
insurance over the $50,000 limit for each employee. Any health and life 
insurance costs during the time an employee is not earning creditable 
wages.
    (A) Any costs, for the year in which the wages were paid, of the 
combined creditable amount of family health and life insurance for 
employees over 150 percent of the ``weighted average'' yearly family 
health insurance costs for all federal employee. The cost of any life 
insurance over the $50,000 limit for each employee. Any health and life 
insurance costs during the time an employee is not earning creditable 
wages.
    (B) Any pension benefits that were not based on associated 
creditable wages. The cost of any pension benefit

[[Page 24]]

per employee over 3 percent of the employee's creditable wages unless 
the employee's wages exceed the maximum annual creditable annual maximum 
creditable wage allowed under the program (see paragraph (a)(13)(i) of 
this section). Employees earning over the maximum creditable wage 
allowed under the program would have a creditable annual pension benefit 
of up to 3 percent of the maximum creditable wage and wages over 3 
percent of the maximum creditable wage would not be creditable.
    (15) Non-91/5 watches and watch movements include, but are not 
limited to, watches and movements which are liquidated as dutiable by 
the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection but do not include, for 
purposes of the duty refund, watches that are completely assembled in 
the insular possessions, with the exception of a desired movement if the 
movement cannot be purchased in an unassembled condition; contains any 
material which is the product of any country with respect to which 
Column 2 rates of duty apply; are ineligible for duty-free treatment 
pursuant to law or regulation; or are units the assembly of which the 
Departments have determined not to involve substantial and meaningful 
work in the territories (as elsewhere defined in these regulations).
    (16) Discrete movements and components means screws, parts, 
components and subassemblies not assembled together with another part, 
component or subassembly at the time of importation into the territory. 
(A mainplate containing set jewels or shock devices, together with other 
parts, would be considered a single discrete component, as would a 
barrel bridge subassembly.)
    (17) Permanent resident means a person with one residence which is 
in the insular possessions or a person with one or more residences 
outside the insular possessions who meets criteria that include 
maintaining his or her domicile in the insular possessions, residing 
(i.e., be physically present for at least 183 days within a continuous 
365 day period) and working in the territory at a program company, and 
maintaining his or her primary office for day-to-day work in the insular 
possessions.
    (b) Forms--(1) ITA-334P ``Application for License to Enter Watches 
and Watch Movements into the Customs Territory of the United States.'' 
This form must be completed annually by all producers desiring to 
receive an annual allocation. It is also used, with appropriate special 
instructions for its completion, by new firms applying for duty-
exemptions and by producers who wish to receive the duty refund in 
installments on a biannual basis.
    (2) ITA-333 ``License to Enter Watches and Watch Movements into the 
Customs Territory of the United States.'' This form is issued by the 
Director to producers who have received an allocation and constitutes 
authorization for issuing specific shipment permits by the territorial 
governments. It is also used to record the balance of a producer's 
remaining duty-exemptions after each shipment permit is issued.
    (3) ITA-340 ``Permit to Enter Watches and Watch Movements into the 
Customs Territory of the United States.'' This form may be obtained, by 
producers holding a valid license, from the territorial government or 
may be produced by the licensee in an approved computerized format or 
any other medium or format approved by the Departments of Commerce and 
the Interior. The completed form authorizes duty-free entry of a 
specified amount of watches or watch movements at a specified U.S. 
Customs port.
    (4) ITA-360P ``Certificate of Entitlement to Secure the Refund of 
Duties on Articles that Entered the Customs Territory of The United 
State Duty Paid.'' This document authorizes an insular watch producer to 
request the refund of duties on imports of articles that entered the 
customs territory of the United States duty paid, up to the specified 
value of the certificate. Certificates may be used to obtain duty 
refunds only when presented with a properly executed Form ITA-361P.
    (5) ITA-361P ``Request for Refund of Duties on Articles that Entered 
the Customs Territory of the United States Duty Paid.'' This form must 
be completed to obtain the refund of duties authorized by the Director 
through Form ITA-

[[Page 25]]

360P. After authentication by the Department of Commerce, it may be used 
for the refund of duties on items which were entered into the customs 
territory of the United States duty paid during a specified time period. 
Copies of the appropriate Customs entries must be provided with this 
form to establish a basis for issuing the claimed amounts. The forms may 
also be used to transfer all or part of the producer's entitlement to 
another party. (See Sec.303.12.)

Sec.303.3  Determination of the total annual duty-exemption.

    (a) Procedure for determination. If, after considering the 
productive capacity of the territorial watch industry and the economic 
interests of the territories, the Secretaries determine that the amount 
of the total annual duty-exemption, or the territorial shares of the 
total amount, should be changed, they shall publish in the Federal 
Register a proposed limit on the quantity of watch units which may enter 
duty-free into the customs territory of the United States and proposed 
territorial shares thereof and, after considering comments, establish 
the limit and shares by Federal Register notice. If the Secretaries take 
no action under this section, they shall make the allocations in 
accordance with the limit and shares last established by this procedure.
    (b) Standards for determination. (1) Notwithstanding paragraph 
(b)(2) of this section, the limit established for any year may be 
7,000,000 units if the limit established for the preceding year was a 
smaller amount.
    (2) Subject to paragraph (c) of this section, the total annual duty-
exemption shall not be decreased by more than 10% of the quantity 
established for the preceding calendar year, or increased, if the 
resultant total is larger than 7,000,000, by more than 20% of the 
quantity established for the calendar year immediately preceding.
    (3) The Secretaries shall determine the limit after considering the 
interests of the territories; the domestic or international trade policy 
objectives of the United States; the need to maintain the competitive 
nature of the territorial industry; the total contribution of the 
industry to the economic well-being of the territories; and the 
territorial industry's utilization of the total duty-exemption 
established in the preceding year.
    (c) Determinations based on consumption. (1) The Secretaries shall 
notify the International Trade Commission whenever they have reason to 
believe duty-free watch imports from the territories will exceed 
9,000,000 units, or whenever they make a preliminary determination that 
the total annual duty-exemption should exceed 10,000,000 units.
    (2) In addition to the limitations in paragraph (b) of this section, 
the Secretaries shall not establish a limit exceeding one-ninth of 
apparent domestic consumption if such consumption, as determined by 
International Trade Commission, exceeds 90 million units.

FR 43568, Oct. 28, 1985; 53 FR 52994, Dec. 30, 1988]



Sec.303.4  Determination of territorial distribution.

    (a) Procedure for determination. The Secretaries shall determine the 
territorial shares concurrently with their determination of the total 
annual duty exemption, and in the same manner (see Sec.303.3, above).
    (b) Standards for determination--(1) Limitations. A territorial 
share may not be reduced by more than 500,000 units in any calendar 
year. No territorial share shall be less than 500,000 units.
    (2) Criteria for setting precise quantities. The Secretaries shall 
determine the precise quantities after considering, inter alia, the 
territorial capacity to produce and ship watch units. The Secretaries 
shall further bear in mind the aggregate benefits to the territories, 
such as creditable wages paid, creditable wages per unit exported, and 
corporate income tax payments.
    (3) Limitations on reduction of share. The Secretaries shall not 
reduce a territory's share if its producers use 85%

[[Page 26]]

or more of the quantity distributed to that territory in the immediately 
preceding year, except in the case of a major increase or decrease in 
the number of producers in a territory or if they believe that a 
territorial industry will decrease production by more than 15% from the 
total of the preceding year.
    (4) Standby redistribution authority. The Secretaries may 
redistribute territorial shares if such action is warranted by 
circumstances unforeseen at the time of the initial distributions, such 
as that a territory will use less than 80% of its total by the end of a 
calendar year, or if a redistribution is necessary to maintain the 
competitive nature of the territorial industries.

[49 FR 17740, Apr. 25, 1984, as amended at 50 FR 7170, Feb. 21, 1985]



Sec.303.5  Application for annual allocations of duty-exemptions
and duty-refunds.

    (a) Application forms (ITA-334P) shall be furnished to producers by 
January 1, and must be completed and returned to the Director no later 
than January 31, of each calendar year.
    (b) All data supplied are subject to verification by the Secretaries 
and no allocation or duty-refund certificate shall be made to producer 
until the Secretaries are satisfied that the data are accurate. To 
verify the data, representatives of the Secretaries shall have access to 
relevant company records including:
    (1) Work sheets used to answer all questions on the application 
form;
    (2) Original records from which such data are derived;
    (3) Records pertaining to ownership and control of the company and 
to the satisfaction of eligibility requirements of duty-free treatment 
of its product by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection;
    (4) Records pertaining to corporate income taxes, gross receipts 
taxes and excise taxes paid by each producer in the territories on the 
basis of which a portion of each producer's annual allocation is or may 
be predicated;
    (5) Customs, bank, payroll, including time cards, production 
records, and all shipping records including the importer of record 
number and proof of residency, as requested;
    (6) Records on purchases of components, including documentation on 
the purchase of any preassembled movements, which demonstrate that such 
movements could not have been purchased from the vendor in an 
unassembled condition, and records on the sales of insular watches and 
movements, including proof of payment; and
    (7) Any other records in the possession of the parent or affiliated 
companies outside the territory pertaining to any aspect of the 
producer's 91/5 watch assembly operation.
    (8) All records pertaining to health insurance, life insurance and 
pension benefits for each employee; and
    (9) If HTSUS tariffs on watches and watch movements are reduced, 
records of the annual aggregate data by individual HTSUS watch tariff 
numbers for the following components contained therein would be 
required: the quantity and value of watch cases; the quantity of 
movements; the quantity and value of each type of strap, bracelet or 
band; and the quantity and value of batteries shipped free of duty into 
the United States. In addition, if applicable, records of the annual 
aggregate quantity of discrete watch movements shipped free of duty into 
the United States by HTSUS tariff number.
    (c) Data verification shall be performed in the territories, unless 
other arrangements satisfactory to the Departments are made in advance, 
by the Secretaries' representatives by the end of February of each 
calendar year. It is the responsibility of each program producer to make 
the appropriate data available to the Departments' officials for the 
calendar year for which the annual verification is being performed and 
no further data, from the calendar year for which the audit is being 
completed, will be considered for benefits at any time after the audit 
has been completed. In the event of discrepancies between the 
application and substantiating data before the audit is complete, the 
Secretaries shall determine which data will be used in the calculation 
of the duty refund and allocations.
    (d) Records subject to the requirements of paragraph (b), above, 
shall be

[[Page 27]]

retained for a period of two years following their creation.

[49 FR 17740, Apr. 25, 1984, as amended at 50 FR 43568, Oct. 28, 1985; 
53 FR 52994, Dec. 30, 1988; 68 FR 56556, Oct. 1, 2003; 70 FR 67648, Nov. 
8, 2005; 72 FR 16714, Apr. 5, 2007]



Sec.303.6  Allocation and reallocation of exemptions among producers.

    (a) Interim allocations. As soon as practicable after January 1 of 
each year the Secretaries shall make an interim allocation to each 
producer equaling 70% of the number of watch units it has entered duty-
free into the customs territory of the United States during the first 
eight months of the preceding calendar year, or any lesser amount 
requested in writing by the producer. The Secretaries may also issue a 
lesser amount if, in their judgment, the producer might otherwise 
receive an interim allocation in an amount greater than the producer's 
probable annual allocation. In calculating the interim allocations, the 
Director shall count only duty-free watches and watch movements verified 
by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, or verified by other 
means satisfctory to the Secretaries, as having been entered on or 
before August 31 of the preceding year. Interim allocations shall not be 
published.
    (b) Annual allocations. (1) By March 1 of each year the Secretaries 
shall make annual allocations to the producers in accordance with the 
allocation formula based on data supplied in their annual application 
(Form ITA-334P) and verified by the Secretaries.
    (2) The excess of a producer's duty-exemption earned under the 
allocation criteria over the amount formally requested by the producer 
shall be considered to have been relinquished voluntarily (see paragraph 
(f) below). A producer's request may be modified by written 
communication received by the Secretaries by February 28, or, at the 
discretion of the Secretaries, before the annual allocations are made. 
An allocation notice shall be published in the Federal Register.
    (c) Supplemental allocations. At the request of a producer, the 
Secretaries may supplement a producer's interim allocation if the 
Secretaries determine the producer's interim allocation will be used 
before the Secretaries can issue the annual allocation. Allocations to 
supplement a producer's annual allocation shall be made under the 
reallocation provisions prescribed below.
    (d) Allocations to new entrants. In making interim and annual 
allocations to producers selected the preceding year as new entrants, 
the Secretaries shall take into account that such producers will not 
have had a full year's operation as a basis for computation of its duty-
exemption. The Secretaries may make an interim or annual allocation to a 
new entrant even if the firm did not operate during the preceding 
calendar year.
    (e) Special allocations. A producer may request a special allocation 
if unusual circumstances kept it from making duty-free shipments at a 
level comparable with its past record. In considering such requests, the 
Secretaries shall take into account the firm's proposed assembly 
operations; its record in contributing to the territorial economy; and 
its intentions and capacity to make meaningful contributions to the 
territory. They shall also first determine that the amount of the 
special allocation requested will not significantly affect the amounts 
allocated to other producers pursuant to Sec.303.6(b)(1).
    (f) Reallocations. Duty-exemptions may become available for 
reallocation as a result of cancellation or reduction for cause, 
voluntary relinquishment or nonplacement of duty-exemption set aside for 
new entrants. At the request of a producer, the Secretaries may 
reallocate such duty-exemptions among the remaining producers who can 
use additional quantities in a manner judged best for the economy of the 
territories. The Secretaries shall consider such factors as the wage and 
income tax contributions of the respective producers during the 
preceding year and the nature of the producer's present assembly 
operations. In addition, the Secretaries may consider other factors 
which, in their judgment, are relevant to determining that applications 
from new firms, in lieu of reallocations, should be considered for part 
or all of unused portions of the total duty exemptions. Such factors may 
include:

[[Page 28]]

    (1) The ability of the established industry to use the duty-
exemption;
    (2) Whether the duty-exemption is sufficient to support new entrant 
operations;
    (3) The impact upon the established industry if new entrants are 
selected, particularly with respect to the effect on local employment, 
tax contributions to the territorial government, and the ability of the 
established industry to maintain satisfactory production levels; and
    (4) Whether additional new entrants offer the best prospect for 
adding economic benefits to the territory.
    (g) Section 303.14 of this part contains the criteria and formulae 
used by the Secretaries in calculating each watch producer's annual 
watch duty-exemption allocation, and other special rules or provisions 
the Secretaries may periodically adopt to carry out their 
responsibilities in a timely manner while taking into account changing 
circumstances. References to duty-exemptions, unless otherwise 
indicated, are to the amount available for reallocation in the current 
calendar year. Specifications of or references to data or bases used in 
the calculation of current year allocations (e.g., economic 
contributions and shipments) are, unless indicated otherwise, those 
which were generated in the previous year.
    (h) The Secretaries may propose changes to Sec.303.14 at any time 
they consider it necessary to fulfill their responsibilities. Normally, 
such changes will be proposed towards the end of each calendar year. 
Interested parties shall be given an opportunity to submit written 
comments on proposed changes.

61 FR 55885, Oct. 30, 1996; 63 FR 5888, Feb. 5, 1998]



Sec.303.7  Issuance of licenses and shipment permits.

    (a) Issuance of Licenses (ITA-333). (1) Concurrently with annual 
allocations under Sec.303.5 the Director shall issue a non-
transferable license (Form ITA-333) to each producer. The Director shall 
also issue a replacement license if a producer's allocation is reduced 
pursuant to Sec.303.6.
    (2) Annual duty-exemption licenses shall be for only that portion of 
a producer's annual duty-exemption not previously licensed.
    (3) If a producer's duty-exemption has been reduced, the Director 
shall not issue a replacement license for the reduced amount until the 
producer's previous license has been received for cancellation by the 
Director.
    (4) A producer's license shall be used in their entirety, except 
when they expire or are cancelled, in order of their date of issuance, 
i.e., an interim license must be completely used before shipment permits 
can be issued against an interim supplemental license.
    (5) Outstanding licenses issued by the Director automatically expire 
at midnight, December 31, of each calendar year. No unused allocation of 
duty-exemption may be carried over into the subsequent calendar year.
    (6) The Director shall ensure that all licenses issued are 
conspicuously marked to show the type of license issued, the identity of 
the producer, and the year for which the license is valid. All licenses 
shall bear the signature of the Director.
    (7) Each producer is responsible for the security of its licenses. 
The loss of a license shall be reported immediately to the Director. 
Defacing, tampering with, and unauthorized use of a license are 
forbidden.
    (b) Shipment Permit Requirements (ITA-340). (1) Producers may obtain 
shipment permits from the territorial government officials designated by 
the Governor. Permits may also be produced in any computerized or other 
format or medium approved by the Departments. The permit is for use 
against a producer's valid duty-exemption license and a permit must be 
completed for every duty-free shipment.
    (2) Each permit must specify the license and permit number, the 
number of watches and watch movements included in the shipment, the 
unused balance remaining on the producer's license, pertinent shipping 
information and must have the certification statement signed by an 
official of the licensee's company. A copy of the completed permit must 
be sent electronically or taken to the designated territorial government 
officials, no later than the day

[[Page 29]]

of shipment, for confirmation that the producer's duty-exemption license 
has not been exceeded and that the permit is properly completed.
    (3) The permit (form ITA-340) shall be filed with Customs along with 
the other required entry documents to receive duty-free treatment unless 
the importer or its representative clears the documentation through 
Customs' automated broker interface. Entries made electronically do not 
require the submission of a permit to Customs, but the shipment data 
must be maintained as part of a producer's recordkeeping 
responsibilities for the period prescribed by Customs' recordkeeping 
regulations. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection Import Specialists 
may request the documentation they deem appropriate to substantiate 
claims for duty-free treatment, allowing a reasonable amount of time for 
the importer to produce the permit.

[49 FR 17740, Apr. 25, 1984, as amended at 50 FR 43568, Oct. 28, 1985; 
61 FR 55885, Oct. 30, 1996]



Sec.303.8  Maintenance of duty-exemption entitlements.

    (a) The Secretaries may order a producer to show cause within 30 
days of receipt of the order why the duty-exemption to which the firm 
would otherwise be entitled should not be cancelled, in whole or in 
part, if:
    (1) At any time after June 30 of the calendar year:
    (i) A producer's assembly and shipment record provides a reasonable 
basis to conclude that the producer will use less than 80 percent of its 
total allocation by the end of the calendar year, and
    (ii) The producer refuses a request from the Departments to 
relinquish that portion of its allocation which they conclude will not 
be used; or
    (2) A producer fails to satisfy or fulfill any term, condition or 
representation, whether undertaken by itself or prescribed by the 
Departments, upon which receipt of allocation has been predicated or 
upon which the Departments have relied in connection with the sale or 
transfer of a business together with its allocation; or
    (3) A producer, in the judgment of the Secretaries, has failed to 
make a meaningful contribution to the territory for a period of two or 
more consecutive calendar years, when compared with the performance of 
the duty-free watch assembly industry in the territory as a whole. This 
comparison shall include the producer's quantitative use of its 
allocations, amount of direct labor employed in the assembly of watches 
and watch movements, and the net amount of corporate income taxes paid 
to the government of the territory. If the producer fails to satisfy the 
Secretaries as to why such action should not be taken, the firm's 
allocation shall be reduced or cancelled, whichever is appropriate under 
the show-cause order. The eligibility of a firm whose allocation has 
been cancelled to receive further allocations may also be terminated.
    (b) The Secretaries may also issue a show-cause order to reduce or 
cancel a producer's allocation or production incentive certificate (see 
Sec.303.12, below), as appropriate, or to declare the producer 
ineligible to receive an allocation or certificate if it violates any 
regulation in this part, uses a form, license, permit, or certificate in 
an unauthorized manner, or fails to provide information or data required 
by these regulations or requested by the Secretaries or their delegates 
in the performance of their responsibilities.
    (c) If a firm's allocation is reduced or cancelled, or if a firm 
voluntarily relinquishes a part of its allocation, the Secretaries may:
    (1) Reallocate the allocation involved among the remaining producers 
in a manner best suited to contribute to the economy of the territory;
    (2) Reallocate the allocation or part thereof to a new entrant 
applicant; or
    (3) Do neither of the above if deemed in the best interest of the 
territories and the established industry.

[49 FR 17740, Apr. 25, 1984, as amended at 61 FR 55885, Oct. 31, 1996]



Sec.303.9  Restrictions on the transfer of duty-exemptions.

    (a) The sale or transfer of a duty-exemption from one firm to 
another shall not be permitted.
    (b) The sale or transfer of a business together with its duty-
exemption shall

[[Page 30]]

be permitted with prior written notification to the Departments. Such 
notification shall be accompanied by certifications and representations, 
as appropriate, that:
    (1) If the transferee is a subsidiary of or in any way affiliated 
with any other company engaged in the production of watch movements 
components being offered for sale to any territorial producer, the 
related company or companies will continue to offer such watch and watch 
movement components on equal terms and conditions to all willing buyers 
and shall not engage in any practice, in regard to the sale of 
components, that competitively disadvantages the non-affiliated 
territorial producers vis-a-vis the territorial subsidiary;
    (2) The sale or transfer price for the business together with its 
duty-exemption does not include the capitalization of the duty-exemption 
per se;
    (3) The transferee is neither directly or indirectly affiliated with 
any other territorial duty-exemption holder in any territory;
    (4) The transferee will not modify the watch assembly operations of 
the duty-exemption firm in a manner that will significantly diminish its 
economic contributions to the territory.
    (c) At the request of the Departments, the transferee shall permit 
representatives of the Departments to inspect whatever records are 
necessary to establish to their satisfaction that the certifications and 
representations contained in paragraph (b) of this section have been or 
are being met.
    (d) Any transferee who is either unwilling or unable to make the 
certifications and representations specified in paragraph (b) of this 
section shall secure the Departments' approval in advance of the sale or 
transfer of the business together with its duty-exemption. The request 
for approval shall specify which of the certifications specified in 
paragraph (b) of this section the firm is unable or unwilling to make, 
and give reasons why such fact should not constitute a basis for the 
Departments' disapproval of the sale or transfer.

[49 FR 17740, Apr. 25, 1984, as amended at 50 FR 43568, Oct. 28, 1985]



Sec. Sec.303.10-303.11  [Reserved]



Sec.303.12  Issuance and use of production incentive certificates.

    (a) Issuance of certificates. (1) The total annual amount of the 
Certificate of Entitlement, Form ITA-360, may be divided and issued on a 
biannual basis. The first portion of the total annual certificate amount 
will be based on reported duty-free shipments and creditable wages, 
determined from the wages as reported on the employer's first two 
quarterly federal tax returns (941-SS), paid during the first six months 
of the calendar year, using the formula in Sec.303.14(c). The 
Departments require the receipt of the data by July 31 for each producer 
who wishes to receive an interim duty refund certificate. The interim 
duty refund certificate will be issued on or before August 31 of the 
same calendar year in which the wages were earned unless the Departments 
have unresolved questions. The process of determining the total annual 
amount of the duty refund will be based on verified creditable wages, 
duty-free shipments into the customs territory of the United States, 
creditable health insurance, life insurance and pension benefits and the 
duty differential, if watch tariffs have been reduced during the 
calendar year. The completed annual application (Form ITA-334P) shall be 
received by the Departments on or before January 31 and the annual 
verification of data and the calculation of each producer's total annual 
duty refund, based on the verified data, will continue to take place in 
February. Once the calculations for each producer's duty refund has been 
completed, the portion of the duty refund that has already been issued 
to each producer will be deducted from the total amount of each 
producer's annual duty refund amount. The duty refund certificate will 
continue to be issued by March 1 unless the Departments have unresolved

    (2) All refund requests made pursuant to the certificates shall be 
entered on the reverse side of the certificate.
    (3) Certificates shall be returned by registered, certified or 
express carrier mail to the Departments when:
    (i) A refund is requested which exhausts the entitlement on the face 
of the certificate,
    (ii) The certificate expires, or
    (iii) The Departments request their return with good cause.
    (4) Certificate entitlements may be transferred according to the

    (c) The use and transfer of certificate entitlements. (1) Insular 
producers issued a certificate may request a refund by executing Form 
ITA-361P (see Sec.303.2(b)(5) and the instructions on the form). After 
authentication by the Department of Commerce, Form ITA-361P may be used 
to obtain duty refunds on articles that entered the customs territory of 
the United States duty paid except for any article containing a material 
which is the product of a country to which column 2 rates of duty apply. 
Articles for which duty refunds are claimed must have entered the 
customs territory of the United States during the two-year period prior 
to the issue date of the certificate or during the one-year period the 
certificate remains valid. Copies of the appropriate Customs entries 
must be provided with the refund request in order to establish a basis 
for issuing the claimed amounts. Certification regarding drawback claims 
and liquidated refunds relating to the presented entries is required 
from the claimant on the form.
    (2) Regulations issued by the Bureau of Customs and Border 
Protection, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, govern the refund of 
duties under Public Law 97-446, as amended by Public Law 103-465 and 
Public Law 108-429. If the Departments receive information from the 
Bureau of Customs and Border Protection that a producer has made 
unauthorized use of any official form, they shall cancel the affected 
certificate.
    (3) The insular producer may transfer a portion of all of its 
certificate entitlement to another party by entering in block C of Form 
ITA-361P the name and address of the party.
    (4) After a Form ITA-361P transferring a certificate entitlement to 
a party other than the certificate holder has been authenticated by the 
Department of Commerce, the form may be exchanged for any consideration 
satisfactory to the two parties. In all cases, authenticated forms shall 
be transmitted to the certificate holder or its authorized custodian for 
disposition (see paragraph (b) above).
    (5) All disputes concerning the use of an authenticated Form ITA-
361P shall be referred to the Departments for resolution. Any party 
named on an authenticated Form ITA-361P shall be considered an 
``interested party'' within the meaning of Sec.303.13 of this part.

Sec.303.14  Allocation factors, duty refund calculations and 
miscellaneous provisions.

    (a) The allocation formula. (1) Except as provided in (a)(2) of this 
section, the territorial shares (excluding any amount set aside for 
possible new entrants) shall be allocated among the several producers in 
each territory in accordance with the following formula:
    (i) Fifty percent of the territorial share shall be allocated on the 
basis of the net dollar amount of economic contributions to the 
territory consisting of the dollar amount of creditable wages, up to an 
amount equal to 65% of the contribution and benefit base for Social 
Security as defined in the Social Security Act for the year in which the 
wages were earned, paid by each producer to territorial residents, plus 
the dollar amount of income taxes (excluding penalty and interest 
payments and deducting any income tax refunds and subsidies paid by the 
territorial government), and
    (ii) Fifty percent of the territorial share shall be allocated on 
the basis of the number of units of watches and watch movements 
assembled in the territory and entered by each producer duty-free into 
the customs territory of the United States.
    (2) If there is only one producer in a territory, the entire 
territorial share, excluding any amount set aside for possible new 
entrants, may be allocated without recourse to any distributive formula.
    (b) Minimum assembly requirements and prohibition of preferential 
supply relationship. (1) No insular watch movement or watch may be 
entered free of duty into the customs territory of the United States 
unless the producer used 30 or more discrete parts and components to 
assemble a mechanical watch movement and 33 or more discrete parts and 
components to assemble a mechanical watch.
    (2) Quartz analog watch movements must be assembled from parts 
knocked down to the maximum degree possible for the technical 
capabilities of the insular industry as a whole. The greatest degree of 
disassembly specified, for each manufacturer's brand and model, by any 
producer in any territory purchasing such brands and models shall 
constitute the disassembly required as a minimum for the industry as a 
whole.
    (3) Watch movements and watches assembled from components with a 
value of more than $300 for watch movements and $3000 for watches shall 
not be eligible for duty-exemption upon entry into the U.S. Customs 
territory. Value means the value of the merchandise plus all charges and 
costs incurred up to the last point of shipment (i.e., prior to entry of 
the parts and components into the territory).

[[Page 33]]

    (4) No producer shall accept from any watch parts and components 
supplier advantages and preferences which might result in a more 
favorable competitive position for itself vis-a-vis other territorial 
producers relying on the same supplier. Disputes under this paragraph 
may be resolved under the appeals procedures contained in Sec.
303.13(b).
    (c) Calculation of the value of the mid-year production incentive 
certificates. (1) The value of each producer's certificate shall equal 
the producer's average creditable wage per unit shipped during the first 
six months of the calendar year multiplied by the sum of:
    (i) The number of units shipped up to 300,000 units times a factor 
of 90%; plus
    (ii) Incremental units shipped up to 450,000 units times a factor of 
85%; plus
    (iii) Incremental units shipped up to 600,000 units times a factor 
of 80%; plus
    (iv) Incremental units shipped up to 750,000 units times a factor of 
75%.
    (2) Calculation of the value of the annual production incentive 
certificates. The value of each producer's certificate shall equal the 
producer's average creditable benefit per unit based on creditable 
wages, health insurance, life insurance and pension benefits plus any 
duty differential, if applicable, averaged from the amount of duty free 
units shipped during the calendar year multiplied by the sum of the 
following to obtain the total verified amount of the annual duty-refund 
per company. This amount would then be adjusted by deducting the amount 
of the mid-year duty-refund already issued.
    (i) The number of units shipped up to 300,000 units times a factor 
of 90%; plus
    (ii) Incremental units shipped up to 450,000 units times a factor of 
85%; plus
    (iii) Incremental units shipped up to 600,000 units times a factor 
of 80%; plus
    (iv) Incremental units shipped up to 750,000 units times a factor of 
75%.
    (3) The Departments may make adjustments for these data in the 
manner set forth in Sec.303.5(c).
    (d) New entrant invitations. Applications from new firms are invited 
for any unused portion of any territorial share.
    (e) Territorial shares. The shares of the total duty exemption are 
1,866,000 for the Virgin Islands, 500,000 for Guam, 500,000 for American 
Samoa, and 500,000 for the Northern Mariana Islands.

                            Subpart B_Jewelry

    Source: 64 FR 67150, Dec. 1, 1999, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.303.15  Purpose.

    (a) This subpart implements the responsibilities of the Secretaries 
of Commerce and the Interior (``the Secretaries'') under Pub. L. 106-36, 
enacted 25 June 1999 which substantially amended Pub. L. 97-446, enacted 
12 January 1983, amended by Pub. L. 89-805, enacted 10 November 1966, 
amended by Pub. L. 94-88, enacted 8 August 1975, amended by Pub. L. 94-
241, enacted 24 March 1976, and amended by Pub. L. 103-465, enacted 8 
December 1994, and Public Law 108-429, enacted on 3 December 2004.
    (b) The amended law provides for the issuance of certificates to 
insular jewelry producers who have met the requirements of the laws and 
regulations, entitling the holder (or any transferee) to obtain refunds 
of duties on any article imported into the customs territory of the 
United States duty paid except for any article containing a material 
which is the product of a country to which column 2 rates of duty apply. 
The amounts of these certificates may not exceed specified percentages 
of the producers' verified creditable wages in the insular possessions 
(90% of wages paid for the production of the first 300,000 duty-free 
units and declining percentages, established by the Secretaries, of 
wages paid for incremental production up to 10,000,000 units by each 
producer) nor an aggregate annual amount for all certificates exceeding 
$5,000,000 adjusted for growth by the ratio of the previous year's gross 
national product to the gross national product in 1982. However, the law 
specifies that watch producer benefits are not to be diminished as a 
consequence

[[Page 34]]

of extending the duty refund to jewelry manufacturers. In the event that 
the amount of the calculated duty refunds for watches and jewelry 
exceeds the total aggregate annual amount that is available, the watch 
producers shall receive their calculated amounts and the jewelry 
producers would receive amounts proportionately reduced from the 
remainder. Refund requests are governed by regulations issued by the 
Department of Homeland Security (see 19 CFR 7.4).
    (c) Section 2401(a) of Pub. L. 106-36 and additional U.S. note 5 to 
chapter 91 of the HTSUS authorize the Secretaries to issue regulations 
necessary to carry out their duties. The Secretaries may cancel or 
restrict the certificate of any insular manufacturer found violating the 
regulations.

[49 FR 17740, Apr. 25, 1984, as amended at 70 FR 67648, Nov. 8, 2005; 72 
FR 16715, Apr. 5, 2007; 73 FR 34857, June 19, 2008]

voting trusts.
    (5) New firm means a jewelry company which has requested in writing

    (b) All data supplied are subject to verification by the Secretaries 
and no duty refund shall be made to producers until the Secretaries are 
satisfied that the data are accurate. To verify the data, 
representatives of the Secretaries shall have access to relevant company 
records including, but not limited to:
    (1) Work sheets used to answer all questions on the application 
form, as specified by the instructions;
    (2) Original records from which such data are derived;
    (3) Records pertaining to ownership and control of the company;
    (4) Records pertaining to all duty-free and dutiable shipments of 
HTSUS 7113 jewelry, including Customs entry documents, or the 
certificate of origin for the shipment, or, if a company did

[[Page 38]]

not receive such documents from Customs, a certification from the 
consignee that the jewelry shipment received duty-free treatment, or a 
certification from the producer, if the producer can attest that the 
jewelry shipment received duty-free treatment;
    (5) Records pertaining to corporate income taxes, gross receipts 
taxes and excise taxes paid by each producer in the territories;
    (6) Customs, bank, payroll, including time cards, production 
records, and all shipping records including the importer of record 
number and proof of residency, as requested;
    (7) All records pertaining to health insurance, life insurance and 
pension benefits for each employee;
    (8) Records on purchases of components and sales of jewelry, 
including proof of payment; and
    (9) Any other records in the possession of the parent or affiliated 
companies outside the territory pertaining to any aspect of the 
producer's jewelry operations.
    (c) Data verification shall be performed in the territories, unless 
other arrangements satisfactory to the Departments are made in advance, 
by the Secretaries' representatives by the end of February of each 
calendar year. It is the responsibility of each program producer to make 
the appropriate data available to the Departments' officials for the 
calendar year for which the annual verification is being performed and 
no further data, from the calendar year for which the audit is being 
completed, will be considered for benefits at any time after the audit 
has been completed. In the event of discrepancies between the 
application and substantiating data before the audit is complete, the 
Secretaries shall determine which data will be used in the calculation 
of the duty refund and allocations.
    (d) Records subject to the requirements of paragraph (b) of this 
section, shall be retained for a period of two years following their 
creation.

Sec.303.18  Sale or transfer of business.

    (a) The sale or transfer of a business together with its duty refund 
entitlement shall be permitted with prior written notification to the 
Departments. Such notification shall be accompanied by certifications 
and representations, as appropriate, that:
    (1) The transferee is neither directly nor indirectly affiliated 
with any other territorial duty refund jewelry recipient in any 
territory;
    (2) The transferee will not modify the jewelry operations in a 
manner that will significantly diminish its economic contributions to 
the territory.
    (b) At the request of the Departments, the transferee shall permit 
representatives of the Departments to inspect whatever records are 
necessary to establish to their satisfaction that the certifications and 
representations contained in paragraph (a) of this section have been or 
are being met.
    (c) Any transferee who is either unwilling or unable to make the 
certifications and representations specified in paragraph (a) of this 
section shall secure the Departments' approval in advance of the sale or 
transfer of the business. The request for approval shall specify which 
of the certifications specified in paragraph (a) of this section the 
firm is unable or unwilling to make, and give reasons why such fact 
should not constitute a basis for the Departments' disapproval of the 
sale or transfer.



Sec.303.19  Issuance and use of production incentive certificates.

    (a) Issuance of certificates. (1) The total annual amount of the 
Certificate of Entitlement, Form ITA-360, may be divided and issued on a 
biannual basis. The first portion of the total annual certificate amount 
will be based on reported duty-free shipments and creditable wages, 
determined from the wages as reported on the employer's first two 
quarterly federal tax returns (941-SS), paid during the first six month 
of the calendar year, using the formula in Sec.303.20(b). The 
Departments require the receipt of the data by July 31 for each producer 
who wishes to receive an interim duty refund certificate. The interim 
duty refund certificate will be issued on or before August

[[Page 39]]

31 of the same year in which the wages were earned unless the 
Departments have unresolved questions. The process of determining the 
total annual amount of the duty refund will be based on verified 
creditable wages, duty-free shipments into the customs territory of the 
United States, creditable health insurance, life insurance and pension 
benefits and the duty differential, if watch tariffs have been reduced 
during the calendar year. The completed annual application (Form ITA-
334P) shall be received by the Departments on or before January 31 and 
the annual verification of data and calculation of each producer's total 
annual duty refund, based on the verified data, will continue to take 
place in February. Once the calculations for each producer's duty refund 
has been completed, the portion of the duty refund that has already been 
issued to each producer will be deducted from the total amount of each 
producer's annual duty refund amount. The duty refund certificate will 
continue to be issued by March 1 unless the Departments have unresolved 
questions.
    (2) Certificates shall not be issued to more than one jewelry 
company in the territories owned or controlled by the same corporate 
entity.
    (b) Security and handling of certificates. (1) Certificate holders 
are responsible for the security of the certificates. The certificates 
shall be kept at the territorial address of the producer or at another 
location having the advance approval of the Departments.
    (2) All refund requests made pursuant to the certificates shall be 
entered on the reverse side of the certificate.
    (3) Certificates shall be returned by registered, certified or 
express carrier mail to the Department of Commerce when:
    (i) A refund is requested which exhausts the entitlement on the face 
of the certificate,
    (ii) The certificate expires, or
    (iii) The Departments request their return with good cause.
    (4) Certificate entitlements may be transferred according to the 
procedures described in paragraph (c) of this section.
    (c) The use and transfer of certificate entitlements. (1) Insular 
producers issued a certificate may request a refund by executing Form 
ITA-361P (see Sec.303.16(b)(3)) and the instruction on the form). 
After authentication by the Department of Commerce, Form ITA-361P may be 
used to obtain duty refunds on article that entered the customs 
territory of the United States duty paid. Duties on an article which is 
the product of a country with respect to column 2 rates of duty apply 
may not be refunded Articles for which duty refunds are claimed must 
have entered the customs territory of the United States during the two-
year period prior to the issue date of the certificate or during the 
one-year period the certificate remains valid. Copies of the appropriate 
Customs entries must be provided with the refund request in order to 
establish a basis for issuing the claimed amounts. Certification 
regarding drawback claims and liquidated refunds relating to the 
presented entries is required from the claimant on the form.
    (2) Regulations issued by the Bureau of Customs and Border 
Protection, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, govern the refund of 
duties under 19 CFR 7.4. If the Departments receive information from the 
Bureau of Customs and Border Protection that a producer has made 
unauthorized use of any official form, they may cancel the affected 
certificate.
    (3) The territorial producer may transfer a portion of all of its 
certificate entitlement to another party by entering in block C of Form 
ITA-361P the name and address of the party.
    (4) After a Form ITA-361P transferring a certificate entitlement to 
a party other than the certificate holder has been authenticated by the 
Department of Commerce, the form may be exchanged for any consideration 
satisfactory to the two parties. In all cases, authenticated forms shall 
be transmitted to the certificate holder or its authorized custodian for 
disposition (see paragraph (b) of this section).
    (5) All disputes concerning the use of an authenticated Form ITA-
361P shall be referred to the Departments for resolution. Any party 
named on an authenticated Form ITA-361P shall be

[[Page 40]]

considered an ``interested party'' within the meaning of Sec.303.21 of 
this part.

Sec.303.20  Duty refund calculations and miscellaneous provisions.

    (a) Territorial jewelry producers are entitled to duty refund 
certificates only for jewelry that they produce which is provided for in 
heading 7113, HTSUS, is a product of a territory and otherwise meets the 
requirements for duty-free entry under General Note 3 (a)(iv), HTSUS, 
and 19 CFR 7.3.
    (1) An article of jewelry is considered to be a product of a 
territory if:
    (i) The article is wholly the growth or product of the territory; or
    (ii) The article became a new and different article of commerce as a 
result of production or manufacture performed in the territories.
    (2) Eighteen month exemption. Any article of jewelry provided for in 
HTSUS heading 7113, assembled in the insular possessions by a new 
entrant jewelry manufacturer shall be treated as a product of the 
insular possessions if such article is entered into the customs 
territory of the United States no later than 18 months after such 
producer commences jewelry manufacturing or jewelry assembly operations 
in the insular possessions.
    (b) Calculation of the value of the mid-year production incentive 
certificates. (1) The value of each producer's certificate shall equal 
the producer's average creditable wage per unit shipped during the first 
six months of the calendar year multiplied by the sum of:
    (i) The number of units shipped up to 300,000 units times a factor 
of 90%; plus
    (ii) Incremental units shipped up to 3,533,334 units times a factor 
of 85%; plus
    (iii) Incremental units shipped up to 6,766,667 units times a factor 
of 80%; plus
    (iv) Incremental units shipped up to 10,000,000 units times a factor 
of 75%.
    (2) Calculation of the value of the annual production incentive 
certificates. The value of each producer's certificate shall equal the 
producer's average creditable benefit per unit based on creditable 
wages, health insurance, life insurance and pension benefits averaged 
from the amount of duty free units shipped during the calendar year 
multiplied by the sum of the following to obtain the total verified 
amount of the annual duty-refund per company. This amount would then be 
adjusted by deducting the amount of the mid-year duty-refund already 
issued.
    (i) The number of units shipped up to 300,000 units times a factor 
of 90%; plus
    (ii) Incremental units shipped up to 3,533,334 units times a factor 
of 85%; plus
    (iii) Incremental units shipped up to 6,766,667 units times a factor 
of 80%; plus
    (iv) Incremental units shipped up to 10,000,000 units times a factor 
of 75%.

Sec.303.21  Appeals.

    (a) Any official decision or action relating to the issuance or use 
of production incentive certificates may be appealed to the Secretaries 
by any interested party. Such appeals must be received within 30 days of 
the date on which the decision was made or the action taken in 
accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of this 
section. Interested parties may petition for the issuance of a rule, or

Redesignated at 46 FR 57457, Nov. 24, 1981.



Sec.310.1  Background and purpose.

    The regulations in this part are issued under the authority of Pub. 
L. 91-269 (84 Stat. 271, 22 U.S.C. 2801 et seq.) which establishes an 
orderly procedure for Federal Government recognition of, and 
participation in, international expositions to be held in the United 
States. The Act provides, inter alia, that Federal recognition of an 
exposition is to be granted upon a finding by the President that such 
recognition will be in the national interest. In making this finding, 
the President is directed to consider, among other factors, a report 
from the Secretary of Commerce as to the purposes and reasons for an 
exposition and the extent of financial and other support to be provided 
by the State and local officials and business and community leaders 
where the exposition is to be held, and a report by the Secretary of 
State to determine whether the exposition is qualified for registration 
under Bureau of International Expositions (BIE) rules. The BIE is an 
international organization established by the Paris Convention of 1928 
(T.I.A.S. 6548 as amended by T.I.A.S. 6549) to regulate the conduct and 
scheduling of international expositions in which foreign nations are 
officially invited to participate. The BIE divides international 
expositions into different categories and types and requires each member 
nation to observe specified minimum time intervals in scheduling each of 
these categories and types of expositions. \1\

[[Page 42]]

Under BIE rules, member nations may not ordinarily participate in an 
international exposition unless such exposition has been approved by the 
BIE. The United States became a member of the BIE on April 30, 1968, 
upon ratification of the Paris Convention by the U.S. Senate (114 Cong. 
Rec. 11012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The BIE defines a General Exposition of the First Category as an 
exposition dealing with progress achieved in a particular field applying 
to several branches of human activity at which the invited countries are 
obligated to construct national pavilions. A General Exposition of the 
Secondary Category is a similar exposition at which invited countries 
are not authorized to construct national pavilions, but occupy space 
provided by the exposition sponsors. Special Category Expositions are 
those dealing only with one particular technique, raw material, or basic 
need.
    The BIE frequency rules require that an interval of 15 years must 
elapse between General Expositions of the First Category held in one 
country. General Expositions of the Second Category require an interval 
of 10 years. An interval of 5 years must ordinarily elapse between 
Special Category Expositions of the same kind in one country or three 
months between Special Category Expositions of different kinds. These 
frequency intervals are computed from the date of the opening of the 
exposition.
    More detailed BIE classification criteria and regulations are 
contained in the Paris Convention of 1928, as amended in 1948 and 1966. 
Applicants not having a copy of the text of this convention may obtain 
one by writing the Director. (The Convention may soon be amended by a 
Protocol which has been approved by the BIE and ratified by the United 
States. This amendment would increase authorized frequencies or 
intervals for BIE approved expositions.)


Federal participation in a recognized international exposition requires 
a specific authorization by the Congress, upon a finding by the 
President that such participation would be in the national interest. The 
Act provides for the transmission to Congress of a participation 
proposal by the President. This proposal transmits to the Congress 
information regarding the exposition, including a statement that it has 
been registered by the BIE and a plan for Federal participation prepared 
by the Secretary of Commerce in cooperation with other interested 
Federal departments and agencies.

organizations, or individuals filing an application with the Director 
seeking Federal recognition of an international exposition to be held in 
the United States.
    (f) State means one of the several States of the United States, the 
District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin 
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific

in the United States for which an application has been filed with the 
Director seeking Federal recognition under the Act; which proposes to 
invite more than one foreign country to participate; and, which would

Sec.310.4  Action on application.

    (a) Upon receipt of an application, the Director will analyze the 
application and all accompanying exhibits to insure compliance with the 
provisions of Sec.310.3 and report his findings with respect thereto 
to the Secretary.
    (b) If more than one applicant applies for Federal recognition for 
expositions to be held within three years or less of each other, the 
applications will be reviewed concurrently by the Director. The 
following standards will be considered in determining which if any of 
the competing applicants will be recommended for Federal recognition:
    (1) The order of receipt of the applications by the Director, 
complete with all exhibits required by Sec.310.3.
    (2) The financial plans of the applications. Primary consideration 
will be given to those applications which do not require Federal 
financing for exposition development. This does not extend to funding 
for a Federal pavilion, if one is desired.
    (3) The relative merit of the applications in terms of their 
qualifications as tourism destination sites, both with respect to 
existing facilities and those facilities planned for the proposed 
exposition. If necessary, to assist in making this determination, the 
Director will appoint a panel of travel industry experts representing 
tour developers, the transportation, entertainment and hotel/motel 
industries for the purpose of studying the competing applications and 
reporting to the Director its views as to which proposed site best meets 
the above criteria. If such a panel is deemed necessary, the provisions

    If the Director's report recommends Federal recognition, the 
Secretary, within a reasonable time, shall submit a report to the 
President.
    (a) The Secretary's report shall include: (1) An evaluation of the 
purposes and reasons for the exposition; and (2) a determination as to 
whether guaranteed financial and other support has been secured by the 
exposition from affected State and local governments and from business

assure the successful development and progress of the exposition.
    (b) Based on information from, and coordination with the Department 
of Commerce the Secretary of State shall also file a report with the 
President that the exposition qualifies for recognition by the BIE.



Sec.310.6  Recognition by the President.

    If the President concurs in the favorable reports from the 
Secretaries of State and Commerce, he may grant Federal recognition to 
the exposition by indicating his concurrence to the two Secretaries and

    If Federal participation in the exposition, as well as Federal 
recognition thereof is desired, the applicant shall in a statement to 
the Director outline the nature of the Federal participation envisioned, 
including whether construction of a Federal pavilion is contemplated. 
(It should be noted, however, that before Federal participation can be 
authorized by the Congress under the Act, the exposition must have (i) 
met the criteria for Federal recognition and be so recognized, and (ii) 
been registered by the BIE. Although applicants need not submit such a 
statement until these prerequisites are satisfied, they are encouraged 
to do so.) Where the desired Federal participation includes a request 
for construction of a Federal pavilion, the statement shall be 
accompanied by the following exhibits:

    1. Exhibit No. 1. A survey drawing of the proposed Federal pavilion 
site, showing its areas and boundaries, its grade elevations, and 
surface and subsoil conditions.
    2. Exhibit No. 2. Evidence of resolutions, statutes, opinions, etc., 
as to the applicant's ability to convey by deed the real property 
comprising the proposed Federal pavilion site in fee-simple and free of 
liens and encumbrances to the Federal Government. The only consideration 
on the part of the Government for the conveyance of the property shall 
be the Government's commitment to participate in the exposition.
    3. Exhibit No. 3. A certified copy of the building code which would 
be applicable should a pavilion be constructed.
    4. Exhibit No. 4. An engineering drawing showing the accessibility 
of the proposed pavilion site to utilities (e.g., sewerage, water, gas, 
electricity, etc.).
    5. Exhibit No. 5. A statement setting forth the security and 
maintenance and arrangements which the applicant would undertake (and an 
estimate of their cost) while a pavilion is under construction.
    6. Exhibit No. 6. A study pursuant to Executive Order 11296 of 
August 10, 1966, entitled ``Evaluation of flood hazard in locating 
Federally owned or financed buildings, roads and other facilities and in 
disposing of Federal land and properties.''



Sec.310.8  Proposed plan for Federal participation.

    (a) Upon receipt of the statement, and the exhibits referred to in 
Sec.310.7, the Director shall prepare a proposed plan in cooperation 
with other interested departments and agencies of the Federal Government 
for Federal participation in the exposition.
    (b) In preparing the proposed plan for Federal participation in the 
exposition, the Director shall conduct a feasibility study of Federal 
participation including cost estimates by utilizing the services within 
the Federal Government, professional consultants and private sources as 
required and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
    (c) The Director, in the proposed plan for Federal participation in 
the exposition, shall determine whether or not a Federal pavilion should 
be constructed and, if so, whether or not the

[[Page 46]]

Government would have need for a permanent structure in the area of the 
exposition or whether a temporary structure would be more appropriate.
    (d) The Director shall seek the advice of the Administrator of the 
General Services Administration to the extent necessary in carrying out 
the proposed plan for Federal participation in the exposition.
    (e) Upon completion of the proposed plan for Federal participation 
in the exposition, the Director shall submit the plan to the Secretary.



Sec.310.9  Report of the Secretary on Federal participation.

    Upon receipt of the Director's proposed plan for Federal 
participation, the Secretary, within a reasonable time, shall submit a 
report to the President including: (a) Evidence that the exposition has 
met the criteria for Federal recognition and has been so recognized; (b) 
a statement that the exposition has been registered by the BIE; and (c) 
a proposed plan for the Federal participation referred to in Sec.
310.8.

the Secretary will stamp it with that date and notify the applicant that 
the application has been accepted for review. If the application is not 
accepted for review, the Secretary shall advise the applicant that it

additional information, or supplies information which the Secretary or 
the Attorney General considers incomplete, the Secretary and the 
Attorney General will decide whether the information in their possession 
is sufficient to make a determination on the application. If either the

applicant if he determines, and the Attorney General concurs, that the

restraint of trade within the United States nor a substantial restraint 
of the export trade of any competitor of the applicant;

the United States of the class of the goods, wares, merchandise or

the disagreement. The Secretary with the concurrence of the Attorney 
General, may modify or revise the proposed certificate to resolve the 
objections and problems raised by the Attorney General, or deny the 
application.
    (3) If the Attorney General receives the proposed certification by 
the date specified in the preceding paragraph and does not respond 
within the time period specified in that paragraph, he shall be deemed 
to concur in the proposed certificate.
    (d) Content of certificate. The certificate shall specify the export 
conduct and all persons or entities which are protected from liability 
under the antitrust laws. The Secretary may certify the proposed export 
conduct contained in the application, in whole or in part, with such 
changes, modifications, terms, or conditions as are appropriate. If the 
Secretary intends to issue a certificate different from a draft 
certificate submitted by the applicant, the Secretary shall first 
consult with the applicant.

shall revoke a certificate, in whole or in part, or modify it, as the 
Secretary or the Attorney General considers necessary, if:
    (1) The export conduct of a person or entity protected by the 
certificate no longer complies with the requirements set forth in Sec.
325.4(b);
    (2) A person or entity protected by the certificate fails to comply 
with a request for information under paragraph (b) of this section; or
    (3) The certificate holder fails to file a complete annual report.
    (b) Request for information. If the Secretary or the Attorney 
General has reason to believe that the export trade, export trade 
activities, or methods of operation of a person or entity protected by a 
certificate no longer comply with the requirements set forth in Sec.
325.4(b), the Secretary shall request any information that he or the 
Attorney General considers to be necessary to resolve the matter.
    (c) Proceedings for the revocation or modification of a 
certificate--(1) Notification letter. If, after reviewing the relevant 
information in their possession, it appears to the Secretary or the 
Attorney General that a certificate should be revoked or modified for 
any of the reasons set forth in paragraph (a) above, the Secretary shall 
so notify the certificate holder in writing. The notification shall be 
sent by registered or certified mail to the address specified in the 
certificate. The notification shall include a detailed statement of the 
facts, conduct, or circumstances which may warrant the revocation or 
modification of the certificate.
    (2) Answer. The certificate holder shall respond to the notification 
letter within thirty days after receiving it, unless the Secretary, in 
his discretion, grants a thirty day extension for good cause shown. The 
certificate holder shall respond specifically to the statement included 
with the notification letter and state in detail why the facts, conduct 
or circumstances described in the notification letter are not true, or 
if they are true, why they do not warrant the revoking or modifying of 
the certificate. If the certificate holder does not respond within the 
specified period, it will be considered an admission of the statements 
contained in the notification letter.
    (3) Resolution of factual disputes. Where material facts are in 
dispute, the Secretary and the Attorney General shall, upon request, 
meet informally with the certificate holder. The Secretary or the 
Attorney General may require the certificate holder to provide any 
documents or information that are necessary to support its contentions. 
After reviewing the statements of the certificate holder and the 
documents or information that the certificate holder has submitted, and 
upon

[[Page 53]]

considering other relevant documents or information in his possession, 
the Secretary shall make proposed findings of the factual matters in 
dispute. The Attorney General is not bound by the proposed findings.
    (4) Final determination. The Secretary and the Attorney General 
shall review the notification letter and the certificate holder's answer 
to it, the proposed factual findings made under paragraph (c)(3) of this 
section, and any other relevant documents or information in their 
possession. If, after review, the Secretary or the Attorney General 
determines that the export conduct of a person or entity protected by 
the certificate no longer complies with the standards set forth in Sec.
325.4(b), the Secretary shall revoke or modify the certificate as 
appropriate. If the Secretary or the Attorney General determines that 
the certificate holder has failed to comply with the request for 
information under paragraph (b) of this section, or has failed to file a 
complete annual report, and that the failure to comply or file should 
result in revocation of modification, the Secretary shall revoke or 
modify the certificate as appropriate. The determination will be final 
and will be issued to the certificate holder in writing. The notice to 
the certificate holder shall include a statement of the circumstances 
underlying and the reasons in support of the determination. If the 
Secretary determines to revoke or modify the certificate, the decision 
shall specify the effective date of the revocation or modification; this 
date must be at least thirty days but not more than ninety days after 
the Secretary notifies the certificate holder of his determination. The 
Secretary shall publish notice in the Federal Register of a revocation 
or modification or a decision not to revoke or modify.
    (d) Investigative information. In proceedings under this section, 
the Attorney General shall make available to the Secretary any 
information that has been obtained in response to Civil Investigative 
Demands issued under section 304(b)(3) of the Act. Unless prohibited by 
law, the Attorney General and the Secretary shall also make available to 
each other any other information which each is relying upon under these 
proceedings.



Sec.325.11  Judicial review.

    (a) Review of certain determinations. (1) Any person aggrieved by a 
final determination of the Secretary under Sec.325.5, Sec.325.7, 
Sec.325.9, or Sec.325.10 of these regulations may, within thirty 
days of the determination, bring an action in an appropriate district 
court of the United States to set aside the determination on the ground 
that it is erroneous. If a certificate is denied, the applicant may 
bring suit within thirty days after the notice of denial is published in 
the Federal Register, or, if the applicant seeks reconsideration, within 
thirty days after the Secretary publishes in the Federal Register notice 
of his determination after reconsideration.
    (b) For purposes of judicial review, determinations of the Secretary 
are final when notice is published in the Federal Register.
    (c) Record for judicial review. For purposes of judicial review, the 
record shall include all information presented to or obtained by the 
Secretary which had a bearing on the determination, the determination 
itself, the supporting statement setting forth the reasons for the 
determination, and the Attorney General's response to the Secretary 
indicating concurrence or nonconcurrence.
    (d) Limitation of judicial review. Except as provided in paragraph 
(a) of this section, no agency action taken under the Act shall be 
subject to judicial review.



Sec.325.12  Returning the applicant's documents.

    (a) Upon the denial or withdrawal of an application for a 
certificate in its entirety, the applicant may request the return of all 
copies of the documents submitted by the applicant in connection with 
the application to the Department of Commerce or the Department of 
Justice. The applicant shall submit this request in writing to both the 
Secretary and the Attorney General.
    (b) The Secretary and the Attorney General shall return the 
documents to the applicant within thirty days after they receive the 
applicant's request.

[[Page 54]]



Sec.325.13  Nonadmissibility in evidence.

    If the Secretary denies, in whole or in part, an application for a 
certificate or for an amendment to a certificate, or revokes or amends a 
certificate, neither the negative determination nor the statement of 
reasons therefor shall be admissible in evidence in any administrative 
or judicial proceeding in support of any claim under the antitrust laws.



Sec.325.14  Submitting reports.

    (a) Not later than each anniversary of a certificate's effective 
date, the Secretary shall notify the certificate holder of the 
information to be included in the annual report. This report shall 
contain any changes relevant to the matters specified in the 
certificate, an update of the information contained in the application 
brought current to the anniversary date, and any other information the 
Secretary considers appropriate, after consultation with the Attorney 
General.
    (b) Not later than forty-five days after each anniversary of a 
certificate's effective date, a certificate holder shall submit its 
annual report to the Secretary. The Secretary shall deliver a copy of 
the annual report to the Attorney General.
    (c) Failure to submit a complete annual report may be the basis for 
modification or revocation of a certificate.



Sec.325.15  Relinquishing a certificate.

    A certificate holder may relinquish a certificate at any time 
through written notice to the Secretary. The certificate will cease to 
be effective on the day the Secretary receives the notice.

    (a) Any information that is submitted by any person under the Act is 
exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 
552).
    (b)(1) Except as authorized under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, 
no officer or employee of the United States shall disclose commercial or 
financial information submitted under this Act if the information is 
privileged or confidential, and if disclosing the information would 
cause harm to the person who submitted it.
    (2) A person submitting information shall designate the documents or 
information which it considers privileged or confidential and the 
disclosure of which would cause harm to the person submitting it. The 
Secretary shall endeavor to notify these persons of any requests or 
demands before disclosing any of this information.
    (3) An officer or employee of the United States may disclose 
information covered under paragraph (b)(1) of this section only under 
the following circumstances--
    (i) Upon a request made by either House of Congress or a Committee 
of the Congress,
    (ii) In a judicial or administrative proceeding subject to issuance 
of an appropriate protective order,
    (iii) With the written consent of the person who submitted the 
information,
    (iv) When the Secretary considers disclosure of the information to 
be necessary for determining whether or not to issue, amend, or revoke a 
certificate, if--
    (A) The Secretary determines that a non-confidential summary of the 
information is inadequate; and
    (B) The person who submitted the information is informed of the 
intent to disclose the information, and has an opportunity to advise the 
Secretary of the potential harm which disclosure may cause,
    (v) In accordance with any requirement imposed by a statute of the 
United States.
    (c) In any judicial or administrative proceeding in which disclosure 
is sought from the Secretary or the Attorney General of any confidential 
or privileged documents or information submitted under this Act, the

               Subpart A_Scope, Definitions and Authority



Sec.400.1  Scope.

    (a) This part sets forth the regulations, including the rules of 
practice and procedure, of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board with regard to 
foreign-trade zones (FTZs or zones) in the United States pursuant to the 
Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u). It 
includes the substantive and procedural rules for the authorization of 
zones and for the Board's regulation of zone activity. The purpose of 
zones as stated in the

[[Page 60]]

Act is to ``expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and other 
purposes.'' The regulations provide the legal framework for 
accomplishing this purpose in the context of evolving U.S. economic and 
trade policy, and economic factors relating to international 
competition.
    (b) Part 146 of the customs regulations (19 CFR part 146) governs 
zone operations, including the admission of merchandise into zones, zone 
activity involving such merchandise, and the transfer of merchandise 
from zones.
    (c) To the extent zones are ``activated'' under U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) procedures in 19 CFR part 146, and only for the 
purposes specified in the Act (19 U.S.C. 81c), zones are treated for 
purposes of the tariff laws and customs entry procedures as being 
outside the customs territory of the United States. Under zone 
procedures, foreign and domestic merchandise may be admitted into zones 
for operations such as storage, exhibition, assembly, manufacture and 
processing, without being subject to formal customs entry procedures and 
payment of duties, unless and until the foreign merchandise enters 
customs territory for domestic consumption. At that time, the importer 
ordinarily has a choice of paying duties either at the rate applicable 
to the foreign material in its condition as admitted into a zone, or if 
used in production activity, to the emerging product. Quota restrictions 
do not normally apply to foreign goods in zones. The Board can deny or 
limit the use of zone procedures in specific cases on public interest 
grounds. Merchandise moved into zones for export (zone-restricted 
status) may be considered exported for purposes such as federal excise 
tax rebates and customs drawback. Foreign merchandise (tangible personal 
property) admitted to a zone and domestic merchandise held in a zone for 
exportation are exempt from certain state and local ad valorem taxes (19 
U.S.C. 81o(e)). Articles admitted into zones for purposes not specified 
in the Act shall be subject to the tariff laws and regular entry 
procedures, including the payment of applicable duties, taxes, and fees.



Sec.400.2  Definitions.

    (a) Act means the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 1934, as amended (19 
U.S.C. 81a-81u).
    (b) Activation limit is the size of the physical area of a 
particular zone or subzone authorized by the Board to be simultaneously 
in activated status with CBP pursuant to 19 CFR 146.6. The activation 
limit for a particular zone/subzone is a figure explicitly specified by 
the Board in authorizing the zone (commonly 2,000 acres) or subzone or, 
in the absence of a specified figure, the total of the sizes of the 
approved sites of the zone/subzone.
    (c) Alternative site framework (ASF) is an optional approach to 
designation and management of zone sites allowing greater flexibility 
and responsiveness to serve single-operator/user locations. The ASF was 
adopted by the Board as a matter of practice in December 2008 (74 FR 
1170, January 12, 2009; correction 74 FR 3987, January 22, 2009) and 
modified by the Board in November 2010 (75 FR 71069, November 22, 2010).

Secretary of the Department of Commerce (chairman) and the Secretary of 
the Treasury, or their designated alternates.

Federal Register after issuance.

    (g) Executive Secretary is the Executive Secretary of the Foreign-
Trade Zones Board.
    (h) Foreign-trade zone (FTZ or zone) includes one or more 
restricted-access sites, including subzones, in or adjacent (as defined

utility (within the meaning of Sec.400.42) under the sponsorship of a 
zone grantee authorized by the Board, with zone operations under the 
supervision of CBP.
    (i) Grant of authority is a document issued by the Board that 
authorizes a zone grantee to establish, operate and maintain a zone, 
subject to limitations and conditions specified in this part and in 19 
CFR part 146. The authority

[[Page 61]]

to establish a zone includes the responsibility to manage it.
    (j) Magnet site means a site intended to serve or attract multiple 
operators or users under the ASF.
    (k) Modification: A major modification is a proposed change to a 
zone that requires action by the FTZ Board; a minor modification is a 
proposed change to a zone that may be authorized by the Executive 
Secretary.
    (l) Person includes any individual, corporation, or entity.
    (m) Port of entry means a port of entry in the United States, as 
defined by part 101 of the customs regulations (19 CFR part 101), or a 
user fee airport authorized under 19 U.S.C. 58b and listed in part 122 
of the customs regulations (19 CFR part 122).
    (n) Private corporation means any corporation, other than a public 
corporation, which is organized for the purpose of establishing, 
operating and maintaining a zone and which is chartered for this purpose 
under a law of the state in which the zone is located.
    (o) Production, as used in this part, means activity involving the 
substantial transformation of a foreign article resulting in a new and 
different article having a different name, character, and use, or 
activity involving a change in the condition of the article which 
results in a change in the customs classification of the article or in 
its eligibility for entry for consumption.
    (p) Public corporation means a state, a political subdivision 
(including a municipality) or public agency thereof, or a corporate 
municipal instrumentality of one or more states.
    (q) Service area means the jurisdiction(s) within which a grantee 
proposes to be able to designate sites via minor boundary modifications 
under the ASF.
    (r) State includes any state of the United States, the District of 
Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
    (s) Subzone means a site (or group of sites) established for a 
specific use.
    (t) Usage-driven site means a site tied to a single operator or user 
under the ASF.
    (u) Zone means a foreign-trade zone established under the provisions 
of the Act and these regulations. Where used in this part, the term also 
includes subzones, unless the context indicates otherwise.
    (v) Zone grantee is the corporate recipient of a grant of authority 
for a zone. Where used in this part, the term ``grantee'' means ``zone 
grantee'' unless otherwise indicated.
    (w) Zone operator is a person that operates within a zone or subzone 
under the terms of an agreement with the zone grantee (or third party on 
behalf of the grantee), with the concurrence of CBP.

organized and functioning as an integrated unit, such as all or part of 
an industrial park or airport facility.

complaint made to the Board by a person directly affected by the 
activity in question and showing good cause. After a proceeding or 
review, the Board may restrict or prohibit any admission of merchandise 
or process of treatment in an activated FTZ site when it determines that 
such activity is detrimental to the public interest, health or safety.

Sec.400.12  Eligible applicants.

    (a) In general. Subject to the other provisions of this section, 
public or private corporations may apply for grants of authority to 
establish zones. The Board shall give preference to public corporations.
    (b) Public corporations and private non-profit corporations. The 
eligibility of public corporations and private non-profit corporations 
to apply for a grant of authority shall be supported by enabling 
legislation of the legislature of the state in which the zone is to be 
located, indicating that the corporation, individually or as part of a 
class, is authorized to so apply. Any application must not be 
inconsistent with the charter or organizational papers of the applying 
entity.
    (c) Private for-profit corporations. The eligibility of private for-
profit corporations to apply for a grant of authority shall be supported 
by a special act of the state legislature naming the applicant 
corporation and by evidence indicating that the corporation is chartered 
for the purpose of establishing a zone.
    (d) Applicants for subzones (except pursuant to Sec.400.24(c))--
(1) Eligibility. The following entities are eligible to apply to 
establish a subzone:
    (i) The grantee of the closest zone in the same state;
    (ii) The grantee of another zone in the same state, which is a 
public corporation (or a non-public corporation if no such other public 
corporation exists), if the Board, or the Executive Secretary, finds 
that such sponsorship better serves the public interest; or
    (iii) A state agency specifically authorized to submit such an 
application by an act of the state legislature.
    (2) Notification of closest grantee. If an application is submitted 
under paragraph (d)(1)(ii) or (iii) of this section, the Executive 
Secretary shall:
    (i) Notify, in writing, the grantee specified in paragraph (d)(1)(i) 
of this section, which may, within 30 days, object to such sponsorship, 
in writing, with supporting information as to why the public interest 
would be better served by its acting as sponsor;
    (ii) Review such objections prior to docketing the application to 
determine whether the proposed sponsorship is in the public interest, 
taking into account:
    (A) The objecting zone's structure and operation;
    (B) The views of state and local public agencies; and
    (C) The views of the proposed subzone operator;
    (iii) Notify the applicant and objecting zone in writing of the 
Executive Secretary's determination;
    (iv) If the Executive Secretary determines that the proposed 
sponsorship is in the public interest, docket the application (see Sec.

Sec.400.13  General conditions, prohibitions and restrictions 
applicable to authorized zones.

    (a) In general. Grants of authority issued by the Board for the 
establishment of zones and any authority subsequently approved for such 
zones, including those already issued, are subject to the Act and this 
part and the following general conditions or limitations:
    (1) Prior to activation of a zone, the zone grantee or operator 
shall obtain all necessary permits from federal, state and local 
authorities, and except as otherwise specified in the Act or this part, 
shall comply with the requirements of those authorities.

[[Page 65]]

    (2) A grant of authority approved under this part includes authority 
for the grantee to permit the erection of buildings necessary to carry 
out the approved zone (subject to concurrence of CBP for an activated 
area of a zone).
    (3) Approvals from the grantee (or other party acting on behalf of 
the grantee, where applicable) and CBP, pursuant to 19 CFR part 146, are 
required prior to the activation of any portion of an approved zone.
    (4) Authority for a zone or a subzone shall lapse unless the zone 
(in case of subzones, the subzone facility) is activated, pursuant to 19 
CFR part 146, and in operation not later than five years from the 
authorization of the zone or subzone, subject to the provisions of Board 
Order 849 (61 FR 53305, October 11, 1996).
    (5) Zone grantees, operators, and users (and persons undertaking 
zone-related functions on behalf of grantees, where applicable) shall 
permit federal government officials acting in an official capacity to 
have access to the zone and records during normal business hours and 
under other reasonable circumstances.
    (6) Activity involving production is subject to the specific 
provisions in Sec.400.14.
    (7) A grant of authority may not be sold, conveyed, transferred, set 
over, or assigned (FTZ Act, section 17; 19 U.S.C. 81q).
    (8) Private ownership of zone land and facilities is permitted, 
provided the zone grantee retains the control necessary to implement the 
approved zone. Such permission shall not constitute a vested right to 
zone designation, nor interfere with the Board's regulation of the 
grantee or the permittee, nor interfere with or complicate the 
revocation of the grant by the Board. Should title to land or facilities 
be transferred after a grant of authority is issued, the zone grantee 
must retain, by agreement with the new owner, a level of control which 
allows the grantee to carry out its responsibilities as grantee. The 
sale of zone-designated land/facility for more than its fair market 
value without zone designation could, depending on the circumstances, be 
subject to the prohibitions set forth in section 17 of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 81q).
    (b) Board authority to restrict or prohibit activity. Pursuant to 
section 15(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 81o(c)), the Board has authority to 
``order the exclusion from [a] zone of any goods or process of treatment 
that in its judgment is detrimental to the public interest, health, or 
safety.'' In approvals of proposed production authority pursuant to 
Sec.400.14(a), the Board may adopt restrictions to protect the public 
interest, health, or safety. When evaluating production activity, either 
as proposed in an application or as part of a review of an operation, 
the Board shall determine whether the activity is in the public interest 
by reviewing it in relation to the evaluation criteria contained in 
Sec.400.27.
    (c) Additional conditions, prohibitions and restrictions. Other 
conditions/requirements, prohibitions and restrictions under Federal, 
State or local law may apply to authorized zones and subzones.



Sec.400.14  Production--requirement for prior authorization; 
restrictions.

    (a) In general. Production activity in zones shall not be conducted 
without prior authorization from the Board. To obtain authorization, the 
notification process provided for in Sec. Sec.400.22 and 400.37 shall 
be used. If Board review of a notification under Sec.400.37 results in 
a determination that further review is warranted for all or part of the 
notified activity, the application process pursuant to Sec. Sec.
400.23, 400.31-400.32, 400.34 and 400.36 shall apply to the activity.
    (b) Scope of authority. Production activity that may be conducted in 
a particular zone operation is limited to the specific foreign-status 
materials and components and specific finished products described in 
notifications and applications that have been authorized pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section, including any applicable prohibitions or 
restrictions. A determination may be requested pursuant to paragraph (d) 
of this section as to whether particular activity falls within the

[[Page 66]]

scope of authorized activity. Unauthorized activity could be subject to 
penalties pursuant to the customs regulations on foreign-trade zones (19 
CFR part 146).
    (c) Information about authorized production activity. The Board 
shall make available via its Web site information regarding the 
materials, components, and finished products associated with individual 
production operations authorized under these and previous regulations, 
as derived from applications and notifications submitted to the Board.
    (d) Scope determinations. Determinations may be made by the 
Executive Secretary as to whether changes in activity are within the 
scope of the production activity already authorized under this part. 
When warranted, the procedures of Sec. Sec.400.32 and 400.34 shall be 
followed.
    (e) Restrictions on items subject to antidumping and countervailing 
duty actions--(1) Board policy. Zone procedures shall not be used to 
circumvent antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) actions 
under 19 CFR part 351.
    (2) Admission of items subject to AD/CVD actions. Items subject to 
AD/CVD orders, or items which would be otherwise subject to suspension 
of liquidation under AD/CVD procedures if they entered U.S. customs 
territory, shall be placed in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) 
upon admission to a zone or subzone. Upon entry for consumption, such 
items shall be subject to duties under AD/CVD orders or to suspension of 
liquidation, as appropriate, under 19 CFR part 351.



Sec.400.15  Production equipment.

    (a) In general. Pursuant to section 81c(e) of the FTZ Act, 
merchandise that is admitted into a foreign-trade zone for use within 
such zone as production equipment or as parts for such equipment, shall 
not be subject to duty until such merchandise is completely assembled, 
installed, tested, and used in the production for which it was admitted. 
Payment of duty may be deferred until such equipment goes into use as 
production equipment as part of zone production activity, at which time 
the equipment shall be entered for consumption as completed equipment.
    (b) Definition of production equipment. Eligibility for this section 
is limited to equipment and parts of equipment destined for use in zone 
production activity as defined in Sec.400.2(o) of this part. 
Ineligible for treatment as production equipment under this section are 
general materials (that are used in the installation of production 
equipment or in the assembly of equipment) and materials used in the 
construction or modification of the plant that houses the production 
equipment.
    (c) Equipment not destined for zone activity. Production equipment 
or parts that are not destined for use in zone production activity shall 
be treated as normal merchandise eligible for standard zone-related 
benefits (i.e., benefits not subject to the requirements of Sec.
400.14(a)), provided the equipment is entered for consumption or 
exported prior to its use.



Sec.400.16  Exemption from state and local ad valorem taxation
of tangible personal property.

    Tangible personal property imported from outside the United States 
and held in a zone for the purpose of storage, sale, exhibition, 
repackaging, assembly, distribution, sorting, grading, cleaning, mixing, 
display, manufacturing, or processing, and tangible personal property 
produced in the United States and held in a zone for exportation, either 
in its original form or as altered by any of the above processes, shall 
be exempt from state and local ad valorem taxation.

Sec.400.24  Application for expansion or other modification to zone.

    (a) In general. (1) A grantee may apply to the Board for authority 
to expand or otherwise modify its zone (including pursuant to the ASF 
procedures adopted by the Board; see 74 FR 1170, Jan. 12, 2009, 74 FR 
3987, Jan. 22, 2009, and 75 FR 71069, Nov. 22, 2010).
    (2) The Executive Secretary, in consultation with CBP as 
appropriate, shall determine whether the proposed modification involves 
a major change in the zone plan and is thus subject to paragraph (b) of 
this section, or is minor and subject to paragraph (c) of this section. 
In making this determination the Executive Secretary shall consider the 
extent to which the proposed modification would:
    (i) Substantially modify the plan originally approved by the Board; 
or
    (ii) Expand the physical dimensions of the approved zone area as 
they relate to the scope of operations envisioned in the original plan.
    (b) Major modification to zone. An application for a major 
modification of an approved zone shall be submitted in accordance with 
the requirements of Sec.400.21, except that the content submitted 
pursuant to Sec.400.21(d)(4) (economic justification) shall relate 
specifically to the proposed change.
    (c) Minor modification to zone. Other applications or requests under 
this subpart shall be submitted in letter form with information and 
documentation necessary for analysis, as determined

[[Page 70]]

by the Executive Secretary, who shall determine whether the proposed 
change is a minor one subject to this paragraph (c) instead of paragraph 
(b) of this section (see Sec.400.38). Such applications or requests 
include those for minor revisions of general-purpose zone or subzone 
boundaries based on immediate need, as well as for designation as a 
subzone of all or part of an existing zone site(s) (or site(s) that 
qualifies for usage-driven status), where warranted by the circumstances 
and so long as the subzone activity remains subject to the activation 
limit (see Sec.400.2(b)) for the zone in question.
    (d) Applications for other revisions to authority. Applications or 
requests for other revisions to authority, such as for Board action to 
establish or modify an activation limit for a zone, modification of a 
restriction or reissuance of a grant of authority, shall be submitted in 
letter form with information and documentation necessary for analysis, 
as determined by the Executive Secretary. If the change involves the 
removal or significant modification of a restriction included by the 
Board in its approval of authority or the reissuance of a grant of 
authority, the review procedures of Sec. Sec.400.31-400.34 and 400.36 
shall be followed, where relevant. If not, the procedure set forth in 
Sec.400.38 shall generally apply (although the Executive Secretary may 
elect to follow the procedures of Sec. Sec.400.31-400.34 and 400.36 
when warranted).

designation shall contain the following information:
    (a) The name of the operator/user for which subzone designation is 
sought;
    (b) The nature of the activity at the proposed subzone;
    (c) The address(es) and physical size (acreage or square feet) of 
the proposed subzone location(s); and
    (d) One or more maps conforming to the requirements of section Sec.
400.21(d)(5)(ii). For any production activity to be conducted at a 
proposed subzone, the separate requirements of Sec.400.14(a) must be 
met.

    Effective Date Note: At 77 FR 12139, Feb. 28, 2012, Sec.400.25 was

requirements and will not become effective until approval has been given 
by the Office of Management and Budget.



Sec.400.26  Criteria for evaluation of applications for expansions,
subzones or other modifications of zones.

    The Board shall consider the following factors in determining 
whether to approve an application pertaining to a zone:
    (a) The need for zone services in the port of entry area, taking 
into account existing as well as projected international trade-related 
activities and employment impact;
    (b) The suitability of each proposed site and its facilities based 
on the plans presented for the site, including existing and planned 
buildings, zone-related activities, and the timeframe for development of 
the site;
    (c) The specific need and justification for each proposed site, 
taking into account existing sites and/or other proposed sites;
    (d) The extent of state and local government support, as indicated 
by the compatibility of the zone project with the community's master 
plan or stated goals for economic development and the views of state and 
local public officials involved in economic development. Such officials 
shall avoid commitments that anticipate the outcome of Board decisions;
    (e) The views of persons likely to be materially affected by 
proposed zone activity; and
    (f) If the application involves production activity, the criteria in 
Sec.400.27.



Sec.400.27  Criteria applicable to evaluation of applications for
production authority.

    The Board shall apply the criteria set forth in this section in 
determining whether to approve an application for authority to conduct 
production activity pursuant to Sec.400.23. The Board's evaluation 
shall take into account such factors as market conditions, price 
sensitivity, degree and nature of foreign competition, intra-industry 
and

[[Page 71]]

intra-firm trade, effect on exports and imports, ability to conduct the 
proposed activity outside the United States with the same U.S. tariff 
impact, analyses conducted in connection with prior Board actions, and 
net effect on U.S. employment and the U.S. economy:
    (a) Threshold factors. It is the policy of the Board to authorize 
zone activity only when it is consistent with public policy and, in 
regard to activity involving foreign merchandise subject to quotas or 
inverted tariffs, when zone procedures are not the sole determining 
cause of imports. Thus, without undertaking a review of the economic 
factors enumerated in Sec.400.27(b), the Board shall deny or restrict 
authority for proposed or ongoing activity if it determines that:
    (1) The activity is inconsistent with U.S. trade and tariff law, or 
policy which has been formally adopted by the Executive branch;
    (2) Board approval of the activity under review would seriously 
prejudice U.S. tariff and trade negotiations or other initiatives; or
    (3) The activity involves items subject to quantitative import 
controls or inverted tariffs, and the use of zone procedures would be 
the direct and sole cause of imports that, but for such procedures, 
would not likely otherwise have occurred, taking into account imports 
both as individual items and as components of imported products.
    (b) Economic factors. After its review of threshold factors, if 
there is a basis for further consideration of the application, the Board 
shall consider the following factors in determining the net economic 
effect of the proposed activity:
    (1) Overall employment impact;
    (2) Exports and re-exports;
    (3) Retention or creation of value-added activity;
    (4) Extent of value-added activity;
    (5) Overall effect on import levels of relevant products;
    (6) Extent and nature of foreign competition in relevant products;
    (7) Impact on related domestic industry, taking into account market 
conditions; and
    (8) Other relevant information relating to the public interest and 
net economic impact considerations, including technology transfers and 
investment effects.
    (c) The significant public benefit(s) that would result from the 
production activity, taking into account the factors in paragraphs (a) 
and (b) of this section.
    (d) Contributory effect. In assessing the significance of the 
economic effect of the proposed zone activity as part of the 
consideration of economic factors, and considering whether it would 
result in a significant public benefit(s), the Board may consider the 
contributory effect zone savings have as an incremental part of cost-
effectiveness programs adopted by companies to improve their 
international competitiveness.



Sec.400.28  Burden of proof.

    (a) In general. An applicant must demonstrate to the Board that its 
application meets the criteria set forth in these regulations. 
Applications for production-related authority shall contain evidence 
regarding the positive economic effect(s) and significant public 
benefit(s) that would result from the proposed activity and may submit 
evidence and comments concerning policy considerations.
    (b) Comments on applications. Comments submitted regarding 
applications should provide information that is probative and 
substantial in addressing the matter at issue relative to the nature of 
the proceeding, including any evidence of the projected direct impact of 
the proposed authority.
    (c) Requests for extensions of comment periods. Requests for 
extensions of comment periods shall include a description of the 
potential impact of the proposed authority and the specific actions or 
steps for which additional time is necessary.
    (d) Responses to comments on applications. Submissions in response 
to comments received during the public comment period or pursuant to 
Sec.400.33(e)(1) or Sec.400.34(a)(5)(iv)(A) should contain evidence 
that is probative and substantial in addressing the matter at issue.



Sec.400.29  Application fees.

    (a) In general. This section sets forth a uniform system of charges 
in the

[[Page 72]]

form of fees to recover some costs incurred by the Foreign-Trade Zones 
staff of the Department of Commerce in processing the applications 
listed in paragraph (b) of this section. The legal authority for the 
fees is 31 U.S.C. 9701, which provides for the collection of user fees 
by agencies of the Federal Government.
    (b) Uniform system of user fee charges. The following fee schedule 
establishes fees for certain types of applications and requests for 
authority on the basis of their estimated average processing time. 
Applications combining requests for more than one type of approval are 
subject to the fee for each category.
    (1) Additional general-purpose zones (Sec.400.21; Sec.
400.11(a)(2))--$3,200
    (2) Special-purpose subzones (Sec.400.25):
    (i) Not involving production activity or involving production 
activity with fewer than three products--$4,000
    (ii) Production activity with three or more products--$6,500
    (3) Expansions (Sec.400.24(b))--$1,600
    (c) Applications submitted to the Board shall include a currently 
dated check drawn on a national or state bank or trust company of the 
United States or Puerto Rico in the amount called for in paragraph (b) 
of this section. Uncertified checks must be acceptable for deposit by 
the Board in a Federal Reserve bank or branch.
    (d) Applicants shall make their checks payable to the U.S. 
Department of Commerce ITA. The checks will be deposited by ITA into the 
Treasury receipts account. If applications are found deficient under 
Sec.400.31(b), or are withdrawn by applicants prior to formal 
docketing, refunds will be made.



       Subpart D_Procedures for Application Evaluation and Reviews



Sec.400.31  General application provisions and pre-docketing review.

    (a) In general. Sections 400.31-400.36 and 400.38 outline the 
procedures to be followed in docketing and processing applications 
submitted under Sec. Sec.400.21, 400.23, 400.24(b), and 400.25. In 
addition, these sections set forth the time schedules which will 
ordinarily apply in processing applications. The schedules will guide 
applicants with respect to the time frames for each of the procedural 
steps involved in the Board's review. Under these schedules, 
applications for subzone designation will generally be processed within 
5 months (3 months for applications subject to Sec.400.36(f)) and 
applications to establish or expand zones will generally be processed 
within 10 months. The general timeframe to process applications for 
production authority is 12 months, but additional time is most likely to 
be required for applications requesting production authority when a 
complex or controversial issue is involved or when the applicant or 
other party has obtained a time extension for a particular procedural 
step. The timeframes specified apply from the time of docketing. Each 
applicant is responsible for submitting an application that meets the 
docketing requirements in a timeframe consistent with the applicant's 
need for action on its request.
    (b) Pre-docketing review. The grantee shall submit a single complete 
copy of an application for pre-docketing review. (For requests relating 
to production in already approved zone or subzone space, the request may 
be submitted by the operator, provided the operator at the same time 
furnishes a copy of the request to the grantee.) The Executive Secretary 
shall determine whether the application satisfies the requirements of 
Sec. Sec.400.12, 400.21, 400.23-400.25, and other applicable 
provisions of this part such that the application is sufficient for 
docketing. If the pre-docketing copy of the application is deficient, 
the Executive Secretary shall notify the applicant within 30 days of 
receipt of the pre-docketing copy, specifying the deficiencies. An 
affected zone participant may also be contacted regarding relevant 
application elements requiring additional information or clarification. 
If the applicant does not correct the deficiencies and submit a 
corrected pre-docketing application copy within 30 days of notification, 
the pre-docketing application (single copy) shall be discarded.

[[Page 73]]



Sec.400.32  Procedures for docketing applications and commencement 
of case review.

    (a) Once the pre-docketing copy of the application is determined to 
be sufficient, the Executive Secretary shall notify the applicant within 
15 days so that the applicant may then submit the original and requisite 
number of copies (which shall be dated upon receipt at the headquarters 
of the Board) for docketing by the Board. For applications subject to 
Sec.400.29, the original shall be accompanied with a check in 
accordance with that section.
    (b) After the procedures described in paragraph (a) of this section 
are completed, the Executive Secretary shall within 15 days of receipt 
of the original and required number of copies of the application:
    (1) Formally docket the application, thereby initiating the 
proceeding or review;
    (2) Assign a case-docket number; and
    (3) Notify the applicant of the formal docketing action.
    (c) After initiating a proceeding based on an application under 
Sec. Sec.400.21 and 400.23-400.25, the Executive Secretary shall:
    (1) Designate an examiner to conduct a review and prepare a report 
or memorandum with recommendations for the Board;
    (2) Publish in the Federal Register a notice of the formal docketing 
of the application and initiation of the review. The notice shall 
include the name of the applicant, a description of the proposal, and an 
invitation for public comment. If the application requests authority for 
production activity and indicates that a component to be used in the 
activity is subject to a trade-related measure or proceeding (e.g., AD/
CVD order or proceeding, suspension of liquidation under AD/CVD 
procedures), the notice shall include that information. For applications 
to establish or expand a zone or for production authority, the comment 
period shall normally close 60 days after the date the notice appears. 
For applications for subzone designation, the comment period shall 
normally close 40 days after the date the notice appears. However, if a 
hearing is held (see Sec.400.52), the comment period shall not close 
prior to 15 days after the date of the hearing. The closing date for 
general comments shall ordinarily be followed by an additional 15-day 
period for rebuttal comments. Requests for extensions of a comment 
period will be considered, subject to the standards of Sec.400.28(c). 
Submissions must meet the requirements of Sec.400.28(b). With the 
exception of submissions by the applicant, any new evidence or new 
factual information and any written arguments submitted after the 
deadlines for comments shall not be considered by the examiner or the 
Board. Submission by the applicant of new evidence or new factual 
information may result in the (re)opening of a comment period. A comment 
period may otherwise be opened or reopened for cause;
    (3) Transmit or otherwise make available copies of the docketing 
notice and the application to CBP;
    (4) Arrange for hearings, as appropriate;
    (5) Transmit the report and recommendations of the examiner and any 
comments by CBP to the Board for appropriate action; and
    (6) Notify the applicant in writing (via electronic means, where 
appropriate) and publish notice in the Federal Register of the Board's 
determination.
    (d) CBP review. Any comments by CBP pertaining to the application 
shall be submitted to the Executive Secretary by the conclusion of the 
public comment period described in paragraph (c)(2) of this section.



Sec.400.33  Examiner's review--application to establish or modify
a zone.

    An examiner assigned to review an application to establish, 
reorganize or expand a zone shall conduct a review taking into account 
the factors enumerated in Sec.400.26 and other appropriate sections of 
this part, which shall include:
    (a) Conducting or participating in hearings scheduled by the 
Executive Secretary;
    (b) Reviewing case records, including public comments;
    (c) Requesting information and evidence from parties of record;
    (d) Developing information and evidence necessary for evaluation and

[[Page 74]]

analysis of the application in accordance with the criteria of the Act 
and this part; and
    (e) Developing recommendations to the Board and submitting a report 
to the Executive Secretary, generally within 150 days of the close of 
the period for public comment (75 days for reorganizations under the 
ASF) (see Sec.400.32):
    (1) If the recommendations are unfavorable to the applicant, they 
shall be considered preliminary and the applicant shall be notified in 
writing (via electronic means, where appropriate) of the preliminary 
recommendations and the factors considered in their development. The 
applicant shall be given 30 days from the date of notification, subject 
to extensions upon request by the applicant, which shall not be 
unreasonably withheld, in which to respond to the recommendations and 
submit additional evidence pertinent to the factors considered in the 
development of the preliminary recommendations. Public comment may be 
invited on preliminary recommendations when warranted.
    (2) If the response contains new evidence on which there has been no 
opportunity for public comment, the Executive Secretary shall publish a 
notice in the Federal Register after completion of the review of the 
response. The new material shall be made available for public inspection 
and the Federal Register notice shall invite further public comment for 
a period of not less than 30 days, with an additional 15-day period for 
rebuttal comments.
    (3) If the bases for an examiner's recommendation(s) change as a 
result of new evidence, the applicable procedures of Sec. Sec.
400.33(e)(1) and (2) shall be followed.
    (4) When necessary, a request may be made to CBP to provide further 
comments, which shall be submitted within 45 days after the request.



Sec.400.34  Examiner's review--application for production authority.

    (a) The examiner shall conduct a review taking into account the 
factors enumerated in this section, Sec.400.27, and other appropriate 
sections of this part, which shall include:
    (1) Conducting or participating in hearings scheduled by the 
Executive Secretary;
    (2) Reviewing case records, including public comments;
    (3) Requesting information and evidence from parties of record and 
others, as warranted;
    (4) Developing information and evidence necessary for analysis of 
the threshold factors and the economic factors enumerated in Sec.
400.27; and
    (5) Conducting an analysis to include:
    (i) An evaluation of policy considerations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
400.27(a)(1) and (2);
    (ii) An evaluation of the economic factors enumerated in Sec. Sec.
400.27(a)(3) and 400.27(b), which shall include an evaluation of the 
economic impact on domestic industry, considering both producers of like 
products and producers of components/materials used in the production 
activity;
    (iii) Conducting appropriate industry research and surveys, as 
necessary; and
    (iv) Developing recommendations to the Board and submitting a report 
to the Executive Secretary, generally within 150 days of the close of 
the period for public comment (although additional time may be required 
in circumstances such as when the applicant or other party has obtained 
a time extension for a particular procedural step):
    (A) If the recommendations are unfavorable to the applicant, they 
shall be considered preliminary and the applicant shall be notified in 
writing (via electronic transmission where appropriate) of the 
preliminary recommendations and the factors considered in their 
development. The applicant shall be given 45 days from the date of 
notification in which to respond to the recommendations and submit 
additional evidence pertinent to the factors considered in the 
development of the preliminary recommendations. Public comment may be 
invited on preliminary recommendations when warranted.
    (B) If the response contains new evidence on which there has not 
been an opportunity for public comment, the Executive Secretary shall 
publish notice in the Federal Register after completion of the review of 
the response. The new material shall be made

[[Page 75]]

available for public inspection and the Federal Register notice shall 
invite further public comment for a period of not less than 30 days, 
with an additional 15-day period for rebuttal comments.
    (C) If the bases for an examiner's recommendation(s) change as a 
result of new evidence, the applicable procedures of Sec. Sec.
400.34(a)(5)(iv)(A) and (B) shall be followed.
    (b) Methodology and evidence. The evaluation of an application for 
production authority shall include the following steps:
    (1) The first phase (Sec.400.27(a)) involves consideration of 
threshold factors. If an examiner or reviewer makes a negative finding 
on any of the factors in Sec.400.27(a) in the course of a review, the 
applicant shall be informed pursuant to Sec.400.34(a)(5)(iv)(A). When 
threshold factors are the basis for a negative recommendation in a 
review of ongoing activity, the zone grantee and directly affected party 
shall be notified and given an opportunity to submit evidence pursuant 
to Sec.400.34(a)(5)(iv)(A). If the Board determines in the negative 
regarding any of the factors in Sec.400.27(a), it shall deny or 
restrict authority for the proposed or ongoing activity.
    (2) The second phase (Sec.400.27(b)) involves consideration of the 
enumerated economic factors, taking into account their relative weight 
and significance under the circumstances. Previous evaluations in 
similar cases shall be considered.



Sec.400.35  Examiner's review--application for subzone designation.

    The examiner shall develop a memorandum with a recommendation on 
whether to approve the application, taking into account the criteria 
enumerated in Sec.400.26. To develop that memorandum, the examiner 
shall review the case records including public comments, and may request 
information and evidence from parties of record, as necessary. The 
examiner's memorandum shall generally be submitted to the Board within 
30 days of the close of the period for public comment. However, 
additional time may be taken as necessary for analysis of any public 
comment in opposition to the application or if other complicating 
factors arise.
    (a) If the examiner's recommendation is unfavorable to the 
applicant, it shall be considered preliminary and the applicant shall be 
notified in writing (via electronic means, where appropriate) of the 
preliminary recommendation and the factors considered in its 
development. The applicant shall be given 30 days from the date of 
notification, subject to extensions upon request by the applicant, which 
shall not be unreasonably withheld, in which to respond to the 
recommendation and submit additional evidence pertinent to the factors 
considered in the development of the preliminary recommendations. Public 
comment may be invited on preliminary recommendations when warranted.
    (b) If the response contains new evidence on which there has not 
been an opportunity for public comment, the Executive Secretary shall 
publish notice in the Federal Register after completion of the review of 
the response. The new material shall be made available for public 
inspection and the Federal Register notice shall invite further public 
comment for a period of not less than 30 days, with an additional 15-day 
period for rebuttal comments.
    (c) If the bases for an examiner's recommendation(s) change as a 
result of new evidence, the applicable procedures of Sec. Sec.
400.35(a) and (b) shall be followed.
    (d) The CBP adviser shall be requested, when necessary, to provide 
further comments, which shall be submitted within 45 days after the 
request.



Sec.400.36  Completion of case review.

    (a) The Executive Secretary shall circulate the examiner's report 
(memorandum in the case of subzone applications) with recommendations to 
CBP headquarters staff and to the Treasury Board member for review and 
action.
    (b) In its advisory role to the Board, CBP headquarters staff shall 
provide any comments within 15 days.
    (c) The vote of the Treasury Board member shall be returned to the 
Executive Secretary within 30 days, unless a formal meeting is requested 
(see, Sec.400.3(b)).

[[Page 76]]

    (d) The Commerce Department shall complete the decision process 
within 15 days of receiving the vote of the Treasury Board member, and 
the Executive Secretary shall publish the Board decision.
    (e) If the Board is unable to reach a unanimous decision, the 
grantee shall be notified and provided an opportunity to meet with the 
Board members or their delegates.
    (f) Delegation of authority to approve subzone designation. The 
Board delegates to the Executive Secretary authority to approve 
applications requesting subzone designation, on the condition that such 
approved subzones will be subject to the activation limit for the zone 
in question.
    (g) The Board or the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance may opt to terminate review of an application 
with no further action if the applicant has failed to provide in a 
timely manner information needed for evaluation of the application. A 
request from an applicant for an extension of time to provide 
information needed for evaluation of an application shall not be 
unreasonably withheld. The Executive Secretary may terminate review of 
an application where the overall circumstances presented in the 
application no longer exist as a result of a material change, and shall 
notify the applicant in writing of the intent to terminate review and 
allow 30 days for a response prior to completion of any termination 
action. The Executive Secretary shall confirm the termination in writing 
(by electronic means, where appropriate) to the applicant.



Sec.400.37  Procedure for notification of proposed production 
activity.

    (a) Submission of notification. A notification for production 
authority pursuant to Sec. Sec.400.14(a) and 400.22 shall be submitted 
simultaneously to the Board's Executive Secretary and to CBP (as well as 
to the grantee of the zone, if the grantee is not the party making the 
submission).
    (b) Initial processing of notification. Upon receipt of a complete 
notification conforming to the requirements of the notification format 
established by the Executive Secretary pursuant to Sec.400.22, the 
Executive Secretary shall commence processing the notification. Unless 
the Executive Secretary determines, based on the content of the 
notification, to recommend further review to the Board without inviting 
public comment on the notification, the Executive Secretary shall 
transmit to the Federal Register a notice inviting public comment on the 
notification (with such comment subject to the standards of Sec.
400.28(b)). The notice shall be transmitted to the Federal Register 
within 15 days of the commencement of the processing of the 
notification, and the comment period shall normally close 40 days after 
the date the notice appears. If the notification indicates that a 
material or component to be used in the activity is subject to an AD/CVD 
order or proceeding, or suspension of liquidation under AD/CVD 
procedures, the notice shall include that information. Evidence, factual 
information and written arguments submitted in response to the notice 
must be submitted by the deadline for comments. Any comments by CBP 
pertaining to the notification shall be submitted to the Executive 
Secretary by the end of the comment period. Within 80 days of receipt of 
the notification, the Executive Secretary shall submit to the Board a 
recommendation on whether further review of all or part of the activity 
subject to the notification is warranted. The Executive Secretary's 
recommendation shall consider comments submitted during the comment 
period, any guidance from specialists within government, and other 
relevant factors based on the Board staff's assessment of the 
notification, in the context of the factors set forth in Sec.400.27.
    (c) Determinations regarding further review. Within 30 days of 
receipt of the Executive Secretary's recommendation, the Board members 
shall provide to the Executive Secretary their determinations on whether 
further review is warranted concerning all or part of the activity that 
is the subject of the notification. If either Board member makes a 
determination that further review is warranted, the activity that is 
subject

[[Page 77]]

to further review (which may constitute all or part of the notified 
activity) shall not be conducted without authorization pursuant to the 
application requirements of Sec.400.23 and the procedural requirements 
of Sec. Sec.400.31-400.34 and 400.36 (or the provisions of paragraph 
(d) of this section, where applicable). Within 120 days of receipt of 
the notification, the Executive Secretary shall notify the party that 
submitted the notification (and the zone grantee, if it did not submit 
the notification) that:
    (1) Further review is not needed for all or part of the activity 
that is the subject of the notification, and that the activity in 
question may be conducted; or
    (2) Further review is needed for all or part of the activity that is 
the subject of the notification, with such activity precluded absent 
specific authorization.
    (d) Authorization for commencement of an activity on an interim 
basis. For an activity notified pursuant to Sec.400.14(a), the 
Executive Secretary may authorize the commencement of some or all of the 
activity on an interim basis. Such authorization shall only be made 
based on a showing that commencement of the activity is time-sensitive, 
with such showing to include comments from CBP that specifically address 
the projected timeframe for commencement of the activity. Interim 
authorization shall not apply to materials or components subject to an 
AD/CVD order or proceeding or suspension of liquidation under AD/CVD 
procedures. As warranted, a determination that further review is needed 
for all or some of the notified activity pursuant to Sec.400.37(c) may 
also revoke the interim authorization until the Board makes a 
determination after conduct of that further review.



Sec.400.38  Procedure for application for minor modification of zone.

    (a) The Executive Secretary shall make a determination in cases 
under Sec.400.24(c) involving minor modifications of zones that do not 
require Board action, such as boundary modifications, including certain 
relocations, and shall notify the applicant in writing of the decision 
within 30 days of the determination that the application or request can 
be processed under Sec.400.24(c). The applicant shall submit a copy of 
its application/request to CBP no later than the time of the applicant's 
submission of the application/request to the Executive Secretary.
    (b) If not previously provided to the applicant for inclusion with 
the applicant's submission of the application/request to the Executive 
Secretary, any CBP comments on the application/request shall be provided 
to the Executive Secretary within 20 days of the applicant's submission 
of the application/request to the Executive Secretary.



      Subpart E_Operation of Zones and Administrative Requirements



Sec.400.41  General operation of zones; requirements for commencement of operations.

    (a) In general. Zones shall be operated by or under the general 
management of zone grantees, subject to the requirements of the FTZ Act 
and this part, as well as those of other federal, state and local 
agencies having jurisdiction over the site(s) and operation(s). Zone 
grantees shall ensure that the reasonable zone needs of the business 
community are served by their zones. CBP officials with oversight 
responsibilities for a port of entry represent the Board with regard to 
the zones adjacent to the port of entry in question and are responsible 
for enforcement, including physical security and access requirements, as 
provided in 19 CFR part 146.
    (b) Requirements for commencement of operations in a zone. The 
following actions are required before operations in a zone may commence:
    (1) The grantee shall submit the zone schedule to the Executive 
Secretary, as provided in Sec.400.44.
    (2) Approval or concurrence from the grantee and approval from CBP, 
pursuant to 19 CFR part 146, are required prior to the activation of any 
portion of an approved zone; and
    (3) Prior to activation of a zone, the operator shall obtain all 
necessary permits from federal, state and local authorities, and except 
as otherwise specified in the Act or this part, shall comply with the 
requirements of those authorities.

[[Page 78]]



Sec.400.42  Operation as public utility.

    (a) In general. Pursuant to Section 14 of the FTZ Act (19 U.S.C. 
81n), each zone shall be operated as a public utility, and all rates and 
charges for all services or privileges within the zone shall be fair and 
reasonable. A rate or charge (fee) may be imposed on zone participants 
to recover costs incurred by or on behalf of the grantee for the 
performance of the grantee function. Such a rate or charge must be 
directly related to the service provided by the grantee (for which the 
fee recovers some or all costs incurred) to the zone participants. Rates 
or charges may incorporate a reasonable return on investment. Rates or 
charges may not be tied to the level of benefits derived by zone 
participants. Other than the uniform rates and charges assessed by, or 
on behalf of, the grantee, zone participants shall not be required 
(either directly or indirectly) to utilize or pay for a particular 
provider's zone-related products or services.
    (b) Delayed compliance date. The compliance date for the 
requirements of paragraph (a) of this section shall be February 28, 
2014.



Sec.400.43  Uniform treatment.

    Pursuant to Section 14 of the FTZ Act (19 U.S.C. 81n), a grantee 
shall afford to all who may apply to make use of or participate in the 
zone uniform treatment under like conditions. Treatment of zone 
participants within a zone (including application of rates and charges) 
shall not vary depending on whether a zone participant has procured any 
zone-related product or service or engaged a particular supplier to 
provide any such product or service.
    (a) Agreements to be made in writing. Any agreement or contract 
related to one or more grantee function(s) and involving a zone 
participant (e.g., agreements with property owners and agreements with 
zone operators) must be in writing.
    (b) Evaluation of proposals. A grantee (or person undertaking a 
zone-related function(s) on behalf of a grantee, where applicable) shall 
apply uniform treatment in the evaluation of proposals from zone 
participants. Uniform treatment does not require acceptance of all 
proposals by zone participants, but the bases for a grantee's decision 
on a particular proposal must be consistent with the uniform treatment 
requirement.
    (c) Justification for differing treatment. Given the requirement for 
uniform treatment under like conditions, for any instance of different 
treatment of different zone participants, a grantee (or person 
undertaking a zone-related function(s) on behalf of a grantee, where 
applicable) must be able to provide upon request by the Executive 
Secretary a documented justification for any difference in treatment.
    (d) Avoidance of non-uniform treatment. To avoid non-uniform 
treatment of zone participants, persons (as defined in Sec.400.2(l)) 
within key categories set out in paragraph (d)(2) of this section shall 
not undertake any of the key functions set out in paragraph (d)(1) of 
this section (except in specific circumstances where the Board has 
authorized a waiver pursuant to paragraph (f) of this section).
    (1) Key functions are:
    (i) Taking action on behalf of a grantee, or making recommendations 
to a grantee, regarding the disposition of proposals or requests by zone 
participants pertaining to FTZ authority or activity (including 
activation by CBP);
    (ii) Approving, or being a party to, a zone participant's agreement 
with the grantee (or person acting on behalf of the grantee) pertaining 
to FTZ authority or activity (including activation by CBP); or
    (iii) Overseeing zone participants' operations on behalf of a 
grantee.
    (2) Key categories of persons are:
    (i) A person that currently engages in, or which has during the 
preceding twelve months engaged in, offering/providing a zone-related 
product/service to or representing a zone participant in the grantee's 
zone;
    (ii) Any person that stands to gain from a person's offer/provision 
of a zone-related product/service to or representation of a zone 
participant in the zone; or
    (iii) Any person related, as defined in paragraph (e) of this 
section, to the person identified in paragraphs (d)(2)(i) and (ii) of 
this section.

[[Page 79]]

    (e) Definition of related persons. For purposes of this section, 
persons that are related include:
    (1) Members of a family or members of a household. The term members 
of a family means spouses, parents, grandparents, children, 
grandchildren, siblings (including half-siblings and step-siblings), 
aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and first cousins, as well as the 
parents, children, and siblings of a spouse, and the spouse of a 
sibling, child or parent;
    (2) Organizations that are wholly or majority-owned by members of 
the same family or members of the same household;
    (3) An officer or director of an organization and that organization;
    (4) Partners;
    (5) Employers and their employees;
    (6) An organization and any person directly or indirectly owning, 
controlling, or holding with power to vote, 20 percent or more of the 
outstanding voting stock or shares of that organization;
    (7) Any person that controls any other person and that other person 
(the term control means the power, direct or indirect, whether or not 
exercised, through any means, to determine, direct, or decide important 
matters affecting an entity); or
    (8) Any two or more persons who directly control, are controlled by, 
or are under common control with, any person (see definition of control 
in paragraph (e)(7) of this section).
    (f) Waivers. The grantee or other person subject to paragraph (d) of 
this section may submit an application requesting that the Board issue a 
waiver exempting from the prohibition of that paragraph a person's 
undertaking a specific key function(s) listed in paragraph (d)(1) of 
this section. Using the format developed by the Executive Secretary, an 
application for a waiver shall explain in detail how the person falls 
within a key category(ies) set out in paragraph (d)(2) of this section, 
and the specific key function(s) listed in paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section that would be undertaken by the person. After receipt of an 
application requesting a waiver, the Executive Secretary may solicit 
additional information or clarification, as necessary, including from 
the person submitting the application and from the grantee. Based on the 
information presented in the application, the Executive Secretary shall 
make a recommendation to the Board. A waiver shall be authorized only by 
an affirmative vote by the Board. If the Board votes not to authorize a 
waiver or to discontinue a waiver, the applicant shall be notified in 
writing and allowed 30 days to present evidence in response. In deciding 
whether to grant a waiver, the Board shall determine whether there is an 
unacceptable risk that the waiver would result in non-uniform treatment 
being afforded by the person undertaking a key function(s) listed in 
paragraph (d)(1) of this section. In its assessment, the Board shall 
consider the specific circumstances presented, including the nature and 
extent of the person's involvement in undertaking a key function(s) 
listed in paragraph (d)(1) of this section. In general, the more 
significant the requester's involvement or interest in the undertaking 
of a key function(s) listed in paragraph (d)(1) of this section or 
activity(ies) identified in paragraph (d)(2)(i) of this section, the 
greater the risk will be that non-uniform treatment will be afforded 
and, thus, the less likely it will be that a waiver will be granted. The 
Board may attach to individual waivers such conditions or limitations 
(including, for example, the length of time a waiver is to be effective) 
as it deems necessary.
    (g) Requests for determinations. A grantee or other party may 
request a determination by the Executive Secretary regarding the 
consistency of an actual or potential arrangement with the requirements 
of this section.
    (h) Identification of person undertaking function(s) on behalf of 
grantee. The Board, the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, or the Executive Secretary, may require a 
zone grantee to identify any person undertaking a zone-related 
function(s) on behalf of the grantee.
    (i) Delayed compliance date. If, as of April 30, 2012, existing 
business arrangements do not comply with the requirements of paragraphs 
(a) and (d) of

[[Page 80]]

this section, such existing arrangements shall be terminated or brought 
into compliance no later than February 28, 2014.

    Effective Date Note: At 77 FR 12139, Feb. 28, 2012, Sec.400.43 was 
added. Paragraph (f) of this section contains information collection and 
recordkeeping requirements and will not become effective until approval 
has been given by the Office of Management and Budget.



Sec.400.44  Zone schedule.

    (a) In general. The zone grantee shall submit to the Executive 
Secretary (in both paper and electronic copies) a zone schedule which 
sets forth the elements required in this section. No element of a zone 
schedule (including any amendment to the zone schedule) may be 
considered to be in effect until such submission has occurred. If 
warranted, the Board may subsequently amend the requirements of this 
section by Board Order.
    (b) Each zone schedule shall include:
    (1) A title page, which shall include the name of the zone grantee 
and the date of the current schedule;
    (2) A table of contents;
    (3) Internal rules/regulations and policies for the zone;
    (4) All rates or charges assessed by or on behalf of the grantee;
    (5) Information regarding any operator which has an agreement with 
the grantee to offer services to the public, including the operator's 
rates or charges for all zone-specific services offered; and
    (6) An appendix with definitions of any FTZ-related terms used in 
the zone schedule (as needed).
    (c) The Executive Secretary may review the zone schedule (or any 
amendment to the zone schedule) to determine whether it contains 
sufficient information for zone participants concerning the operation of 
the zone and the grantee's rates and charges as provided in paragraphs 
(b)(3) and (b)(4) of this section. If the Executive Secretary determines 
that the zone schedule (or amendment) does not satisfy these 
requirements, the Executive Secretary shall notify the zone grantee. The 
Executive Secretary may also conduct a review under 400.45(b).
    (d) Amendments to the zone schedule shall be prepared and submitted 
in the manner described in paragraph (a) of this section, and listed in 
the concluding section of the zone schedule, with dates. No rates/
charges or other provisions required for the zone schedule may be 
applied by, or on behalf of, the grantee unless those specific rates/
charges or provisions are included in the most recent zone schedule 
submitted to the Board and made available to the public in compliance 
with paragraph (e) of this section.
    (e) Availability of zone schedule. A complete copy of the zone 
schedule shall be freely available for public inspection at the offices 
of the zone grantee and any operator offering FTZ services to the user 
community. The Board shall make copies of zone schedules available on 
its Web site.
    (f) Delayed compliance date. The compliance date for the 
requirements of this section shall be February 28, 2014.



Sec.400.45  Complaints related to public utility and uniform
treatment.

    (a) In general. A zone participant may submit to the Executive 
Secretary a complaint regarding conditions or treatment that the 
complaining party believes are inconsistent with the public utility and 
uniform treatment requirements of the FTZ Act and these regulations. 
Complaints may be made on a confidential basis, if necessary. Grantees 
(and persons undertaking zone-related functions on behalf of grantees, 
where applicable) shall not enter into or enforce provisions of 
agreements or contracts with zone participants that would require zone 
participants to disclose to other parties, including the grantee (or 
person undertaking a zone-related function(s) on behalf of a grantee, 
where applicable), any confidential communication with the Board under 
this section.
    (b) Objections to rates and charges. A zone participant showing good 
cause may object to any rate or charge related to the zone on the basis 
that it is not fair and reasonable by submitting to the Executive 
Secretary a complaint in writing with supporting information. If 
necessary, such a complaint may be made on a confidential basis pursuant 
to Sec.400.45(a). The Executive

[[Page 81]]

Secretary shall review the complaint and issue a report and decision, 
which shall be final unless appealed to the Board within 30 days. The 
Board or the Executive Secretary may otherwise initiate a review for 
cause. The primary factor considered in reviewing fairness and 
reasonableness is the cost of the specific services rendered. Where 
those costs incorporate charges to the grantee by one or more parties 
undertaking functions on behalf of the grantee, the Board may consider 
the costs incurred by those parties (using best estimates, as 
necessary). The Board will also give consideration to any extra costs 
incurred relative to non-zone operations, including return on investment 
and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.



Sec.400.46  Grantee liability.

    (a) Exemption from liability. A grant of authority, per se, shall 
not be construed to make the zone grantee liable for violations by zone 
participants. The role of the zone grantee under the FTZ Act and the 
Board's regulations is to provide general management of the zone to 
ensure that the reasonable needs of the business community are served. 
It would not be in the public interest to discourage public entities 
from zone sponsorship because of concern about liability without fault.
    (b) Exception to exemption from liability. A grantee could create 
liability for itself that otherwise would not exist if the grantee 
undertakes detailed operational oversight of or direction to zone 
participants. Examples of detailed operational oversight or direction 
include review of an operator's inventory-control or record-keeping 
systems, specifying requirements for such a system to be used by an 
operator, and review of CBP documentation related to an operator's zone 
receipts and shipments.



Sec.400.47  Retail trade.

    (a) In general. Retail trade is prohibited in activated areas of 
zones, except that 1) sales or other commercial activity involving 
domestic, duty-paid, and duty-free goods may be conducted within an 
activated area of a zone under a permit issued by the zone grantee and 
approved by the Board, and 2) no permits shall be necessary for sales 
involving domestic, duty-paid or duty-free food and non-alcoholic 
beverage products sold within the zone or subzone for consumption on 
premises by individuals working therein. The Executive Secretary shall 
determine whether an activity is retail trade, subject to review by the 
Board when the zone grantee requests such a review with a good cause. 
Determinations on whether an activity constitutes retail trade shall be 
based on precedent established through prior rulings by CBP, as 
appropriate. Such prior rulings shall remain effective unless a 
determination is issued to modify their effect (after a notice-and-
comment process, as appropriate). Determinations made by the Executive 
Secretary pursuant to this section shall be made available to the public 
via the Board's Web site.
    (b) Procedure. Requests for Board approval under this section shall 
be submitted in letter form, with supporting documentation, to the 
Executive Secretary, who is authorized to act for the Board in these 
cases, after consultation with CBP as necessary.
    (c) Criteria. In evaluating requests under this section, the 
Executive Secretary and CBP shall consider factors that may include:
    (1) Whether any public benefits would result from approval; and
    (2) The economic effect such activity would have on the retail trade 
outside the zone in the port of entry area.



Sec.400.48  Zone-restricted merchandise.

    (a) In general. Merchandise in zone-restricted status (19 CFR 
146.44) may be entered into the customs territory of the United States 
only when the Board determines that the entry would be in the public 
interest. Such entries are subject to the customs laws and the payment 
of applicable duties and excise taxes (19 U.S.C. 81c(a), 4th proviso).
    (b) Criteria. In making the determination described in paragraph (a) 
of this section, the Board shall consider:
    (1) The intent of the parties;
    (2) Why the merchandise cannot be exported;
    (3) The public benefit involved in allowing entry of the 
merchandise; and

[[Page 82]]

    (4) The recommendation of CBP.
    (c) Procedure. (1) A request for authority to enter ``zone-
restricted'' merchandise into U.S. customs territory shall be made to 
the Executive Secretary in letter form by the zone grantee or by the 
operator responsible for the merchandise (with copy to the grantee), 
with supporting information and documentation.
    (2) The Executive Secretary shall investigate the request and 
prepare a report for the Board.
    (3) The Executive Secretary may act for the Board under this section 
with respect to requests that involve merchandise valued at 500,000 
dollars or less and that are accompanied by a letter of concurrence from 
CBP.



Sec.400.49  Monitoring and reviews of zone operations and activity.

    (a) In general. Ongoing zone operation(s) and activity may be 
reviewed by the Board or the Executive Secretary at any time to 
determine whether they are in the public interest and in compliance and 
conformity with the Act and regulations, as well as authority approved 
by the Board. Reviews involving production activity may also be 
conducted to determine whether there are changed circumstances that 
raise questions as to whether the activity is detrimental to the public 
interest, taking into account the factors enumerated in Sec.400.27. 
The Board may prescribe special monitoring requirements in its decisions 
when appropriate.
    (b) Conduct of reviews. Reviews may be initiated by the Board, the 
Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance, or the Executive Secretary; or, they may be undertaken in 
response to requests from parties directly affected by the activity in 
question showing good cause based on the provision of information that 
is probative and substantial in addressing the matter in issue. After 
initiation of a review, any affected party shall provide in a timely 
manner any information requested as part of the conduct of the review. 
If a party fails to timely provide information requested as part of such 
a review, a presumption unfavorable to that party may be made.
    (c) Prohibition or restriction. Upon review, if a finding is made 
that zone activity is no longer in the public interest (taking into 
account the factors enumerated in Sec.400.27 where production activity 
is involved), the Board or the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance may prohibit or restrict the activity in 
question. Such prohibitions or restrictions may be put in place after a 
preliminary review (e.g., prior to potential steps such as a public 
comment period) if circumstances warrant such action until further 
review can be completed. The procedures of Sec.400.34(a)(5)(iv)(A) 
shall be followed to notify the grantee of the affected zone and allow 
for a response prior to the final imposition of a prohibition or 
restriction. The appropriateness of a delayed effective date shall be 
considered.



      Subpart F_Records, Reports, Notice, Hearings and Information



Sec.400.51  Records and reports.

    (a) Records and forms. Zone records and forms shall be prepared and 
maintained in accordance with the requirements of CBP and the Board, 
consistent with documents issued by the Board specific to the zone in 
question, and the zone grantee shall retain copies of applications/
requests it submits to the Board in electronic or paper format.
    (b) Maps and drawings. Zone grantees or operators, and CBP, shall 
keep current layout drawings of approved sites as described in Sec.
400.21(d)(5), showing activated portions, and a file showing required 
activation approvals. The zone grantee shall furnish necessary maps to 
CBP.
    (c) Annual reports. (1) Each zone grantee shall submit a complete 
and accurate annual report to the Board within 90 days after the end of 
the reporting period. Each zone operator shall submit a complete and 
accurate annual report to the zone grantee in a timeframe that will 
enable the grantee's timely submission of a complete and accurate annual 
report to the Board. A zone grantee may request an extension of the 
deadline for its report, as warranted. The Executive Secretary

[[Page 83]]

may authorize such extensions, with decisions on such authorizations 
taking into account both the circumstances presented and the importance 
of the Board submitting its annual report to Congress in a timely 
manner. Annual reports must be submitted in accordance with any 
instructions, guidelines, forms and related documents specifying place, 
manner and format(s) prescribed by the Executive Secretary. In the event 
that a grantee has not received all necessary annual report information 
from an operator in a timely manner, the grantee may submit its annual 
report on time and note the absence of the missing information.
    (2) The Board shall submit an annual report to Congress.



Sec.400.52  Notices and hearings.

    (a) In general. The Executive Secretary shall publish notice in the 
Federal Register inviting public comment on applications and 
notifications for Board action (see, Sec. Sec.400.32 and 400.37(b)), 
and with regard to other reviews or matters considered under this part 
when public comment is necessary. An applicant under Sec. Sec.400.21, 
400.24(b) and 400.25 shall give appropriate notice of its proposal in a 
local, general-circulation newspaper at least 15 days prior to the close 
of the public comment period for the proposal in question. The Board, 
the Secretary of Commerce, the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance, or the Executive Secretary, as 
appropriate, may schedule and/or hold hearings during any proceedings or 
reviews conducted under this part whenever necessary or appropriate.
    (b) Requests for hearings. (1) A party who may be materially 
affected by the zone activity in question and who shows good cause may 
request a hearing during a proceeding or review.
    (2) The request must be made within 30 days of the beginning of the 
period for public comment (see Sec.400.32) and must be accompanied by 
information establishing the need for the hearing and the basis for the 
requesting party's interest in the matter.
    (3) A determination as to the need for the hearing shall be made by 
the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance within 15 days after the receipt of such a request.
    (c) Procedure for public hearings. The Board shall publish notice in 
the Federal Register of the date, time and location of a public hearing. 
All participants shall have the opportunity to make a presentation. 
Applicants and their witnesses shall ordinarily appear first. The 
presiding officer may adopt time limits for individual presentations.



Sec.400.53  Official records; public access.

    (a) Content. The Executive Secretary shall maintain at the location 
stated in Sec.400.54(e) an official record of each proceeding within 
the Board's jurisdiction. The Executive Secretary shall include in the 
official record all timely evidence, factual information, and written 
argument, and other material developed by, presented to, or obtained by 
the Board in connection with the proceeding. While there is no 
requirement that a verbatim record shall be kept of public hearings, the 
proceedings of such hearings shall ordinarily be recorded and 
transcribed when significant opposition to a proposal is involved.
    (b) Opening and closing of official record. The official record 
opens on the date the Executive Secretary dockets an application or 
receives a request or notification that satisfies the applicable 
requirements of this part and closes on the date of the final 
determination in the proceeding or review, as applicable.
    (c) Protection of the official record. Unless otherwise ordered in a 
particular case by the Executive Secretary, the official record shall 
not be removed from the Department of Commerce. A certified copy of the 
record shall be made available to any court before which any aspect of a 
proceeding is under review, with appropriate safeguards to prevent 
disclosure of business proprietary or privileged information.



Sec.400.54  Information.

    (a) Request for information. The Executive Secretary, on behalf of 
the Board,

[[Page 84]]

may request submission of any information, including business 
proprietary information, and written argument necessary or appropriate 
to the proceeding.
    (b) Public information. Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this 
section, the Board shall consider all information submitted in a 
proceeding to be public information, and if the person submitting the 
information does not agree to its public disclosure, the Board shall 
return the information and not consider it in the proceeding. 
Information to meet the basic requirements of Sec. Sec.400.21-400.25 
is inherently public information to allow meaningful public evaluation 
pursuant to those sections and Sec.400.32.
    (c) Business proprietary information. Persons submitting business 
proprietary information and requesting that it be protected from public 
disclosure shall mark the cover page, as well as the top of each page on 
which such information appears, ``business proprietary.'' Any business 
proprietary document submitted for a proceeding other than pursuant to 
Sec.400.45 shall contain brackets at the beginning and end of each 
specific piece of business proprietary information contained in the 
submission. Any such business proprietary submission shall also be 
accompanied by a public version that contains all of the document's 
contents except the information bracketed in the business proprietary 
version, with the cover page and the top of each additional page marked 
``public version.'' Any information for which business proprietary 
treatment is claimed must be ranged (i.e., presented as a number or 
upper and lower limits that approximate the specific business 
proprietary figure) or summarized in the public version. If a submitting 
party maintains that certain information is not susceptible to 
summarization or ranging, the public version must provide a full 
explanation specific to each such piece of information regarding why 
summarization or ranging is not feasible.
    (d) Disclosure of information. Disclosure of public information 
shall be governed by 15 CFR part 4.
    (e) Availability of information. Public information in the official 
record shall be available at the Office of the Executive Secretary, 
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, U.S. Department of Commerce Building, 1401 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230 and may also be available 
electronically over the Internet via http://www.trade.gov/ftz (or a 
successor Internet address).



              Subpart G_Penalties and Appeals to the Board



Sec.400.61  Revocation of authority.

    (a) In general. As provided in this section, the Board can revoke in 
whole or in part authority for a zone or subzone whenever it determines 
that the zone grantee has violated, repeatedly and willfully, the 
provisions of the Act.
    (b) Procedure. When the Board has reason to believe that the 
conditions for revocation, as described in paragraph (a) of this 
section, are met, the Board shall:
    (1) Notify the grantee of the zone in question in writing stating 
the nature of the alleged violations, provide the grantee an opportunity 
to request a hearing on the proposed revocation, and notify any known 
operators in the zone;
    (2) Conduct a hearing, if requested or otherwise if appropriate;
    (3) Make a determination on the record of the proceeding not earlier 
than four months after providing notice to the zone grantee under 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section; and
    (4) If the Board's determination is affirmative, publish a notice of 
revocation of authority, in whole or in part, in the Federal Register.
    (c) As provided in section 18 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 81r(c)), the 
grantee of the zone or subzone in question may appeal an order of the 
Board revoking authority.



Sec.400.62  Fines, penalties and instructions to suspend activated 
status.

    (a) In general. Fines are authorized solely for specific violations 
of the FTZ Act or the Board's regulations as detailed in Sec. Sec.
400.62(b) and (c). Each specific violation is subject to a fine of not 
more than 1,000 dollars (as adjusted for inflation pursuant to Sec.
400.62(j)), with each day during which a violation

[[Page 85]]

continues constituting a separate offense subject to imposition of such 
a fine (FTZ Act, section 19; 19 U.S.C. 81s). This section also 
establishes the party subject to the fine which, depending on the type 
of violation, would be the zone operator, grantee, or a person 
undertaking one or more zone-related functions on behalf of the grantee, 
where applicable. In certain circumstances, the Board or the Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance could instruct CBP to suspend 
the activated status of all or part of a zone or subzone. Violations of 
the FTZ Act or the Board's regulations (including the sections 
pertaining to uniform treatment and submission of annual reports), 
failure to pay fines, or failure to comply with an order prohibiting or 
restricting activity may also result in the Executive Secretary's 
suspending the processing of any requests to the Board and staff 
relating to the zone or subzone in question. In circumstances where non-
compliance pertains to only a subset of the operations in a zone, 
suspensions of activated status and suspensions of the processing of 
requests shall be targeted to the specific non-compliant operation(s).
    (b) Violations involving requirement to submit annual report. A 
grantee's failure to submit a complete and accurate annual report 
pursuant to section 16 of the FTZ Act (19 U.S.C. 81p(b)) and Sec.
400.51(c)(1) of these regulations constitutes a violation subject to a 
fine, with each day of continued failure to submit the report 
constituting a separate offense subject to a fine of not more than 1,000 
dollars (as adjusted for inflation pursuant to Sec.400.62(j)). 
Further, each day during which a zone operator fails to submit to the 
zone's grantee the information required for the grantee's timely 
submission of a complete and accurate annual report to the Board shall 
constitute a separate offense subject to a fine of not more than 1,000 
dollars (as adjusted for inflation pursuant to Sec.400.62(j)). 
Consistent with Sec.400.46, if the grantee submits a timely report to 
the Board identifying any operator that has not provided complete and 
timely information in response to a timely request(s) by the grantee, 
the grantee shall not be subject to a fine-assessment action stemming 
from the operator's failure to timely provide its report.
    (c) Violations involving uniform treatment. Failure by a grantee or 
a person undertaking one or more zone-related functions on behalf of the 
grantee to comply with the uniform treatment requirement of section 14 
of the FTZ Act (19 U.S.C. 81n) or the provisions of Sec.400.43 of 
these regulations constitutes a violation, with each day of continued 
violation constituting a separate offense subject to a fine of not more 
than 1,000 dollars (as adjusted for inflation pursuant to Sec.
400.62(j)).
    (d) Procedures for determination of violations and imposition of 
fines. When the Board or the Executive Secretary has reason to believe 
that a violation pursuant to Sec. Sec.400.62(b) and (c) has occurred 
and that the violation warrants the imposition of a fine (such as a 
situation where a party has previously been notified of action required 
for compliance and has failed to take such action within a reasonable 
period of time), the following steps shall be taken:
    (1) The Executive Secretary shall notify the party or parties 
responsible for the violation and the zone grantee in writing stating 
the nature of the alleged violation, and provide the party(ies) a 
specified period (no less than 30 days, with consideration given to any 
requests for an extension, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) to 
respond in writing;
    (2) The Executive Secretary shall conduct a hearing, if requested or 
otherwise if appropriate. Parties may be represented by counsel at the 
hearing, and any evidence and testimony of witnesses in the proceeding 
shall be presented. A transcript of the hearing shall be produced and a 
copy shall be made available to the parties;
    (3) The Executive Secretary shall make a recommendation on the 
record of the proceeding not earlier than the later of 15 days after the 
deadline for the party(ies)'s response under paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section or 15 days after the date of a hearing held under paragraph 
(d)(2) of this section. If the recommendation is for an affirmative 
determination of a violation, the Executive Secretary shall also 
recommend the amount of the fine to be imposed; and

[[Page 86]]

    (4) The Board shall make a determination regarding the finding of a 
violation and imposition of a fine based on the Executive Secretary's 
recommendation under paragraph (d)(3) of this section. For related 
actions where the total sum of recommended fines is no more than 10,000 
dollars (50,000 dollars in the case of violations pursuant to paragraph 
(b) of this section), the Board delegates to the Executive Secretary the 
authority to make a determination.
    (e) Mitigation--(1) In general. The Commerce Department's Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance may approve the mitigation 
(reduction or elimination) of an imposed fine based on specific evidence 
presented by the affected party. Authority is delegated to the Executive 
Secretary to mitigate a fine where the total sum of fines imposed on a 
party for related actions does not exceed 10,000 dollars (50,000 dollars 
in the case of violations pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section). 
Mitigating evidence and argument pertaining to mitigating factors must 
be submitted within 30 days of the determination described in paragraph 
(d)(4) of this section, subject to requests for extension for cause, the 
granting of which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
    (2) Mitigating factors. Factors to be taken into account in 
evaluating potential mitigation include:
    (i) A good record of a violator over the preceding five years with 
regard to the type of violation(s) at issue;
    (ii) The violation was due to the action of another party despite 
violator's adherence to the requirements of the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations;
    (iii) Immediate remedial action by the violator to avoid future 
violations;
    (iv) A violator's cooperation with the Board (beyond the degree of 
cooperation expected from a person under investigation for a violation) 
in ascertaining the facts establishing the violation;
    (v) A violation's resulting from a clerical error or similar 
unintentional negligence; and
    (vi) Such other factors as the Board, or the Executive Secretary, 
deems appropriate to consider in the specific circumstances presented.
    (f) Assessment of fines. After evaluating submitted mitigating 
evidence and argument, where applicable, the Commerce Department's 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance may assess an imposed 
fine (in whole or in part). Authority is delegated to the Executive 
Secretary to assess a fine where the total sum of the imposed fines for 
related actions does not exceed 10,000 dollars (50,000 dollars in the 
case of violations pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section).
    (g) Time for payment. Full payment of an assessed fine must be made 
within 30 days of the date of the assessment or within such longer 
period of time as may be specified. Payment shall be made in the manner 
specified by the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance or the Executive Secretary.
    (h) Procedures for instruction to suspend activated status. If a 
fine assessed pursuant to Sec. Sec.400.62(d) through (g) has not been 
paid within 90 days of the specified deadline for payment, if there is a 
repeated and willful failure to comply with a requirement of the FTZ Act 
or the Board's regulations, or if there is a repeated and willful 
failure to comply with a prohibition or restriction on activity imposed 
by an order of the Board or an order of the Commerce Department's 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance pursuant to Sec.
400.49(c), the Board or the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance may instruct CBP to suspend the activated 
status of the zone operation(s) in question (or, if appropriate, the 
suspension may be limited to a particular activity of a zone operator, 
such as suspension of the privilege to admit merchandise), and the 
suspension shall remain in place until the failure to pay a fine, 
failure to comply with a requirement of the FTZ Act or the Board's 
regulations, or failure to comply with an order's prohibition or 
restriction on activity has been remedied. In determining whether to 
instruct CBP to suspend the activated status of a zone operation in the 
circumstances noted, the following steps shall be taken:
    (1) Notification of party(ies). The Executive Secretary shall notify 
the responsible party(ies) in writing stating the

[[Page 87]]

nature of the failure to timely pay a fine, to comply with a requirement 
of the FTZ Act or the Board's regulations or to comply with a 
prohibition or restriction on activity imposed by an order of the Board 
or an order of the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance. If the grantee is not one of the responsible 
parties notified, the Executive Secretary shall also provide a copy of 
the notification to the grantee. The responsible party(ies) shall be 
provided a specified period (of not less than 15 days) to respond in 
writing to the notification;
    (2) Hearing. If the notified responsible party(ies) or the zone's 
grantee requests a hearing (or if a hearing is determined to be 
warranted by the Board, the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary 
for Enforcement and Compliance or the Executive Secretary), it shall be 
held before the Executive Secretary (or a member of the Board staff 
designated by the Executive Secretary) within 30 days following the 
request for a hearing (or the determination by the Board, the Commerce 
Department's Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance or the 
Executive Secretary). Parties may be represented by counsel at the 
hearing, and any evidence and testimony of witnesses in the proceeding 
shall be presented. A transcript of the hearing shall be produced and a 
copy shall be made available to the parties;
    (3) The Executive Secretary shall make a recommendation on the 
record of the proceeding not earlier than 15 days after the later of:
    (i) The deadline for the party(ies)'s response under paragraph 
(h)(1) of this section; or
    (ii) The date of a hearing held under paragraph (h)(2) of this 
section; and
    (4) The Board or the Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance shall determine whether to instruct CBP to 
suspend the activated status of the zone operation(s) in question. If 
the determination is affirmative, the Executive Secretary shall convey 
the instruction to CBP, with due consideration to allow for the transfer 
of any affected merchandise from the applicable zone site(s).
    (i) Enforcement of assessment. Upon any failure to pay an assessed 
fine, the Board may request the U.S. Department of Justice to recover 
the amount assessed in any appropriate district court of the United 
States or may commence any other lawful action.
    (j) Adjustment for inflation. The maximum dollar value of a fine for 
a violation of the FTZ Act or the Board's regulations is subject to 
adjustment for inflation pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties 
Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-410), as amended by the 
Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-134).



Sec.400.63  Appeals to the Board of decisions of the Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance and the Executive Secretary.

    (a) In general. Decisions of the Commerce Department's Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance and the Executive Secretary 
made pursuant to this part may be appealed to the Board by adversely 
affected parties showing good cause.
    (b) Procedures. Parties appealing a decision under paragraph (a) of 
this section shall submit a request for review to the Board in writing, 
stating the basis for the request, and attaching a copy of the decision 
in question, as well as supporting information and documentation. After 
a review, the Board shall notify the appealing party of its decision in 
writing.

                            Subpart A_Purpose



Sec.700.1  Purpose of this part.

    This part implements the Defense Priorities and Allocations System 
(DPAS) that is administered by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of 
Industry and Security. The DPAS implements the priorities and 
allocations authority of the Defense Production Act, including use of 
that authority to support emergency preparedness activities pursuant to 
Title VI of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5195 et seq.), and the priorities authority of 
the Selective Service Act and related statutes, all with respect to 
industrial resources. The DPAS establishes procedures for the placement, 
acceptance, and performance of priority rated contracts and orders and 
for the allocation of materials, services, and facilities. The guidance 
and procedures in this part are generally consistent with the guidance 
and procedures provided in other regulations issued under Executive 
Order 13603 authority.

[79 FR 47563, Aug. 14, 2014]



                           Subpart B_Overview



Sec.700.2  Introduction.

    (a) Certain national defense and energy programs (including 
military, emergency preparedness, homeland security, and critical 
infrastructure protection and restoration activities) are approved for 
priorities and allocations support. A complete list of currently 
approved programs is provided at schedule I to this part.
    (b) The Department of Commerce administers the DPAS and may exercise 
priorities and allocations authority to ensure the timely delivery of 
industrial items to meet approved program requirements.
    (c) The Department of Commerce has delegated authority to place 
priority ratings on contracts or orders necessary or appropriate to 
promote the national defense to certain government agencies that issue 
such contracts or orders. Such delegations include authority to 
authorize recipients of rated orders to place ratings on contracts or 
orders to contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. Schedule I to this 
part includes a list of agencies to which the Department of Commerce has 
delegated authority.

[79 FR 47563, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.3  Priority ratings and rated orders.

    (a) Rated orders are identified by a priority rating and a program 
identification symbol. Rated orders take precedence over all unrated 
orders as necessary to meet required delivery dates. Among rated orders, 
DX rated orders take precedence over DO rated orders. Program 
identification symbols indicate which approved program is attributed to 
the rated order.
    (b) Persons receiving rated orders must give them preferential 
treatment as required by this part.
    (c) All rated orders must be scheduled to the extent possible to 
ensure delivery by the required delivery date.
    (d) Persons who receive rated orders must in turn place rated orders 
with their suppliers for the items they need to fill the orders. This 
provision ensures that suppliers will give priority treatment to rated 
orders from contractor to subcontractor to suppliers throughout the 
procurement chain.
    (e) Persons may place a priority rating on orders only when they are 
in receipt of a rated order, have been explicitly authorized to do so by 
the Department of Commerce or a Delegate Agency, or are otherwise 
permitted to do so by this part.

                     Subpart D_Industrial Priorities



Sec.700.10  Authority.

    (a) Delegations to the Department of Commerce. The priorities and 
allocations authorities of the President under Title I of the Defense 
Production Act with respect to industrial resources have been delegated 
to the Secretary of Commerce under Executive Order 13603 of March 16, 
2012 (3 CFR, 2012 Comp., p. 225). The priorities authorities of the 
President under the Selective Service Act and related statutes with 
respect to industrial resources have also been delegated to the 
Secretary of Commerce under Executive Order 12742 of January 8, 1991 (3 
CFR, 1991 Comp. 309).
    (b) Delegations by the Department of Commerce. The Department of 
Commerce has authorized the Delegate Agencies to assign priority ratings 
to orders for industrial resources needed for use in approved programs.
    (c) Jurisdiction limitations. (1) The priorities and allocations 
authority for certain items have been delegated under Executive Order 
13603, other executive orders, or Interagency Memoranda of Understanding 
between other agencies. Unless otherwise agreed to by the concerned 
agencies, the provisions of this part are not applicable to those other 
items which include:
    (i) Food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, 
veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic 
distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer (delegated to 
the Department of Agriculture);
    (ii) All forms of energy (delegated to the Department of Energy);
    (iii) Health resources (delegated to the Department of Health and 
Human Services);
    (iv) All forms of civil transportation (delegated to the Department 
of Transportation); and
    (v) Water resources (delegated to the Department of Defense/U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers).
    (2) The priorities and allocations authority set forth in this part 
may not be applied to communications services subject to Executive Order 
13618 of July 6, 2012--Assignment of National Security and Emergency 
Preparedness Communications Functions (3 CFR, 2012 Comp., p. 273).

[79 FR 47565, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.11  Priority ratings.

    (a) Levels of priority. (1) There are two levels of priority 
established by this regulation, identified by the rating symbols ``DO'' 
and ``DX''.
    (2) All DO rated orders have equal priority with each other and take 
preference over unrated orders. All DX rated orders have equal priority 
with each other and take preference over DO rated orders and unrated 
orders. (For resolution of conflicts among rated orders of equal 
priority, see Sec.700.14(c).)
    (3) In addition, a Directive issued by Commerce takes preference 
over any DX rated order, DO rated order, or unrated order, as stipulated 
in the Directive. (For a full discussion of Directives, see Sec.
700.62.)
    (b) Program identification symbols. Program identification symbols 
indicate which approved program is being supported by a rated order. The 
list of approved programs and their identification symbols is found in 
schedule I to this part. For example, A1 identifies defense aircraft 
programs and A7 signifies defense electronic programs. Program 
identification symbols, in themselves, do not connote any priority.
    (c) Priority ratings. A priority rating consists of the rating 
symbol--DO and DX--and the program identification symbol, such as A1, 
C2, or N1. Thus, a contract for the production of an aircraft will 
contain a DO-A1 or DX-A1 priority rating. A contract for a radar set 
will contain a DO-A7 or DX-A7 priority rating.

[49 FR 30414, July 30, 1984. Redesignated at 54 FR 601, Jan. 9, 1989, as 
amended at 63 FR 31922, June 11, 1998; 71 FR 39528, July 13, 2006; 79 FR 
47565, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.12  Elements of a rated order.

    (a) Elements required for all rated orders. (1) The appropriate 
priority rating and program identification symbol (e.g., DO-A1, DX-A4, 
DO-N1).
    (2) A required delivery date or dates. The words ``immediately'' or 
``as soon

[[Page 96]]

as possible'' do not constitute a delivery date. When a ``requirements 
contract,'' ``basic ordering agreement,'' ``prime vendor contract,'' or 
similar procurement document bearing a priority rating contains no 
specific delivery date or dates, but provides for the furnishing of 
items from time-to-time or within a stated period against specific 
purchase orders, such as ``calls,'' ``requisitions,'' and ``delivery 
orders,'' the purchase orders supporting such contracts or agreements 
must specify a required delivery date or dates and are to be considered 
as rated as of the date of their receipt by the supplier and not as of 
the date of the original procurement document.
    (3) The written signature on a manually placed order, or the digital 
signature or name on an electronically placed order, of an individual 
authorized to sign rated orders for the person placing the order. The 
signature, manual or digital, certifies that the rated order is 
authorized under this part and that the requirements of this part are 
being followed.
    (4) A statement that reads in substance: ``This is a rated order 
certified for national defense use and you are required to follow all 
the provisions of the Defense Priorities and Allocations System 
regulations (15 CFR part 700).''
    (b) Additional element required for certain emergency preparedness 
rated orders. If a rated order is placed for the purpose of emergency 
preparedness requirements and expedited action is necessary or 
appropriate to meet these requirements, the following statement must be 
included in the order: ``This rated order is placed for the purpose of 
emergency preparedness. It must be accepted or rejected within [Insert a 
time limit no less than the minimum applicable time limit specified in 
Sec.700.13(d)(2)].''

[79 FR 47565, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.13  Acceptance and rejection of rated orders.

    (a) Mandatory acceptance. (1) Except as otherwise specified in this 
section, a person shall accept every rated order received and must fill 
such orders regardless of any other rated or unrated orders that have 
been accepted.
    (2) A person shall not discriminate against rated orders in any 
manner such as by charging higher prices or by imposing different terms 
and conditions than for comparable unrated orders.
    (b) Mandatory rejection. Unless otherwise directed by Commerce:
    (1) A person shall not accept a rated order for delivery on a 
specific date if unable to fill the order by that date. However, the 
person must inform the customer of the earliest date on which delivery 
can be made and offer to accept the order on the basis of that date. 
Scheduling conflicts with previously accepted lower rated or unrated 
orders are not sufficient reason for rejection under this section.
    (2) A person shall not accept a DO rated order for delivery on a 
date which would interfere with delivery of any previously accepted DO 
or DX rated orders. However, the person must offer to accept the order 
based on the earliest delivery date otherwise possible.
    (3) A person shall not accept a DX rated order for delivery on a 
date which would interfere with delivery of any previously accepted DX 
rated orders, but must offer to accept the order based on the earliest 
delivery date otherwise possible.
    (4) If a person is unable to fill all the rated orders of equal 
priority status received on the same day, the person must accept, based 
upon the earliest delivery dates, only those orders which can be filled, 
and reject the other orders. For example, a person must accept order A 
requiring delivery on December 15 before accepting order B requiring 
delivery on December 31. However, the person must offer to accept the 
rejected orders based on the earliest delivery dates otherwise possible.
    (c) Optional rejection. Unless otherwise directed by Commerce, rated 
orders may be rejected in any of the following cases as long as a 
supplier does not discriminate among customers:
    (1) If the person placing the order is unwilling or unable to meet 
regularly established terms of sale or payment;
    (2) If the order is for an item not supplied or for a service not 
performed;
    (3) If the order is for an item produced, acquired, or provided only 
for

[[Page 97]]

the supplier's own use for which no orders have been filled for two 
years prior to the date of receipt of the rated order. If, however, a 
supplier has sold some of these items, the supplier is obligated to 
accept rated orders up to that quantity or portion of production, 
whichever is greater, sold within the past two years;
    (4) If the person placing the rated order, other than the U.S. 
Government, makes the item or performs the service being ordered;
    (5) If acceptance of a rated order or performance against a rated 
order would violate any other regulation, official action, or order of 
the Department of Commerce issued under the authority of the Defense 
Production Act or the Selective Service Act and related statutes [See 
Sec.700.75].
    (d) Customer notification requirements. (1) Except as provided in 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section, a person must accept or reject a rated 
order in writing (hard copy), or in electronic format, within fifteen 
(15) working days after receipt of a DO rated order and within ten (10) 
working days after receipt of a DX rated order. If the order is 
rejected, the person must give reasons in writing or electronically for 
the rejection.
    (2) If a rated order is placed for the purpose of emergency 
preparedness requirements and expedited action is necessary or 
appropriate to meet these requirements and the order includes the 
statement set forth in Sec.700.12(b), a person must accept or reject 
the rated order and transmit the acceptance or rejection in writing or 
in an electronic format within the time specified in the rated order. 
The minimum times for acceptance or rejection that such orders may 
specify are six (6) hours after receipt of the order if the order is 
issued by an authorized person in response to a hazard that has 
occurred, or twelve (12) hours after receipt if the order is issued by 
an authorized person to prepare for an imminent hazard.
    (3) If a person has accepted a rated order and subsequently finds 
that shipment or performance will be delayed, the person must notify the 
customer immediately, give the reasons for the delay, and advise of a 
new shipment or performance date. If notification is given verbally, 
written (hard copy) or electronic confirmation must be provided within 
one working day of the verbal notice.

[49 FR 30414, July 30, 1984. Redesignated at 54 FR 601, Jan. 9, 1989, as 
amended at 63 FR 31922, June 11, 1998; 70 FR 10864, Mar. 7, 2005; 79 FR 
47565, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.14  Preferential scheduling.

    (a) A person must schedule operations, including the acquisition of 
all needed production items, in a timely manner to satisfy the delivery 
requirements of each rated order. Modifying production or delivery 
schedules is necessary only when required delivery dates for rated 
orders cannot otherwise be met.
    (b) DO rated orders must be given production preference over unrated 
orders, if necessary to meet required delivery dates, even if this 
requires the diversion of items being processed or ready for delivery 
against unrated orders. Similarly, DX rated orders must be given 
preference over DO rated orders and unrated orders.

    Examples: If a person receives a DO rated order with a delivery date 
of June 3 and if meeting that date would mean delaying production or 
delivery of an item for an unrated order, the unrated order must be 
delayed. If a DX rated order is received calling for delivery on July 15 
and a person has a DO rated order requiring delivery on June 2 and 
operations can be scheduled to meet both deliveries, there is no need to 
alter production schedules to give any additional preference to the DX 
rated order. However, if business operations cannot be altered to meet 
both the June 3 and July 15 delivery dates, then the DX rated order must 
be given priority over the DO rated order.

    (c) Conflicting rated orders. (1) If a person finds that delivery or 
performance against any accepted rated orders conflicts with the 
delivery or performance against other accepted rated orders of equal 
priority status, the person shall give preference to the conflicting 
orders in the sequence in which they are to be delivered or performed 
(not to the receipt dates). If the conflicting rated orders are 
scheduled to be delivered or performed on the same day, the person shall 
give preference to those orders which have the earliest receipt dates.
    (2) If a person is unable to resolve rated order delivery or 
performance conflicts under this section, the person

[[Page 98]]

should promptly seek special priorities assistance as provided in 
subpart H of this part. If the person's customer objects to the 
rescheduling of delivery or performance of a rated order, the customer 
should promptly seek special priorities assistance as provided in 
subpart H of this part. For any rated order against which delivery or 
performance will be delayed, the person must notify the customer as 
provided in Sec.700.13(d)(3).
    (d) If a person is unable to purchase needed production items in 
time to fill a rated order by its required delivery date, the person 
must fill the rated order by using inventoried production items. A 
person who uses inventoried items to fill a rated order may replace 
those items with the use of a rated order as provided in Sec.
700.17(b).

[49 FR 30414, July 30, 1984. Redesignated at 54 FR 601, Jan. 9, 1989, as 
amended at 63 FR 31922, June 11, 1998; 79 FR 47566, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.15  Extension of priority ratings.

    (a) A person must use rated orders with suppliers to obtain items 
needed to fill a rated order. The person must use the priority rating 
indicated on the customer's rated order, except as otherwise provided in 
this part or as directed by the Department of Commerce.

    Example: If a person is in receipt of a DO-A3 rated order for a 
navigation system and needs to purchase semiconductors for its 
manufacture, that person must use a DO-A3 rated order to obtain the 
needed semiconductors.

    (b) The priority rating must be included on each successive order 
placed to obtain items needed to fill a customer's rated order. 
Therefore, the inclusion of the rating will continue from contractor to 
subcontractor to supplier throughout the entire supply chain.
    (c) A person must use rated orders with suppliers to obtain items 
needed to fill an emergency preparedness rated order. That person must 
require acceptance or rejection, and transmission of that acceptance or 
rejection by the supplier within the time limit stated in the rated 
order that is being filled.

[49 FR 30414, July 30, 1984. Redesignated at 54 FR 601, Jan. 9, 1989, as 
amended at 79 FR 47566, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.16  Changes or cancellations of priority ratings and rated orders.

    (a) The priority rating on a rated order may be changed or cancelled 
by:
    (1) An official action of the Department of Commerce; or
    (2) Written notification from the person who placed the rated order 
(including a Delegate Agency).
    (b) If an unrated order is amended so as to make it a rated order, 
or a DO, rating is changed to a DX rating, the supplier must give the 
appropriate preferential treatment to the order as of the date the 
change is received by the supplier.
    (c) An amendment to a rated order that significantly alters a 
supplier's original production or delivery schedule shall constitute a 
new rated order as of the date of its receipt. The supplier must accept 
or reject the amended order according to the provisions of Sec.700.13.
    (d) The following amendments do not constitute a new rated order: a 
change in shipping destination; a reduction in the total amount of the 
order; an increase in the total amount of the order which has negligible 
impact upon deliveries; a minor variation in size or design (prior to 
the start of production); or a change which is agreed upon between the 
supplier and the customer.
    (e) A person must cancel any rated orders that the person (or a 
predecessor in interest) has placed with suppliers or cancel the 
priority ratings on those orders if the person no longer needs the items 
in those orders to fill a rated order.
    (f) A person adding a rating to an unrated order, or changing or 
cancelling a priority rating must promptly notify all suppliers to whom 
the order was sent of the addition, change or cancellation.

[49 FR 30414, July 30, 1984. Redesignated at 54 FR 601, Jan. 9, 1989, as 
amended at 79 FR 47566, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.17  Use of rated orders.

    (a) A person must use rated orders to obtain:
    (1) Items which will be physically incorporated into other items to 
fill rated orders, including that portion of

[[Page 99]]

such items normally consumed, or converted into scrap or by-products, in 
the course of processing;
    (2) Containers or other packaging materials required to make 
delivery of the finished items against rated orders;
    (3) Services, other than contracts of employment, needed to fill 
rated orders; and
    (4) MRO needed to produce the finished items to fill rated orders. 
However, for MRO, the priority rating used must contain the program 
identification symbol H7 along with the rating symbol contained on the 
customer's rated order. For example, a person in receipt of a DO-A3 
rated order, who needs MRO, would place a DO-H7 rated order with the 
person's supplier.
    (b) A person may use a rated order to replace inventoried items 
(including finished items) if such items were used to fill rated orders, 
as follows:
    (1) The order must be placed within 90 days of the date of use of 
the inventory.
    (2) A DO rating symbol and the program identification symbol 
indicated on the customer's rated order must be used on the order. A DX 
rating symbol may not be used even if the inventory was used to fill a 
DX rated order.
    (3) If the priority ratings on rated orders from one customer or 
several customers contain different program identification symbols, the 
rated orders may be combined. In this case, the program identification 
symbol H1 must be used (i.e., DO-H1).
    (c) A person may combine DX and DO rated orders from one customer or 
several customers if the items covered by each level of priority are 
identified separately and clearly. If different program identification 
symbols are indicated on those rated orders of equal priority, the 
person must use the program identification symbol H1 (i.e., DO-H1 or DX-
H1).
    (d) Combining rated and unrated orders. (1) A person may combine 
rated and unrated order quantities on one purchase order provided that:
    (i) The rated quantities are separately and clearly identified; and
    (ii) The elements of a rated order, as required by Sec.700.12, are 
included on the order with the statement required in Sec.700.12(a)(4) 
modified to read in substance: ``This purchase order contains rated 
order quantities certified for national defense use, and you are 
required to follow all the provisions of the Defense Priorities and 
Allocations System regulations (15 CFR part 700) as it pertains to the 
rated quantities.''
    (2) A supplier must accept or reject the rated portion of the 
purchase order as provided in Sec.700.13 and give preferential 
treatment only to the rated quantities as required by this part. This 
part may not be used to give preferential treatment to the unrated 
portion of the order.
    (3) Any supplier who believes that rated and unrated orders are 
being combined in a manner contrary to the intent of this regulation or 
in a fashion that causes undue or exceptional hardship may submit a 
request for adjustment or exception under Sec.700.80.
    (e) A person may place a rated order for the minimum commercially 
procurable quantity even if the quantity needed to fill a rated order is 
less than that minimum. However, a person must combine rated orders as 
provided in paragraph (c) of this section, if possible, to obtain 
minimum procurable quantities.
    (f) A person is not required to place a priority rating on an order 
for less than $75,000, or one half of the Simplified Acquisition 
Threshold (as established in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)) 
(see FAR section 2.101), whichever amount is greater, provided that 
delivery can be obtained in a timely fashion without the use of the 
priority rating.

Sec.700.18  Limitations on placing rated orders.

    (a) General limitations. (1) A person may not place a rated order 
pursuant to this part unless the person is in receipt of a rated order, 
has been explicitly authorized to do so by the Department of Commerce or 
a Delegate Agency or is otherwise permitted to do so by this part.
    (2) Rated orders may not be used to obtain:
    (i) Delivery on a date earlier than needed;

[[Page 100]]

    (ii) A greater quantity of the item than needed, except to obtain a 
minimum procurable quantity;
    (iii) Items in advance of the receipt of a rated order, except as 
specifically authorized by the Department of Commerce (see Sec.
700.41(c) for information on obtaining authorization for a priority 
rating in advance of a rated order); or
    (iv) Any of the following items unless specific priority rating 
authority has been obtained from a Delegate Agency or the Department of 
Commerce:
    (A) Items for plant improvement, expansion or construction, unless 
they will be physically incorporated into a construction project covered 
by a rated order; or
    (B) Production or construction equipment or items to be used for the 
manufacture of production equipment (for information on requesting 
priority rating authority, see Sec.700.41).
    (v) Any items related to the development of chemical or biological 
warfare capabilities or the production of chemical or biological 
weapons, unless such development or production has been authorized by 
the President or the Secretary of Defense.
    (3) Separate rated orders may not be placed solely for obtaining 
minimum procurable quantities on each order if the minimum procurable 
quantity would be sufficient to cover more than one rated order.
    (b) Specific item limitations. Notwithstanding any authorization or 
requirement to place a rated order stated elsewhere in this part, no 
person may place a rated order to obtain the following items unless such 
order is authorized by an official action of the Department of Commerce.
    (1) Copper raw materials.
    (2) Crushed stone.
    (3) Gravel.
    (4) Sand.
    (5) Scrap.
    (6) Slag.
    (7) Steam heat, central.

           Subpart E_Industrial Priorities for Energy Programs



Sec.700.20  Use of priority ratings.

    (a) Section 101(c) of the Defense Production Act authorizes the use 
of priority ratings for projects which maximize domestic energy 
supplies.
    (b) Projects which maximize domestic energy supplies include those 
which maintain or further domestic energy exploration, production, 
refining, and transportation; maintain or further the conservation of 
energy; or are involved in the construction or maintenance of energy 
facilities.



Sec.700.21  Application for priority rating authority.

    (a) For projects believed to maximize domestic energy supplies, a 
person may request priority rating authority for scarce, critical, and 
essential supplies of materials, equipment, and services (related to the 
production of materials or equipment, or the installation, repair, or 
maintenance of equipment) by submitting a request to the Department of 
Energy. Further information may be obtained from the Department of 
Energy, Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, 1000 
Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585.
    (b) If the Department of Energy notifies the Department of Commerce 
that the project maximizes domestic energy supplies and that the 
materials, equipment, or services are critical and essential, the 
Department of Commerce will determine whether the items in question are 
scarce, and, if they are scarce, whether there is a need to use the 
priorities authority.
    (1) Scarcity implies an unusual difficulty in obtaining the 
materials, equipment, or services in a time frame consistent with the 
timely completion of the energy project. In determining scarcity, the 
Department of Commerce may consider factors such as the following:
    (i) Value and volume of material or equipment shipments;
    (ii) Consumption of material and equipment;
    (iii) Volume and market trends of imports and exports;

[[Page 101]]

    (iv) Domestic and foreign sources of supply;
    (v) Normal levels of inventories;
    (vi) Rates of capacity utilization;

satisfied. If the findings are satisfied, the Department of Commerce 
will authorize the Department of Energy to grant the use of a priority 
rating to the applicant.
    (d) Schedule I to this part includes a list of approved programs to

    Source: 63 FR 31923, June 11, 1998, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.700.30  Policy.

    (a) Allocation orders will:
    (1) Be used only when there is insufficient supply of a material, 
service, or facility to satisfy national defense requirements through 
the use of the priorities authority or when the use of the priorities 
authority would cause a severe and prolonged disruption in the supply of 
materials, services, or facilities available to support normal U.S. 
economic activities; and
    (2) Not be used to ration materials or services at the retail level.
    (b) Allocation orders, when used, will be distributed equitably 
among the suppliers of the materials, services, or facilities being 
allocated and not require any person to relinquish a disproportionate 
share of the civilian market.

[79 FR 47567, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.31  General procedures.

    Before the Department of Commerce uses its allocations authority to 
address a supply problem within its resource jurisdiction, it will 
develop a plan that includes:
    (a) A copy of the written determination made in accordance with 
section 202 of Executive Order 13603, that the program or programs that 
would be supported by the allocation action are necessary or appropriate 
to promote the national defense;
    (b) A detailed description of the situation to include any unusual 
events or circumstances that have created the requirement for an 
allocation action;
    (c) A statement of the specific objective(s) of the allocation 
action;
    (d) A list of the materials, services, or facilities to be 
allocated;
    (e) A list or description of the sources of the materials, services, 
or facilities that will be subject to the allocation action;
    (f) A detailed description of the provisions that will be included 
in the allocations orders, including the type(s) of allocations orders,

allocation action (e.g., anticipated start and end dates);
    (g) An evaluation of the impact of the proposed allocation action on 
the civilian market; and
    (h) Proposed actions, if any, to mitigate disruptions to civilian 
market operations.

[79 FR 47567, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.32  Controlling the general distribution of a material in 
the civilian market.

    No allocation action by the Department of Commerce may be used to 
control the general distribution of a material in the civilian market 
unless the conditions of paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section 
are met.
    (a) The Secretary has made a written finding that:
    (1) Such material is a scarce and critical material essential to the 
national defense, and

[[Page 102]]

    (2) The requirements of the national defense for such material 
cannot otherwise be met without creating a significant dislocation of 
the normal distribution of such material in the civilian market to such 
a degree as to create appreciable hardship.
    (b) The Secretary has submitted the finding for the President's 
approval through the Assistant to the President and National Security 
Advisor and the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and 
Counterterrorism.
    (c) The President has approved the finding.

communicating allocation actions.
    (a) Set-aside. A set-aside is an official action that requires a 
person to reserve materials, services, or facilities capacity in 
anticipation of the receipt of rated orders.
    (b) Directive. A directive is an official action that requires a 
person to take or refrain from taking certain actions in accordance with 
its provisions. For example, a directive can require a person to: stop 
or reduce production of an item; prohibit the use of selected materials, 
services, or facilities; or divert the use of materials, services, or 
facilities from one purpose to another.
    (c) Allotment. An allotment is an official action that specifies the 
maximum quantity of a material, service, or facility authorized for a 
specific use to promote the national defense.

[79 FR 47567, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.35  Mandatory acceptance of an allocation order.

    (a) Except as otherwise specified in this section, a person shall 
accept and comply with every allocation order received.
    (b) A person shall not discriminate against an allocation order in 
any manner such as by charging higher prices for materials, services, or 
facilities covered by the order or by imposing terms and conditions for 
contracts and orders involving allocated materials, services, or 
facilities that differ from the person's terms and conditions for 
contracts and orders for the materials, services, or facilities prior to 
receiving the allocation order.

[[Page 103]]

    (c) If a person is unable to comply fully with the required 
action(s) specified in an allocation order, the person must notify the 
Office of Strategic Industries and Economic Security immediately, 
explain the extent to which compliance is possible, and give the reasons 
why full compliance is not possible. If notification is given verbally, 
written or electronic confirmation must be provided within one working 
day. Such notification does not release the person from complying with 
the order to the fullest extent possible, until the person is notified 
by the Department of Commerce that the order has been changed or 
cancelled.

[79 FR 47567, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.36  Changes or cancellations of allocation orders.

Subpart G [Reserved]



                 Subpart H_Special Priorities Assistance



Sec.700.50  General provisions.

    (a) Once a priority rating has been authorized pursuant to this 
part, further action by the Department of Commerce generally is not 
needed. However, it is anticipated that from time-to-time problems will 
occur. In this event, a person should immediately contact the 
appropriate contract administration officer for guidance or assistance. 
If additional formal aid is needed, special priorities assistance should 
be sought from the Delegate Agency through the contract administration 
officer. If the Delegate Agency is unable to resolve the problem or to 
authorize the use of a priority rating and believes additional 
assistance is warranted, the Delegate Agency may forward the request to 
the Department of Commerce for action. Special priorities assistance is 
a service provided to alleviate problems that do arise.
    (b) Special priorities assistance can be provided for any reason 
consistent with this part, such as assisting in obtaining timely 
deliveries of items needed to satisfy rated orders or authorizing the 
use of priority ratings on orders to obtain items not otherwise ratable 
under this part. If the Department of Commerce is unable to resolve the 
problem or to authorize the use of a priority rating and believes 
additional assistance is warranted, the Department of Commerce may 
forward the request to another agency, identified in Sec.700.10(c), as 
appropriate, for action.
    (c) A request for special priorities assistance or priority rating 
authority must be submitted on Form BIS-999 (OMB control number 0694-
0057) to the local contract administration representative. Form BIS-999 
may be obtained from the Delegate Agency representative or from the 
Department of Commerce. A sample Form BIS-999 is attached at appendix I.

47568, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.51  Requests for priority rating authority.

    (a) If a rated order is likely to be delayed because a person is 
unable to obtain items not normally rated under this part, the person 
may request the authority to use a priority rating in ordering the 
needed items. Examples of items for which priority ratings can be 
authorized include:
    (1) Production or construction equipment;
    (2) Computers when not used as production items; and
    (3) Expansion, rebuilding or replacing plant facilities.
    (b) Rating authority for production or construction equipment. (1) A 
request for priority rating authority for production or construction 
equipment must be submitted to the appropriate Delegate Agency. The 
Delegate Agency may establish particular forms to be used for these 
requests (e.g., Department of Defense Form DD 691.)
    (2) When the use of a priority rating is authorized for the 
procurement of

[[Page 104]]

production or construction equipment, a rated order may be used either 
to purchase or to lease such equipment. However, in the latter case, the 
equipment may be leased only from a person engaged in the business of 
leasing such equipment or from a person willing to lease rather than 
sell.
    (c) Rating authority in advance of a rated prime contract. (1) In 
certain cases and upon specific request, the Department of Commerce, in 
order to promote the national defense, may authorize a person to place a 
priority rating on an order to a supplier in advance of the issuance of 
a rated prime contract. In these instances, the person requesting 
advance rating authority must obtain sponsorship of the request from the 
appropriate Delegate Agency. The person shall also assume any business 
risk associated with the placing of rated orders if these orders have to 
be cancelled in the event the rated prime contract is not issued.
    (2) The person must state the following in the request:

    It is understood that the authorization of a priority rating in 
advance of our receiving a rated prime contract from a Delegate Agency 
and our use of that priority rating with our suppliers in no way commits 
the Delegate Agency, the Department of Commerce or any other government 
agency to enter into a contract or order or to expend funds. Further, we 
understand that the Federal Government shall not be liable for any 
cancellation charges, termination costs, or other damages that may 
accrue if a rated prime contract is not eventually placed and, as a 
result, we must subsequently cancel orders placed with the use of the 
priority rating authorized as a result of this request.

    (3) In reviewing requests for rating authority in advance of a rated 
prime contract, the Department of Commerce will consider, among other 
things, the following criteria:
    (i) The probability that the prime contract will be awarded;
    (ii) The impact of the resulting rated orders on suppliers and on 
other authorized programs;
    (iii) Whether the contractor is the sole source;
    (iv) Whether the item being produced has a long lead time; and
    (v) The time period for which the rating is being requested.
    (4) Commerce may require periodic reports on the use of the rating 
authority granted under paragraph (c) of this section.
    (5) If a rated prime contract is not issued, the person shall 
promptly notify all suppliers who have received rated orders pursuant to 
the advanced rating authority that the priority rating on those orders 
is cancelled.

amended at 79 FR 47568, Aug. 14, 2014]



Sec.700.52  Examples of assistance.

    (a) While special priorities assistance may be provided for any 
reason in support of this regulation, it is usually provided in 
situations where:
    (1) A person is experiencing difficulty in obtaining delivery 
against a rated order by the required delivery date; or
    (2) A person cannot locate a supplier for an item needed to fill a 
rated order.
    (b) Other examples of special priorities assistance include:
    (1) Ensuring that rated orders receive preferential treatment by 
suppliers;
    (2) Resolving production or delivery conflicts between various rated 
orders;
    (3) Assisting in placing rated orders with suppliers;
    (4) Verifying the urgency of rated orders; and
    (5) Determining the validity of rated orders.



Sec.700.53  Criteria for assistance.

    Requests for special priorities assistance should be timely, i.e., 
the request has been submitted promptly and enough time exists for the 
Delegate Agency or the Department of Commerce to effect a meaningful 
resolution to the problem, and must establish that:
    (a) There is an urgent need for the item; and
    (b) The applicant has made a reasonable effort to resolve the 
problem.

Sec.700.54  Instances where assistance will not be provided.

    Special priorities assistance is provided at the discretion of the 
Delegate

[[Page 105]]

Agencies and the Department of Commerce when it is determined that such 
assistance is warranted to meet the objectives of this regulation. 
Examples where assistance may not be provided include situations when a 
person is attempting to:
    (a) Secure a price advantage;
    (b) Obtain delivery prior to the time required to fill a rated 
order;
    (c) Gain competitive advantage;
    (d) Disrupt an industry apportionment program in a manner designed 
to provide a person with an unwarranted share of scarce items; or
    (e) Overcome a supplier's regularly established terms of sale or 
conditions of doing business.

person to appear as a witness before an official designated by the 
Department of Commerce to testify under oath on matters of which that 
person has knowledge relating to the enforcement or the administration 
of the Defense Production Act, the Selective Service Act and related 
statutes, or this part. An administrative subpoena may also require the 
production of books, papers, records, documents and physical objects or 
property.
    (2) Demand for information. A demand for information requires a 
person to furnish to a duly authorized representative of the Department 
of Commerce any information necessary or appropriate to the enforcement 
or the administration of the Defense Production Act, the Selective 
Service Act, or this part.
    (3) Inspection authorizations. An inspection authorization requires

books, records, documents, other writings and information in the 
person's possession or control at the place where that person usually 
keeps them, and to inspect a person's property when such interviews and 
inspections are necessary or appropriate to the enforcement or the 
administration of the Defense Production Act, the Selective Service Act, 
or this part.
    (d) The production of books, records, documents, other writings and 
information will not be required at any place other than where they are 
usually kept if, prior to the return date specified in the 
administrative subpoena or demand for information, a duly authorized 
official of the Department of Commerce is furnished with copies of such 
material that are certified under oath to be true copies. As an 
alternative, a person may enter into a stipulation with a duly 
authorized official of the Department of Commerce as to the content of 
the material.
    (e) An administrative subpoena, demand for information, or 
inspection authorization shall include the name, title or official 
position of the person to be served, the evidence sought to be adduced, 
and its general relevance to the scope and purpose of the audit, 
investigation, or other inquiry. If employees or agents are to be 
interviewed; if books, records, documents, other writings, or 
information are to be produced; or if property is to be inspected; the 
administrative subpoena, demand for information, or inspection 
authorization will describe them with particularity.
    (f) Service of documents shall be made in the following manner:
    (1) Service of a demand for information or inspection authorization 
shall be made personally, or by certified mail--return receipt requested 
at the person's last known address. Service of an administrative

years of age at the person's last known dwelling or place of business.
    (2) Service upon other than an individual may be made by serving a 
partner, corporate officer, or a managing or general agent authorized by 
appointment or by law to accept service of process. If an agent is 
served, a copy of the document shall be mailed to the person named in 
the document.
    (3) Any individual 18 years of age or older may serve an 
administrative subpoena, demand for information, or inspection 
authorization. When personal service is made, the individual making the 
service shall prepare an affidavit as to the manner in which service was 
made and the identity of the person served, and return the affidavit, 
and in the case of subpoenas, the original document, to the issuing 
officer. In case of failure to make service, the reasons for the failure 
shall be stated on the original document.

    (a) If a person refuses to permit a duly authorized representative 
of the Department of Commerce to have access to any premises or source 
of information necessary to the administration or enforcement of the 
Defense Production Act or this part, the Department of Commerce may seek 
compulsory process. Compulsory process means the institution of 
appropriate legal action, including ex parte application for an 
inspection warrant or its equivalent, in any forum of appropriate 
jurisdiction.
    (b) Compulsory process may be sought in advance of an audit, 
investigation, or other inquiry, if, in the judgment of the Director of

believe that a person will refuse to permit an audit, investigation, or 
other inquiry, or that other circumstances exist which make such process 
desirable or necessary.

involved and the corrective action to be taken. Failure to take 
corrective action may then be construed as a willful violation of the

Sec.701.1  Purpose.

    The Defense Production Act Amendments of 1992 require the Secretary 
of Commerce to promulgate regulations for U.S. firms entering into 
contracts for the sale of defense articles or defense services to 
foreign countries or foreign firms that are subject to offset agreements 
exceeding $5,000,000 in value to furnish information regarding such 
agreements. The Secretary of Commerce has designated the Bureau of 
Industry and Security as the organization responsible for implementing 
this provision. The information provided by U.S. firms will be 
aggregated and used to determine the impact of offset transactions on 
the defense preparedness, industrial competitiveness, employment, and 
trade of the United States. Summary reports are submitted annually to 
Congress pursuant to Section 309 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 
as amended.

[59 FR 61796, Dec. 2, 1994, as amended at 74 FR 68140, Dec. 23, 2009]



Sec.701.2  Definitions.

    (a) Offsets. Compensation practices required as a condition of 
purchase in either government-to-government or commercial sales of:
    (1) Defense articles and/or defense services as defined by the Arms 
Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations; or
    (2) Items controlled under an Export Control Classification Number 
(ECCN) that has the numeral ``6'' as its third character in the Commerce 
Control List found in supplement no. 1 to part 774 of this chapter other 
than semi-submersible and submersible vessels specially designed for 
cargo transport and parts, components, accessories and attachments 
specially designed therefor controlled under ECCN 8A620.b; test, 
inspection and production equipment controlled in ECCN 8B620.b, software 
controlled in ECCN 8D620.b and technology controlled in ECCN 8E620.b.
    (b) Military Export Sales. Exports that are either Foreign Military 
Sales (FMS) or commercial (direct) sales of:
    (1) Defense articles and/or defense services as defined by the Arms 
Export Control Act and International Traffic in Arms Regulations; or
    (2) Items controlled under an Export Control Classification Number 
(ECCN) that has the numeral ``6'' as its third character in the Commerce 
Control List found in supplement no. 1 to part 774 of this chapter other 
than semi-submersible and submersible vessels specially designed for 
cargo transport and parts, components, accessories and attachments 
specially designed therefor controlled under ECCN 8A620.b; test, 
inspection and production equipment controlled in ECCN 8B620.b; software 
controlled in ECCN 8D620.b; and technology controlled in ECCN 8E620.b.
    (c) Prime Contractor. A firm that has a sales contract with a 
foreign entity or with the U.S. Government for military export sales.
    (d) United States. Includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, 
Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories.
    (e) Offset Agreement. Any offset as defined above that the U.S. firm 
agrees to in order to conclude a military export sales contract. This 
includes all offsets, whether they are ``best effort'' agreements or are 
subject to penalty clauses.
    (f) Offset Transaction. Any activity for which the U.S. firm claims 
credit for full or partial fulfillment of the offset agreement. 
Activities to implement offset agreements are categorized as co-
production, technology transfer, subcontracting, credit assistance, 
training, licensed production, investment, purchases and other. 
Paragraphs

[[Page 120]]

(f)(1) through (f)(8) of this section provide examples of the categories 
of offset transactions.
    (1) Example 1. Company A, a U.S. firm, contracts for Company B, a 
foreign firm located in country C, to produce a component of a U.S.-
origin defense article subject to an offset agreement between Company A 
and country C. The defense article will be sold to country C pursuant to 
a Foreign Military Sale and the production role of Company B is 
described in the Letter of Offer and Acceptance associated with that 
sale and a government-to-government co-production memorandum of 
understanding. This transaction would be categorized as co-production 
and would, like all co-production transactions, be direct.
    (2) Example 2. Company A, a U.S. firm, transfers technology to 
Company B, a foreign firm located in country C, which allows Company B 
to conduct research and development directly related to a defense 
article that is subject to an offset agreement between Company A and 
country C. This transaction would be categorized as technology transfer 
and would be direct because the research and development is directly 
related to an item subject to the offset agreement.
    (3) Example 3. Company A, a U.S. firm, contracts for Company B, a 
foreign firm located in country C, to produce a component of a U.S.-
origin defense article subject to an offset agreement between Company A 
and country C. The contract with Company B is for a direct commercial 
sale and Company A does not license Company B to use any technology. The 
transaction would be categorized as subcontracting and would, like all 
subcontracting transactions, be direct.
    (4) Example 4. Company A, a U.S. firm, makes arrangements for a line 
of credit at a financial institution for Company B, a foreign firm 
located in country C, so that Company B can produce an item that is not 
subject to the offset agreement between Company A and country C. The 
transaction would be categorized as credit assistance and would be 
indirect because the credit assistance is unrelated to an item covered 
by the offset agreement.
    (5) Example 5. Company A, a U.S. firm, arranges for training of 
personnel from Company B, a foreign firm located in country C. The 
training is related to the production and maintenance of a U.S.-origin 
defense article that is subject to an offset agreement between Company A 
and country C. The transaction would be categorized as training and 
would be direct because the training is directly related to the 
production and maintenance of an item covered by the offset agreement.
    (6) Example 6. Company A, a U.S. firm, contracts for Company B, a 
foreign firm located in country C, to produce a component of a U.S.-
origin defense article that is subject to an offset agreement between 
Company A and country C. The contract with Company B is a Foreign 
Military Sale and Company A licenses Company B to use Company A's 
production technology to produce the component. There is no co-
production agreement between the United States and country C. The 
transaction would be categorized as licensed production and would be 
direct because it involves the item covered by the offset agreement.
    (7) Example 7. Company A, a U.S. firm, makes an investment in 
Company B, a foreign firm located in country C, so that Company B can 
create a new production line to produce a component of a defense article 
that is subject to an offset agreement between Company A and country C. 
The transaction would be categorized as investment and would be direct 
because the investment involves an item covered by the offset agreement.
    (8) Example 8. Company A, a U.S. firm, purchases various off-the-
shelf items from Company B, a foreign firm located in country C, but 
none of these items will be used by Company A to produce the defense 
article subject to the offset agreement between Company A and country C. 
The transaction would be categorized as purchases and would, like all 
purchase transactions, be indirect.
    (g) Direct Offset. An offset transaction directly related to the 
article(s) or service(s) exported or to be exported pursuant to the 
military export sales agreement. See the examples illustrating offset 
transactions of this type

[[Page 121]]

in Sec. Sec.701.2(f)(1), 701.2(f)(2), 701.2(f)(3), 701.2(f)(5), 
701.2(f)(6) and 701.2(f)(7) of this part.
    (h) Indirect Offset. An offset transaction unrelated to the 
article(s) or service(s) exported or to be exported pursuant to the 
military export sales agreement. See the examples illustrating offset 
transactions of this type in Sec. Sec.701.2(f)(4) and 701.2(f)(8) of 
this part.

FR 10474, Mar. 1, 2016]



Sec.701.3  Applicability and scope.

    (a) This part applies to U.S. firms entering contracts that are 
subject to an offset agreement exceeding $5,000,000 in value and that 
are for the sale to a foreign country or foreign firm of:
    (1) Defense articles and/or defense services as defined by the Arms 
Export Control Act and International Traffic in Arms Regulations; or
    (2) Items controlled under an Export Control Classification Number 
(ECCN) that has the numeral ``6'' as its third character in the Commerce 
Control List found in supplement no. 1 to part 774 of this chapter other 
than semi-submersible and submersible vessels specially designed for 
cargo transport and parts, components, accessories and attachments 
specially designed therefor controlled under ECCN 8A620.b; test, 
inspection and production equipment controlled in ECCN 8B620.b; software 
controlled in ECCN 8D620.b and technology controlled in ECCN 8E620.b.
    (b) This rule applies to all offset transactions completed in 
performance of existing offset commitments since January 1, 1993 for 
which offset credit of $250,000 or more has been claimed from the 
foreign representative, and new offset agreements entered into since 
that time.

attachments must include the information in a computerized spreadsheet 
or database format. If unable to submit a report in computerized format, 
companies should contact the Offset Program Manager for guidance. All 
submissions must include a point of contact (name and telephone number) 
and must be submitted by a company official authorized to provide such 
information.

Supplement No. 1 to Part 702--General Survey Information

    Authority: 50 U.S.C. 4501 et seq.; E.O. 13603, 77 FR 16651, 3 CFR, 
2012 Comp., p. 225.

    Source: 80 FR 41430, July 15, 2015, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.702.1  Introduction.

    In accordance with 50 U.S.C. app. 2155, the Bureau of Industry and 
Security (BIS) may obtain such information from, require such reports 
and the keeping of such records by, make an inspection of the books, 
records, and other writings, premises or property of, take the sworn 
testimony of and administer oaths and affirmations to, any person as may 
be necessary or appropriate, in its discretion, to the enforcement or 
the administration of its authorities and responsibilities under the 
Defense Production Act of 1950 as amended (DPA) and any regulations or 
orders issued thereunder. BIS's authorities under the DPA (50 U.S.C. 
app. 2061 et seq.) include authority to collect data via surveys to 
perform industry studies assessing the capabilities of the United States 
industrial base to support the national defense and develop policy 
recommendations to improve both the international competitiveness of 
specific domestic industries and their ability to meet national defense 
program needs.



Sec.702.2  Scope and purpose of surveys--avoiding duplicative 
requests for information.

    (a) BIS will not send any survey to any person for completion unless 
the scope and purpose of the survey have been established, that scope 
and purpose are consistent with BIS's authorities under the DPA, and the 
data requested by the survey does not duplicate adequate and 
authoritative data already available to BIS from a Federal or other 
authoritative source.
    (b) BIS personnel of appropriate competence and authority will 
ensure that the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section are met.
    (c) This section shall not be construed as limiting the criteria 
that BIS may consider in determining whether to proceed with a survey. 
This paragraph shall not be construed as replacing or in any way 
modifying the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.).



Sec.702.3  Confidential information.

    This section implements section 705(d) of the DPA.
    (a) BIS deems all information submitted in response to a survey 
issued pursuant to this part to be confidential.

[[Page 125]]

    (b) Any person submitting information in response to a survey issued 
pursuant to this part may request confidential treatment of that 
information.
    (c) The President's authority under the DPA to protect confidential 
information has been delegated to the Under Secretary for Industry and 
Security. The information described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this 
section shall not be published or disclosed unless the Under Secretary 
for Industry and Security determines that the withholding thereof is 
contrary to the interest of the national defense.
    (d) Any person convicted of willfully violating the prohibition in 
paragraph (c) of this section may be fined not more than $10,000 or 
imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.



Sec.702.4  Requirement to comply with surveys or other requests 
for information.

    (a) Requirement to comply. Every person who receives a survey or 
other request for information issued pursuant to this part must submit a 
complete and adequate response to BIS within the time frame stated on 
the initial distribution letter or other request for information. Survey 
response information that does not adhere to the survey question 
criteria or that contains only aggregate information in place of 
specified information will be treated as inadequate and therefore 
noncompliant. BIS may exempt persons from this requirement for the 
reasons in paragraph (b) of this section, or grant extensions of time to 
comply as set forth in paragraph (c) of this section. Submitting a 
request to BIS for an exemption or an extension of time for completion 
does not suspend the initial deadline required by BIS (or any extended 
deadline subsequently granted by BIS). Thus, persons who request an 
exemption or extension of time are advised to proceed as if the response 
is required by the deadline until advised otherwise by BIS.
    (b) Grounds for exemption. (1) An exemption from the requirements of 
this section may be granted if the person receiving the survey or other 
request for information:
    (i) Has no physical presence in the United States of any kind;
    (ii) Does not provide, produce, distribute, utilize, procure, 
research, develop, consult or advise on, or have any other direct or 
indirect association with the materials, products, services or 
technology that are within the scope of the survey;
    (iii) Has ceased business operations more than 12 months prior to 
receipt of the survey;
    (iv) Has been in business for less than one year; or
    (v) BIS determines that extenuating circumstances exist that make 
responding impractical.
    (2) BIS may also grant an exemption if, based on the totality of the 
circumstances, it concludes that compliance would be impractical and/or 
that requiring compliance would be unduly time intensive.
    (3) Existence of a pre-existing private non-disclosure agreement or 
information sharing agreement between a person and another party (e.g., 
customers, suppliers, etc.), does not exempt a person from the 
obligation to comply with and complete a survey. The authority to 
conduct the survey and comply with the survey is derived from the DPA, 
and that statutory obligation to comply supersedes any private 
agreement.
    (c) Extensions of time to complete. A person who receives a survey 
or other request for information may request an extension of time to 
submit the complete response to BIS. BIS may grant such an extension of 
time, if, in its judgment, circumstances are such that additional time 
reasonably is needed, the extension would not jeopardize timely 
completion of BIS's overall analysis, and the person is making 
reasonable progress towards completing the survey or response to the 
other request for information. Generally, extensions will be for no more 
than two weeks. A person who receives a survey or other request for 
information may request successive extensions if the person believes 
that it continues to have a legitimate need for additional time to 
complete the survey. BIS will not grant extensions that would jeopardize 
the performance and timely completion of its industrial base 
assessments.

[[Page 126]]

    (d) Procedure for requesting exemptions or extensions of time. 
Requests for exemptions or extensions of time must be made to BIS at the 
telephone number, email address or BIS physical address provided in the 
initial distribution letter for a survey or in the other request for 
information. A request for an exemption must provide factual information 
and documentation that are adequate for BIS to determine that one or 
more of the criteria stated in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section are 
met.
    (e) Responses that are incomplete or inadequate. BIS may return 
responses that are incomplete or inadequate to the person for prompt 
completion. BIS will specify the required period of time permitted for 
completion and submission of the revised survey.



Sec.702.5  Consequences of failure to comply.

    (a) Civil. If any person fails to comply with the requirements of 
Sec.702.4, BIS may issue a subpoena requiring that person to submit 
the information called for in the survey. In the case of contumacy or 
refusal to obey such a subpoena, the U.S. Government may apply for an 
order by the United States district court in a district where that 
person resides or transacts business that would compel the person to 
submit the completed survey.
    (b) Criminal. In accordance with 50 U.S.C. app. 2155, any person who 
willfully fails to comply with Sec.702.4, may, upon conviction, be 
fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or 
both.



Sec.702.6  Definitions.

    The definitions in this section apply throughout this part.
    Confidential. A description of information that is subject to the 
disclosure prohibitions of the DPA (50 U.S.C. app. 2155(d)).
    Initial distribution letter. A letter that BIS sends to a person 
that has been identified by the U.S. Government as a supplier or 
customer of materials, products or services used for activities of the 
industry that is the focus of a survey. The letter describes the 
survey's primary objectives, how survey results will assist the U.S. 
Government, and the confidential treatment of the information submitted. 
The letter also includes BIS contact information.
    Person. The term ``person'' includes:
    (1) An individual, corporation, partnership, association, or any 
other organized group of persons, or legal successor or representative 
thereof;
    (2) Any State or local government or agency thereof;
    (3) The Government of the United States, of the District of 
Columbia, of any commonwealth, territory or possession of the United 
States, or any department, agency or commission thereof.

    Note to the definition of ``person.'' Paragraph (1) of this 
definition is not limited to commercial or for-profit organizations. For 
example, the term ``any other organized group of persons'' may encompass 
labor unions, academic institutions, charitable organizations or any 
group of persons who are organized in some manner. The term corporation 
is not limited to publicly traded corporations or corporations that 
exist for the purpose of making a profit.

    Survey. A questionnaire or other request for information that 
collects detailed information and data to support both the assessment of 
a particular industrial sector or technology and the development of a 
corresponding study.



      Sec. Supplement No. 1 to Part 702--General Survey Information

    This supplement provides general information about surveys and the 
content of the typical survey. The content of this supplement is purely 
an example of a typical survey, and in no way limits the content that 
may appear in a specific Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)-issued 
survey. Procedures and content vary from survey to survey, and as such, 
there is no set template to follow. Nonetheless, BIS is offering this 
information as a basic guide to some elements of a survey.

                            Survey Structure

    Most surveys include the following sections: Cover Page; Table of 
Contents; General Instructions; Glossary of Terms; Organizational 
Information, and sector-specific sections.
    --The cover page typically includes the title of the survey, its 
scope, an explanation of the legal requirement to comply, the burden 
estimate for compliance with the survey, the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) control number, and the survey date of expiration.

[[Page 127]]

    --The General Instructions section normally includes process steps 
necessary for a person's survey submittal. These include but are not 
limited to instructions for survey completion, survey support staff 
point-of-contact information, the name and address of the presiding BIS 
official, and instructions for both survey certification and submittal.
    --The Glossary of Terms section explains terms contained in the 
survey. Terms contained in the survey may be unique to the subject 
matter of the industry assessment, and therefore may change in meaning 
from survey to survey. Therefore, it is important to follow the specific 
instructions and defined terms contained in the specific survey you 
receive, regardless of any previous survey you might have completed.
    --The Organization Information section requests information related 
to the person in receipt of the survey, including address information, 
the source level of response (e.g., facility, business unit, division, 
corporate consolidated, etc.), point of contact details, and other 
pertinent contact information.
    The survey is generally organized in a question and answer format 
and is presented on an electronic survey system. Each survey is 
specially tailored to collect the specific information requested. 
Therefore, specific detailed information is what should be submitted in 
response to a survey requesting such information.
    --For example, if we ask for a listing of your customers that order 
widget A, your response should not be a listing of your entire customer 
base. Only the information pertaining to customers' ordering widget A is 
responsive to that kind of question.
    Also note that your reply to a survey request is compulsory, unless 
you meet the criteria for exemption set forth in the body of the 
regulation. Therefore, any non-disclosure agreements or similar 
agreements you may have with your customers or clients are not 
applicable to a survey's request for information. Compliance with the 
survey is required by the DPA. Accordingly, compliance with that 
statutory requirement is paramount to any private agreement you have 
with your customers or other parties.
    In addition to the aforementioned sections, each survey contains 
sections tailored to the specific scope of the study, including but not 
limited to Facility Locations, Products and Services, Inventories, 
Suppliers and Customers, Challenges and Organizational Outlook, 
Employment, Operations, Financial Statements, Sales, Research and 
Development, and Capital Expenditures.
    Examples of survey terms.
    Certification: A section of the survey in which a person (an 
authorizing official) certifies that the information supplied in 
response to the survey is complete and correct, to the best of the 
person's knowledge.
    Facility: A building or the minimum complex of buildings or parts of 
buildings in which a person operates to serve a particular function, 
producing revenue and incurring costs for the person. A facility may 
produce an item of tangible or intangible property or may perform a 
service. It may encompass a floor or group of floors within a building, 
a single building, or a group of buildings or structures. Often, a 
facility is a group of related locations at which employees work, 
together constituting a profit-and-loss center for the person, and it 
may be identified by a unique Dun and Bradstreet number.
    Sole source: An organization that is the only source for the supply 
of parts, components, materials, or services. No alternative U.S. or 
non-U.S. based supplier exists other than the current supplier.
    Survey template: The data collection instrument supplied by BIS to 
persons by which survey information is recorded and submitted to BIS. 
The survey is generally organized in a question and answer format and is 
presented on an electronic survey system.
    Supplier: An entity from which your organization obtains inputs. A 
supplier may be another firm with which you have a contractual 
relationship, or it may be another facility owned by the same parent 
organization. The inputs may be materials, products or services.

Sec.705.4  Criteria for determining effect of imports on the national
security.

    (a) To determine the effect on the national security of the imports 
of the article under investigation, the Department shall consider the 
quantity of the article in question or other circumstances related to 
its import. With regard for the requirements of national security, the 
Department shall also consider the following:
    (1) Domestic production needed for projected national defense 
requirements;
    (2) The capacity of domestic industries to meet projected national 
defense requirements;

defense requirements and the supplies and services including the 
investment, exploration and development necessary to assure such growth; 
and
    (5) Any other relevant factors.
    (b) In recognition of the close relation between the strength of our 
national economy and the capacity of the United States to meet national 
security requirements, the Department shall also, with regard for the 
quantity, availability, character and uses of the imported article under 
investigation, consider the following:
    (1) The impact of foreign competition on the economic welfare of any 
domestic industry essential to our national security;
    (2) The displacement of any domestic products causing substantial 
unemployment, decrease in the revenues of government, loss of investment 
or specialized skills and productive capacity, or other serious effects; 
and
    (3) Any other relevant factors that are causing or will cause a 
weakening of our national economy.



Sec.705.5  Request or application for an investigation.

Sec.705.6  Confidential information.

    (a) Any information or material which the applicant or any other 
party desires to submit in confidence at any stage of the investigation

Sec.705.11  Determination by the President and adjustment of imports.

    (a) Upon the submission of a report to the President by the 
Secretary under Sec.705.10(b) of this part, in which the Department 
has found that an article is being imported into the United States in 
such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the 
national security, the President is required by Section 232(c) of the 
Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862(c)) to take the 
following action
    (1) Within 90 days after receiving the report from the Secretary, 
the President shall determine:
    (i) Whether the President concurs with the Department's finding; and
    (ii) If the President concurs, the nature and duration of the action 
that must be taken to adjust the imports of the article and its 
derivatives so that the such imports will not threaten to impair the 
national security.
    (2) If the President determines to take action under this section, 
such action must be taken no later than fifteen (15) days after making 
the determination.
    (3) By no later than thirty (30) days after making the

negotiation of an agreement to limit or restrict the importation into 
the United States of the article in question, and either no such 
agreement is entered into within 180 days after making the determination 
to take action, or an executed agreement is not being carried out or is 
ineffective in eliminating the threat to the national security, the 
President shall either:
    (1) Take such other action as deemed necessary to adjust the imports 
of the article so that such imports will not

[[Page 132]]

threaten to impair the national security. Notice of any such additional 
action taken shall be published in the Federal Register; or
    (2) Not take any additional action. This determination and the 
reasons on which it is based, shall be published in the Federal 
Register.

[63 FR 31623, June 10, 1998]

    Sec. Requirements for Submissions Requesting Exclusions From the 
Adjustment of Imports of Aluminum and Steel Imposed Pursuant to Section 
           232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as Amended

    On March 8, 2018, the President issued Proclamations 9704 and 9705 
concurring with the findings of the January 11, 2018 reports of the 
Secretary of Commerce on the effects of imports of aluminum and steel 
mill articles (steel articles) on the national security and determining 
that adjusting aluminum and steel imports through the imposition of 
duties is necessary so that their imports will no longer threaten to 
impair the national security. Clause 3 of Proclamations 9704 and 9705 
also authorized the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the 
Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of 
State, the United States Trade Representative, the Assistant to the 
President for Economic Policy, the Assistant to the President for 
National Security Affairs, and other senior Executive Branch officials 
as appropriate, to grant exclusions from the duties at the request of 
directly affected parties located in the United States if the requested 
steel or aluminum article is determined not to be produced in the United 
States in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or of a 
satisfactory quality or based upon specific national security 
considerations. On August 29, 2018, the President issued Proclamation 
9776. Clause 1 of Proclamation 9776, authorizes the Secretary of 
Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of 
the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the United States Trade 
Representative, the Assistant to the President for National Security 
Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and such 
other senior Executive Branch officials as the Secretary deems 
appropriate, to provide relief from the applicable quantitative 
limitations set forth in Proclamation 9740 and Proclamation 9759 for 
steel articles and as set forth in Proclamation 9739 and 9758 for 
aluminum articles and their accompanying annexes, as amended, at the 
request of a directly affected party located in the United States for 
any steel or aluminum article determined by the Secretary to not be 
produced in the United States in a sufficient and reasonably available 
amount or of a satisfactory quality. The Secretary is also authorized to 
provide such relief based upon specific national security 
considerations.
    (a) Scope. This supplement specifies the requirements and process 
for how directly affected parties located in the United States may 
submit requests for exclusions from the duties and quantitative 
limitations imposed by the President. This supplement also specifies the 
requirements and process for how parties in the United States may submit 
objections to submitted exclusion requests for relief from the duties or 
quantitative limitations imposed by the President and the process for 
rebuttals to submitted objections and surrebuttals (collectively, ``232 
submissions''). This supplement identifies the time periods for such 
submissions, the methods of submission, and the information that must be 
included in such submissions.
    (b) Required forms. The 232 Exclusions Portal (https://
www.commerce.gov/page/section- 232-investigations) includes four web-
based forms that are to be used for submitting exclusion requests, 
objections to exclusion requests, rebuttals, and surrebuttals described 
in this supplement. On the 232 Exclusions Portal, each web-based form is 
available on the portal at the bottom of the preceding filing. For 
example, a party submitting an objection will access the objection form 
by scrolling to the bottom of the exclusion request, a rebuttal filer 
will access the rebuttal form by scrolling to the bottom of the 
objection form, and a surrebuttal filer would access the surrebuttal 
form by scrolling to the bottom of the rebuttal form. The U.S. 
Department of Commerce requires requesters and objectors to use the 
appropriate form as specified under paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this 
supplement for submitting exclusion requests and objections to submitted 
exclusion requests and the forms specified under paragraphs (b)(3) and 
(4) of this supplement for

[[Page 133]]

submitting rebuttals and surrebuttals. In addition, submitters of 
exclusion requests, objections to submitted exclusion requests, 
rebuttals, and surrebuttals to the 232 Exclusions Portal will be 
required to complete a web-based registration on the 232 Exclusions 
Portal prior to submitting any documents. In order to register, 
submitters will be required to provide an email and establish a password 
for the account. After completing the registration, submitters will be 
able to login to an account on the 232 Exclusions Portal and submit 
exclusion requests, objections, rebuttals, and surrebuttal documents.
    (1) Form required for submitting exclusion requests. The full name 
of the form used for submitting steel exclusion requests is Request for 
Exclusion from Remedies: Section 232 National Security Investigation of 
Steel Imports. The full name of the form used for submitting aluminum 
exclusion requests is Request for Exclusion from Remedies: Section 232 
National Security Investigation of Aluminum Imports. The Title of the 
web-based fillable form for both steel and aluminum in the 232 
Exclusions Portal is Exclusion Request.
    (2) Form required for submitting objections to submitted exclusion 
requests. The name of the form used for submitting objections to 
submitted steel exclusion requests is Objection Filing to Posted Section 
232 Exclusion Request: Steel. The name of the form used for submitting 
objections to submitted aluminum exclusion requests is Objection Filing 
to Posted Section 232 Exclusion Request: Aluminum. The Title of the web-
based fillable form for both steel and aluminum in the 232 Exclusions 
Portal is Objection.
    (3) Form required for submitting rebuttals. The name of the form 
used for submitting rebuttals to steel objections is Rebuttal to 
Objection Received for Section 232 Exclusion Request: Steel. The name of 
the form used for submitting rebuttals to aluminum objections is 
Rebuttal to Objection Received for Section 232 Exclusion Request: 
Aluminum. The Title of the web-based fillable form for both steel and 
aluminum in the 232 Exclusions Portal is Rebuttal.
    (4) Form required for submitting surrebuttals. The name of the form 
used for submitting surrebuttals to steel objections is Surrebuttal to 
Rebuttal Received on Section 232 Objection: Steel. The name of the form 
used for submitting surrebuttals to aluminum objections is Surrebuttal 
to Rebuttal Received on Section 232 Objection: Aluminum. The Title of 
the web-based fillable form for both steel and aluminum in the 232 
Exclusions Portal is Surrebuttal.
    Note to Paragraphs (b)(1) Through (4): On the 232 Exclusions Portal, 
each exclusion request is assigned a distinct ID , which is also used 
with its associated 232 submissions, but preceded with an acronym 
indicating the file type: Exclusion Requests (ER ID ), Objection (OF ID 
), Rebuttals (RB ID ) and Surrebuttals (SR ID ). For an example of 
the four possible types of 232 submissions associated with a single 
exclusion request, you could have ER ID 237, OF ID 237, RB ID 237 and SR 
ID 237. The 232 Exclusions Portal will automatically assign the two 
letter designator depending on the type of web-based form being 
submitted in the portal and will assign an ID number to the original 
exclusion request and that ID number will be common to any objection, 
rebuttal, or surrebuttal submitted pertaining to the same exclusion 
request.
    (5) Public disclosure and information protected from public 
disclosure. (i) Information submitted in 232 submissions will be subject 
to public review and made available for public inspection and copying, 
except for the information described in paragraph (b)(5)(iii) of this 
supplement. Individuals and organizations must fully complete the 
relevant forms.
    (ii) Information not subject to public disclosure should not be 
submitted. Personally identifiable information, including social 
security numbers and employer identification numbers, should not be 
provided. Information that is subject to government-imposed access and 
dissemination or other specific national security controls, e.g., 
classified information or information that has U.S. Government 
restrictions on dissemination to non-U.S. citizens or other categories 
of persons that would prohibit public disclosure of the information, may 
not be included in 232 submissions. Individuals and organizations that 
have confidential business information (``CBI'') that they believe 
relevant to the Secretary's consideration of the 232 submission should 
so indicate in the appropriate field of the relevant form, or on the 
rebuttal or surrebuttal submission, following the procedures in 
paragraph (b)(5)(iii) of this supplement.
    (iii) Procedures for identifying, but not disclosing confidential or 
proprietary business information (CBI) in the public version, and 
procedures for submitting CBI. For persons seeking to submit 
confidential or proprietary business information (CBI), the 232 
submission available to the public must contain a summary of the CBI in 
sufficient detail to permit a reasonable understanding of the substance 
of the information. If the submitting person claims that summarization 
is not possible, the claim must be accompanied by a full explanation of 
the reasons supporting that claim. Generally, numerical data will be 
considered adequately summarized if grouped or presented in terms of 
indices or figures within ten percent of the actual figure. If an 
individual portion of the numerical data is voluminous (e.g., five pages 
of numerical data), at least one percent of the numerical data, 
representative of that portion, must be summarized. In order to submit 
CBI that is not for public release

[[Page 134]]

as a separate email submission to the U.S. Department of Commerce, you 
must follow the procedures in paragraphs (b)(3)(iii)(A)-(D) of this 
supplement to assist the U.S. Department of Commerce in identifying 
these submissions and associating these submissions with the respective 
232 submission in the 232 Exclusions Portal. Submitters with classified 
information should contact the U.S. Department of Commerce for 
instructions on the appropriate methods to send this type of 
information.
    (A) For CBI related to exclusion requests or objections, check the 
appropriate box in the 232 Exclusions Portal indicating that the filer 
has relevant CBI for consideration. If Commerce determines after review 
that the CBI is needed, Commerce will directly request the CBI from the 
exclusion requester or objector as warranted.
    (B) For CBI related to rebuttals or surrebuttals, on the same day 
that you submit your 232 submission in the 232 Exclusions Portal, submit 
the CBI via email to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The email address 
used is different depending on the type of submission the emailed CBI is 
for, as follows: CBI for rebuttals use [email protected]; and CBI for 
surrebuttals use [email protected].
    (C) For rebuttals and surrebuttals pertaining to 232 submissions for 
exclusion requests the email subject line must only include the original 
232 Exclusions Portal Exclusion Request (ER) ID  and the body of the 
email must include the 232 Exclusions Portal Rebuttal (RB) ID , or 
Surrebuttal (SR) ID  you received from the 232 Exclusions Portal when 
you successfully submitted your rebuttal or surrebuttal. These naming 
conventions used in the 232 Exclusions Portal, respectively, will assist 
the U.S. Department of Commerce to associate the CBI that will not be 
posted in the 232 Exclusions Portal with the information included in the 
public submission.
    (D) Submit the CBI as an attachment to that email. The CBI is 
limited to a maximum of five pages per rebuttal or surrebuttal. The 
email is to be limited to sending your CBI. All other information for 
the public submission, and public versions of the CBI, where 
appropriate, for a 232 submission in the 232 Exclusions Portal following 
the procedures identified in this supplement, as appropriate.
    Note 1 to Paragraph (b) for Submissions of Supporting Documents 
(Attachments): Supporting attachments must be emailed as PDF documents.
    Note 2 to Paragraph (b): It is a criminal offense to willfully make 
a false statement or representation to any department or agency of the 
United States Government as to any matter within its jurisdiction [18 
U.S.C. 1001(2018)].
    (c) Exclusion requests. (1) Who may submit an exclusion request? 
Only directly affected individuals or organizations located in the 
United States may submit an exclusion request. An individual or 
organization is ``directly affected'' if they are using steel in 
business activities (e.g., construction, manufacturing, or supplying 
steel product to users) in the United States.
    (2) Identification of exclusion requests. Separate exclusion 
requests must be submitted for steel products with chemistry by 
percentage breakdown by weight, metallurgical properties, surface 
quality (e.g., galvanized, coated), and critical dimensions covered by a 
common HTSUS statistical reporting number. Separate exclusion requests 
must be submitted for aluminum products with critical dimensions covered 
by a common HTSUS statistical reporting number. The exclusion request 
forms allow for minimum and maximum dimensions. A permissible range must 
be within the minimum and maximum range that is specified in the HTSUS 
statistical reporting number and applicable notes. Separate exclusion 
requests must also be submitted for products falling in more than one 
ten-digit HTSUS statistical reporting number. The U.S. Department of 
Commerce will approve exclusions on a product basis, and the approvals 
will be limited to the individual or organization that submitted the 
specific exclusion request, unless Commerce approves a broader 
application of the product-based exclusion request to apply to 
additional importers. Other directly-affected individuals or 
organizations located in the United States that wish to submit an 
exclusion request for a steel or aluminum product that has already been 
the subject of an approved exclusion request may submit an exclusion 
request under this supplement. These additional exclusion requests by 
other directly-affected individuals or organizations in the United 
States are not required to reference the previously approved exclusion 
but are advised to do so, if they want Commerce to take that exclusion 
into account when reviewing a subsequent exclusion request. Directly 
affected individuals and organizations in the United States will not be 
precluded from submitting a request for exclusion of a product even 
though an exclusion request submitted for that product by another 
requester or that requester was denied or is no longer valid.
    (3) Where to submit exclusion requests? All exclusion requests must 
be submitted directly on the 232 Exclusions Portal (https://
www.commerce.gov/page/section- 232-investigations).
    (4) No time limit for submitting exclusion requests. Exclusion 
requests may be submitted at any time.
    (5)(i) Substance of exclusion requests. An exclusion request must 
specify the business activities in the United States within which

[[Page 135]]

the requester is engaged that qualify the individual or organization to 
be directly affected and thus eligible to submit an exclusion request. 
The request should clearly identify, and provide support for, the basis 
upon which the exclusion is sought. An exclusion will only be granted if 
an article is not produced in the United States in a sufficient, 
reasonably available amount, and of a satisfactory quality, or for 
specific national security considerations.
    (ii) Certification for volume requested. In order to ensure that the 
volume requested in an exclusion request is consistent with legitimate 
business needs for the same steel or aluminum articles obtained (i.e., 
imported from abroad either directly by the requester or indirectly by 
purchasing from distributors) by the entity requesting an exclusion, the 
following certification in paragraphs (c)(5)(ii)(A)-(E) must be 
acknowledged in the 232 Exclusions Portal when completing the submission 
of a 232 exclusion request. The exclusion request certification for 
volume requested must be signed by an organization official specifically 
authorized to certify the document (the certification being made in the 
232 Exclusions Portal) as being accurate and complete. The undersigned 
certifies in the 232 Exclusions Portal that the information herein 
supplied in response to this paragraph is complete and correct to the 
best of his/her knowledge. By signing the certification below, I attest 
that:
    (A) My organization intends to manufacture, process, or otherwise 
transform the imported product for which I have filed an exclusion 
request or I have a purchase order or orders for such products;
    (B) My organization does not intend to use the exclusion for which I 
have filed an exclusion request, if granted, solely to hedge or 
arbitrage the price;
    (C) My organization expects to consume, sell, or otherwise use the 
total volume of product across all my active exclusions and pending 
exclusion requests in the course of my organization's business 
activities within the next calendar year;
    (D) If my organization is submitting an exclusion request for a 
product for which we previously received an exclusion, I certify that my 
organization either imported the full amount of our approved 
exclusion(s) last year or intended to import the full amount but could 
not due to one of the following reasons:
    (1) Loss of contract(s);
    (2) Unanticipated business downturns; or
    (3) Other factors that were beyond my organization's control that 
directly resulted in less need for steel or aluminum articles; and
    (E) I certify that the exclusion amount requested this year is in 
line with what my organization expects to import based on our current 
business outlook. If requested by the Department of Commerce, my 
organization shall provide documentation that justifies its assertions 
in this certification regarding its past imports of steel or aluminum 
articles and its projections for the current year, as it relates to past 
and current calendar year exclusion requests.
    Note to Paragraphs (c)(5)(i) and (ii): Any exclusion request that 
does not include a certification made in accordance with (c)(5)(ii) will 
be treated as an incomplete submission and will therefore be rejected.
    (6) Criteria used to review exclusion requests. The U.S. Department 
of Commerce will review each exclusion request to determine whether an 
article described in an exclusion request meets any of the following 
three criteria: The article is not produced in the United States in an 
amount which can be delivered in a time period equal to or less than the 
time needed for the requester to obtain the product from their foreign 
supplier, is not produced in the United States in a satisfactory 
quality, or for specific national security considerations. The reviews 
will be made on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the requester 
has shown that the article is not produced in the United States in 
sufficient and reasonably available amount or of a satisfactory quality, 
or that there are specific national security considerations to grant the 
exclusion. To provide additional context on the meaning and application 
of the criteria, paragraphs (c)(6)(i)-(iii) of this supplement define 
keys terms used in the review criteria and provide illustrative 
application examples. The U.S. Department of Commerce will use the same 
criteria identified in paragraphs (c)(6)(i)-(iii) of this supplement 
when determining whether it is warranted to approve broader product-
based exclusions based on trends the Department may see over time with 
232 submissions. The public is not permitted to request broader product-
based exclusions that would apply to all importers, because the 
Department makes these determinations over time by evaluating the macro 
trends in 232 submissions. Items for which a broader determination has 
been made will be identified in supplements no. 2 or 3 to part 705.
    (i) Not produced in the United States in a sufficient and reasonably 
available amount. The exclusion review criterion ``Not produced in the 
United States in a sufficient and reasonably available amount'' means 
that the amount that is needed by the end user requesting the exclusion 
is not available immediately in the United States to meet its specified 
business activities. Available ``immediately'' means that a product 
(whether it is currently being produced in the United States, or could 
be produced in the United States) can be delivered by a U.S. producer 
``within eight weeks'', or, if that is not possible, by a date earlier 
than the time required for the requester to obtain the entire quantity 
of the product from the requester's

[[Page 136]]

foreign supplier. Furthermore, to the extent that an objector can 
produce and deliver a portion, which is less than 100 percent, but ten 
percent or more, of the amount of steel or aluminum needed in the 
business activities of the user in the United States described in the 
exclusion request, the Department of Commerce may deny a requested 
exclusion for that percentage of imported steel or aluminum. It is 
incumbent upon both the exclusion requester, and objecting producers, to 
provide supplemental evidence supporting their claimed delivery times.
    (ii) Not produced in the United States in a satisfactory quality. 
The exclusion review criterion ``not produced in the United States in a 
satisfactory quality'' does not mean the steel or aluminum needs to be 
identical, but it does need to be equivalent as a substitute product. 
``Substitute product'' for purposes of this review criterion means that 
the steel or aluminum being produced by an objector can meet 
``immediately'' (see paragraph (c)(6)(i) of this supplement) the quality 
(e.g., industry specs or internal company quality controls or 
standards), regulatory, or testing standards, in order for the U.S.-
produced steel to be used in that business activity in the United States 
by that end user.
    (A) Steel application examples. For a steel example, if a U.S. 
business activity requires that steel plates to be provided must meet 
certain military testing and military specification standards in order 
to be used in military combat vehicles, that requirement would be taken 
into account when reviewing the exclusion request and any objections, 
rebuttals, and surrebuttals submitted. As another steel example, if a 
U.S. business activity requires that steel tubing to be provided must 
meet certain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals to be used in 
medical devices, that requirement would be taken into account when 
reviewing the exclusion request and any objections, rebuttals, and 
surrebuttals submitted. Another steel example would be a food 
manufacturer that requires tin-plate approval from the U.S. Department 
of Agriculture (USDA) to make any changes in the tin-plate it uses to 
make cans for fruit juices. An objector would not have to make steel for 
use in making the cans that was identical, but it would have to be a 
``substitute product,'' meaning it could meet the USDA certification 
standards.
    (B) Aluminum application examples. For an aluminum example, if a 
U.S. business activity requires that aluminum to be provided must meet 
certain military testing and military specification standards in order 
to be used in military aircraft, that requirement would be taken into 
account when reviewing the exclusion request and any objections, 
rebuttals, and surrebuttals submitted. Another aluminum example would be 
a U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturer that requires approval from the Food 
and Drug Administration (FDA) to make any changes in its aluminum 
product pill bottle covers. An objector would not have to make aluminum 
for use in making the product covers that was identical, but it would 
have to be a ``substitute product,'' meaning it could meet the FDA 
certification standards.
    (iii) For specific national security considerations. The exclusion 
review criterion ``or for specific national security considerations'' is 
intended to allow the U.S. Department of Commerce, in consultation with 
other parts of the U.S. Government as warranted, to make determinations 
whether a particular exclusion request should be approved based on 
specific national security considerations.
    (A) Steel application examples. For example, if the steel included 
in an exclusion request is needed by a U.S. defense contractor for 
making critical items for use in a military weapons platform for the 
U.S. Department of Defense, and the duty or quantitative limitation will 
prevent the military weapons platform from being produced, the exclusion 
will likely be granted. The U.S. Department of Commerce, in consultation 
with the other parts of the U.S. Government as warranted, can consider 
other impacts to U.S. national security that may result from not 
approving an exclusion, e.g., the unintended impacts that may occur in 
other downstream industries using steel, but in such cases the 
demonstrated concern with U.S. national security would need to be 
tangible and clearly explained and ultimately determined by the U.S. 
Government.
    (B) Aluminum application examples. For example, if the aluminum 
included in an exclusion request is needed by a U.S. defense contractor 
for making critical items for use in a military weapons platform for the 
U.S. Department of Defense, and the duty or quantitative limitation will 
prevent the military weapons platform from being produced, the exclusion 
will likely be granted. The U.S. Department of Commerce, in consultation 
with the other parts of the U.S. Government as warranted, can consider 
other impacts to U.S. national security that may result from not 
approving an exclusion, e.g., the unintended impacts that may occur in 
other downstream industries using aluminum, but in such cases the 
demonstrated concern with U.S. national security would need to be 
tangible and clearly explained and ultimately determined by the U.S. 
Government.
    (d) Objections to submitted exclusion requests. (1) Who may submit 
an objection to a submitted exclusion request? Any individual or 
organization that manufactures steel or aluminum articles in the United 
States may file objections to steel exclusion requests, but the U.S. 
Department of Commerce will only consider information directly related 
to the submitted exclusion request that is the subject of the objection.

[[Page 137]]

    (2) Identification of objections to submitted exclusion requests. 
When submitting an objection to a submitted exclusion request, the 
objector must locate the exclusion request and submit the objection in 
response to the request directly in the 232 Exclusions Portal. Once the 
relevant exclusion request has been located, an individual or 
organization that would like to submit an objection will access the 
objection form by scrolling to the bottom of the exclusion request form 
and then fill out the web-based form for submitting their objection to 
the exclusion request in the 232 Exclusions Portal (https://
www.commerce.gov/page/section- 232-investigations).
    (3) Time limit for submitting objections to submitted exclusions 
requests. All objections to submitted exclusion requests must be 
submitted directly on the 232 Exclusions Portal (https://
www.commerce.gov/page/section- 232-investigations) no later than 30 days 
after the related exclusion request is posted, with the 30-day clock 
starting at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the calendar day an exclusion 
request is posted.
    (4) Substance of objections to submitted exclusion requests. The 
objection should clearly identify, and provide support for, its 
opposition to the proposed exclusion, with reference to the specific 
basis identified in, and the support provided for, the submitted 
exclusion request. If the objector is asserting that it is not currently 
producing the steel or aluminum identified in an exclusion request but 
can produce the steel or aluminum and make that steel or aluminum 
available ``immediately'' in accordance with the time required for the 
user of steel or aluminum in the United States to obtain the product 
from its foreign suppliers, the objector must identify how it will be 
able to produce and deliver the quantity of steel or aluminum needed 
either within eight weeks, or if after eight weeks, by a date which is 
earlier than the named foreign supplier would deliver the entire 
quantity of the requested product. It is incumbent on both the exclusion 
requester, and objecting producers, to provide supplemental evidence 
supporting their claimed delivery times. This requirement includes 
specifying in writing to Department of Commerce as part of the 
objection, the timeline the objector anticipates in order to start or 
restart production of the steel included in the exclusion request to 
which it is objecting. For example, a summary timeline that specifies 
the steps that will occur over the weeks needed to produce that steel or 
aluminum would be helpful to include, not only for the Department of 
Commerce review of the objection, but also for the requester of the 
exclusion and its determination whether to file a rebuttal to the 
objection. The U.S. Department of Commerce understands that, in certain 
cases, regulatory approvals, such as from the Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) or some approvals at the state or local level, may be 
required to start or restart production and that some of these types of 
approvals may be outside the control of an objector.
    (e) Limitations on the size of submissions. Each exclusion request 
and each objection to a submitted exclusion request is to be limited to 
a maximum of 5,000 words, inclusive of all exhibits and attachments, but 
exclusive of the respective forms and any CBI provided to the U.S. 
Department of Commerce. Each attachment to a submission must be less 
than 10 MB.
    (f) Rebuttal process. Only individuals or organizations that have 
submitted an exclusion request pursuant to this supplement may submit a 
rebuttal to any objection(s) posted in the 232 Exclusions Portal 
(https://www.commerce.gov/page/section- 232-investigations). The 
objections to submitted exclusion requests process identified under 
paragraph (d) of this supplement already establish a formal response 
process for steel and aluminum manufacturers in the United States.
    (1) Identification of rebuttals. When submitting a rebuttal, the 
individual or organization that submitted the exclusion request will 
access the rebuttal form by scrolling to the bottom of the objection 
form and then filling out the web-based form for submitting their 
rebuttal to the objection in the 232 Exclusions Portal (https://
www.commerce.gov/page/section- 232-investigations).
    (2) Format and size limitations for rebuttals. Similar to the 
exclusions process identified under paragraph (c) of this supplement and 
the objection process identified under paragraph (d) of this supplement, 
the rebuttal process requires the submission of a government form as 
specified in paragraph (b)(3) of this supplement. Each rebuttal is to be 
limited to a maximum of 2,500 words, inclusive of all exhibits and 
attachments, but exclusive of the rebuttal form and any CBI provided to 
the U.S. Department of Commerce. Each attachment to a submission must be 
less than 10 MB.
    (3) Substance of rebuttals. Rebuttals must address an objection to 
the exclusion request made by the requester. If multiple objections were 
received on a particular exclusion, the requester may submit a rebuttal 
to each objector. The most effective rebuttals will be those that aim to 
correct factual errors or misunderstandings in the objection(s).
    (4) Time limit for submitting rebuttals. The rebuttal period begins 
on the date the Department opens the rebuttal period after the posting 
of the last objection in the 232 Exclusions Portal. The rebuttal period 
ends seven days after the rebuttal comment period is opened. This seven-
day rebuttal period allows for the individual or organization that 
submitted an exclusion request pursuant to this supplement to submit any 
written rebuttals that it believes are warranted.

[[Page 138]]

    (g) Surrebuttal process. Only individuals or organizations that have 
a posted objection to a submitted exclusion request pursuant to this 
supplement may submit a surrebuttal to a rebuttal (see paragraph (f) of 
this supplement) posted to their objection to an exclusion request in 
the 232 Exclusions Portal (https://www.commerce.gov/page/section- 232-
investigations).
    (1) Identification of surrebuttals. When submitting a surrebuttal, 
the individual or organization that submitted the objection will access 
the surrebuttal form by scrolling to the bottom of the rebuttal form and 
then filling out the web-based form for submitting their surrebuttal to 
the rebuttal in the 232 Exclusions Portal (https://www.commerce.gov/
page/section- 232-investigations).
    (2) Format and size limitations for surrebuttals. Similar to the 
exclusions process identified under paragraph (c) of this supplement, 
the objection process identified under paragraph (d) of this supplement, 
and the rebuttal process identified under paragraph (f) of this 
supplement, the surrebuttal process requires the submission of a 
government form as specified in paragraph (b)(4) of this supplement. The 
surrebuttal must be submitted in the 232 Exclusions Portal. Each 
surrebuttal is to be limited to a maximum of 2,500 words, inclusive of 
all exhibits and attachments, but exclusive of the surrebuttal form and 
any CBI provided to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Each attachment to 
a submission must be less than 10 MB.
    (3) Substance of surrebuttals. Surrebuttals must address a rebuttal 
to an objection to the exclusion request made by the requester. The most 
effective surrebuttals will be those that aim to correct factual errors 
or misunderstandings in the rebuttal to an objection.
    (4) Time limit for submitting surrebuttals. The surrebuttal period 
begins on the date the Department opens the surrebuttal comment period 
after the posting of the last rebuttal to an objection to an exclusion 
request in the 232 Exclusions Portal. The surrebuttal period ends seven 
days after the surrebuttal comment period is opened. This seven-day 
surrebuttal period allows for the individual or organization that 
submitted an objection to a submitted exclusion request pursuant to this 
supplement to submit any written surrebuttals that it believes are 
warranted to respond to a rebuttal.
    (h) Disposition of 232 submissions--(1) Disposition of incomplete 
submissions. (i) Exclusion requests that do not satisfy the requirements 
specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this supplement will be rejected.
    (ii) Objection filings that do not satisfy the requirements 
specified in paragraphs (b) and (d) will not be considered.
    (iii) Rebuttal filings that do not satisfy the requirements 
specified in paragraphs (b) and (f) will not be considered.
    (iv) Surrebuttal filings that do not satisfy the requirements 
specified in paragraphs (b) and (g) will not be considered.
    (2) Disposition of complete submissions--(i) Posting of responses in 
the 232 Exclusions Portal. The U.S. Department of Commerce will post 
responses (decision memos) in the 232 Exclusions Portal to each 
exclusion request. The U.S. Department of Commerce response to an 
exclusion request will also be responsive to any of the objection(s), 
rebuttal(s) and surrebuttal(s) for that submitted exclusion request 
submitted through the 232 Exclusions Portal.
    (ii) Streamlined review process for ``No Objection'' requests. The 
U.S. Department of Commerce will grant properly filed exclusion requests 
which meet the requisite criteria, receive no objections, and present no 
national security concerns. If an exclusion request's 30-day comment 
period in the 232 Exclusions Portal has expired and no objections have 
been submitted, BIS will immediately assess the request for any national 
security concerns. If BIS identifies no national security concerns, it 
will post a decision granting the exclusion request in the 232 
Exclusions Portal.
    (iii) Effective date for approved exclusions and date used for 
calculating duty refunds--(A) Effective date for approved exclusions. 
Approved exclusions will be effective five business days after 
publication of the U.S. Department of Commerce response granting an 
exclusion in the 232 Exclusions Portal. Starting on that date, the 
requester will be able to rely upon the approved exclusion request in 
calculating the duties owed on the product imported in accordance with 
the terms listed in the approved exclusion request. Companies are able 
to receive retroactive relief on granted requests dating back to the 
date of the request's submission on unliquidated entries.
    (B) Contact for obtaining duty refunds. The U.S. Department of 
Commerce does not provide refunds on tariffs. Any questions on the 
refund of duties should be directed to CBP.
    (iv) Validity period for exclusion requests. Exclusions will 
generally be approved for one year from the date of the signature on the 
decision memo, but may be valid for shorter or longer than one year 
depending on the specifics of the exclusion request; any objections 
filed; and analysis by the U.S. Department of Commerce and other parts 
of the U.S. Government, as warranted, of the current supply and demand 
in the United States, including any limitations or other factors that 
the Department determines should be considered in order to achieve the 
national security objectives of the duties and quantitative limitations.
    (A) Examples of what fact patterns may warrant a longer exclusion 
validity period. Individuals or organizations submitting exclusion

[[Page 139]]

requests or objections may, and are encouraged to specify how long they 
believe an exclusion may be warranted and specify the rationale for that 
recommended time period. For example, an individual or organization 
submitting an exclusion request may request a longer validity period if 
there are factors outside of their control that may make it warranted to 
grant a longer period. These factors may include regulatory requirements 
that make a longer validity period justified, e.g., for an aircraft 
manufacturer that would require a certain number of years to make a 
change to an FAA-approved type certificate or for a manufacturer of 
medical items to obtain FDA approval. Business considerations, such as 
the need for a multi-year contract for steel with strict delivery 
schedules in order to complete a significant U.S. project by an 
established deadline, e.g., a large scale oil and gas exploration 
project, is another illustrative example of the types of considerations 
that a person submitting an exclusion request may reference.
    (B) Examples of what criteria may warrant a shorter exclusion 
validity period. Objectors are encouraged to provide their suggestions 
for how long they believe an appropriate validity period should be for 
an exclusion request. In certain cases, this may be an objector 
indicating it has committed to adding new capacity that will be coming 
online within six months, so a shorter six-month period is warranted. 
Conversely, if an objector knows it will take two years to obtain 
appropriate regulatory approvals, financing and/or completing 
construction to add new capacity, the objector may, in responding to an 
exclusion that requests a longer validity period, e.g., three years, 
indicate that although they agree a longer validity period than one year 
may be warranted in this case, that two years is sufficient.
    (C) None of the illustrative fact patterns identified in paragraphs 
(h)(2)(iv)(A) or (B) of this supplement will be determinative in and of 
themselves for establishing the appropriate validity period, but this 
type of information is helpful for the U.S. Department of Commerce to 
receive, when warranted, to help determine the appropriate validity 
period if a period other than one year is requested.
    (3) Review period and implementation of any needed conforming 
changes--(i) Review period. The review period normally will not exceed 
106 days for requests that receive objections, including adjudication of 
objections submitted on exclusion requests and any rebuttals to 
objections, and surrebuttals. The estimated 106-day period begins on the 
day the exclusion request is posted in the 232 Exclusions Portal, and 
ends once a decision to grant or deny is made on the exclusion request.
    (ii) Coordination with other agencies on approval and 
implementation. Other agencies of the U.S. Government, such as CBP, will 
take any additional steps needed to implement an approved exclusion 
request. These additional steps needed to implement an approved 
exclusion request are not part of the review criteria used by the U.S. 
Department of Commerce to determine whether to approve an exclusion 
request, but are an important component in ensuring the approved 
exclusion request can be properly implemented. The U.S. Department of 
Commerce will provide CBP with information that will identify each 
approved exclusion request pursuant to this supplement. Individuals or 
organizations whose exclusion requests are approved must report 
information concerning any applicable exclusion in such form as CBP may 
require. These exclusion identifiers will be used by importers in the 
data collected by CBP in order for CBP to determine whether an import is 
within the scope of an approved exclusion request.

supplement, you may contact the Director, Industrial Studies, Office of 
Technology Evaluation, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department 
of Commerce, at (202) 482-5642 or [email protected] regarding steel 
exclusion requests, or at (202) 482-4757 or [email protected] 
regarding aluminum exclusion requests. The U.S. Department of Commerce 
website includes FAQs, best practices other companies have used for 
submitting exclusion requests and objections, and helpful checklists. 
The U.S. Department of Commerce has also included a manual providing 
instruction on the 232 Exclusions Portal for exclusion requests 
submitted on or after June 13, 2019, titled 232 Exclusions Portal 
Comprehensive Guide (``232 Exclusions Guide'') and posted online at 
(https://www.commerce.gov/page/section- 232-investigations) to assist 
your understanding when making 232 submissions in the 232 Exclusions 
Portal.

 Sec. Supplement No. 2 to Part 705--General Approved Exclusions (GAEs) 
           for Steel Articles Under the 232 Exclusions Process

    This supplement identifies steel articles that have been approved 
for import under a General Approved Exclusion (GAE). The Secretary of 
Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary 
of the Treasury, the Secretary of State, the United States Trade 
Representative, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the 
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and other 
senior Executive Branch officials as appropriate, makes these 
determinations that certain steel articles may be authorized under a GAE 
consistent with the objectives of the 232

[[Page 140]]

Exclusions Process as outlined in supplement no. 1 to this part. The 
GAEs described in this supplement may be used by any importer. GAEs do 
not include quantity limits. Each GAE identifier will be effective 
fifteen calendar days after publication of a Federal Register notice 
either adding or revising a specific GAE identifier. There is no 
retroactive relief for GAEs. Relief is only available to steel articles 
that are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for 
consumption, on or after the effective date of a GAE included in 
supplement no. 2 to this part. In order to use a GAE, the importer must 
include the GAE identifier in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) 
system that corresponds to the steel articles being imported. These GAEs 
are indefinite in length, but the Department of Commerce on behalf of 
the Secretary of Commerce may at any time issue a Federal Register 
notice removing, revising or adding to an existing GAE in this 
supplement as warranted to align with the objectives of the 232 
exclusions process as described in supplement no. 1 to this part. The 
Department of Commerce on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce may 
periodically publish notices of inquiry in the Federal Register 
soliciting public comments on potential removals, revisions or additions 
to this supplement.

[85 FR 81079, Dec. 14, 2020]



 Sec. Supplement No. 3 to Part 705--General Approved Exclusions (GAEs) 
         for Aluminum Articles Under the 232 Exclusions Process

    This supplement identifies aluminum articles that have been approved 
for import under a General Approved Exclusion (GAE). The Secretary of 
Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary 
of the Treasury, the Secretary of State, the United States Trade 
Representative, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the 
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and other 
senior Executive Branch officials as appropriate, makes these 
determinations that certain aluminum articles may be authorized under a 
GAE consistent with the objectives of the 232 exclusions process as 
outlined in supplement no. 1 to this part. The GAEs described in this 
supplement may be used by any importer. GAEs do not include quantity 
limits. Each GAE identifier will be effective fifteen calendar days 
after publication of a Federal Register notice either adding or revising 
a specific GAE identifier. There is no retroactive relief for GAEs. 
Relief is only available to aluminum articles that are entered

[[Page 150]]

for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or 
after the effective date of a GAE included in supplement no. 2 to this 
part. In order to use a GAE, the importer must reference the GAE 
identifier in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system that 
corresponds to the aluminum articles being imported. These GAEs are 
indefinite in length, but the Department of Commerce on behalf of the 
Secretary of Commerce may at any time issue a Federal Register notice 
removing, revising or adding to an existing GAE in this supplement as 
warranted to align with the objectives of the 232 exclusions process as 
described in supplement no. 1 to this part. The Department of Commerce 
on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce may periodically publish notices 
of inquiry in the Federal Register soliciting public comments on 
potential removals, revisions or additions to this supplement.

Sec.710.2  Scope of the CWCR.

    The Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations (parts 710 through 729 
of this subchapter), or CWCR, implement certain obligations of the 
United States under the Convention on the Prohibition of the 
Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on 
Their Destruction, known as the CWC or Convention.
    (a) Persons and facilities subject to the CWCR. (1) The CWCR apply 
to all persons and facilities located in the United States, except the 
following U.S. Government facilities:
    (i) Department of Defense facilities;
    (ii) Department of Energy facilities; and
    (iii) Facilities of other U.S. Government agencies that notify the 
USNA of their decision to be excluded from the CWCR.
    (2) For purposes of the CWCR, ``United States Government 
facilities'' are those facilities owned and operated by a U.S. 
Government agency (including those operated by contractors to the 
agency), and those facilities leased to and operated by a U.S. 
Government agency (including those operated by contractors to the 
agency). ``United States Government facilities'' do not include 
facilities owned by a U.S. Government agency and leased to a private 
company or other entity such that the private company or entity may 
independently decide for what purposes to use the facilities.
    (b) Activities subject to the CWCR. The activities subject to the 
CWCR (parts 710 through 729 of this subchapter) are activities, 
including production, processing, consumption, exports and imports, 
involving chemicals further described in parts 712 through 715 of the 
CWCR. These do not include activities involving inorganic chemicals 
other than those listed in the Schedules of Chemicals, or other 
specifically exempted unscheduled discrete organic chemicals.



Sec.710.3  Purposes of the Convention and CWCR.

    (a) Purposes of the Convention. (1) The Convention imposes upon the 
United States, as a State Party, certain declaration, inspection, and 
other obligations. In addition, the United States

[[Page 157]]

and other States Parties to the Convention undertake never under any 
circumstances to:
    (i) Develop, produce, otherwise acquire, stockpile, or retain 
chemical weapons, or transfer, directly or indirectly, chemical weapons 
to anyone;
    (ii) Use chemical weapons;
    (iii) Engage in any military preparations to use chemical weapons; 
or
    (iv) Assist, encourage or induce, in any way, anyone to engage in 
any activity prohibited by the Convention.
    (2) One objective of the Convention is to assure States Parties that 
lawful activities of chemical producers and users are not converted to 
unlawful activities related to chemical weapons. To achieve this 
objective and to give States Parties a mechanism to verify compliance, 
the Convention requires the United States and all other States Parties 
to submit declarations concerning chemical production, consumption, 
processing and other activities, and to permit international inspections 
within their borders.
    (b) Purposes of the Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations. To 
fulfill the United States' obligations under the Convention, the CWCR 
(parts 710 through 729 of this subchapter) prohibit certain activities, 
and compel the submission of information from all facilities in the 
United States, except for Department of Defense and Department of Energy 
facilities and facilities of other U.S. Government agencies that notify 
the USNA of their decision to be excluded from the CWCR on activities, 
including exports and imports of scheduled chemicals and certain 
information regarding unscheduled discrete organic chemicals as 
described in parts 712 through 715 of the CWCR. U.S. Government 
facilities are those owned by or leased to the U.S. Government, 
including facilities that are contractor-operated. The CWCR also require 
access for on-site inspections and monitoring by the OPCW, as described 
in parts 716 and 717 of the CWCR.



Sec.710.4  Overview of scheduled chemicals and examples of affected
industries.

    The following provides examples of the types of industries that may 
be affected by the CWCR (parts 710 through 729 of this subchapter). 
These examples are not exhaustive, and you should refer to parts 712 
through 715 of the CWCR to determine your obligations.
    (a) Schedule 1 chemicals are listed in supplement no. 1 to part 712 
of the CWCR. Schedule 1 chemicals have little or no use in industrial 
and agricultural industries, but may have limited use for research, 
pharmaceutical, medical, public health, or protective purposes.
    (b) Schedule 2 chemicals are listed in supplement no. 1 to part 713 
of the CWCR. Although Schedule 2 chemicals may be useful in the 
production of chemical weapons, they also have legitimate uses in areas 
such as:
    (1) Flame retardant additives and research;
    (2) Dye and photographic industries (e.g., printing ink, ball point 
pen fluids, copy mediums, paints, etc.);
    (3) Medical and pharmaceutical preparation (e.g., anticholinergics, 
arsenicals, tranquilizer preparations);
    (4) Metal plating preparations;
    (5) Epoxy resins; and
    (6) Insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, defoliants, and 
rodenticides.
    (c) Schedule 3 chemicals are listed in supplement no. 1 to part 714 
of the CWCR. Although Schedule 3 chemicals may be useful in the 
production of chemical weapons, they also have legitimate uses in areas 
such as:
    (1) The production of:
    (i) Resins;
    (ii) Plastics;
    (iii) Pharmaceuticals;
    (iv) Pesticides;
    (v) Batteries;
    (vi) Cyanic acid;
    (vii) Toiletries, including perfumes and scents;
    (viii) Organic phosphate esters (e.g., hydraulic fluids, flame 
retardants, surfactants, and sequestering agents); and
    (2) Leather tannery and finishing supplies.
    (d) Unscheduled discrete organic chemicals are used in a wide 
variety of commercial industries, and include acetone, benzoyl peroxide 
and propylene glycol.

[[Page 158]]



Sec.710.5  Authority.

    The CWCR (parts 710 through 729 of this subchapter) implement 
certain provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention under the 
authority of the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 1998 
(Act), the National Emergencies Act, the International Emergency 
Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), as amended, and the Export Administration 
Act of 1979, as amended, by extending verification and trade restriction 
requirements under Article VI and related parts of the Verification 
Annex of the Convention to U.S. persons. In Executive Order 13128 of 
June 25, 1999, the President delegated authority to the Department of 
Commerce to promulgate regulations to implement the Act, and consistent 
with the Act, to carry out appropriate functions not otherwise assigned 
in the Act but necessary to implement certain reporting, monitoring and 
inspection requirements of the Convention and the Act.



Sec.710.6  Relationship between the Chemical Weapons Convention
Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations, the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and the Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives Regulations.
          

    Certain obligations of the U.S. Government under the CWC pertain to 
exports and imports. The obligations on exports are implemented in the 
Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR parts 730 through 774) 
and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR parts 
120 through 130). See in particular Sec. Sec.742.2 and 742.18 and part 
745 of the EAR, and Export Control Classification Numbers 1C350, 1C351, 
1C355 and 1C395 of the Commerce Control List (supplement no. 1 to part 
774 of the EAR). The obligations on imports are implemented in the 
Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations (Sec. Sec.712.2 and 713.1) and 
the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Regulations in 27 CFR part 
447.

Sec.711.1  Overviews of declaration, reporting, and advance
notification requirements.

    Parts 712 through 715 of the CWCR (parts 710 through 729 of this 
subchapter) describe the declaration, advance notification and reporting 
requirements for Schedule 1, 2 and 3 chemicals and for unscheduled 
discrete organic chemicals (UDOCs). For each type of chemical, the 
Convention requires annual declarations. If, after reviewing parts 712 
through 715 of the CWCR, you determine that you have declaration, 
advance notification or reporting requirements, you may obtain the 
appropriate forms by contacting the Bureau of Industry and Security 
(BIS) (see Sec.711.6 of the CWCR).



Sec.711.2  Who submits declarations, reports, and advance 
notifications.

    The owner, operator, or senior management official of a facility 
subject to declaration, reporting, or advance notification requirements 
under the CWCR (parts 710 through 729 of this subchapter) is responsible 
for the submission of all required documents in accordance with all 
applicable provisions of the CWCR.



Sec.711.3  Compliance review.

    Periodically, BIS will request information from persons and 
facilities subject to the CWCR to determine compliance with the 
reporting, declaration and notification requirements set forth herein. 
Information requested may relate to the production, processing, 
consumption, export, import, or other activities involving scheduled 
chemicals and unscheduled discrete organic chemicals described in parts 
712 through 715 of the CWCR. Any person or facility subject to the CWCR 
and receiving such a request for information will be required to provide 
a response to BIS within 30 working days of receipt of the request. This 
requirement does not, in itself, impose a requirement to create new 
records or maintain existing records in a manner other than that 
directed by the recordkeeping provisions set forth in part 721 of the 
CWCR.



Sec.711.4  Assistance in determining your obligations.

    (a) Determining if your chemical is subject to declaration, 
reporting or advance notification requirements. (1) If you need 
assistance in determining if your chemical is classified as a Schedule 
1, Schedule 2, or Schedule 3 chemical, or is an unscheduled discrete 
organic chemical, submit your written request for a chemical 
determination to BIS. Such requests must be sent via facsimile to (202) 
482-1731, e-mailed to [email protected], or mailed to the Treaty 
Compliance Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of

Sec.711.5  Numerical precision of submitted data.

    Numerical information submitted in declarations and reports is to be 
provided per applicable rounding rules in each part (i.e., parts 712 
through 715 of the CWCR) with a precision equal to that which can be 
reasonably provided using existing documentation, equipment, and 
measurement techniques.



Sec.711.6  Where to obtain forms.

    (a) Forms to complete declarations and reports required by the CWCR 
may be obtained by contacting: Treaty Compliance Division, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 4515, 14th

must be sent either by fax to (202) 482-1731 or by mail or courier 
delivery to the following address: Treaty Compliance Division, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 4515, 14th 
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, Telephone: 
(202) 482-1001. Specific types of declarations and reports and due dates 
are outlined in supplement no. 2 to parts 712 through 715 of the CWCR.

[73 FR 78182, Dec. 22, 2008]



Sec.711.8  How to request authorization from BIS to make electronic
submissions of declarations or reports.

    (a) Scope. This section provides an optional method of submitting 
declarations or reports. Specifically, this section applies to the 
electronic submission of declarations and reports required under the 
CWCR. If you choose to submit declarations and reports by electronic 
means, all such electronic submissions must be made through the Web-Data 
Entry System for Industry (Web-DESI), which can be accessed on the CWC 
web site at www.cwc.gov.

[[Page 162]]

    (b) Authorization. If you or your company has a facility, plant 
site, or trading company that has been assigned a U.S. Code Number (USC 
Number), you may submit declarations and reports electronically, once 
you have received authorization from BIS to do so. An authorization to 
submit declarations and reports electronically may be limited or 
withdrawn by BIS at any time. There are no prerequisites for obtaining 
permission to submit electronically, nor are there any limitations with 
regard to the types of declarations or reports that are eligible for 
electronic submission. However, BIS may direct, for any reason, that any 
electronic declaration or report be resubmitted in writing, either in 
whole or in part.
    (1) Requesting approval to submit declarations and reports 
electronically. To submit declarations and reports electronically, you 
or your company must submit a written request to BIS at the address 
identified in Sec.711.6 of the CWCR. Both the envelope and letter must 
be marked, ``ATTN: Electronic Declaration or Report Request.'' Your 
request should be on company letterhead and must contain your name or 
the company's name, your mailing address at the company, the name of the 
facility, plant site or trading company and its U.S. Code Number, the 
address of the facility, plant site or trading company (this address may 
be different from the mailing address), the list of persons who are 
authorized to view, edit, and/or submit declarations and reports on 
behalf of your company, and the telephone number and name and title of 
the owner, operator, or senior management official responsible for 
certifying that each person listed in the request is authorized to view, 
edit, and/or submit declarations and reports on behalf of you or your 
company (i.e., the certifying official). Additional information required 
for submitting electronic declarations and reports may be found on BIS's 
Web site at www.cwc.gov. Once you have completed and submitted the 
necessary certifications, BIS will review your request for authorization 
to view, edit, and/or submit declarations and reports electronically. 
BIS will notify you if additional information is required and/or upon 
completion of its review.

    Note to Sec.711.8(b)(1): You must submit a separate request for 
each facility, plant site or trading company owned by your company 
(e.g., each site that is assigned a unique U.S. Code Number).

    (2) Assignment and use of passwords for facilities, plant sites and 
trading companies (USC password) and Web-DESI user accounts (user name 
and password). (i) Each person, facility, plant site or trading company 
authorized to submit declarations and reports electronically will be 
assigned a password (USC password) that must be used in conjunction with 
the U.S.C. Number. Each person authorized by BIS to view, edit, and/or 
submit declarations and reports electronically for a facility, plant 
site or trading company will be assigned a Web-DESI user account (user 
name and password) telephonically by BIS. A Web-DESI user account will 
be assigned to you only if your company has certified to BIS that you 
are authorized to act for it in viewing, editing, and/or submitting 
electronic declarations and reports under the CWCR.

    Note to Sec.711.8(b)(2)(i): When persons must have access to 
multiple Web-DESI accounts, their companies must identify such persons 
on the approval request for each of these Web-DESI accounts. BIS will 
coordinate with such persons to ensure that the assigned user name and 
password is the same for each account.

    (ii) Your company may reveal the facility, plant site or trading 
company password (USC password) only to Web-DESI users with valid 
passwords, their supervisors, and employees or agents of the company 
with a commercial justification for knowing the password.
    (iii) If you are an authorized Web-DESI account user, you may not:
    (A) Disclose your user name or password to anyone;
    (B) Record your user name or password, either in writing or 
electronically;
    (C) Authorize another person to use your user name or password; or
    (D) Use your user name or password following termination, either by 
BIS or by your company, of your authorization or approval for Web-DESI 
use.
    (iv) To prevent misuse of the Web-DESI account:

[[Page 163]]

    (A) If Web-DESI user account information (i.e., user name and 
password) is lost, stolen or otherwise compromised, the company and the 
user must report the loss, theft or compromise of the user account 
information, immediately, by calling BIS at (202) 482-1001. Within two 
business days of making the report, the company and the user must submit 
written confirmation to BIS at the address provided in Sec.711.6 of 
the CWCR.
    (B) Your company is responsible for immediately notifying BIS 
whenever a Web-DESI user leaves the employ of the company or otherwise 
ceases to be authorized by the company to submit declarations and 
reports electronically on its behalf.
    (v) No person may use, copy, appropriate or otherwise compromise a 
Web-DESI account user name or password assigned to another person. No 
person, except a person authorized access by the company, may use or 
copy the facility, plant site or trading company password (USC 
password), nor may any person steal or otherwise compromise this 
password.
    (c) Electronic submission of declarations and reports--(1) General 
instructions. Upon submission of the required certifications and 
approval of the company's request to use electronic submission, BIS will 
provide instructions on both the method for transmitting declarations 
and reports electronically and the process for submitting required 
supporting documents, if any. These instructions may be modified by BIS 
from time to time.
    (2) Declarations and reports. The electronic submission of a 
declaration or report will constitute an official document as required 
under parts 712 through 715 of the CWCR. Such submissions must provide 
the same information as written declarations and reports and are subject 
to the recordkeeping provisions of part 720 of the CWCR. The company and 
Web-DESI user submitting the declaration or report will be deemed to 
have made all representations and certifications as if the submission 
were made in writing by the company and signed by the certifying 
official. Electronic submission of a declaration or report will be 
considered complete upon transmittal to BIS.
    (d) Updating. A company approved for electronic submission of 
declarations or reports under Web-DESI must promptly notify BIS of any 
change in its name, ownership or address. If your company wishes to have 
a person added as a Web-DESI user, your company must inform BIS and 
follow the instructions provided by BIS. Your company should conduct 
periodic reviews to ensure that the company's designated certifying 
official and Web-DESI users are persons whose current responsibilities 
make it necessary and appropriate that they act for the company in 
either capacity.

    (1) The import is from a State Party;
    (2) The import is for research, medical, pharmaceutical, or 
protective purposes;
    (3) The import is in types and quantities strictly limited to those 
that can be justified for such purposes; and
    (4) You have notified BIS at least 45 calendar days prior to the 
import, pursuant to Sec.712.6 of the CWCR.

    Note 1 to Sec.712.2(b): Pursuant to Sec.712.6, advance 
notifications of import of saxitoxin of 5 milligrams or less for 
medical/diagnostic purposes must be submitted to BIS at least 3 days 
prior to import.
    Note 2 to Sec.712.2(b): For specific provisions relating to the 
prior advance notification of exports of all Schedule 1 chemicals, see 
Sec.745.1 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR parts 
730 through 774). For specific provisions relating to license 
requirements for exports of Schedule 1 chemicals, see Sec.742.2 and 
Sec.742.18 of the EAR for Schedule 1 chemicals subject to the 
jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce and see the International 
Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR parts 120 through 130) for Schedule 
1 chemicals subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of State.

[71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, as amended at 73 FR 78183, Dec. 22, 2008]



Sec.712.3  Initial declaration requirements for declared facilities
which are engaged in the production of Schedule 1 chemicals for
purposes not prohibited by 
          the CWC.

    Initial declarations submitted in February 2000 remain valid until 
amended or rescinded. If you plan to change/amend the technical 
description of your facility submitted with your initial declaration, 
you must submit an amended initial declaration to BIS 200 calendar days 
prior to implementing the change (see Sec.712.5(b)(1)(ii) of the 
CWCR).



Sec.712.4  New Schedule 1 production facility.

    (a) Establishment of a new Schedule 1 production facility. (1) If 
your facility has never before been declared under Sec.712.5 of the 
CWCR, or the initial declaration for your facility has been withdrawn 
pursuant to Sec.712.5(g) of the CWCR, and you intend to begin 
production of Schedule 1 chemicals at your facility in quantities 
greater than 100 grams aggregate per year for research, medical, or 
pharmaceutical purposes, you must provide an initial declaration (with a 
current detailed technical description of your facility) to BIS in no 
less than 200 calendar days in advance of commencing such production. 
Such facilities are considered to be ``new Schedule 1 production 
facilities'' and are subject to an initial inspection within 200 
calendar days of submitting an initial declaration.
    (2) New Schedule 1 production facilities that submit an initial 
declaration

[[Page 165]]

pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of this section are considered approved 
Schedule 1 production facilities for purposes of the CWC, unless 
otherwise notified by BIS within 30 days of receipt by BIS of that 
initial declaration.
    (b) Types of declaration forms required. If your new Schedule 1 
production facility will produce in excess of 100 grams aggregate of 
Schedule 1 chemicals, you must complete the Certification Form, Form 1-1 
and Form A. You must also provide a detailed technical description of 
the new facility or its relevant parts, and a detailed diagram of the 
declared areas in the facility.
    (c) Two hundred days after a new Schedule 1 production facility 
submits its initial declaration, it is subject to the declaration 
requirements in Sec.712.5(a)(1) and (a)(2) and Sec.712.5(b)(1)(ii) 
of the CWCR.



Sec.712.5  Annual declaration requirements for facilities engaged in
the production of Schedule 1 chemicals for purposes not prohibited
by the CWC.

    (a) Declaration requirements--(1) Annual declaration on past 
activities. You must complete the forms specified in paragraph (b)(2) of 
this section if you produced at your facility in excess of 100 grams 
aggregate of Schedule 1 chemicals in the previous calendar year. As a 
declared Schedule 1 facility, in addition to declaring the production of 
each Schedule 1 chemical that comprises your aggregate production of 
Schedule 1 chemicals, you must also declare any Schedule 1, Schedule 2, 
or Schedule 3 precursor used to produce the declared Schedule 1 
chemical. You must further declare each Schedule 1 chemical used 
(consumed) and stored at your facility, and domestically transferred 
from your facility during the previous calendar year, whether or not you 
produced that Schedule 1 chemical at your facility.
    (2) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. You must complete 
the forms specified in paragraph (b)(3) of this section if you 
anticipate that you will produce at your facility more than 100 grams 
aggregate of Schedule 1 chemicals in the next calendar year. If you are 
not already a declared facility, you must complete an initial 
declaration (see Sec.712.4 of the CWCR) 200 calendar days before 
commencing operations or increasing production which will result in 
production of more than 100 grams aggregate of Schedule 1 chemicals.
    (b) Declaration forms to be used--(1) Initial declaration. (i) You 
must have completed the Certification Form, Form 1-1 and Form A if you 
produced at your facility in excess of 100 grams aggregate of Schedule 1 
chemicals in calendar years 1997, 1998, or 1999. You must have provided 
a detailed current technical description of your facility or its 
relevant parts including a narrative statement, and a detailed diagram 
of the declared areas in the facility.
    (ii) If you plan to change the technical description of your 
facility from your initial declaration completed and submitted pursuant 
to Sec.712.3 or Sec.712.4 of the CWCR, you must submit an amended 
initial declaration to BIS 200 calendar days prior to the change. Such 
amendments to your initial declaration must be made by completing a 
Certification Form, Form 1-1 and Form A, including the new description 
of the facility. See Sec.712.7 of the CWCR for additional instructions 
on amending Schedule 1 declarations.
    (2) Annual declaration on past activities. If you are subject to the 
declaration requirement of paragraph (a)(1) of this section, you must 
complete the Certification Form and Forms 1-1, 1-2, 1-2A, 1-2B, and Form 
A if your facility was involved in the production of Schedule 1 
chemicals in the previous calendar year. Form B is optional.
    (3) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. If you anticipate 
that you will produce at your facility in excess of 100 grams aggregate 
of Schedule 1 chemicals in the next calendar year you must complete the 
Certification Form and Forms 1-1, 1-4, and Form A. Form B is optional.
    (c) Quantities to be declared. If you produced in excess of 100 
grams aggregate of Schedule 1 chemicals in the previous calendar year, 
you must declare the entire quantity of such production, rounded to the 
nearest gram. You must also declare the quantity of any Schedule 1, 
Schedule 2 or Schedule 3 precursor used to produce the declared Schedule 
1 chemical, rounded to

[[Page 166]]

the nearest gram. You must further declare the quantity of each Schedule 
1 chemical consumed or stored by, or domestically transferred from, your 
facility, whether or not the Schedule 1 chemical was produced by your 
facility, rounded to the nearest gram. In calculating the amount of 
Schedule 1 chemical you produced, consumed or stored, count only the 
amount of the Schedule 1 chemical(s) in a mixture, not the total weight 
of the mixture (i.e., do not count the weight of the solution, solvent, 
or container).
    (d) For the purpose of determining if a Schedule 1 chemical is 
subject to declaration, you must declare a Schedule 1 chemical that is 
an intermediate, but not a transient intermediate.
    (e) ``Declared'' Schedule 1 facilities and routine inspections. Only 
facilities that submitted a declaration pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) or 
(a)(2) of this section or Sec.712.4 of the CWCR are considered 
``declared'' Schedule 1 facilities. A ``declared'' Schedule 1 facility 
is subject to initial and routine inspection by the OPCW (see part 716 
of the CWCR).
    (f) Approval of declared Schedule 1 production facilities. 
Facilities that submit declarations pursuant to this section are 
considered approved Schedule 1 production facilities for purposes of the 
CWC, unless otherwise notified by BIS within 30 days of receipt by BIS 
of an annual declaration on past activities or annual declaration on 
anticipated activities (see paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this 
section). If your facility does not produce more than 100 grams 
aggregate of Schedule 1 chemicals, no approval by BIS is required.
    (g) Withdrawal of Schedule 1 initial declarations. A facility 
subject to Sec. Sec.712.3, 712.4 and 712.5 of the CWCR may withdraw 
its initial declaration at any time by notifying BIS in writing. A 
notification requesting the withdrawal of the initial declaration should 
be sent on company letterhead to the address in Sec.711.6 of the CWCR. 
BIS will acknowledge receipt of the withdrawal of the initial 
declaration. Facilities withdrawing their initial declaration may not 
produce subsequently in excess of 100 grams aggregate of Schedule 1 
chemicals within a calendar year unless pursuant to Sec.712.4.



Sec.712.6  Advance notification and annual report of all exports 
and imports of Schedule 1 chemicals to, or from, other States Parties.

    Pursuant to the Convention, the United States is required to notify 
the OPCW not less than 30 days in advance of every export or import of a 
Schedule 1 chemical, in any quantity, to or from another State Party. In 
addition, the United States is required to provide a report of all 
exports and imports of Schedule 1 chemicals to or from other States 
Parties during each calendar year. If you plan to export or import any 
quantity of a Schedule 1 chemical from or to your declared facility, 
undeclared facility or trading company, you must notify BIS in advance 
of the export or import and complete an annual report of exports and 
imports that actually occurred during the previous calendar year. The 
United States will transmit to the OPCW the advance notifications and a 
detailed annual declaration of each actual export or import of a 
Schedule 1 chemical from/to the United States. Note that the advance 
notification and annual report requirements of this section do not 
relieve you of any requirement to obtain a license for export of 
Schedule 1 chemicals subject to the EAR or ITAR or a license for import 
of Schedule 1 chemicals from the Department of Justice under the 
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Regulations in 27 CFR part 
447. Only ``declared'' facilities, as defined in Sec.712.5(e) of the 
CWCR, are subject to initial and routine inspections pursuant to part 
716 of the CWCR.
    (a) Advance notification of exports and imports. You must notify BIS 
at least 45 calendar days prior to exporting or importing any quantity 
of a Schedule 1 chemical, except for exports or imports of 5 milligrams

calendar year during which the ownership change occurred, or whether the 
previous owner and new owner will submit separate declarations or 
reports for the periods of the calendar year during which each owned the 
facility or trading company.
    (1) If the new owner is taking responsibility for submitting the 
declaration or report for the entire current year, it must have in its 
possession the records for the period of the year during which the 
previous owner owned the facility.

the new owner must still submit declarations to BIS with the below 
threshold quantities indicated.
    (3) If the part-year declarations submitted by the previous owner 
and the new owner are not, when combined, above the declaration 
threshold set forth in Sec. Sec.712.4 and 712.5 of the CWCR, BIS will 
return the declarations without action as set forth in Sec.712.8 of 
the CWCR.
    (4) If part-year reports are submitted by the previous owner and the 
new owner as required in Sec.712.5 of the CWCR, BIS will submit both 
reports to the OPCW.

    Note 1 to Sec.712.7(c): You must submit an amendment to your most 
recently submitted declaration or report for declaring changes to 
internal company information (e.g., company name change) or changes in 
ownership of a facility or trading company that have occurred since the 
submission of this declaration or report. BIS will process the amendment 
to ensure current information is on file regarding the facility or 
trading company (e.g., for inspection notifications and

[[Page 170]]

correspondence) and will also forward the amended declaration to the 
OPCW to ensure that they also have current information on file regarding 
your facility or trading company.
    Note 2 to Sec.712.7(c): You may notify BIS of change in ownership 
via a letter to the address given in Sec.711.6 of the CWCR. If you are 
submitting an amended declaration or report, use Form B to address 
details regarding the sale of the declared facility or trading company.
    Note 3 to Sec.712.7(c): For ownership changes, the declared 
facility or trading company will maintain its original U.S. Code Number,

inspection (see parts 716 and 717 of the CWCR), you are required to 
submit an amended declaration based on the final inspection report, BIS 
will notify you in writing of the information that will be required 
pursuant to Sec. Sec.716.10 and 717.5 of the CWCR. You must submit an 
amended declaration to BIS no later than 45 days following your receipt 
of the BIS post-inspection letter.
    (e) Non-substantive changes. If, subsequent to the submission of 
your declaration or report to BIS, you discover one or more non-
substantive typographical errors in your declaration or report, you are 
not required to submit an amended declaration or report to BIS. Instead, 
you may correct these errors in a subsequent declaration or report.
    (f) Documentation required for amended declarations or reports. If 
you are required to submit an amended declaration or report to BIS 
pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c), or (d) of this section, you must 
submit either:
    (1) A letter containing all of the corrected information required, 
in accordance with the provisions of this section, to amend your 
declaration or report; or
    (2) Both of the following:

Sec.713.1  Prohibition on exports and imports of Schedule 2 chemicals 
to and from States not Party to the CWC.

    (a) You may not export any Schedule 2 chemical (see supplement no. 1 
to this part) to any destination or import any Schedule 2 chemical from 
any destination other than a State Party to the Convention. See 
supplement no. 1 to part 710 of the CWCR for a list of States that are 
party to the Convention.

    Note to Sec.713.1(a): See Sec.742.18 of the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR part 742) for prohibitions that 
apply to exports of Schedule 2 chemicals to States not Party to the CWC.

    (b) Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to:
    (1) The export or import of a Schedule 2 chemical to or from a State 
not Party to the CWC by a department, agency, or other entity of the 
United States, or by any person, including a member of the Armed Forces 
of the United States, who is authorized by law, or by an appropriate 
officer of the United States to transfer or receive the Schedule 2 
chemical;
    (2) Mixtures containing Schedule 2A chemicals, if the concentration 
of each Schedule 2A chemical in the mixture is 1% or less by weight 
(note, however, that such mixtures may be subject to the regulatory 
requirements of other federal agencies);
    (3) Mixtures containing Schedule 2B chemicals if the concentration 
of each Schedule 2B chemical in the mixture is 10% or less by weight 
(note, however, that such mixtures may be subject to the regulatory 
requirements of other federal agencies); or
    (4) Products identified as consumer goods packaged for retail sale 
for personal use or packaged for individual use.



Sec.713.2  Annual declaration requirements for plant sites that
produce, process or consume Schedule 2 chemicals in excess of specified thresholds.

    (a) Declaration of production, processing or consumption of Schedule 
2 chemicals for purposes not prohibited by

[[Page 173]]

the CWC--(1) Quantities of production, processing or consumption that 
trigger declaration requirements. You must complete the forms specified 
in paragraph (b) of this section if you have been or will be involved in 
the following activities:
    (i) Annual declaration on past activities. (A) You produced, 
processed or consumed at one or more plants on your plant site during 
any of the previous three calendar years, a Schedule 2 chemical in 
excess of any of the following declaration threshold quantities:
    (1) 1 kilogram of chemical BZ: 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate (see 
Schedule 2, paragraph A.3 in supplement no. 1 to this part);
    (2) 100 kilograms of chemical PFIB: 1,1,3,3,3-Pentafluoro-
2(trifluoromethyl)-1-propene or 100 kilograms of chemical Amiton: 0,0-
Diethyl S-[2-(diethylamino) ethyl] phosphorothiolate and corresponding 
alkylated or protonated salts (see Schedule 2, paragraphs A.1 and A.2 in 
supplement no. 1 to this part); or
    (3) 1 metric ton of any chemical listed in Schedule 2, Part B (see 
supplement no. 1 to this part).
    (B) In order to trigger a declaration requirement for a past 
activity (i.e., production, processing or consumption) involving a 
Schedule 2 chemical, a plant on your plant site must have exceeded the 
applicable declaration threshold for that particular activity during one 
or more of the previous three calendar years. For example, if a plant on 
your plant site produced 800 kilograms of thiodiglycol and consumed 300 
kilograms of the same Schedule 2 chemical, during the previous calendar 
year, you would not have a declaration requirement based on these 
activities, because neither activity at your plant would have exceeded 
the declaration threshold of 1 metric ton for that Schedule 2 chemical. 
However, a declaration requirement would apply if an activity involving 
a Schedule 2 chemical at the plant exceeded the declaration threshold in 
an earlier year (i.e., during the course of any other calendar year 
within the past three calendar years), as indicated in the example 
provided in the note to this paragraph.

    Note to Sec.713.2(a)(1)(i)(B): To determine whether or not you 
have an annual declaration on past activities requirement for Schedule 2 
chemicals, you must determine whether you produced, processed or 
consumed a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold at one or 
more plants on your plant site in any one of the three previous calendar 
years. For example, for the 2004 annual declaration on past activities 
period, if you determine that one plant on your plant site produced 
greater than 1 kilogram of the chemical BZ in calendar year 2002, and no 
plants on your plant site produced, processed or consumed any Schedule 2 
chemical above the applicable threshold in calendar years 2003 or 2004, 
you still have a declaration requirement under this paragraph for the 
previous calendar year (2004). However, you must only declare on Form 2-
3 (question 2-3.1), production data for calendar year 2004. You would 
declare ``0'' production because you did not produce BZ above the 
applicable threshold in calendar year 2004. Since the plant site did not 
engage in any other declarable activity (i.e., consumption, processing) 
in the 2002-2004 declaration period, you would leave blank questions 2-
3.2 and 2-3.3 on Form 2-3. Note that declaring a ``0'' production 
quantity for 2004, as opposed to leaving the question blank, permits BIS 
to distinguish the activity that triggered the declaration requirement 
from activities that were not declarable during that period.

    (ii) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. You anticipate 
that you will produce, process or consume at one or more plants on your 
plant site during the next calendar year, a Schedule 2 chemical in 
excess of the applicable declaration threshold set forth in paragraphs 
(a)(1)(i)(A)(1) through (3) of this section.

    Note to Sec.713.2(a)(1)(ii): A null ``0'' declaration is not 
required if you do not plan to produce, process or consume a Schedule 2 
chemical in the next calendar year.

    (2) Schedule 2 chemical production. (i) For the purpose of 
determining Schedule 2 production, you must include all steps in the 
production of a chemical in any units within the same plant through 
chemical reaction, including any associated processes (e.g., 
purification, separation, extraction, distillation, or refining) in 
which the chemical is not converted into another chemical. The exact 
nature of any associated process (e.g., purification, etc.) is not 
required to be declared.

[[Page 174]]

    (ii) For the purpose of determining if a Schedule 2 chemical is 
subject to declaration, you must declare an intermediate Schedule 2 
chemical, but not a transient intermediate Schedule 2 chemical.
    (3) Mixtures containing a Schedule 2 chemical--(i) Mixtures that 
must be counted. You must count the quantity of each Schedule 2 chemical 
in a mixture, when determining the total quantity of a Schedule 2 
chemical produced, processed, or consumed at a plant on your plant site, 
if the concentration of each Schedule 2 chemical in the mixture is 30% 
or more by volume or by weight, whichever yields the lesser percent. Do 
not count a Schedule 2 chemical in the mixture that represents less than 
30% by volume or by weight.
    (ii) How to count the quantity of each Schedule 2 chemical in a 
mixture. If your mixture contains 30% or more concentration of a 
Schedule 2 chemical, you must count the quantity (weight) of each 
Schedule 2 chemical in the mixture, not the total weight of the mixture. 
You must separately declare each Schedule 2 chemical with a 
concentration in the mixture that is 30% or more and exceeds the 
quantity threshold detailed in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A)(1) through (3) of 
this section.
    (iii) Determining declaration requirements for production, 
processing and consumption. If the total quantity of a Schedule 2 
chemical produced, processed or consumed at a plant on your plant site, 
including mixtures that contain 30% or more concentration of a Schedule 
2 chemical, exceeds the applicable declaration threshold set forth in 
paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A)(1) through (3) of this section, you have a 
declaration requirement. For example, if during calendar year 2001, a 
plant on your plant site produced a mixture containing 300 kilograms of 
thiodiglycol in a concentration of 32% and also produced 800 kilograms 
of thiodiglycol, the total amount of thiodiglycol produced at that plant 
for CWCR purposes would be 1100 kilograms, which exceeds the declaration 
threshold of 1 metric ton for that Schedule 2 chemical. You must declare 
past production of thiodiglycol at that plant site for calendar year 
2001. If, on the other hand, a plant on your plant site processed a 
mixture containing 300 kilograms of thiodiglycol in a concentration of 
25% and also processed 800 kilograms of thiodiglycol in other than 
mixture form, the total amount of thiodiglycol processed at that plant 
for CWCR purposes would be 800 kilograms and would not trigger a 
declaration requirement. This is because the concentration of 
thiodiglycol in the mixture is less than 30% and therefore did not have 
to be ``counted'' and added to the other 800 kilograms of processed 
thiodiglycol at that plant.
    (b) Types of declaration forms to be used--(1) Annual declaration on 
past activities. You must complete the Certification Form and Forms 2-1, 
2-2, 2-3, 2-3A, and Form A if one or more plants on your plant site 
produced, processed or consumed more than the applicable threshold 
quantity of a Schedule 2 chemical described in paragraphs 
(a)(1)(i)(A)(1) through (3) of this section in any of the three previous 
calendar years. Form B is optional. If you are subject to annual 
declaration requirements, you must include data for the previous 
calendar year only.
    (2) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. You must complete 
the Certification Form and Forms 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-3A, 2-3C, and Form A 
if you plan to produce, process, or consume at any plant on your plant 
site a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold set forth in 
paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A)(1) through (3) of this section during the 
following calendar year. Form B is optional.
    (c) Quantities to be declared--(1) Production, processing and 
consumption of a Schedule 2 chemical above the declaration threshold--
(i) Annual declaration on past activities. If you are required to 
complete forms pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, you must 
declare the aggregate quantity resulting from each type of activity 
(production, processing or consumption) from each plant on your plant 
site that exceeds the applicable threshold for that Schedule 2 chemical. 
Do not include in these aggregate production, processing, and 
consumption quantities any data from plants on the plant site that did 
not individually produce, process or consume a Schedule 2 chemical in 
amounts greater than the applicable threshold. For example, if a plant 
on

[[Page 175]]

your plant site produced a Schedule 2 chemical in an amount greater than 
the applicable declaration threshold during the previous calendar year, 
you would have to declare only the production quantity from that plant, 
provided that the total amount of the Schedule 2 chemical processed or 
consumed at the plant did not exceed the applicable declaration 
threshold during any one of the previous three calendar years. If in the 
previous calendar year your production, processing and consumption 
activities all were below the applicable declaration threshold, but your 
declaration requirement is triggered because of production activities 
occurring in an earlier year, you would declare ``0'' only for the 
declared production activities.
    (ii) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. If you are 
required to complete forms pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this 
section, you must declare the aggregate quantity of any Schedule 2 
chemical that you plan to produce, process or consume at any plant(s) on 
your plant site above the applicable thresholds set forth in paragraphs 
(a)(1)(i)(A)(1) through (3) of this section during the next calendar 
year. Do not include in these anticipated aggregate production, 
processing, and consumption quantities any data from plants on the plant 
site that you do not anticipate will individually produce, process or 
consume a Schedule 2 chemical in amounts greater than the applicable 
thresholds.
    (2) Rounding. For the chemical BZ, report quantities to the nearest 
hundredth of a kilogram (10 grams). For PFIB and the Amiton family, 
report quantities to the nearest 1 kilogram. For all other Schedule 2 
chemicals, report quantities to the nearest 10 kilograms.
    (d) ``Declared'' Schedule 2 plant site. A plant site that submitted 
a declaration pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of this section is a 
``declared'' plant site.
    (e) Declared Schedule 2 plant sites subject to initial and routine 
inspections. A ``declared'' Schedule 2 plant site is subject to initial 
and routine inspection by the Organization for the Prohibition of 
Chemical Weapons if it produced, processed or consumed in any of the 
three previous calendar years, or is anticipated to produce, process or 
consume in the next calendar year, in excess of ten times the applicable 
declaration threshold set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A)(1) through 
(3) of this section (see part 716 of the CWCR). A ``declared'' Schedule 
2 plant site that has received an initial inspection is subject to 
routine inspection.



Sec.713.3  Annual declaration and reporting requirements for exports
and imports of Schedule 2 chemicals.

    (a) Declarations and reports of exports and imports of Schedule 2 
chemicals--(1) Declarations. A Schedule 2 plant site that is declared 
because it produced, processed or consumed a Schedule 2 chemical at one 
or more plants above the applicable threshold set forth in paragraph (b) 
of this section, and also exported from or imported to the plant site 
that same Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold, must 
submit export and import information as part of its declaration.
    (2) Reports. The following persons must submit a report if they 
individually exported or imported a Schedule 2 chemical above the 
applicable threshold indicated in paragraph (b) of this section:
    (i) A declared plant site that exported or imported a Schedule 2 
chemical that was different than the Schedule 2 chemical produced, 
processed or consumed at one or more plants at the plant site above the 
applicable declaration threshold;
    (ii) An undeclared plant site;
    (iii) A trading company; or
    (iv) Any other person subject to the CWCR.

    Note to Sec.713.3(a)(1) and (a)(2)(i): A declared Schedule 2 plant 
site may need to declare exports or imports of Schedule 2 chemicals that 
it produced, processed or consumed above the applicable threshold and 
also report exports or imports of different Schedule 2 chemicals that it 
did not produce, process or consume above the applicable threshold 
quantities. The report may be submitted to BIS either with or separately 
from the annual declaration on past activities (see Sec.713.3(d) of 
the CWCR).
    Note to Sec.713.3(a)(2): The U.S. Government will not submit to 
the OPCW company-specific information relating to the export or import 
of Schedule 2 chemicals contained in reports. The U.S. Government will 
add all export and import information contained in

[[Page 176]]

reports to export and import information contained in declarations to 
establish the U.S. national aggregate declaration on exports and 
imports.
    Note to Sec.713.3(a)(1) and (2): Declared and undeclared plant 
sites must count, for declaration or reporting purposes, all exports 
from and imports to the entire plant site, not only from or to 
individual plants on the plant site.

    (b) Quantities of exports or imports that trigger a declaration or 
reporting requirement. (1) You have a declaration or reporting 
requirement and must complete the forms specified in paragraph (d) of 
this section if you exported or imported a Schedule 2 chemical in excess 
of the following threshold quantities:
    (i) 1 kilogram of chemical BZ: 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate (See 
Schedule 2, paragraph A.3 included in supplement no. 1 to this part);
    (ii) 100 kilograms of chemical PFIB: 1,1,3,3,3-Pentafluoro-
2(trifluoromethyl)-1-propene or 100 kilograms of Amiton: O,O Diethyl S-
[2(diethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothiolate and corresponding alkylated or 
protonated salts (see Schedule 2, paragraphs A.1 and A.2 included in 
supplement no.1 to this part); or
    (iii) 1 metric ton of any chemical listed in Schedule 2, Part B (see 
supplement no.1 to this part).
    (2) Mixtures containing a Schedule 2 chemical. The quantity of each 
Schedule 2 chemical contained in a mixture must be counted for the 
declaration or reporting of an export or import only if the 
concentration of each Schedule 2 chemical in the mixture is 30% or more 
by volume or by weight, whichever yields the lesser percent. You must 
declare separately each Schedule 2 chemical whose concentration in the 
mixture is 30% or more.

    Note 1 to Sec.713.3(b)(2): See Sec.713.2(a)(2)(ii) of the CWCR 
for information on counting amounts of Schedule 2 chemicals contained in 
mixtures and determining declaration and reporting requirements.
    Note 2 to Sec.713.3(b)(2): The ``30% and above'' mixtures rule 
applies only for declaration and reporting purposes. This rule does not 
apply for purposes of determining whether the export of your mixture to 
a non-State Party requires an End-Use Certificate or for determining 
whether you need an export license from BIS (see Sec.742.2, Sec.
742.18 and Sec.745.2 of the Export Administration Regulations) or from 
the Department of State (see the International Traffic in Arms 
Regulations (22 CFR parts 120 through130)).

    (c) Declaration and reporting requirements--(1) Annual declaration 
on past activities. A plant site described in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section that has an annual declaration requirement for the production, 
processing, or consumption of a Schedule 2 chemical for the previous 
calendar year also must declare the export and/or import of that same 
Schedule 2 chemical if the amount exceeded the applicable threshold set 
forth in paragraph (b) of this section. The plant site must declare such 
export or import information as part of its annual declaration of past 
activities.
    (2) Annual report on exports and imports. Declared plant sites 
described in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section, and undeclared plant 
sites, trading companies or any other person (described in paragraphs 
(a)(2)(ii) through (iv) of this section) subject to the CWCR that 
exported or imported a Schedule 2 chemical in a previous calendar year 
in excess of the applicable thresholds set forth in paragraph (b) of 
this section must submit an annual report on such exports or imports.
    (d) Types of declaration and reporting forms to be used--(1) Annual 
declaration on past activities. If you are a declared Schedule 2 plant 
site, as described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, you must 
complete Form 2-3B, in addition to the forms required by Sec.
713.2(b)(1) of the CWCR, for each declared Schedule 2 chemical exported 
or imported above the applicable threshold in the previous calendar 
year.
    (2) Annual report on exports and imports. (i) If you are a declared 
plant site, as described in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section, you may 
fulfill your annual reporting requirements by:
    (A) Submitting, with your annual declaration on past activities, a 
Form 2-3B for each Schedule 2 chemical you exported or imported above 
the applicable threshold. Attach Form A, as appropriate; Form B is 
optional; or
    (B) Submitting, separately from your annual declaration on past 
activities, a Certification Form, Form 2-1, and

[[Page 177]]

Form 2-3B for each Schedule 2 chemical you exported or imported above 
the applicable threshold. Attach Form A, as appropriate; Form B is 
optional.
    (ii) If you are an undeclared plant site, trading company or any 
other person subject to the CWCR, you must complete the Certification 
Form, Form 2-1, and Form 2-3B for each Schedule 2 chemical you exported 
or imported above the applicable threshold. Attach Form A, as 
appropriate; Form B is optional.
    (e) Quantities to be declared--(1) Calculations. If you exported

          Declarations, Reports, and Amendments

    Authority: 22 U.S.C. 6701 et seq.; E.O. 13128, 64 FR 36703, 3 CFR 
1999 Comp., p. 199.

    Source: 71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.714.1  Annual declaration requirements for plant sites that
produce a Schedule 3 chemical in excess of 30 metric tons.

    (a) Declaration of production of Schedule 3 chemicals for purposes 
not prohibited by the CWC--(1) Production quantities that trigger the 
declaration requirement. You must complete the appropriate forms 
specified in paragraph (b) of this section if you have produced or 
anticipate producing a Schedule 3 chemical (see supplement no. 1 to this 
part) as follows:
    (i) Annual declaration on past activities. You produced at one or 
more plants on your plant site in excess of 30 metric tons of any single 
Schedule 3 chemical during the previous calendar year.
    (ii) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. You anticipate 
that you will produce at one or more plants on your plant site in excess 
of 30 metric tons of any single Schedule 3 chemical in the next calendar 
year.
    (2) Schedule 3 chemical production. (i) For the purpose of 
determining Schedule 3 production, you must include all steps in the 
production of a chemical in any units within the same plant through 
chemical reaction, including any associated processes (e.g., 
purification, separation, extraction, distillation, or refining) in 
which the chemical is not converted into another chemical. The exact 
nature of any associated process (e.g., purification, etc.) is not 
required to be declared.

[[Page 183]]

    (ii) For the purpose of determining if a Schedule 3 chemical is 
subject to declaration, you must declare an intermediate Schedule 3 
chemical, but not a transient intermediate Schedule 3 chemical.
    (3) Mixtures containing a Schedule 3 chemical--(i) When you must 
count the quantity of a Schedule 3 chemical in a mixture for declaration 
purposes. The quantity of each Schedule 3 chemical contained in a 
mixture must be counted for declaration purposes only if the 
concentration of each Schedule 3 chemical in the mixture is 80% or more 
by volume or by weight, whichever yields the lesser percent.
    (ii) How to count the amount of a Schedule 3 chemical in a mixture. 
If your mixture contains 80% or more concentration of a Schedule 3 
chemical, you must count only the amount (weight) of the Schedule 3 
chemical in the mixture, not the total weight of the mixture.
    (b) Types of declaration forms to be used--(1) Annual declaration on 
past activities. You must complete the Certification Form and Forms 3-1, 
3-2, 3-3, and Form A if one or more plants on your plant site produced 
in excess of 30 metric tons of any single Schedule 3 chemical during the 
previous calendar year. Form B is optional.
    (2) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. You must complete 
the Certification Form, and Forms 3-1 and 3-3 if you anticipate that you 
will produce at one or more plants on your plant site in excess of 30 
metric tons of any single Schedule 3 chemical in the next calendar year.
    (c) Quantities to be declared--(1) Production of a Schedule 3 
chemical in excess of 30 metric tons. If your plant site is subject to 
the declaration requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, you must 
declare the range within which the production at your plant site falls 
(30 to 200 metric tons, 200 to 1,000 metric tons, etc.) as specified on 
Form 3-3. When specifying the range of production for your plant site, 
you must aggregate the production quantities of all plants on the plant 
site that produced the Schedule 3 chemical in amounts greater than 30 
metric tons. Do not aggregate amounts of production from plants on the 
plant site that did not individually produce a Schedule 3 chemical in 
amounts greater than 30 metric tons. You must complete a separate Form 
3-3 for each Schedule 3 chemical for which production at your plant site 
exceeds 30 metric tons.
    (2) Rounding. To determine the production range into which your 
plant site falls, add all the production of the declared Schedule 3 
chemical during the calendar year from all plants on your plant site 
that produced the Schedule 3 chemical in amounts exceeding 30 metric 
tons, and round to the nearest ten metric tons.
    (d) ``Declared'' Schedule 3 plant site. A plant site that submitted 
a declaration pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of this section is a 
``declared'' Schedule 3 plant site.
    (e) Routine inspections of declared Schedule 3 plant sites. A 
``declared'' Schedule 3 plant site is subject to routine inspection by 
the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (see part 716 
of the CWCR) if:
    (1) The declared plants on your plant site produced in excess of 200 
metric tons aggregate of any Schedule 3 chemical during the previous 
calendar year; or
    (2) You anticipate that the declared plants on your plant site will 
produce in excess of 200 metric tons aggregate of any Schedule 3 
chemical during the next calendar year.



Sec.714.2  Annual reporting requirements for exports and imports
in excess of 30 metric tons of Schedule 3 chemicals.

    (a) Any person subject to the CWCR that exported from or imported 
into the United States in excess of 30 metric tons of any single 
Schedule 3 chemical during the previous calendar year has a reporting 
requirement under this section.
    (1) Annual report on exports and imports. Declared plant sites, 
undeclared plant sites, trading companies, or any other person subject 
to the CWCR that exported from or imported into the United States in 
excess of 30 metric tons of any single Schedule 3 chemical during the 
previous calendar year must submit an annual report on exports and 
imports.


[[Page 184]]


    Note 1 to Sec.714.2(a)(1): Declared and undeclared plant sites 
must count, for reporting purposes, all exports from and imports to the 
entire plant site, not only from or to individual plants on the plant 
site.
    Note 2 to Sec.714.2(a)(1): The U.S. Government will not submit to 
the OPCW company-specific information relating to the export or import 
of Schedule 3 chemicals contained in reports. The U.S. Government will 
add all export and import information contained in reports to establish 
the U.S. national aggregate declaration on exports and imports.

    (2) Mixtures containing a Schedule 3 chemical. The quantity of a 
Schedule 3 chemical contained in a mixture must be counted for reporting 
an export or import only if the concentration of the Schedule 3 chemical 
in the mixture is 80% or more by volume or by weight, whichever yields 
the lesser percent. For reporting purposes, only count the weight of the 
Schedule 3 chemical in the mixture, not the entire weight of the 
mixture.

    Note to Sec.714.2(a)(2): The ``80% and above'' mixtures rule 
applies only for reporting purposes. This rule does not apply for 
purposes of determining whether the export of your mixture to a non-
State Party requires an End-Use Certificate or for determining whether 
you need an export license from BIS (see 15 CFR 742.2, 742.18 and 745.2 
of the Export Administration Regulations) or from the Department of 
State (see the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR parts 
120 through 130)).

    (b) Types of forms to be used--(1) Declared Schedule 3 plant sites. 
(i) If your plant site is declared for production of a Schedule 3 
chemical (and has completed questions 3-3.1 and 3-3.2 on Form 3-3) and 
you also exported from or imported to your plant site in excess of 30 
metric tons of that same Schedule 3 chemical, you must report the export 
or import by either:
    (A) Completing question 3-3.3 on Form 3-3 on your declaration for 
that same Schedule 3 chemical; or
    (B) Submitting, separately from your declaration, a Certification 
Form, Form 3-1, and a Form 3-3 for each Schedule 3 chemical to be 
reported, completing only question 3-3.3. Attach Form A, as appropriate; 
Form B is optional.
    (ii) If your plant site is declared for production of a Schedule 3 
chemical and you exported or imported in excess of 30 metric tons of a 
different Schedule 3 chemical, you must report the export or import by 
either:
    (A) Submitting, along with your declaration, a Form 3-3 for each 
Schedule 3 chemical to be reported, completing only question 3-3.3. 
Attach Form A, as appropriate; Form B is optional; or
    (B) Submitting, separately from your declaration, a Certification 
Form, Form 3-1 and a Form 3.3 for each Schedule 3 chemical to be 
reported, completing only question 3-3.3. Attach Form A, as appropriate; 
Form B is optional.
    (2) If you are an undeclared plant site, a trading company, or any 
other person subject to the CWCR, you must submit a Certification Form, 
Form 3-1, and a Form 3-3 for each Schedule 3 chemical to be reported, 
completing only question 3-3.3. Attach Form A, as appropriate; Form B is 
optional.
    (c) Quantities to be reported--(1) Calculations. If you exported 
from or imported to your plant site or trading company more than 30 
metric tons of a Schedule 3 chemical in the previous calendar year, you 
must report all exports and imports of that chemical by country of 
destination or country of origin, respectively, and indicate the total 
amount exported to or imported from each country.
    (2) Rounding. For purposes of reporting exports and imports of a 
Schedule 3 chemical, you must total all exports and imports per calendar 
year per recipient or source and then round to the nearest 0.1 metric 
tons.

    Note to Sec.714.2(c): Under the Convention, the United States is 
obligated to provide the OPCW a national aggregate annual declaration of 
the quantities of each Schedule 3 chemical exported and imported, with a 
quantitative breakdown for each country or destination involved. The 
U.S. Government will not submit your company-specific information 
relating to the export or import of a Schedule 3 chemical reported under 
this Sec.714.2. The U.S. Government will add all export and import 
information submitted by various facilities under this section to 
produce a national aggregate annual declaration of destination-by-
destination trade for each Schedule 3 chemical.

[[Page 185]]



Sec.714.3  Advance declaration requirements for additionally planned 
production of Schedule 3 chemicals.

    (a) Declaration requirements. (1) You must declare additionally 
planned production of Schedule 3 chemicals after the annual declaration 
on anticipated activities for the next calendar year has been delivered 
to BIS if:
    (i) You plan that a previously undeclared plant on your plant site 
under Sec.714.1(a)(1)(ii) of the CWCR will produce a Schedule 3 
chemical above the declaration threshold;
    (ii) You plan to produce at a plant declared under Sec.
714.1(a)(1)(ii) of the CWCR an additional Schedule 3 chemical above the 
declaration threshold;
    (iii) You plan to increase the production of a Schedule 3 chemical 
by declared plants on your plant site from the amount exceeding the 
applicable declaration threshold to an amount exceeding the applicable 
inspection threshold (see Sec.716.1(b)(3) of the CWCR); or
    (iv) You plan to increase the aggregate production of a Schedule 3 
chemical at a declared plant site to an amount above the upper limit of 
the range previously declared under Sec.714.1(a)(1)(ii) of the CWCR.
    (2) If you must submit a declaration on additionally planned 
activities because you plan to engage in any of the activities listed in 
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section, you also should 
declare any changes to the anticipated purposes of production or product 
group codes. You do not have to submit a declaration on additionally 
planned activities if you are only changing your purposes of production 
or product group codes.
    (b) Declaration forms to be used. If you are required to declare 
additionally planned activities pursuant to paragraph (a) of this 
section, you must complete the Certification Form and Forms 3-1, 3-2, 
and 3-3 as appropriate. Such forms are due to BIS at least 15 days in 
advance of the beginning of the additional or new activity.



Sec.714.4  Amended declaration or report.

    In order for BIS to maintain accurate information on previously 
submitted plant site declarations, including information necessary to 
facilitate inspection notifications and activities or to communicate 
declaration or reporting requirements, amended declarations or reports

calendar year during which the ownership change occurred, or whether the 
previous owner and new owner will submit separate declarations or 
reports for the periods of the calendar year during which each owned the 
plant site or trading company.

    Note 1 to Sec.714.4(c): You must submit an amendment to your most 
recently submitted declaration or report for declaring changes to 
internal company information (e.g., company name change) or changes in 
ownership of a facility or trading company that have occurred since the 
submission of this declaration or report. BIS will process the amendment 
to ensure current information is on file regarding the facility or 
trading company (e.g., for inspection notifications and correspondence) 
and will also forward the amended declaration to the OPCW to ensure that 
they also have current information on file regarding your facility or 
trading company.
    Note 2 to Sec.714.4(c): You may notify BIS of change in ownership 
via a letter to the address given in Sec.711.6 of the CWCR. If you are 
submitting an amended declaration or report, use Form B to address 
details regarding the sale of the declared plant site or trading 
company.
    Note 3 to Sec.714.4(c): For ownership changes, the declared plant 
site or trading company will maintain its original U.S. Code Number, 
unless the plant site or trading company is sold to multiple owners, at 
which time BIS will assign new U.S. Code Numbers.

    (d) Inspection-related amendments. If, following the completion of 
an inspection (see parts 716 and 717 of the CWCR), you are required to 
submit an amended declaration based on the final inspection report, BIS 
will notify you in writing of the information to be amended pursuant to 
Sec. Sec.716.10 and 717.5(b) of the CWCR. Amended declarations must be 
submitted to BIS no later than 45 days following your receipt of BIS's 
post-inspection letter.
    (e) Non-substantive changes. If, subsequent to the submission of 
your declaration or report to BIS, you discover one or more non-
substantive typographical errors in your declaration or report, you are 
not required to submit an amended declaration or report to BIS. Instead, 
you may correct these errors in a subsequent declaration or report.
    (f) Documentation required for amended declarations or reports. If 
you are required to submit an amended declaration or report to BIS 
pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c), or (d) of this section, you must 
submit either:
    (1) A letter containing all of the corrected information required, 
in accordance with the provisions of this section, to amend your 
declaration or report; or
    (2) Both of the following:
    (i) A new Certification Form; and
    (ii) The specific forms required for the declaration or report type 
being amended (e.g., annual declaration on past activities) containing 
the corrected information required, in accordance with the requirements 
of this section, to amend your declaration or report.



Sec.714.5  Declarations and reports returned without action by BIS.

    If you submit a declaration or report and BIS determines that the 
information contained therein is not required by the CWCR, BIS will 
return the original declaration or report to you, without action, 
accompanied by a letter explaining BIS's decision. In order to protect 
your confidential business information, BIS will not maintain a copy of 
any declaration or report that is returned without action. However, BIS 
will maintain a copy of the RWA letter.



Sec.714.6  Deadlines for submission of Schedule 3 declarations, 
reports, and amendments.

    Declarations, reports, and amendments required under this part must 
be postmarked by the appropriate date identified in supplement no. 2 to 
this

part 714 of the CWCR. Required declarations, reports, and amendments 
include:
    (a) Annual declaration on past activities (production of Schedule 3 
chemicals during the previous calendar year);
    (b) Annual report on exports and imports of Schedule 3 chemicals 
from plant sites, trading companies, and other persons subject to the 
CWCR (during the previous calendar year);
    (c) Combined declaration and report (production of Schedule 3 
chemicals, as well as exports or imports of the same or different 
Schedule 3 chemicals, by a declared plant site during the previous 
calendar year);
    (d) Annual declaration on anticipated activities (anticipated 
production of Schedule 3 chemicals during the next calendar year);
    (e) Declaration on Additionally Planned Activities (additionally 
planned production of Schedule 3 chemicals); and
    (f) Amended declaration and report, including combined declaration 
and report.

Sec.715.1  Annual declaration requirements for production by synthesis
of unscheduled discrete organic chemicals (UDOCs).

    (a) Declaration of production by synthesis of UDOCs for purposes not 
prohibited by the CWC--(1) Production quantities that trigger the 
declaration requirement. See Sec.711.6 of the CWCR for information on 
obtaining the forms you will need to declare production of unscheduled 
discrete organic chemicals. You must complete the forms specified in 
paragraph (b) of this section if your plant site produced by synthesis:
    (i) In excess of 200 metric tons aggregate of all UDOCs (including 
all UDOCs containing the elements phosphorus, sulfur or fluorine, 
referred to as ``PSF chemicals'') during the previous calendar year; or
    (ii) In excess of 30 metric tons of an individual PSF chemical at 
one or more plants at your plant site during the previous calendar year.

    Note to Sec.715.1(a)(1)(ii): In calculating the aggregate 
production quantity of each individual PSF chemical produced by a PSF 
plant, do not include production of a PSF chemical that was produced in 
quantities less than 30 metric tons. Include only production quantities 
from those PSF plants that produced more than 30 metric tons of an 
individual PSF chemical.

    (2) UDOCs subject to declaration requirements under this part. (i) 
UDOCs subject to declaration requirements under this part are those 
produced by synthesis that have been isolated for:
    (A) Use; or
    (B) Sale as a specific end product.
    (ii) Exemptions. (A) Polymers and oligomers consisting of two or 
more repeating units;
    (B) Chemicals and chemical mixtures produced through a biological or 
biomediated process;
    (C) Products from the refining of crude oil, including sulfur-
containing crude oil;
    (D) Metal carbides (i.e., chemicals consisting only of metal and 
carbon); and
    (E) UDOCs produced by synthesis that are ingredients or by-products 
in

[[Page 190]]

foods designed for consumption by humans and/or animals.

    Note to Sec.715.1(a)(2): See supplement no. 2 to this part 715 for 
examples of UDOCs subject to the declaration requirements of this part, 
and for examples of activities that are not considered production by 
synthesis.

    (3) Exemptions for UDOC plant sites. UDOC plant sites that 
exclusively produced hydrocarbons or explosives are exempt from UDOC 
declaration requirements. For the purposes of this part, the following 
definitions apply for hydrocarbons and explosives:
    (i) Hydrocarbon means any organic compound that contains only carbon 
and hydrogen; and
    (ii) Explosive means a chemical (or a mixture of chemicals) that is 
included in Class 1 of the United Nations Organization hazard 
classification system.
    (b) Types of declaration forms to be used--(1) Annual declaration on 
past activities. You must complete the Certification Form and Form UDOC 
(consisting of two pages), unless there are no changes from the previous 
year's declaration and you submit a No Changes Authorization Form 
pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of this section. Attach Form A as 
appropriate; Form B is optional.

    Note to Sec.715.1(b)(1): If there is a change in the inspection 
status of your plant site, as described in paragraph (d)(2) of this 
section, you may submit an Annual Declaration on Past Activities, in 
lieu of a Change in Inspection Status Form, under the circumstances 
described in Note 3 to paragraph (d)(2). In this case, the due date for 
submitting the Annual Declaration on Past Activities to BIS, covering 
UDOC production at your plant site during the current calendar year, 
would be December 15th of the current calendar year, instead of February 
28th of the next calendar year (also see supplement no. 3 to this part). 
If you choose to submit your Annual Declaration on Past Activities to 
BIS by December 15th and, subsequently, you determine that the 
production by synthesis of UDOCs at your plant site actually exceeded 
the UDOC inspection threshold level specified in paragraph (d)(1) of 
this section, you must submit an amendment to your Annual Declaration on 
Past Activities (see Sec.715.2 of the CWCR) and indicate, on Form B, 
the reason your plant site exceeded the UDOC inspection threshold.

    (2) No Changes Authorization Form. You may complete the No Changes 
Authorization Form if there are no updates or changes to any information 
(except the certifying official and dates signed and submitted) in your 
plant site's previously submitted annual declaration on past activities. 
Your plant site's activities will be declared to the OPCW and subject to 
inspection, if applicable, based upon the data reported in the most 
recent UDOC Declaration that you submitted to BIS.

    Note to Sec.715.1(b)(2): If, after submitting the No Changes 
Authorization Form, you have changes to information, you must submit a 
complete amendment to the annual declaration on past activities. See 
Sec.715.2 of the CWCR.

    (c) ``Declared'' UDOC plant site. A plant site that submitted a 
declaration pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of this section is a 
``declared'' UDOC plant site.
    (d) Routine inspections of declared UDOC plant sites--(1) Inspection 
requirement. A ``declared'' UDOC plant site is subject to routine 
inspection by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons 
(OPCW) (see part 716 of the CWCR) if it produced by synthesis more than 
200 metric tons aggregate of UDOCs during the previous calendar year.
    (2) Change in inspection status. You may complete the Change in 
Inspection Status Form, to ensure that your facility does not remain 
subject to inspection during the first 90 days of the next calendar year 
(i.e., prior to the submission of the U.S. declaration to the OPCW), if:
    (i) Your plant site is currently subject to inspection, pursuant to 
paragraph (d)(1) of this section, based on your plant site's production 
by synthesis of UDOCs during the previous calendar year; and
    (ii) Your plant site's production by synthesis of UDOCs in the 
current calendar year will be below the inspection threshold level 
specified in paragraph (d)(1) of this section by the deadline indicated 
in supplement no. 3 to this part, and is anticipated to remain below 
that threshold level through the remainder of the current calendar year.

    Note 1 to Sec.715.1(d)(2): Upon receipt of the Change in 
Inspection Status Form, BIS will inform the Organization for the 
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) that your plant site is not 
subject to inspection during the next calendar year.

[[Page 191]]

    Note 2 to Sec.715.1(d)(2): If, after submitting your Change in 
Inspection Status Form to BIS, you determine that the production by 
synthesis of UDOCs at your plant site actually exceeded the UDOC 
inspection threshold level specified in paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section, you must indicate this fact when you submit your Annual 
Declaration on Past Activities to BIS and indicate, on Form B, the 
reason your plant site exceeded the UDOC inspection threshold.
    Note 3 to Sec.715.1(d)(2): You may submit the Annual Declaration 
on Past Activities described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, 
instead of the Change in Inspection Status Form, if you anticipate that 
UDOC production at your plant site during the current calendar year will 
be below the inspection threshold level specified in paragraph (d)(1) of 
this section, but you expect your plant site to remain subject to the 
UDOC declaration requirements in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. In 
this case, the due date for the Annual Declaration on Past Activities 
will be December 15th of the current calendar year, instead of February 
28th of the next calendar year. Note that any changes to information 
contained in the Annual Declaration on Past Activities must be addressed 
in accordance with the amendment requirements in Sec.715.2 of the 
CWCR. For example, if subsequent to the submission of your Annual 
Declaration on Past Activities to BIS on December 15th, you determine 
that the production by synthesis of UDOCs at your plant site actually 
exceeded the UDOC inspection threshold level specified in paragraph 
(d)(1) of this section, you must submit an amendment to your Annual 
Declaration on Past Activities (see Sec.715.2 of the CWCR) and 
indicate, on Form B, the reason your plant site exceeded the UDOC 
inspection threshold.
    Note 4 to Sec.715.1(d)(2): Currently inspectable UDOC plant sites 
that do not submit either a Change in Inspection Status Form or Annual 
Declaration of Past Activities by December 15th of the current calendar 
year, in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of this section, will remain 
subject to inspection through at least the 90-day period at the 
beginning of the next calendar year.

Sec.715.2  Amended declaration.

    In order for BIS to maintain accurate information on previously 
submitted plant site declarations, including current information 
necessary to facilitate inspection notifications and activities or to 
communicate declaration requirements, amended declarations will be 
required under the following circumstances described in this section. 
This section applies only to annual declarations on past activities 
submitted for the previous calendar year, unless specified otherwise in 
a final inspection report.
    (a) Changes to information that directly affects a declared plant 
site's Annual Declaration of Past Activities (ADPA) which was previously 
submitted to BIS. You must submit an amended declaration to BIS within 
15 days of any change in the following information:

produced any amount of UDOCs (including all PSF chemicals);
    (3) Aggregate amount of production (by production range) of UDOCs 
produced by all plants at the declared plant site;
    (4) Exact number of plants at the declared plant site that 
individually produced more than 30 metric tons of a single PSF chemical; 
and
    (5) Production range of each plant at the declared plant site that 
individually produced more than 30 metric tons of a single PSF chemical.
    (b) Changes to company and plant site information submitted in the 
ADPA that must be maintained by BIS--(1) Internal company changes. You 
must submit an amended declaration to BIS within 30 days of any change 
in the following information:

    (F) Details regarding whether the new owner will submit the 
declaration for the entire calendar year during which the ownership 
change occurred, or whether the previous owner and new owner will submit 
separate declarations for the periods of the calendar year during which 
each owned the plant site.
    (1) If the new owner is responsible for submitting the declaration 
for the entire current year, it must have in its possession the records 
for the period of the year during which the previous owner owned the 
plant site.
    (2) If the previous owner and new owner will submit separate 
declarations for the periods of the calendar year during which each 
owned the plant site, and, if at the time of transfer of ownership, the 
previous owner's activities are not above the declaration thresholds set 
forth in Sec.715.1(a)(1) of the CWCR, the previous owner and the new 
owner must still submit declarations to BIS with the below threshold 
quantities indicated.
    (3) If the part-year declarations submitted by the previous owner 
and the new owner are not, when combined, above the declaration 
threshold set forth in Sec.715.1(a)(1) of the CWCR, BIS will return 
the declarations without action as set forth in Sec.715.3 of the CWCR.
    (ii) Information that must be submitted to BIS by the company

    (H) Owner of plant site where the production of UDOCs exceeds the 
applicable declaration threshold, including telephone number and 
facsimile number;
    (I) Operator of plant site where the production of UDOCs exceeds the 
applicable declaration threshold, including telephone number and 
facsimile number; and
    (J) Details on the next declaration or report submission on whether 
the new owner will submit the declaration or report for the entire 
calendar year during which the ownership change occurred, or whether the 
previous owner and new owner will submit separate declarations or report 
for the periods of the calendar year during which each owned the plant 
site.

    Note 1 to Sec.715.2(b): You must submit an amendment to your most 
recently submitted declaration or report for declaring changes to 
internal company information (e.g., company name change) or changes in 
ownership of a facility or trading company that have occurred since the 
submission of this declaration or report. BIS will process the amendment 
to ensure current information is on file regarding the facility or 
trading company (e.g., for inspection notifications and correspondence) 
and will also forward the amended declaration to the OPCW to ensure that 
they also have current information on

[[Page 193]]

file regarding your facility or trading company.
    Note 2 to Sec.715.2(b): You may notify BIS of change in ownership 
via a letter to the address given in Sec.711.6 of the CWCR. If you are 
submitting an amended declaration, use Form B to address details 
regarding the sale of the declared plant site.
    Note 3 to Sec.715.2(b): For ownership changes, the declared plant 
site will maintain its original U.S. Code Number, unless the plant site 
is sold to multiple owners, at which time BIS will assign new U.S. Code 
Numbers.

    (c) Inspection-related amendments. If, following completion of an 
inspection (see part 716 or 717 of the CWCR), you are required to submit 
an amended declaration based on the final inspection report, BIS will 
notify you in writing of the information that will be required pursuant 
to Sec. Sec.716.10 and 717.5 of the CWCR. You must submit an amended 
declaration to BIS no later than 45 days following your receipt of BIS's 
post-inspection letter.
    (d) Non-substantive changes. If, subsequent to the submission of 
your declaration to BIS, you discover one or more non-substantive 
typographical errors in your declaration, you are not required to submit 
an amended declaration to BIS. Instead, you may correct these errors in 
a subsequent declaration.
    (e) Documentation required for amended declarations. If you are 
required to submit an amended declaration to BIS pursuant to paragraph 
(a), (b), or (c) of this section, you must submit either:
    (1) A letter containing all of the corrected information required, 
in accordance with the provisions of this section, to amend your 
declaration; or

    (ii) The specific form required for the declaration containing the 
corrected information required, in accordance with the requirements of 
this section, to amend your declaration.



Sec.715.3  Declarations returned without action by BIS.

    If you submit a declaration and BIS determines that the information 
contained therein is not required by the CWCR, BIS will return the 
original declaration to you, without action, accompanied by a letter 
explaining BIS's decision. In order to protect your confidential 
business information, BIS will not maintain a copy of any declaration 
that is returned without action. However, BIS will maintain a copy of 
the RWA letter.



Sec.715.4  Deadlines for submitting UDOC declarations, No Changes 
Authorization Forms, Change in Inspection Status Forms, and amendments.

    Declarations, No Changes Authorization Forms, Change in Inspection 
Status Forms, and amendments required under this part must be postmarked

[71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, as amended at 72 FR 14408, Mar. 28, 2007]



Sec. Supplement No. 1 to Part 715--Definition of an Unscheduled Discrete 
                            Organic Chemical

    Unscheduled discrete organic chemical means any chemical: (1) 
Belonging to the class of chemical compounds consisting of all compounds 
of carbon except for its oxides, sulfides and metal carbonates 
identifiable by chemical name, by structural formula, if known, and by 
Chemical Abstract Service registry number, if assigned; and (2) that is 
not contained in the Schedules of Chemicals (see Supplements No. 1 to 
parts 712 through 714 of the CWCR). Unscheduled

[[Page 194]]

discrete organic chemicals subject to declaration under this part are 
those produced by synthesis that are isolated for use or sale as a 
specific end-product.

    Note: Carbon oxides consist of chemical compounds that contain only 
the elements carbon and oxygen and have the chemical formula 
CXOy, where x and y denote integers. The two most 
common carbon oxides are carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide 
(CO2). Carbon sulfides consist of chemical compounds that 
contain only the elements carbon and sulfur, and have the chemical 
formula CaSb, where a and b denote integers. The 
most common carbon sulfide is carbon disulfide (CS2). Metal 
carbonates consist of chemical compounds that contain a metal (i.e., the 
Group I Alkalis, Groups II Alkaline Earths, the Transition Metals, or 
the elements aluminum, gallium, indium, thallium, tin, lead, bismuth or 
polonium), and the elements carbon and oxygen. Metal carbonates have the 
chemical formula Md(CO3)e, where d and 
e denote integers and M represents a metal. Common metal carbonates are 
sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and calcium carbonate 
(CaCO3). In addition, metal carbides or other 
compounds consisting of only a metal, as described in this Note, and 
carbon (e.g., calcium carbide (CaC2)), are exempt 
from declaration requirements (see Sec.715.1(a)(2)(ii)(D) of the 
CWCR).



  Sec. Supplement No. 2 to Part 715--Examples of Unscheduled Discrete 
              Organic Chemicals (UDOCs) and UDOC Production

    (1) Examples of UDOCs not subject to declaration include:
    (i) UDOCs produced coincidentally as by-products that are not 
isolated for use or sale as a specific end product, and are routed to, 
or escape from, the waste stream of a stack, incinerator, or waste 
treatment system or any other waste stream;
    (ii) UDOCs, contained in mixtures, which are produced coincidentally 
and not isolated for use or sale as a specific end-product;
    (iii) UDOCs produced by recycling (i.e., involving one of the 
processes listed in paragraph (3) of this supplement) of previously 
declared UDOCs;
    (iv) UDOCs produced by the mixing (i.e., the process of combining or 
blending into one mass) of previously declared UDOCs; and
    (v) UDOCs that are intermediates and that are used in a single or 
multi-step process to produce another declared UDOC.
    (2) Examples of UDOCs that you must declare under part 715 of the 
CWCR include, but are not limited to, the following, unless they are not 
isolated for use or sale as a specific end product:
    (i) Acetophenone (CAS 98-86-2);
    (ii) 6-Chloro-2-methyl aniline (CAS 87-63-8);
    (iii) 2-Amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid (CAS 548-93-6); and
    (iv) Acetone (CAS 67-64-1).
    (3) Examples of activities that are not considered ``production by 
synthesis'' under part 715 of the CWCR, which means the end products 
resulting from such activities would not be declared under part 715, are 
as follows:
    (i) Fermentation;
    (ii) Extraction;
    (iii) Purification;
    (iv) Distillation; and
    (v) Filtration.

Sec.716.1  General information on the conduct of initial and routine
inspections.

    This part provides general information about the conduct of initial 
and routine inspections of declared facilities subject to inspection 
under CWC Verification Annex Part VI(E), Part VII(B), Part VIII(B) and 
Part IX(B). See part 717 of the CWCR for provisions concerning challenge 
inspections.
    (a) Overview. Each State Party to the CWC, including the United 
States, has agreed to allow certain inspections of declared facilities 
by inspection teams employed by the Organization for the Prohibition of 
Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to ensure that activities are consistent with 
obligations under the Convention. BIS is responsible for leading, 
hosting and escorting inspections of all facilities subject to the 
provisions of the CWCR (see Sec.710.2 of the CWCR).
    (b) Declared facilities subject to initial and routine inspections--
(1) Schedule 1 facilities. (i) Your declared facility is subject to 
inspection if it produced in excess of 100 grams aggregate of Schedule 1 
chemicals in the previous calendar year or anticipates producing in 
excess of 100 grams aggregate of Schedule 1 chemicals during the next 
calendar year.
    (ii) If you are a new Schedule 1 production facility pursuant to 
Sec.712.4 of the CWCR, your facility is subject to an initial 
inspection within 200 days of submitting an initial declaration.

    Note to Sec.716.1(b)(1): All Schedule 1 facilities submitting a 
declaration are subject to inspection.

    (2) Schedule 2 plant sites--(i) Inspection thresholds for Schedule 2 
plant sites. Your declared plant site is subject to inspection if at 
least one plant on your plant site produced, processed or consumed, in 
any of the three previous calendar years, or you anticipate that at 
least one plant on your plant site will produce, process or consume in 
the next calendar year, any Schedule 2 chemical in excess of the 
following:
    (A) 10 kg of chemical BZ: 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate (see Schedule

[[Page 196]]

2, Part A, paragraph 3 in supplement no. 1 to part 713 of the CWCR);
    (B) 1 metric ton of chemical PFIB: 1,1,3,3,3-Pentafluoro-
2(trifluoromethyl)-1-propene or any chemical belonging to the Amiton 
family (see Schedule 2, Part A, paragraphs 1 and 2 in supplement no. 1 
to part 713 of the CWCR); or
    (C) 10 metric tons of any chemical listed in Schedule 2, Part B (see 
supplement no. 1 to part 713 of the CWCR).
    (ii) Initial inspection for new Schedule 2 plant sites. Your 
declared plant site is subject to an initial inspection within the first 
year after submitting a declaration, if at least one plant on your plant 
site produced, processed or consumed in any of the three previous years, 
or you anticipate that at least one plant on your plant site will 
produce, process or consume in the next calendar year, any Schedule 2 
chemical in excess of the threshold quantities set forth in paragraphs 
(b)(2)(i)(A) through (C) of this section.

    Note to Sec.716.1(b)(2): The applicable inspection threshold for 
Schedule 2 plant sites is ten times higher than the applicable 
declaration threshold. Only declared plant sites, comprising at least 
one declared plant that exceeds the applicable inspection threshold, are 
subject to inspection.

    (3) Schedule 3 plant sites. Your declared plant site is subject to 
inspection if the declared plants on your plant site produced during the 
previous calendar year, or you anticipate they will produce in the next 
calendar year, in excess of 200 metric tons aggregate of any Schedule 3 
chemical.

    Note to Sec.716.1(b)(3): The methodology for determining a 
declarable and inspectable plant site is different. A Schedule 3 plant 
site that submits a declaration is subject to inspection only if the 
aggregate production of a Schedule 3 chemical at all declared plants on 
the plant site exceeds 200 metric tons.

    (4) Unscheduled discrete organic chemical plant sites. Your declared 
plant site is subject to inspection if it produced by synthesis more 
than 200 metric tons aggregate of unscheduled discrete organic chemicals 
(UDOC) during the previous calendar year.

    Note 1 to Sec.716.1(b)(4): You must include amounts of unscheduled 
discrete organic chemicals containing phosphorus, sulfur or fluorine in 
the calculation of your plant site's aggregate production of unscheduled 
discrete organic chemicals.

    Note 2 to Sec.716.1(b)(4): All UDOC plant sites that submit a 
declaration based on Sec.715.1(a)(1)(i) of the CWCR are subject to a 
routine inspection.
    Note 3 to paragraph (b)(4): Any UDOC plant site that is eligible, in 
accordance with Sec.715.1(d)(2) of the CWCR, to submit a Change in 
Inspection Status Form or an Annual Declaration on Past Activities by 
December 15th of the current calendar year (i.e., a plant site that will 
be below the inspection threshold level indicated in paragraph (b)(4) of 
this section during the current calendar year), but that fails to do so, 
will remain subject to inspection through at least the 90-day period at 
the beginning of the next calendar year.

    (c) Responsibilities of the Department of Commerce. As the host and 
escort for the international Inspection Team for all inspections of 
facilities subject to the provisions of the CWCR under this part, BIS 
will:
    (1) Lead on-site inspections;
    (2) Provide Host Team notification to the facility of an impending 
inspection;
    (3) Take appropriate action to obtain an administrative warrant in 
the event the facility does not consent to the inspection;
    (4) Dispatch an advance team to the vicinity of the site to provide 
administrative and logistical support for the impending inspection and, 
upon request, to assist the facility with inspection preparation;
    (5) Escort the Inspection Team on-site throughout the inspection 
process;
    (6) Assist the Inspection Team with verification activities;
    (7) Negotiate the development of a site-specific facility agreement, 
if appropriate (see Sec.716.6); and
    (8) Ensure that an inspection adheres to the Convention, the Act and 
any warrant issued thereunder, and a site-specific facility agreement, 
if concluded.

Sec.716.2  Purposes and types of inspections of declared facilities.

    (a) Schedule 1 facilities--(1) Purposes of inspections. The aim of 
inspections of Schedule 1 facilities is to verify that:

[[Page 197]]

    (i) The facility is not used to produce any Schedule 1 chemical, 
except for the declared Schedule 1 chemicals;
    (ii) The quantities of Schedule 1 chemicals produced, processed or 
consumed are correctly declared and consistent with needs for the 
declared purpose; and
    (iii) The Schedule 1 chemical is not diverted or used for purposes 
other than those declared.
    (2) Types of inspections--(i) Initial inspections. (A) During 
initial inspections of declared Schedule 1 facilities, in addition to 
the verification activities listed in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, 
the Host Team and the Inspection Team will draft site-specific facility 
agreements (see Sec.716.6 of the CWCR) for the conduct of routine 
inspections.
    (B) For new Schedule 1 production facilities declared pursuant to 
Sec.712.4 of the CWCR, the U.S. National Authority, in coordination 
with BIS, will conclude a facility agreement with the OPCW before the 
facility begins producing above 100 grams aggregate of Schedule 1 
chemicals.
    (ii) Routine inspections. During routine inspections of declared 
Schedule 1 facilities, the verification activities listed in paragraph 
(a)(1) of this section will be carried out pursuant to site-specific 
facility agreements (see Sec.716.6 of the CWCR) developed during the 
initial inspections and concluded between the U.S. Government and the 
OPCW pursuant to the Convention.
    (b) Schedule 2 plant sites--(1) Purposes of inspections. (i) The 
general aim of inspections of declared Schedule 2 plant sites is to 
verify that activities are in accordance with obligations under the 
Convention and consistent with the information provided in declarations. 
Particular aims of inspections of declared Schedule 2 plant sites are to 
verify:
    (A) The absence of any Schedule 1 chemical, especially its 
production, except in accordance with the provisions of the Convention;
    (B) Consistency with declarations of production, processing or 
consumption of Schedule 2 chemicals; and
    (C) Non-diversion of Schedule 2 chemicals for activities prohibited 
under the Convention.
    (ii) During initial inspections, Inspection Teams shall collect 
information to determine the frequency and intensity of subsequent 
inspections by assessing the risk to the object and purpose of the 
Convention posed by the relevant chemicals, the characteristics of the 
plant site and the nature of the activities carried out there. The 
Inspection Team will take the following criteria into account, inter 
alia:
    (A) The toxicity of the scheduled chemicals and of the end-products 
produced with them, if any;
    (B) The quantity of the scheduled chemicals typically stored at the 
inspected site;
    (C) The quantity of feedstock chemicals for the scheduled chemicals 
typically stored at the inspected site;
    (D) The production capacity of the Schedule 2 plants; and
    (E) The capability and convertibility for initiating production, 
storage and filling of toxic chemicals at the inspected site.
    (2) Types of inspections--(i) Initial inspections. During initial 
inspections of declared Schedule 2 plant sites, in addition to the 
verification activities listed in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the 
Host Team and the Inspection Team will generally draft site-specific 
facility agreements for the conduct of routine inspections (see Sec.
716.6 of the CWCR).
    (ii) Routine inspections. During routine inspections of declared 
Schedule 2 plant sites, the verification activities listed in paragraph 
(b)(1) of this section will be carried out pursuant to any appropriate 
site-specific facility agreements developed during the initial 
inspections (see Sec.716.6 of the CWCR), and concluded between the 
U.S. Government and the OPCW pursuant to the Convention and the Act.
    (c) Schedule 3 plant sites--(1) Purposes of inspections. The general 
aim of inspections of declared Schedule 3 plant sites is to verify that 
activities are consistent with the information provided in declarations. 
The particular aim of inspections is to verify the absence of any 
Schedule 1 chemical, especially its production, except in accordance 
with the Convention.
    (2) Routine inspections. During routine inspections of declared 
Schedule 3

[[Page 198]]

plant sites, in addition to the verification activities listed in 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the Host Team and the Inspection Team 
may draft site-specific facility agreements for the conduct of 
subsequent routine inspections (see Sec.716.6 of the CWCR). Although 
the Convention does not require facility agreements for declared 
Schedule 3 plant sites, the owner, operator, occupant or agent in charge 
of a plant site may request one. The Host Team will not seek a facility 
agreement if the owner, operator, occupant or agent in charge of the 
plant site does not request one. Subsequent routine inspections will be 
carried out pursuant to site-specific facility agreements, if 
applicable.
    (d) Unscheduled discrete organic chemical plant sites--(1) Purposes 
of inspections. The general aim of inspections of declared UDOC plant 
sites is to verify that activities are consistent with the information 
provided in declarations. The particular aim of inspections is to verify 
the absence of any Schedule 1 chemical, especially its production, 
except in accordance with the Convention.
    (2) Routine inspections. During routine inspections of declared UDOC 
plant sites, in addition to the verification activities listed in 
paragraph (d)(1) of this section, the Host Team and the Inspection Team 
may develop draft site-specific facility agreements for the conduct of 
subsequent routine inspections (see Sec.716.6 of the CWCR). Although 
the Convention does not require facility agreements for declared UDOC 
plant sites, the owner, operator, occupant or agent in charge of a plant 
site may request one. The Host Team will not seek a facility agreement 
if the owner, operator, occupant or agent in charge of the plant site 
does not request one. Subsequent routine inspections will be carried out 
pursuant to site-specific facility agreements, if applicable.



Sec.716.3  Consent to inspections; warrants for inspections.

    (a) The owner, operator, occupant or agent in charge of a facility 
may consent to an initial or routine inspection. The individual giving 
consent on behalf of the facility represents that he or she has the 
authority to make this decision for the facility.
    (b) In instances where consent is not provided by the owner, 
operator, occupant or agent in charge for an initial or routine 
inspection, BIS will seek administrative warrants as provided by the 
Act.



Sec.716.4  Scope and conduct of inspections.

    (a) General. Each inspection shall be limited to the purposes 
described in Sec.716.2 of the CWCR and shall be conducted in the least 
intrusive manner, consistent with the effective and timely 
accomplishment of its purpose as provided in the Convention.
    (b) Scope--(1) Description of inspections. During inspections, the 
Inspection Team:
    (i) Will receive a pre-inspection briefing from facility 
representatives;
    (ii) Will visually inspect the facilities or plants producing 
scheduled chemicals or UDOCs, which may include storage areas, feed 
lines, reaction vessels and ancillary equipment, control equipment, 
associated laboratories, first aid or medical sections, and waste and 
effluent handling areas, as necessary to accomplish their inspection;
    (iii) May visually inspect other parts or areas of the plant site to 
clarify an ambiguity that has arisen during the inspection;
    (iv) May take photographs or conduct formal interviews of facility 
personnel;
    (v) May examine relevant records; and
    (vi) May take samples as provided by the Convention, the Act and 
consistent with the requirements set forth by the Director of the United 
States National Authority, at 22 CFR part 103, and the facility 
agreement, if applicable.
    (2) Scope of consent. When an owner, operator, occupant, or agent in 
charge of a facility consents to an initial or routine inspection, he or 
she is consenting to provide access to the Inspection Team and Host Team 
to any area of the facility, any item located on the facility, 
interviews with facility personnel, and any records necessary for the 
Inspection Team to complete its mission pursuant to paragraph (a) of 
this section, except for information subject to export control under 
ITAR

[[Page 199]]

(22 CFR parts 120 through 130) (see paragraph (b)(3) of this section). 
When consent is granted for an inspection, the owner, operator, 
occupant, or agent in charge agrees to provide the same degree of access 
provided for under section 305 of the Act. The determination of whether 
the Inspection Team's request to inspect any area, building, item or 
record is reasonable is the responsibility of the Host Team Leader.
    (3) ITAR-controlled technology. ITAR-controlled technology shall not 
be divulged to the Inspection Team without U.S. Government authorization 
(such technology includes, but is not limited to technical data related 
to Schedule 1 chemicals or Schedule 2 chemicals identified in Note 2 to 
Supplement No. 1 to Part 712 or Note 1 to Supplement No. 1 to Part 713, 
respectively, of the CWCR; also see 22 CFR Section 121.1, i.e., the 
United States Munitions List). Facilities being inspected are 
responsible for the identification of ITAR-controlled technology to the 
BIS Host Team, if known.
    (c) Pre-inspection briefing. Upon arrival of the Inspection Team and 
Host Team at the inspection site and before commencement of the 
inspection, facility representatives will provide the Inspection Team 
and Host Team with a pre-inspection briefing on the facility, the 
activities carried out there, safety measures, and administrative and 
logistical arrangements necessary for the inspection, which may be aided 
with the use of maps and other documentation as deemed appropriate by 
the facility. The time spent for the briefing will be limited to the 
minimum necessary and may not exceed three hours.
    (1) The pre-inspection briefing will address:
    (i) Facility health and safety issues and requirements, and 
associated alarm systems;
    (ii) Declared facility activities, business and manufacturing 
operations;
    (iii) Physical layout;
    (iv) Delimitation of declared facility;
    (v) Scheduled chemicals on the facility (declared and undeclared);
    (vi) Block flow diagram or simplified process flow diagram;
    (vii) Plants and units specific to declared operations;
    (viii) Administrative and logistic information; and
    (ix) Data declaration updates/revisions.
    (2) The pre-inspection briefing may also address, inter alia:
    (i) Introduction of key facility personnel;
    (ii) Management, organization and history;
    (iii) Confidential business information concerns;
    (iv) Types and location of records/documents;
    (v) Draft facility agreement, if applicable; and
    (vi) Proposed inspection plan.
    (d) Visual plant inspection. The Inspection Team may visually 
inspect the declared plant or facility and other areas or parts of the 
plant site as agreed by the Host Team Leader after consulting with the 
facility representative.
    (e) Records review. (1) The facility must provide the Inspection 
Team with access to all supporting materials and documentation used by 
the facility to prepare declarations and to otherwise comply with the 
requirements of the CWCR. These supporting materials and documentation 
shall include records related to activities that have taken place at the 
facility since the beginning of the previous calendar year, regardless 
of whether or not the facility has submitted its current year Annual 
Declaration on Past Activities to BIS at the time of the inspection. The 
facility shall also make available for inspection all records associated 
with the movement into, around, and from the facility of declared 
chemicals and their feedstock or any product chemicals formed from such 
chemicals and feedstock. All supporting materials and documentation 
subject to the requirements of this paragraph (e) must be retained by 
the facility in accordance with the requirements of Sec.721.2 of the 
CWCR. The facility also must permit access to and copying of these 
records, upon request by BIS or any other agency of competent 
jurisdiction, in accordance with the requirements of Sec.721.1 of the 
CWCR.
    (2) The facility must provide access to these supporting materials 
and documentation in appropriate formats (e.g., paper copies, electronic 
remote

[[Page 200]]

access by computer, microfilm, or microfiche), through the U.S. 
Government Host Team to Inspection Teams, during the inspection period 
or as otherwise agreed upon by the Inspection Team and Host Team Leader.
    (3) The facility must provide the Inspection Team with appropriate 
accommodations in which to review these supporting materials and 
documentation.
    (4) If a facility does not have access to supporting materials and 
documentation for activities that took place under previous ownership, 
because such records were not transferred to the current owner of the 
facility by the previous owner (e.g., as part of the contract involving 
the sale of the facility), the previous owner must make such records 
available to the Host Team for provision to the Inspection Team in 
accordance with section 305 of the Act. However, the current owner of a 
facility, upon receiving notification of an inspection (see Sec.716.5 
of the CWCR), is responsible for informing BIS if the previous owner did 
not transfer records for activities that took place under the previous 
ownership--this will allow BIS to contact the previous owner of the 
facility, to arrange for access to such records, if BIS deems them 
relevant to the inspection activities.
    (f) Effect of facility agreements. Routine inspections at facilities 
for which the United States has concluded a facility agreement with the 
OPCW will be conducted in accordance with the facility agreement. The 
existence of a facility agreement does not in any way limit the right of 
the owner, operator, occupant, or agent in charge of the facility to 
withhold consent to an inspection request.
    (g) Hours of inspections. Consistent with the provisions of the 
Convention, the Host Team will ensure, to the extent possible, that each 
inspection is commenced, conducted, and concluded during ordinary 
working hours, but no inspection shall be prohibited or otherwise 
disrupted from commencing, continuing or concluding during other hours.
    (h) Health and safety regulations and requirements. In carrying out 
their activities, the Inspection Team and Host Team shall observe 
federal, state, and local health and safety regulations and health and 
safety requirements established at the inspection site, including those 
for the protection of controlled environments within a facility and for 
personal safety. Such health and safety regulations and requirements 
will be set forth in, but will not necessarily be limited to, the 
facility agreement, if applicable.
    (i) Preliminary findings. Upon completion of an inspection, the 
Inspection Team will meet with the Host Team and facility personnel to 
review the written preliminary findings of the Inspection Team and to 
clarify ambiguities. The Host Team will discuss the preliminary findings 
with the facility, and the Host Team Leader will take into consideration 
the facility's input when providing official comments on the preliminary 
findings to the Inspection Team. This meeting will be completed not 
later than 24 hours after the completion of the inspection.

[71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, as amended at 72 FR 14409, Mar. 28, 2007]



Sec.716.5  Notification, duration and frequency of inspections.

    (a) Inspection notification--(1)(i) Content of notice. Inspections 
of facilities may be made only upon issuance of written notice by the 
United States National Authority (USNA) to the owner and to the 
operator, occupant or agent in charge of the premises to be inspected. 
BIS will also provide a separate inspection notification to the 
inspection point of contact identified in declarations submitted by the 
facility. If the United States is unable to provide actual written 
notice to the owner and to the operator, occupant or agent in charge, 
BIS (or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, if BIS is unable) may post 
notice prominently at the facility to be inspected. The notice shall 
include all appropriate information provided by the OPCW to the USNA 
concerning:
    (A) The type of inspection;
    (B) The basis for the selection of the facility or location for the 
type of inspection sought;
    (C) The time and date that the inspection will begin and the period 
covered by the inspection; and

[[Page 201]]

    (D) The names and titles of the Inspection Team members.
    (ii) Consent to inspection. In addition to appropriate information 
provided by the OPCW in its notification to the USNA, BIS's inspection 
notification will request that the facility indicate whether it will 
consent to an inspection, and will state whether an advance team is 
available to assist the site in preparation for the inspection. If an 
advance team is available, facilities that request advance team 
assistance are not required to reimburse the U.S. Government for costs 
associated with these activities. If a facility does not agree to 
provide consent to an inspection within four hours of receipt of the 
inspection notification, BIS will seek an administrative warrant. The 
current owner of a facility, upon receiving notification of an 
inspection, is also responsible for informing BIS if the previous owner 
did not transfer (to the current owner) records for activities that took 
place under the previous ownership (see Sec.716.4(e) of the CWCR)--
this will allow BIS to contact the previous owner of the facility, to 
arrange for access to such records, if BIS deems them relevant to the 
inspection activities.
    (iii) The following table sets forth the notification procedures for 
inspection:

notice to the owner and to the operator, occupant or agent in charge of 
the premises within six hours of receiving notification from the OPCW 
Technical Secretariat or as soon as possible thereafter. BIS will 
provide Host Team notice to the inspection point of contact of the 
facility as soon as possible after the OPCW notifies the USNA of the 
inspection.
    (ii) Schedule 2 plant sites. For declared Schedule 2 plant sites, 
the Technical Secretariat will notify the USNA of an initial or routine 
inspection not less than 48 hours prior to arrival of the Inspection 
Team at the plant site to be

[[Page 202]]

inspected. The USNA will provide written notice to the owner and to the 
operator, occupant or agent in charge of the premises within six hours 
of receiving notification from the OPCW Technical Secretariat or as soon 
as possible thereafter. BIS will provide Host Team notice to the 
inspection point of contact at the plant site as soon as possible after 
the OPCW notifies the USNA of the inspection.
    (iii) Schedule 3 and UDOC plant sites. For declared Schedule 3 and 
UDOC plant sites, the Technical Secretariat will notify the USNA of a 
routine inspection not less than 120 hours prior to arrival of the 
Inspection Team at the plant site to be inspected. The USNA will provide 
written notice to the owner and to the operator, occupant or agent in 
charge of the premises within six hours of receiving notification from 
the OPCW Technical Secretariat or as soon as possible thereafter. BIS 
will provide Host Team notice to the inspection point of contact of the 
plant site as soon as possible after the OPCW notifies the USNA of the 
inspection.
    (b) Period of inspections--(1) Schedule 1 facilities. For a declared 
Schedule 1 facility, the Convention does not specify a maximum duration 
for an initial inspection. The estimated period of routine inspections 
will be as stated in the facility agreement, unless extended by 
agreement between the Inspection Team and the Host Team Leader, and will 
be based on the risk to the object and purpose of the Convention posed 
by the quantities of chemicals produced, the characteristics of the 
facility and the nature of the activities carried out there. The Host 
Team Leader will consult with the inspected facility on any request for 
extension of an inspection prior to making an agreement with the 
Inspection Team. Activities involving the pre-inspection briefing and 
preliminary findings are in addition to inspection activities. See Sec.
716.4(c) and (i) of the CWCR for a description of these activities.
    (2) Schedule 2 plant sites. For declared Schedule 2 plant sites, the 
maximum duration of initial and routine inspections shall be 96 hours, 
unless extended by agreement between the Inspection Team and the Host 
Team Leader. The Host Team Leader will consult with the inspected plant 
site on any request for extension of an inspection prior to making an 
agreement with the Inspection Team. Activities involving the pre-
inspection briefing and preliminary findings are in addition to 
inspection activities. See Sec.716.4(c) and (i) of the CWCR for a 
description of these activities.
    (3) Schedule 3 and UDOC plant sites. For declared Schedule 3 or UDOC 
plant sites, the maximum duration of routine inspections shall be 24 
hours, unless extended by agreement between the Inspection Team and the 
Host Team Leader. The Host Team Leader will consult with the inspected 
plant site on any request for extension of an inspection prior to making 
an agreement with the Inspection Team. Activities involving the pre-
inspection briefing and preliminary findings are in addition to 
inspection activities. See Sec.716.4(c) and (i) of the CWCR for a 
description of these activities.
    (c) Frequency of inspections. The frequency of inspections is as 
follows:
    (1) Schedule 1 facilities. As provided by the Convention, the 
frequency of inspections at declared Schedule 1 facilities is determined 
by the OPCW based on the risk to the object and purpose of the 
Convention posed by the quantities of chemicals produced, the 
characteristics of the facility and the nature of the activities carried 
out at the facility. The frequency of inspections will be stated in the 
facility agreement.
    (2) Schedule 2 plant sites. As provided by the Convention and the 
Act, the maximum number of inspections at declared Schedule 2 plant 
sites is two per calendar year per plant site. The OPCW will determine 
the frequency of routine inspections for each declared Schedule 2 plant 
site based on the Inspection Team's assessment of the risk to the object 
and purpose of the Convention posed by the relevant chemicals, the 
characteristics of the plant site, and the nature of the activities 
carried out there. The frequency of inspections will be stated in the 
facility agreement, if applicable.
    (3) Schedule 3 plant sites. As provided by the Convention, no 
declared Schedule 3 plant site may receive more than two inspections per 
calendar year and

[[Page 203]]

the combined number of inspections of Schedule 3 and UDOC plant sites in 
the United States may not exceed 20 per calendar year.
    (4) UDOC plant sites. As provided by the Convention, no declared 
UDOC plant site may receive more than two inspections per calendar year 
and the combined number of inspections of Schedule 3 and UDOC plant 
sites in the United States may not exceed 20 per calendar year.



Sec.716.6  Facility agreements.

    (a) Description and requirements. A facility agreement is a site-
specific agreement between the U.S. Government and the OPCW. Its purpose 
is to define procedures for inspections of a specific declared facility 
that is subject to inspection because of the type or amount of chemicals 
it produces, processes or consumes.
    (1) Schedule 1 facilities. The Convention requires that facility 
agreements be concluded between the United States and the OPCW for all 
declared Schedule 1 facilities. For new Schedule 1 production facilities 
declared pursuant to Sec.712.4 of the CWCR, the USNA, in coordination 
with the Department of Commerce, will conclude a facility agreement with 
the OPCW before the facility begins producing above 100 grams aggregate 
of Schedule 1 chemicals.
    (2) Schedule 2 plant sites. The USNA will ensure that such facility 
agreements are concluded with the OPCW unless the owner, operator, 
occupant or agent in charge of the plant site and the OPCW Technical 
Secretariat agree that such a facility agreement is not necessary.
    (3) Schedule 3 and UDOC plant sites. If the owner, operator, 
occupant or agent in charge of a declared Schedule 3 or UDOC plant site 
requests a facility agreement, the USNA will ensure that a facility 
agreement for such a plant site is concluded with the OPCW.
    (b) Notification; negotiation of draft and final facility 
agreements; and conclusion of facility agreements. Prior to the 
development of a facility agreement, BIS shall notify the owner, 
operator, occupant, or agent in charge of the facility, and if the 
owner, operator, occupant or agent in charge so requests, the notified 
person may participate in preparations with BIS representatives for the 
negotiation of such an agreement. During the initial or routine 
inspection of a declared facility, the Inspection Team and the Host Team 
will negotiate a draft facility agreement or amendment to a facility 
agreement. To the maximum extent practicable consistent with the 
Convention, the owner and the operator, occupant or agent in charge of 
the facility may observe facility agreement negotiations between the 
U.S. Government and OPCW. As a general rule, BIS will consult with the 
affected facility on the contents of the agreements and take the 
facility's views into consideration during negotiations. BIS will 
participate in the negotiation of, and approve, all final facility 
agreements with the OPCW. Facilities will be notified of and have the 
right to observe final facility agreement negotiations between the 
United States and the OPCW to the maximum extent practicable, consistent 
with the Convention. Prior to the conclusion of a final facility 
agreement, the affected facility will have an opportunity to comment on 
the facility agreement. BIS will give consideration to such comments 
prior to approving final facility agreements with the OPCW. The USNA 
shall ensure that facility agreements for Schedule 1, Schedule 2, 
Schedule 3 and UDOC facilities are concluded, as appropriate, with the 
OPCW in coordination with BIS.
    (c) [Reserved]
    (d) Further information. For further information about facility 
agreements, please write or call: Treaty Compliance Division, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 4515, 14th

[71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, as amended at 73 FR 78183, Dec. 22, 2008]



Sec.716.7  Samples.

    The owner, operator, occupant or agent in charge of a facility must 
provide a sample as provided for in the Convention and the Act and 
consistent with requirements set forth by the Director of the United 
States National Authority in 22 CFR part 103. Analysis

[[Page 204]]

will be restricted to verifying the absence of undeclared scheduled 
chemicals, unless otherwise agreed after consultation with the facility 
representative.



Sec.716.8  On-site monitoring of Schedule 1 facilities.

    Declared Schedule 1 facilities are subject to verification by 
monitoring with on-site instruments as provided by the Convention. For 
facilities subject to the CWCR, however, such monitoring is not 
anticipated. The U.S. Government will ensure that any monitoring that 
may be requested by the OPCW is carried out pursuant to the Convention 
and U.S. law.



Sec.716.9  Report of inspection-related costs.

    Pursuant to section 309(b)(5) of the Act, any facility that has 
undergone any inspections pursuant to the CWCR during a given calendar 
year must report to BIS within 90 days of an inspection on its total 
costs related to that inspection. Although not required, such reports 
should identify categories of costs separately if possible, such as 
personnel costs (production-line, administrative, legal), costs of 
producing records, and costs associated with shutting down chemical 
production or processing during inspections, if applicable. This 
information should be reported to BIS on company letterhead at the 
address given in Sec.716.6(d) of the CWCR, with the following 
notation: ``Attn: Report of inspection-related costs.''



Sec.716.10  Post-inspection activities.

    BIS will forward a copy of the final inspection report to the 
inspected facility for their review upon receipt from the OPCW. 
Facilities may submit comments on the final inspection report to BIS, 
within the time-frame specified by BIS (i.e., at least 7 working days 
from receipt of the report), and BIS will consider them, to the extent 
possible, when commenting on the final report. BIS will also send 
facilities a post-inspection letter detailing the issues that require 
follow-up action, e.g., amended declaration requirement (see Sec. Sec.
712.7(d), 713.5(d), 714.4(d), and 715.2(c) of the CWCR), information on 
the status of the draft facility agreement, if applicable, and the date 
on which the report on inspection-related costs (see Sec.716.9 of the 
CWCR) is due to BIS.

    Authority: 22 U.S.C. 6701 et seq., 2681; E.O. 13128, 64 FR 36703, 3 
CFR 1999 Comp., p. 199.

    Source: 71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.717.1  Clarification procedures; challenge inspection requests
pursuant to Article IX of the Convention.

    (a) Article IX of the Convention sets forth procedures for 
clarification, between States Parties, of issues about compliance with 
the Convention. States Parties may attempt to resolve such issues 
through consultation between themselves or through the Organization for 
the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). A State Party may also 
request the OPCW to conduct an on-site challenge inspection of any 
facility or location in the territory or in any other place under the 
jurisdiction or control of any other State Party. Such an on-site 
challenge inspection request shall be for the sole purpose of clarifying 
and resolving any questions concerning possible non-compliance with the 
Convention.
    (b) In the event that BIS receives a request for clarification, 
pursuant to Article IX of the Convention, concerning possible non-
compliance with the CWC, any person or facility subject to the CWCR 
(parts 710 through 729 of this subchapter) that receives an official 
written request from BIS for clarification must, within five working 
days from receipt of such request, provide BIS with any relevant 
information required to respond to the OPCW or the State Party(ies) who 
requested clarification under Article IX. BIS will contact the person or 
facility subject to the Article IX clarification, as early as 
practicable, prior to issuing an official written request for 
clarification to the person or facility.



Sec.717.2  Challenge inspections.

    Persons or facilities, other than U.S. Government facilities as 
defined in Sec.710.2(a) of the CWCR, may be subject to a challenge 
inspection by the OPCW concerning possible non-compliance with the 
requirements of the Convention, irrespective of whether or not they are 
required to submit declarations or reports under the CWCR. BIS will host 
and escort the international Inspection Team for challenge inspections 
in the United States of such persons or facilities.
    (a) Consent to challenge inspections; warrants for challenge 
inspections. (1) The owner, operator, occupant or agent in charge of a 
facility may consent to a challenge inspection. The individual giving 
consent on behalf of the facility represents that he or she has the 
authority to make this decision for the facility. The facility must 
respond to the notice of inspection, which includes within it a request 
for consent to the inspection, within four hours of the facility's 
receipt of the notice of inspection from BIS.
    (2) In instances where the owner, operator, occupant or agent in 
charge of a facility does not consent to a challenge inspection, BIS 
will assist the Department of Justice in seeking a criminal warrant as 
provided by the Act. The existence of a facility agreement does not in 
any way limit the right of the operator of the facility to withhold 
consent to a challenge inspection request.
    (b) Notice of challenge inspection. Challenge inspections may be 
made only upon issuance of written notice by the United States National 
Authority (USNA) to the owner and to the operator, occupant or agent in 
charge of the premises. BIS will provide notice of inspection to the 
inspection point of contact at such time that a person or facility has 
been clearly established, if possible, and when notification is deemed 
appropriate. If the United States is unable to provide actual written 
notice to the owner and to the operator, occupant or agent in charge, 
BIS (or another appropriate agency, if

[[Page 206]]

BIS is unable) may post notice prominently at the plant, plant site or 
other facility or location to be inspected.
    (1) Timing. The OPCW will notify the USNA of a challenge inspection 
not less than 12 hours before the planned arrival of the Inspection Team 
at the U.S. point of entry. Written notice will be provided to the owner 
and to the operator, occupant, or agent in charge of the premises at any 
appropriate time determined by the USNA after receipt of notification 
from the OPCW Technical Secretariat.
    (2)(i) Content of notice. The notice of inspection shall include all 
appropriate information provided by the OPCW to the United States 
National Authority concerning:
    (A) The type of inspection;
    (B) The basis for the selection of the facility or locations for the 
type of inspection sought;
    (C) The time and date that the inspection will begin and the period 
covered by the inspection;
    (D) The names and titles of the Inspection Team members; and
    (E) All appropriate evidence or reasons provided by the requesting 
State Party for seeking the inspection.
    (ii) In addition to appropriate information provided by the OPCW in 
its notification to the USNA, the notice of inspection that BIS delivers 
to the facility will request the facility to indicate whether it will 
consent to an inspection and will state whether an advance team is 
available to assist the site in preparation for the inspection. If an 
advance team is available, facilities that request advance team 
assistance are not required to reimburse the U.S. Government for costs 
associated with these activities. If a facility does not agree to 
provide consent to an inspection within four hours of receipt of the 
inspection notification, BIS will assist the Department of Justice in 
seeking a criminal warrant.
    (c) Period of inspection. Challenge inspections will not exceed 84 
hours, unless extended by agreement between the Inspection Team and the 
Host Team Leader.
    (d) Scope and conduct of inspections--(1) General. Each inspection 
shall be limited to the purposes described in this section and conducted 
in the least intrusive manner, consistent with the effective and timely 
accomplishment of its purpose as provided in the Convention.
    (2) Scope of inspections. If an owner, operator, occupant, or agent 
in charge of a facility consents to a challenge inspection, the 
inspection will be conducted under the authority of the Act and in 
accordance with the provisions of Article IX and applicable provisions 
of the Verification Annex of the Convention. If consent is not granted, 
the inspection will be conducted pursuant to the terms of a criminal 
warrant issued under the authority of the Act.
    (3) Hours of inspections. Consistent with the provisions of the 
Convention, the Host Team will ensure, to the extent possible, that each 
inspection is commenced, conducted, and concluded during ordinary 
working hours, but no inspection shall be prohibited or otherwise 
disrupted from commencing, continuing or concluding during other hours.
    (4) Health and safety regulations and requirements. In carrying out 
their activities, the Inspection Team and Host Team shall observe 
federal, state, and local health and safety regulations and health and 
safety requirements established at the inspection site, including those 
for the protection of controlled environments within a facility and for 
personal safety.
    (5) Pre-inspection briefing. Upon arrival of the Inspection Team and 
the Host Team in the vicinity of the inspection site and before 
commencement of the inspection, facility representatives will provide 
the Inspection Team and the Host Team with a pre-inspection briefing 
concerning the facility, the activities carried out there, safety 
measures, and administrative and logistical arrangements necessary for 
the inspection, which may be aided with the use of maps and other 
documentation as deemed appropriate by the facility. The time spent for 
the briefing may not exceed three hours.



Sec.717.3  Samples.

    If requested by the Inspection Team, the owner, operator, occupant 
or agent in charge of a facility must provide a sample, as provided for 
in the Convention and the Act and consistent with

[[Page 207]]

requirements set forth by the Director of the United States National 
Authority in 22 CFR part 103. This may be done by providing a sample, 
taken in the presence of the Inspection Team, to the U.S. Host Team 
leader, who will then release it to the Inspection Team for analysis. 
Analysis of the sample may be restricted to verifying the presence or 
absence of Schedule 1, 2, or 3 chemicals, or appropriate degradation 
products, unless agreed otherwise.



Sec.717.4  Report of inspection-related costs.

    Pursuant to section 309(b)(5) of the Act, any facility that has 
undergone any inspections pursuant to the CWCR during a given calendar 
year must report to BIS within 90 days of an inspection on its total 
costs related to that inspection. Although not required, such reports 
should identify categories of costs separately if possible, such as 
personnel costs (production-line, administrative, legal), costs of 
producing records, and costs associated with shutting down chemical 
production or processing during inspections, if applicable. This 
information should be reported to BIS on company letterhead at the 
address given in Sec.716.6(d) of the CWCR, with the following 
notation: ``AATTN: Report of Inspection-related Costs.''



Sec.717.5  Post-inspection activities.

    BIS will forward a copy of the final inspection report to the 
inspected facility for their review upon receipt from the OPCW. 
Facilities may submit comments on the final inspection report to BIS, 
and BIS will consider them, to the extent possible, when commenting on 
the final report. BIS will also send facilities a post-inspection letter 
detailing the issues that require follow-up action and the date on which 
the report on inspection-related costs (see Sec.717.4 of the CWCR) is 
due to BIS.

    (c) Pricing data;
    (d) Personnel data;
    (e) Research data;
    (f) Patent data;
    (g) Data maintained for compliance with environmental or 
occupational health and safety regulations;

    (l) Any commercial sale, shipment or use of a chemical; or
    (m) Information that qualifies as a trade secret under 5 U.S.C. 
552(b)(4) (Freedom of Information Act), provided such trade secret is

718.2  Identification of confidential business information.

    (a) General. Certain confidential business information submitted to 
BIS in declarations and reports does not need to be specifically 
identified and marked by the submitter, as described in paragraph (b) of 
this section. Other

[[Page 208]]

confidential business information submitted to BIS in declarations and 
reports and confidential business information provided to the Host Team 
during inspections must be identified by the inspected facility so that 
the Host Team can arrange appropriate marking and handling.
    (b) Confidential business information contained in declarations and 
reports. (1) BIS has identified those data fields on the declaration and 
report forms that request ``confidential business information'' as 
defined by the Act. These data fields are identified in the table 
provided in supplement no. 1 to this part.
    (2) You must specifically identify in a cover letter submitted with 
your declaration or report any additional information on a declaration 
or report form (i.e., information not provided in one of the data fields 
listed in the table included in supplement no. 1 to this part), 
including information provided in attachments to Form A or Form B, that 
you believe is confidential business information, as defined by the Act, 
and must describe how disclosure would likely result in competitive 
harm.

    Note to Sec.718.2(b): BIS has also determined that descriptions of 
Schedule 1 facilities submitted with Initial Declarations as attachments 
to Form A contain confidential business information, as defined by the 
Act.

    (c) Confidential business information contained in advance 
notifications. Information contained in advance notifications of exports 
and imports of Schedule 1 chemicals is not subject to the confidential 
business information provisions of the Act. You must identify 
information in your advance notifications of Schedule 1 imports that you 
consider to be privileged and confidential, and describe how disclosure 
would likely result in competitive harm. See Sec.718.3(b) of the CWCR 
for provisions on disclosure to the public of such information by the 
U.S. Government.
    (d) Confidential business information related to inspections 
disclosed to, reported to, or otherwise acquired by, the U.S. 
Government. (1) During inspections, certain confidential business 
information, as defined by the Act, may be disclosed to the Host Team. 
Facilities being inspected are responsible for identifying confidential 
business information to the Host Team, so that if it is disclosed to the 
Inspection Team, appropriate marking and handling can be arranged, in 
accordance with the provisions of the Convention (see Sec.
718.3(c)(1)(ii) of the CWCR). Confidential business information not 
related to the purpose of an inspection or not necessary for the 
accomplishment of an inspection, as determined by the Host Team, may be 
removed from sight, shrouded, or otherwise not disclosed.
    (2) Before or after inspections, confidential business information 
related to an inspection that is contained in any documents or that is 
reported to, or otherwise acquired by, the U.S. Government, such as 
facility information for pre-inspection briefings, facility agreements, 
and inspection reports, must be identified by the facility so that it 
may be appropriately marked and handled. If the U.S. Government creates 
derivative documents from such documents or reported information, they 
will also be marked and handled as confidential business information.



Sec.718.3  Disclosure of confidential business information.

    (a) General. Confidentiality of information will be maintained by 
BIS consistent with the non-disclosure provisions of the Act, the Export 
Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts 730 through 774), the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR parts 120 through 
130), and applicable exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act, as 
appropriate.
    (b) Disclosure of confidential business information contained in 
advance notifications. Information contained in advance notifications of 
exports and imports of Schedule 1 chemicals is not subject to the 
confidential business information provisions of the Act. Disclosure of 
such information will be in accordance with the provisions of the 
relevant statutory and regulatory authorities as follows:
    (1) Exports of Schedule 1 chemicals. Confidentiality of all 
information contained in these advance notifications will be maintained 
consistent with the non-disclosure provisions of the Export 
Administration Regulations (15 CFR

[[Page 209]]

parts 730 through 774), the International Traffic in Arms Regulations 
(22 CFR parts 120 through 130), and applicable exemptions under the 
Freedom of Information Act, as appropriate; and
    (2) Imports of Schedule 1 chemicals. Confidentiality of information 
contained in these advance notifications will be maintained pursuant to 
applicable exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act.
    (c) Disclosure of confidential business information pursuant to 
Sec.404(b) of the Act--(1) Disclosure to the Organization for the 
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). (i) As provided by Section 
404(b)(1) of the Act, the U.S. Government will disclose or otherwise 
provide confidential business information to the Technical Secretariat 
of the OPCW or to other States Parties to the Convention, in accordance 
with provisions of the Convention, particularly with the provisions of 
the Annex on the Protection of Confidential Information (Confidentiality 
Annex).
    (ii) Convention provisions. (A) The Convention provides that States 
Parties may designate information submitted to the Technical Secretariat 
as confidential, and requires the OPCW to limit access to, and prevent 
disclosure of, information so designated, except that the OPCW may 
disclose certain confidential information submitted in declarations to 
other States Parties if requested. The OPCW has developed a 
classification system whereby States Parties may designate the 
information they submit in their declarations as ``restricted,'' 
``protected,'' or ``highly protected,'' depending on the sensitivity of 
the information. Other States Parties are obligated, under the 
Convention, to store and restrict access to information which they 
receive from the OPCW in accordance with the level of confidentiality 
established for that information.
    (B) The OPCW Inspection Team members are prohibited, under the terms 
of their employment contracts and pursuant to the Confidentiality Annex 
of the Convention, from disclosing to any unauthorized persons, during 
their employment and for five years after termination of their 
employment, any confidential information coming to their knowledge or 
into their possession in the performance of their official duties.
    (iii) U.S. Government designation of information to the Technical 
Secretariat. It is the policy of the U.S. Government to designate all 
facility information it provides to the Technical Secretariat in 
declarations, reports and Schedule 1 advance notifications as 
``protected.'' It is the policy of the U.S. Government to designate 
confidential business information that it discloses to Inspection Teams 
during inspections as ``protected'' or ``highly protected,'' depending 
on the sensitivity of the information. The Technical Secretariat is 
responsible for storing and limiting access to any confidential business 
information contained in a document according to its established 
procedures.
    (2) Disclosure to Congress. Section 404(b)(2) of the Act provides 
that the U.S. Government must disclose confidential business information 
to any committee or subcommittee of Congress with appropriate 
jurisdiction upon the written request of the chairman or ranking 
minority member of such committee or subcommittee. No such committee or 
subcommittee, and no member and no staff member of such committee or 
subcommittee, may disclose such information or material except as 
otherwise required or authorized by law.
    (3) Disclosure to other Federal agencies for law enforcement actions 
and disclosure in enforcement proceedings under the Act. Section 
404(b)(3) of the Act provides that the U.S. Government must disclose 
confidential business information to other Federal agencies for 
enforcement of the Act or any other law, and must disclose such 
information when relevant in any proceeding under the Act. Disclosure 
will be made in such manner as to preserve confidentiality to the extent 
practicable without impairing the proceeding. Section 719.14(b) of the 
CWCR provides that all hearings will be closed, unless the 
Administrative Law Judge for good cause shown determines otherwise. 
Section 719.20 of the CWCR provides that parties may request that the 
administrative law judge segregate and restrict access to confidential 
business information contained in material in the record of an 
enforcement proceeding.

[[Page 210]]

    (4) Disclosure to the public; national interest determination. 
Section 404(c) of the Act provides that confidential business 
information, as defined by the Act, that is in the possession of the 
U.S. Government, is exempt from public disclosure in response to a 
Freedom of Information Act request, except when such disclosure is 
determined to be in the national interest.
    (i) National interest determination. The United States National 
Authority (USNA), in coordination with the CWC interagency group, shall 
determine on a case-by-case basis if disclosure of confidential business 
information in response to a Freedom of Information Act request is in 
the national interest.
    (ii) Notification of intent to disclose pursuant to a national 
interest determination. The Act provides for notification to the 
affected person of intent to disclose confidential business information 
based on the national interest, unless such notification of intent to 
disclose is contrary to national security or law enforcement needs. If, 
after coordination with the agencies that constitute the CWC interagency 
group, the USNA does not determine that such notification of intent to 
disclose is contrary to national security or law enforcement needs, the 
USNA will notify the person that submitted the information and the 
person to whom the information pertains of the intent to disclose the 
information.

Sec.719.1  Scope and definitions.

    (a) Scope. This part 719 describes the various sanctions that apply 
to violations of the Act and the CWCR. It also establishes detailed 
administrative procedures for certain violations of the Act. The three 
categories of violations are as follows:
    (1) Violations of the Act subject to administrative and criminal 
enforcement proceedings. Section 719.2 of the CWCR sets forth violations 
for which the statutory basis is the Act. BIS investigates these 
violations and, for administrative proceedings, prepares charges, 
provides legal representation to the U.S. Government, negotiates 
settlements, and makes recommendations to officials of the Department of 
State with respect to the initiation and resolution of proceedings. The 
administrative procedures applicable to these violations are found in 
Sec. Sec.719.5 through 719.22 of the CWCR. The Department of State 
gives notice of initiation of administrative proceedings and issues 
orders imposing penalties pursuant to 22 CFR part 103, subpart C.
    (2) Violations of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act 
(IEEPA) subject to judicial enforcement proceedings. Section 719.3 of 
the CWCR sets forth violations of the Chemical Weapons Convention for 
which the statutory basis is the IEEPA. BIS refers these violations to 
the Department of Justice for civil or criminal judicial enforcement.
    (3) Violations and sanctions under the Act not subject to 
proceedings under the CWCR. Section 719.4 of the CWCR sets forth 
violations and sanctions under the Act that are not violations of the 
CWCR and that are not subject to proceedings under the CWCR. This 
section is included solely for informational purposes. BIS may assist in 
investigations of these violations, but has no authority to initiate any 
enforcement action under the CWCR.

    Note to Sec.719.1(a): This part 719 does not apply to violations 
of the export requirements imposed pursuant to the Chemical Weapons 
Convention and set forth in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) 
(15 CFR parts 730 through 774) and in the International Traffic in Arms 
Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR parts 120 through 130).

    (b) Definitions. The following are definitions of terms as used only 
in parts 719 and 720 of the CWCR. For definitions of terms applicable to 
parts 710 through 718 and parts 721 and 722 of the CWCR, see part 710 of 
the CWCR.
    Act (The). The Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act of 
1998 (22 U.S.C. 6701-6777).
    Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement. The Assistant Secretary 
for Export Enforcement, Bureau of Industry and Security, United States 
Department of Commerce.
    Final decision. A decision or order assessing a civil penalty, or 
otherwise disposing of or dismissing a case, which is not subject to 
further administrative review, but which may be subject to collection 
proceedings or judicial review in an appropriate Federal court as 
authorized by law.
    IEEPA. The International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as amended 
(50 U.S.C. 1701-1706).
    Office of Chief Counsel. The Office of Chief Counsel for Industry 
and Security, United States Department of Commerce.
    Report. For purposes of parts 719 and 720 of the CWCR, the term 
``report'' means any declaration, report, or advance notification 
required under parts 712 through 715 of the CWCR.
    Respondent. Any person named as the subject of a letter of intent to 
charge, or a Notice of Violation and Assessment (NOVA) and proposed 
order.
    Under Secretary, Bureau of Industry and Security. The Under 
Secretary, Bureau of Industry and Security, United States Department of 
Commerce.

[71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, as amended at 72 FR 14410, Mar. 28, 2007]



Sec.719.4  Violations and sanctions under the Act not subject to

other proceeds from an offense may be fined not more than twice the 
gross profits or other proceeds.
    (d) Injunction. (1) The United States may, in a civil action, obtain

Sec.719.5  Initiation of administrative proceedings.

    (a) Letter of intent to charge. The Director of the Office of Export 
Enforcement, Bureau of Industry and Security, may notify a respondent by 
letter of the intent to charge. This letter of intent to charge will 
advise a respondent that BIS has conducted an investigation and intends 
to recommend that the Secretary of State issue a Notice of Violation and 
Assessment (NOVA). The letter of intent to charge will be accompanied by 
a draft NOVA and proposed order, and will give the respondent a 
specified period of time to contact BIS to discuss settlement of the 
allegations set forth in the draft NOVA. An administrative enforcement 
proceeding is not initiated by a letter of intent to charge. If the 
respondent does not contact BIS within the specified time, or if the 
respondent requests it, BIS will make its request for initiation of an 
administrative enforcement proceeding to the Secretary of State in 
accordance with paragraph (b) of this section.
    (b) Request for Notice of Violation and Assessment (NOVA). The 
Director of the Office of Export Enforcement, Bureau of Industry and 
Security, may request that the Secretary of State initiate an 
administrative enforcement proceeding under this Sec.719.5 and 22 CFR 
103.7. If the request is in accordance with applicable law, the 
Secretary of State will initiate an administrative enforcement 
proceeding by issuing a NOVA. The Office of Chief Counsel shall serve 
the NOVA as directed by the Secretary of State.

[[Page 214]]

    (c) Content of NOVA. The NOVA shall constitute a formal complaint, 
and will set forth the basis for the issuance of the proposed order. It 
will set forth the alleged violation(s) and the essential facts with 
respect to the alleged violation(s), reference the relevant statutory, 
regulatory or other provisions, and state the amount of the civil 
penalty to be assessed. The NOVA will inform the respondent of the right 
to request a hearing pursuant to Sec.719.6 of the CWCR, inform the 
respondent that failure to request such a hearing shall result in the 
proposed order becoming final and unappealable on signature of the 
Secretary of State, and provide payment instructions. A copy of the 
regulations that govern the administrative proceedings will accompany 
the NOVA.
    (d) Proposed order. A proposed order shall accompany every NOVA, 
letter of intent to charge, and draft NOVA. It will briefly set forth 
the substance of the alleged violation(s) and the statutory, regulatory 
or other provisions violated. It will state the amount of the civil 
penalty to be assessed.
    (e) Notice. Notice of the intent to charge or of the initiation of 
formal proceedings shall be given to the respondent (or respondent's 
agent for service of process, or attorney) by sending relevant 
documents, via first class mail, facsimile, or by personal delivery.



Sec.719.6  Request for hearing and answer.

    (a) Time to answer. If the respondent wishes to contest the NOVA and 
proposed order issued by the Secretary of State, the respondent must 
request a hearing in writing within 15 business days from the postmarked 
date of the NOVA. If the respondent requests a hearing, the respondent 
must answer the NOVA within 30 days from the date of the request for 
hearing. The request for hearing and answer must be filed with the 
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), along with a copy of the NOVA and 
proposed order, and served on the Office of Chief Counsel, and any other 
address(es) specified in the NOVA, in accordance with Sec.719.8 of the 
CWCR.
    (b) Content of answer. The respondent's answer must be responsive to 
the NOVA and proposed order, and must fully set forth the nature of the 
respondent's defense(s). The answer must specifically admit or deny each 
separate allegation in the NOVA; if the respondent is without knowledge, 
the answer will so state and will operate as a denial. Failure to deny 
or controvert a particular allegation will be deemed an admission of 
that allegation. The answer must also set forth any additional or new 
matter the respondent contends supports a defense or claim of 
mitigation. Any defense or partial defense not specifically set forth in 
the answer shall be deemed waived, and evidence thereon may be refused, 
except for good cause shown.
    (c) English required. The request for hearing, answer, and all other 
papers and documentary evidence must be submitted in English.
    (d) Waiver. The failure of the respondent to file a request for a 
hearing and an answer within the times provided constitutes a waiver of 
the respondent's right to appear and contest the allegations set forth 
in the NOVA and proposed order. If no hearing is requested and no answer 
is provided, the proposed order will be signed and become final and 
unappealable.



Sec.719.7  Representation.

    A respondent individual may appear and participate in person, a 
corporation by a duly authorized officer or employee, and a partnership 
by a partner. If a respondent is represented by counsel, counsel shall 
be a member in good standing of the bar of any State, Commonwealth or 
Territory of the United States, or of the District of Columbia, or be 
licensed to practice law in the country in which counsel resides, if not 
the United States. The U.S. Government will be represented by the Office 
of Chief Counsel. A respondent personally, or through counsel or other 
representative who has the power of attorney to represent the 
respondent, shall file a notice of appearance with the ALJ, or, in cases 
where settlement negotiations occur before any filing with the ALJ, with 
the Office of Chief Counsel.

[[Page 215]]



Sec.719.8  Filing and service of papers other than the NOVA.

    (a) Filing. All papers to be filed with the ALJ shall be addressed 
to ``CWC Administrative Enforcement Proceedings'' at the address set 
forth in the NOVA, or such other place as the ALJ may designate. Filing 
by United States mail (first class postage prepaid), by express or 
equivalent parcel delivery service, via facsimile, or by hand delivery, 
is acceptable. Filing from a foreign country shall be by airmail or via 
facsimile. A copy of each paper filed shall be simultaneously served on 
all parties.
    (b) Service. Service shall be made by United States mail (first 
class postage prepaid), by express or equivalent parcel delivery 
service, via facsimile, or by hand delivery of one copy of each paper to 
each party in the proceeding. The Department of State is a party to 
cases under the CWCR, but will be represented by the Office of Chief 
Counsel. Therefore, service on the government party in all proceedings 
shall be addressed to Office of Chief Counsel for Industry and Security, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Room H-3839, Washington, DC 20230, or sent via facsimile to (202) 482-
0085. Service on a respondent shall be to the address to which the NOVA 
and proposed order was sent, or to such other address as the respondent 
may provide. When a party has appeared by counsel or other 
representative, service on counsel or other representative shall 
constitute service on that party.
    (c) Date. The date of filing or service is the day when the papers 
are deposited in the mail or are delivered in person, by delivery 
service, or by facsimile. Refusal by the person to be served, or by the 
person's agent or attorney, of service of a document or other paper will 
be considered effective service of the document or other paper as of the 
date of such refusal.
    (d) Certificate of service. A certificate of service signed by the 
party making service, stating the date and manner of service, shall 
accompany every paper, other than the NOVA and proposed order, filed and 
served on the parties.
    (e) Computation of time. In computing any period of time prescribed 
or allowed by this part, the day of the act, event, or default from 
which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included. 
The last day of the period so computed is to be included unless it is a 
Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal holiday (as defined in Rule 6(a) of the 
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure), in which case the period runs until 
the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, a Sunday, nor a 
legal holiday. Intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays are 
excluded from the computation when the period of time prescribed or 
allowed is 7 days or less.



Sec.719.9  Summary decision.

    The ALJ may render a summary decision disposing of all or part of a 
proceeding on the motion of any party to the proceeding, provided that 
there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the party is 
entitled to summary decision as a matter of law.



Sec.719.10  Discovery.

    (a) General. The parties are encouraged to engage in voluntary 
discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the 
subject matter of the pending proceeding. The provisions of the Federal 
Rules of Civil Procedure relating to discovery apply to the extent 
consistent with this part and except as otherwise provided by the ALJ or 
by waiver or agreement of the parties. The ALJ may make any order which 
justice requires to protect a party or person from annoyance, 
embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense. These orders may 
include limitations on the scope, method, time and place of discovery, 
and provisions for protecting the confidentiality of classified or 
otherwise sensitive information, including Confidential Business 
Information (CBI) as defined by the Act.
    (b) Interrogatories and requests for admission or production of 
documents. A party may serve on any party interrogatories, requests for 
admission, or requests for production of documents for inspection and 
copying, and a party concerned may apply to the ALJ for such enforcement 
or protective order as that party deems warranted with respect to such 
discovery. The service of

[[Page 216]]

a discovery request shall be made at least 20 days before the scheduled 
date of the hearing unless the ALJ specifies a shorter time period. 
Copies of interrogatories, requests for admission and requests for 
production of documents and responses thereto shall be served on all 
parties and a copy of the certificate of service shall be filed with the 
ALJ. Matters of fact or law of which admission is requested shall be 
deemed admitted unless, within a period designated in the request (at 
least 10 days after service, or within such additional time as the ALJ 
may allow), the party to whom the request is directed serves upon the 
requesting party a sworn statement either denying specifically the 
matters of which admission is requested or setting forth in detail the 
reasons why the party to whom the request is directed cannot truthfully 
either admit or deny such matters.
    (c) Depositions. Upon application of a party and for good cause 
shown, the ALJ may order the taking of the testimony of any person by 
deposition and the production of specified documents or materials by the 
person at the deposition. The application shall state the purpose of the 
deposition and set forth the facts sought to be established through the 
deposition.
    (d) Enforcement. The ALJ may order a party to answer designated 
questions, to produce specified documents or things or to take any other 
action in response to a proper discovery request. If a party does not 
comply with such an order, the ALJ may make a determination or enter any 
order in the proceeding as the ALJ deems reasonable and appropriate. The 
ALJ may strike related charges or defenses in whole or in part or may 
take particular facts relating to the discovery request to which the 
party failed or refused to respond as being established for purposes of 
the proceeding in accordance with the contentions of the party seeking 
discovery. In addition, enforcement by any district court of the United 
States in which venue is proper may be sought as appropriate.



Sec.719.11  Subpoenas.

    (a) Issuance. Upon the application of any party, supported by a 
satisfactory showing that there is substantial reason to believe that 
the evidence would not otherwise be available, the ALJ may issue 
subpoenas to any person requiring the attendance and testimony of 
witnesses and the production of such books, records or other documentary 
or physical evidence for the purpose of the hearing, as the ALJ deems 
relevant and material to the proceedings, and reasonable in scope. 
Witnesses shall be paid the same fees and mileage that are paid to 
witnesses in the courts of the United States. In case of contempt, 
challenge or refusal to obey a subpoena served upon any person pursuant 
to this paragraph, any district court of the United States, in which 
venue is proper, has jurisdiction to issue an order requiring any such 
person to comply with such subpoena. Any failure to obey such order of 
the court is punishable by the court as a contempt thereof.
    (b) Service. Subpoenas issued by the ALJ may be served by any of the 
methods set forth in Sec.719.8(b) of the CWCR.
    (c) Timing. Applications for subpoenas must be submitted at least 10 
days before the scheduled hearing or deposition, unless the ALJ 
determines, for good cause shown, that extraordinary circumstances 
warrant a shorter time.



Sec.719.12  Matters protected against disclosure.

    (a) Protective measures. The ALJ may limit discovery or introduction 
of evidence or issue such protective or other orders as in the ALJ's 
judgment may be needed to prevent undue disclosure of classified or 
sensitive documents or information, including Confidential Business 
Information as defined by the Act. Where the ALJ determines that 
documents containing classified or sensitive matter must be made 
available to a party in order to avoid prejudice, the ALJ may direct the 
other party to prepare an unclassified and nonsensitive summary or 
extract of the documents. The ALJ may compare the extract or summary 
with the original to ensure that it is supported by the source document 
and that it omits only so much as must remain undisclosed. The summary 
or extract may be admitted as evidence in the record.

[[Page 217]]

    (b) Arrangements for access. If the ALJ determines that the summary 
procedure outlined in paragraph (a) of this section is unsatisfactory, 
and that classified or otherwise sensitive matter must form part of the 
record in order to avoid prejudice to a party, the ALJ may provide the 
parties opportunity to make arrangements that permit a party or a 
representative to have access to such matter without compromising 
sensitive information. Such arrangements may include obtaining security 
clearances or giving counsel for a party access to sensitive information 
and documents subject to assurances against further disclosure, 
including a protective order, if necessary.



Sec.719.13  Prehearing conference.

    (a) On the ALJ's own motion, or on request of a party, the ALJ may 
direct the parties to participate in a prehearing conference, either in 
person or by telephone, to consider:
    (1) Simplification of issues;
    (2) The necessity or desirability of amendments to pleadings;
    (3) Obtaining stipulations of fact and of documents to avoid 
unnecessary proof; or
    (4) Such other matters as may expedite the disposition of the 
proceedings.
    (b) The ALJ may order the conference proceedings to be recorded 
electronically or taken by a reporter, transcribed and filed with the 
ALJ.
    (c) If a prehearing conference is impracticable, the ALJ may direct 
the parties to correspond with the ALJ to achieve the purposes of such a 
conference.
    (d) The ALJ will prepare a summary of any actions agreed on or taken 
pursuant to this section. The summary will include any written 
stipulations or agreements made by the parties.



Sec.719.14  Hearings.

    (a) Scheduling. Upon receipt of a written and dated request for a 
hearing, the ALJ shall, by agreement with all the parties or upon notice 
to all parties of at least 30 days, schedule a hearing. All hearings 
will be held in Washington, DC, unless the ALJ determines, for good 
cause shown, that another location would better serve the interest of 
justice.
    (b) Hearing procedure. Hearings will be conducted in a fair and 
impartial manner by the ALJ. All hearings will be closed, unless the ALJ 
for good cause shown determines otherwise. The rules of evidence 
prevailing in courts of law do not apply, and all evidentiary material 
deemed by the ALJ to be relevant and material to the proceeding and not 
unduly repetitious will be received and given appropriate weight, except 
that any evidence of settlement which would be excluded under Rule 408 
of the Federal Rules of Evidence is not admissible. Witnesses will 
testify under oath or affirmation, and shall be subject to cross-
examination.
    (c) Testimony and record. (1) A verbatim record of the hearing and 
of any other oral proceedings will be taken by reporter or by electronic 
recording, and filed with the ALJ. If any party wishes to obtain a 
written copy of the transcript, that party shall pay the costs of 
transcription. The parties may share the costs if both wish a 
transcript.
    (2) Upon such terms as the ALJ deems just, the ALJ may direct that 
the testimony of any person be taken by deposition and may admit an 
affidavit or declaration as evidence, provided that any affidavits or 
declarations have been filed and served on the parties sufficiently in 
advance of the hearing to permit a party to file and serve an objection 
thereto on the grounds that it is necessary that the affiant or 
declarant testify at the hearing and be subject to cross-examination.
    (d) Failure to appear. If a party fails to appear in person or by 
counsel at a scheduled hearing, the hearing may nevertheless proceed. 
The party's failure to appear will not affect the validity of the 
hearing or any proceeding or action taken thereafter.



Sec.719.15  Procedural stipulations.

    Unless otherwise ordered and subject to Sec.719.16 of the CWCR, a 
written stipulation agreed to by all parties and filed with the ALJ will 
modify the procedures established by this part.



Sec.719.16  Extension of time.

    The parties may extend any applicable time limitation by stipulation 
filed

[[Page 218]]

with the ALJ before the time limitation expires, or the ALJ may, on the 
ALJ's own initiative or upon application by any party, either before or 
after the expiration of any applicable time limitation, extend the time 
, except that the requirement that a hearing be demanded within 15 days, 
and the requirement that a final agency decision be made within 30 days, 
may not be modified.



Sec.719.17  Post-hearing submissions.

    All parties shall have the opportunity to file post-hearing 
submissions that may include findings of fact and conclusions of law, 
supporting evidence and legal arguments, exceptions to the ALJ's rulings 
or to the admissibility of evidence, and proposed orders and 
settlements.



Sec.719.18  Decisions.

    (a) Initial decision. After considering the entire record in the 
case, the ALJ will issue an initial decision based on a preponderance of 
the evidence. The decision will include findings of fact, conclusions of 
law, and a decision based thereon as to whether the respondent has 
violated the Act. If the ALJ finds that the evidence of record is 
insufficient to sustain a finding that a violation has occurred with 
respect to one or more allegations, the ALJ shall order dismissal of the 
allegation(s) in whole or in part, as appropriate. If the ALJ finds that 
one or more violations have been committed, the ALJ shall issue an order 
imposing administrative sanctions.
    (b) Factors considered in assessing penalties. In determining the 
amount of a civil penalty, the ALJ shall take into account the nature, 
circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation(s), and, with respect 
to the respondent, the respondent's ability to pay the penalty, the 
effect of a civil penalty on the respondent's ability to continue to do 
business, the respondent's history of prior violations, the respondent's 
degree of culpability, the existence of an internal compliance program, 
and such other matters as justice may require.
    (c) Certification of initial decision. The ALJ shall immediately 
certify the initial decision and order to the Executive Director of the 
Office of Legal Adviser, U.S. Department of State, 2201 C Street, NW., 
Room 5519, Washington, DC 20520, to the Office of Chief Counsel at the 
address in Sec.719.8, and to the respondent, by personal delivery or 
overnight mail.
    (d) Review of initial decision. The initial decision shall become 
the final agency decision and order unless, within 30 days, the 
Secretary of State modifies or vacates it, with or without conditions, 
in accordance with 22 CFR 103.8.



Sec.719.19  Settlement.

    (a) Settlements before issuance of a NOVA. When the parties have 
agreed to a settlement of the case, the Director of the Office of Export 
Enforcement will recommend the settlement to the Secretary of State, 
forwarding a proposed settlement agreement and order, which, in 
accordance with 22 CFR 103.9(a), the Secretary of State will approve and 
sign if the recommended settlement is in accordance with applicable law.
    (b) Settlements following issuance of a NOVA. The parties may enter 
into settlement negotiations at any time during the time a case is 
pending before the ALJ. If necessary, the parties may extend applicable 
time limitations or otherwise request that the ALJ stay the proceedings 
while settlement negotiations continue. When the parties have agreed to 
a settlement of the case, the Office of Chief Counsel will recommend the 
settlement to the Secretary of State, forwarding a proposed settlement 
agreement and order, which, in accordance with 22 CFR 103.9(b), the 
Secretary will approve and sign if the recommended settlement is in 
accordance with applicable law.
    (c) Settlement scope. Any respondent who agrees to an order imposing 
any administrative sanction does so solely for the purpose of resolving 
the claims in the administrative enforcement proceeding brought under 
this part. This reflects the fact that the government officials involved 
have neither the authority nor the responsibility for initiating, 
conducting, settling, or otherwise disposing of criminal proceedings. 
That authority and responsibility are vested in the Attorney General and 
the Department of Justice.

[[Page 219]]

    (d) Finality. Cases that are settled may not be reopened or 
appealed.



Sec.719.20  Record for decision.

    (a) The record. The transcript of hearings, exhibits, rulings, 
orders, all papers and requests filed in the proceedings, and, for 
purposes of any appeal under Sec.719.18 or under 22 CFR 103.8, the 
decision of the ALJ and such submissions as are provided for under Sec.
719.18 or 22 CFR 103.8 will constitute the record and the exclusive 
basis for decision. When a case is settled, the record will consist of 
any and all of the foregoing, as well as the NOVA or draft NOVA, 
settlement agreement, and order.
    (b) Restricted access. On the ALJ's own motion, or on the motion of 
any party, the ALJ may direct that there be a restricted access portion 
of the record for any material in the record to which public access is 
restricted by law or by the terms of a protective order entered in the 
proceedings. A party seeking to restrict access to any portion of the 
record is responsible, prior to the close of the proceeding, for 
submitting a version of the document(s) proposed for public availability 
that reflects the requested deletion. The restricted access portion of 
the record will be placed in a separate file and the file will be 
clearly marked to avoid improper disclosure and to identify it as a 
portion of the official record in the proceedings. The ALJ may act at 
any time to permit material that becomes declassified or unrestricted 
through passage of time to be transferred to the unrestricted access 
portion of the record.
    (c) Availability of documents--(1) Scope. All NOVAs and draft NOVAs, 
answers, settlement agreements, decisions and orders disposing of a case 
will be displayed on the BIS Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Web site, 
at http://www.bis.doc.gov/foia, which is maintained by the Office of 
Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of 
Commerce. This office does not maintain a separate inspection facility. 
The complete record for decision, as defined in paragraphs (a) and (b) 
of this section will be made available on request.
    (2) Timing. The record for decision will be available only after the 
final administrative disposition of a case. Parties may seek to restrict 
access to any portion of the record under paragraph (b) of this section.



Sec.719.21  Payment of final assessment.

    (a) Time for payment. Full payment of the civil penalty must be made 
within 30 days of the effective date of the order or within such longer 
period of time as may be specified in the order. Payment shall be made 
in the manner specified in the NOVA.
    (b) Enforcement of order. The government party may, through the 
Attorney General, file suit in an appropriate district court if 
necessary to enforce compliance with a final order issued under the 
CWCR. This suit will include a claim for interest at current prevailing 
rates from the date payment was due or ordered.
    (c) Offsets. The amount of any civil penalty imposed by a final 
order may be deducted from any sum(s) owed by the United States to a 
respondent.



Sec.719.22  Reporting a violation.

    If a person learns that a violation of the Convention, the Act, or 
the CWCR has occurred or may occur, that person may notify: Office of 
Export Enforcement, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Room H-4520, 
Washington, DC 20230; Tel: (202) 482-1208; Facsimile: (202) 482-0964.

Sec.720.1  Denial of export privileges for convictions under 
18 U.S.C. 229.

    Any person in the United States or any U.S. national may be denied 
export privileges after notice and opportunity for hearing if that 
person has been convicted under Title 18, Section 229 of the United 
States Code of knowingly:
    (a) Developing, producing, otherwise acquiring, transferring 
directly or indirectly, receiving, stockpiling, retaining, owning, 
possessing, or using, or threatening to use, a chemical weapon; or
    (b) Assisting or inducing, in any way, any person to violate 
paragraph (a) of this section, or attempting or conspiring to violate 
paragraph (a) of this section.



Sec.720.2  Initiation of administrative action denying export 
privileges.

    (a) Notice. BIS will notify any person convicted under Section 229, 
Title 18, United States Code, of BIS's intent to deny that person's 
export privileges. The notification letter shall reference the person's 
conviction, specify the number of years for which BIS intends to deny 
export privileges, set forth the statutory and regulatory authority for 
the action, state whether the denial order will be standard or non-
standard pursuant to supplement no. 1 to part 764 of the Export 
Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts 730 through 774), and provide 
that the person may request a hearing before the Administrative Law 
Judge within 30 days from the date of the notification letter.
    (b) Waiver. The failure of the notified person to file a request for 
a hearing within the time provided constitutes a waiver of the person's 
right to contest the denial of export privileges that BIS intends to 
impose.
    (c) Order of Assistant Secretary. If no hearing is requested, the 
Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement will order that export 
privileges be denied as indicated in the notification letter.

[71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, as amended at 73 FR 78183, Dec. 22, 2008]



Sec.720.3  Final decision on administrative action denying export
privileges.

    (a) Hearing. Any hearing that is granted by the ALJ shall be 
conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sec.719.14 of 
the CWCR.
    (b) Initial decision and order. After considering the entire record 
in the proceeding, the ALJ will issue an initial decision and order, 
based on a preponderance of the evidence. The ALJ may consider factors 
such as the seriousness of the criminal offense that is the basis for 
conviction, the nature and duration of the criminal sanctions imposed, 
and whether the person has undertaken any corrective measures. The ALJ 
may dismiss the proceeding if the evidence is insufficient to sustain a 
denial of export privileges, or may issue an order imposing a denial of 
export privileges for the length of time the ALJ deems appropriate. An 
order denying export privileges may be standard or non-standard, as 
provided in supplement no. 1 to part 764 of the Export Administration 
Regulations (15 CFR parts 730 through 774). The initial decision and 
order will be served on each party, and will be published in the Federal 
Register as the final decision of BIS 30 days after service, unless an 
appeal is filed in accordance with paragraph (c) of this section.
    (c) Grounds for appeal. (1) A party may, within 30 days of the ALJ's 
initial decision and order, petition the Under Secretary, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, for review of the initial decision and order. A 
petition for review must be filed with the Office of Under Secretary, 
Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, and shall be served on 
the Office of Chief Counsel for Industry and Security or on the 
respondent. Petitions for review may be filed only on one or more of the 
following grounds:
    (i) That a necessary finding of fact is omitted, erroneous or 
unsupported by substantial evidence of record;
    (ii) That a necessary legal conclusion or finding is contrary to 
law;
    (iii) That prejudicial procedural error occurred; or
    (iv) That the decision or the extent of sanctions is arbitrary, 
capricious or an abuse of discretion.
    (2) The appeal must specify the grounds on which the appeal is based

[[Page 221]]

and the provisions of the order from which the appeal was taken.
    (d) Appeal procedure. The Under Secretary, Bureau of Industry and 
Security, normally will not hold hearings or entertain oral arguments on 
appeals. A full written statement in support of the appeal must be filed 
with the appeal and be simultaneously served on all parties, who shall 
have 30 days from service to file a reply. At his/her discretion, the 
Under Secretary may accept new submissions, but will not ordinarily 
accept those submissions filed more than 30 days after the filing of the 
reply to the appellant's first submission.
    (e) Decisions. The Under Secretary's decision will be in writing and 
will be accompanied by an order signed by the Under Secretary, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, giving effect to the decision. The order may 
either dispose of the case by affirming, modifying or reversing the 
order of the ALJ, or may refer the case back to the ALJ for further 
proceedings. Any order that imposes a denial of export privileges will 
be published in the Federal Register.

[71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, as amended at 73 FR 78183, Dec. 22, 2008]



Sec.720.4  Effect of denial.

    Any person denied export privileges pursuant to this part shall be 
considered a ``person denied export privileges'' for purposes of the 
Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR parts 730 through 774). 
Orders denying export privileges pursuant to Parts 764 and 766 of the 
EAR are published in the Federal Register when they are issued and are 
legally controlling documents in accordance with their terms. BIS 
maintains unofficial compilations of persons denied export privileges on 
its Web site.

PART 721_INSPECTION OF RECORDS AND RECORDKEEPING--Table of Contents



Sec.
721.1 Inspection of records.
721.2 Recordkeeping.
721.3 Destruction or disposal of records.

    Authority: 22 U.S.C. 6701 et seq.; E.O. 13128, 64 FR 36703, 3 CFR 
1999 Comp., p. 199.

    Source: 71 FR 24929, Apr. 27, 2006, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.721.1  Inspection of records.

    Upon request by BIS or any other agency of competent jurisdiction, 
you must permit access to and copying of any record relating to 
compliance with the requirements of the CWCR. This requires that you 
make available the equipment and, if necessary, knowledgeable personnel 
for locating, reading, and reproducing any record.



Sec.721.2  Recordkeeping.

    (a) Requirements. Each person, facility, plant site or trading 
company required to submit a declaration, report, or advance 
notification under parts 712 through 715 of the CWCR must retain all 
supporting materials and documentation used by a unit, plant, facility, 
plant site or trading company to prepare such declaration, report, or 
advance notification to determine production, processing, consumption, 
export or import of chemicals. Each facility subject to inspection under 
Part 716 of the CWCR must retain all supporting materials and 
documentation associated with the movement into, around, and from the 
facility of declared chemicals and their feedstock or any product 
chemicals formed from such chemicals and feedstock. In the event that a 
declared facility is sold, the previous owner of the facility must 
retain all such supporting materials and documentation that were not 
transferred to the current owner of the facility (e.g., as part of the 
contract involving the sale of the facility)--otherwise, the current 
owner of the facility is responsible for retaining such supporting 
materials and documentation. Whenever the previous owner of a declared 
facility retains such supporting materials and documentation, the owner 
must inform BIS of any subsequent change in address or other contact 
information, so that BIS will be able to contact the previous owner of 
the facility, to arrange for access to such records, if BIS deems them 
relevant to inspection activities involving the facility (see Sec.
716.4 of the CWCR).

[[Page 222]]

    (b) Five year retention period. All supporting materials and 
documentation required to be kept under paragraph (a) of this section 
must be retained for five years from the due date of the applicable 
declaration, report, or advance notification, or for five years from the 
date of submission of the applicable declaration, report or advance 
notification, whichever is later. Due dates for declarations, reports 
and advance notifications are provided in parts 712 through 715 of the 
CWCR.
    (c) Location of records. If a facility is subject to inspection 
under part 716 of the CWCR, records retained under this section must be 
maintained at the facility or must be accessible electronically at the 
facility for purposes of inspection of the facility by Inspection Teams. 
If a facility is not subject to inspection under part 716 of the CWCR, 
records retained under this section may be maintained either at the 
facility subject to a declaration, report, or advance notification 
requirement, or at a remote location, but all records must be accessible 
to any authorized agent, official or employee of the U.S. Government 
under Sec.721.1 of the CWCR.
    (d) Reproduction of original records. (1) You may maintain 
reproductions instead of the original records provided all of the 
requirements of paragraph (b) of this section are met.
    (2) If you must maintain records under this part, you may use any 
photostatic, miniature photographic, micrographic, automated archival 
storage, or other process that completely, accurately, legibly and 
durably reproduces the original records (whether on paper, microfilm, or 
through electronic digital storage techniques). The process must meet 
all of the following requirements, which are applicable to all systems:
    (i) The system must be capable of reproducing all records on paper.
    (ii) The system must record and be able to reproduce all marks, 
information, and other characteristics of the original record, including 
both obverse and reverse sides (unless blank) of paper documents in 
legible form.
    (iii) When displayed on a viewer, monitor, or reproduced on paper, 
the records must exhibit a high degree of legibility and readability. 
For purposes of this section, legible and legibility mean the quality of 
a letter or numeral that enable the observer to identify it positively 
and quickly to the exclusion of all other letters or numerals. Readable 
and readability mean the quality of a group of letters or numerals being 
recognized as complete words or numbers.
    (iv) The system must preserve the initial image (including both 
obverse and reverse sides, unless blank, of paper documents) and record 
all changes, who made them and when they were made. This information 
must be stored in such a manner that none of it may be altered once it 
is initially recorded.
    (v) You must establish written procedures to identify the 
individuals who are responsible for the operation, use and maintenance 
of the system.
    (vi) You must keep a record of where, when, by whom, and on what 
equipment the records and other information were entered into the 
system.
    (3) Requirements applicable to a system based on digital images. For 
systems based on the storage of digital images, the system must provide 
accessibility to any digital image in the system. The system must be 
able to locate and reproduce all records according to the same criteria 
that would have been used to organize the records had they been 
maintained in original form.
    (4) Requirements applicable to a system based on photographic 
processes. For systems based on photographic, photostatic, or miniature 
photographic processes, the records must be maintained according to an 
index of all records in the system following the same criteria that 
would have been used to organize the records had they been maintained in 
original form.

Sec.721.3  Destruction or disposal of records.

    If BIS or other authorized U.S. government agency makes a formal or 
informal request for a certain record or records, such record or records 
may not be destroyed or disposed of without the written authorization of 
the requesting entity.

Sec.730.1  What these regulations cover.

    In this part, references to the Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR) are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. The EAR are 
issued by the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry 
and Security (BIS) under laws relating to the control of certain 
exports, reexports, and activities. In addition, the EAR implement 
antiboycott law provisions requiring regulations to prohibit specified 
conduct by United States persons that has the effect of furthering or 
supporting boycotts fostered or imposed by a country against a country 
friendly to United States. Supplement no. 1 to part 730 lists the 
control numbers assigned to information collection requirements under 
the EAR by the Office of Management and Budget pursuant to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995.



Sec.730.2  Statutory authority.

    The EAR have been designed primarily to implement the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, as amended, 50 U.S.C. app. 2401-2420 (EAA). 
There are numerous other legal authorities underlying the EAR. These are 
listed in the Federal Register documents promulgating the EAR and at the 
beginning of each part of the EAR in the Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR). From time to time, the President has exercised authority under 
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act with respect to the EAR 
(50 U.S.C. 1701-1706 (IEEPA)). The EAA is not permanent legislation, and 
when it has lapsed, Presidential executive orders under IEEPA have 
directed and authorized the continuation in force of the EAR.



Sec.730.3  ``Dual use'' and other types of items subject to the EAR.

    The term ``dual use'' is often used to describe the types of items 
subject to the EAR. A ``dual-use'' item is one that has civil 
applications as well as terrorism and military or weapons of mass 
destruction (WMD)-related applications. The precise description of what 
is ``subject to the EAR'' is in Sec.734.3, which does not limit the 
EAR to

[[Page 225]]

controlling only dual-use items. In essence, the EAR control any item 
warranting control that is not exclusively controlled for export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country) by another agency of the U.S. 
Government or otherwise excluded from being subject to the EAR pursuant 
to Sec.734.3(b) of the EAR. Thus, items subject to the EAR include 
purely civilian items, items with both civil and military, terrorism or 
potential WMD-related applications, and items that are exclusively used 
for military applications but that do not warrant control under the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR parts 120 et 
seq.).

[78 FR 22705, Apr. 16, 2013]



Sec.730.4  Other control agencies and departments.

    In addition to the departments and agencies mentioned in Sec.730.3 
of this part, other departments and agencies have jurisdiction over 
certain narrower classes of exports and reexports. These include the 
Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which 
administers controls against certain countries that are the object of 
sanctions affecting not only exports and reexports, but also imports and 
financial dealings. For your convenience, supplement no. 3 to part 730 
identifies other departments and agencies with regulatory jurisdiction 
over certain types of exports and reexports. This is not a comprehensive 
list, and the brief descriptions are only generally indicative of the 
types of controls administered and/or enforced by each agency.



Sec.730.5  Coverage of more than exports.

    The core of the export control provisions of the EAR concerns 
exports from the United States. You will find, however, that some 
provisions give broad meaning to the term ``export'', apply to 
transactions outside of the United States, or apply to activities other 
than exports.
    (a) Reexports. Commodities, software, and technology that have been 
exported from the United States are generally subject to the EAR with 
respect to reexport. Many such reexports, however, may go to many 
destinations without a license or will qualify for an exception from 
licensing requirements.
    (b) Foreign products. In some cases, exports from abroad, reexports 
or transfers (in-country) of items produced outside of the United States 
are subject to the EAR when they contain more than the de minimis amount 
of controlled U.S.-origin content as specified in Sec.734.4 of the EAR 
or when they are the direct product of specified ``technology,'' 
``software,'' or a ``plant or major component of a plant'' as specified 
in Sec.736.2(b)(3) of the EAR.
    (c) Scope of ``exports''. Certain actions that you might not regard 
as an ``export'' in other contexts do constitute an export subject to 
the EAR. The release of technology to a foreign national in the United 
States through such means as demonstration or oral briefing is deemed an 
export. Other examples of exports under the EAR include the return of 
foreign equipment to its country of origin after repair in the United 
States, shipments from a U.S. foreign trade zone, and the electronic 
transmission of non-public data that will be received abroad.
    (d) U.S. person activities. To counter the proliferation of weapons 
of mass destruction, the EAR restrict the involvement of ``United States 
persons'' anywhere in the world in exports of foreign-origin items, or 
in providing services or support, that may contribute to such 
proliferation.

[61 FR 12734, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 61 FR 68577, Dec. 30, 1996; 
74 FR 52882, Oct. 15, 2009; 85 FR 29852, May 19, 2020]



Sec.730.6  Control purposes.

    The export control provisions of the EAR are intended to serve the 
national security, foreign policy, nonproliferation of weapons of mass 
destruction, and other interests of the United States, which in many 
cases are reflected in international obligations or arrangements. Some 
controls are designed to restrict access to items subject to the EAR by 
countries or persons that might apply such items to uses inimical to 
U.S. interests. These include controls designed to stem the 
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and controls designed to 
limit the military and terrorism support capability of certain 
countries. The effectiveness

[[Page 226]]

of many of the controls under the EAR is enhanced by their being 
maintained as part of multilateral control arrangements. Multilateral 
export control cooperation is sought through arrangements such as the 
Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Australia Group, and the Missile Technology 
Control Regime. The EAR also include some export controls to protect the 
United States from the adverse impact of the unrestricted export of 
commodities in short supply.

[61 FR 12734, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 78 FR 22705, Apr. 16, 2013]



Sec.730.7  License requirements and exceptions.

    A relatively small percentage of exports and reexports subject to 
the EAR require an application to BIS for a license. Many items are not 
on the Commerce Control List (CCL) (supplement no. 1 to Sec.774.1 of 
the EAR), or, if on the CCL, require a license to only a limited number 
of countries. Other transactions may be covered by one or more of the 
License Exceptions in the EAR. In such cases no application need be made 
to BIS.



Sec.730.8  How to proceed and where to get help.

    (a) How the EAR are organized. The Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR) are structured in a logical manner. In dealing with the EAR you 
may find it helpful to be aware of the overall organization of these 
regulations. In order to determine what the rules are and what you need 
to do, review the titles and the introductory sections of the parts of 
the EAR.
    (1) How do you go about determining your obligations under the EAR? 
Part 732 of the EAR provides steps you may follow to determine your 
obligations under the EAR. You will find guidance to enable you to tell 
whether or not your transaction is subject to the EAR and, if it is, 
whether it qualifies for a License Exception or must be authorized 
through issuance of a license.
    (2) Are your items or activities subject to the EAR at all? Part 734 
of the EAR defines the items and activities that are subject to the EAR. 
Note that the definition of ``items subject to the EAR'' includes, but 
is not limited to, items listed on the Commerce Control List in part 774 
of the EAR.
    (3) If subject to the EAR, what do the EAR require? Part 736 of the 
EAR lists all the prohibitions that are contained in the EAR. Note that 
certain prohibitions (General Prohibitions One through Three) apply to 
items as indicated on the CCL, and others (General Prohibitions Four 
through Ten) prohibit certain activities and apply to all items subject 
to the EAR unless otherwise indicated.
    (4) Do you need a license for your item or activity? What policies 
will BIS apply if you do need to submit license application? The EAR 
have four principal ways of describing license requirements:
    (i) The EAR may require a license to a country if your item is 
listed on the CCL and the Country Chart in part 738 of the EAR tells 
that a license is required to that country. Virtually all Export Control 
Classification Numbers (ECCN) on the CCL are covered by the Country 
Chart in part 738 of the EAR. That part identifies the limited number of 
entries that are not included on the Chart. These ECCNs will state the 
specific countries that require a license or refer you to a self-
contained section, i.e., Short Supply in part 754 of the EAR, or 
Embargoes in part 746 of the EAR. If a license is required, you should 
consult part 740 of the EAR which describes the License Exception that 
may be available for items on the CCL. Part 742 of the EAR describes the 
licensing policies that BIS will apply in reviewing an application you 
file. Note that part 754 of the EAR on short supply controls and part 
746 on embargoes are self-contained parts that include the available 
exceptions and licensing policy.
    (ii) A license requirement may be based on the end-use or end-user 
in a transaction, primarily for proliferation reasons. Part 744 of the 
EAR describes such requirements and relevant licensing policies and 
includes both restrictions on items and restrictions on the activities 
of U.S. persons.
    (iii) A license is required for virtually all exports to embargoed 
destinations, such as Cuba. Part 746 of the EAR describes all the 
licensing requirements, license review policies and License Exceptions 
that apply to such

[[Page 227]]

destinations. If your transaction involves one of these countries, you 
should first look at this part. This part also describes controls that 
may be maintained under the EAR to implement UN sanctions.
    (iv) In addition, under Sec. Sec.736.2(b)(9) and (10) of the EAR, 
you may not engage in a transaction knowing a violation is about to 
occur or violate any orders, terms, and conditions under the EAR. Part 
764 of the EAR describes prohibited transactions with a person denied 
export privileges or activity that violates the terms or conditions of a 
denial order.
    (5) How do you file a license application and what will happen to 
the application once you do file it? What if you need authorization for 
multiple transactions? Parts 748 and 750 of the EAR provide information 
on license submission and processing. If your application is denied, 
part 756 of the EAR provides rules for filing appeals.
    (6) How do you clear shipments with the U.S. Customs Service? Part 
758 of the EAR describes the requirements for clearance of exports.
    (7) Where do you find the rules on restrictive trade practices and 
boycotts? Part 760 of the EAR deals with restrictive trade practices and 
boycotts.
    (8) Where are the rules on recordkeeping and enforcement? Part 762 
of the EAR sets out your recordkeeping requirements, and parts 764 and 
766 of the EAR deal with violations and enforcement proceedings.
    (9) What is the effect of foreign availability? Part 768 of the EAR 
provides rules for determining foreign availability of items subject to 
controls.
    (10) Do the EAR provide definitions and interpretations? Part 770 of 
the EAR contains interpretations and part 772 of the EAR lists 
definitions used.
    (b) Why the EAR are so detailed. Some people will find the great 
length of the EAR and their extensive use of technical terms 
intimidating. BIS believes, however, that such detail and precision can 
and does serve the interests of the public. The detailed listing of 
technical parameters in the CCL establishes precise, objective criteria. 
This should, in most cases, enable you to ascertain the appropriate 
control status. Broader, more subjective criteria would leave exporters 
and reexporters more dependent upon interpretations and rulings by BIS 
officials. Moreover, much of the detail in the CCL is derived from 
multilaterally adopted lists, and the specificity serves to enhance the 
uniformity and effectiveness of international control practices and to 
promote a ``level playing field''. The detailed presentation of such 
elements as licensing and export clearance procedures enables you to 
find in one place what you need to know to comply with pertinent 
requirements. Of special importance is the detailed listing of License 
Exception criteria, as these will enable you to determine quickly, and 
with confidence, that you may proceed with a transaction without delay. 
Finally, some of the detail results from the need to draft the EAR with 
care in order to avoid loop-holes and to permit effective enforcement.
    (c) Where to get help. Throughout the EAR you will find information 
on offices you can contact for various purposes and types of 
information. General information including assistance in understanding 
the EAR, information on how to obtain forms, electronic services, 
publications, and information on training programs offered by BIS, is 
available from the Office of Export Services at the following locations:

    Sec. Supplement No. 2 to Part 730--Technical Advisory Committees

    (a) Purpose. The purpose of this supplement is to describe the 
procedures and criteria for the establishment and operation of Technical 
Advisory Committees.
    (b) Technical advisory committees. Any producer of articles, 
materials, or supplies, including technology, software, and other 
information, that are subject to export controls, or are being 
considered for such controls because of their significance to the 
national security of the United States, may request the Secretary of 
Commerce to establish a technical advisory committee, under the 
provisions of section 5(h) of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as 
amended (EAA) to advise and assist the Department of Commerce and other 
appropriate U.S. Government agencies or officials with respect to 
questions involving technical matters; worldwide availability and actual 
utilization of production technology; licensing procedures that affect 
the level of export controls applicable to a clearly defined grouping of 
articles, materials, or supplies, including technology, software, or 
other information;

[[Page 230]]

and exports and reexports subject to all controls that the United States 
maintains including proposed revisions of any such controls. If 
producers of articles, materials, or supplies, including technology, 
software, and other information, that are subject to export controls 
because of their significance to the national security of the United 
States, wish a trade association or other representative to submit a 
written request on their behalf for the appointment to a TAC, such 
request shall be submitted in accordance with paragraph (b)(4) of this 
supplement.
    (1) Form and substance of requests. Each request for the appointment 
of a TAC shall be submitted in writing to: Assistant Secretary for 
Export Administration, 14th Street and Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Room 
2099B, Washington, DC 20230.
    The request shall include:
    (i) A description of the articles, materials, or supplies including 
technology and software, in terms of a clear, cohesive grouping (citing 
the applicable Export Control Classification Numbers where practical);
    (ii) A statement of the reasons for requesting the appointment of a 
TAC; and
    (iii) Any information in support of any contention that may be made 
that the request meets the criteria described in paragraph (b)(2) of 
this supplement.
    (2) Consideration of request for establishment of a TAC. The 
Department of Commerce will review all requests for the establishment of 
a TAC to determine if the following criteria are met:
    (i) That a substantial segment of the industry producing the 
specified articles, materials, or supplies including technology desires 
such a committee; and
    (ii) That the evaluation of such articles, materials, or supplies 
including technology and software for export control purposes is 
difficult because of questions involving technical matters, worldwide 
availability and actual utilization of production and software 
technology, or licensing procedures.
    (3) Requests by a substantial segment of an industry. In determining 
whether or not a substantial segment of any industry has requested the 
appointment of a TAC, the Department of Commerce will consider:
    (i) The number of persons or firms requesting the establishment of a 
TAC for a particular grouping of commodities, software and technology in 
relation to the total number of U.S. producers of such items; and
    (ii) The volume of annual production by such persons or firms of 
each item in the grouping in relation to the total U.S. production. 
Generally, a substantial segment of an industry (for purposes of this 
supplement) shall consist of:
    (A) Not less than 30 percent of the total number of U.S. producers 
of the items concerned; or
    (B) Three or more U.S. producers who produce a combined total of not 
less than 30 percent of the total U.S. annual production, by dollar 
value of the items concerned; or
    (C) Not less than 20 percent of the total number of U.S. producers 
of the items concerned, provided that the total of their annual 
production thereof is not less than 20 percent of the total U.S. annual 
production, by dollar value.
    (iii) If it is determined that a substantial segment of the industry 
concerned has requested the establishment of a TAC concerning a specific 
grouping of items that the Department of Commerce determines difficult 
to evaluate for export control purposes, BIS will establish and use the 
TAC requested.
    (4) Requests from trade associations or other representatives. 
Requests from trade associations or other representatives of U.S. 
producers for the establishment of a TAC must comply with the provisions 
of paragraphs (b) (1) through (3) of this supplement. In addition, in 
order to assist BIS in determining whether the criteria described in 
paragraph (b)(3) of this supplement have been met, a trade association 
or other representative submitting a request for the establishment of a 
TAC should include the following information:
    (i) The total number of firms in the particular industry;
    (ii) The total number of firms in the industry that have authorized 
the trade association or other representative to act in their behalf in 
this matter;
    (iii) The approximate amount of total U.S. annual production by 
dollar value of the items concerned produced by those firms that have 
authorized the trade association or other representative to act in their 
behalf; and
    (iv) A description of the method by which authorization to act on 
behalf of these producers was obtained.
    (5) Nominations for membership on TACs. When the Department of 
Commerce determines that the establishment of a TAC is warranted, it 
will request nominations for membership on the committee among the 
producers of the items and from any other sources that may be able to 
suggest well-qualified nominees.
    (6) Selection of industry members of committee. Industry members of 
a TAC will be selected by the Department of Commerce from a list of the 
nominees who have indicated their availability for service on the 
committee. To the extent feasible, the Department of Commerce will 
select a committee balanced to represent all significant facets of the 
industry involved, taking into consideration such factors as the size of 
the firms, their geographical distribution, and their product lines. No 
industry representative

    (f) Public attendance and participation. (1) Any member of the 
public who wishes to do so may file a written statement with any TAC 
before or after any meeting of a committee.
    (2) A request for an opportunity to deliver an oral statement 
relevant to matters on the agenda of a meeting of a TAC will be granted 
to the extent that the time available for the meeting permits. A 
committee may establish procedures requiring such persons to obtain 
advance approval for such participation.
    (3) Attendance at meetings of TACs will be open to the public unless 
it is determined pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act to be necessary to close all, or some portion, of the 
meeting to the public. A determination that a meeting or portion thereof 
be closed to the public may be made if all or a specific portion of a

Sec.732.1  Steps overview.

    (a)(1) Introduction. In this part, references to the EAR are 
references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. This part is intended to 
help you determine your obligations under the EAR by listing logical 
steps in Sec. Sec.732.2 through 732.5 of this part that you can take 
in reviewing these regulations. A flow chart describing these steps is 
contained in supplement no. 1 to part 732. By cross-references to the 
relevant provisions of the EAR, this part describes the suggested steps 
for you to determine applicability of the following:
    (i) The scope of the EAR (part 734 of the EAR);
    (ii) Each of the general prohibitions (part 736 of the EAR);
    (iii) The License Exceptions (part 740 of the EAR); and
    (iv) Other requirements such as clearing your export with the U.S. 
Customs Service, keeping records, and completing and documenting license 
applications.
    (2) These steps describe the organization of the EAR, the 
relationship among the provisions of the EAR, and the appropriate order 
for you to consider the various provisions of the EAR.
    (3) The general information in this part is intended to provide an 
overview of the steps to be taken for certain requirements in the EAR, 
though not all of them. Nothing in this part shall be construed as 
altering or affecting any other authority, regulation, investigation or 
other enforcement measure provided by or established under any other 
provision of federal law, including provisions of the EAR.

[[Page 234]]

    (b) Facts about your transaction. The following five types of facts 
determine your obligations under the EAR and will be of help to you in 
reviewing these steps:
    (1) What is it? What an item is, for export control purposes, 
depends on its classification, which is its place on the Commerce 
Control List (see part 774 of the EAR).
    (2) Where is it going? The country of ultimate destination for an 
export or reexport also determines licensing requirements (see parts 738 
and 774 of the EAR concerning the Country Chart and the Commerce Control 
List).
    (3) Who will receive it? The ultimate end-user of your item cannot 
be a bad end-user. See General Prohibition Four (Denial Orders) in Sec.
736.2(b)(4) and parts 744 and 764 of the EAR for a reference to the list 
of persons you may not deal with.
    (4) What will they do with it? The ultimate end-use of your item 
cannot be a bad end-use. See General Prohibition Five (End-Use End-User) 
in Sec.736.2(b)(5) and part 744 of the EAR for general end-use and 
end-user restrictions.
    (5) What else do they do? Conduct such as contracting, financing, 
and freight forwarding in support of a proliferation project (as 
described in Sec.744.6 of the EAR) may prevent you from dealing with 
someone.
    (c) Are your items and activities subject to the EAR? You should 
first determine whether your commodity, software, or technology is 
subject to the EAR (see part 734 of the EAR concerning scope), and Steps 
1 through 6 help you do that. For exports from the United States, only 
Steps 1 and 2 are relevant. If you already know that your item or 
activity is subject to the EAR, you should go on to consider the ten 
general prohibitions in part 736 of the EAR. If your item or activity is 
not subject to the EAR, you have no obligations under the EAR and may 
skip the remaining steps.
    (d) Does your item or activity require a license under one or more 
of the ten general prohibitions?--(1) Brief summary of the ten general 
prohibitions. The general prohibitions are found in part 736 of the EAR 
and referred to in these steps. They consist, very briefly, of the 
following:
    (i) General Prohibition One (Exports and Reexports): Export and 
reexport of controlled items to listed countries.
    (ii) General Prohibition Two (Parts and Components Reexports): 
Reexport and export from abroad of foreign-made items incorporating more 
than a de minimis amount of controlled U.S. content.
    (iii) General Prohibition Three (Foreign-produced Direct Product 
Reexports): Reexport and export from abroad of the foreign-produced 
direct product of U.S. technology and software.
    (iv) General Prohibition Four (Denial Orders): Engaging in actions 
prohibited by a denial order.
    (v) General Prohibition Five (End-Use End-User): Export or reexport 
to prohibited end uses or end users.
    (vi) General Prohibition Six (Embargo): Export or reexport to 
embargoed destinations.
    (vii) General Prohibition Seven (U.S. Person Proliferation 
Activity): Support of proliferation activities.
    (viii) General Prohibition Eight (In-Transit): In-transit shipments 
and items to be unladen from vessels and aircraft.
    (ix) General Prohibition Nine (Orders, Terms and Conditions): 
Violation of any orders, terms, or conditions.
    (x) General Prohibition Ten (Knowledge Violation to Occur): 
Proceeding with transactions with knowledge that a violation has 
occurred or is about to occur.
    (2) Controls on items on the Commerce Control List (CCL). If your 
item or activity is subject to the EAR, you should determine whether any 
one or more of the ten general prohibitions require a license for your 
export, reexport, or activity. Steps 7 through 11 refer to 
classification of your item on the Commerce Control List (CCL) (part 774 
of the EAR) and how to use the Country Chart (supplement no. 1 to part 
738 of the EAR) to determine whether a license is required based upon 
the classification of your item. These steps refer to General 
Prohibitions One (Exports and Reexports), Two (Parts and Components 
Reexports) , and Three (Foreign-Produced Direct Product Reexports) for 
all countries except: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and

[[Page 235]]

Syria. For these countries, you may skip Steps 7 through 11 and go 
directly to Step 12.
    (3) Controls on activities. Steps 12 through 18 refer to General 
Prohibitions Four through Ten. Those general prohibitions apply to all 
items subject to the EAR, not merely those items listed on the CCL in 
part 774 of the EAR. For example, they refer to the general prohibitions 
for persons denied export privileges, prohibited end-uses and end-users, 
countries subject to a comprehensive embargo (e.g., Cuba, Iran, North 
Korea and Syria), prohibited activities of U.S. persons in support of 
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, prohibited unlading of 
shipments, compliance with orders, terms and conditions, and activities 
when a violation has occurred or is about to occur.
    (4) General prohibitions. If none of the ten general prohibitions 
applies, you should skip the steps concerning License Exceptions and for 
exports from the United States, review Steps 27 through 29 concerning 
Shipper's Export Declarations to be filed with the U.S. Customs Service, 
Destination Control Statements for export control documents, and 
recordkeeping requirements.
    (e) Is a License Exception available to overcome the license 
requirement? If you decide by reviewing the CCL in combination with the 
Country Chart that a license is required for your destination, you 
should determine whether a License Exception will except you from that 
requirement. Steps 20 through 24 help you determine whether a License 
Exception is available. Note that generally License Exceptions are not 
available to overcome General Prohibitions Four through Ten. However, 
selected License Exceptions for embargoed destinations are specified in 
part 746 of the EAR and License Exceptions for short supply controls are 
specified in part 754 of the EAR. If a License Exception is available 
and the export is from the United States, you should review Steps 26 
through 28 concerning Shipper's Export Declarations to be filed with the 
U.S. Customs Service, Destination Control Statements for export control 
documents and recordkeeping requirements. If a License Exception is not 
available, go on to Steps 25 through 29.
    (f) How do you apply for a license? If you must file a license 
application, you should review the requirements of part 748 of the EAR 
as suggested by Step 26. Then you should review Steps 27 through 29 
concerning Shipper's Export Declarations to be filed with the U.S. 
Customs Service, Destination Control Statements for export control 
documents, and recordkeeping requirements.

Sec.732.2  Steps regarding scope of the EAR.

    Steps 1 though 6 are designed to aid you in determining the scope of 
the EAR. A flow chart describing these steps is contained in supplement 
no. 2 to part 732.
    (a) Step 1: Items subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of another 
Federal agency. This step is relevant for both exports and reexports. 
Determine whether your item is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of 
another Federal Agency as provided in Sec.734.3 of the EAR.
    (1) If your item is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of another 
Federal agency, comply with the regulations of that agency. You need not 
comply with the EAR and may skip the remaining steps.
    (2) If your item is not subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of 
another federal agency, then proceed to Step 2 in paragraph (b) of this 
section.
    (b) Step 2: Publicly available technology and software. This step is 
relevant for both exports and reexports. Determine if your technology or 
software is publicly available as defined and explained at part 734 of 
the EAR. Supplement no. 1 to part 734 of the EAR contains several 
practical examples describing publicly available technology and software 
that are outside the scope of the EAR. The examples are illustrative, 
not comprehensive. Note that encryption software classified under ECCN 
5D002 on the Commerce Control List (refer to supplement no.1 to Part 774 
of the

[[Page 236]]

EAR) is subject to the EAR even if publicly available, except for 
publicly available encryption object code software classified under ECCN 
5D002 when the corresponding source code meets the criteria specified in 
Sec.740.13(e) of the EAR. The following also remains subject to the 
EAR: ``Software'' or ``technology'' for the production of a firearm, or 
firearm frame or receiver, controlled under ECCN 0A501, as referenced in 
Sec.734.7(c) of the EAR).
    (1) If your technology or software is publicly available, and 
therefore outside the scope of the EAR, you may proceed with the export 
or reexport if you are not a U.S. person subject to General Prohibition 
Seven. If you are a U.S. person, go to Step 15 at Sec.732.3(j) of this 
part. If you are a U.S. person and General Prohibition Seven concerning 
proliferation activity of U.S. persons does not apply, then you may 
proceed with the export or reexport of your publicly available 
technology or software. Note that all U.S. persons are subject to the 
provisions of General Prohibition Seven.
    (2) If your technology or software is not publicly available and you 
are exporting from the United States, skip to the Step 7 in Sec.
732.3(b) of this part concerning the general prohibitions.
    (3) If you are exporting items from a foreign country, you should 
then proceed to Step 3 in paragraph (c) of this section and the other 
steps concerning the scope of the EAR.
    (c) Step 3: Reexport of U.S.-origin items. This step is appropriate 
only for reexporters. For an item in a foreign country, you should 
determine whether the item is of U.S. origin. If it is of U.S.-origin, 
skip to Step 7 in Sec.732.3(b) of this part. If it is not of U.S. 
origin, then proceed to Step 4 in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (d) Step 4: Foreign-made items incorporating controlled U.S.-origin 
items. This step is appropriate only for items that are made outside the 
United States and not currently located in the United States. Special 
requirements and restrictions apply to foreign-made items that 
incorporate U.S.-origin encryption items (see Sec.734.4(a)(2), (b), 
and (g) of the EAR).
    (1) Determining whether your foreign made item is subject to the 
EAR. Using the guidance provided in supplement no. 2 to part 734 of the 
EAR, determine whether controlled U.S.-origin items are incorporated 
into the foreign-made item and are above the de minimis level set forth 
in Sec.734.4 of the EAR.
    (2) If no U.S.-origin controlled items are incorporated or if the 
percentage of incorporated U.S.-origin controlled items are equal to or 
below the de minimis level described in Sec.734.4 of the EAR, then the 
foreign-made item is not subject to the EAR by reason of the de minimis 
rules, and you should go on to consider Step 6 regarding the foreign-
produced direct product rule.
    (3) If the foreign-made item incorporates more than the de minimis 
level of U.S.-origin items, then that item is subject to the EAR and you 
should skip to Step 7 at Sec.732.3 of this part and consider the steps 
regarding all other general prohibitions, license exceptions, and other 
requirements to determine applicability of these provisions to the 
foreign-made item.
    (e) [Reserved]
    (f) Step 6: Direct product rule. Foreign items that are the direct 
product of U.S. technology, software, or plant or major component of a 
plant made from U.S. technology or software may be subject to the EAR if 
they meet the conditions of General Prohibition Three in Sec.
736.2(b)(3) of the EAR. Direct products that are subject to the EAR may 
require a license to be exported from abroad or reexported to certain 
countries.
    (1) Subject to the EAR. If your foreign item is captured by the 
direct product rule (General Prohibition Three), then the item is 
subject to the EAR and its export from abroad or reexport may require a 
license. You should next consider the steps regarding all other general 
prohibitions, license exceptions, and other requirements. If the item is 
not captured by General Prohibition Three, then you have completed the 
steps necessary to determine whether the item is subject to the EAR, and 
you may skip the remaining steps. As described in part 734 of the EAR, 
items outside the U.S. are subject to the EAR when they are:

[[Page 237]]

    (i) U.S.-origin commodities, software, or technology, unless 
controlled for export exclusively by another U.S. Federal agency or 
unless publicly available;
    (ii) Foreign-origin commodities, software, or technology that are 
within the scope of General Prohibition Two (De minimis rules), or 
General Prohibition Three (Direct Product rule). However, such foreign-
origin items are also outside the scope of the EAR if they are 
controlled for export exclusively by another U.S. Federal Agency or, if 
technology or software, are publicly available as described in paragraph 
(b) of this section.
    (2) [Reserved]

Sec.732.3  Steps regarding the ten general prohibitions.

    (a) Introduction. If your item or activity is subject to the scope 
of the EAR, you should then consider each of the ten general 
prohibitions listed in part 736 of the EAR. General Prohibitions One 
((Exports and Reexports), Two (Parts and Components Reexports), and 
Three (Foreign-Produced Direct Product Reexports) (Sec.736.2(b) (1), 
(2), and (3) of the EAR) are product controls that are shaped and 
limited by parameters specified on the CCL and Country Chart. General 
Prohibitions Four through Ten are prohibitions on certain activities 
that are not allowed without authorization from BIS, and these 
prohibitions apply to all items subject to the EAR unless otherwise 
specified (Sec.736.2(b) (4) through (10) of the EAR).
    (b) Step 7: Classification. (1) You should classify your items 
``subject to the EAR'' in the relevant entry on the CCL, and you may do 
so on your own without BIS assistance. The CCL includes a supplement no. 
4 to part 774--Commerce Control List Order of Review. This supplement 
establishes the steps (i.e., the order of review) that should be 
followed in classifying items that are ``subject to the EAR.'' The 
exporter, reexporter, or transferor is responsible for correctly 
classifying the items in a transaction, which may involve submitting a 
classification request to BIS. Failure to classify or have classified 
the item correctly does not relieve the person of the obligation to 
obtain a license when one is required by the EAR.
    (2) You have a right to request the applicable classification of 
your item from BIS, and BIS has a duty to provide that classification to 
you. For further information on how to obtain classification assistance 
from BIS, see part 748 of the EAR.
    (3) For items subject to the EAR but not listed on the CCL, the 
proper classification is EAR99. This number is a ``basket'' for items 
not specified under any CCL entry and appears at the end of each 
Category on the CCL.
    (4) Items subject to temporary CCL controls are classified under the 
ECCN 0Y521 series (i.e., 0A521, 0B521, 0C521, 0D521 and 0E521) pursuant 
to Sec.742.6(a)(8) of the EAR while a determination is being made as 
to whether classification under a revised or new ECCN or EAR99 
designation is appropriate.
    (c) Step 8: Country of ultimate destination. You should determine 
the country of ultimate destination. The country of destination 
determines the applicability of several general prohibitions, License 
Exceptions, and other requirements. Note that part 754 of the EAR 
concerning short supply controls is self-contained and is the only 
location in the EAR that contains both the prohibitions and exceptions 
applicable to short supply controls.
    (d) Step 9: Reason for control and the Country Chart--(1) Reason for 
control and column identifier within the Export Control Classification 
Number (ECCN). Once you have determined that your item is controlled by 
a specific ECCN, you must use information contained in the ``License 
Requirements'' section of that ECCN in combination with the Country 
Chart to decide whether a license is required under General Prohibitions 
One, Two, or Three to a particular destination. The CCL and the Country 
Chart are taken together to define these license requirements. The 
applicable ECCN will indicate the reason or reasons for control for 
items

[[Page 238]]

within that ECCN. For example, ECCN 6A007 is controlled for national 
security, missile technology, and anti-terrorism reasons.
    (2) Reason for control within the Country Chart. With each of the 
applicable Country Chart column identifiers noted in the correct ECCN, 
turn to the Country Chart. Locate the correct Country Chart column 
identifier on the horizontal axis, and determine whether an ``X'' is 
marked in the cell next to the destination in question. Consult Sec.
738.4 of the EAR for comprehensive instructions on using the Country 
Chart and a detailed example.
    (i) An ``X'' in the cell or cells for the relevant country and 
reason(s) for control column indicates that a license is required for 
General Prohibitions One (Exports and Reexports in the Form Received), 
Two (Parts and Components Reexports), and Three (Foreign-Produced Direct 
Product Reexports). (See Sec.736.2 (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) of the 
EAR).
    (ii) If one or more cells have an ``X'' in the relevant column, a 
license is required unless you qualify for a License Exception described 
in part 740 of the EAR. If a cell does not contain an ``X'' for your 
destination in one or more relevant columns, a license is not required 
under the CCL and the Country Chart.
    (iii) Additional controls may apply to your export. You must go on 
to steps 12 through 18 described in paragraphs (g) to (m) of this 
section to determine whether additional limits described in General 
Prohibition Two (Parts and Components Reexports) and General Prohibition 
Three (Foreign-Produced Direct Product Reexports) apply to your proposed 
transaction. If you are exporting an item from the United States, you 
should skip Step 10 and Step 11. Proceed directly to Step 12 in 
paragraph (g) of this section.
    (3) License requirements not on the Country Chart. There are two 
instances where the Country Chart cannot be used to determine if a 
license is required. Items controlled for short supply reasons are not 
governed by the Country Chart. Part 754 of the EAR contains license 
requirements and License Exceptions for items subject to short supply 
controls. A limited number of ECCNs contained on the CCL do not identify 
a Country Chart column identifier. In these instances, the ECCN states 
whether a license is required and for which destinations. See Sec.
738.3(a) of the EAR for a list of the ECCNs for which you do not need to 
consult the Country Chart to determine licensing requirements.
    (4) Destinations subject to embargo and other special controls 
provisions. The Country Chart does not apply to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, 
and Syria. For those countries you should review the provisions at part 
746 of the EAR and may skip this step concerning the Country Chart. For 
Iraq and Russia, the Country Chart provides for certain license 
requirements, and part 746 of the EAR provides additional requirements.
    (5) Items subject to the EAR but not on the CCL. Items subject to 
the EAR that are not on the CCL are properly classified EAR99. For such 
items, you may skip this step and proceed directly with Step 12 in 
paragraph (g) of this section.
    (e) Step 10: Foreign-made items incorporating controlled U.S.-origin 
items and the de minimis rules--(1) De minimis rules. If your foreign-
made item abroad is a foreign-made commodity that incorporates 
controlled U.S.-origin commodities, a foreign-made commodity that is 
`bundled' with controlled U.S.-origin software, foreign-made software 
that is commingled with controlled U.S.-origin software, or foreign-made 
technology that is commingled with controlled U.S.-origin technology, 
then it is subject to the EAR if the U.S.-origin controlled content 
exceeds the de minimis levels described in Sec. 734.4 of the EAR.
    (2) Guidance for calculations. For guidance on how to calculate the 
U.S.-controlled content, refer to supplement no. 2 to part 734 of the 
EAR. Note, U.S.-origin technology controlled by ECCN 9E003.a.1 through 
a.11, and .h, and related controls, and encryption software controlled 
for ``EI'' reasons under ECCN 5D002 (not eligible for de minimis 
treatment pursuant to Sec.734.4(b) of the EAR) or encryption 
technology controlled for ``EI'' reasons under ECCN 5E002 (not eligible 
for de minimis treatment pursuant to Sec.734.4(a)(2) of the EAR) do 
not lose their U.S.-origin

[[Page 239]]

when redrawn, used, consulted, or otherwise commingled abroad in any 
respect with other software or technology of any other origin. 
Therefore, any subsequent or similar software or technology prepared or 
engineered abroad for the design, construction, operation, or 
maintenance of any plant or equipment, or part thereof, which is based 
on or uses any such U.S.-origin software or technology is subject to the 
EAR.
    (f) Step 11: Foreign-produced direct product rule--General 
Prohibition Three. Foreign-produced items located outside the U.S. that 
are the direct product of ``technology'' or ``software'' subject to the 
EAR or produced by a plant or major component of a plant located outside 
the United States that is a direct product of U.S.-origin ``technology'' 
or ``software'' subject to the EAR, whether made in the U.S. or a 
foreign country, may be subject to the EAR if they meet the conditions 
of General Prohibition Three in Sec.736.2(b)(3). Direct products that 
are subject to the EAR may require a license to be exported from abroad, 
transferred (in-country), or reexported to specified countries or end 
users. If your foreign item meets the conditions of the foreign-produced 
direct product rule (General Prohibition Three), then your export from 
abroad, transfer (in-country), or reexport is subject to the EAR. You 
should next consider the steps regarding all other general prohibitions, 
license exceptions, and other requirements. If your item does not meet 
the conditions of General Prohibition Three, then your export from 
abroad, transfer (in-country), or reexport is not subject to the EAR. 
You have completed the steps necessary to determine whether your 
transaction is subject to the EAR, and you may skip the remaining steps.
    (g) Step 12: Persons denied export privileges. (1) Determine whether 
your transferee, ultimate end-user, any intermediate consignee, or any 
other party to a transaction is a person denied export privileges (see 
part 764 of the EAR). It is a violation of the EAR to engage in any 
activity that violates the terms or conditions of a denial order. 
General Prohibition Four (Denial Orders) applies to all items subject to 
the EAR, i.e., both items on the CCL and within EAR99.
    (2) There are no License Exceptions to General Prohibition Four 
(Denial Orders). The prohibition concerning persons denied export 
privileges may be overcome only by a specific authorization from BIS, 
something that is rarely granted.
    (h) STEP 13: Prohibited end-uses and end-users. (1) Review the end-
uses and end-users prohibited under General Prohibition Five (End-Use 
and End-User) (Sec.736.2(b)(5) of the EAR) described in part 744 of 
the EAR. Part 744 of the EAR contains all the end-use and end-user 
license requirements, and those are in addition to the license 
requirements under General Prohibitions One (Exports and Reexports), Two 
(Parts and Components Reexports), and Three (Foreign-produced Direct 
Product Reexports). Unless otherwise indicated, the license requirements 
of General Prohibition Five (End-Use and End-User) described in part 744 
of the EAR apply to all items subject to the EAR, i.e. both items on the 
CCL and within EAR99. Moreover, the requirements of General Prohibition 
Five (End-Use and End-User) are in addition to various end-use and end-
user limitations placed on certain License Exceptions.
    (2) Under License Exception TSU (Sec.740.13 of the EAR), operation 
technology and software, sales technology, and software updates overcome 
General Prohibition Five (End-Use and End-User) (Sec.736.2(b)(5) of 
the EAR) if all terms and conditions of these provisions are met by the 
exporter or reexporter.
    (i) Step 14: Embargoed countries and special destinations. If your 
destination for any item is Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, or Syria, you 
must consider the requirements of parts 742 and 746 of the EAR. Unless 
otherwise indicated, General Prohibition Six (Embargo) applies to all 
items subject to the EAR, i.e. both items on the CCL and within EAR99. 
See Sec.746.1(b) for destinations subject to limited sanctions under 
United Nations Security Council arms embargoes. See Sec.746.5 for 
Russian Industry Sector Sanctions. You may not make an export or 
reexport contrary to the provisions of part 746 of the EAR without a 
license unless:

[[Page 240]]

    (1) You are exporting or reexporting only publicly available 
technology or software or other items outside the scope of the EAR, or
    (2) You qualify for a License Exception referenced in part 746 of 
the EAR concerning embargoed destinations. You may not use a License 
Exception described in part 740 of the EAR to overcome General 
Prohibition Six (Embargo) (Sec.736.2(b)(6) of the EAR) unless it is 
specifically authorized in part 746 of the EAR. Note that part 754 of 
the EAR concerning short supply controls is self-contained and is the 
only location in the EAR for both the prohibitions and exceptions 
applicable to short supply controls.
    (j) Step 15: Proliferation activity of U.S. persons unrelated to 
exports and reexports. (1) Review the scope of activity prohibited by 
General Prohibition Seven (U.S. Person Proliferation Activity) (Sec.
736.2(b)(7) of the EAR) as that activity is described in Sec.744.6 of 
the EAR. Keep in mind that such activity is not limited to exports and 
reexports and is not limited to items subject to General Prohibition One 
(Exports and Reexports), Two (Parts and Components Reexports), and Three 
(Foreign-Produced Direct Product Reexports). Moreover, such activity 
extends to services and dealing in wholly foreign-origin items in 
support of the specified proliferation activity and is not limited to 
items listed on the CCL or included in EAR99.
    (2) Review the definition of U.S. Person in part 744 of the EAR.
    (k) Step 16: In-transit. Shippers and operators of vessels or 
aircraft should review General Prohibition Eight (In-Transit) to 
determine the countries in which you may not unladen or ship certain 
items in-transit. General Prohibition Eight applies to all items subject 
to the EAR, i.e. both items on the CCL and within EAR99.
    (l) Step 17: Review orders, terms, and conditions. Review the 
orders, terms, and conditions applicable to your transaction. General 
Prohibition Nine (Orders, Terms, and Conditions) prohibits the violation 
of any orders, terms, and conditions imposed under the EAR. Terms and 
conditions are frequently contained in licenses. In addition, the ten 
general prohibitions (part 736 of the EAR) and the License Exceptions 
(part 740 of the EAR) impose terms and conditions or limitations on your 
proposed transactions and use of License Exceptions. A given license or 
License Exception may not be used unless each relevant term or condition 
is met.
    (m) Step 18: Review the ``Know Your Customer'' Guidance and General 
Prohibition Ten (Knowledge Violation to Occur). License requirements 
under the EAR are determined solely by the classification, end-use, end-
user, ultimate destination, and conduct of U.S. persons. Supplement no. 
1 to part 732 of the EAR is intended to provide helpful guidance 
regarding the process for the evaluation of information about customers, 
end-uses, and end-users. General Prohibition Ten (Knowledge Violation to 
Occur) prohibits anyone from proceeding with a transaction with 
knowledge that a violation of the EAR has occurred or is about to occur. 
It also prohibits related shipping, financing, and other services. 
General Prohibition Ten applies to all items subject to the EAR, i.e. 
both items on the CCL and within EAR99.
    (n) Step 19: Complete the review of the general prohibitions. After 
completion of Steps described in this section and review of all ten 
general prohibitions in part 736 of the EAR, including cross-referenced 
regulations in the EAR, you will know which, if any, of the ten general 
prohibitions of the EAR apply to you and your contemplated transaction 
or activity.
    (1) If none of the ten general prohibitions is applicable to your 
export from the United States, no license from BIS is required, you do 
not need to qualify for a License Exception under part 740 of the EAR. 
You should skip the Steps in Sec.732.4 of this part regarding License 
Exceptions and proceed directly to the Steps in Sec.732.5 of this part 
regarding recordkeeping, clearing the Bureau of Customs and Border 
Protection with the appropriate Shipper's Export Declaration or 
Automated Export System record, and using the required Destination 
Control Statement.
    (2) If none of the ten general prohibitions is applicable to your 
reexport or export from abroad, no license is required and you should 
skip all remaining Steps.

[[Page 241]]

    (3) If one or more of the ten general prohibitions are applicable, 
continue with the remaining steps.

Sec.732.4  Steps regarding License Exceptions.

    (a) Introduction to Steps for License Exceptions. If your export or 
reexport is subject to the EAR and is subject to General Prohibitions 
One (Exports and Reexports), Two (Parts and Components Reexports), or 
Three (Foreign-Produced Direct Product Reexports), consider the steps 
listed in paragraph (b) of this section. If your export or reexport is 
subject to General Prohibitions Four (Denial Orders), Seven (U.S. Person 
Proliferation Activity), Eight (In-Transit), Nine (Orders, Terms, and 
Conditions), or Ten (Knowledge Violation to Occur), there are no License 
Exceptions available for your export or reexport. If your export is 
subject to General Prohibition Five (End-Use End-User), consult part 744 
of the EAR. If your export or reexport is subject to General Prohibition 
Six (Embargo), consult part 746 of the EAR for applicable License 
Exceptions.
    (b) Steps for License Exceptions--(1) Step 20: Applicability of 
General Prohibitions. Determine whether any one or more of the general 
prohibitions described in Sec.736.2(b) of the EAR apply to your export 
or reexport. If no general prohibition applies to your export or 
reexport, then you may proceed with your export or reexport and need not 
review part 740 of the EAR regarding License Exceptions. You are 
reminded of your recordkeeping obligations related to the clearance of 
the U.S. Customs Service provided in parts 762 and 758 of the EAR.
    (2) Step 21: Applicability of restrictions on all License 
Exceptions. Determine whether any one or more of the restrictions in 
Sec.740.2 of the EAR applies to your export or reexport. If any one or 
more of these restrictions apply, there are no License Exceptions 
available to you, and you must either obtain a license or refrain from 
the export or reexport.
    (3) Step 22: Terms and conditions of the License Exceptions. (i) If 
none of the restrictions in Sec.740.2 of the EAR applies, then review 
each of the License Exceptions to determine whether any one of them 
authorizes your export or reexport. Eligibility for License Exceptions 
is based on the item, the country of ultimate destination, the end-use, 
and the end-user, along with any special conditions imposed within a 
specific License Exception.
    (ii) You may meet the conditions for more than one License 
Exception. Moreover, although you may not qualify for some License 
Exceptions you may qualify for others. Review the broadest License 
Exceptions first, and use any License Exception available to you. You 
are not required to use the most restrictive applicable License 
Exception. If you fail to qualify for the License Exception that you 
first consider, you may consider any other License Exception until you 
have determined that no License Exception is available.
    (iii) License Exceptions TMP, RPL, BAG, AVS, GOV, and TSU authorize 
exports notwithstanding the provisions of the CCL. List-based License 
Exceptions (LVS, GBS, CIV, TSR, and APP) are available only to the 
extent specified on the CCL. Part 740 of the EAR provides authorization 
for reexports only to the extent each License Exception expressly 
authorizes reexports. Some ECCNs contain License Exception STA exclusion 
paragraphs. Those paragraphs delineate items excluded from the License 
Exception STA provisions in Sec.740.20(c)(2) of the EAR. License 
Exception APR authorizes reexports only.
    (iv) If you are exporting under License Exceptions GBS, CIV, LVS, 
STA, APP, TSR or GOV, you should review Sec.743.1 of the EAR to 
determine the applicability of certain reporting requirements. If you 
are exporting under License Exceptions LVS, TMP, RPL, STA, or GOV and 
your item is classified in the ``600 series,'' you should review Sec.
743.4 of the EAR to determine the applicability of certain reporting 
requirements for conventional arms exports.

[[Page 242]]

    (4) Step 23: Scope of License Exceptions. Some License Exceptions 
are limited by country or by type of item.
    (i) Countries are arranged in country groups for ease of reference. 
For a listing of country groups, please refer to supplement no. 1 to 
part 740 of the EAR. Unless otherwise indicated in a License Exception, 
License Exceptions do not apply to any exports or reexports to embargoed 
destinations. If your export or reexport is subject to General 
Prohibition Six (Embargo) for embargoed destinations, License Exceptions 
are only available to the extent specifically provided in part 746 of 
the EAR concerning embargoed destinations.
    (ii) Special commodity controls apply to short supply items. No 
License Exceptions described in part 740 of the EAR may be used for 
items listed on the CCL as controlled for Short Supply reasons. License 
Exceptions for short supply items are found in part 754 of the EAR.
    (5) Step 24: Compliance with all terms and conditions. If a License 
Exception is available, you may proceed with your export or reexport. 
However, you must meet all the terms and conditions required by the 
License Exception that you determined authorized your export or 
reexport. You must also consult part 758 and 762 of the EAR to determine 
your recordkeeping and documentation requirements.
    (6) Step 25: License requirements. If no License Exception is 
available, then you must either obtain a license before proceeding with 
your export or reexport or you must refrain from the proposed export or 
reexport.
    (7) Step 26: License applications. (i) If you are going to file a 
license application with BIS, you should first review the requirements 
in part 748 of the EAR. Exporters, reexporters, and transferors should 
review the instructions concerning applications and required support 
documents prior to submitting an application for a license.
    (ii) If you are going to file a license application with BIS for the 
export, reexport, or in-country transfer for aircraft or military 
vessels controlled under ECCNs 0A606.a, 8A609.a, 8A620.a, 8A620.b, 
certain ``spacecraft'' controlled under ECCN subparagraphs 9A515.a.1, 
a.2, a.3, a.4 or 9A515.g, ECCN 9A610.a, or technology under ECCNs 
9E515.b, .d, .e, or .f, Sec.740.20(g) permits you to request in the 
application that subsequent exports of the type of aircraft, spacecraft, 
military vessels, or technology at issue be eligible for export under 
License Exception STA. The types of ``items'' controlled under ECCNs 
0A606.a, 8A609.a, 8A620.a, 8A620.b, certain spacecraft controlled under 
ECCN subparagraphs 9A515.a.1, a.2, a.3, a.4 or 9A515.g, ECCN 9A610.a, 
and technology ECCNs 9E515.b, .d, .e, or .f, that have been determined 
to be eligible for License Exception STA pursuant to Sec.740.20(g) are 
identified in the License Exceptions paragraphs of ECCNs 0A606, 8A609, 
8A620, 9A610, 9A515, and 9E515. Supplement No. 2 to part 748, paragraph 
(w) (License Exception STA eligibility requests), contains the 
instructions for such applications.

    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(7)(ii): If you intend to use License 
Exception STA, return to paragraphs (a) and then (b) of this section to 
review the Steps regarding the use of license exceptions.

Sec.732.5  Steps regarding Electronic Export Information (EEI) 
requirements, Destination Control Statements, and recordkeeping.

    (a) Step 27: Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing 
requirements. Exporters or agents authorized to file EEI to the 
Automated Export System (AES), should review Sec.758.1 of the EAR to 
determine when the EAR requires EEI to be filed and what EEI data 
elements the EAR requires to be included. More detailed information 
about EEI filing procedures and requirements may be found in the Bureau 
of Census Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) at 15 CFR Part 30. Reexporters 
and firms exporting from abroad may skip Steps 27 through 29 and proceed 
directly to Sec.732.6 of the EAR.
    (1) License code/license exception code (license code). You must 
report the correct license code that corresponds with your license 
authority (license or license exception) or designation (No License 
Required (NLR)) for your export

[[Page 243]]

on the EEI filing, as appropriate. See Sec.758.1(g) of the EAR and 15 
CFR 30.6(a)(23) and Part III of Appendix B to 15 CFR Part 30 of the FTR. 
Generally, conflicts of data elements with license exception criteria, 
e.g., ECCN or destination, will result in a fatal error in the AES 
system. By reporting a license code for a license exception on an EEI 
filing you are certifying that your transaction meets the criteria of 
that license exception. By reporting a license code of NLR you are 
certifying that no license is required for your export.
    (2) License number. If you are exporting under the authority of a 
license, you must report the license number on the EEI filing. See 15 
CFR 30.6(b)(5) of the FTR.
    (3) Item description. You must report an item description identical 
to the item description on the license when a license is required, or 
report an item description sufficient in detail to permit review by the 
U.S. Government and verification of the Schedule B Number or the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) for license 
exception exports or exports for which No License is Required (NLR). See 
Sec.758.1(g) of the EAR; and 15 CFR 30.6(a)(13) of the FTR.
    (4) Entering the ECCN. You must report the correct Export Control 
Classification Number (ECCN) or ``EAR99'' for items that are not 
classified under an ECCN on the EEI filing for all licensed and license 
exception exports, and ``No License Required'' (NLR) exports of items 
having a reason for control other than or in addition to anti-terrorism 
(AT). The only exception to this requirement would be the return of 
unwanted foreign origin items, meeting the provisions of License 
Exception TMP, under Sec.740.9(b)(3) of the EAR. See Sec.758.1(g) of 
the EAR and 15 CFR 30.6(b)(6) of the FTR.
    (b) Step 28: Destination Control Statement. The Destination Control 
Statement (DCS) must be entered on the invoice and on the bill of 
lading, air waybill, or other export control document that accompanies 
the shipment from its point of origin in the United States to the 
ultimate consignee or end-user abroad. The person responsible for 
preparation of those documents is responsible for entry of the DCS. The 
DCS is required for all exports from the United States of items on the 
Commerce Control List and is not required for items classified as EAR99, 
unless the export may be made under License Exception BAG or GFT (see 
part 740 of the EAR). DCS requirements do not apply to reexports. See 
Sec.758.6 of the EAR.
    (c) Step 29: Recordkeeping. Records of transactions subject to the 
EAR must be maintained for five years in accordance with the 
recordkeeping provisions of part 762 of the EAR.

Sec. Supplement No. 3 to Part 732--BIS's ``Know Your Customer'' Guidance 
                              and Red Flags

                     ``Know Your Customer'' Guidance

    Various requirements of the EAR are dependent upon a person's 
knowledge of the end-use, end-user, ultimate destination, or other facts 
relating to a transaction or activity. These provisions include the 
nonproliferation-related ``catch-all'' sections and the prohibition 
against proceeding with a transaction with knowledge that a violation of 
the EAR has occurred or is about to occur.
    (a) BIS provides the following guidance on how individuals and firms 
should act under this knowledge standard. This guidance does not change 
or interpret the EAR.
    (1) Decide whether there are ``red flags''. Take into account any 
abnormal circumstances in a transaction that indicate that the export 
may be destined for an inappropriate end-use, end-user, or destination. 
Such circumstances are referred to as ``red flags''. Included among 
examples of red flags are orders for items that are inconsistent with 
the needs of the purchaser, a customer declining installation and 
testing when included in the sales price or when normally requested, or 
requests for equipment configurations that are incompatible with the 
stated destination (e.g., 120 volts in a country with 220 volts). 
Commerce has developed lists of such red flags that are not all-
inclusive but are intended to illustrate the types of circumstances that 
should cause reasonable suspicion that a transaction will violate the 
EAR.
    (2) If there are ``red flags'', inquire. If there are no ``red 
flags'' in the information that comes to your firm, you should be able 
to proceed with a transaction in reliance on information you have 
received. That is, absent ``red flags'' (or an express requirement in 
the EAR), there is no affirmative duty upon exporters to inquire, 
verify, or otherwise ``go behind'' the customer's representations. 
However, when ``red flags'' are raised in information that comes to your 
firm, you have a duty to check out the suspicious circumstances and 
inquire about the end-use, end-user, or ultimate country of destination. 
The duty to check out ``red flags'' is not confined to the use of 
License Exceptions affected by the ``know'' or ``reason to know'' 
language in the EAR. Applicants for licenses are required by part 748 of 
the EAR to obtain documentary evidence concerning the transaction, and 
misrepresentation or concealment of material facts is prohibited, both 
in the licensing process and in all export control documents. You can 
rely upon representations from your customer and repeat them in the 
documents you file unless red flags oblige you to take verification 
steps.
    (3) Do not self-blind. Do not cut off the flow of information that 
comes to your firm in the normal course of business. For example, do not 
instruct the sales force to tell potential customers to refrain from 
discussing the actual end-use, end-user, and ultimate country of 
destination for the product your firm is seeking to sell. Do not put on 
blinders that prevent the learning of relevant information. An 
affirmative policy of steps to avoid ``bad'' information would not 
insulate a company from liability, and it would usually be considered an 
aggravating factor in an enforcement proceeding.
    (4) Employees need to know how to handle ``red flags''. Knowledge 
possessed by an employee of a company can be imputed to a firm so as to 
make it liable for a violation. This makes it important for firms to 
establish clear policies and effective compliance procedures to ensure 
that such knowledge about transactions can be evaluated by responsible 
senior officials. Failure to do so could be regarded as a form of self-
blinding.
    (5) Reevaluate all the information after the inquiry. The purpose of 
this inquiry and reevaluation is to determine whether the ``red flags'' 
can be explained or justified. If they can, you may proceed with the 
transaction. If the ``red flags'' cannot be explained or justified and 
you proceed, you run the risk of having had ``knowledge'' that would 
make your action a violation of the EAR.
    (6) Refrain from the transaction or advise BIS and wait. If you 
continue to have reasons for concern after your inquiry, then you should 
either refrain from the transaction or submit all the relevant 
information to BIS in the form of an application for a license or in 
such other form as BIS may specify.
    (b) Industry has an important role to play in preventing exports and 
reexports contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests 
of the United States. BIS will continue to work in partnership with 
industry to make this front line of defense effective, while minimizing 
the regulatory burden on exporters. If you have any question about 
whether you have encountered a ``red flag'', you may contact the Office 
of Export Enforcement at 1-800-424-2980 or the Office of Exporter 
Services at (202) 482-4532.

                                Red Flags

    Possible indicators that an unlawful diversion might be planned by 
your customer include the following:
    1. The customer or purchasing agent is reluctant to offer 
information about the end-use of a product.
    2. The product's capabilities do not fit the buyer's line of 
business; for example, a small bakery places an order for several 
sophisticated lasers.
    3. The product ordered is incompatible with the technical level of 
the country to

[[Page 247]]

which the product is being shipped. For example, semiconductor 
manufacturing equipment would be of little use in a country without an 
electronics industry.
    4. The customer has little or no business background.
    5. The customer is willing to pay cash for a very expensive item 
when the terms of the sale call for financing.
    6. The customer is unfamiliar with the product's performance 
characteristics but still wants the product.
    7. Routine installation, training or maintenance services are 
declined by the customer.
    8. Delivery dates are vague, or deliveries are planned for out-of-
the-way destinations.
    9. A freight forwarding firm is listed as the product's final 
destination.
    10. The shipping route is abnormal for the product and destination.
    11. Packaging is inconsistent with the stated method of shipment or 
destination.
    12. When questioned, the buyer is evasive or unclear about whether 
the purchased product is for domestic use, export or reexport.
    13. You receive an order for ``parts'' or ``components'' for an end 
item in 9x515 or the ``600 series.'' The requested ``parts'' or 
``components'' may be eligible for License Exception STA, another 
authorization, or may not require a destination-based license 
requirement for the country in question. However, the requested 
``parts'' or ``components'' would be sufficient to service one hundred 
of the 9x515 or ``600 series'' end items, but you ``know'' the country 
does not have those types of end items or only has two of those end 
items.
    14. The customer indicates or the facts pertaining to the proposed 
export suggest that a 9x515 or ``600 series'' item may be reexported to 
a destination listed in Country Group D:5 (see supplement no. 1 to part 
740 of the EAR).

Sec.734.1  Introduction.

    (a) In this part, references to the Export Administration 
Regulations (EAR) are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. 
This part describes the scope of the Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR) and explains certain key terms and principles used in the EAR. 
This part provides the rules you need to use to determine whether items 
and activities are subject to the EAR. This part is the first step in 
determining your obligations under the EAR. If neither your item nor 
your activity is subject to the EAR, then you do not have any 
obligations under the EAR and you do not need to review other parts of 
the EAR. If you already know that your item or activity is subject to 
the EAR, you do not need to review this part and you can go on to review 
other parts of the EAR to determine your obligations. This part also 
describes certain key terms and principles used in the EAR. 
Specifically, it includes the following terms: ``subject to the EAR,'' 
``items subject to the EAR,'' ``export,'' and ``reexport.'' These and 
other terms are also included in part 772 of the EAR, Definitions of

[[Page 248]]

Terms, and you should consult part 772 of the EAR for the meaning of 
terms used in the EAR. Finally, this part makes clear that compliance 
with the EAR does not relieve any obligations imposed under foreign 
laws.
    (b) This part does not address any of the provisions set forth in 
part 760 of the EAR, Restrictive Trade Practices or Boycotts.
    (c) This part does not define the scope of legal authority to 
regulate exports, including reexports, or activities found in the Export 
Administration Act and other statutes. What this part does do is set 
forth the extent to which such legal authority has been exercised 
through the EAR.

[61 FR 12746, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 69 FR 5690, Feb. 6, 2004]



Sec.734.2  Subject to the EAR.

    (a) Subject to the EAR--Definition. (1) ``Subject to the EAR'' is a 
term used in the EAR to describe those items and activities over which 
BIS exercises regulatory jurisdiction under the EAR. Conversely, items 
and activities that are not subject to the EAR are outside the 
regulatory jurisdiction of the EAR and are not affected by these 
regulations. The items and activities subject to the EAR are described 
in Sec. Sec.734.2 through 734.5 of this part. You should review the 
Commerce Control List (CCL) and any applicable parts of the EAR to 
determine whether an item or activity is subject to the EAR. However, if 
you need help in determining whether an item or activity is subject to 
the EAR, see Sec.734.6 of this part. Publicly available technology and 
software not subject to the EAR are described in Sec. Sec.734.7 
through 734.11 and supplement no. 1 to this part.
    (2) Items and activities subject to the EAR may also be controlled 
under export-related programs administered by other agencies. Items and 
activities subject to the EAR are not necessarily exempted from the 
control programs of other agencies. Although BIS and other agencies that 
maintain controls for national security and foreign policy reasons try 
to minimize overlapping jurisdiction, you should be aware that in some 
instances you may have to comply with more than one regulatory program.
    (3) The term ``subject to the EAR'' should not be confused with 
licensing or other requirements imposed in other parts of the EAR. Just 
because an item or activity is subject to the EAR does not mean that a 
license or other requirement automatically applies. A license or other 
requirement applies only in those cases where other parts of the EAR 
impose a licensing or other requirement on such items or activities.
    (b) [Reserved]

Sec.734.3  Items subject to the EAR.

    (a) Except for items excluded in paragraph (b) of this section, the 
following items are subject to the EAR:
    (1) All items in the United States, including in a U.S. Foreign 
Trade Zone or moving intransit through the United States from one 
foreign country to another;
    (2) All U.S. origin items wherever located;
    (3) Foreign-made commodities that incorporate controlled U.S.-origin 
commodities, foreign-made commodities that are `bundled' with controlled 
U.S.-origin software, foreign-made software that is commingled with 
controlled U.S.-origin software, and foreign-made technology that is 
commingled with controlled U.S.-origin technology:
    (i) In any quantity, as described in Sec.734.4(a) of this part; or
    (ii) In quantities exceeding the de minimis levels, as described in 
Sec.734.4(c) or Sec.734.4(d) of this part;
    (4) Certain foreign-made direct products of U.S. origin technology 
or software, as described in Sec.736.2(b)(3) of the EAR. The term 
``direct product'' means the immediate product (including processes and 
services) produced directly by the use of technology or software; and

    Note to paragraph (a)(4): Certain foreign-manufactured items 
developed or produced from U.S.-origin encryption items exported 
pursuant to License Exception ENC are subject to the EAR. See Sec.
740.17(a) of the EAR.

    (5) Certain commodities produced by any plant or major component of 
a

[[Page 249]]

plant located outside the United States that is a direct product of 
U.S.-origin technology or software, as described in Sec.736.2(b)(3) of 
the EAR.
    (b) The following are not subject to the EAR:
    (1) Items that are exclusively controlled for export or reexport by 
the following departments and agencies of the U.S. Government which 
regulate exports or reexports for national security or foreign policy 
purposes:
    (i) Department of State. The International Traffic in Arms 
Regulations (22 CFR parts 120-130) administered by the Directorate of 
Defense Trade Controls relate to defense articles and defense services 
on the U.S. Munitions List (22 CFR part 121). Section 38 of the Arms 
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778). (Also see paragraph (b)(1)(vi) of 
this section).

    Note to paragraph (b)(1)(i): If a defense article or service is 
controlled by the U.S. Munitions List set forth in the International 
Traffic in Arms Regulations, its export and temporary import is 
regulated by the Department of State. The President has delegated the 
authority to control defense articles and services for purposes of 
permanent import to the Attorney General. The defense articles and 
services controlled by the Secretary of State and the Attorney General 
collectively comprise the U.S. Munitions List under the Arms Export 
Control Act (AECA). As the Attorney General exercises independent 
delegated authority to designate defense articles and services for 
purposes of permanent import controls, the permanent import control list 
administered by the Department of Justice has been separately labeled 
the U.S. Munitions Import List (27 CFR Part 447) to distinguish it from 
the list set out in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. In 
carrying out the functions delegated to the Attorney General pursuant to 
the AECA, the Attorney General shall be guided by the views of the 
Secretary of State on matters affecting world peace, and the external 
security and foreign policy of the United States.
    (ii) Treasury Department, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). 
Regulations administered by OFAC implement broad controls and embargo 
transactions with certain foreign countries. These regulations include 
controls on exports and reexports to certain countries (31 CFR chapter 
V). Trading with the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. app. section 1 et seq.), and 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.)
    (iii) U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Regulations 
administered by NRC control the export and reexport of commodities 
related to nuclear reactor vessels (10 CFR part 110). Atomic Energy Act 
of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. part 2011 et seq.).
    (iv) Department of Energy (DOE). Regulations administered by DOE 
control the export and reexport of technology related to the production 
of special nuclear materials (10 CFR part 810). Atomic Energy Act of 
1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. section 2011 et seq.).
    (v) Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). Regulations administered by 
PTO provide for the export to a foreign country of unclassified 
technology in the form of a patent application or an amendment, 
modification, or supplement thereto or division thereof (37 CFR part 5). 
BIS has delegated authority under the Export Administration Act to the 
PTO to approve exports and reexports of such technology which is subject 
to the EAR. Exports and reexports of such technology not approved under 
PTO regulations must comply with the EAR.
    (vi) Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of State Foreign 
Military Sales (FMS) Program. Items that are subject to the EAR that are 
sold, leased or loaned by the Department of Defense to a foreign country 
or international organization under the FMS Program of the Arms Export 
Control Act pursuant to a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) 
authorizing such transfers are not ``subject to the EAR,'' but rather, 
are subject to the authority of the Arms Export Control Act.
    (2) Prerecorded phonograph records reproducing in whole or in part, 
the content of printed books, pamphlets, and miscellaneous publications, 
including newspapers and periodicals; printed books, pamphlets, and 
miscellaneous publications including bound newspapers and periodicals; 
children's picture and painting books; newspaper and periodicals, 
unbound, excluding waste; music books; sheet music; calendars and 
calendar blocks, paper; maps, hydrographical charts, atlases, 
gazetteers, globe covers, and globes (terrestrial and celestial); 
exposed and

[[Page 250]]

developed microfilm reproducing, in whole or in part, the content of any 
of the above; exposed and developed motion picture film and soundtrack; 
and advertising printed matter exclusively related thereto.
    (3) Information and ``software'' that:
    (i) Are published, as described in Sec.734.7;
    (ii) Arise during, or result from, fundamental research, as 
described in Sec.734.8;
    (iii) Are released by instruction in a catalog course or associated 
teaching laboratory of an academic institution;
    (iv) Appear in patents or open (published) patent applications 
available from or at any patent office, unless covered by an invention 
secrecy order, or are otherwise patent information as described in Sec.
734.10;
    (v) Are non-proprietary system descriptions; or
    (vi) Are telemetry data as defined in Note 2 to Category 9, Product 
Group E (see supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR).

    Note to paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3): A printed book or other 
printed material setting forth encryption source code is not itself 
subject to the EAR (see Sec.734.3(b)(2)). However, notwithstanding 
Sec.734.3(b)(2), encryption source code in electronic form or media 
(e.g., computer diskette or CD ROM) remains subject to the EAR (see 
Sec.734.17)). Publicly available encryption object code ``software'' 
classified under ECCN 5D002 is not subject to the EAR when the 
corresponding source code meets the criteria specified in Sec.
742.15(b) of the EAR.
    Note to paragraph (b)(3): Except as set forth in part 760 of this 
title, information that is not within the scope of the definition of 
``technology'' (see Sec.772.1 of the EAR) is not subject to the EAR.

    (c) ``Items subject to the EAR'' consist of the items listed on the 
Commerce Control List (CCL) in part 774 of the EAR and all other items 
which meet the definition of that term. For ease of reference and 
classification purposes, items subject to the EAR which are not listed 
on the CCL are designated as ``EAR99.'' Items subject to temporary CCL 
controls are classified under the ECCN 0Y521 series (i.e., 0A521, 0B521, 
0C521, 0D521, and 0E521) pursuant to Sec.742.6(a)(8) of the EAR, while 
a determination is made as to whether classification under a revised or 
new ECCN, or an EAR99 designation, is appropriate.
    (d) Commodity classification determinations and advisory opinions 
issued by BIS are not, and may not be relied upon as, determinations 
that the items in question are ``subject to the EAR,'' as described in 
Sec.748.3 of the EAR.
    (e) Items subject to the EAR may be exported, reexported, or 
transferred in country under licenses, agreements, or other approvals 
from the Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls 
pursuant to Sec. Sec.120.5(b) and 126.6(c) of the International 
Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR 120.5(b) and 126.6(c)). 
Exports, reexports, or in-country transfers not in accordance with the 
terms and conditions of a license, agreement, or other approval under 
Sec.120.5(b) of the ITAR requires separate authorization from BIS. 
Exports, reexports, or in-country transfers of items subject to the EAR 
under a Foreign Military Sales case that exceed the scope of Sec.
126.6(c) of the ITAR or the scope of actions made by the Department of 
State's Office of Regional Security and Arms Transfers require separate 
authorization from BIS.

Sec.734.4  De minimis U.S. content.

    (a) Items for which there is no de minimis level. (1) There is no de 
minimis level for the export from a foreign country of a foreign-made 
computer with an Adjusted Peak Performance (APP) exceeding that listed 
in ECCN 4A003.b and containing U.S.-origin controlled semiconductors 
(other than memory circuits) classified under ECCN 3A001 to Computer 
Tier 3 destinations; or exceeding an APP listed in ECCN 4A994.b and 
containing U.S.-origin controlled semiconductors (other than memory 
circuits) classified under ECCN 3A001 or high speed interconnect devices 
(ECCN 4A994.j) to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.
    (2) Foreign produced encryption technology that incorporates U.S. 
origin encryption technology controlled by

[[Page 251]]

ECCN 5E002 is subject to the EAR regardless of the amount of U.S. origin 
content.
    (3) [Reserved]
    (4) There is no de minimis level for U.S.-origin technology 
controlled by ECCN 9E003.a.1 through a.8,.h, .i., and .j., when redrawn, 
used, consulted, or otherwise commingled abroad.
    (5) There is no de minimis level for foreign-made ``military 
commodities'' incorporating one or more of the commodities described in 
ECCN 0A919.a.1 when destined for a country listed in Country Group D:5 
of supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR.
    (6) 9x515 and ``600 series.''
    (i) There is no de minimis level for foreign-made items that 
incorporate U.S.-origin 9x515 or ``600 series'' items enumerated or 
otherwise described in paragraphs .a through .x of a 9x515 or ``600 
series'' ECCN when destined for a country listed in Country Group D:5 of 
supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR.
    (ii) There is no de minimis level for foreign-made items that 
incorporate U.S.-origin 9x515 or ``600 series'' .y items when destined 
for a country listed in Country Group E:1 or E:2 of supplement no. 1 to 
part 740 of the EAR or for the People's Republic of China (PRC).
    (7) Under certain rules issued by the Office of Foreign Assets 
Control, certain exports from abroad by U.S.-owned or controlled 
entities may be prohibited notwithstanding the de minimis provisions of 
the EAR. In addition, the de minimis rules do not relieve U.S. persons 
of the obligation to refrain from supporting the proliferation of 
weapons of mass-destruction and missiles as provided in Sec.744.6 of 
the EAR.
    (b) Special requirements for certain encryption items. Non-U.S.-made 
items that incorporate U.S.-origin items that are listed in this 
paragraph are subject to the EAR unless they meet the de minimis level 
and destination requirements of paragraph (c) or (d) of this section and 
the requirements of this paragraph.
    (1) The U.S.-origin commodities or software, if controlled under 
ECCN 5A002, ECCN 5B002, equivalent or related software therefor 
classified under ECCN 5D002, and ``cryptanalytic items'' classified 
under ECCN 5A004 or 5D002, must have been:
    (i) Publicly available encryption source code classified under ECCN 
5D002 that has met the notification requirement of Sec.742.15(b), see 
Sec.734.3(b)(3) of the EAR. Such source code does not have to be 
counted as controlled U.S.-origin content in a de minimis calculation;
    (ii) Authorized for License Exception ENC by BIS after 
classification pursuant to Sec.740.17(b)(3) of the EAR;
    (iii) Authorized for License Exception ENC by BIS after 
classification pursuant to Sec.740.17(b)(2) of the EAR, and the non-
U.S.-made product will not be sent to any destination in Country Groups 
E:1 and E:2 in Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR; or
    (iv) Authorized for License Exception ENC pursuant to Sec.
740.17(b)(1) of the EAR.
    (2) U.S.-origin encryption items classified under ECCNs 5A992.c, 
5D992.c, or 5E992.b.

    Note to paragraph (b): See Supplement No. 2 to this part for de 
minimis calculation procedures and reporting requirements.

    (c) 10% De Minimis Rule. Except as provided in paragraphs (a) and 
(b)(1)(iii) of this section and subject to the provisions of paragraphs 
(b)(1)(i), (b)(1)(ii) and (b)(2) of this section, the following 
reexports are not subject to the EAR when made to any country in the 
world. See supplement no. 2 of this part for guidance on calculating 
values.
    (1) Reexports of a foreign-made commodity incorporating controlled 
U.S.-origin commodities or ``bundled'' with U.S.-origin software valued 
at 10% or less of the total value of the foreign-made commodity;

    Notes to paragraph (c)(1): (1) U.S.-origin software is not eligible 
for the de minimis exclusion and is subject to the EAR when exported or 
reexported separately from (i.e., not bundled or incorporated with) the 
foreign-made item.
    (2) For the purposes of this section, `bundled' means software that 
is reexported together with the item and is configured for the item, but 
is not necessarily physically integrated into the item.
    (3) The de minimis exclusion under paragraph (c)(1) only applies to 
software that is listed on the Commerce Control List (CCL)

[[Page 252]]

and has a reason for control of anti-terrorism (AT) only or software 
that is designated as EAR99 (subject to the EAR, but not listed on the 
CCL). For all other software, an independent assessment of whether the 
software by itself is subject to the EAR must be performed.

    (2) Reexports of foreign-made software incorporating controlled 
U.S.-origin software valued at 10% or less of the total value of the 
foreign-made software; or
    (3) Reexports of foreign technology commingled with or drawn from 
controlled U.S.-origin technology valued at 10% or less of the total 
value of the foreign technology. Before you may rely upon the de minimis 
exclusion for foreign-made technology commingled with controlled U.S.-
origin technology, you must file a one-time report. See supplement no. 2 
to part 734 for submission requirements.
    (d) 25% De Minimis Rule. Except as provided in paragraph (a) of this 
section and subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this section, 
the following reexports are not subject to the EAR when made to 
countries other than those listed in Country Group E:1 or E:2 of 
supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR. See supplement no. 2 to this 
part for guidance on calculating values.
    (1) Reexports of a foreign-made commodity incorporating controlled 
U.S.-origin commodities or ``bundled'' with U.S.-origin software valued 
at 25% or less of the total value of the foreign-made commodity;

    Notes to paragraph (d)(1): (1) U.S.-origin software is not eligible 
for the de minimis exclusion and is subject to the EAR when exported or 
reexported separately from (i.e., not bundled or incorporated with) the 
foreign-made item.
    (2) For the purposes of this section, ``bundled'' means software 
that is reexported together with the item and is configured for the 
item, but is not necessarily physically integrated into the item.
    (3) The de minimis exclusion under paragraph (d)(1) only applies to 
software that is listed on the Commerce Control List (CCL) and has a 
reason for control of anti-terrorism (AT) only or software that is 
classified as EAR99 (subject to the EAR, but not listed on the CCL). For 
all other software, an independent assessment of whether the software by 
itself is subject to the EAR must be performed.

    (2) Reexports of foreign-made software incorporating controlled 
U.S.-origin software valued at 25% or less of the total value of the 
foreign-made software; or
    (3) Reexports of foreign technology commingled with or drawn from 
controlled U.S.-origin technology valued at 25% or less of the total 
value of the foreign technology. Before you may rely upon the de minimis 
exclusion for foreign-made technology commingled with controlled U.S.-
origin technology, you must file a one-time report. See supplement no. 2 
to part 734 for submission requirements.
    (e) You are responsible for making the necessary calculations to 
determine whether the de minimis provisions apply to your situation. See 
supplement no. 2 to part 734 for guidance regarding calculation of U.S. 
controlled content.
    (f) See Sec.770.3 of the EAR for principles that apply to 
commingled U.S.-origin technology and software.
    (g) Recordkeeping requirement. The method by which you determined 
the percentage of U.S. content in foreign software or technology must be 
documented and retained in your records in accordance with the 
recordkeeping requirements in part 762 of the EAR. Your records should 
indicate whether the values you used in your calculations are actual 
arms-length market prices or prices derived from comparable transactions 
or costs of production, overhead, and profit.

Sec.734.6  Assistance available from BIS for determining licensing
and other requirements.

    (a) If you are not sure whether a commodity, software, technology, 
or activity ``subject to the EAR'' is subject to licensing or other 
requirements under the EAR, you may ask BIS for an advisory opinion or a 
commodity classification determination. In order to determine whether an 
item is ``subject to the ITAR,'' you should review the ITAR's United 
States Munitions List (see 22 CFR 120.3, 120.6 and 121.1). You may also 
submit a request to the Department of State, Directorate of Defense 
Trade Controls, for a formal jurisdictional determination regarding the 
commodity, software, technology, or activity at issue; or in ITAR terms, 
the defense article, technical data or defense service at issue (see 22 
CFR 120.4).
    (b) As the agency responsible for administering the EAR, BIS is the 
only agency that has the responsibility for determining whether an item 
or activity is subject to the EAR and, if so, what licensing or other 
requirements apply under the EAR. Such a determination only affects EAR 
requirements, and does not affect the applicability of any other 
regulatory programs.
    (c) If you need help in determining BIS licensing or other 
requirements you may ask BIS for help by following the procedures 
described in Sec.748.3 of the EAR.

Sec.734.7  Published.

    (a) Except as set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, 
unclassified ``technology'' or ``software'' is ``published,'' and is 
thus not ``technology'' or ``software'' subject to the EAR, when it has 
been made available to the public without restrictions upon its further 
dissemination such as through any of the following:
    (1) Subscriptions available without restriction to any individual 
who desires to obtain or purchase the published information;
    (2) Libraries or other public collections that are open and 
available to the public, and from which the public can obtain tangible 
or intangible documents;
    (3) Unlimited distribution at a conference, meeting, seminar, trade 
show, or exhibition, generally accessible to the interested public;
    (4) Public dissemination (i.e., unlimited distribution) in any form 
(e.g., not necessarily in published form), including posting on the 
Internet on sites available to the public; or
    (5) Submission of a written composition, manuscript, presentation, 
computer-readable dataset, formula, imagery, algorithms, or some other 
representation of knowledge with the intention that such information 
will be made publicly available if accepted for publication or 
presentation:
    (i) To domestic or foreign co-authors, editors, or reviewers of 
journals, magazines, newspapers or trade publications;
    (ii) To researchers conducting fundamental research; or
    (iii) To organizers of open conferences or other open gatherings.
    (b) Published encryption software classified under ECCN 5D002 
remains subject to the EAR unless it is publicly available encryption 
object code software classified under ECCN 5D002 and the corresponding 
source code meets the criteria specified in Sec.742.15(b) of the EAR.
    (c) The following remains subject to the EAR: ``software'' or 
``technology'' for the production of a firearm, or firearm frame or 
receiver, controlled under ECCN 0A501, that is made available by posting 
on the internet in an electronic format, such as AMF or G-code, and is 
ready for insertion into a computer numerically controlled machine tool, 
additive manufacturing equipment, or any other equipment that makes use 
of the ``software'' or

[[Page 254]]

``technology'' to produce the firearm frame or receiver or complete 
firearm.

Sec.734.8  ``Technology'' or ``software'' that arises during, 
or results from, fundamental research.

    (a) Fundamental research. ``Technology'' or ``software'' that arises 
during, or results from, fundamental research and is intended to be 
published is not subject to the EAR.

    Note 1 to paragraph (a): This paragraph does not apply to 
``technology'' or ``software'' subject to the EAR that is released to 
conduct fundamental research. (See Sec.734.7(a)(5)(ii) for information 
released to researchers that is ``published.'')
    Note 2 to paragraph (a): There are instances in the conduct of 
research where a researcher, institution or company may decide to 
restrict or protect the release or publication of ``technology'' or 
``software'' contained in research results. Once a decision is made to 
maintain such ``technology'' or ``software'' as restricted or 
proprietary, the ``technology'' or ``software,'' if within the scope of 
Sec.734.3(a), becomes subject to the EAR.

    (b) Prepublication review. ``Technology'' or ``software'' that 
arises during, or results, from fundamental research is intended to be 
published to the extent that the researchers are free to publish the 
``technology'' or ``software'' contained in the research without 
restriction. ``Technology'' or ``software'' that arises during or 
results from fundamental research subject to prepublication review is 
still intended to be published when:
    (1) Prepublication review is conducted solely to ensure that 
publication would not compromise patent rights, so long as the review 
causes no more than a temporary delay in publication of the research 
results;
    (2) Prepublication review is conducted by a sponsor of research 
solely to insure that the publication would not inadvertently divulge 
proprietary information that the sponsor has furnished to the 
researchers; or
    (3) With respect to research conducted by scientists or engineers 
working for a Federal agency or a Federally Funded Research and 
Development Center (FFRDC), the review is conducted within any 
appropriate system devised by the agency or the FFRDC to control the 
release of information by such scientists and engineers.

    Note 1 to paragraph (b): Although ``technology'' or ``software'' 
arising during or resulting from fundamental research is not considered 
intended to be published if researchers accept restrictions on its 
publication, such ``technology'' or ``software'' will nonetheless 
qualify as ``technology'' or ``software'' arising during or resulting 
from fundamental research once all such restrictions have expired or 
have been removed.
    Note 2 to paragraph (b): Research that is voluntarily subjected to 
U.S. government prepublication review is considered ``intended to be 
published'' when the research is released consistent with the 
prepublication review and any resulting controls.
    Note 3 to paragraph (b): ``Technology'' or ``software'' resulting 
from U.S. government funded research that is subject to government-
imposed access and dissemination or other specific national security 
controls qualifies as ``technology'' or ``software'' resulting from 
fundamental research, provided that all government-imposed national 
security controls have been satisfied and the researchers are free to 
publish the ``technology'' or ``software'' contained in the research 
without restriction. Examples of specific national security controls 
include requirements for prepublication review by the Government, with 
right to withhold permission for publication; restrictions on 
prepublication dissemination of information to non-U.S. citizens or 
other categories of persons; or restrictions on participation of non-
U.S. citizens or other categories of persons in the research. A general 
reference to one or more export control laws or regulations or a general 
reminder that the Government retains the right to classify is not a 
specific national security control.

    (c) Fundamental research definition. Fundamental research means 
research in science, engineering, or mathematics, the results of which 
ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the research 
community, and for which the researchers have not accepted restrictions 
for proprietary or national security reasons.

    (b) A published patent or patent application prepared wholly from 
foreign-origin ``technology'' where the application is being sent to the 
foreign inventor to be executed and returned to the United States for 
subsequent filing in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office;
    (c) A patent application, or an amendment, modification, supplement 
or division of an application, and authorized for filing in a foreign 
country in accordance with the regulations of the Patent and Trademark 
Office, 37 CFR part 5; or
    (d) A patent application when sent to a foreign country before or 
within six months after the filing of a United States patent application 
for the purpose of obtaining the signature of an inventor who was in the 
United States when the invention was made or who is a co-inventor with a 
person residing in the United States.

Sec.734.11  BIS activities conducted outside the United States.

    The Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (50 U.S.C. 4801-4852) 
authorizes the Secretary of Commerce, in carrying out its provisions, to 
undertake activities outside the United States, including, but not 
limited to, conducting investigations; requiring and obtaining 
information from persons; and conducting pre-license checks and post-
shipment verifications. BIS officials will act with due care in the 
jurisdiction of a foreign nation and, to the extent possible, consistent 
with the applicable host nation government's laws. For any action taken 
outside the United States, BIS officials will consult and coordinate 
with the appropriate U.S. Government agencies and act in a manner 
consistent with the United States' international commitments and 
international agreements to which the United States is a party.

unencrypted form between an originator (or the originator's in-country 
security boundary) and an intended recipient (or the recipient's in-
country security boundary), and (ii) the means of decryption are not 
provided to any third party. The originator and the recipient may be the 
same person.
    (c) Ability to access ``technology'' or ``software'' in encrypted 
form. The ability to access ``technology'' or ``software'' in encrypted 
form that satisfies the criteria set forth in paragraph (a)(5) of this 
section does not constitute the release or export of such ``technology'' 
or ``software.''

[81 FR 35604, June 3, 2016, as amended at 82 FR 61156, Dec. 27, 2017]



Sec.734.19  Transfer of access information.

    To the extent an authorization would be required to transfer 
``technology'' or ``software,'' a comparable authorization is required 
to transfer access information if done with ``knowledge'' that such 
transfer would result in the release of such ``technology'' or 
``software'' without a required authorization.

[81 FR 35605, June 3, 2016]



Sec.734.20  Activities that are not deemed reexports.

    The following activities are not deemed reexports (see ``deemed 
reexport'' definition in Sec.734.14(b)):
    (a) Authorized Release of ``technology'' or source code. Release of 
``technology'' or source code by an entity outside the United States to 
a foreign person of a country other than the foreign country where the 
release takes place if:
    (1) The entity is authorized to receive the ``technology'' or source 
code at issue, whether by a license, license exception, or situation 
where no license is required under the EAR for such ``technology'' or 
source code; and
    (2) The entity has ``knowledge'' that the foreign national's most 
recent country of citizenship or permanent residency is that of a 
country to which export from the United States of the ``technology'' or 
source code at issue would be authorized by the EAR either under a 
license exception or in situations where no license under the EAR would 
be required.
    (b) Release to Country Group A:5 nationals. Without limiting the 
scope of paragraph (a), release of ``technology'' or source code by an 
entity outside the United States to a foreign person of a country other

code at issue, whether by a license, license exception, or through 
situations where no license is required under the EAR;
    (2) The foreign person is a bona fide 'permanent and regular 
employee' of the entity and is not a proscribed person (see Sec.772.1 
for definition of proscribed person);
    (3) Such employee is a national exclusively of a country in Country 
Group A:5; and
    (4) The release of ``technology'' or source code takes place 
entirely within the physical territory of any such country, or within

controlled ``technology'' contrary to the EAR;
    (B) Screens the employee for substantive contacts with countries 
listed in Country Group D:5 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the 
EAR). Although nationality does not, in and of itself, prohibit access 
to ``technology'' or source code subject to the EAR, an employee who has 
substantive contacts with foreign persons from countries listed in 
Country Group D:5 shall be presumed to raise a risk of diversion, unless 
BIS determines otherwise;
    (C) Maintains a technology security or clearance plan that includes 
procedures for screening employees for such substantive contacts;

              Sec. Supplement No. 1 to Part 734 [Reserved]



   Sec. Supplement No. 2 to Part 734--Guidelines for De Minimis Rules

    (a) Calculation of the value of controlled U.S.-origin content in 
foreign-made items is to be performed for the purposes of Sec.734.4 of 
this part, to determine whether the percentage of U.S.-origin content is 
de minimis. (Note that you do not need to make these calculations if the 
foreign made item does not require a license to the destination in 
question.) Use the following guidelines to perform such calculations:
    (1) U.S.-origin controlled content. To identify U.S.-origin 
controlled content for purposes of the de minimis rules, you must 
determine

[[Page 260]]

the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) of each U.S.-origin item 
incorporated into a foreign-made product. Then, you must identify which, 
if any, of those U.S.-origin items would require a license from BIS if 
they were to be exported or reexported (in the form in which you 
received them) to the foreign-made product's country of destination. For 
purposes of identifying U.S.-origin controlled content, you should 
consult the Commerce Country Chart in supplement no. 1 to part 738 of 
the EAR and controls described in part 746 of the EAR. Part 744 of the 
EAR should not be used to identify controlled U.S. content for purposes 
of determining the applicability of the de minimis rules. In identifying 
U.S.-origin controlled content, do not take account of commodities, 
software, or technology that could be exported or reexported to the 
country of destination without a license (designated as ``NLR'') or 
under License Exception GBS (see part 740 of the EAR). Commodities 
subject only to short supply controls are not included in calculating 
U.S. content.

    Note to paragraph (a)(1): U.S.-origin controlled content is 
considered `incorporated' for de minimis purposes if the U.S.-origin 
controlled item is: Essential to the functioning of the foreign 
equipment; customarily included in sales of the foreign equipment; and 
reexported with the foreign produced item. U.S.-origin software may be 
`bundled' with foreign produced commodities; see Sec.734.4 of this 
part. For purposes of determining de minimis levels, technology and 
source code used to design or produce foreign-made commodities or 
software are not considered to be incorporated into such foreign-made 
commodities or software.

    (2) Value of U.S.-origin controlled content. The value of the U.S.-
origin controlled content shall reflect the fair market price of such 
content in the market where the foreign product is being produced. In 
most cases, this value will be the same as the actual cost to the 
foreign manufacturer of the U.S.-origin commodity, technology, or 
software. When the foreign manufacturer and the U.S. supplier are 
affiliated and have special arrangements that result in below-market 
pricing, the value of the U.S.-origin controlled content should reflect 
fair market prices that would normally be charged to unaffiliated 
customers in the same foreign market. If fair market value cannot be 
determined based upon actual arms-length transaction data for the U.S.-
origin controlled content in question, then you must determine another 
reliable valuation method to calculate or derive the fair market value. 
Such methods may include the use of comparable market prices or costs of 
production and distribution. The EAR do not require calculations based 
upon any one accounting system or U.S. accounting standards. However, 
the method you use must be consistent with your business practice.
    (3) Foreign-made product value--(i) General. The value of the 
foreign-made product shall reflect the fair market price of such product 
in the market where the foreign product is sold. In most cases, this 
value will be the same as the actual cost to a buyer of the foreign-made 
product. When the foreign manufacturer and the buyer of their product 
are affiliated and have special arrangements that result in below-market 
pricing, the value of the foreign-made product should reflect fair 
market prices that would normally be charged to unaffiliated customers 
in the same foreign market. If fair market value cannot be determined 
based upon actual arms-length transaction data for the foreign-made 
product in question, then you must determine another reliable valuation 
method to calculate or derive the fair market value. Such methods may 
include the use of comparable market prices or costs of production and 
distribution. The EAR do not require calculations based upon any one 
accounting system or U.S. accounting standards. However, the method you 
use must be consistent with your business practice.
    (ii) Foreign-Made Software. In calculating the value of foreign-made 
software for purposes of the de minimis rules, you may make an estimate 
of future sales of that foreign software. The total value of foreign-
made software will be the sum of: The value of actual sales of that 
software based on orders received at the time the foreign software 
incorporates U.S.-origin content and, if applicable; and an estimate of 
all future sales of that software.

    Note to paragraph (a)(3): Regardless of the accounting systems, 
standard, or conventions you use in the operation of your business, you 
may not depreciate reported fair market values or otherwise reduce fair 
market values through related accounting conventions. Values may be 
historic or projected. However, you may rely on projected values only to 
the extent that they remain consistent with your documentation.

    (4) Calculating percentage value of U.S.-origin items. To determine 
the percentage value of U.S-origin controlled content incorporated in, 
commingled with, or ``bundled'' with the foreign produced item, divide 
the total value of the U.S.-origin controlled content by the foreign-
made item value, then multiply the resulting number times 100. If the 
percentage value of incorporated U.S.-origin items is equal to or less 
than the de minimis level described in Sec.734.4 of the EAR, then the 
foreign-made item is not subject to the EAR.
    (b) One-time report. As stated in paragraphs (c) and (d) of Sec.
734.4, a one-time report is required before reliance on the de minimis 
rules for technology. The purpose of the report is

[[Page 261]]

solely to permit the U.S. Government to evaluate whether U.S. content 
calculations were performed correctly.
    (1) Contents of report. You must include in your report a 
description of the scope and nature of the foreign technology that is 
the subject of the report and a description of its fair market value, 
along with the rationale and basis for the valuation of such foreign 
technology. Your report must indicate the country of destination for the 
foreign technology reexports when the U.S.-origin controlled content 
exceeds 10%, so that BIS can evaluate whether the U.S.-origin controlled 
content was correctly identified based on paragraph (a)(1) of this 
Supplement. The report does not require information regarding the end-
use or end-users of the reexported foreign technology. You must include 
in your report the name, title, address, telephone number, E-mail 
address, and facsimile number of the person BIS may contact concerning 
your report.
    (2) Submission of report. You must submit your report to BIS using 
one of the following methods:
    (i) E-mail: [email protected];
    (ii) Fax: (202) 482-3355; or
    (iii) Mail or Hand Delivery/Courier: U.S. Department of Commerce, 
Bureau of Industry and Security, Regulatory Policy Division, 14th and 
Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Room 2099B, Washington, DC 20230.
    (3) Report and wait. If you have not been contacted by BIS 
concerning your report within thirty days after filing the report with 
BIS, you may rely upon the calculations described in the report unless 
and until BIS contacts you and instructs you otherwise. BIS may contact 
you with questions concerning your report or to indicate that BIS does 
not accept the assumptions or rationale for your calculations. If you 
receive such a contact or communication from BIS within thirty days 
after filing the report with BIS, you may not rely upon the calculations 
described in the report, and may not use the de minimis rules for 
technology that are described in Sec.734.4 of this part, until BIS has 
indicated that such calculations were performed correctly.

Sec.736.1  Introduction.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C. A person may undertake transactions subject to the 
EAR without a license or other authorization, unless the regulations 
affirmatively state such a requirement. As such, if an export, reexport, 
or activity is subject to the EAR, the general prohibitions contained in 
this part and the License Exceptions specified in part 740 of the EAR 
must be reviewed to determine if a license is necessary. In the case of 
all exports from the United States, you must document your export as 
described in part 762 of the EAR regarding recordkeeping and clear your 
export through the U.S. Customs Service as described in part 758 of the 
EAR regarding export clearance requirements. Also note that for short 
supply controls all prohibitions and License Exceptions are in part 754 
of the EAR.
    (a) In this part we tell you:
    (1) The facts that make your proposed export, reexport, or conduct 
subject to these general prohibitions, and
    (2) The ten general prohibitions.
    (b) Your obligations under the ten general prohibitions and under 
the EAR depend in large part upon the five types of information 
described in Sec.736.2(a) of this part and upon the general 
prohibitions described in Sec.736.2(b) of this part. The ten general 
prohibitions contain cross-references to other parts of the EAR that 
further define the breadth of the general prohibitions. For that reason, 
this part is not freestanding. In part 732, we provide certain steps you 
may follow in proper order to help you understand the general 
prohibitions and their relationship to other parts of the EAR.
    (c) If you violate any of these ten general prohibitions, or engage 
in

[[Page 262]]

other conduct contrary to the Export Administration Act, the EAR, or any 
order, license, License Exception, or authorization issued thereunder, 
as described in part 764 of the EAR regarding enforcement, you will be 
subject to the sanctions described in that part.



Sec.736.2  General prohibitions and determination of applicability.

    (a) Information or facts that determine the applicability of the 
general prohibitions. The following five types of facts determine your 
obligations under the ten general prohibitions and the EAR generally:
    (1) Classification of the item. The classification of the item on 
the Commerce Control List (see part 774 of the EAR);
    (2) Destination. The country of ultimate destination for an export 
or reexport (see parts 738 and 774 of the EAR concerning the Country 
Chart and the Commerce Control List);
    (3) End-user. The ultimate end user (see General Prohibition Four 
(paragraph (b)(4) of this section) and supplement no. 1 to part 764 of 
the EAR for references to persons with whom your transaction may not be 
permitted; see General Prohibition Five (Paragraph (b)(5) of this 
section) and part 744 for references to end-users for whom you may need 
an export or reexport license).
    (4) End-use. The ultimate end-use (see General Prohibition Five 
(paragraph (b)(5) of this section) and part 744 of the EAR for general 
end-use restrictions); and
    (5) Conduct. Conduct such as contracting, financing, and freight 
forwarding in support of a proliferation project as described in part 
744 of the EAR.
    (b) General prohibitions. The following ten general prohibitions 
describe certain exports, reexports, and other conduct, subject to the 
scope of the EAR, in which you may not engage unless you either have a 
license from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) or qualify under 
part 740 of the EAR for a License Exception from each applicable general 
prohibition in this paragraph. The License Exceptions at part 740 of the 
EAR apply only to General Prohibitions One (Exports and Reexports in the 
Form Received), Two (Parts and Components Reexports), and Three 
(Foreign-Produced Direct Product Reexports); however, selected License 
Exceptions are specifically referenced and authorized in part 746 of the 
EAR concerning embargo destinations and in Sec.744.2(c) of the EAR 
regarding nuclear end-uses.
    (1) General Prohibition One--Export and reexport of controlled items 
to listed countries (Exports and Reexports). You may not, without a 
license or License Exception, export any item subject to the EAR to 
another country or reexport any item of U.S.-origin if each of the 
following is true:
    (i) The item is controlled for a reason indicated in the applicable 
Export Control Classification Number (ECCN), and
    (ii) Export to the country of destination requires a license for the 
control reason as indicated on the Country Chart at part 738 of the EAR. 
(The scope of this prohibition is determined by the correct 
classification of your item and the ultimate destination as that 
combination is reflected on the Country Chart.) \1\ Note that each 
License Exception described at part 740 of the EAR supersedes General 
Prohibition One if all terms and conditions of a given License Exception 
are met by the exporter or reexporter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See part 738 of the EAR for selected controls that are not 
specified on the Country Chart.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2) General Prohibition Two--Reexport and export from abroad of 
foreign-made items incorporating more than a de minimis amount of 
controlled U.S. content (U.S. Content Reexports). (i) You may not, 
without a license or license exception, reexport or export from abroad 
foreign-made commodities that incorporate controlled U.S.-origin 
commodities, foreign-made commodities that are ``bundled'' with 
controlled U.S.-origin software, foreign-made software that is 
commingled with controlled U.S.-origin software, or foreign-made 
technology that is commingled with controlled U.S.-origin technology if 
such items require a license according to any of the provisions in the 
EAR and incorporate or are commingled with more than a de minimis amount 
of controlled U.S. content, as defined in

[[Page 263]]

Sec.734.4 of the EAR concerning the scope of the EAR.
    (A) It incorporates more than the de minimis amount of controlled 
U.S. content, as defined in Sec.734.4 of the EAR concerning the scope 
of the EAR;
    (B) It is controlled for a reason indicated in the applicable ECCN; 
and
    (C) Its export to the country of destination requires a license for 
that control reason as indicated on the Country Chart. (The scope of 
this prohibition is determined by the correct classification of your 
foreign-made item and the ultimate destination, as that combination is 
reflected on the Country Chart.)
    (ii) Each License Exception described in part 740 of the EAR 
supersedes General Prohibition Two if all terms and conditions of a 
given License Exception are met by the exporter or reexporter.
    (3) General Prohibition Three--Foreign-produced direct product of 
specified ``technology'' and ``software'' (Foreign-Produced Direct 
Product Rule)--(i) Country scope of prohibition. You may not, without a 
license or license exception, reexport any item subject to the scope of 
this General Prohibition Three to a destination in Country Group D:1, 
E:1, or E:2 (See supplement no.1 to part 740 of the EAR). Additionally, 
you may not, without a license or license exception, reexport or export 
from abroad any ECCN 0A919 commodities subject to the scope of this 
General Prohibition Three to a destination in Country Group D:1, D:3, 
D:4, D:5, E:1, or E:2.
    (ii) Product scope of foreign-made items subject to prohibition. 
This General Prohibition 3 applies if an item meets either the 
Conditions defining the direct product of technology or the Conditions 
defining the direct product of a plant in paragraph (b)(3)(ii)(A) of 
this section:
    (A) Conditions defining direct product of technology. Foreign-made 
items are subject to this General Prohibition 3 if they meet both of the 
following conditions:
    (1) They are the direct product of technology or software that 
requires a written assurance as a supporting document for a license, as 
defined in paragraph (o)(3)(i) of supplement no. 2 to part 748 of the 
EAR, or as a precondition for the use of License Exception TSR at Sec.
740.6 of the EAR, and
    (2) They are subject to national security controls as designated on 
the applicable ECCN of the Commerce Control List at part 774 of the EAR.
    (B) Conditions defining direct product of a plant. Foreign-made 
items are also subject to this General Prohibition 3 if they are the 
direct product of a complete plant or any major component of a plant if 
both of the following conditions are met:
    (1) Such plant or component is the direct product of technology that 
requires a written assurance as a supporting document for a license or 
as a precondition for the use of License Exception TSR in Sec.740.6 of 
the EAR, and
    (2) Such foreign-made direct products of the plant or component are 
subject to national security controls as designated on the applicable 
ECCN of the Commerce Control List at part 774 of the EAR.
    (iii) Country scope of prohibition for 9x515 or ``600 series'' 
items. You may not, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(3)(v) or (vi) 
of this section, reexport or export from abroad without a license any 
``600 series'' item subject to the scope of this General Prohibition 
Three to a destination in Country Groups D:1, D:3, D:4, D:5, E:1, or E:2 
(see supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR). You may not, except as 
provided in paragraphs (b)(3)(v) or (vi) of this section, reexport or 
export from abroad without a license any 9x515 item subject to the scope 
of this General Prohibition Three to a destination in Country Groups 
D:5, E:1, or E:2 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR).
    (iv) Product scope of 9x515 and ``600 series'' items subject to this 
prohibition. This General Prohibition Three applies if a 9x515 or ``600 
series'' item meets either of the following conditions:
    (A) Conditions defining direct product of ``technology'' or 
``software'' for 9x515 and ``600 series'' items. Foreign-made 9x515 and

the Commerce Control List in part 774 of the EAR, and
    (2) Such foreign-made direct products of the plant or major 
component are in the 9x515 or ``600 series'' as designated on the 
applicable ECCN of the Commerce Control List in part 774 of the EAR.
    (v) 9x515 and ``600 series'' foreign-produced direct products of 
U.S. ``technology'' or ``software'' subject to this General Prohibition 
Three do not require a license for reexport or export from abroad to the 
new destination unless the same item, if exported from the U.S. to the 
new destination would have been prohibited or made subject to a license 
requirement by part 742, 744, 746, or 764 of the EAR.
    (vi) Criteria for prohibition relating to parties on Entity List. 
You may not reexport, export from abroad, or transfer (in-country) 
without a license or license exception any foreign-produced item 
controlled under footnote 1 of supplement no. 4 to part 744 (``Entity 
List'') when there is ``knowledge'' that:
    (A) The foreign-produced item will be incorporated into, or will be 
used in the ``production'' or ``development'' of any ``part,'' 
``component,'' or ``equipment'' produced, purchased, or ordered by any 
entity with a footnote 1 designation in the license requirement column 
of this supplement; or
    (B) Any entity with a footnote 1 designation in the license 
requirement column of this supplement is a party to any transaction 
involving the foreign-produced item, e.g., as a ``purchaser,'' 
``intermediate consignee,'' ``ultimate consignee,'' or ``end-user.''
    (vii) License exceptions. All license exceptions described in part 
740 of the EAR are available for foreign-produced items that are subject 
to the EAR pursuant to paragraphs (b)(3)(i) through (v) of this section 
if all terms and conditions of the pertinent license exception terms and 
conditions are met and the restrictions in Sec.740.2 do not apply. For 
foreign-produced items that are subject to the EAR pursuant to paragraph 
(b)(3)(vi) of this section, license exceptions are available only as set 
forth in part 740 of the EAR pursuant to Sec.744.11(a), i.e., the 
license requirement column for the entity, if all terms and conditions 
of the pertinent license exception are met and the restrictions in Sec.
740.2 do not apply.
    (4) General Prohibition Four (Denial Orders)--Engaging in actions 
prohibited by a denial order. (i) You may not take any action that is 
prohibited by a denial order issued under part 766 of the EAR, 
Administrative Enforcement Proceedings. These orders prohibit many 
actions in addition to direct exports by the person denied export 
privileges, including some transfers within a single country, either in 
the United States or abroad, by other persons. You are responsible for 
ensuring that any of your transactions in which a person who is denied 
export privileges is involved do not violate the terms of the order. 
Orders denying export privileges are published in the Federal Register 
when they are issued and are the legally controlling documents in 
accordance with their terms. BIS also maintains compilations of persons 
denied export privileges on its Web site at http://www.bis.doc.gov. BIS 
may, on an exceptional basis, authorize activity otherwise prohibited by 
a denial order. See Sec.764.3(a)(2) of the EAR.
    (ii) There are no License Exceptions described in part 740 of the 
EAR that authorize conduct prohibited by this General Prohibition Four.
    (5) General Prohibition Five--Export or reexport to prohibited end-
uses or end-users (End-Use End-User). You may not, without a license, 
knowingly export or reexport any item subject to the EAR

[[Page 265]]

to an end-user or end-use that is prohibited by part 744 of the EAR.
    (6) General Prohibition Six--Export or reexport to embargoed 
destinations (Embargo). (i) You may not, without a license or License 
Exception authorized under part 746, export or reexport any item subject 
to the EAR to a country that is embargoed by the United States or 
otherwise made subject to controls as both are described at part 746 of 
the EAR.
    (ii) License Exceptions to General Prohibition Six are described in 
part 746 of the EAR, on Embargoes and Other Special Controls. Unless a 
License Exception or other authorization is authorized in part 746 of 
the EAR, the License Exceptions described in part 740 of the EAR are not 
available to overcome this general prohibition.
    (7) General Prohibition Seven--Support of proliferation activities 
(U.S. person proliferation activity)--(i) Support of proliferation 
activities (U.S. person proliferation activity). (A) If you are a U.S. 
person as that term is defined in Sec.744.6(c) of the EAR, you may not 
engage in any activities prohibited by Sec.744.6(a) or (b) of the EAR, 
which prohibits the performance, without a license from BIS, of certain 
financing, contracting, service, support, transportation, freight 
forwarding, or employment that you know will assist in certain 
proliferation activities described further in part 744 of the EAR. There 
are no License Exceptions to this General Prohibition Seven in part 740 
of the EAR unless specifically authorized in that part.
    (B) If you are a U.S. person as that term is defined in Sec.
744.6(c) of the EAR, you may not export a Schedule 1 chemical listed in 
supplement no. 1 to Part 745 without first complying with the provisions 
of Sec. Sec.742.18 and 745.1 of the EAR.
    (C) If you are a U.S. person as that term is defined in Sec.
744.6(c) of the EAR, you may not export a Schedule 3 chemical listed in 
supplement no. 1 to part 745 to a destination not listed in supplement 
no. 2 to Part 745 without complying with the End-Use Certificate 
requirements in Sec.745.2 of the EAR that apply to Schedule 3 
chemicals controlled for CW reasons in ECCN 1C350, ECCN 1C355, or ECCN 
1C395.
    (8) General Prohibition Eight--In transit shipments and items to be 
unladen from vessels or aircraft (Intransit)--(i) Unlading and shipping 
in transit. You may not export or reexport an item through, or transit 
through a country listed in paragraph (b)(8)(ii) of this section, unless 
a license exception or license authorizes such an export or reexport 
directly to or transit through such a country of transit, or unless such 
an export or reexport is eligible to such a country of transit without a 
license.
    (ii) Country scope. This General Prohibition Eight applies to 
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Cambodia, Cuba, Georgia, Kazakhstan, 
Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Mongolia, North Korea, Russia, Tajikistan, 
Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam.
    (9) General Prohibition Nine--Violation of any order, terms, and 
conditions (Orders, Terms, and Conditions). You may not violate terms or 
conditions of a license or of a License Exception issued under or made a 
part of the EAR, and you may not violate any order issued under or made 
a part of the EAR. There are no License Exceptions to this General 
Prohibition Nine in part 740 of the EAR. Supplements Nos. 1 and 2 to 
this part provide for certain General Orders and Administrative Orders.
    (10) General Prohibition Ten--Proceeding with transactions with 
knowledge that a violation has occurred or is about to occur (Knowledge 
Violation to Occur). You may not sell, transfer, export, reexport, 
finance, order, buy, remove, conceal, store, use, loan, dispose of, 
transport, forward, or otherwise service, in whole or in part, any item 
subject to the EAR and exported or to be exported with knowledge that a 
violation of the Export Administration Regulations, the Export 
Administration Act or any order, license, License Exception, or other 
authorization issued thereunder has occurred, is about to occur, or is 
intended to occur in connection with the item. Nor may you rely upon any 
license or License Exception after notice to you of the suspension or 
revocation of that license or exception. There are no License Exceptions 
to this General Prohibition Ten in part 740 of the EAR.

            Sec. Supplement No. 1 to Part 736--General Orders

    (a) General Order No. 1:
    General Order No. 1 of September 16, 1998; Establishing a 24-month 
validity period on reexport authorizations issued without a validity 
period and revoking those exceeding that period.
    (1) Reexport authorizations issued within 24-months of the General 
Order. All reexport authorizations issued with no validity period within 
the 24-months preceding September 16, 1998 shall be deemed to have an 
expiration date which shall be the date 24-months from the date of 
issuance of the reexport authorization or November 16, 1998, whichever 
is longer.
    (2) Reexport authorizations issued before the 24-month period 
preceding the General Order. For reexport authorizations issued with no 
validity period before the 24-month period preceding September 16, 1998:
    (i) Effective September 16, 1998, all such outstanding reexport 
authorizations for terrorist-supporting countries (see parts 742 and 746 
of the EAR) are revoked.
    (ii) Effective November 16, 1998, all other such outstanding 
reexport authorizations are revoked.
    (3) Extensions. If necessary, you may request extensions of such 
authorizations according to procedures set forth in Sec.750.7(g) of 
the EAR.
    (4) Specific Notice from BIS. If you have received, or should you 
receive, specific notice from BIS with regard to a reexport 
authorization covered by this General Order, informing you of a 
revocation, suspension, or revision (including validity period) of any 
such reexport authorization, then the terms of that specific notice will 
be controlling.
    (5) Definition of ``authorization''. The term ``authorization'' as 
used in this General Order encompasses the range of reexport 
authorizations granted by BIS, which includes licenses, individual 
letters, and other types of notifications.
    (b) General Order No. 2:
    General Order No. 2; section 5(b) of the Syria Accountability and 
Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003 (SAA) gives the President 
authority to waive the application of certain prohibitions set forth in 
the SAA if the President determines that it is in the national security 
interest of the United States to do so. The President made such a 
determination in Executive Order 13338, finding that it was ``in the 
national security interest of the United States to waive application of 
subsection 5(a)(1) and 5(a)(2)(A) of the SAA so as to permit the 
exportation or reexportation of certain items as specified in the 
Department of Commerce's General Order No. 2.'' The President's 
reference to General Order No. 2 addresses applications to export and 
reexport the following items, which are considered on a case-by-case 
basis as opposed to the general policy of denial set forth in section 
746.9 of the Regulations: Items in support of activities, diplomatic or 
otherwise, of the United States Government (to the extent that 
regulation of such exportation or reexportation would not fall within 
the President's constitutional authority to conduct the nation's foreign 
affairs); medicine (on the CCL) and medical devices (both as defined in 
part 772 of the EAR); parts and components intended to ensure the safety 
of civil aviation and the safe operation of commercial passenger 
aircraft; aircraft chartered by the Syrian Government for the transport 
of Syrian Government officials on official Syrian Government business; 
telecommunications equipment and associated computers, software and 
technology; items in support of United Nations operations in Syria; and 
items necessary for the support of the Syrian people, including, but not 
limited to, items related to water supply and sanitation, agricultural 
production and food processing, power generation, oil and gas 
production, construction and engineering, transportation, and 
educational infrastructure. The total dollar value of each approved 
license for aircraft parts for flight safety normally will be limited to 
no more than $2 million over the 24-month standard license term, except 
in the case of complete overhauls.

    Note to General Order No. 2: The controls for exports and reexports 
to Syria are set forth in Sec.746.9 of the EAR.

    (c) General Order No. 3:
    General Order No. 3 of July 22, 2015. Certain licenses issued by BIS 
prior to July 22, 2015 contain conditions that restrict the export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or within Country Group E:1 as 
specified in supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR. At the time those 
license were issued, Cuba was in Country Group E:1. Many of those 
restrictions were intended to apply to Cuba, not only as a State Sponsor 
of Terrorism but also as a country subject to unilateral embargo. 
However, BIS did not always list both Country Groups E:1 and E:2 in 
license conditions because, at the time, doing so would have been 
redundant. However, with the rescission of Cuba's designation as a State 
Sponsor of Terrorism and resultant removal from Country Group E:1, 
continuing those conditions with respect to Cuba is consistent with the 
embargo. Accordingly, all conditions that apply to Country Group E:1 on 
licenses issued prior to July 22, 2015 that are in effect on that date, 
are revised to apply to Country Groups E:1 and E:2 as specified in

[[Page 267]]

supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR. Licensees who seek 
authorization for transactions that are affected by this General Order 
No. 3 may submit license applications that refer to General Order No. 3 
and explain the reason for the request in Block 24 of the application. 
All license applications involving Cuba are reviewed pursuant to the 
licensing policy in Sec.746.2(b) of the EAR. The request should 
provide any available information in support of the argument that the 
transaction would be consistent with the licensing policy in Sec.
746.2(b) of the EAR.
    (d) General Order No. 4 [Reserved]
    (e) General Order No. 5:
    General Order No. 5 of April 16, 2013; Authorization for Items the 
President Determines No Longer Warrant Control under the United States 
Munitions List (USML).
    (1) Continued use of DDTC approvals from the Department of State's 
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) for items that become 
subject to the EAR. Items the President has determined no longer warrant 
control under the USML will become subject to the EAR as published final 
rules that transfer the items to the CCL become effective. DDTC 
licenses, agreements, or other approvals that contain items 
transitioning from the USML to the CCL and that are issued prior to the 
effective date of the final rule transferring such items to the CCL may 
continue to be used in accordance with the Department of State's final 
rule, Amendments to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: 
Initial Implementation of Export Control Reform, published on April 16, 
2013 in the Federal Register.
    (2) BIS authorization.
    (i) Where continued use of DDTC authorization is not or is no longer 
an available option, or a holder of an existing DDTC authorization 
returns or terminates that authorization, any required authorization to 
export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) a transitioned item on or 
after the effective date of the applicable final rule must be obtained 
under the EAR. Following the publication date and prior to the effective 
date of a final rule moving an item from the USML to the CCL, applicants 
may submit license applications to BIS for authorization to export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country) the transitioning item. BIS will 
process the license applications in accordance with Sec.750.4 of the 
EAR, hold the license application without action (HWA) if necessary, and 
issue a license, if approved, to the applicant no sooner than the 
effective date of the final rule transitioning the items to the CCL.
    (ii) Following the effective date of a final rule moving items from 
the USML to the CCL, exporters, reexporters, and transferors of such 
items may return DDTC licenses in accordance with Sec.123.22 of the 
ITAR or terminate Technical Assistance Agreements, Manufacturing License 
Agreements, or Warehouse and Distribution Agreements in accordance with 
Sec.124.6 of the ITAR and thereafter export, reexport, or transfer 
(in-country) such items under applicable provisions of the EAR, 
including any applicable license requirements. No transfer (in-country) 
may be made of an item exported under a DDTC authorization containing 
provisos or other limitations without a license issued by BIS unless (i) 
the transfer (in-country) is authorized by an EAR license exception and 
the terms and conditions of the License Exception have been satisfied, 
or (ii) no license would otherwise be required under the EAR to export 
or reexport the item to the new end user.
    (3) Prior commodity jurisdiction determinations. If the U.S. State 
Department has previously determined that an item is not subject to the 
jurisdiction of the ITAR and the item was not listed in a then existing 
``018'' series ECCN (for purposes of the ``600 series'' ECCNs, or the 
0x5zz ECCNs) or in a then existing ECCN 9A004.b or related software or 
technology ECCN (for purposes of the 9x515 ECCNs), then the item is per 
se not within the scope of a ``600 series'' ECCN, a 0x5zz ECCN, or a 
9x515 ECCN. If the item was not listed elsewhere on the CCL at the time 
of such determination (i.e., the item was designated EAR99), the item 
shall remain designated as EAR99 unless specifically enumerated by BIS 
or DDTC in an amendment to the CCL or to the USML, respectively.
    (4) Voluntary Self-Disclosure. Parties to transactions involving 
transitioning items are cautioned to monitor closely their compliance 
with the EAR and the ITAR. Should a possible or actual violation of the 
EAR, or of any license or authorization issued thereunder, be 
discovered, the person or persons involved are strongly encouraged to 
submit a Voluntary Self-Disclosure to the Office of Export Enforcement, 
in accordance with Sec.764.5 of the EAR. Permission from the Office of 
Exporter Services, in accordance with Sec.764.5(f) of the EAR, to 
engage in further activities in connection with that item may also be 
necessary. Should a possible or actual violation of the ITAR, or of any 
license or authorization issued thereunder, be discovered, the person or 
persons involved are strongly encouraged to submit a Voluntary 
Disclosure to DDTC, in accordance with Sec.127.12 of the ITAR. For 
possible or actual violations of both the EAR and ITAR, the person or 
persons involved are strongly encouraged to submit disclosures to both 
BIS and DDTC, indicating to each agency that they also have made a 
disclosure to the other agency.

Sec.738.1  Introduction.

    (a) Commerce Control List scope. (1) In this part, references to the 
EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. The Bureau of 
Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL) 
within the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), which includes items 
(i.e., commodities, software, and technology) subject to the export 
licensing authority of BIS. The CCL does not include those items 
exclusively controlled for export or reexport by another department or 
agency of the U.S. Government. In instances where agencies other than 
the Department of Commerce administer controls over related items, 
entries in the CCL contain a reference to these controls.
    (2) The CCL is contained in supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR. 
Supplement no. 2 to part 774 of the EAR contains the General Technology 
and Software Notes relevant to entries contained in the CCL.
    (3) Items that warrant control for export or reexport but currently 
are not permanently classified on the CCL. Items subject to temporary 
CCL controls are classified under the ECCN 0Y521 series (i.e., 0A521, 
0B521, 0C521, 0D521, and 0E521) pursuant to Sec.742.6(a)(8) of the EAR 
while a determination is made as to whether classification under a 
revised or new ECCN, or an EAR99 designation, is appropriate.
    (b) Commerce Country Chart scope. BIS also maintains the Commerce 
Country Chart. The Commerce Country Chart, located in supplement no. 1 
to part 738, contains licensing requirements based on destination and 
Reason for Control. In combination with the CCL, the Commerce Country 
Chart allows you to determine whether a license is required for items on 
the CCL to any country in the world.

[61 FR 12756, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 77 FR 22198, Apr. 13, 2012; 
85 FR 23462, Apr. 28, 2020]



Sec.738.2  Commerce Control List (CCL) structure.

    (a) Categories. The CCL is divided into 10 categories, numbered as 
follows:

0--Nuclear Materials, Facilities and Equipment and Miscellaneous
1--Materials, Chemicals, ``Microorganisms,'' and Toxins
2--Materials Processing
3--Electronics
4--Computers
5--Telecommunications and Information Security
6--Lasers and Sensors
7--Navigation and Avionics
8--Marine
9--Aerospace and Propulsion

    (b) Groups. Within each category, items are arranged by group. Each 
category contains the same five groups. Each Group is identified by the 
letters A through E, as follows:

A--Equipment, Assemblies and Components
B--Test, Inspection and Production Equipment
C--Materials
D--Software
E--Technology

    (c) Order of review. The CCL includes a supplement no. 4 to part 
774--Commerce Control List Order of Review. This supplement establishes 
the steps (i.e., the order of review) that should be followed in 
classifying items that are ``subject to the EAR.''
    (d) Entries--(1) Composition of an entry. Within each group, 
individual items are identified by an Export Control Classification 
Number (ECCN). Each number consists of a set of digits and a letter. The 
first digit identifies the general category within which the entry falls 
(e.g., 3A001). The letter immediately following this first digit 
identifies under which of the five groups the item is listed (e.g., 3 
A001). The second digit differentiates individual entries by identifying 
the type of controls associated with the items contained in the entry 
(e.g., 3A001). Listed below are the Reasons for Control associated with 
this second digit.

0: National Security reasons (including Dual Use and Wassenaar 
Arrangement Munitions List) and Items on the NSG Dual Use Annex and 
Trigger List
1: Missile Technology reasons
2: Nuclear Nonproliferation reasons
3: Chemical & Biological Weapons reasons

[[Page 270]]

5: Items warranting national security or foreign policy controls at the 
determination of the Department of Commerce.
6: ``600 series'' controls items because they are items on the Wassenaar 
Arrangement Munitions List (WAML) or formerly on the U.S. Munitions List 
(USML).
9: Anti-terrorism, Crime Control, Regional Stability, Short Supply, UN 
Sanctions, etc.

    (i) Since Reasons for Control are not mutually exclusive, numbers 
are assigned in order of precedence. As an example, if an item is 
controlled for both National Security and Missile Technology reasons, 
the entry's third alphanumeric character will be a ``0''. If the item is 
controlled only for Missile Technology the third alphanumeric character 
will be ``1''.
    (ii) The numbers in either the second or third digit (e.g., 3A001) 
serve to differentiate between multilateral and unilateral entries. An 
entry with the number ``9'' as the second digit, identifies the entire 
entry as controlled for a unilateral concern (e.g., 2B991 for anti-
terrorism reasons). If the number ``9'' appears as the third digit, the 
item is controlled for unilateral purposes based on a proliferation 
concern (e.g., 2A290 is controlled for unilateral purposes based on 
nuclear nonproliferation concerns).
    (iii) The last digit within each entry (e.g., 3A001) is used for the 
sequential numbering of ECCNs to differentiate between entries on the 
CCL.
    (iv) Last two characters in a ``600 series'' ECCN. The last two 
characters of each ``600 series'' ECCN generally track the Wassenaar 
Arrangement Munitions List (WAML) categories for the types of items at 
issue. The WAML ML21 (``software'') and ML22 (``technology'') are, 
however, included in D (``software'') and E (``technology'') CCL product 
groups to remain consistent with the structure of the CCL.
    (2) Reading an ECCN. An ECCN is made up of four sections, the 
``Heading,'' ``License Requirements,'' ``License Exceptions,'' and 
``List of Items Controlled'' sections. A brief description of each 
section and its use follows:
    (i) Heading. A description of the items controlled is provided next 
to each ECCN. In certain ECCNs, the description is a summary and will 
direct you to ``see List of Items Controlled'' for a complete list of 
items classified under those respective ECCNs. The ``Items'' paragraph 
in the List of Items Controlled section will describe all of the items 
that the ECCN controls for the portions of the heading that precede the 
``see List of Items Controlled'' phrase. Portions of the heading that 
follow the phrase are complete descriptions of the items controlled by 
that portion of the heading. If ``see List of Items Controlled'' appears 
at the end of the heading, the ``Items'' paragraph in the List of Items 
Controlled section is the exclusive, complete list of the items the ECCN 
controls.
    (ii) License Requirements. This section contains a separate line 
identifying all possible Reasons for Control in order of precedence, and 
two columns entitled ``Control(s)'' and ``Country Chart''.
    (A) The ``Controls'' header identifies all applicable Reasons for 
Control, in order of restrictiveness, and to what extent each applies 
(e.g., to the entire entry or only to certain subparagraphs). Those 
requiring licenses for a larger number of countries and/or items are 
listed first. As you read down the list the number of countries and/or 
items requiring a license declines. Since Reasons for Control are not 
mutually exclusive, items controlled within a particular ECCN may be 
controlled for more than one reason. The following is a list of all 
possible Reasons for Control:

AT Anti-Terrorism
CB Chemical & Biological Weapons
CC Crime Control
CW Chemical Weapons Convention
EI Encryption Items
FC Firearms Convention
MT Missile Technology
NS National Security
NP Nuclear Nonproliferation
RS Regional Stability
SS Short Supply
UN United Nations Embargo
SI Significant Items
SL Surreptitious Listening

    (B) The ``Country Chart'' header identifies, for each applicable 
Reason for Control, a column name and number (e.g., CB Column 1). These 
column identifiers are used to direct you from the CCL to the 
appropriate column identifying the countries requiring a license. 
Consult part 742 of the EAR for an indepth discussion of the licensing

[[Page 271]]

requirements and policies applicable to each Country Chart column.
    (iii) License Exceptions. This section provides a brief eligibility 
statement for each ECCN-driven License Exception that may be applicable 
to your transaction, and should be consulted only AFTER you have 
determined a license is required based on an analysis of the entry and 
the Country Chart. The brief eligibility statement in this section is 
provided to assist you in deciding which ECCN-driven License Exception 
related to your particular item and destination you should explore prior 
to submitting an application. The term ``Yes'' (followed in some 
instances by the scope of Yes) appears next to each available ECCN-
driven License Exception. Some ECCNs have License Exception STA 
exclusion paragraphs. These paragraphs identify items for which the 
License Exception STA provisions in Sec.740.20(c)(2) of the EAR may 
not be used, but do not otherwise affect License Exception STA 
availability. The term ``N/A'' will be noted for License Exceptions that 
are not available within a particular entry. In some ``600 series'' 
ECCNs, the STA license exception paragraph or a note to the License 
Exceptions section contains additional information on the availability 
of License Exception STA for that ECCN. If one or more License 
Exceptions appear to apply to your transaction, you must consult part 
740 of the EAR to review the conditions and restrictions applicable to 
each available License Exception. The list of License Exceptions 
contained within each ECCN is not an all-exclusive list. Other License 
Exceptions, not based on particular ECCNs, may be available. Consult 
part 740 of the EAR to determine eligibility for non-ECCN-driven License 
Exceptions.
    (iv) List of Items Controlled--(A) Related definitions. This header 
identifies, where appropriate, definitions or parameters that apply to 
all items controlled by the entry. The information provided in this 
section is unique to the entry, and hence not listed in the definitions 
contained in part 772 of the EAR.
    (B) Related controls. If another U.S. government agency or 
department has export licensing authority over items related to those 
controlled by an entry, a statement is included identifying the agency 
or department along with the applicable regulatory cite. An additional 
cross-reference may be included in instances where the scope of controls 
differs between a CCL entry and its corresponding entry on list 
maintained by the European Union. This information is provided to assist 
readers who use both lists.
    (C) Items. This paragraph describes the relationship between the 
``items'' paragraph and ECCN headings and will assist your understanding 
as you classify items on the CCL. When the heading contains the phrase 
``see List of Items Controlled,'' the portion of the heading preceding 
that phrase is only a summary of the items controlled by the ECCN and 
the ``items'' paragraph contains an exclusive list of items described in 
the heading. Paragraphs (d)(2)(iv)(C)(1), (2) and (3) of this section 
provide examples of the three different uses of the phrase ``(see List 
of Items Controlled)'' in ECCN headings. Each heading on the CCL uses 
one of these three structures. Understanding the relationship between 
the heading and the ``items'' paragraph is important when classifying 
items that are ``subject to the EAR'' on the CCL.
    (1) ``(See List of Items Controlled)'' is at the end of the ECCN 
heading. An example of an ECCN where all of the heading text precedes 
the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' is ECCN 8A002 Marine 
systems, equipment, ``parts'' and ``components,'' as follows (see List 
of Items Controlled). ECCNs 1A001, 3A001, 6A001, 7A004 and 9A012 are 
other examples where all of the heading text precedes the phrase ``(see 
List of Items Controlled).'' In these types of headings, the items 
paragraphs must be reviewed to determine whether your item is contained 
within the heading and classified under that ECCN.
    (2) ``(See List of Items Controlled)'' is in the middle of the ECCN 
heading. If the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' appears in the 
middle of the ECCN heading, then all portions of the heading that follow 
the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' will list items controlled 
in addition to the list in the ``items'' paragraph. An example of such a 
heading is ECCN 2B992 Non-``numerically controlled'' machine

[[Page 272]]

tools for generating optical quality surfaces, (see List of Items 
Controlled) and ``specially designed'' ``parts'' and ``components'' 
therefor. Under the ECCN 2B992 example, the ``items'' paragraph must be 
reviewed to determine whether your item is contained within the first 
part of the heading (``non-'numerically controlled' machine tools for 
generating optical quality surfaces'') and classified under 2B992. The 
second part of the ECCN 2B992 heading (``and 'specially designed' 
'parts' and 'components' therefor'') contains the exclusive list 
described in the heading. ECCNs 1A006, 3B992, 4A001, 6A006 and 7A001 are 
other examples where the phrase ``(see List of Items Controlled)'' 
appears in the middle of the ECCN heading.
    (3) ECCNs that do not use the phrase ``(see List of Items 
controlled).'' When all items classified in the ECCN are listed in the 
heading, a sentence is generally included in the ``items'' paragraph to 
direct you to the heading. An example of such a heading is ECCN 4E980 
``Technology'' for the ``development,'' ``production'' or ``use'' of 
commodities controlled by 4A980. ECCNs 0A982, 5D101, 8D001 and 9A002 are 
other examples where the heading is the exclusive description of the 
items classified under those respective ECCNs.

Sec.738.3  Commerce Country Chart structure.

    (a) Scope. The Commerce Country Chart allows you to determine the 
Commerce Control List (CCL) export and reexport license requirements for 
most items listed on the CCL. Such license requirements are based on the 
Reasons for Control listed in the Export Control Classification Number 
(ECCN) that applies to the item. Some ECCNs, however, impose license 
requirements either without reference to a reason for control code that 
is listed on the Commerce Country Chart, or in addition to such a 
reference. Those ECCNs may state their license requirements in full in 
their ``Reasons for Control'' sections or they may refer the reader to 
another provision of the EAR for license requirement information. In 
addition, some ECCNs do not impose license requirements, but refer the 
reader to the regulations of another government agency that may impose 
license requirements on the items described in that ECCN.
    (1) ECCNs 0A983, 5A001.f.1, 5A980, 5D001 (for 5A001.f.1, or for 
5E001.a (for 5A001.f.1 or for 5D001.a (for 5A001.f.1))), 5D980, 5E001.a 
(for 5A001.f.1, or for 5D001.a (for 5A001.f.1)) and 5E980. A license is 
required for all destinations for items controlled under these entries. 
For items controlled by 0A983, 5E001.a (for 5A001.f.1, or for 5D001.a 
(for 5A001.f.1)) and 5E980, no license exceptions apply. For items 
controlled by 5A001.f.1, 5A980, 5D001 (for 5A001.f.1 or for 5E001.a (for 
5A001.f.1, or for 5D001.a (for 5A001.f.1))) and 5D980, License Exception 
GOV may apply if your item is consigned to and for the official use of 
an agency of the U.S. Government (see Sec.740.2(a)(3)). If your item 
is controlled by 0A983, 5A001.f.1, 5A980, 5D001 (for 5A001.f.1 or for 
5E001.a (for 5A001.f.1, or for 5D001.a (for 5A001.f.1))), 5D980, 5E001.a 
(for 5A001.f.1, or for 5D001.a (for 5A001.f.1)) or 5E980 you should 
proceed directly to part 748 of the EAR for license application 
instructions and Sec.742.11 or Sec.742.13 of the EAR for information 
on the licensing policy relevant to these types of applications.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (b) Countries. The first column of the Country Chart lists countries 
in alphabetical order. There are a number of destinations that are not 
listed in the Country Chart contained in supplement no. 1 to part 738. 
If your destination is not listed on the Country Chart and such 
destination is a territory, possession, dependency or department of a 
country included on the Country Chart, the EAR accords your destination 
the same licensing treatment as the country of which it is a territory, 
possession, dependency or department. For example, if your destination 
is the Cayman Islands, a dependent territory of the United Kingdom, 
refer to the United Kingdom on the Country Chart for licensing 
requirements. In addition,

[[Page 273]]

if your destination is Liechtenstein, which serves as one territory with 
Switzerland for purposes of the EAR, refer to Switzerland on the Country 
Chart for licensing requirements.
    (c) Columns. Stretching out to the right are horizontal headers 
identifying the various Reasons for Control. Under each Reason for 
Control header are diagonal column identifiers capping individual 
columns. Each column identifier consists of the two letter Reason for 
Control and a column number. (e.g., CB Column 1). The column identifiers 
correspond to those listed in the ``Country Chart'' header within the 
``License Requirements'' section of each ECCN.
    (d) Cells. The symbol ``X'' is used to denote licensing requirements 
on the Country Chart. If an ``X'' appears in a particular cell, 
transactions subject to that particular Reason for Control/Destination 
combination require a license. There is a direct correlation between the 
number of ``X''s applicable to your transaction and the number of 
licensing reviews your application will undergo.

Sec.738.4  Determining whether a license is required.

    (a) Using the CCL and the Country Chart--(1) Overview. Once you have 
determined that your item is classified under a specific ECCN, you must 
use information contained in the ``License Requirements'' section of 
that ECCN in combination with the Country Chart to decide whether a 
license is required. Note that not all license requirements set forth 
under the ``License Requirements'' section of an ECCN refer you to the 
Commerce Country Chart, but in some cases this section will contain 
references to a specific section in the EAR for license requirements. In 
such cases, this section would not apply.
    (2) License decision making process. The following decision making 
process must be followed in order to determine whether a license is 
required to export or reexport a particular item to a specific 
destination:
    (i) Examine the appropriate ECCN in the CCL. Is the item you intend 
to export or reexport controlled for a single Reason for Control?
    (A) If yes, identify the single Reason for Control and the relevant 
Country Chart column identifier (e.g., CB Column 1).
    (B) If no, identify the Country Chart column identifier for each 
applicable Reason for Control (e.g., NS Column 1, NP Column 1, etc.).
    (ii) Review the Country Chart. With each of the applicable Country 
Chart Column identifiers noted, turn to the Country Chart (supplement 
no. 1 to part 738). Locate the correct Country Chart column identifier 
on the diagonal headings, and determine whether an ``X'' is marked in 
the cell next to the country in question for each Country Chart column 
identified in the applicable ECCN. If your item is subject to more than 
one reason for control, repeat this step using each unique Country Chart 
column identifier.
    (A) If yes, a license application must be submitted based on the 
particular reason for control and destination, unless a License 
Exception applies. If ``Yes'' is noted next to any of the listed License 
Exceptions, you should consult part 740 of the EAR to determine whether 
you can use any of the available ECCN-drvien License Exceptions to 
effect your shipment, rather than applying for a license. Each 
affirmative license requirement must be overcome by a License Exception. 
If you are unable to qualify for a License Exception based on each 
license requirement noted on the Country Chart, you must apply for a 
license. Note that other License Exceptions, not related to the CCL, may 
also apply to your transaction (See part 740 of the EAR).
    (B) If no, a license is not required based on the particular Reason 
for Control and destination. Provided that General Prohibitions Four 
through Ten do not apply to your proposed transaction and the License 
Requirement section does not refer you to any other part of the EAR to 
determine license requirements. For example, any applicable encryption 
classification requirements described in Sec.740.17(b) of the

[[Page 274]]

EAR must be met for certain mass market encryption items to affect your 
shipment using the symbol ``NLR.'' Proceed to parts 758 and 762 of the 
EAR for information on export clearance procedures and recordkeeping 
requirements. Note that although you may stop after determining a 
license is required based on the first Reason for Control, it is best to 
work through each applicable Reason for Control. A full analysis of 
every possible licensing requirement based on each applicable Reason for 
Control is required to determine the most advantageous License Exception 
available for your particular transaction and, if a license is required, 
ascertain the scope of review conducted by BIS on your license 
application.
    (b) Sample analysis using the CCL and Country Chart--(1) Scope. The 
following sample entry and related analysis is provided to illustrate 
the type of thought process you must complete in order to determine 
whether a license is required to export or reexport a particular item to 
a specific destination using the CCL in combination with the Country 
Chart.
    (2) Sample CCL entry.

GBS: Yes.
CIV: N/A.
List of Items Controlled
Related Controls: N/A.
Related Definitions: N/A.
Items: a. Having x.
    b. Having z.

    (3) Sample analysis. After consulting the CCL, I determine my item, 
valued at $10,000, is classified under ECCN 2A000.a. I read that the 
entire entry is controlled for national security, and anti-terrorism 
reasons. Because my item is classified under paragraph .a, and not .b, I 
understand that though nuclear nonproliferation controls apply to a 
portion of the entry, they do not apply to my item. I note that the 
appropriate Country Chart column identifiers are NS Column 2 and AT 
Column 1. Turning to the Country Chart, I locate my specific 
destination, Chad, and see that an ``X'' appears in the NS Column 2 cell 
for Chad, but not in the AT Column 1 cell. I understand that a license 
is required, unless my transaction qualifies for a License Exception. 
From the License Exception LVS value listed in the entry, I know 
immediately that my proposed transaction exceeds the value limitation 
associated with LVS. Noting that License Exception GBS is ``Yes'' for 
this entry, I turn to part 740 of the EAR to review the provisions 
related to use of GBS.

Sec.740.1  Introduction.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C.
    (a) Scope. A ``License Exception'' is an authorization contained in 
this part that allows you to export or reexport under stated conditions, 
items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that would 
otherwise require a license under General Prohibition One, Two, Three, 
or Eight, as indicated under one or more of the Export Control 
Classification Numbers (ECCNs) in the Commerce Control List (CCL) in 
supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR and items subject to the EAR 
that would require a license based on the embargo policies described in 
part 746 of the EAR. If your export or reexport is subject to General 
Prohibition Six for embargoed destinations, refer to part 746 of the EAR 
to determine the availability of any License Exceptions. Special 
commodity controls apply to short supply items. License Exceptions for 
items listed on the CCL as controlled for Short Supply reasons are found 
in part 754 of the EAR. If your export or reexport is subject to General 
Prohibition Five, consult part 744 of the EAR. If your export or 
reexport is subject to General Prohibitions Four, Seven, Nine, or Ten, 
then no License Exceptions apply. Any license exception authorizing 
reexports also authorizes in-country transfers, provided the terms and 
conditions for reexports under that license exception are met.
    (b) Certification. By using any of the License Exceptions you are 
certifying that the terms, provisions, and conditions for the use of the 
License Exception described in the EAR have been met. Please refer to 
part 758 of the EAR for clearance of shipments and documenting the use 
of License Exceptions.
    (c) License Exception symbols. Each License Exception bears a three 
letter symbol that will be used for export clearance purposes (see 
paragraph (d) of this section).
    (d) Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing. You must enter on 
any required EEI filing the correct License Code that corresponds to the 
appropriate license exception symbol (e.g., LVS, GBS, CIV) and the 
correct Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) (e.g., 4A003, 5A002) 
for all exports of items under a license exception. Items temporarily in 
the United States meeting the provisions of License Exception TMP, under 
Sec.740.9(b)(3), are excepted from this requirement. See Sec.758.1 
of the

[[Page 281]]

EAR and 15 CFR part 30 of the FTR for EEI requirements.
    (e) Destination Control Statement. You may be required to enter an 
appropriate Destination Control Statement on commercial documents in 
accordance with Destination Control Statement requirements of Sec.
758.6 of the EAR.
    (f) Recordkeeping. Records of transactions involving exports under 
any of the License Exceptions must be maintained in accordance with the 
recordkeeping requirements of part 762 of the EAR.

    (b) All License Exceptions are subject to revision, suspension, or 
revocation, in whole or in part, without notice. It may be necessary for 
BIS to stop a shipment or an export transaction at any stage of its 
progress, e.g., in order to prevent an unauthorized export or reexport. 
If a shipment is already en route, it may be further necessary to order 
the return or unloading of the shipment at any port of call.
    (c) BIS may by informing the exporter, suspend or revoke any License 
Exception in order to comply with U.S. Wassenaar obligations. In 
addition, BIS may inform an exporter, that before using any License 
Exception, a notice be submitted with BIS concerning the proposed 
export.
    (d) See Sec.746.3 for restrictions on certain transfers within

Sec.740.3  Shipments of limited value (LVS).

    (a) Scope. License Exception LVS authorizes the export and reexport 
in a single shipment of eligible commodities as identified by ``LVS - 
$(value limit)'' on the CCL.
    (b) Eligible destinations. This License Exception is available for 
all destinations in Country Group B (see supplement no. 1 to part 740), 
provided that the net value of the commodities included in the same 
order and controlled under the same ECCN entry on the CCL does not 
exceed the amount specified in the LVS paragraph for that entry.
    (c) Definitions--(1) Order. The term order as used in this Sec.
740.3 means a communication from a person in a foreign country, or that 
person's representative, expressing an intent to import commodities from 
the exporter. Although all of the details of the order need not be 
finally determined at the time of export, terms relating to the kinds 
and quantities of the commodities to be exported, as well as the selling 
prices of these commodities, must be finalized before the goods can be 
exported under License Exception LVS.
    (2) Net value: for LVS shipments. The actual selling price of the 
commodities that are included in the same order and are controlled under 
the same entry on the CCL, less shipping charges, or the current market 
price of the commodities to the same type of purchaser in the United 
States, whichever is the larger. In determining the actual selling price 
or the current market price of the commodity, the value of containers in 
which the commodity is being exported may be excluded. The value for LVS 
purposes is that of the controlled commodity that is being exported, and 
may not be reduced by subtracting the value of any content that would 
not, if shipped separately, be subject to licensing. Where the total 
value of the containers and their contents must be shown on Shipper's 
Export Declarations under one Schedule B Number, the exporter, in 
effecting a shipment under this License Exception, must indicate the 
``net value'' of the contained commodity immediately below the 
description of the commodity.
    (3) Single shipment. All commodities moving at the same time from 
one exporter to one consignee or intermediate consignee on the same 
exporting carrier even though these commodities will be forwarded to one 
or more ultimate consignees. Commodities being transported in this 
manner will be treated as a single shipment even if the commodities 
represent more than one order or are in separate containers.
    (d) Additional eligibility requirements and restrictions--(1) 
Eligible orders. To be eligible for this License Exception, orders must 
meet the following criteria:
    (i) Orders must not exceed the applicable ``LVS'' dollar value 
limits. An order is eligible for shipment under LVS when the ``net 
value'' of the commodities controlled under the same entry on the CCL 
does not exceed the amount specified in the ``LVS'' paragraph for that 
entry. An LVS shipment may include more than one eligible order.
    (ii) Orders may not be split to meet the applicable LVS dollar 
limits. An order that exceeds the applicable LVS dollar value limit may 
not be misrepresented as two or more orders, or split among

[[Page 285]]

two or more shipments, to give the appearance of meeting the applicable 
LVS dollar value limit. However an order that meets all the LVS 
eligibility requirements, including the applicable LVS dollar value 
limit, may be split among two or more shipments.
    (iii) Orders must be legitimate. Exporters and consignees may not, 
either collectively or individually, structure or adjust orders to meet 
the applicable LVS dollar value limits.
    (2) Restriction on annual value of LVS orders. The total value of 
exports per calendar year to the same ultimate or intermediate consignee 
of commodities classified under a single ECCN may not exceed 12 times 
the LVS value limit for that ECCN; however, there is no restriction on 
the number of shipments provided that value is not exceeded. This annual 
value limit applies to shipments to the same ultimate consignee even 
though the shipments are made through more than one intermediate 
consignee. There is no restriction on the number of orders that may be 
included in a shipment, except that the annual value limit per ECCN must 
not be exceeded.
    (3) Orders where two or more LVS dollar value limits apply. An order 
may include commodities that are controlled under more than one entry on 
the CCL. In this case, the net value of the entire order may exceed the 
LVS dollar value for any single entry on the CCL. However, the net value 
of the commodities controlled under each ECCN entry shall not exceed the 
LVS dollar value limit specified for that entry.

    Example to paragraph (d)(3): An order includes commodities valued at 
$8,000. The order consists of commodities controlled under two ECCN 
entries, each having an LVS value limit of $5000. Commodities in the 
order controlled under one ECCN are valued at $3,500 while those 
controlled under the other ECCN are valued at $4,500. Since the net 
value of the commodities controlled under each entry falls within the 
LVS dollar value limits applicable to that entry, the order may be 
shipped under this License Exception.

    (4) Prohibition against evasion of license requirements. Any 
activity involving the use of this License Exception to evade license 
requirements is prohibited. Such devices include, but are not limited 
to, the splitting or structuring of orders to meet applicable LVS dollar 
value limits, as prohibited by paragraphs (d)(1) (ii) and (iii) of this 
section.
    (5) Exports and reexports of encryption components or spare parts. 
For components or spare parts controlled for ``EI'' reasons under ECCN 
5A002, exports and reexports under this License Exception must be 
destined to support a commodity previously authorized for export or 
reexport.
    (e) Reexports. Commodities may be reexported under this License 
Exception, provided that they could be exported from the United States 
to the new country of destination under LVS.
    (f) Reporting requirements. See Sec.743.1 of the EAR for reporting 
requirements for exports of certain commodities under License Exception 
LVS.

Sec.740.4  Shipments to Country Group B countries (GBS).

    License Exception GBS authorizes exports and reexports to Country 
Group B (see Supplement No. 1 to part 740), except Ukraine, of those 
commodities where the Commerce Country Chart (Supplement No. 1 to part 
738 of the EAR) indicates a license requirement to the ultimate 
destination for national security reasons only and identified by ``GBS--
Yes'' on the CCL. See Sec.743.1 of the EAR for reporting requirements 
for exports of certain commodities under License Exception GBS.

Sec.740.6  Technology and software under restriction (TSR).

    (a) Scope. License Exception TSR permits exports and reexports of 
technology and software where the Commerce Country Chart (Supplement No. 
1 to part 738 of the EAR) indicates a license requirement to the 
ultimate destination for national security reasons only and identified 
by ``TSR--Yes'' in entries on the CCL, provided the software or 
technology is destined to Country Group B, except Ukraine. (See 
Supplement No. 1 to part 740.) A written

[[Page 286]]

assurance is required from the consignee before exporting or reexporting 
under this License Exception.
    (1) Required assurance for export of technology. You may not export 
or reexport technology under this License Exception until you have 
received from the importer a written assurance that, without a BIS 
license or License Exception, the importer will not:
    (i) Reexport or release the technology to a national of a country in 
Country Groups D:1, E:1, or E:2; or
    (ii) Export to Country Groups D:1, E:1, or E:2 the direct product of 
the technology, if such foreign produced direct product is subject to 
national security controls as identified on the CCL (See General 
Prohibition Three, Sec.736.2(b)(3) of the EAR); or
    (iii) If the direct product of the technology is a complete plant or 
any major components of a plant, export to Country Groups D:1, E:1, or 
E:2 of the direct product of the plant or major components thereof, if 
such foreign produced direct product is subject to national security 
controls as identified on the CCL or is ``subject to the ITAR'' (see 22 
CFR parts 120 through 130).
    (2) Required assurance for export of software. You may not export or 
reexport software under this License Exception until you have received 
from the importer a written assurance that, without a BIS license or 
License Exception, the importer will neither:
    (i) Reexport or release the software or the source code for the 
software to a national of a country in Country Groups D:1, E:1, or E:2; 
nor
    (ii) Export to Country Groups D:1, E:1, or E:2 the direct product of 
the software, if such foreign produced direct product is subject to 
national security controls as identified on the CCL. (See General 
Prohibition Three, Sec.736.2(b)(3) of the EAR).
    (3) Form of written assurance. The required assurance may be made in 
the form of a letter or any other written communication from the 
importer, including communications via facsimile, or the assurance may 
be incorporated into a licensing agreement that specifically includes 
the assurances. An assurance included in a licensing agreement is 
acceptable only if the agreement specifies that the assurance will be 
honored even after the expiration date of the licensing agreement. If 
such a written assurance is not received, License Exception TSR is not 
applicable and a license is required. The license application must 
include a statement explaining why assurances could not be obtained.
    (4) Other License Exceptions. The requirements in this License 
Exception do not apply to the export of technology or software under 
other License Exceptions, or to the export of technology or software 
included in an application for the foreign filing of a patent, provided 
the filing is in accordance with the regulations of the U.S. Patent 
Office.
    (b) Reporting requirements. See Sec.743.1 of the EAR for reporting 
requirements for exports of certain items under License Exception TSR. 
Note that reports are not required for release of technology or source 
code subject to the EAR to foreign nationals in the U.S. under the 
provisions of License Exception TSR.

Sec.740.7  Computers (APP).

    (a) Scope--(1) Commodities. License Exception APP authorizes 
exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) of computers, including 
``electronic assemblies'' and specially designed components therefor 
controlled by ECCN 4A003 exported or reexported separately or as part of 
a system for consumption in Computer Tier countries as provided by this 
section. When evaluating your computer to determine License Exception 
APP eligibility, use the APP parameter to the exclusion of other 
technical parameters in ECCN 4A003.
    (2) Technology and software. License Exception APP authorizes 
exports of technology and software controlled by ECCNs 4D001 and 4E001 
specially designed or modified for the ``development,'' ``production,'' 
or ``use'' of computers, including ``electronic assemblies'' and 
specially designed components therefor classified in ECCN 4A003

[[Page 287]]

to Computer Tier countries as provided by this section.

    (3) Computers and software eligible for License Exception APP may 
not be reexported or transferred (in country) without prior 
authorization from BIS, i.e., a license, a permissive reexport, another 
License Exception, or ``No License Required''. This restriction must be 
conveyed to the consignee, via the Destination Control Statement, see 
Sec.758.6 of the EAR. Additionally, the end-use and end-user 
restrictions in paragraph (b)(5) of this section must be conveyed to any 
consignee in Computer Tier 3.
    (4) You may not use this License Exception to export or reexport 
items that you know will be used to enhance the APP beyond the 
eligibility limit allowed to your country of destination.

transfers (in-country) for nuclear, chemical, biological, or missile 
end-users and end-uses subject to license requirements under Sec. Sec.
744.2, 744.3, 744.4, and 744.5 of the EAR. Such exports, reexports and 
transfers (in-country) will continue to require a license and will be 
considered on a case-by-case basis. Reexports and transfers (in-country) 
to these end-users and end-uses in eligible countries are strictly 
prohibited without prior authorization.
    (6) Foreign nationals in an expired visa status are not eligible to 
receive deemed exports of technology or source code under this License

Sec.740.8  [Reserved]



Sec.740.9  Temporary imports, exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) (TMP).

    This License Exception authorizes various temporary exports and 
reexports; exports and reexports of items temporarily in the United 
States; and exports and reexports of beta test software.
    (a) Temporary exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country). 
License Exception TMP authorizes exports, reexports, and transfers (in-
country) of items for temporary use abroad (including use in or above 
international waters) subject to the conditions specified in this 
paragraph (a). No item may be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-
country) under this paragraph (a) if an order to acquire the item, such 
as a purchase order, has been received before shipment; with prior 
knowledge that the item will stay abroad beyond the terms of this 
License Exception; or when the item is for subsequent lease or rental 
abroad. The references to various countries and country groups in these 
TMP-specific provisions do not limit or amend the prohibitions in

[[Page 289]]

Sec.740.2 of the EAR on the use of license exceptions generally, such 
as for exports of 9x515 or ``600 series'' items to destinations in 
Country Group D:5. This paragraph (a) does not authorize any export of a 
commodity controlled under ECCNs 0A501.a or .b, or shotguns with a 
barrel length less than 18 inches controlled under ECCN 0A502 to, or any 
export of such an item that was imported into the United States from, a 
country in Country Group D:5 (supplement no. 1 to this part), or from 
Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, 
or Uzbekistan. The only provisions of this paragraph (a) that are 
eligible for use to export such items are paragraph (a)(5) of this 
section (``Exhibition and demonstration'') and paragraph (a)(6) of this 
section (``Inspection, test, calibration, and repair''). In addition, 
this paragraph (a) may not be used to export more than 75 firearms per 
shipment. In accordance with the requirements in Sec.758.1(b)(9) and 
(g)(4) of the EAR, the exporter or its agent must provide documentation 
that includes the serial number, make, model, and caliber of each 
firearm being exported by filing these data elements in an EEI filing in 
AES. In accordance with the exclusions in License Exception TMP under 
paragraph (b)(5) of this section, the entry clearance requirements in 
Sec.758.1(b)(9) do not permit the temporary import of: Firearms 
controlled in ECCN 0A501.a or .b that are shipped from or manufactured 
in a Country Group D:5 country, or that are shipped from or manufactured 
in Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, 
Ukraine, or Uzbekistan (except for any firearm model designation (if 
assigned) controlled by 0A501 that is specified under annex A in 
supplement no. 4 to this part); or shotguns with a barrel length less 
than 18 inches controlled in ECCN 0A502 that are shipped from or 
manufactured in a Country Group D:5 country, or from Russia, Georgia, 
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, or Uzbekistan, 
because of the exclusions in License Exception TMP under paragraph 
(b)(5) of this section.
    (1) Tools of trade. Exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of 
commodities and software as tools of trade for use by the exporter or 
employees of the exporter may be made only to destinations other than 
Country Group E:1. The tools of trade must remain under the ``effective 
control'' of the exporter or the exporter's employee. Eligible items are 
usual and reasonable kinds and quantities of tools of trade for use in a 
lawful enterprise or undertaking of the exporter. Tools of trade 
include, but are not limited to, commodities and software as is 
necessary to commission or service items, provided that the commodity or 
software is appropriate for this purpose and that all items to be 
commissioned or serviced are of foreign origin, or if subject to the 
EAR, have been lawfully exported, reexported, or transferred. Tools of 
trade may accompany the individual departing from the United States or 
may be shipped unaccompanied within one month before the individual's 
departure from the United States, or at any time after departure. 
Software used as a tool of trade must be protected against unauthorized 
access. Examples of security precautions to help prevent unauthorized 
access include the following:
    (i) Use of secure connections, such as Virtual Private Network 
connections, when accessing IT networks for activities that involve the 
transmission and use of the software authorized under this license 
exception;
    (ii) Use of password systems on electronic devices that store the 
software authorized under this license exception; and
    (iii) Use of personal firewalls on electronic devices that store the 
software authorized under this license exception.
    (2) Sudan. Notwithstanding the exclusion of destinations in Country 
Group E:1 in paragraphs (a)(1) and (3) of this section, items listed in 
Sec.740.19(b) of the EAR may be exported or reexported as tools of 
trade to Sudan. All other requirements and limitations of this paragraph 
(a) apply to such exports and reexports.
    (3) ``Technology,'' regardless of media or format, may be exported, 
reexported, or transferred (in-country) by or to a U.S. person, or a 
foreign person employee of a U.S. person traveling or

[[Page 290]]

on temporary assignment abroad, subject to the following restrictions:
    (i) Foreign persons may only export, reexport, transfer (in country) 
or receive such ``technology'' as they are authorized to receive through 
a license, license exception other than TMP or because no license is 
required.
    (ii) ``Technology'' exported, reexported, or transferred under this 
authorization may only be possessed or used by a U.S. person or 
authorized foreign person. Sufficient security precautions must be taken 
to prevent the unauthorized release of the ``technology.'' Such security 
precautions may include encryption of the ``technology,'' the use of 
secure network connections, such as Virtual Private Networks, the use of 
passwords or other access restrictions on the electronic device or media 
on which the ``technology'' is stored, and the use of firewalls and 
other network security measures to prevent unauthorized access.
    (iii) The individual is an employee of the U.S. Government or is 
directly employed by a U.S. person and not, e.g., by a foreign 
subsidiary.
    (iv) ``Technology'' authorized under this exception may not be used 
for foreign production purposes or for technical assistance unless 
authorized through a license or license exception other than TMP.
    (4) Kits consisting of replacement parts or components. Kits 
consisting of replacement parts or components may be exported, 
reexported, or transferred (in-country) to all destinations except 
Country Group E:1 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR), 
provided that:
    (i) The parts and components would qualify for shipment under 
paragraph (a)(4)(iii) of this section if exported as one-for-one 
replacements;
    (ii) The kits remain under effective control of the exporter or an 
employee of the exporter; and
    (iii) All parts and components in the kit are returned, except that 
one-for-one replacements may be made in accordance with the requirements 
of License Exception RPL and the defective parts and components returned 
(see Parts, Components, Accessories and Attachments in Sec.740.10(a) 
of this part).
    (5) Exhibition and demonstration. This paragraph (a)(5) authorizes 
exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of commodities and 
software for exhibition or demonstration in all destinations except 
Country Group E:1 (see supplement no. 1 to this part) provided that the 
exporter maintains ownership of the commodities and software while they 
are abroad and provided that the exporter, an employee of the exporter, 
or the exporter's designated sales representative retains ``effective 
control'' over the commodities and software while they are abroad. The 
commodities and software may not be used when abroad for more than the 
minimum extent required for effective demonstration. The commodities and 
software may not be exhibited or demonstrated at any one site for longer 
than 120 days after installation and debugging, unless authorized by 
BIS. However, before or after an exhibition or demonstration, pending 
movement to another site, return to the United States or the foreign 
reexporter, or BIS approval for other disposition, the commodities and 
software may be placed in a bonded warehouse or a storage facility 
provided that the exporter retains ``effective control'' over their 
disposition. The export documentation for this type of transaction must 
show the exporter as ultimate consignee, in care of the person who will 
have control over the commodities and software abroad.
    (6) Inspection, test, calibration, and repair. Commodities to be 
inspected, tested, calibrated, or repaired abroad may be exported, 
reexported, and transferred (in-country) under this paragraph (a)(6) to 
all destinations except Country Group E:1.
    (7) Containers. Containers for which another license exception is 
not available and that are necessary for shipment of commodities may be 
exported, reexported, and transferred (in-country) under this paragraph 
(a)(7). However, this paragraph does not authorize the export of the 
container's contents, which, if not exempt from licensing, must be 
separately authorized for export under either a license exception or a 
license.

    (8) Assembly in Mexico. Commodities may be exported to Mexico under 
Customs entries that require return to the United States after 
processing, assembly, or incorporation into end products by companies, 
factories, or facilities participating in Mexico's in-bond 
industrialization program (IMMEX) under this paragraph (a)(8), provided 
that all resulting end-products (or the commodities themselves) are 
returned to the United States as soon as practicable but no later than 
four years after the date of export or reexport.
    (9) News media. (i) Commodities necessary for news-gathering 
purposes (and software necessary to use such commodities) may be 
temporarily exported or reexported for accredited news media personnel 
(i.e., persons with credentials from a news-gathering or reporting firm) 
to Cuba, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria (see supplement no. 1 to part 740) 
if the commodities:
    (A) Are retained under ``effective control'' of the exporting news-
gathering firm in the country of destination;
    (B) Remain in the physical possession of the news media personnel in 
the country of destination. The term physical possession for purposes of 
this paragraph (a)(9) means maintaining effective measures to prevent 
unauthorized access (e.g., securing equipment in locked facilities or 
hiring security guards to protect the equipment); and
    (C) Are removed with the news media personnel at the end of the 
trip.
    (ii) When exporting under this paragraph (a)(9) from the United 
States, the exporter must email a copy of the packing list or similar 
identification of the exported commodities, to 
[email protected] specifying the destination and estimated 
dates of departure and return. The Office of Export Enforcement (OEE) 
may check returns to assure that the provisions of this paragraph (a)(9) 
are being used properly.
    (iii) Commodities or software necessary for news-gathering purposes 
that accompany news media personnel to all other destinations shall be 
exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) under paragraph 
(a)(1), tools of trade, of this section if owned by the news gathering 
firm, or if they are personal property of the individual news media 
personnel. Note that paragraphs (a)(1), tools of trade, and (a)(9), news 
media, of this section do not preclude independent accredited contract 
personnel, who are under control of news-gathering firms while on 
assignment, from using these provisions, provided that the news 
gathering firm designates an employee of the contract firm to be 
responsible for the equipment.
    (10) Temporary exports to a U.S. person's foreign subsidiary, 
affiliate, or facility abroad. Components, parts, tools, accessories, or 
test equipment exported by a U.S. person to a subsidiary, affiliate, or 
facility owned or controlled by the U.S. person, if the components, 
parts, tools, accessories, or test equipment are to be used to 
manufacture, assemble, test, produce, or modify items, provided that 
such components, parts, tools, accessories or test equipment are not 
transferred (in-country) or reexported from such subsidiary, affiliate, 
or facility, alone or incorporated into another item, without prior 
authorization by BIS.
    (11) Personal protective ``equipment'' classified under ECCN 1A613.c 
or .d and individual protection ``equipment'' classified under ECCN 
1A607.f--(i) Temporary exports, reexports, or in-country transfers to

temporarily export or reexport one set of body armor classified under 
ECCN 1A613.d (which may include one helmet classified under ECCN 
1A613.c) or one set of chemical or biological agent protective gear 
classified under ECCN 1A607.f (which may include one additional filter 
canister classified under ECCN 1A607.x) to countries not identified in 
Country Group D:5, provided that:
    (A) The items are with the U.S. person's baggage or effects, whether 
accompanied or unaccompanied (but not mailed); and
    (B) The items are for that U.S. person's exclusive use and not for 
transfer of ownership unless reexported or transferred (in-country) to 
another U.S. person.
    (ii) Temporary exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) to 
countries identified in Country Group D:5--(A) Iraq. U.S.

[[Page 292]]

persons may temporarily export or reexport one set of body armor 
classified under ECCN 1A613.d (which may include one helmet classified 
under ECCN 1A613.c) or one set of chemical or biological agent 
protective gear classified under ECCN 1A607.f (which may include one 
additional filter canister classified under ECCN 1A607.x) to Iraq, for 
personal use, provided that the requirements in paragraph (a)(11)(i) of 
this section are met. In addition, the U.S. person must be affiliated 
with the U.S. Government and traveling on official business or traveling 
in support of a U.S. Government contract, or the U.S. person must be 
traveling to Iraq under a direct authorization by the Government of Iraq 
and engaging in activities for, on behalf of, or at the request of, the 
Government of Iraq. Documentation regarding direct authorization from 
the Government of Iraq shall include an English translation.
    (B) Other countries in Country Group D:5. U.S. persons may 
temporarily export or reexport one set of body armor classified under 
ECCN 1A613.d (which may include one helmet classified under ECCN 
1A613.c) or one set of chemical or biological agent protective gear 
classified under ECCN 1A607.f (which may include one additional filter 
canister classified under ECCN 1A607.x) to countries in Country Group 
D:5 (except Iraq), for personal use, provided that the requirements in 
paragraph (a)(11)(i) of this section are met, and the U.S. person is 
affiliated with the U.S. Government traveling on official business or is 
traveling in support of a U.S. Government contract.
    (iii) Items exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) under 
this paragraph (a)(11), if not consumed or destroyed in the normal 
course of authorized temporary use abroad, must be returned to the 
United States or other country from which the items were so transferred 
as soon as practicable but no later than four years after the date of 
export, reexport or transfer (in-country).
    (12) U.S. persons. For purposes of this Sec.740.9, a U.S. person 
is defined as follows: an individual who is a citizen of the United 
States, an individual who is a lawful permanent resident as defined by 8 
U.S.C. 1101(a)(2) or an individual who is a protected individual as 
defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3). U.S. person also means any juridical 
person organized under the laws of the United States, or any 
jurisdiction within the United States (e.g., corporation, business 
association, partnership, society, trust, or any other entity, 
organization or group that is authorized to do business in the United 
States).
    (13) Destinations. Destination restrictions apply to temporary 
exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) to and for use on any 
vessel, aircraft or territory under ownership, control, lease, or 
charter by any country specified in any authorizing paragraph of this 
section, or any national thereof.
    (14) Return or disposal of items. With the exception of items 
described in paragraphs (a)(8) and (11) of this section, all items 
exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) under this section 
must, if not consumed or destroyed in the normal course of authorized 
temporary use abroad, be returned to the United States or other country 
from which the items were so transferred as soon as practicable but no 
later than one year after the date of export, reexport, or transfer (in-
country). Items not returned shall be disposed of or retained in one of 
the following ways:
    (i) Permanent export, reexport, or transfer (in-country). An 
exporter or reexporter who wants to sell or otherwise dispose of the 
items abroad, except as permitted by this or other applicable provision 
of the EAR, must apply for a license in accordance with Sec. Sec.
748.1, 748.4 and 748.6 of the EAR. (Part 748 of the EAR contains more 
information about license applications.) The application must be 
supported by any documents that would be required in support of an 
application for export license for shipment of the same items directly 
from the United States to the proposed destination.
    (ii) Use of a license. An outstanding license may also be used to 
dispose of items covered by the provisions of this paragraph (a), 
provided that the outstanding license authorizes direct shipment of the 
same items to the same new ultimate consignee or end-user.

[[Page 293]]

    (iii) Authorization to retain item abroad beyond one year. An 
exporter, reexporter or transferor who wants to retain an item at the 
temporary location beyond one year must apply for a license in 
accordance with Sec. Sec.748.1, 748.4 and 748.6 of the EAR to BIS at 
least 90 days prior to the expiration of the one-year period. The 
application must include the name and address of the exporter, the date 
the items were exported, a brief product description, and the 
justification for the extension. If BIS approves the extension, the 
applicant will receive authorization for an extension not to exceed four 
years from the date of initial export, reexport, or transfer. Any 
request for retaining the items abroad for a period exceeding four years 
must be made in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (a)(14)(i) 
of this section.
    (b) Exports of items temporarily in the United States--(1) Items 
moving in transit through the United States. Subject to the following 
conditions, the provisions of this paragraph (b)(1) authorize export of 
items moving in transit through the United States under a Transportation 
and Exportation (T.&E.) customs entry or an Immediate Exportation (I.E.) 
customs entry made at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office. No 
provision of paragraph (b) of this section, other than paragraph (b)(3), 
(4), or (5), may be used to export firearms controlled by ECCN 0A501.a, 
.b, or shotguns with a barrel length less than 18 inches controlled in 
ECCN 0A502.
    (i) Items controlled for national security (NS) reasons, nuclear 
proliferation (NP) reasons, or chemical and biological weapons (CB) 
reasons may not be exported to Country Group D:1, D:2, or D:3 (see 
supplement no. 1 to part 740), respectively, under this paragraph 
(b)(1).
    (ii) Items may not be exported to Country Group E:1 under this

Import Certificate, Form BIS-645P;
    (B) Chemicals controlled under ECCN 1C350; or
    (C) Horses for export by sea (refer to short supply controls in part 
754 of the EAR).
    (iv) The authorization to export in paragraph (b)(1) shall apply to 
all shipments from Canada moving in transit through the United States to 
any foreign destination, regardless of the nature of the commodities or 
software or their origin, notwithstanding any other provision of this 
paragraph (b)(1).
    (2) Items imported for marketing, or for display at U.S. exhibitions 
or trade fairs. Subject to the following conditions, the provisions of 
this paragraph (b)(2) authorize the export of items that were imported 
into the United States for marketing, or for display at an exhibition or 
trade fair and were either entered under bond or permitted temporary 
free import under bond providing for their export and are being exported 
in accordance with the terms of that bond.
    (i) Items may be exported to the country from which imported into 
the United States. However, items originally imported from Cuba may not 
be exported unless the U.S. Government had licensed the import from that 
country.
    (ii) Items may be exported to any destination other than the country 
from which imported except:
    (A) Items imported into the United States under an International 
Import Certificate;
    (B) Exports to Country Group E:1 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740); 
or
    (C) Exports to Country Group D:1, D:2, or D:3 (see supplement no. 1 
to part 740) of items controlled for national security (NS) reasons, 
nuclear nonproliferation (NP) reasons, or chemical and biological 
weapons (CB) reasons, respectively.
    (3) Return of foreign-origin items. A foreign-origin item may be 
returned under this license exception to the country from which it was 
imported if its characteristics and capabilities have not been enhanced 
while in the United States, except that no foreign-origin items may be 
returned to Cuba.
    (4) Return of shipments refused entry. Shipments of items refused 
entry by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Food and Drug 
Administration, or other U.S. Government agency

[[Page 294]]

may be returned to the country of origin, except to:
    (i) A destination in Cuba; or
    (ii) A destination from which the shipment has been refused entry 
because of the Foreign Assets Control Regulations of the Treasury 
Department, unless such return is licensed or otherwise authorized by 
the Treasury Department, Office of Foreign Assets Control (31 CFR parts 
500-599).
    (5) Exports of firearms and certain shotguns temporarily in the 
United States. This paragraph (b)(5) authorizes the export of no more 
than 75 end item firearms per shipment controlled by ECCN 0A501.a or .b, 
or shotguns with a barrel length less than 18 inches controlled in ECCN 
0A502 that are temporarily in the United States for a period not 
exceeding one year, provided that:
    (i) The firearms were not shipped from or manufactured in a U.S. 
arms embargoed country, i.e., destination listed in Country Group D:5 in 
supplement no. 1 to this part;
    (ii) The firearms were not shipped from or manufactured in Russia, 
Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, or 
Uzbekistan, except for any firearm model controlled by 0A501 that is 
specified under annex A in supplement no. 4 to this part; and
    (iii) The firearms are not ultimately destined to a U.S. arms 
embargoed country, i.e., destination listed in Country Group D:5 in 
supplement no. 1 to this part, or to Russia;
    (iv) When the firearms entered the U.S. as a temporary import, the 
temporary importer or its agent:
    (A) Provided the following statement to U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection: ``This shipment will be exported in accordance with and 
under the authority of License Exception TMP (15 CFR 740.9(b)(5))'';
    (B) Provided to U.S. Customs and Border Protection an invoice or 
other appropriate import-related documentation (or electronic 
equivalents) that includes a complete list and description of the 
firearms being temporarily imported, including their model, make, 
caliber, serial numbers, quantity, and U.S. dollar value; and
    (C) Provided (if temporarily imported for a trade show, exhibition, 
demonstration, or testing) to U.S. Customs and Border Protection the 
relevant invitation or registration documentation for the event and an 
accompanying letter that details the arrangements to maintain effective 
control of the firearms while they are in the United States; and
    (v) In addition to the export clearance requirements of part 758 of 
the EAR, the exporter or its agent must provide the import documentation 
related to paragraph (b)(5)(iv)(B) of this section to U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection at the time of export.

    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(5): In addition to complying with all 
applicable EAR requirements for the export of commodities described in 
paragraph (b)(5) of this section, exporters and temporary importers 
should contact U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the port of 
temporary import or export, or at the CBP website, for the proper 
procedures for temporarily importing or exporting firearms controlled in 
ECCN 0A501.a or .b or shotguns with a barrel length less than 18 inches 
controlled in ECCN 0A502, including regarding how to provide any data or 
documentation required by BIS.

    Note 2 to paragraph (b): A commodity withdrawn from a bonded 
warehouse in the United States under a `withdrawal for export' customs 
entry is considered as `moving in transit'. It is not considered as 
`moving in transit' if it is withdrawn from a bonded warehouse under any 
other type of customs entry or if its transit has been broken for a 
processing operation, regardless of the type of customs entry.
    Note 3 to paragraph (b): Items shipped on board a vessel or aircraft 
and passing through the United States from one foreign country to 
another may be exported without a license provided that (a) while 
passing in transit through the United States, they have not been unladen 
from the vessel or aircraft on which they entered, and (b) they are not 
originally manifested to the United States.
    Note 4 to paragraph (b): A shipment originating in Canada or Mexico 
that incidentally transits the United States en route to a delivery 
point in the same country does not require a license.

    (c) Exports of beta test software--(1) Scope. The provisions of this 
paragraph (c) authorize exports and reexports to eligible countries of 
beta test software intended for distribution to the general public.
    (2) Eligible countries. Encryption software controlled under ECCN 
5D002 is not eligible for export or reexport to a

[[Page 295]]

country in Country Group E:1 under the provisions of this paragraph (c). 
All other beta test software is eligible for export or reexport to all 
destinations, except Cuba, Iran, and Sudan under the provisions of this 
paragraph (c).
    (3) Eligible software. All software that is controlled by the 
Commerce Control List (supplement no.1 to part 774 of the EAR), and 
under Commerce licensing jurisdiction, is eligible for export and 
reexport, subject to the restrictions of this paragraph (c). Encryption 
software controlled for ``EI'' reasons under ECCN 5D002 is eligible for 
export and reexport under this paragraph (c), provided that the exporter 
has submitted the information described in paragraph (c)(8) of this 
section by the time of export. Final encryption products produced by the 
testing consignee are subject to any applicable provisions in Sec.
742.15(b) of the EAR (for mass market encryption commodities and 
software with symmetric key length exceeding 64-bits) or Sec.740.17 of 
the EAR (License Exception ENC), including review and reporting 
requirements.
    (4) Conditions for use. Exports or reexports of beta test software 
programs under the provisions of this paragraph (c) must meet all of the 
following conditions:
    (i) The software producer intends to market the software to the 
general public after completion of the beta testing, as described in the 
General Software Note (see supplement no. 2 to part 774 of the EAR) or 
the Cryptography Note in Category 5, Part 2 (``Information Security'') 
of the Commerce Control List (see supplement no.1 to part 774 of the 
EAR);
    (ii) The software producer provides the software to the testing 
consignee free-of-charge or at a price that does not exceed the cost of 
reproduction and distribution; and
    (iii) The software is designed for installation by the end-user 
without further substantial support from the supplier.
    (5) Importer Statement. Prior to exporting or reexporting any 
eligible software under this paragraph (c), the exporter or reexporter 
must obtain the following statement from the testing consignee, which 
may be included in a contract, non-disclosure agreement, or other 
document that identifies the importer, the software to be exported, the 
country of destination, and the testing consignee.

    ``We certify that this beta test software will only be used for beta 
testing purposes, and will not be rented, leased, sold, sublicensed, 
assigned, or otherwise transferred. Further, we certify that we will not 
transfer or export any product, process, or service that is the direct 
product of the beta test software.''

    (6) Use limitations. Only testing consignees that provide the 
importer statement required by paragraph (c)(5) of this section may 
execute any beta test software that was exported or reexported to them 
under the provisions of this paragraph (c).
    (7) Return or disposal of software. All beta test software exported 
must be destroyed abroad or returned to the exporter within 30 days of 
the end of the beta test period as defined by the software producer or, 
if the software producer does not define a test period, within 30 days 
of completion of the consignee's role in the test. Among other methods, 
this requirement may be satisfied by a software module that will destroy 
the software and all its copies at or before the end of the beta test 
period.
    (8) Notification of beta test encryption software. For beta test 
encryption software eligible under this license exception you must, by 
the time of export or reexport, submit the information described in 
paragraphs (a) through (d) of supplement no. 6 to part 742 of the EAR by 
e-mail to BIS at [email protected] and to the ENC Encryption Request 
Coordinator at [email protected].

Sec.740.10  License Exception Servicing and replacement of parts
and equipment (RPL).

    License Exception RPL authorizes exports and reexports associated 
with one-for-one replacement of parts, components, accessories, and 
attachments. License Exception RPL also authorizes

[[Page 296]]

exports and reexports of certain items currently ``subject to the EAR'' 
to or for, or to replace, a defense article described in an export or 
reexport authorization issued under the authority of the Arms Export 
Control Act. It does not, however, authorize the export or reexport of 
defense articles subject to the ITAR, i.e., described on the United 
States Munitions List (22 CFR 121.1).
    (a) Parts, components, accessories, and attachments--(1) Scope. The 
provisions of this paragraph (a) authorize the export and reexport of 
one-for-one replacement parts, components, accessories, and attachments 
for previously exported equipment or other end items.
    (2) One-for-one replacement of parts, components, accessories, or 
attachments. (i) The terms replacement parts, components, accessories, 
or attachments as used in this section mean parts, components, 
accessories, or attachments needed for the immediate repair of equipment 
or other end items, including replacement of defective or worn parts or 
components. (These terms include `subassemblies,' but do not include 
test instruments or operating supplies. The term `subassembly' means a 
number of parts or components assembled to perform a specific function 
or functions within a commodity. One example would be printed circuit 
boards with components mounted thereon. This definition does not include 
major subsystems such as those composed of a number of `subassemblies.') 
Items that improve or change the basic design characteristics, e.g., as 
to accuracy, capability, performance or productivity, of the equipment 
or other end item upon which they are installed, are not deemed to be 
replacement parts, components, accessories, or attachments. For kits 
consisting of replacement parts or components, consult Sec.740.9(a)(4) 
of this part.
    (ii) Parts, components, accessories, and attachments may be exported 
only to replace, on a one-for-one basis, parts, components, accessories, 
or attachments, respectively, contained in commodities that were: 
Lawfully exported from the United States; lawfully reexported; or made 
in a foreign country incorporating authorized parts, components, 
accessories, or attachments ``subject to the EAR'' (see Sec.734.2(a) 
of the EAR). ``600 series'' parts, components, accessories and 
attachments may be exported only to replace, on a one-for-one basis, 
parts, components, accessories, or attachments that were: lawfully 
exported from the United States, or lawfully reexported. The conditions 
of the original U.S. authorization must not have been violated. 
Accordingly, the export of replacement parts, components, accessories, 
and attachments may be made only by the party who originally exported or 
reexported the commodity to be repaired, or by a party that has 
confirmed the existence of appropriate authority for the original 
transaction.
    (iii) The parts, components, accessories, or attachments to be 
replaced must either be destroyed abroad or returned promptly to the 
person who supplied the replacements, or to a foreign firm that is under 
the effective control of that person.
    (3) Exclusions to License Exception RPL. (i) No replacement parts, 
components, accessories, or attachments may be exported to repair a 
commodity exported under a license or other authorization if that 
license or other authorization included a condition that any subsequent 
replacements may be exported only under a license.
    (ii) No parts, components, accessories, or attachments may be 
exported to be held abroad as spares for future use. Replacements may be 
exported to replace spares that were authorized to accompany the export 
of equipment or other end items as those spares are used in the repair 
of the equipment or other end item. This allows maintenance of the stock 
of spares at a consistent level as the parts, components, accessories, 
or attachments are used.
    (iii) No parts, components, accessories, or attachments may be 
exported to any destination, except the countries listed in supplement 
no. 3 to part 744 of the EAR (Countries Not Subject to Certain Nuclear 
End Use Restrictions in Sec.744.2(a)), if the item is to be 
incorporated into or used in nuclear weapons, nuclear explosive devices, 
nuclear testing related to activities described in Sec.744.2(a) of the 
EAR, the chemical processing of irradiated special nuclear or source 
material, the

[[Page 297]]

production of heavy water, the separation of isotopes of source and 
special nuclear materials, or the fabrication of nuclear reactor fuel 
containing plutonium, as described in Sec.744.2(a) of the EAR.
    (iv) No replacement parts, components, accessories, or attachments 
may be exported to countries in Country Group E:1 (see supplement no. 1 
to this part) (countries designated by the Secretary of State as 
supporting acts of international terrorism) if the commodity to be 
repaired is an ``aircraft'' (as defined in Sec.772.1 of the EAR) or is 
controlled for national security (NS) reasons.
    (v) No replacement parts, components, accessories, or attachments 
may be exported to countries in Country Group E:1 (see supplement no. 1 
to this part) if the commodity to be repaired is explosives detection 
equipment classified under ECCN 2A983 or related software classified 
under ECCN 2D983.
    (vi) No replacement parts, components, accessories, or attachments 
may be exported to countries in Country Group E:1 (see supplement no. 1 
to this part) if the commodity to be repaired is concealed object 
detection equipment classified under ECCN 2A984 or related software 
classified under ECCN 2D984.
    (vii) The conditions described in this paragraph (a)(3) relating to 
replacement of parts, components, accessories, or attachments do not 
apply to reexports to a foreign country of parts, components 
accessories, or attachments as replacements in foreign-origin products, 
if at the time the replacements are furnished, the foreign-origin 
product is eligible for export to such country under any of the license 
exceptions in this part or the exceptions in Sec.734.4 of the EAR (De 
minimis U.S. content).
    (viii) ``Parts,'' ``components,'' ``accessories,'' and 
``attachments'' classified in 9x515 or ``600 series'' ECCNs may not be 
exported or reexported to a destination listed in Country Group D:5 (see 
supplement no. 1 to this part).
    (4) Reexports. (i) Parts, components, accessories, and attachments 
exported from the United States may be reexported to a new country of 
destination, provided that the conditions established in paragraphs 
(a)(2) and (3) of this section are met. A party reexporting one-for-one 
replacement parts, components, accessories, or attachments ``subject to 
the EAR'' shall ensure that the commodities being repaired were shipped 
to their present location in accordance with U.S. law and continue to be 
lawfully used, and that either before or promptly after reexport of the 
replacement parts, components, accessories, or attachments, the replaced 
commodities and software are either destroyed or returned to the United 
States, or to the foreign firm in Country Group B (see supplement no. 1 
to this part) that shipped the replacement parts.
    (ii) The conditions described in paragraph (a)(3) relating to 
replacement of ``parts,'' ``components,'' ``accessories,'' or 
``attachments'' (excluding 9x515 and ``600 series'' ECCNs) do not apply 
to reexports to a foreign country of ``parts,'' ``components,'' 
``accessories,'' or ``attachments'' as replacements in foreign-origin 
products, if at the time the replacements are furnished, the foreign-
origin product is eligible for export to such country under any of the 
License Exceptions in this part or the foreign-origin product is not 
subject to the EAR pursuant to Sec.734.4.
    (b) Servicing and replacement--(1) The provisions of this paragraph 
(b) authorize the export and reexport to any destination, except for 
9x515 or ``600 series'' items to destinations identified in Country 
Group D:5 (see supplement no. 1 to this part) or otherwise prohibited 
under the EAR, of commodities and software that were sent to the United 
States or to a foreign party for servicing and replacement of 
commodities and software ``subject to the EAR'' (see Sec.734.2(a) of 
the EAR) that are defective or that an end user or ultimate consignee 
has found unacceptable. The export of firearms controlled by ECCN 
0A501.a or .b, or shotguns with a barrel length less than 18 inches 
controlled in ECCN 0A502 temporarily in the United States for servicing 
and replacement may be exported under paragraph (b)(2) or (3) of this 
section only if the additional requirements in paragraph (b)(4) of this 
section are also met.

[[Page 298]]

    (2) Commodities and software sent to a United States or foreign 
party for servicing.
    (i) Definition. ``Servicing'' as used in this section means 
inspection, testing, calibration or repair, including overhaul and 
reconditioning. The servicing shall not have improved or changed the 
basic characteristics (e.g., the accuracy, capability, performance, or 
productivity) of the commodity or software as originally authorized for 
export or reexport.
    (ii) Return of serviced commodities and software. When the serviced 
commodity or software is returned, it may include any replacement or 
rebuilt parts, components, accessories, or attachments necessary to its 
repair and may be accompanied by any spare parts, components, tools, 
accessories, attachments or other items sent with it for servicing.
    (iii) Commodities and software imported from Country Group D:1 
except the People's Republic of China (PRC). Commodities and software 
legally exported or reexported to a consignee in Country Group D:1 
(except the People's Republic of China (PRC)) (see supplement no. 1 to 
this part) that are sent to the United States or a foreign party for 
servicing may be returned to the country from which it was sent, 
provided that both of the following conditions are met:
    (A) The exporter making the shipment is the same person or firm to 
whom the original license was issued; and
    (B) The end use and the end user of the serviced commodities or 
software and other particulars of the transaction, as set forth in the 
application and supporting documentation that formed the basis for 
issuance of the license have not changed.
    (iv) Terrorist supporting countries. No repaired commodity or 
software may be exported or reexported to countries in Country Group E:1 
(see supplement no. 1 to this part).
    (3) Replacements for defective or unacceptable equipment ``subject 
to the EAR.''
    (i) Subject to the following conditions, commodities or software may 
be exported or reexported to replace defective or otherwise unusable

734.2(a) of the EAR).
    (B) The commodity or software to be replaced must have been 
previously exported or reexported in its present form under a license or 
authorization granted by BIS or an authorization, e.g., a license or 
exemption, issued under the authority of the Arms Export Control Act.
    (C) No commodity or software may be exported or reexported to 
replace equipment that is worn out from normal use, nor may any 
commodity or software be exported to be held in stock abroad as spare 
equipment for future use.
    (D) The replacement item may not improve the basic characteristic, 
e.g., as to accuracy, capability, performance, or productivity, of the 
equipment as originally authorized, e.g., under a license, license 
exception or an exemption, for export or reexport.
    (E) No shipment may be made to countries in Country Group E:1 (see 
supplement no. 1 to this part), or to any other destination to replace 
defective or otherwise unusable equipment owned or controlled by, or 
leased or chartered to, a national of any of those countries.
    (F) Commodities or ``software'' ``subject to the EAR'' and 
classified in 9x515 or ``600 Series'' ECCNs may not be exported or 
reexported to a destination identified in Country Group D:5 (see 
supplement no. 1 to this part).
    (ii) In addition to the general conditions in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of 
this section, the following conditions apply to exports or reexports of 
replacements for defective or unacceptable commodities or software 
``subject to the EAR'' (see Sec.734.2(a) of the EAR) to a destination 
in Country Group B or Country Group D:1 (see supplement no. 1 to this 
part):
    (A) By making such an export or reexport, the exporter represents 
that all the requirements of this paragraph (b) have been met and 
undertakes to destroy or return the replaced parts as provided in 
paragraph (b)(3)(ii)(C) of this section.

[[Page 299]]

    (B) The defective or otherwise unusable equipment must be replaced 
free of charge, except for transportation and labor charges. If 
exporting to the countries listed in Country Group D:1 (except the PRC), 
the exporter shall replace the commodity or software within the warranty 
period or within 12 months of its shipment to the ultimate consignee in 
the country of destination, whichever is shorter.
    (C) The commodity or software to be replaced must either be 
destroyed abroad or returned to the United States, or to a foreign firm 
in Country Group B that is under the effective control of the exporter, 
or to the foreign firm that is providing the replacement part or 
equipment. The destruction or return must be effected before, or 
promptly after, the replacement item is exported from the United States.
    (D) A party reexporting replacements for defective or unacceptable 
U.S.-origin equipment must ensure that the commodities or software being 
replaced were shipped to their present location in accordance with U.S. 
law and continue to be legally used. See Sec.764.7 of the EAR for 
exports or reexports to the installed base in Libya.
    (4) This paragraph (b)(4) authorizes the export of firearms 
controlled by ECCN 0A501.a or .b, or shotguns with a barrel length less 
than 18 inches controlled in ECCN 0A502 that are temporarily in the 
United States for servicing or replacement for a period not exceeding 
one year or the time it takes to service or replace the commodity, 
whichever is shorter, provided that the requirements of paragraph (b)(2) 
or (3) of this section are met and:
    (i) The firearms were not shipped from or manufactured in Russia, 
Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, or 
Uzbekistan, except for any firearm model controlled by 0A501 that is

    (B) Provided to U.S. Customs and Border Protection an invoice or 
other appropriate import-related documentation (or electronic

firearms being temporarily imported, including their model, make, 
caliber, serial numbers, quantity, and U.S. dollar value; and
    (C) Provided (if temporarily imported for servicing or replacement) 
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection the name, address and contact 
information (telephone number and/or email) of the organization or 
individual in the U.S. that will be receiving the item for servicing or 
replacement; and
    (iii) In addition to the export clearance requirements of part 758 
of the EAR, the exporter or its agent must provide the import 
documentation related to paragraph (b)(4)(iii)(B) of this section to 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the time of export.

    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(4): In addition to complying with all 
applicable EAR requirements for the export of commodities described in 
paragraph (b)(4) of this section, exporters and temporary importers 
should contact U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the port of 
temporary import or export, or at the CBP website, for the proper 
procedures for temporarily importing or exporting firearms controlled in 
ECCN 0A501.a or .b or shotguns with a barrel length less than 18 inches 
controlled in ECCN 0A502, including regarding how to provide any data or

Sec.740.11  Governments, international organizations, international
inspections under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and the International
Space Station (GOV).
          

    This License Exception authorizes exports and reexports for 
international nuclear safeguards; U.S. government agencies or personnel; 
agencies of cooperating governments; international inspections under the 
Chemical Weapons Convention; and the International Space Station. 
Commodities listed in ECCN 0A501 are eligible only for transactions 
described in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section. Any item 
listed in a 0x5zz ECCN for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to 
an E:1 country is eligible only for transactions described in paragraphs 
(b)(2)(i) and (ii) solely for U.S. Government official use of this 
section.
    (a) International safeguards--(1) Scope. The International Atomic 
Energy Agency (IAEA) is an international organization that establishes 
and administers safeguards, including Additional Protocols, designed to 
ensure that special nuclear materials and other related nuclear 
facilities, equipment, and material are not diverted from peaceful 
purposes to non-peaceful purposes. European Atomic Energy Community 
(Euratom) is an international organization of European countries with 
headquarters in Luxembourg. Euratom establishes and administers 
safeguards designed to ensure that special nuclear materials and other 
related nuclear facilities, equipment, and material are not diverted 
from peaceful purposes to non-peaceful purposes. This paragraph (a) 
authorizes exports and reexports of commodities or software to the IAEA 
and Euratom, and reexports by IAEA and Euratom for official 
international safeguard use, as follows:
    (i) Commodities or software consigned to the IAEA at its 
headquarters in Vienna, Austria or its field offices in Toronto, 
Ontario, Canada or in Tokyo, Japan for official international safeguards 
use.
    (ii) Commodities or software consigned to the Euratom Safeguards 
Directorate in Luxembourg, Luxembourg for official international 
safeguards use.
    (iii) Commodities or software consigned to IAEA or Euratom may be 
reexported to any country for IAEA or Euratom international safeguards 
use provided that IAEA or Euratom maintains control of or otherwise 
safeguards the commodities or software and returns the commodities or 
software to the locations described in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and 
(a)(1)(ii) of this section when they become obsolete, are no longer 
required, or are replaced.
    (iv) Commodity or software shipments may be made by persons under 
direct contract with IAEA or Euratom, or by Department of Energy 
National Laboratories as directed by the Department of State or the 
Department of Energy.
    (v) The monitoring functions of IAEA and Euratom are not subject to 
the restrictions on prohibited safeguarded nuclear activities described 
in Sec.744.2(a)(3) of the EAR.
    (vi) When commodities or software originally consigned to IAEA or 
Euratom are no longer in IAEA or Euratom official safeguards use, such 
commodities may be disposed of by destruction or by reexport or transfer 
in accordance with the EAR.
    (2) Restrictions. (i) Items on the Sensitive List (see supplement 
no. 6 to part 774 of the EAR) may not be exported, reexported, or 
transferred (in-

[[Page 301]]

country) under this paragraph (a), except to the countries listed in 
Country Group A:5 (See supplement no.1 to part 740 of the EAR).
    (ii) Items on the Very Sensitive List (see supplement no. 7 to part 
774 of the EAR) may not be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-
country) under this paragraph (a).
    (iii) Encryption items controlled for EI reasons under ECCNs 5A002, 
5A004, 5D002, or 5E002 may not be exported, reexported, or transferred 
(in-country) under this paragraph (a). See Sec.740.17 of the EAR 
(License Exception ENC) for possible alternative license exception 
authorization.
    (iv) Without prior authorization from the Bureau of Industry and 
Security, nationals of countries in Country Group E:1(see supplement no. 
1 to this part) may not physically or computationally access computers 
that have been enhanced by ``electronic assemblies,'' which have been 
exported or reexported under License Exception GOV and have been used to 
enhance such computers by aggregation of processors so that the APP of 
the aggregation exceeds the APP parameter set forth in ECCN 4A003.b.
    (v) ``600 series'' items may not be exported or reexported under 
this paragraph (a), except to the countries listed in Country Group A:5 
(see supplement no.1 to this part).
    (b) United States Government--(1) Scope. The provisions of this 
paragraph (b) authorize exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) 
to personnel and agencies of the U.S. Government and certain exports by 
the Department of Defense. ``Agency of the U.S. Government'' includes 
all civilian and military departments, branches, missions, government-
owned corporations, and other agencies of the U.S. Government, but does 
not include such national agencies as the American Red Cross or 
international organizations in which the United States participates such 
as the Organization of American States. Therefore, shipments may not be 
made to these non-governmental national or international agencies, 
except as provided in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section for U.S. 
representatives to these organizations.
    (2) Eligibility--(i) Items for personal use by personnel and 
agencies of the U.S. Government. This provision is available for items 
in quantities sufficient only for the personal use of members of the 
U.S. Armed Forces or civilian personnel of the U.S. Government 
(including U.S. representatives to public international organizations), 
and their immediate families and household employees. Items for personal 
use include household effects, food, beverages, and other daily 
necessities.
    (ii) Exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) made by or 
consigned to a department or agency of the U.S. Government. This 
paragraph authorizes exports, reexports, and transfers of items when 
made by or consigned to a department or agency of the U.S. Government 
solely for its official use or for carrying out any U.S. Government 
program with foreign governments or international organizations that is 
authorized by law and subject to control by the President by other 
means. This paragraph does not authorize a department or agency of the 
U.S. Government to make any export, reexport, or transfer that is 
otherwise prohibited by other administrative provisions or by statute. 
Contractor support personnel of a department or agency of the U.S. 
Government are eligible for this authorization when in the performance 
of their duties pursuant to the applicable contract or other official 
duties. 'Contractor support personnel' for the purpose of this provision 
means those persons who provide administrative, managerial, scientific 
or technical support under contract to a U.S. Government department or 
agency (e.g., contractor employees of Federally Funded Research 
Facilities or Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance contractors). 
The term 'contractor support personnel' for purposes of this paragraph 
(b)(2)(ii) is limited to those individuals who are providing such 
support within a U.S. Government owned or operated facility or under the 
direct supervision of a U.S. government employee (i.e., an individual 
directly employed by the U.S. Government). Private security contractors 
are not 'contractor support personnel' for purposes of this paragraph 
(b)(2)(ii) because although they may work within a U.S.

[[Page 302]]

Government owned or operated facility, such contractors do not provide 
administrative, managerial, scientific or technical support under 
contract to the U.S. Government. This authorization is not available 
when a department or agency of the U.S. Government acts as a transmittal 
agent on behalf of a non-U.S. Government person, either as a convenience 
or in satisfaction of security requirements.
    (iii) Exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) made for or on 
behalf of a department or agency of the U.S. Government. (A) This 
paragraph authorizes exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of 
items solely for use by a department or agency of the U.S. Government, 
when:
    (1) The items are destined to a U.S. person; and
    (2) The item is exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) 
pursuant to a contract between the exporter and a department or agency 
of the U.S. Government;
    (B) This paragraph authorizes exports, reexports, and transfers (in-
country) of items to implement or support any U.S. Government 
cooperative program, project, agreement, or arrangement with a foreign 
government or international organization or agency that is authorized by 
law and subject to control by the President by other means, when:
    (1) The agreement is in force and in effect, or the arrangement is 
in operation;
    (2) The exporter, reexporter, or transferor obtains a written 
authorization from the Secretary or agency head of the U.S. Government 
department or agency responsible for the program, agreement, or 
arrangement, or his or her designee, authorizing the exporter, 
reexporter, or transferor to use this license exception. The written 
authorization must include the scope of items to be shipped under this 
license exception; the end users and consignees of the items; and any 
restrictions on the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) 
(including any restrictions on the foreign release of technology);
    (3) The exporter, reexporter, or transferor has a contract with a 
department or agency of the U.S. Government for the provision of the 
items in furtherance of the agreement, or arrangement; and
    (4) The items being exported, reexported, or transferred (in-
country) are not controlled for Chemical Weapons Convention (CW) or 
proliferation of chemical and biological weapons (CB) reasons;
    (C) This paragraph authorizes the 'temporary' export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) of an item in support of any foreign assistance or 
sales program authorized by law and subject to the control of the 
President by other means, when:
    (1) The item is provided pursuant to a contract between the 
exporter, reexporter, or transferor and a department or agency of the 
U.S. Government; and
    (2) The exporter, reexporter, or transferor obtains a written 
authorization from the Secretary or agency head of the U.S. Government 
department or agency responsible for the program, or his or her 
designee, authorizing the exporter, reexporter, or transferor to use 
this license exception. The written authorization must include the scope 
of items to be shipped under this license exception; the end users and 
consignees of the items; and any restrictions on the export, reexport, 
or transfer (in-country) (including any restrictions on the foreign 
release of technology);

    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(2)(iii)(C): 'Temporary,' for purposes of 
paragraph (b)(2)(iii)(C) of this section, means that four years from the 
date of an item's initial export, reexport, or transfer (in-country), it 
must be returned to the exporter, reexporter, or transferor or its 
disposition otherwise authorized (e.g., pursuant to a license or another 
license exception) in accordance with the EAR.

    Note 2 to paragraph (b)(2): Items controlled for NS, MT, CB, NP, FC, 
or AT reasons may not be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-
country) to, or for the use of military, police, intelligence entities, 
or other sensitive end users (e.g., contractors or other governmental 
parties performing functions on behalf of military, police, or 
intelligence entities) of a government in a Country Group E:1 or E:2 
country.

    (D) This paragraph authorizes the export, reexport, or transfer of 
commodities or software at the direction of the U.S. Department of 
Defense for an end use in support of an Acquisition and

[[Page 303]]

Cross Servicing Agreement (ACSA), when:
    (1) The ACSA is between the U.S. Government and a foreign government 
or an international organization and is in force and in effect;
    (2) The exporter, reexporter, or transferor has a contract with the 
department or agency of the U.S. government in furtherance of the ACSA; 
and
    (3) The exporter, reexporter, or transferor obtains a written 
authorization from the Secretary or agency head of the U.S. Government 
department or agency responsible for the ACSA, or his or her designee, 
authorizing the exporter, reexporter, or transferor to use this license 
exception. The written authorization must include the scope of items to 
be shipped under this license exception; the end-users and consignees of 
the items; and any restrictions on the export, reexport, or transfer 
(in-country);
    (E) This paragraph authorizes the export, reexport, or transfer (in-
country) of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) made by a U.S. 
Government contractor, when:
    (1) The GFE will not be provided to any foreign person;
    (2) The export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) is pursuant to a 
contract with a department or agency of the U.S. Government; and
    (3) Shipment documents must include the following statement: 
``Property of [insert U.S. Government department, agency, or service]. 
Property may not enter the trade of the country to which it is shipped. 
Authorized under License Exception GOV. U.S. Government point of 
contact: [Insert name and telephone number].''
    (F) Electronic Export Information. Electronic Export Information 
(EEI) must be filed in the Automated Export System (AES) for any export 
made pursuant to paragraph (b)(iii) of this section. The EEI must 
identify License Exception GOV as the authority for the export and 
indicate that the applicant has received the relevant documentation from 
the contracting U.S. Government department, agency, or service. The 
Internal Transaction Number assigned by AES must be properly annotated 
on shipping documents (bill of lading, airway bill, other transportation 
documents, or commercial invoice).
    (G) The exporter, reexporter, or transferor must obtain an 
authorization, if required, before any item previously exported, 
reexported, or transferred (in-country) under this paragraph is resold, 
transferred, reexported, transshipped, or disposed of to an end user for 
any end use, or to any destination other than as authorized by this 
paragraph (e.g., property disposal of surplus items outside of the 
United States), unless:
    (1) The transfer is pursuant to a grant, sale, lease, loan, or 
cooperative project under the Arms Export Control Act or the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961, as amended; or
    (2) The item has been destroyed or rendered useless beyond the 
possibility of restoration.
    (iv) Items exported at the direction of the U.S. Department of 
Defense. This paragraph authorizes items to be exported, reexported, or 
transferred (in-country) pursuant to an official written request or 
directive from the U.S. Department of Defense.
    (v) This paragraph authorizes items sold, leased, or loaned by the 
U.S. Department of Defense to a foreign country or international 
organization pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act or the Foreign 
Assistance Act of 1961 when the items are delivered to representatives 
of such a country or organization in the United States and exported, 
reexported, or transferred on a military aircraft or naval vessel of 
that government or organization or via the Defense Transportation 
Service.
    (vi) This paragraph authorizes transfer of technology in furtherance 
of a contract between the exporter and an agency of the U.S. Government, 
if the contract provides for such technology and the technology is not 
``development'' or ``production'' technology for ``600 series'' items.
    (c) Cooperating Governments and the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization--(1) Scope. The provisions of this paragraph (c) authorize 
exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of the items listed in 
paragraph (c)(2) of this section to agencies of cooperating governments 
or agencies of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). 'Agency of 
a

[[Page 304]]

cooperating government' includes all civilian and military departments, 
branches, missions, and other governmental agencies of a cooperating 
national government. 'Cooperating governments' are the national 
governments of countries listed in Country Group A:1 (see supplement no. 
1 to this part) and the national governments of Singapore and Taiwan.

    Note 3 to paragraph (c)(1): Civil intergovernmental organizations 
(such as the European Space Agency (ESA)) where the membership is 
limited to national governments that are 'cooperating governments' are 
also considered 'cooperating governments' for purposes of paragraph 
(c)(1) of this section. If the membership of the civil intergovernmental 
organization includes any national governments or other organizations 
that are not 'cooperating governments,' such civil intergovernmental 
organizations are not considered 'cooperating governments' for purposes 
of paragraph (c)(1) of this section. For example, civil 
intergovernmental organizations such as the European Aviation Safety 
Agency (EASA), the United Nations, and the World Bank do not fall within 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section because their membership includes 
governments that are not 'cooperating governments.'

    (2) Eligibility--(i) Items for official use within national 
territory by agencies of cooperating governments. This license exception 
is available for all items consigned to and for the official use of any 
`agency of a cooperating government' within the territory of any 
cooperating government, except items excluded by paragraph (c)(3) of 
this section.
    (ii) Items for official use by agencies of cooperating governments 
for military purposes or NATO. With the exception of items excluded by 
paragraph (c)(3) of this section, this license exception is available 
for all items consigned to and for the official use of:
    (A) A military end user of or for the military end use of 
cooperating governments, or
    (B) An agency of NATO.
    (iii) Diplomatic and consular missions of a cooperating government. 
This license exception is available for all items consigned to and for 
the official use of a diplomatic or consular mission of a cooperating 
government located in any country in Country Group B (see supplement no. 
1 to this part), except items excluded by paragraph (c)(3) of this 
section.
    (3) Exclusions. The following items may not be exported, reexported, 
or transferred (in-country) under this paragraph (c):
    (i) Items on the Sensitive List (see supplement no. 6 to part 774 of 
the EAR), except to or for the use by governments of countries listed in 
Country Group A:5 (see supplement no. 1 to this part) or an agency of 
NATO;
    (ii) Items on the Very Sensitive List (see supplement no. 7 to part 
774 of the EAR);
    (iii) Encryption items controlled for EI reasons under ECCNs 5A002, 
5A004, 5D002, or 5E002 (see Sec.740.17 of the EAR for License 
Exception ENC);
    (iv) Regional stability items controlled under ECCNs 6A002.a.1.c, 
6E001 ``technology'' according to the General Technology Note for the 
``development'' of equipment in 6A002.a.1.c, and 6E002 ``technology'' 
according to the General Technology Note for the ``production'' of 
equipment in 6A002.a.1.c.;

    (vii) Items listed as not eligible for License Exception STA in 
Sec.740.20(b)(2)(ii) of the EAR.
    (d) International inspections under the Chemical Weapons Convention 
(CWC or Convention). (1) The Organization for the Prohibition of 
Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is an international organization that 
establishes and administers an inspection and verification regime under 
the Convention designed to ensure that certain chemicals and related 
facilities are not diverted from peaceful purposes to non-peaceful 
purposes. This paragraph (d) authorizes exports and reexports to the 
OPCW and exports and reexports by the OPCW for official international 
inspection and verification use under the terms of the Convention as 
follows:
    (i) Commodities and software consigned to the OPCW at its 
headquarters in The Hague for official international OPCW use for the 
monitoring and inspection functions set forth in the Convention, and 
technology relating to the maintenance, repair, and operation of

[[Page 305]]

such commodities and software. The OPCW must maintain ``effective 
control'' of such commodities, software and technology.
    (ii) Controlled technology relating to the training of the OPCW 
inspectorate.
    (iii) Controlled technology relating to a CWC inspection site, 
including technology released as a result of:

    (iii) ``600 series'' items, except to the countries listed in 
Country Group A:5 (see supplement no. 1 to this part).
    (3) Confidentiality. The application of the provisions of this 
paragraph (d) is subject to the condition that the confidentiality of 
business information is strictly protected in accordance with applicable 
provisions of the EAR and other U.S. laws regarding the use and transfer 
of U.S. goods and services.
    (4) Restrictions. Without prior authorization from the Bureau of 
Industry and Security, nationals of countries in Country Group E:1 (see 
supplement no. 1 to this part) may not physically or computationally 
access computers that have been enhanced by ``electronic assemblies,'' 
which have been exported or reexported under License Exception GOV and 
have been used to enhance such computers by aggregation of processors so 
that the APP of the aggregation exceeds the APP parameter set forth in 
ECCN 4A003.b.
    (e) International Space Station (ISS)--(1) Scope. The ISS is a 
research facility in a low-Earth orbit approximately 190 miles (350 km) 
above the surface of the Earth. The ISS is a joint project among the 
space agencies of the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, Europe and 
Italy. This paragraph (e) authorizes exports and reexports required on 
short notice of certain commodities subject to the EAR that are 
classified under ECCN 9A004 to launch sites for supply missions to the 
ISS.
    (2) Eligible commodities. Any commodity subject to the EAR that is 
classified under ECCN 9A004 and that is required for use on the ISS on 
short notice.

    Note 4 to paragraph (e)(2): This license exception is not available 
for the export or reexport of ``parts,'' ``components,'' 
``accessories,'' and ``attachments'' to overseas manufacturers for the 
purpose of incorporation into other items destined for the ISS.

    Note 5 to paragraph (e)(2): For purposes of this paragraph (e), 
`short notice' means the exporter is required to have a commodity 
manifested and at the scheduled launch site for hatch-closure (final 
stowage) no more than forty-five (45) days from the time the exporter or 
reexporter received complete documentation. `Complete documentation' 
means the exporter or reexporter received the technical description of 
the commodity and purpose for use of the commodity on the ISS. `Hatch-
closure (final stowage)' means the final date specified by a launch 
provider by which items must be at a specified location in a launch 
country in order to be included on a mission to the ISS. The exporter or 
reexporter must receive the notification to supply the commodity for use 
on the ISS in writing. That notification must be kept in accordance with 
paragraph (e)(8) of this section and the Recordkeeping requirements in 
part 762 of the EAR.

    (3) Eligible destinations. Eligible destinations are France, Japan, 
Kazakhstan, and Russia. To be eligible, a destination needs to have a 
launch for a supply mission to the ISS scheduled by a country 
participating in the ISS.
    (4) Requirement for commodities to be launched on an eligible space 
launch vehicle (SLV). Only commodities that will be delivered to the ISS 
using United States, Russian, ESA (French), or Japanese space launch 
vehicles (SLVs) are eligible under this authorization. Commodities to be 
delivered to the ISS using SLVs from any other countries are excluded 
from this authorization.
    (5) Authorizations--(i) Authorization to retain commodity at or near 
launch site

[[Page 306]]

for up to six months. If there are unexpected delays in a launch 
schedule for reasons such as mechanical failures in a launch vehicle or 
weather, commodities exported or reexported under this paragraph (e) may 
be retained at or near the launch site for a period of six (6) months 
from the time of initial export or reexport before the commodities must 
be destroyed, returned to the exporter or reexporter, or be the subject 
of an individually validated license request submitted to BIS to 
authorize further disposition of the commodities.
    (ii) Authorization to retain commodity abroad at launch country 
beyond six months. If, after the commodity is exported or reexported 
under this authorization, a delay occurs in the launch schedule that 
would exceed the 6-month deadline in paragraph (e)(5)(i) of this 
section, the exporter or reexporter or the person in control of the 
commodities in the launch country may request a one-time 6-month 
extension by submitting written notification to BIS requesting a 6-month 
extension and noting the reason for the delay. If the requestor is not 
contacted by BIS within 30 days from the date of the postmark of the 
written notification and if the notification meets the requirements of 
this subparagraph, the request is deemed granted. The request must be 
sent to BIS at the address listed in part 748 of the EAR and should 
include the name and address of the exporter or reexporter, the name and 
address of the person who has control of the commodity, the date the 
commodities were exported or reexported, a brief product description, 
and the justification for the extension. To retain a commodity abroad 
beyond the 6-month extension period, the exporter, reexporter or person 
in control of the commodity must request authorization by submitting a 
license application in accordance with Sec. Sec.748.1, 748.4 and 748.6 
of the EAR to BIS 90 days prior to the expiration of the 6-month 
extension period.
    (iii) Items not delivered to the ISS because of a failed launch. If 
the commodities exported or reexported under this paragraph (e) of this 
section are not delivered to the ISS because a failed launch causes the 
destruction of the commodity prior to its being delivered, exporters and 
reexporters must make note of the destruction of the commodities in 
accordance with the recordkeeping requirements under paragraph 
(e)(8)(ii) of this section and part 762 of the EAR.
    (6) Reexports to an alternate launch country. If a mechanical or 
weather related issue causes a change from the scheduled launch country 
to another foreign country after a commodity was exported or reexported, 
then that commodity may be subsequently reexported to the new scheduled 
launch country, provided all of the terms and conditions of paragraph 
(e) of this section are met, along with any other applicable EAR 
provisions. In such instances, the 6-month time limitation described in 
paragraph (e)(5)(i) of this section would start over again at the time 
of the subsequent reexport transaction. Note that if the subsequent 
reexport may be made under the designation No License Required (NLR) or 
pursuant to an authorization under the EAR, a reexporter does not need 
to rely on the provisions contained in this paragraph (e).
    (7) Eligible recipients. Only persons involved in the launch of 
commodities to the ISS may receive and have access to commodities 
exported or reexported pursuant to this paragraph (e), except that:
    (i) No commodities may be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-
country) under paragraph (e) to any national of an E:1 country (see 
supplement no. 1 to this part), and
    (ii) No person may receive commodities authorized under paragraph 
(e) of this section who is subject to an end-user or end-use control 
described in part 744 of the EAR, including the entity list in 
supplement no. 4 to part 744.
    (8) Recordkeeping requirements. Exporters and reexporters must 
maintain records regarding exports or reexports made using this 
paragraph (e) of this section as well as any other applicable 
recordkeeping requirements under part 762 of the EAR.
    (i) Exporters and reexporters must retain a record of the initial 
written notification they received requesting these commodities be 
supplied on short notice for a supply mission to the ISS,

[[Page 307]]

including the date the exporter or reexporter received complete 
documentation (i.e., the day on which the 45-day clock begins).
    (ii) Exporters and reexporters must maintain records of the date of 
any exports or reexports made using this paragraph (e) and the date on 
which the commodities were launched into space for delivery to the ISS. 
If the commodities are not delivered to the ISS because of a failed 
launch whereby the item is destroyed prior to being delivered to the 
ISS, this must be noted for recordkeeping purposes.
    (iii) The return or destruction of defective or worn out parts or 
components is not required. However, if defective or worn out parts or 
components originally exported or reexported pursuant to this paragraph 
(e) are returned from the ISS, then those parts and components may be 
either: returned to the original country of export or reexport; 
destroyed; or reexported or transferred (in-country) to a destination 
that has been designated by NASA for conducting a review and analysis of 
the defective or worn part or component. Documentation for this activity 
must be kept for recordkeeping purposes. No commodities that are subject 
to the EAR may be returned, under the provisions of this paragraph, to a 
country listed in Country Group E:1 (see supplement no. 1 to this part) 
or to any person if that person is subject to an end-user or end-use 
control described in part 744 of the EAR. For purposes of paragraph (e) 
of this section, a `defective or worn out' part or component is a part 
or component that no longer performs its intended function.

Sec.740.12  Gift parcels and humanitarian donations (GFT).

    (a) Gift parcels--(1) Scope. The provisions of paragraph (a) 
authorize exports and reexports of gift parcels by an individual (donor) 
addressed to an individual, or a religious, charitable or educational 
organization (donee) located in any destination for the use of the donee 
or the donee's immediate family (and not for resale). The gift parcel 
must be provided free of charge to the donee. However, payment by the 
donee of any handling charges or of any fees levied by the importing 
country (e.g., import duties, taxes, etc.) is not considered to be a 
cost to the donee for purposes of this definition of ``gift parcel.'' 
\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Many foreign countries permit the entry, duty-free, of gift 
parcels that conform to regulations regarding contents and marking. To 
secure this advantage, the sender should show the words ``U.S.A. Gift 
Parcel'' on the addressee side of the package and on any required 
customs declarations. Information regarding the foreign postal 
regulations is available at local post offices. Senders of gift parcels 
who wish information regarding import duties of a foreign country should 
contact the nearest Commercial Office, Consulate or Embassy of the 
country concerned.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2) Commodity, value and other limitations--(i) Item limitations--
(A) Prohibited items. (1) For Cuba no items listed on the Commerce 
Control List other than items listed in Sec.740.19(b) of the EAR may 
be included in a gift parcel.
    (2) For all destinations, no items controlled for chemical and 
biological weapons (CB), missile technology (MT), national security 
(NS), nuclear proliferation (NP) or encryption items (EI) reasons on the 
Commerce Control List (supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR) may be 
included in a gift parcel.
    (3) Items prohibited for destinations in Country Group D:1 or E:2. 
For destinations in Country Group D:1 or E:2, military wearing apparel 
may not be included in a gift parcel regardless of whether all 
distinctive U.S. military insignia, buttons, and other markings are 
removed.
    (4) Gold bullion, gold taels, and gold bars are prohibited as are 
items intended for resale or reexport.
    (B) Eligible items. For all destinations, eligible items are food 
(including vitamins); medicines, medical supplies and devices (including 
hospital supplies and equipment and equipment for the handicapped); 
receive-only radio equipment for reception of commercial/civil AM/FM and 
short wave publicly available frequency bands, and batteries for

[[Page 308]]

such equipment; clothing; personal hygiene items; seeds; veterinary 
medicines and supplies; fishing equipment and supplies; soap-making 
equipment; as well as all other items of a type normally sent as gifts 
between individuals (including items listed in Sec.740.19(b) of the 
EAR) except for those items prohibited in paragraph (a)(2)(i)(A) of this 
section. Items in gift parcels must be in quantities normally given as 
gifts between individuals.

    Example to paragraph (a)(2)(i)(B) of this section. A watch or piece 
of jewelry is normally sent as a gift. However, multiple watches, either 
in one package or in subsequent shipments, would not qualify for such 
gift parcels because the quantity would exceed that normally given 
between individuals. Similarly, a sewing machine or bicycle within the 
value limit of this License Exception may be an appropriate gift. 
However, subsequent shipments of the same item to the same donee would 
not be a gift normally given between individuals.

    (ii) Import requirements. The commodities must be acceptable in type 
and quantity by the recipient country for import as gifts. Commodities 
exceeding the import limits may not be included in gift parcels.
    (iii) Frequency. (A) Except for gift parcels of food to Cuba, not 
more than one gift parcel may be sent from the same donor to the same 
donee in any one calendar month.
    (B) There is no frequency limit on gift parcels of food to Cuba.
    (C) Parties seeking authorization to exceed the frequency limit due 
to compelling humanitarian concerns (e.g., for certain gifts of 
medicine) should submit a license application in accordance with 
Sec. Sec.748.1, 748.4 and 748.6 of the EAR to BIS with complete 
justification.
    (iv) Value. The combined total domestic retail value of all 
commodities and software in a single gift parcel may not exceed $800. 
This limit does not apply to food sent in a gift parcel to Cuba.
    (v) Ineligible recipients. (A) No gift parcel may be sent to any of 
the following officials of the Cuban government: Ministers and Vice-
Ministers; members of the Council of State; members of the Council of 
Ministers; members and employees of the National Assembly of People's 
Power; members of any provincial assembly; local sector chiefs of the 
Committees for the Defense of the Revolution; Director Generals and sub-
Director Generals and higher of all Cuban ministries and state agencies; 
employees of the Ministry of the Interior (MININT); employees of the 
Ministry of Defense (MINFAR); secretaries and first secretaries of the 
Confederation of Labor of Cuba (CTC) and its component unions; chief 
editors, editors and deputy editors of Cuban state-run media 
organizations and programs, including newspapers, television, and radio; 
or members and employees of the Supreme Court (Tribuno Supremo 
Nacional).
    (B) No gift parcel may be sent to any member of the Politburo.
    (C) No gift parcel may be sent to organizations administered or 
controlled by the Cuban Government or the Cuban Communist Party.
    (3) How to export gift parcels. (i) A gift parcel must be sent 
directly to the donee by the individual donor, or for such donor by a 
commercial or other gift-forwarding service or organization. Each gift 
parcel must show, on the outside wrapper, the name and address of the 
donor, as well as the name and address of the donee, regardless of 
whether sent by the donor or by a forwarding service.
    (ii) Each parcel must have the notation ``GIFT--Export License Not 
Required'' written on the addressee side of the package and the symbol 
``GFT'' written on any required customs declaration.
    (b) Humanitarian donations--(1) Scope. The provisions of paragraph 
(b) authorize exports or reexports by groups or organizations of 
donations to meet basic human needs when those groups or organizations 
have experience in maintaining a verifiable system of distribution that 
ensures delivery to the intended beneficiaries.
    (2) Basic human needs. Basic human needs are defined as those 
requirements essential to individual well-being: health, food, clothing, 
shelter, and education. These needs are considered to extend beyond 
those of an emergency nature and those that meet direct needs for mere 
subsistence.
    (3) Eligible donors. Eligible donors are U.S. charitable 
organizations that have

[[Page 309]]

an established record of involvement in donative programs and experience 
in maintaining and verifying a system of distribution to ensure delivery 
of commodities and software to the intended beneficiaries. Eligible 
distribution arrangements may consist of any one or more of the 
following:
    (i) A permanent staff maintained in the recipient country to monitor 
the receipt and distribution of the donations to the intended 
beneficiaries;
    (ii) Periodic spot-checks in the recipient country by members of the 
exporter's staff; or
    (iii) An agreement to utilize the services of a charitable 
organization that has a monitoring system in place.
    (4) Donations. To qualify for export under the provisions of this 
paragraph (b), the items must be provided free of charge to the 
beneficiary. The payment by the beneficiary, however, of normal handling 
charges or fees levied by the importing country (e.g., import duties, 
taxes, etc.) is not considered to be a cost to the beneficiary for 
purposes of this paragraph (b).
    (5) Ineligible commodities and software. The following commodities 
and software are not eligible:
    (i) Commodities and software controlled for national security, 
chemical or biological weapons, and nuclear nonproliferation, missile 
technology or crime control reasons (see supplement no. 1 to part 774 of 
the EAR);
    (ii) Exports for large-scale projects of the kind associated with 
comprehensive economic growth, such as dams and hydroelectric plants; or
    (iii) Exports to Cuba of medical items excluded by Sec.746.2(b)(1) 
of the EAR.
    (6) Eligible items. Eligible commodities and software are those 
listed in supplement no. 2 to part 740.
    (7) Additional recordkeeping requirements. In addition to the 
recordkeeping requirements in part 762 of the EAR, donors must keep 
records containing the following information:
    (i) The donor organization's identity and past experience as an 
exporter of goods to meet basic human needs;
    (ii) Past and current countries to which the donative programs have 
been and are being directed, with particular reference to donative 
programs in embargoed destinations;
    (iii) Types of projects and commodities involved in the donative 
programs;
    (iv) Specific class(es) of beneficiaries of particular donated goods 
intended to be exported under this License Exception; and
    (v) Information concerning the source of funding for the donative 
programs and the projected annual value of exports of humanitarian 
donations.

Sec.740.13  Technology and software--unrestricted (TSU).

    This license exception authorizes exports and reexports of operation 
technology and software; sales technology and software; software updates 
(bug fixes); ``mass market'' software subject to the General Software 
Note; and release of technology and source code in the United States by 
U.S. universities to their bona fide and full time regular employees. 
Note that encryption software subject to the EAR is not subject to the 
General Software Note (see paragraph (d)(2) of this section).
    (a) Operation technology and software--(1) Scope. The provisions of 
paragraph (a) permit exports and reexports of operation technology and 
software. ``Operation technology'' is the minimum technology necessary 
for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking), or repair of 
those commodities or software that are lawfully exported or reexported 
under a license, a License Exception, or NLR. The ``minimum necessary'' 
operation technology does not include technology for development or 
production and includes use technology only to the extent required to 
ensure safe and efficient use of the commodity or software. Individual 
entries in the software and technology subcategories of the CCL may 
further restrict the export or reexport of operation technology. This 
paragraph (a)

[[Page 310]]

authorizes training, provided the training is limited to the operation, 
maintenance and repair technology identified in this paragraph.
    (2) Provisions and destinations--(i) Provisions. Operation software 
may be exported or reexported provided that both of the following 
conditions are met:
    (A) The operation software is the minimum necessary to operate 
equipment authorized for export or reexport; and
    (B) The operation software is in object code.
    (ii) Destinations. Operation software and technology may be exported 
or reexported to any destination to which the equipment for which it is 
required has been or is being legally exported or reexported.
    (b) Sales technology--(1) Scope. The provisions of paragraph (b) 
authorize exports and reexports of sales technology. ``Sales 
technology'' is data supporting a prospective or actual quotation, bid, 
or offer to sell, lease, or otherwise supply any item.
    (2) Provisions and destinations--(i) Provisions. Sales technology 
may be exported or reexported provided that:
    (A) The technology is a type customarily transmitted with a 
prospective or actual quotation, bid, or offer in accordance with 
established business practice; and
    (B) Neither the export nor the reexport will disclose the detailed 
design, production, or manufacture technology, or the means of 
reconstruction, of either the quoted item or its product. The purpose of 
this limitation is to prevent disclosure of technology so detailed that 
the consignee could reduce the technology to production.
    (ii) Destinations. Sales technology may be exported or reexported to 
any destination.

    Note: Neither this section nor its use means that the U.S. 
Government intends, or is committed, to approve a license application 
for any commodity, plant, software, or technology that may be the 
subject of the transaction to which such quotation, bid, or offer 
relates. Exporters are advised to include in any quotations, bids, or 
offers, and in any contracts entered into pursuant to such quotations, 
bids, or offers, a provision relieving themselves of liability in the 
event that a license (when required) is not approved by the Bureau of 
Industry and Security.

    (c) Software updates. The provisions of paragraph (c) authorize 
exports and reexports of software updates that are intended for and are 
limited to correction of errors (``fixes'' to ``bugs'') in software 
lawfully exported or reexported (original software). Such software 
updates may be exported or reexported only to the same consignee to whom 
the original software was exported or reexported, and such software 
updates may not enhance the functional capacities of the original 
software. Such software updates may be exported or reexported to any 
destination to which the software for which they are required has been 
legally exported or reexported.
    (d) General Software Note: mass market software--(1) Scope. The 
provisions of paragraph (d) authorize exports and reexports of mass 
market software subject to the General Software Note (see supplement no. 
2 to part 774 of the EAR; also referenced in this section). \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Pursuant to 15 CFR Sec.30.37(f) of the Foreign Trade 
Regulations (FTR), Electronic Export Information (EEI) via the Automated 
Export System (AES) is required for mass-market software.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2) Exclusions. The provisions of this paragraph (d) are not 
available for encryption software controlled for ``EI'' reasons under 
ECCN 5D002 or for encryption software with symmetric key length 
exceeding 64-bits that qualifies as mass market encryption software 
under the criteria in the Cryptography Note (Note 3) of Category 5, Part 
2, of the Commerce Control List (supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the 
EAR). (Once such mass market encryption software has been reviewed by 
BIS and released from ``EI'' and ``NS'' controls pursuant to Sec.
742.15(b) of the EAR, it is controlled under ECCN 5D992.c and is thus 
outside the scope of License Exception TSU.) See Sec.742.15(b) of the 
EAR for exports and reexports of mass market encryption products 
controlled under ECCN 5D992.c.
    (3) Provisions and destinations--(i) Destinations. Mass market 
software is available to all destinations except destinations in Country 
Group E:1 (see supplement no. 1 to this part).

[[Page 311]]

    (ii) Provisions. Mass market treatment is available for software 
that is generally available to the public by being:
    (A) Sold from stock at retail selling points, without restriction, 
by means of:
    (1) Over the counter transactions;
    (2) Mail order transactions; or
    (3) Telephone call transactions; and
    (B) Designed for installation by the user without further 
substantial support by the supplier.
    (e) [Reserved]
    (f) Release of technology and source code in the U.S. by U.S. 
universities to their bona fide and full time regular employees--(1) 
Scope. This paragraph authorizes the release in the United States of 
``technology'' and source code that is subject to the EAR by U.S. 
universities to foreign nationals who are their bona fide and full time 
regular employees.
    (2) Eligible foreign nationals (i.e., bona fide and full time 
regular employees of U.S. universities). This exception is only 
available if:
    (i) The employee's permanent residence throughout the period of 
employment is in the U.S.;
    (ii) The employee is not a national of a destination listed in 
Country Group D:5 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR); and
    (iii) The university informs the individual in writing that the 
``technology'' or source code may not be transferred to other foreign 
nationals without prior U.S. Government authorization. The obligation 
not to transfer technology extends beyond the tenure of employment at 
the university.
    (3) Regular employee. A regular employee means:

Sec.740.17  Encryption commodities, software, and technology (ENC).

    License Exception ENC authorizes export, reexport, and transfer (in-
country) of systems, equipment, commodities, and components therefor 
that are classified under ECCN 5A002, 5B002, equivalent or related 
software and technology therefor classified under 5D002 or 5E002, and 
``cryptanalytic items'' and digital forensics items (investigative 
tools) classified under ECCN 5A004, 5D002 or 5E002. This License 
Exception ENC does not authorize export or reexport to, transfer (in-
country) in, or provision of any service in any country listed in 
Country Groups E:1 or E:2 in supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR, or 
release of source code or technology to any national of a country listed 
in Country Groups E:1 or E:2. Reexports and transfers (in-country) under 
License Exception ENC are subject to the criteria set forth in paragraph 
(c) of this section. Paragraphs (b) and (d) of this section set forth 
information about classifications required by this section. Items 
described in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(3)(i), (ii), or (iv) of this 
section that meet the criteria set forth in Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2 
of the Commerce Control List (the ``mass market'' note) are classified 
under ECCN 5A992.c or 5D992.c following self-classification or 
classification by BIS and are no longer subject to ``EI'' and ``NS'' 
controls. Paragraph (e) sets forth reporting required by this section. 
For items exported under paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(3)(i), (ii), or (iv) of 
this section and therefore excluded from paragraph (e) reporting 
requirements, exporters are reminded of the recordkeeping requirements 
in part 762 of the EAR and that they may be required to make such 
records available upon request. All classification requests, and reports 
submitted to BIS pursuant to this section for encryption items will be 
reviewed by the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator, Ft. Meade, MD.
    (a) No classification request or reporting required. License 
Exception ENC authorizes the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) 
to the end users and for the end uses set forth in paragraphs (a)(1) 
through (3) of this section, without submission of a classification 
request, self-classification report or sales report to BIS.
    (1) Certain exports, reexports, transfers (in-country) to 'private 
sector end users'--(i) Internal ``development'' or ``production'' of new 
products. License Exception ENC authorizes certain exports, reexports, 
and transfers (in-country) of items described in paragraph (a) of this 
section for the internal ``development'' or ``production'' of new 
products by 'private sector end users,' wherever located, that are 
headquartered in a country listed in supplement no. 3 of this part.
    (ii) Certain exports, reexports, transfers (in-country) to related 
parties, not involving ``development'' or ``production'' of new 
products. For internal end uses among 'private sector end users' other 
than the ``development'' or ``production'' of new products, License 
Exception ENC authorizes exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) 
of non-U.S.-origin items, described in paragraph (a)

[[Page 322]]

of this section, to 'private sector end users' wherever located provided 
that:
    (A) That item became subject to the EAR after it was produced;
    (B) All parties to the transaction are subsidiaries of the same 
parent company headquartered in a country listed in supplement no. 3 of 
this part; and
    (C) The characteristics or capabilities of the existing item are not 
enhanced, unless otherwise authorized by license or license exception.

    Note to paragraph (a)(1): A 'private sector end user' is either: An 
individual who is not acting on behalf of any foreign government; or a 
commercial firm (including its subsidiary and parent firms, and other 
subsidiaries of the same parent) that is not wholly owned by, otherwise 
controlled by or acting on behalf of, any foreign government.

    (2) Exports, reexports, transfers (in-country) to ``U.S. 
Subsidiaries.'' License Exception ENC authorizes export, reexport, and 
transfer (in-country) of items described in paragraph (a) of this 
section to any ``U.S. subsidiary,'' wherever located. License Exception 
ENC also authorizes export, reexport, transfer (in-country) of such 
items by a U.S. company and its subsidiaries to foreign nationals who 
are employees, individual contractors or interns of a U.S. company or 
its subsidiaries if the items are for internal company use, including 
the ``development'' or ``production'' of new products, without prior 
review by the U.S. Government.

    Note to paragraphs (a)(1) and (2): All items produced or developed 
with items exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) under 
paragraphs (a)(1) or (2) of this section are subject to the EAR. These 
items may require the submission of a classification request before 
sale, reexport or transfer to non-``U.S. subsidiaries,'' unless 
otherwise authorized by license or license exception.

    (3) Reexports and transfers (in-country) of non-U.S. products 
developed with or incorporating U.S.-origin encryption source code, 
components, or toolkits. License Exception ENC authorizes the reexport 
and transfer (in-country) of non-U.S. products developed with or 
incorporating U.S.-origin encryption source code, components or toolkits 
that are subject to the EAR, provided that the U.S.-origin encryption 
items have previously been classified or reported and authorized by BIS 
and the cryptographic functionality has not been changed. Such products 
include non-U.S. developed products that are designed to operate with 
U.S. products through a cryptographic interface.

    Note to paragraph (a)(3): This exception from classification and 
reporting requirements does not apply to non-U.S.-origin products 
exported from the United States.

    (b) Classification request or self-classification report. For 
products described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section that are self-
classified by the exporter, a self-classification report in accordance 
with paragraph (e)(3) of this section is required from specified 
exporters, reexporters and transferors; for products described in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section that are classified by BIS via a CCATS, 
a self-classification report is not required. For products described in 
paragraphs (b)(2) and (3) of this section, a thirty-day (30-day) 
classification request is required in accordance with paragraph (d) of 
this section. An exporter, reexporter, or transferor may rely on the 
producer's self-classification (for products described in (b)(1), only) 
or CCATS for an encryption item eligible for export or reexport under 
License Exception ENC under paragraph (b)(1), (2), or (3) of this 
section. Exporters are still required to comply with semi-annual sales 
reporting requirements under paragraph (e)(1) or (2) of this section, 
even if relying on a CCATS issued to a producer for specified encryption 
items described in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3)(iii) of this section.

    Note to paragraph (b) introductory text: Mass market encryption 
software that would be considered publicly available under Sec.
734.3(b)(3) of the EAR, and is authorized for export under this 
paragraph (b), remains subject to the EAR until all applicable 
classification or self-classification requirements set forth in this 
section are fulfilled.

    (1) Immediate authorization. This paragraph (b)(1) authorizes the 
exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of the associated 
commodities self-classified under ECCNs 5A002.a or 5B002, and equivalent 
or related software therefor classified under 5D002, except any such 
commodities, software, or components described in (b)(2) or (3) of this 
section, subject to submission of a self-classification report in 
accordance with

[[Page 323]]

Sec.740.17(e)(3) of the EAR. Items described in this paragraph (b)(1) 
that meet the criteria set forth in Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2 of the 
Commerce Control List (the ``mass market'' note) are classified as ECCN 
5A992.c or 5D992.c following self-classification or classification by 
BIS and are removed from ``EI'' and ``NS'' controls.
    (2) Classification request required. Thirty (30) days after the 
submission of a classification request with BIS in accordance with 
paragraph (d) of this section and subject to the reporting requirements 
in paragraph (e) of this section, this paragraph under License Exception 
ENC authorizes certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of 
the items specified in paragraph (b)(2) and submitted for 
classification.

    Note to paragraph (b)(2) introductory text: Immediately after the 
classification request is submitted to BIS in accordance with paragraph 
(d) of this section and subject to the reporting requirements in 
paragraph (e) of this section, this paragraph also authorizes exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) of:
    1. All submitted encryption items described in this paragraph 
(b)(2), except ``cryptanalytic items,'' classified in ECCN 5A004.a,

    (d) Classification request procedures--(1) Submission requirements 
and instructions. To submit a classification request to BIS, you must 
submit an application to BIS in accordance with the procedures described 
in Sec. Sec.748.1 and 748.3 of the EAR and the instructions in 
paragraph (r) of supplement no. 2 to part 748 ``Unique Application and 
Submission Requirements,'' along with other required information as 
follows:
    (i) [Reserved]
    (ii) Technical information submission requirements. For all 
submissions of encryption classification requests for items described 
under paragraph (b)(2) or (b)(3) of this section, you must submit the 
applicable information described in paragraphs (a) through (d) of 
supplement no. 6 to part 742 of the EAR (Technical Questionnaire for 
Encryption Items). For items eligible for self-classification that are

paragraphs

[[Page 326]]

(b)(2) or (b)(3) of this section) is required if a change is made to the 
cryptographic functionality (e.g., algorithms) or other technical 
characteristics affecting License Exception ENC eligibility (e.g., 
encrypted throughput) of the originally classified product. However, a 
new product classification request is not required when a change 
involves: the subsequent bundling, patches, upgrades or releases of a 
product; name changes; or changes to a previously reviewed encryption 
product where the change is limited to updates of encryption software 
components where the product is otherwise unchanged.
    (2) Action by BIS. (i) [Reserved]
    (ii) For items requiring classification by BIS under paragraphs 
(b)(2) and (3) of this section. (A) For classifications that require a 
thirty (30-day) waiting period, if BIS has not, within thirty days (30 
days) from registration in SNAP-R of your complete classification 
request, informed you that your item is not authorized for License 
Exception ENC, you may export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) under 
the applicable provisions of License Exception ENC.
    (B) Upon completion of its classification, BIS will issue a 
Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System (CCATS) to you.
    (C) Hold Without Action (HWA) for classification requests. BIS may 
hold your classification request without action if necessary to obtain 
additional information or for any other reason necessary to ensure an 
accurate classification. Time on such ``hold without action'' status 
shall not be counted towards fulfilling the thirty-day (30-day) 
processing period specified in this paragraph.
    (iii) BIS may require you to supply additional relevant technical 
information about your encryption item(s) or information that pertains 
to their eligibility for License Exception ENC at any time, before or 
after the expiration of the thirty-day (30-day) processing period 
specified in this paragraph and in paragraphs (b)(2) and (3) of this 
section. If you do not supply such information within 14 days after 
receiving a request for it from BIS, BIS may return your classification 
request(s) without action or otherwise suspend or revoke your 
eligibility to use License Exception ENC for that item(s). At your 
request, BIS may grant you up to an additional 14 days to provide the 
requested information. Any request for such an additional number of days 
must be made prior to the date by which the information was otherwise 
due to be provided to BIS, and may be approved if BIS concludes that 
additional time is necessary.

Sec.740.18  Agricultural commodities (AGR).

    (a) Eligibility requirements. License Exception AGR permits the 
export of agricultural commodities to Cuba, as well as the reexport of 
U.S. origin agricultural commodities to Cuba, provided your transaction 
meets all of the following criteria:
    (1) The commodity meets the definition of ``agricultural 
commodities'' in part 772 of the EAR;
    (2) The commodity is EAR99. You must have an official commodity 
classification of EAR99 from BIS for fertilizers, western red cedar and 
live horses before you submit a notification under this license 
exception. See Sec.748.3 of the EAR for information on how to submit a 
commodity classification request;
    (3) The export or reexport is made pursuant to a written contract, 
except for donations and commercial samples which are not subject to 
this contract requirement;
    (4) The export or reexport is made within 12 months of the signing 
of the contract or within 12 months of notification that no objections 
were raised (if no contract is required). In the case of multiple 
partial shipments, all such shipments must be made within the 12 months 
of the signing of the contract or within 12 months of notification that 
no objections were raised (if no contract is required); and
    (5) You notify BIS prior to exporting or reexporting according to 
the procedures set forth in paragraph (c) of this section. If you intend 
to engage in multiple shipments during the one-year period after the 
signing of the contract, you need only notify BIS prior to the first 
shipment.

[[Page 329]]

    (b) Restrictions. (1) No export or reexport to any individual or 
entity designated as a Specially Designated Terrorist or Foreign 
Terrorist Organization may be made under License Exception AGR (see part 
744 of the EAR).
    (2) No export or reexport to or for use in biological, chemical, 
nuclear warfare or missile proliferation activities may be made under 
License Exception AGR (see part 744 of the EAR).
    (3) No U.S.-owned or controlled foreign firm may export from abroad 
to Cuba a foreign produced agricultural commodity containing more than 
25% U.S.-origin content. Such U.S.-owned or controlled foreign firms 
require a specific license from BIS as well as the Department of the 
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Transactions not 
subject to the EAR (under 25% U.S.-origin content) require a license 
from OFAC.
    (c) Prior notification--(1) General requirement. You must notify BIS 
prior to any export or reexport (or prior to the first of multiple 
shipments) under License Exception AGR.
    (2) Procedures. You must provide prior notification of exports and 
reexports under License Exception AGR by submitting a completed 
application in accordance with Sec.748.1 of the EAR. The following 
blocks must be completed, as appropriate: Blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (by 
marking box 5 ``Other''), 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 (a), (e), (f), (g), 
(h), (i), (j), 23, and 25 according to the instructions described in 
supplement no. 1 to part 748 of the EAR. If your commodity is 
fertilizer, western red cedar or live horses, you must confirm that BIS 
has previously classified your commodity as EAR99 by placing the 
Commodity Classification Automatic Tracking System (CCATS) number in 
Block 22(d). BIS will not initiate the registration of an AGR 
notification unless the application is complete.
    (3) Action by BIS. Within two business days of the registration of 
the AGR notification, BIS will refer the notification for interagency 
review, or if necessary return the notification without action (e.g., if 
the information provided is incomplete). Registration is defined as the 
point at which the notification is entered into BIS's electronic system.
    (4) Review by other departments or agencies. The Departments of 
Defense, State, and other agencies, as appropriate, may review the AGR 
notification. BIS must receive department or agency objections within 
nine business days of the referral. Unlike the provisions described in 
Sec.750.4(b) of the EAR, there are no provisions for stopping the 
processing time of the AGR notification. If, within 11 business days 
after the date of registration, any reviewing agency provides a written 
objection that the recipient may promote international terrorism or the 
transaction raises nonproliferation concerns, you may not use License 
Exception AGR. In such cases, BIS will notify you that a license is 
required for the export or reexport. BIS will then process the AGR 
notification as a license application in accordance with the provisions 
described in Sec.750.4 of the EAR, and the licensing policies set 
forth in the EAR. At this time, BIS may request additional information. 
When BIS confirms that no agency has raised an objection within eleven 
business days (as described in paragraph (c)(5) of this section), you 
may proceed with the transaction provided that you satisfy all other 
requirements of License Exception AGR, including the requirement to have 
a written contract prior to any shipment (unless a donation or 
commercial sample). (Note that the fact that you have been advised that 
no agency has objected to the transaction does not exempt you from other 
licensing requirements under the EAR, such as those based on knowledge 
of a prohibited end-use or end-user as referenced in general prohibition 
five (part 736 of the EAR) and set forth in part 744 of the EAR.)
    (5) Status of pending AGR notification requests. You must contact 
BIS's System for Tracking Export License Applications (STELA) (https://
snapr.bis.doc.gov/stela) for status of your pending AGR notification or 
verify the status in BIS's Simplified Network Applications Processing 
Redesign (SNAP-R) System. STELA will provide the date of registration of 
the AGR notification. If no department or agency objection is raised 
within 11 business days, STELA will, on the twelfth business day 
following the date

[[Page 330]]

of registration, provide you with confirmation of that fact. You may not 
proceed with your shipment unless you confirm with either STELA or SNAP-
R that no objection has been raised. If an objection is raised, STELA 
and SNAP-R will indicate that a license is required. The AGR 
notification will then be processed as a license application. In 
addition, BIS may provide notice of an objection by telephone, fax, 
courier service, or other means.
    (d) Donations. (1) Donations of agricultural commodities are 
eligible for export and reexport to Cuba under License Exception AGR, 
provided the transaction meets the requirements and procedures of this 
license exception (except the written contract requirement).
    (2) Donations of food items to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) 
and individuals in Cuba may also be eligible for License Exception GFT. 
See Sec.740.12 for eligibility requirements of gift parcels and 
humanitarian donations under License Exception GFT.

Sec.740.20  License Exception Strategic Trade Authorization (STA).

    (a) Introduction. This section authorizes exports, reexports, and 
transfers (in-country), including releases within a single country of 
software source code and technology to foreign nationals, in lieu of a 
license that would otherwise be required pursuant to part 742 of the 
EAR.

    Note 1 to paragraph (a): License Exception STA authorizes transfers 
(in-country) but is only needed to authorize a transfer (in-country) 
when an EAR authorization is required. If a transfer (in-country) is not 
being made under STA, the requirements specified in this section do not 
apply (see Note 1 to paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section for 
requirements specific to staying within the scope of the original 
License Exception STA authorization and the concept of 'completing the 
chain' for purposes of ``600 series'' items originally authorized under 
License Exception STA).

(``technology'' for the ``development'' of commodities controlled under 
ECCN 6A002 or 6A003); or 6E002 ``technology'' (for

[[Page 333]]

the ``production'' of commodities controlled under ECCN 6A002 or 6A003).
    (xi) License Exception STA may not be used for any commodity 
controlled by ECCN 3A001.b.2 or b.3 (except those that are being 
exported or reexported for use in civil telecommunications 
applications), or any ``technology'' controlled by 3E001 for the 
``production'' or ``development'' of commodities controlled by 3A001.b.2 
or b.3.
    (3) Limitations on the Use of STA that are Specific to ``600 
series'' Items. (i) License Exception STA may not be used for any ``600 
series'' items identified in the relevant ECCN as not being eligible for 
STA.
    (ii) License Exception STA may be used to export, reexport, and 
transfer (in-country) ``600 series'' items to persons, whether non-
governmental or governmental, if they are in and, for natural persons, 
nationals of a country listed in Country Group A:5 (See supplement no. 1 
to part 740 of the EAR) or the United States and if:
    (A) The ultimate end user for such items is the armed forces, 
police, paramilitary, law enforcement, customs, correctional, fire, or a 
search and rescue agency of a government of one of the countries listed 
in Country Group A:5, or the United States Government;
    (B) For the ``development,'' ``production,'' operation, 
installation, maintenance, repair, overhaul, or refurbishing of an item 
in one of the countries listed in Country Group A:5 or the United States 
that will be for one, or more, of the following purposes:
    (1) Ultimately to be used by any such government agencies in one of 
the countries listed in Country Group A:5 or the United States 
Government; or
    (2) Sent to a person in the United States and not for subsequent 
export under Sec.740.9(b)(1) (License Exception TMP for items moving 
in transit through the United States); or
    (C) The United States Government has otherwise authorized the 
ultimate end use, the license or other authorization is in effect, and 
the consignee verifies in writing that such authorization exists and has 
provided the license or other approval identifier to the exporter, 
reexporter or transferor (as applicable).
    (iii) License Exception STA may not be used to export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) end items described in ECCN 0A606.a, ECCN 8A609.a, 
ECCN 8A620.a or .b, or ECCN 9A610.a until after BIS has approved their 
export under STA under the procedures set out in Sec.740.20(g).
    (iv) License Exception STA may not be used to export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) ``600 series'' items if they are ``600 Series 
Major Defense Equipment'' and the value of such items in the contract 
requiring their export exceeds $25,000,000.

    Note 1 to paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3): Any export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) originally authorized under License Exception STA 
must stay within the scope of the original authorization. For example, 
for ``600 series'' items authorized under License Exception STA, such 
items must be provided to an eligible ultimate end user, such as a 
Country Group A:5 military, to stay in compliance with the original 
authorization. This requirement for the ``600 series'' is referred to as 
'completing the chain,' meaning regardless of how many times the ``600 
series'' item is transferred (in-country) or whether the ``600 series'' 
item is incorporated into higher level assemblies or other items, the 
``600 series'' item must ultimately be provided to an eligible ultimate 
end user, or be otherwise authorized under the EAR. This applies 
regardless of whether the ``600 series'' item has been incorporated into 
a foreign-made item that may no longer be ``subject to the EAR.'' 
Because the other items eligible for authorization under License 
Exception STA (9x515 and other non-600 series ECCNs) do not include the 
``600 series'' requirements specific to ultimate end user, this 
'completing the chain' concept does not apply to 9x515 and other non-600 
series ECCNs authorized under License Exception STA. However, the 
original export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) made under License 
Exception STA for 9x515 and other non-600 series ECCNs still must comply 
with the original authorization--meaning the terms and conditions of 
License Exception STA.

    (c) Authorizing paragraphs--(1) Multiple reasons for control. 
Exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) in which the only 
applicable reason(s) for control is (are) national security (NS); 
chemical or biological weapons (CB); nuclear nonproliferation (NP); 
regional stability (RS); crime control (CC), and/or significant items 
(SI) are authorized for destinations in or nationals of

[[Page 334]]

Country Group A:5 (See supplement no.1 to part 740 of the EAR).

    Note to paragraph (c)(1). License Exception STA under Sec.
740.20(c)(1) may be used to authorize the export, reexport, or transfer 
(in-country) of ``600 series'' items only if the purchaser, intermediate 
consignee, ultimate consignee, and end user have previously been 
approved on a license or other approval, i.e., Directorate of Defense 
Trade Controls (DDTC) Manufacturing License Agreement (MLA), Technical 
Assistance Agreement (TAA), Warehouse Distribution Agreement (WDA), or 
General Correspondence approval (GC) issued by BIS or DDTC at the U.S. 
Department of State.

    (2) Controls of lesser sensitivity. Exports, reexports and transfers 
(in-country) in which the only applicable reason for control is national 
security (NS) and the item being exported, reexported or transferred 
(in-country) is not designated in the STA paragraph in the License 
Exception section of the ECCN that lists the item are authorized for 
destinations in or nationals of Country Group A:6 (See supplement no. 1 
to this part).
    (d) Conditions--(1) Requirement to furnish Export Control 
Classification Number. (i) The exporter must furnish to the consignee 
the ECCN of each item to be exported pursuant to this section. Once 
furnished to a particular consignee, the ECCN that applies to any item 
need not be refurnished to that consignee at the time the same exporter 
makes an additional export of the same item, if the information remains 
accurate at the time of the additional export.
    (ii) A reexporter or transferor must furnish to subsequent 
consignees the ECCN, provided by the exporter or a prior reexporter or 
transferor, of each item to be reexported or transferred (in-country) 
pursuant to this section. Once furnished to a particular consignee, the 
ECCN that applies to any item need not be refurnished to that consignee 
at the time the same reexporter or transferor makes an additional 
reexport or transfer (in-country) of the same item, if the information 
remains accurate at the time of the additional reexport or transfer (in-
country).
    (iii) For purposes of determining reexport or transfer eligibility 
under this section, the consignee may rely on the ECCN provided to it by 
the party required to furnish the ECCN under paragraph (d)(1)(i) or (ii) 
of this section unless the consignee knows that the ECCN is incorrect or 
has changed. The word ``knows'' has the same meaning as the term 
``knowledge'' in Sec.772.1 of the EAR.
    (2) Prior Consignee Statement. The requirements in this paragraph 
(d)(2) apply to each party using License Exception STA to export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country), including reexporters and 
transferors of items previously received under License Exception STA. 
The exporter, reexporter, or transferor must obtain the following 
statement in writing from its consignee(s) prior to exporting, 
reexporting, or transferring (in-country) the item and must retain the 
statement in accordance with part 762 of the EAR. One statement may be 
used for multiple exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of the 
same items between the same parties so long as the party names, the 
description(s) of the item(s) and the ECCNs are correct. The exporter, 
reexporter, or transferor must maintain a log or other record (such as 
documents created in the ordinary course of business) that identifies 
each shipment made pursuant to this section and the specific consignee 
statement that is associated with each shipment. For purposes of this 
paragraph (d)(2), a log or other record is not required for intangible 
(i.e., electronic or in an otherwise intangible form) exports, 
reexports, or transfers (in-country) made under License Exception STA, 
but an exporter, reexporter, or transferor is required, prior to making 
any export, reexport, or transfer (in-country), to ensure that a prior 
consignee statement has been obtained pursuant to the requirements of 
this paragraph (d)(2). (See Note 1 to paragraph (d)(3) of this section 
for additional guidance on intangible exports, reexports, and transfers 
(in-country), including best practices). Paragraphs (d)(2)(i) through 
(vi) of this section are required for all transactions. In addition, 
paragraph (d)(2)(vii) is required for all transactions in ``600 series'' 
items and paragraph (viii) of this section is required for transactions 
in ``600 series'' items if the consignee is not the government of a 
country listed in

[[Page 335]]

Country Group A:5 (See supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR). 
Paragraph (d)(2)(viii) is also required for transactions including 9x515 
items.

    Note 1 to paragraph (d)(2): When multiple consignees who form a 
network engaged in a production process (or other type of collaborative 
activity, such as joint development) will be receiving items under 
License Exception STA, a single prior consignee statement for multiple 
consignees may be used for any item eligible for export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) under License Exception STA, provided all of the 
applicable requirements of License Exception STA are met, including 
those specified in paragraph (d)(2).
    Note 2 to paragraph (d)(2): Country Group A:5 and A:6 government 
consignees are not required to sign or provide a prior consignee 
statement.

    (3) Notification to consignee of STA shipment. With each shipment 
under License Exception STA, the exporter (or reexporter or transferor 
as applicable), must notify the consignee in writing that the shipment 
is made pursuant to License Exception STA. The notice must either 
specify which items are subject to License Exception STA or state that 
the entire shipment is made pursuant to License Exception STA. The 
notice must clearly identify the shipment to which it applies. The 
written notice may be conveyed by paper documents or by electronic 
methods such as facsimile or email.

    Note 1 to paragraph (d)(3): While the exporter, reexporter, and 
transferor must furnish the applicable ECCN and obtain a consignee 
statement prior to export, reexport or transfer (in-country) made under 
License Exception STA in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 
(d)(1) and (d)(2) of this section, intangible (i.e., electronic or in an 
otherwise intangible form) exports, reexports, and transfers (in-
country) made under License Exception STA are not subject to the 
notification requirements of paragraph (d)(3) of this section. However, 
any export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) made under STA must stay 
within the scope of the original authorization.


[[Page 336]]


    (4) Requirements for releases of software source code or technology 
within a single country. Instead of the requirement of paragraphs (d)(1) 
through (d)(3) of this section, the party releasing software source code 
or technology to a national of a country listed in Country Group A:5 or 
A:6 (See supplement no. 1 to this part) must notify the recipient of the 
software source code or technology of the restrictions upon further 
release of the software source code or technology. The notification must 
either expressly inform the recipient that the EAR impose limits on 
further disclosure or must be in the form of an agreement in which the 
recipient agrees to limits on further disclosure. Any such agreement 
must impose limits that are equivalent to or more restrictive than all 
limits on further disclosure that are imposed by the EAR. The 
notification must be in writing and a copy of it must be retained by the 
party making the release and the recipient of the release. The 
notification may be in a separate document or included in a document 
such as a contract or a nondisclosure agreement. If the document has an 
expiration date, it must provide that the restrictions on disclosure do 
not expire.
    (e) Limitation on subsequent exports, reexports or in country 
transfers. If a commodity has been exported, reexported or transferred 
in-country pursuant to this section, it may not be subsequently 
exported, reexported or transferred in-country pursuant to paragraphs 
(a) or (b) of License Exception APR (Sec.740.16(a) or (b) of the EAR). 
Paragraphs (a) and (b) of License Exception APR do not authorize exports 
of software or technology.
    (f) Applicability of Wassenaar Arrangement reporting requirements. 
See Sec.743.1 of the EAR for special reporting requirements that apply 
to some exports made pursuant to this section.
    (g) License Exception STA eligibility requests for 9x515 and ``600 
series'' items--(1) Applicability. Any person may request License 
Exception STA eligibility for end items described in ECCN 0A606.a, ECCN 
8A609.a, ECCNs 8A620.a or .b, ``spacecraft'' in ECCNs 9A515.a.1, .a.2, 
.a.3, or .a.4, ``sub-orbital craft,'' or items in 9A515.g, 9A610.a, or 
technology ECCNs 9E515.b, .d, .e, or .f.
    (2) Required information and manner of requests. Requests for 
License Exception STA eligibility must be made via the BIS Simplified 
Network Application Process-Redesign(SNAP-R) system unless BIS 
authorizes submission via the paper BIS-748-P Multipurpose Application 
form. For situations in which BIS 748-P submissions may be authorized, 
see Sec.748.1(d)(1). For required information specific to License 
Exception STA eligibility requests, see supplement no. 1 to part 748, 
Blocks 5 and 6 and supplement no. 2 to part 748, paragraph (w). In SNAP-
R the work type for these applications is ``Export.''
    (3) Timeline for USG review. The Departments of Commerce, Defense 
and State will review License Exception STA eligibility requests in 
accordance with the timelines set forth in Executive Order 12981 and 
Sec.750.4. If the License Exception STA request is approved, the 
process outlined in paragraph (g)(5)(i) of this section is followed.
    (4) Review criteria. The Departments of Commerce, Defense and State 
will determine whether the ``end item'' is eligible for this license 
exception based on an assessment of whether it provides a critical 
military or intelligence advantage to the United States or is otherwise 
available in countries that are not regime partners or close allies. If 
the ``end item'' does not provide a critical military or intelligence 
advantage to the United States or is otherwise available in countries 
that are not regime partners or close allies, the Departments will 
determine that License Exception STA is available unless an overarching 
foreign policy rationale for restricting STA availability can be 
articulated. Consensus among the Departments is required in order for an 
``end item'' to be eligible for License Exception STA. Such 
determinations are made by the departments' representatives to the 
Advisory Committee on Export Policy (ACEP), or their designees.
    (5) Disposition of License Exception STA eligibility requests--(i) 
Approvals. If the request for STA eligibility is approved, the applicant 
will receive notification from BIS authorizing the use of the additional 
License Exception

[[Page 337]]

STA for the specific end items requested. This will be in the form of a 
notice generated by SNAP-R to the applicant. Applicants who receive an 
approval notification may share it with companies affiliated with them, 
such as a branch or distributor, and may also take steps to make it 
public (e.g., on their Web site) if the applicants so wish. In addition, 
BIS will add a description of the approved end item in the relevant ECCN 
and in an online table posted on the BIS Web site, which removes the 
restriction on the use of License Exception STA for the end item 
identified in the approved request. BIS will publish, as needed, a final 
rule adding this license exception eligibility to the EAR for that ECCN 
entry or end item.
    (ii) Denials. If the STA eligibility request is not approved, the 
applicant will receive written notification from BIS. This will be in 
the form of a notice generated by SNAP-R to the applicant. Applicants 
may re-submit STA eligibility requests at any time.

Sec.740.21  Support for the Cuban People (SCP).

    (a) Introduction. This License Exception authorizes certain exports 
and reexports to Cuba that are intended to support the Cuban people by 
improving their living conditions and supporting independent economic 
activity; strengthening civil society in Cuba; and improving the free 
flow of information to, from, and among the Cuban people.
    (b) Improving living conditions and supporting independent economic 
activity. This paragraph authorizes the export or reexport to Cuba of 
items designated as EAR99, or controlled on the Commerce Control List 
(CCL) (supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR) only for anti-terrorism 
reasons (i.e., anti-terrorism must be the only reason for control that 
applies to the item as set forth in the Export Control Classification 
Number (ECCN) that controls the item). If any other reason for control 
applies to the item, it is not authorized for export or reexport by this 
paragraph. The item must be within one or more of the following 
categories:
    (1) Items for use by the Cuban private sector for private sector 
economic activities, except for items that would be used to:
    (i) Primarily generate revenue for the state; or
    (ii) Contribute to the operation of the state, including through the 
construction or renovation of state-owned buildings.
    (2) Items sold directly to individuals in Cuba for their personal 
use or their immediate family's personal use, other than officials 
identified in paragraphs (d)(4)(ii) or (iii) of this section.
    (2) Items sold directly to individuals in Cuba for their personal 
use or their immediate family's personal use, other than officials 
identified in paragraphs (d)(4)(ii) or (iii) of this section.
    (c) Strengthening civil society. This paragraph authorizes the 
export or reexport to Cuba of certain items for use in specified 
activities that can strengthen civil society. The items authorized 
pursuant this paragraph are limited to those designated as EAR99 or 
controlled only for anti-terrorism reasons on the CCL (i.e., anti-
terrorism must be the only reason for control that applies to the item 
as set forth in the ECCN that controls the item). If any other reason 
for control applies to the item, it is not authorized for export or 
reexport by this paragraph. The export or reexport must be within one or 
more of the following categories:
    (1) The export or reexport to Cuba of donated items for use in 
scientific, archaeological, cultural, ecological, educational, historic 
preservation, or sporting activities. The items may not be donated to 
organizations administered or controlled by the Cuban government or 
communist party, and must support eligible activities independent of the 
Cuban government and communist party. The activities may not relate to 
the ``development,'' ``production,'' ``use,'' operation, installation, 
maintenance, repair, overhaul or refurbishing of any item enumerated or 
otherwise described on the United States Munitions List (22 CFR part 
121) or of

[[Page 338]]

any item enumerated or otherwise described on the Commerce Control List 
(supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR) unless the only reason for 
control that applies to that item, as set forth in the ECCN that 
controls that item, is anti-terrorism.
    (2) The temporary export or reexport to Cuba of items by travelers 
to Cuba for the travelers' use in scientific, archeological, cultural, 
ecological, educational, historic preservation, or sporting activities, 
or professional meetings or research. The following requirements apply:
    (i) The research must be directly related to traveler's profession, 
professional background or area of expertise, including area of 
graduate-level full-time study.
    (ii) The activities or research may not relate to the 
``development,'' ``production,'' ``use,'' operation, installation, 
maintenance, repair, overhaul or refurbishing of any item enumerated or 
otherwise described on the United States Munitions List (22 CFR part 
121) or of any item enumerated or otherwise described on the Commerce 
Control List (supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR) unless the only 
reason for control that applies to that item as set forth in the ECCN 
that controls that item is anti-terrorism.
    (iii) The items must remain under the traveler's ``effective 
control'' while in Cuba.
    (iv) Items authorized for temporary export by this paragraph must be 
returned to the United States within two years of the date of export 
from the United States unless:
    (A) The items are consumed in Cuba; or
    (B) The exporter applies for and receives a license from BIS, prior 
to the expiration of the two year period, authorizing the items to 
remain in Cuba for longer than two years.
    (v) Paragraph (c)(2) of this section does not authorize exports if, 
at the time of the export, the exporter has ``knowledge'' that the item 
exported will remain in Cuba for more than two years.
    (3) The export or reexport to Cuba of items to human rights 
organizations, individuals or non-governmental organizations that 
promote independent activity intended to strengthen civil society.
    (d) Improving communications. This paragraph authorizes the export 
or reexport to Cuba of certain items intended to improve the free flow 
of information to, from, and among the Cuban people. The items 
authorized pursuant to this paragraph are limited to those designated as 
EAR99 or controlled only for anti-terrorism reasons on the CCL (i.e., 
anti-terrorism must be the only reason for control that applies to the 
item as set forth in the ECCN that controls the item). If any other 
reason for control applies to the item, it is not authorized for export 
or reexport by this paragraph. The export or reexport must be within one 
or more of the following categories:
    (1) The export or reexport to Cuba of items for the creation and 
upgrade of telecommunications infrastructure to improve the free flow of 
information to, from, and among the Cuban people, including 
infrastructure that enables access to the internet and use of internet 
services. For infrastructure items that would be used to connect 
specific end users, those items may be used to connect individual Cubans 
or the Cuban private sector only (e.g., not Cuban government ministries 
or state-owned enterprises).
    (2) The export or reexport to Cuba of items for use by news media 
personnel engaged in the gathering and dissemination of news to the 
general public and who are:
    (i) Regularly employed as journalists by a news reporting 
organization;
    (ii) Regularly employed as supporting broadcast or technical

[[Page 339]]

entities to develop software that will improve the free flow of

in paragraph (b) of this section. The following are ineligible end-
users:
    (i) The Cuban Government or the Cuban Communist Party and 
organizations they administer or control;
    (ii) Ministers and Vice-Ministers; members of the Council of State; 
members of the Council of Ministers; members and employees of the 
National Assembly of People's Power; members of any provincial assembly; 
local sector chiefs of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution; 
Director Generals and sub-Director Generals and higher of all Cuban 
ministries and state agencies; employees of the Ministry of the Interior 
(MININT); employees of the Ministry of Defense (MINFAR); secretaries and 
first secretaries of the Confederation of Labor of Cuba (CTC) and its 
component unions; chief editors, editors and deputy editors of Cuban 
state-run media organizations and programs, including newspapers, 
television, and radio; or members and employees of the Supreme Court 
(Tribuno Supremo Nacional); and
    (iii) Members of the Politburo.
    (e) Facilitating engagement, communications, and commerce. This 
paragraph (e) authorizes the export or reexport to Cuba of certain items 
intended to facilitate engagement between the U.S. and Cuban people; the 
free flow of information to, from, and among the Cuban people; and 
independent economic activity in Cuba. The export or reexport must be 
within one or more of the following categories:
    (1) The export or reexport to Cuba of items for use by persons 
authorized by the Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets 
Control (OFAC) to establish and maintain a physical or business presence 
in Cuba pursuant to 31 CFR 515.573 or pursuant to a specific license 
issued by OFAC. The items authorized pursuant to this paragraph (e)(1) 
are limited to those designated as EAR99 (i.e., items subject to the EAR 
but not specified in any ECCN) or controlled on the CCL only for anti-
terrorism reasons.
    (2) [Reserved]

    Note to paragraph (e): Any resulting payments associated with 
establishing or maintaining a physical or business presence in Cuba, 
such as lease payments, are permitted only to the extent authorized by 
31 CFR 515.573 or a specific license issued by OFAC.

    (f) Temporary exports and reexports to Cuba. This paragraph (f) 
authorizes the export or reexport to Cuba, for periods not exceeding one 
year, of certain items designated as EAR99 or controlled only for anti-
terrorism reasons on the CCL (i.e., anti-terrorism must be the only 
reason for control that applies to the item as set forth in the ECCN 
that controls the item). If any other reason for control applies to the 
item, it is not authorized for export or reexport by this paragraph. 
This paragraph does not authorize any transaction if the exporter or 
reexporter has ``knowledge'' that the item is intended to remain in Cuba 
for more than one year; if an order to acquire the item, such as a 
purchase order, has been received before shipment; or when the item is 
for subsequent lease or rental. The export or reexport must be within 
one or more of the following categories.
    (1) Tools of trade--commodities and software. Commodities or 
software to be used by the exporter or reexporter or its employees for 
the installation, servicing or repair of items that are subject to the 
EAR and that have been exported or reexported to Cuba under a license or 
license exception, or foreign-origin items that are not subject to the 
EAR that are owned and used exclusively by private sector entities in 
Cuba, may be exported or reexported under this paragraph (f). The 
commodities or software must remain under the ``effective control'' of 
the exporter or reexporter or its employees. Examples of security 
precautions to help prevent unauthorized access include the following:
    (i) Use of secure connections, such as Virtual Private Network 
connections, when accessing IT networks for activities that involve the 
transmission and use of the software authorized under this license 
exception;
    (ii) Use of password systems on electronic devices that store the 
software authorized under this license exception; and

[[Page 340]]

    (iii) Use of personal firewalls on electronic devices that store the 
software authorized under this license exception.
    (2) Tools of trade--technology. Technology to be used by a 'U.S. 
person' exporter or reexporter or its employees who are traveling to or 
on temporary assignment in Cuba for the installation, servicing or 
repair of items that are subject to the EAR and that have been exported 
or reexported to Cuba under a license or license exception, or foreign-
origin items that are not subject to the EAR that are owned and used 
exclusively by private sector entities in Cuba, may be exported or 
reexported under this paragraph (f). For purposes of this paragraph 
(f)(2), a 'U.S. person' is: an individual who is a citizen of the United 
States, an individual who is ``lawfully admitted for permanent 
residence'' in the United States as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(20) or 
an individual who is a protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 
1324b(a)(3). 'U.S. person' also means any juridical person organized 
under the laws of the United States, or any jurisdiction within the 
United States (e.g., corporation, business association, partnership, 
society, trust, or any other entity, organization or group that is 
authorized to do business in the United States). If the employee who 
will use the technology is not a 'U.S. person,' the release of that 
technology to that employee must either not require a license or be 
authorized by a license or a license exception other than this section 
before it may be exported or reexported to that employee under this 
paragraph. The exporter or reexporter and the recipient of the 
technology must take security precautions to protect against 
unauthorized release of the technology while the technology is being 
shipped or transmitted and used overseas. Examples of security 
precautions to help prevent unauthorized access include the following:
    (i) Use of secure connections, such as Virtual Private Network 
connections, when accessing IT networks for email and other business 
activities that involve the transmission and use of the technology 
authorized under this license exception;
    (ii) Use of password systems on electronic devices that will store 
the technology authorized under this license exception; and
    (iii) Use of personal firewalls on electronic devices that will 
store the technology authorized under this license exception.
    (3) Kits of replacement ``parts'' or ``components.'' Kits consisting 
of replacement ``parts'' or ``components'' for items that have been 
exported or reexported to Cuba under a license or license exception, or 
foreign-origin items that are not subject to the EAR that are owned and 
used exclusively by private sector entities in Cuba, may be exported or 
reexported under this paragraph (f)(3) provided:
    (i) The kits remain under ``effective control'' of the exporter or 
reexporter or its employees; and
    (ii) All parts and components in the kit are returned, except that 
one-for-one replacements may be made in accordance with the requirements 
of License Exception Servicing and Replacement of Parts and Equipment 
(RPL) and the defective parts and components returned (see Parts, 
Components, Accessories and Attachments in Sec.740.10(a)).
    (4) Exhibition and demonstration. Commodities or software for 
exhibition or demonstration at trade shows, or to any entity that would 
be eligible to receive the commodities or software under paragraphs (a) 
through (e) of this section, may be exported or reexported under this 
paragraph (f). The commodities or software must remain under the 
``effective control'' of the exporter or reexporter or its private 
sector agent, may not be exhibited or demonstrated at any one location 
for more than 30 days and may not be used for more than the minimum 
extent required for effective exhibition or demonstration.
    (5) Containers. Containers that would require a license for export 
or reexport to Cuba but that are necessary for shipment of commodities 
being exported to Cuba under a license or license exception may be 
exported or reexported to Cuba. However, this paragraph (f) does not 
authorize the export of the container's contents, which, if not exempt 
from licensing, must be

[[Page 341]]

separately authorized for export or reexport under either a license or a 
license exception.

Sec.742.1  Introduction.

    In this part, references to the Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR) are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C.
    (a) Scope. This part describes all the reasons for control reflected 
in the Country Chart in supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR. In 
addition, it includes licensing requirements and licensing policies for 
the following items that are not reflected on the Country Chart: 
specially designed implements

[[Page 346]]

of torture, high performance computers, and communications intercepting 
devices. In addition to describing the reasons for control and licensing 
requirements and policies, this part describes any applicable contract 
sanctity provisions that may apply to specific controls and includes a 
description of any multilateral regime under which specific controls are 
maintained.
    (b) Reasons for control listed on the CCL not covered by this part. 
This part describes the license requirements and the licensing policies 
for all the ``Reasons for Control'' that are listed on the Commerce 
Control List (CCL) except ``Short Supply'' and ``U.N. Sanctions,'' which 
do not appear on the Country Chart.
    (1) Short supply. ECCNs containing items subject to short supply 
controls (``SS'') refer the exporter to part 754 of the EAR. These ECCNs 
are: 0A980 (Horses for export by sea); 1C980 (certain inorganic 
chemicals); 1C982 (certain other petroleum products); 1C983 (certain 
natural gas liquids and other natural gas derivatives); 1C984 (certain 
manufactured gas and synthetic natural gas (except when commingled with 
natural gas and thus subject to export authorization from the Department 
of Energy); and 1C988 (Unprocessed western red cedar (thuja plicata) 
logs and timber, and rough, dressed and worked lumber containing wane).
    (2) U.N. Sanctions. The United Nations imposes sanctions, short of 
complete embargoes, against certain countries which may result in 
controls that supplement those otherwise maintained under the EAR for 
that particular country. This part does not address license requirements 
and licensing policies for controls implementing U.N. sanctions. CCL 
entries containing items subject to U.N. sanctions will refer the 
exporter to part 746 of the EAR, Embargoes and Other Special Controls, 
for any supplemental controls that may apply to exports and reexports 
involving these countries.
    (c) Exports and reexports involving Cuba and Iran. This part does 
not cover license requirements and licensing policies that apply to 
exports and reexports to embargoed destinations (Cuba and Iran). These 
comprehensive embargoes cover a broader range of items than those 
reflected in the CCL. If you are exporting or reexporting to any of 
these destinations, you should first review part 746 of the EAR, 
Embargoes and Other Special Controls.
    (d) Anti-terrorism Controls on Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria. 
Commerce maintains anti-terrorism controls on Iran, North Korea, Syria 
and Sudan under section 6(a) of the Export Administration Act. Items 
controlled under section 6(a) to Iran, Syria, Sudan, and North Korea are 
described in Sec. Sec.742.8, 742.9, 742.10, and 742.19, respectively, 
and in supplement no. 2 to part 742. Commerce also maintains controls 
under section 6(j) of the EAA to Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria. 
Items controlled to these countries under EAA section 6(j) are also 
described in supplement 2 to part 742. The Secretaries of Commerce and 
State are required to notify appropriate Committees of the Congress 30 
days before issuing a license for an item controlled under section 6(j) 
to North Korea, Iran, Sudan or Syria. If you are exporting or 
reexporting to Iran, North Korea, or Syria, you should review part 746 
of the EAR, Embargoes and Other Special Controls.
    (e) End-user and end-use based controls. This part does not cover 
prohibitions and licensing requirements for exports of items not 
included on the CCL that are subject to end-use and end-user controls: 
certain nuclear end-uses; certain missile end-uses; certain chemical and 
biological weapons end-uses; certain naval nuclear propulsion end-uses; 
certain activities of U.S. persons; and certain exports to and for the 
use of certain foreign vessels and aircraft. Licensing requirements and 
policies for these exports are contained in part 744 of the EAR.
    (f) Overlapping license policies. Many items on the CCL are subject 
to more than one type of control (e.g., national security (NS), missile 
technology (MT), nuclear nonproliferation (NP), regional stability 
(RS)). In addition, applications for all items on the CCL, other than 
those controlled for short supply reasons, may be reviewed for missile 
technology (see Sec.742.5(b)(3) of this part), nuclear 
nonproliferation (see Sec.742.3(b)(2) of this part), or chemical and 
biological weapons (see Sec.742.2(b)(3)

[[Page 347]]

of this part), if the end-use or end-user may be involved in certain 
proliferation activities. Finally, many multilaterally controlled items 
are reviewed for anti-terrorism reasons if they are destined for a 
terrorism-supporting country (see paragraph (d) of this section). Your 
application for a license will be reviewed under all applicable 
licensing policies. A license will be issued only if an application can 
be approved under all applicable licensing policies.

having the characteristics of those described in ECCN 2B350.g.
    (xi) Technology identified in ECCN 2E201 or 2E290 for the use of 
valves controlled by ECCN 2A226 having the characteristics of those 
described in 2B350.g.
    (3) If CB Column 3 of the Country Chart (supplement no. 1 to part 
738 of the EAR) is indicated in the appropriate ECCN, a license is 
required to Country Group D:3 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the 
EAR) for medical products identified in ECCN 1C991.d.
    (4) A license is required, to States not Party to the CWC 
(destinations not listed in supplement no. 2 to part 745 of the EAR), 
for mixtures controlled by 1C395.a and test kits controlled by 1C395.b.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) License applications for the items 
described in paragraph (a) of this section will be considered on a case-
by-case basis to determine whether the export or reexport would make a 
material contribution to the design, development, production, 
stockpiling or use of chemical or biological weapons. When an export or 
reexport is deemed to make such a material contribution, the license 
will be denied. When an export or reexport is intended to be used in a 
chemical weapons or biological weapons program, or for chemical or 
biological weapons terrorism purposes, it is deemed to make a material 
contribution. The factors listed in paragraph (b)(2) of this section are 
among those that will be considered to determine what action should be 
taken on license applications for these items.
    (2) The following factors are among those that will be considered to 
determine what action should be taken on license applications for the 
items described in paragraph (a) of this section:
    (i) The specific nature of the end-use, including the 
appropriateness of the stated end-use;
    (ii) The significance of the export and reexport in terms of its 
potential contribution to the design, development, production, 
stockpiling, or use of chemical or biological weapons;
    (iii) The nonproliferation credentials of the importing country, 
including the importing country's chemical and biological capabilities 
and objectives;
    (iv) The extent and effectiveness of the export control system in 
the importing country and in any intermediary country through which the 
items being exported or reexported will transit or be transshipped en 
route to the importing country;
    (v) The risk that the items will be diverted for use in a chemical 
weapons or biological weapons program, or for chemical weapons or 
biological weapons terrorism purposes;
    (vi) The reliability of the parties to the transaction, including 
whether:
    (A) An export or reexport license application involving any such 
parties has previously been denied;

[[Page 349]]

    (B) Any such parties have been engaged in clandestine or illegal 
procurement activities;
    (C) The end-user is capable of securely handling and storing the 
items to be exported or reexported;
    (vii) Relevant information about proliferation and terrorism 
activities, including activities involving the design, development, 
production, stockpiling, or use of chemical or biological weapons by any 
parties to the transaction;
    (viii) The types of assurances or guarantees against the design, 
development, production, stockpiling, or use of chemical or biological 
weapons that are given in a particular case, including any relevant 
assurances provided by the importing country or the end-user;
    (ix) The applicability of other multilateral export control or 
nonproliferation agreements (e.g., the Chemical Weapons Convention and 
the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention) to the transaction; and
    (x) The existence of a pre-existing contract.
    (3) BIS will review license applications in accordance with the 
licensing policy described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section for items 
not described in paragraph (a) of this section that:
    (i) Require a license for reasons other than short supply; and
    (ii) Could be destined for the design, development, production, 
stockpiling, or use of chemical or biological weapons, or for a facility 
engaged in such activities.
    (4) License applications for items described in paragraph (a) of 
this section, when destined for the People's Republic of China will be 
reviewed in accordance with the licensing policies in both paragraph (b) 
of this section and Sec.742.4(b)(7). When such items are destined to 
Russia, license applications will be reviewed under a presumption of 
denial.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity dates are set forth in 
supplement no. 1 to part 742. Applicants who wish that a preexisting 
contract be considered in reviewing their license applications must 
submit documentation sufficient to establish the existence of such a 
contract.
    (d) Australia Group. The Australia Group, a multilateral body that 
works to halt the spread of chemical and biological weapons, has 
developed common control lists of items specifically related to chemical 
and biological weapons. Australia Group members are listed in Country 
Group A:3 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR). Controls on 
items listed in paragraph (a) of this section are consistent with lists 
agreed to in the Australia Group.
    (e) License application requirements and instructions. Unique 
application and submission requirements for chemicals, medicinals, and 
pharmaceuticals are described in paragraph (a) of supplement no. 2 to 
part 748 of the EAR.

742.2, see the List of CFR Sections Affected, which appears in the 
Finding Aids section of the printed volume and at www.govinfo.gov.



Sec.742.3  Nuclear nonproliferation.

    (a) License requirements. Section 309(c) of the Nuclear Non-
Proliferation Act of 1978 requires BIS to identify items subject to the 
EAR that could be of significance for nuclear explosive purposes if used 
for activities other than those authorized at the time of export or 
reexport. ECCNs on the CCL that include the symbol ``NP 1'' or ``NP 2'' 
in the ``Country Chart'' column of the ``License Requirements'' section 
identify items that could be of significance for nuclear explosive 
purposes and are therefore subject to licensing requirements under this 
part and under section 309(c) of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 
1978. These items are referred to as ``The Nuclear Referral List'' and 
are subject to the following licensing requirements:
    (1) If NP Column 1 of the Country Chart (supplement no. 1 to part 
738 of the EAR) is indicated in the appropriate ECCN, a license is 
required to all destinations, except those Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) 
member countries that are listed under Country Group A:4 in supplement 
no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR.
    (2) If NP Column 2 of the Country Chart (supplement no. 1 to part 
738 of the EAR) is indicated in the applicable

[[Page 350]]

ECCN, a license is required to Country Group D:2 (see supplement no. 1 
to part 740 of the EAR).
    (3) Other nuclear-related license requirements are described in 
Sec. Sec.744.2 and 744.5 of the EAR.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) To implement the controls in paragraph (a) 
of this section, the following factors are among those used to determine 
what action should be taken on individual applications:
    (i) Whether the items to be transferred are appropriate for the 
stated end-use and whether that stated end-use is appropriate for the 
end-user;
    (ii) The significance for nuclear purposes of the particular item;
    (iii) Whether the items to be exported or reexported are to be used 
in research on, or for the development, design, manufacture, 
construction, operation, or maintenance of, any reprocessing or 
enrichment facility;
    (iv) The types of assurances or guarantees given against use for 
nuclear explosive purposes or proliferation in the particular case;
    (v) Whether any party to the transaction has been engaged in 
clandestine or illegal procurement activities;
    (vi) Whether an application for a license to export or reexport to 
the end-user has previously been denied, or whether the end-user has 
previously diverted items received under a general license, a License 
Exception, or a validated license to unauthorized activities;
    (vii) Whether the export or reexport would present an unacceptable 
risk of diversion to a nuclear explosive activity or unsafeguarded 
nuclear fuel-cycle activity described in Sec.744.2(a) of the EAR;
    (viii) The nonproliferation credentials of the importing country, 
based on consideration of the following factors:
    (A) Whether the importing country is a party to the Nuclear Non-
Proliferation Treaty (NPT) or to the Treaty for the Prohibition of 
Nuclear Weapons in Latin America (Treaty of Tlatelolco) or to a similar 
international legally-binding nuclear nonproliferation agreement;
    (B) Whether the importing country has all of its nuclear activities, 
facilities, or installations that are operational, being designed, or 
under construction under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 
safeguards or equivalent full scope safeguards;
    (C) Whether there is an agreement for cooperation in the civil uses 
of atomic energy between the U.S. and the importing country;
    (D) Whether the actions, statements, and policies of the government 
of the importing country are in support of nuclear nonproliferation and 
whether that government is in compliance with its international 
obligations in the field of non-proliferation;
    (E) The degree to which the government of the importing country 
cooperates in non-proliferation policy generally (e.g., willingness to 
consult on international nonproliferation issues); and
    (F) Information on the importing country's nuclear intentions and 
activities; and
    (ix) Whether the recipient state has sufficient national export 
controls (as described in paragraph 3 of United Nations Security Council 
Resolution 1540 (2004)) to prevent an unacceptable risk of retransfer or 
diversion to a nuclear explosive activity or unsafeguarded nuclear fuel-
cycle activity described in Sec.744.2(a) of the EAR.
    (2) In addition, BIS will review license applications in accordance 
with the licensing policy described in paragraph (b) of this section for 
items not on the Nuclear Referral List that:
    (i) Require a license on the CCL for reasons other than ``short 
supply;'' and
    (ii) Are intended for a nuclear related end-use or end-user.
    (3) For the People's Republic of China, the general licensing policy 
for applications for those items that would make a direct and 
significant contribution to nuclear weapons and their delivery systems 
is extended review or denial.
    (4) License applications for items described in paragraph (a) of 
this section, when destined for the People's Republic of China will be 
reviewed in accordance with the licensing policies in both paragraph (b) 
of this section and Sec.742.4(b)(7). When such items are destined to 
Russia, license applications will be reviewed under a presumption

[[Page 351]]

of denial. However, exports and reexports of items to Russia in support 
of U.S.-Russia civil space cooperation activities or commercial space 
launches will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity provisions are not 
available for license applications reviewed under this section.
    (d) Nuclear Suppliers Group. Most items on the Nuclear Referral List 
that require a license under NP Column No. 1 on the Country Chart (see 
supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR) are contained in the Annex to 
the ``Guidelines for Transfers of Nuclear-Related Dual-Use Equipment, 
Material, and Related Technology'' (the Annex), as published by the 
International Atomic Energy Agency in INFCIRC/254/Revision 1/Part 2. The 
adherents to INFCIRC/254/Revision 1/Part 2, which includes the Nuclear 
Suppliers Guidelines, have agreed to establish export licensing 
procedures for the transfer of items identified in the Annex. Items that 
are listed as requiring a license under NP Column No. 2 on the Country 
Chart (see supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR) are not included in 
the Annex and are controlled only by the United States.

Sec.742.4  National security.

    (a) License requirements. It is the policy of the United States to 
restrict the export and reexport of items that would make a significant 
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. Accordingly, a license is required for 
exports and reexports to all destinations, except Canada, for all items 
in ECCNs on the CCL that include NS Column 1 in the Country Chart column 
of the ``License Requirements'' section. A license is required to all 
destinations except those in Country Group A:1 (see supplement no. 1 to 
part 740 of the EAR), for all items in ECCNs on the CCL that include NS 
column 2 in the Commerce Country Chart column of the ``License 
Requirements'' section except those cameras in ECCN 6A003.b.4.b that 
have a focal plane array with 111,000 or fewer elements and a frame rate 
of 60 Hz or less. A license is required to all destinations except those 
in Country Group A:1 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740) for those 
cameras in ECCN 6A003.b.4.b that have a focal plane array with 111,000 
or fewer elements and a frame rate of 60 Hz or less and for cameras 
being exported or reexported pursuant to an authorization described in 
Sec.742.6(a)(2)(iii) or (v) of the EAR. The purpose of the controls is 
to ensure that these items do not make a contribution to the military 
potential of countries in Country Group D:1 (see supplement no. 1 to 
part 740 of the EAR) that would prove detrimental to the national 
security of the United States. License Exception GBS is available for 
the export and reexport of certain national security controlled items to 
Country Group B (see Sec.740.4 and supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the 
EAR).
    (b) Licensing policy. (1)(i) The 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 applications unless there is a significant risk that the items 
will be diverted to a country in Country Group D:1.
    (ii) When destined to a country listed in Country Group D:5 in 
supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR, however, items classified under 
9x515 or ``600 series'' ECCNs will be reviewed consistent with United 
States arms embargo policies in Sec.126.1 of the ITAR.
    (iii) When destined to the People's Republic of China or a country 
listed in Country Group E:1 in supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR, 
items classified under any 9x515 ECCN will be subject to a policy of 
denial.
    (2) Except for those countries described in paragraphs (b)(5) 
through (b)(7) of this section, the general policy for exports and 
reexports of items to Country Group D:1 (see supplement no. 1 to part 
740 of the EAR) is to approve 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

[[Page 352]]

military potential of the country of destination that would prove 
detrimental to the national security of the United States.
    (3) To permit such policy judgments to be made, each application is 
reviewed in the light of prevailing policies with full consideration of 
all aspects of the proposed transaction. The review generally includes:
    (i) An analysis of the kinds and quantities of items to be shipped;
    (ii) Their military or civilian uses;
    (iii) The unrestricted availability abroad of the same or comparable 
items;
    (iv) The country of destination;
    (v) The ultimate end-users in the country of destination; and
    (vi) The intended end-use.
    (4) Although each proposed transaction is considered individually, 
items described in Advisory Notes on the Commerce Control List are more 
likely to be approved than others.
    (5) In recognition of efforts made to adopt safeguard measures for 
exports and reexports, Kazakhstan and Mongolia are accorded enhanced 
favorable consideration licensing treatment.
    (6) The general policy for Cambodia and Laos is to approve license 
applications when BIS determines, on a case-by-case basis, that the 
items are for an authorized use in Cambodia or Laos and are not likely 
to be diverted to another country or use contrary to the national 
security or foreign policy controls of the United States.
    (7)(i) For the People's Republic of China (PRC), Venezuela, and the 
Russian Federation, all applications will be reviewed to determine the 
risk of diversion to a military end user or military end use. There is a 
general policy of approval for license applications to export, reexport, 
or transfer items determined to be for civil end users for civil end 
uses. There is a presumption of denial for license applications to 
export, reexport, or transfer items that would make a material 
contribution to the ``development,'' ``production,'' maintenance, 
repair, or operation of weapons systems, subsystems, and assemblies, 
such as, but not limited to, those described in supplement no. 7 to part 
742 of the EAR, of the PRC, Venezuela, or the Russian Federation.
    (ii) The following factors are among those that will be considered 
in reviewing license applications described in paragraph (b)(7)(i) of 
this section:
    (A) The appropriateness of the export, reexport, or transfer for the 
stated end use;
    (B) The significance of the item for the weapons systems 
capabilities of the importing country;
    (C) Whether any party is a `military end user' as defined in Sec.
744.21(g) of the EAR;
    (D) The reliability of the parties to the transaction, including 
whether:
    (1) An export or reexport license application has previously been 
denied;
    (2) Any parties are or have been engaged in unlawful procurement or 
diversion activities;
    (3) The parties are capable of securely handling and storing the 
items; and
    (4) End-use checks have been and may be conducted by BIS or another 
U.S. government agency on parties to the transaction;
    (E) The involvement of any party to the transaction in military 
activities, including activities involving the ``development,'' 
``production,'' maintenance, repair, or operation of weapons systems, 
subsystems, and assemblies;
    (F) Government strategies and policies that support the diversion of 
exports from their stated civil end use and redirection towards military 
end use; and
    (G) The scope and effectiveness of the export control system in the 
importing country.
    (iii) The review will also include an assessment of the impact of a 
proposed export of an item on the United States defense industrial base 
and the denial of an application for a license that would have a 
significant negative impact, as defined in section 1756(d)(3) of the 
Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (50 U.S.C. 4815(d)(3)), on such 
defense industrial base.
    (8) For India, there is a general policy of approval for license 
applications to export, reexport, or transfer items, including ``600 
series'' items, for civil or military end uses in India, for ultimate 
end use by the Government of India, for reexport to countries in Country 
Group A:5, or for return to the

[[Page 353]]

United States, so long as such items are not for use in nuclear, 
``missile,'' or chemical or biological weapons activities.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity provisions are not 
available for license applications reviewed under this section.
    (d) [Reserved]

Sec.742.5  Missile technology.

    (a) License requirements. (1) In support of U.S. foreign policy to 
limit the proliferation of missiles, a license is required to export and 
reexport items related to the design, development, production, or use of 
missiles. These items are identified in ECCNs on the CCL as MT Column 
No. 1 in the Country Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' 
section. Licenses for these items are required to all destinations, 
except Canada, as indicated by MT Column 1 of the Country Chart (see 
supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR).
    (2) The term ``missiles'' is defined as rocket systems (including 
ballistic missiles, space launch vehicles, and sounding rockets) and 
unmanned aerial vehicle systems (including cruise missiles, target 
drones, and reconnaissance drones) capable of delivering at least 500 
kilograms (kg) payload to a range of at least 300 kilometers (km). See 
Sec.746.3 of the EAR for definition of a ``ballistic missile'' to be 
exported or reexported to Iraq.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) Applications to export and reexport items 
identified in ECCNs on the CCL as MT Column No. 1 in the Country Chart 
column of the ``License Requirements'' section will be considered on a 
case-by-case basis to determine whether the export or reexport would 
make a material contribution to the proliferation of missiles. 
Applications for exports and reexports of such items contained in 
Category 7A or described by ECCN 9A101 on the CCL will be considered 
more favorably if such exports or reexports are determined to be 
destined to a manned aircraft, satellite, land vehicle, or marine 
vessel, in quantities appropriate for replacement parts for such 
applications. When an export or reexport is deemed to make a material 
contribution to the proliferation of missiles, the license will be 
denied.
    (2) The following factors are among those that will be considered in 
reviewing individual applications.
    (i) The specific nature of the end-use;
    (ii) The significance of the export and reexport in terms of its 
contribution to the design, development, production, or use of missiles;
    (iii) The capabilities and objectives of the missile and space 
programs of the recipient country;
    (iv) The nonproliferation credentials of the importing country;
    (v) The types of assurances or guarantees against design, 
development, production, or use of missiles that are given in a 
particular case; and
    (vi) The existence of a preexisting contract.
    (3)(i) Consistent with the MTCR Annex General Minimum Software Note, 
MTCR Annex General Technology Note and Sec.750.7(c)(1)(x) of the EAR, 
the approval of any item controlled for MT reasons on a BIS license also 
authorizes the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to the same 
ultimate consignee(s) and end user(s) specified on the license of the 
minimum ``software,'' excluding source code, controlled for MT reasons 
that is required for the installation, operation, maintenance or repair 
of the item and the ``technology'' required for the installation, 
operation, maintenance, or repair of the item in order to ensure the 
item's safe operation as originally intended. The approval of any item 
controlled for MT reasons on a BIS license also authorizes the later 
export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of ``software'' controlled 
for MT reasons intended to correct defects (bug fixes) in a previously 
legally exported item under a BIS license to the same ultimate 
consignee(s) and end user(s) specified on the license, provided that the 
capability and/or performance of the item are not otherwise enhanced. 
This MT licensing policy is implemented concurrent with Sec.
750.7(c)(1)(x) because

[[Page 354]]

it applies to all MT licenses, except when a condition is placed on the 
license which excludes the use of Sec.750.7(c)(1)(x), as described in 
paragraph (b)(3)(ii) of this section.
    (ii) Applicants are not required to identify or provide any support 
documentation for such minimum ``software'' or ``technology'' on a 
license application for MT controlled items because such minimum 
``software'' or ``technology'' is authorized within the scope of the 
license, consistent with Sec.750.7(c)(1)(x). Applicants will be 
informed when such minimum ``software'' and/or ``technology'' in Sec.
750.7(c)(1)(x) is excluded from the license by a BIS condition on the 
license, which will state the following: ``This license does not 
authorize the export, reexport or transfer (in-country) of the minimum 
``software'' and/or ``technology'' specified in paragraph (c)(1)(x) of 
Sec.750.7 (See paragraph (b)(3) of Sec.742.5).''

    Note to paragraph (b)(3): License Exception TSU under Sec.740.13 
of the EAR is available for the ECCNs controlled for MT reasons 
specified in paragraph (a)(5) in Sec.740.2, provided the software or 
technology is for an end use specified in that paragraph and meets the 
requirements of License Exception TSU. (See Sec. Sec.740.2(a)(5) and 
740.13). The licensing policy in paragraph (b)(3) is only available for 
licensed exports (or reexports, or transfers (in-country)).

    (4) Controls on other items. BIS will review license applications, 
in accordance with the licensing policy described in paragraph (b)(1) of 
this section, for items not described in paragraph (a) of this section 
that:
    (i) Require a validated license for reasons other than short supply; 
and
    (ii) Could be destined for the design, development, production, or 
use of missiles, or for a facility engaged in such activities.
    (5) License applications for items described in paragraph (a) of 
this section, when destined for the People's Republic of China, will be 
reviewed in accordance with the licensing policies in both paragraph (b) 
of this section and Sec.742.4(b)(7). When such items are destined to 
Russia, license applications will be reviewed under a presumption of 
denial. However, exports and reexports of items to Russia in support of 
U.S.-Russia civil space cooperation activities or commercial space 
launches will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
    (c) Contract sanctity. The following contract sanctity dates have 
been established:
    (1) License applications for batch mixers specified in ECCN 1B117 
involving contracts that were entered into prior to January 19, 1990, 
will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
    (2) License applications subject to ECCN 1B115.b or .c that involve 
a contract entered into prior to March 7, 1991, will be considered on a 
case-by-case basis.
    (3) Applicants who wish that a pre-existing contract be considered 
in reviewing their license applications must submit documentation 
sufficient to establish the existence of a contract.
    (d) Missile Technology Control Regime. Missile Technology Control 
Regime (MTCR) members are listed in Country Group A:2 (see supplement 
no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR). Controls on items identified in paragraph 
(a) of this section are consistent with the list agreed to in the MTCR 
and included in the MTCR Annex.

Sec.742.6  Regional stability.

    (a) License requirements. The following controls are maintained in 
support of U.S. foreign policy to maintain regional stability:
    (1) RS Column 1 license requirements in general. A license is 
required for exports and reexports to all destinations, except Canada, 
for all items in ECCNs on the CCL that include RS Column 1 in the 
Country Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' section. 
Transactions described in paragraph (a)(2), (3), or (9) of this section 
are subject to the RS Column 1 license requirements set forth in those 
paragraphs rather than the license requirements set forth in this 
paragraph (a)(1).
    (2) Special RS Column 1 license requirements applicable to certain 
thermal imaging cameras. (i) As indicated in the CCL and in RS Column 1 
of the Commerce

[[Page 355]]

Country Chart, cameras described in 6A003 b.4.b require a license to all 
destinations other than Canada if such cameras have a frame rate greater 
than 60 Hz.
    (ii) Except as noted in paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section, as 
indicated in the CCL and in RS Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart, 
cameras described in 6A003 b.4.b require a license to all destinations 
other than Canada if such cameras incorporate a focal plane array with 
more than 111,000 elements and a frame rate of 60 Hz or less, or cameras 
described in 6A003 b.4.b that are being exported or reexported to be 
embedded in a civil product.
    (iii) BIS may issue licenses for cameras subject to the license 
requirement of paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section that are fully-
packaged for use as consumer-ready civil products that, in addition to 
the specific transactions authorized by such license, authorize exports 
and reexports of such cameras without a license to any civil end-user to 
whom such exports or reexport are not otherwise prohibited by U.S. law 
in a destination in Country Group A:1 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740 
of the EAR). The license requirements of this paragraph (a)(2) shall not 
apply to exports or reexports so authorized. In this paragraph, the term 
``civil end-user'' means any entity that is not a national armed service 
(army, navy, marine, air force, or coast guard), national guard, 
national police, government intelligence organization or government 
reconnaissance organization, or any person or entity whose actions or 
functions are intended to support ``military end-uses'' as defined in 
Sec.744.17(d) of the EAR.
    (iv) Except as noted in paragraph (a)(2)(v) of this section, as 
indicated in the CCL and in RS Column 1 of the Commerce Country Chart, 
cameras described in 6A003 b.4.b require a license to all destinations 
other than Canada if such cameras incorporate a focal plane array with 
111,000 elements or less and a frame rate of 60 Hz or less and are being 
exported or reexported to be embedded in a civil product.
    (v) BIS may also issue licenses for the cameras described in 
paragraph (a)(2)(iv) of this section that, in addition to the specific 
transactions authorized by such license, authorize exports and reexports 
to authorized companies described in the license for the purpose of 
embedding such cameras into a completed product that will be distributed 
only in countries in Country Group A:1 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740 
of the EAR). The license requirements of this paragraph (a)(2) shall not 
apply to exports or reexports so authorized. In this paragraph, the term 
``authorized companies'' means companies that have been previously 
licensed for export, are not the subject of relevant negative 
intelligence or open source information, have not been the subject of a 
Department of Commerce or Department of State enforcement action within 
the past two years, have demonstrable production capacity, and do not 
pose an unacceptable risk of diversion.
    (3) Special RS Column 1 license requirement applicable to military 
commodities. A license is required for reexports to all destinations 
except Canada for items classified under ECCN 0A919 except when such 
items are being reexported as part of a military deployment by a unit of 
the government of a country in Country Group A:1 (see supplement no. 1 
to part 740 of the EAR) or the United States.
    (4) RS Column 2 license requirements--(i) License requirements 
applicable to most RS Column 2 items. As indicated in the CCL and in RS 
Column 2 of the Commerce Country Chart (see supplement no. 1 to part 738 
of the EAR), a license is required to any destination except those in 
Country Group A:1 (see supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR) and 
India for all items in ECCNs on the CCL that include RS Column 2 in the 
Country Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' section. A license 
continues to be required for items controlled under ECCNs 6A003.b.4.b 
and 9A515.e for RS Column 2 reasons when destined to India.
    (ii) Special RS Column 2 license requirements applicable only to 
certain cameras. As indicated by the CCL, and RS column 2 and footnote 
number 4 to the Commerce Country Chart, a license is required to any 
destination except a country in Country Group A:1 (see supplement no. 1 
to part 740 of the EAR) for fully-packaged thermal imaging

[[Page 356]]

cameras for use as consumer-ready civil products controlled by 
6A003.b.4.b when incorporating ``focal plane arrays'' that have not more 
than 111,000 elements and a frame rate of 60Hz or less and that are not 
being exported or reexported to be embedded in a civil product.
    (5) RS requirements that apply to Iraq. As indicated on the CCL, a 
license is required for the export or reexport to Iraq or transfer 
within Iraq of the following items controlled for RS reasons on the CCL: 
0B999, 0D999, 1B999, 1C992, 1C995, 1C997, 1C999 and 6A992. The Commerce 
Country Chart is not designed to determine RS licensing requirements for 
these ECCNs.
    (6) [Reserved]
    (7) RS requirement that applies to the People's Republic of China 
(China), Russia, or Venezuela. A license is required to export or 
reexport to China, Russia, or Venezuela any item described in a .y 
paragraph of a 9x515 or ``600 series'' ECCN, except for exports or 
reexports to Russia for use in, with, or for the International Space 
Station (ISS), including launch to the ISS. (See Sec.740.11(e)(1) of 
the EAR for a definition of the ISS.)
    (8) RS Column 1 license requirements and related policies for ECCN 
0Y521 items--(i) Scope. This paragraph (a)(8) supplements the 
information in the 0Y521 ECCNs and in Supplement No. 5 to part 774 
(Items Classified Under ECCNs 0A521, 0B521, 0C521, 0D521 and 0E521). 
This paragraph alerts exporters, reexporters and transferors to the 
procedures that apply to items classified under the 0Y521 ECCNs.
    (ii) 0Y521 Items. Items subject to the EAR that are not listed 
elsewhere in the CCL, but which the Department of Commerce, with the 
concurrence of the Departments of Defense and State, has determined 
should be controlled for export because the items provide at least a 
significant military or intelligence advantage to the United States or 
for foreign policy reasons are classified under ECCNs 0A521, 0B521, 
0C521, 0D521 and 0E521. These items are typically emerging technologies 
(including emerging commodities, software and technology) that are not 
yet included in the CCL, so such items are listed on the CCL in 0Y521 
ECCNs while the U.S. Government determines whether classification under 
a revised or new ECCN, or an EAR 99 designation, is appropriate. The 
list of items classified under a 0Y521 ECCN is limited to those listed 
in supplement no. 5 to part 774.
    (iii) Requirement to be classified under another ECCN within one 
calendar year of classification under ECCN 0Y521. Items classified under 
an ECCN 0Y521 entry must be re-classified under another ECCN within one 
calendar year from the date they are listed in supplement no. 5 to part 
774 of the EAR. If such re-classification does not occur within that 
period, classification under an ECCN 0Y521 entry expires, and such items 
are designated as EAR99 items unless either the CCL is amended to impose 
a control on such items under another ECCN or the ECCN 0Y521 
classification is extended. BIS may extend an item's ECCN 0Y521 
classification for two one-year periods, provided that the U.S. 
Government has submitted a proposal to the relevant multilateral 
regime(s) to obtain multilateral controls over the item. Further 
extension beyond three years may occur only if the Under Secretary for 
Industry and Security makes a determination that such extension is in 
the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. 
Any extension or re-extension of control of an ECCN 0Y521 item, 
including the determination by the Under Secretary, shall be published 
in the Federal Register.
    (9) Special RS Column 1 license requirement applicable to certain 
spacecraft and related items. A license is required for all 
destinations, including Canada, for spacecraft and related items 
classified under ECCN 9A515.a.1, .a.2., .a.3., .a.4., .g, and ECCN 
9E515.f.
    (b) Licensing policy--(1) Licensing policy for RS Column 1 items. 
(i) Applications for exports and reexports of ECCN 0A501, 0A504, 0A505, 
0B501, 0B505, 0D501, 0D505, 0E501, 0E504, and 0E505 items; 9x515 and 
``600 series'' items will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to 
determine whether the transaction is contrary to the national security 
or foreign policy interests of the United States, including the foreign 
policy interest of promoting the observance of human rights throughout 
the world.

[[Page 357]]

Other applications for exports and reexports described in paragraph 
(a)(1), (2), (6), or (8) of this section will be reviewed on a case-by-
case basis to determine whether the export or reexport could contribute 
directly or indirectly to any country's military capabilities in a 
manner that would alter or destabilize a region's military balance 
contrary to the foreign policy interests of the United States. 
Applications for reexports of items described in paragraph (a)(3) of 
this section will be reviewed applying the policies for similar 
commodities that are subject to the ITAR. Applications for export or 
reexport of items classified under any 9x515 or ``600 series'' ECCN 
requiring a license in accordance with paragraph (a)(1) or (9) of this 
section will also be reviewed consistent with United States arms embargo 
policies in Sec.126.1 of the ITAR (22 CFR 126.1) if destined to a 
country set forth in Country Group D:5 in Supplement No. 1 to part 740 
of the EAR. Applications for export or reexport of ``parts,'' 
``components,'' ``accessories,'' ``attachments,'' ``software,'' or 
``technology'' ``specially designed'' or otherwise required for the F-14 
aircraft will generally be denied. When destined to China or a country 
listed in Country Group E:1 in Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR, 
items classified under ECCN 0A501, 0A505, 0B501, 0B505, 0D501, 0D505, 
0E501, 0E504, and 0E505 or any 9x515 ECCN will be subject to a policy of 
denial. In addition, applications for exports and reexports of ECCN 
0A501, 0A505, 0B501, 0B505, 0D501, 0D505, 0E501, 0E504, and 0E505 items 
when there is reason to believe the transaction involves criminal 
organizations, rebel groups, street gangs, or other similar groups or 
individuals, that may be disruptive to regional stability, including 
within individual countries, will be subject to a policy of denial.
    (ii) Applications for exports and reexports to a country listed in 
Country Group D:5 (in supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR) of 
technology controlled under 6E001 for the development of focal plane 
arrays, read-out integrated circuits (ROICs) or image intensifier tubes 
described in 6A002 or technology controlled under 6E002 for the 
production of focal plane arrays, read-out integrated circuits (ROICs) 
or image intensifier tubes described in 6A002 will be reviewed with a 
presumption of denial.
    (2) Licensing policy for RS Column 2 items. (i) Except as described 
in paragraph (b)(2)(ii), applications to export and reexport commodities 
described in paragraph (a)(4) of this section will generally be 
considered favorably on a case-by-case basis unless there is evidence 
that the export or reexport would contribute significantly to the 
destabilization of the region to which the equipment is destined.
    (ii) Applications to export and reexport items controlled under 
ECCNs 2A984, 2D984 and 2E984 will be reviewed under a presumption of 
approval when exported or reexported to Austria, Cyprus, Finland, 
Ireland, Israel, Malta, Mexico, Singapore or Sweden, provided the items 
to be exported or reexported are being made to a government end-user or 
to a person designated by the government end-user pursuant to contract. 
License applications to export to a designated person must include a 
statement from the government end-user that the person is so designated. 
See supplement no. 2 to part 748, paragraph (k)(2).
    (3) For terrorist-designated countries, the applicable licensing 
policies are found in parts 742 and 746 of the EAR.
    (4) See Sec.746.3(b) of the EAR for the applicable licensing 
policies for items controlled for RS reasons to Iraq.
    (5) Spacecraft for launch. (i) Applications to export or reexport a 
``spacecraft'' controlled under ECCN 9A515.a for launch in or by a 
country that is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
(NATO) or a major non-NATO ally of the United States (as defined in 22 
CFR 120.31 and 120.32), will require a technology transfer control plan 
approved by the Department of Defense, an encryption technology control 
plan approved by the National Security Agency, and Department of Defense 
monitoring of all launch activities.
    (ii) Applications to export or reexport a ``spacecraft'' controlled 
under ECCN 9A515.a for launch in or by a country that is a member of the 
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or a major non-NATO ally of 
the

[[Page 358]]

United States (as defined in 22 CFR 120.31 and 120.32), may require a 
technology transfer control plan approved by the Department of Defense, 
an encryption technology control plan approved by the National Security 
Agency, or Department of Defense monitoring of launch activities.
    (6) Remote sensing spacecraft. Applications to export or reexport a 
``spacecraft'' described in ECCN 9A515.a.1,.a.2, a.3, or .a.4, sensitive 
remote sensing components described in 9A515.g, or ``technology'' 
described in ECCN 9E515.f may require a government-to-government 
agreement at the discretion of the U.S. Government.
    (7) For India, there is a general policy of approval for license 
applications to export, reexport, or transfer items, including ``600 
series'' items, for civil or military end uses in India, for ultimate 
end use by the Government of India, for reexport to countries in Country 
Group A:5, or for return to the United States, so long as such items are 
not for use in nuclear, ``missile,'' or chemical or biological weapons 
activities.
    (8) China, Russia, or Venezuela. Applications to export or reexport 
items described in paragraph (a)(7) of this section to China, Russia, or 
Venezuela will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether 
the transaction is contrary to the national security or foreign policy 
interests of the United States, including the foreign policy interest of 
promoting the observance of human rights throughout the world. Such 
applications will also be reviewed consistent with United States arms 
embargo policies in Sec.126.1 of the ITAR (22 CFR 126.1) if destined 
to a country set forth in Country Group D:5 in Supplement No. 1 to part 
740 of the EAR. When destined to China, items classified under any 
9x515.y ECCN will be subject to a policy of denial consistent with 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
    (c)(1) Contract sanctity date: March 21, 2003. This contract 
sanctity date applies only to items controlled under ECCNs 2A983, 2D983 
and 2E983 destined for countries not listed in Country Group E 
(supplement 1 to part 740). See parts 742 and 746 for the contract 
sanctity requirements applicable to exports and reexports to countries 
listed in Country Group E.
    (2) Contract sanctity date: March 19, 2010. This contract sanctity 
date applies only to items controlled under ECCNs 2A984, 2D984 and 2E984 
destined for countries not listed in Country Group E (supplement 1 to 
part 740). See parts 742 and 746 for the contract sanctity requirements 
applicable to exports and reexports to countries listed in Country Group 
E.
    (d) U.S. controls. Although the United States seeks cooperation from 
like-minded countries in maintaining regional stability controls, at 
this time these controls are maintained only by the United States.

    Editorial Note: For Federal Register citations affecting Sec.
742.6, see the List of CFR Sections Affected, which appears in the 
Finding Aids section of the printed volume and at www.govinfo.gov.



Sec.742.7  Crime control and detection.

    (a) License requirements. In support of U.S. foreign policy to 
promote the observance of human rights throughout the world, a license 
is required to export and reexport crime control and detection 
equipment, related technology and software as follows:
    (1) Crime control and detection instruments and equipment and 
related ``technology'' and ``software'' identified in the appropriate 
ECCNs on the CCL under CC Column 1 in the Country Chart column of the 
``License Requirements'' section. A license is required to countries 
listed in CC Column 1 (Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR). Items 
affected by this requirement are identified on the CCL under the 
following ECCNs: 0A502, 0A504, 0A505.b, 0A977, 0A978, 0A979, 0D977, 
0E502, 0E505 (``technology'' for ``development'' or for ``production'' 
of buckshot shotgun shells controlled under ECCN 0A505.b), 0E977, 1A984, 
1A985, 3A980, 3A981, 3D980, 3E980, 4A003 (for fingerprint computers 
only), 4A980, 4D001 (for fingerprint computers only), 4D980, 4E001 (for 
fingerprint computers only), 4E980, 6A002 (for police-model infrared 
viewers only), 6E001 (for police-model infrared viewers only), 6E002 
(for police-model infrared viewers only), and 9A980.

[[Page 359]]

    (2) Shotguns with a barrel length greater than or equal to 24 
inches, identified in ECCN 0A502 on the CCL under CC Column 2 in the 
Country Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' section regardless 
of end user to countries listed in CC Column 2 (supplement no. 1 to part 
738 of the EAR).
    (3) Shotguns with barrel length greater than or equal to 24 inches, 
identified in ECCN 0A502 on the CCL under CC Column 3 in the Country 
Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' section only if for sale or 
resale to police or law enforcement entities in countries listed in CC 
Column 3 (supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR).
    (4) Certain crime control items require a license to all 
destinations, except Canada. These items are identified under ECCNs 
0A982, 0A503, and 0E982. Controls for these items appear in each ECCN; a 
column specific to these controls does not appear in the Country Chart 
(supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR).
    (5) Items designed for the execution of human beings as identified 
in ECCN 0A981 require a license to all destinations including Canada.
    (6) See Sec.742.11 of the EAR for further information on items 
controlled under ECCN 0A983, which require a license to all 
destinations, including Canada.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) Applications for items controlled under 
this section will generally be considered favorably on a case-by-case 
basis, unless there is civil disorder in the country or region or unless 
there is a risk that the items will be used to violate or abuse human 
rights. The judicious use of export controls is intended to deter human 
rights violations and abuses, distance the United States from such 
violations and abuses, and avoid contributing to civil disorder in a 
country or region.
    (2) BIS will review license applications in accordance with the 
licensing policy in paragraph (b)(1) of this section for items that are 
not controlled under this section but that require a license pursuant to 
another section for any reason other than short supply and could be used 
by the recipient Government or other end user specifically to violate or 
abuse human rights.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity date: August 22, 2000. 
Contract sanctity applies only to items controlled under ECCNs 0A982, 
0A503, and 0E982 destined for countries not listed in CC Column 1 of the 
Country Chart (supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR).
    (d) U.S. controls. In maintaining its controls on crime control and 
detection items, the United States considers international norms 
regarding human rights and the practices of other countries that control 
exports to promote the observance of human rights. However, these 
controls are not based on the decisions of any multinational export 
control regime and may differ from controls imposed by other countries.

Sec.742.8  Anti-terrorism: Iran.

    (a) License requirements. (1) A license is required for anti-
terrorism purposes to export or reexport to Iran any item for which AT 
column 1 or AT column 2 is indicated in the Country Chart column of the 
applicable ECCN or any item described in ECCNs 1C350, 1C355, 1C395, 
2A994, 2D994 and 2E994. See paragraph (a)(5) of this section for 
controls maintained by the Department of the Treasury. See Sec.746.7 
of the EAR for additional EAR license requirements that apply to Iran.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (3) The Secretary of State has designated Iran as a country whose 
Government has repeatedly provided support for acts of international 
terrorism.
    (4) In support of U.S. foreign policy applicable to terrorism-
supporting countries, the EAR imposes anti-terrorism license 
requirements on exports and reexports to Iran pursuant to sections 6(j) 
and 6(a) of the Export Administration Act.
    (i) Section 6(j) anti-terrorism controls. Section 6(j) requirements 
apply to all exports and reexports destined to the police, military or 
other sensitive end-users of items listed on the Commerce Control List 
(supp. no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR) for which any listed reason for 
control in the applicable ECCN is

[[Page 360]]

NS (national security), CB (chemical or biological weapons 
proliferation), MT (missile proliferation), NP (nuclear weapons 
proliferation) or an Export Control Classification Number ending in 
``18'' (military related items). BIS may not issue a license for a 
transaction subject to section 6(j) controls until 30 days after the 
notification described in Section 6(j)(2) of the Export Administration 
Act is delivered to the committees of Congress specified in that 
section. License applications for all other items controlled under 
section 6(a) are also reviewed to determine whether section 6(j) 
applies.
    (ii) Section 6(a) anti-terrorism controls. Section 6(a) requirements 
apply to all exports and reexports regardless of the end user of items 
described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
    (5) Exports and certain reexports to Iran are subject to a 
comprehensive embargo administered by the Department of the Treasury's 
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). If you wish to export or 
reexport to Iran, the Government of Iran or any entity owned or 
controlled by that Government, you should review part 746 of the EAR and 
consult with OFAC. Please note that authorization from OFAC constitutes 
authorization under the EAR and no separate license or authorization 
from BIS is required.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) The Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act 
of October 23, 1992, requires BIS to deny licenses for items controlled 
to Iran for national security (section 5 of the 1979 EAA) or foreign 
policy reasons (section 6 of the 1979 EAA), absent contract sanctity or 
a Presidential waiver. License applications for which contract sanctity 
is established may be considered under policies in effect prior to the 
enactment of that Act. Otherwise, licenses for such items to Iran are 
subject to a general policy of denial.
    (2) License applications for items controlled under section 6(a) of 
the EAA will also be reviewed to determine whether requirements of 
section 6(j) apply. Whenever the Secretary of State determines that an 
export or reexport could make a significant contribution to the military 
potential of Iran, including its military logistics capability, or could 
enhance Iran's ability to support acts of international terrorism, the 
Secretaries of State and Commerce will notify the Congress 30 days prior 
to the issuance of a license.
    (c) Contract Sanctity. Section 6(f) of the Export Administration Act 
requires that a report be delivered to Congress before foreign policy 
based export controls are imposed, expanded or extended. Consistent with 
section 6(p) of the Export Administration Act, certain exports or 
reexports in fulfillment of contracts entered into before such delivery 
of the report applicable to a particular license requirement or 
licensing policy may be subject to the license requirements and 
licensing policy that were in force before the report was delivered. 
License applicants who wish to have their application considered under 
such pre-existing requirements or policy must include evidence of the 
pre-existing contract with their license applications.
    (d) U.S. controls. Although the United States seeks cooperation from 
like-minded countries in maintaining anti-terrorism controls, at this 
time these controls are maintained only by the United States.

Sec.742.9  Anti-terrorism: Syria.

    (a) License requirements. (1) If AT Column 1 of the Country Chart 
(supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR) is indicated in the 
appropriate ECCN, a license is required for export and reexport to Syria 
for anti-terrorism purposes.
    (2) The Secretary of State has designated Syria as a country whose 
government has repeatedly provided support for acts of international 
terrorism.
    (3) In support of U.S. foreign policy against terrorism, BIS 
maintains two types of anti-terrorism controls on the export and 
reexport to Syria of items described in supplement no. 2 to part 742.
    (i) Items described in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of 
supplement no. 2 to part 742, if destined to military, police, 
intelligence or other end-users in

[[Page 361]]

Syria, are controlled under section 6(j) of the Export Administration 
Act, as amended (EAA).
    (ii) Items listed in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of supplement 
no. 2 to part 742 destined to other end-users in Syria, as well as items 
to all end-users listed in (c)(6) through (c)(8), (c)(10) through 
(c)(14), (c)(16) through (c)(19), and (c)(22) through (c)(44) of 
supplement no. 2 to part 742, are controlled to Syria under section 6(a) 
of the EAA.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) Applications for export and reexport to 
all end-users in Syria of the following items will generally be denied:
    (i) Items that are controlled for chemical and biological weapons 
proliferation reasons to any destination. These are items that contain 
CB Column 1, CB Column 2, or CB Column 3 in the Country Chart column of 
the ``License Requirements'' section of an ECCN on the CCL.
    (ii) Military-related items controlled for national security reasons 
to any destination. These are items that contain NS Column 1 in the 
Country Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' section in an ECCN 
on the CCL and are controlled by equipment or material entries ending in 
the number ``18.''
    (iii) Items that are controlled for missile proliferation reasons to 
any destination. These are items that have an MT Column 1 in the Country 
Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' section of an ECCN on the 
CCL.
    (iv) All aircraft (powered and unpowered), helicopters, engines, and 
related spare parts and components, except that parts and components 
intended to ensure the safety of civil aviation and the safe operation 
of commercial passenger aircraft will be reviewed on a case-by-case 
basis, with a presumption of approval. These are items controlled to any 
destination for national security and missile technology reasons and 
items controlled to Syria for anti-terrorism purposes. Such items 
contain an NS Column 1, NS Column 2, MT Column 1, or AT Column 1 in the 
Country Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' section of an ECCN 
on the CCL. Note that, consistent with the general rule that applies to 
computing U.S. parts and components content incorporated into foreign 
made products, all aircraft-related items that require a license to 
Syria will be included as controlled U.S. content, except for ECCNs 
6A998, 7A994, and 9A991.d, for purposes of such licensing requirements.
    (v) Cryptographic, cryptoanalytic, and cryptologic items controlled 
to any destination for national security reasons. Such items contain an 
AT Column 1 and an NS Column 1 or NS Column 2 in the Country Chart 
column of the ``License Requirements'' section of an ECCN on the CCL.
    (vi) Explosives detection equipment controlled under ECCN 2A983.
    (vii) ``Software'' (ECCN 2D983) specially designed or modified for 
the ``development'', ``production'' or ``use'' of explosives detection 
equipment controlled by 2A983.

(CWC) Schedule 2 and 3 chemicals controlled under ECCN 1E355.
    (xii) Concealed object detection equipment controlled under ECCN 
2A984.
    (xiii) ``Software'' (ECCN 2D984) ``required'' for the 
``development'', ``production'' or ``use'' of concealed object detection 
equipment controlled by 2A984.
    (xiv) ``Technology'' (ECCN 2E984) ``required'' for the 
``development'', ``production'' or ``use'' of concealed object detection 
equipment controlled by 2A984, or the ``development'' of ``software'' 
controlled by 2D984.
    (2) Applications for export and reexport to Syria of all other items 
described in paragraph (a) of this section, and not described by 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section, will generally be denied if the export 
or reexport is destined to a military end-user or for military end-use. 
Applications for non-military end-

[[Page 362]]

users or for non-military end-uses will be considered on a case-by-case 
basis.
    (3) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2), 
of this section, applications for Syria will be considered on a case-by-
case basis if:
    (i) The transaction involves the reexport to Syria of items where 
Syria was not the intended ultimate destination at the time of original 
export from the United States, provided that the exports from the U.S. 
occurred prior to the applicable contract sanctity date (or, where the 
contract sanctity date is December 16, 1986, prior to June 18, 1987).
    (ii) The U.S. content of foreign-produced commodities is 20% or less 
by value; or
    (iii) The commodities are medical items.

    Note to paragraph (b) of this section: Applicants who wish any of 
the factors described in paragraph (b) of this section to be considered 
in reviewing their license applications must submit adequate 
documentation demonstrating the value of the U.S. content, the 
specifications and medical use of the equipment, or the date of export 
from the United States.

    (4) License applications for items reviewed under 6(a) controls will 
also be reviewed to determine the applicability of 6(j) controls to the 
transaction. When it is determined that an export or reexport could make 
a significant contribution to the military potential of Syria, including 
its military logistics capability, or could enhance Syria's ability to 
support acts of international terrorism, the Secretaries of State and 
Commerce will notify the Congress 30 days prior to issuance of a 
license.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity dates and related licensing 
policies for Syria are set forth in supplement no. 2 to part 742. 
Applicants who wish a pre-existing contract to be considered must submit 
sufficient documentation to establish the existence of a contract.
    (d) U.S. controls. Although the United States seeks cooperation from 
like-minded countries in maintaining anti-terrorism controls, at this 
time these controls are maintained only by the United States.
    (e) Section 746.9 (Syria) of the EAR sets forth the export and 
reexport controls for Syria. Section 746.9 supersedes the provisions of 
paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section.

Sec.742.10  Anti-terrorism: Sudan.

    (a) License requirements. (1) If AT column 1 or AT column 2 \1\ of 
the Country Chart (supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR) is indicated 
in the appropriate ECCN, a license is required for export to Sudan for 
anti-terrorism purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ AT column 1 refers to items controlled to Iran, Sudan, and Syria 
for anti-terrorism purposes. AT column 2 refers to additional items 
controlled to Iran and Sudan for anti-terrorism purposes. In addition, 
items included in ECCNs 2A994, 2D994 and 2E994 are controlled to Iran 
for anti-terrorism purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2) If AT column 1 or AT column 2 of the Commerce Country Chart 
(supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR) is indicated in the 
appropriate ECCN, a license is required for reexport to Sudan for anti-
terrorism purposes, except for ECCNs 2A994, 3A992.a, 5A991.g, 5A992.c, 
5D992.c, 6A991, 6A998, 7A994, 8A992.d, .e, .f, and .g, 9A990.a and .b, 
and 9A991.d and .e. In addition, items in these ECCNs are not counted as 
controlled U.S. content for the purpose of determining license 
requirements for U.S. parts, components or materials incorporated into 
foreign made products. However, the export from the United States to any 
destination with knowledge that they will be reexported directly or 
indirectly, in whole or in part to Sudan is prohibited without a 
license.
    (3) The Secretary of State has designated Sudan as a country whose 
government has repeatedly provided support for acts of international 
terrorism.
    (4) In support of U.S. foreign policy against terrorism, BIS 
maintains anti-terrorism controls on the export and reexport to Sudan of 
items described in supplement no. 2 to part 742.

[[Page 363]]

    (i) Items described in paragraph (c)(1) through (c)(5) of supplement

aircraft (powered and unpowered), helicopters, engines and related spare 
parts and components. These are items controlled to any destination for 
national security reasons and items controlled to Sudan for anti-
terrorism reasons. Such items contain an NS Column 1, NS Column 2, or AT 
Column 1 in the Country Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' 
section of an ECCN on the CCL. Note that, consistent with the general 
rule that applies to computing U.S. parts and components content 
incorporated in foreign made products, all aircraft-related items that 
require a license to Sudan will be included as controlled US content for 
purposes of such license requirements.
    (v) Cryptographic, cryptoanalytic, and cryptologic items controlled 
to any destination. These are items that contain an NS Column 1, NS 
Column 2, AT Column 1 or AT Column 2 in the Country Chart column of the 
``License Requirements'' section of an ECCN on the CCL.
    (vi) Explosives detection equipment controlled under ECCN 2A983.
    (vii) ``Software'' (ECCN 2D983) specially designed or modified for 
the ``development'', ``production'' or ``use'' of explosives detection 
equipment controlled by 2A983.

    (2) Military end-user and end-use policy. Applications for the 
export and reexport of all other items described in paragraph (a) of 
this section, and not described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, 
will be denied if the export or reexport is destined to a military end-
user or for military end-use. Applications for non-military end-users or 
for non-military end-uses will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

[[Page 364]]

    (3) Other licensing policies. The licensing policies set forth in 
this paragraph apply notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (b)(1) 
and (b)(2) of this section.
    (i) Case-by-case review policy. Applications to export or reexport 
to Sudan will be considered on a case-by-case basis in the four 
situations described in paragraphs (b)(3)(i)(A) through (D) of this 
section.
    (A) The transaction involves the reexport to Sudan of items where 
Sudan was not the intended ultimate destination at the time of original 
export from the United States, provided that the export from the United 
States occurred prior to the applicable contract sanctity date.
    (B) The U.S. content of foreign-produced commodities is 20% or less 
by value.
    (C) The commodities are medical items.
    (D) The items are telecommunications equipment and associated 
computers, software and technology for civil end use, including items 
useful for the development of civil telecommunications network 
infrastructure.

    Note to paragraph (b)(3)(i). Applicants seeking approval of their 
license applications pursuant to this paragraph must include with their 
applications documentation demonstrating how their proposed transaction 
is consistent with one or more of the four situations described in this 
paragraph.

    (ii) General policy of approval. Applications to export or reexport 
to Sudan the following for civil uses by non-sensitive end-users within 
Sudan will be reviewed with a general policy of approval.
    (A) Parts, components, materials, equipment, and technology that are 
controlled on the Commerce Control List (supp. no. 1 to part 774 of the 
EAR) only for anti-terrorism reasons that are intended to ensure the 
safety of civil aviation or the safe operation of fixed-wing commercial 
passenger aircraft.
    (B) Items controlled on the Commerce Control List (supp. no. 1 to 
part 774 of the EAR) only for anti-terrorism reasons that will be used 
to inspect, design, construct, operate, improve, maintain, repair, 
overhaul or refurbish railroads in Sudan.

    Note to paragraph (b)(3)(ii). Applications will generally be denied 
for exports or reexports that would substantially benefit a sensitive 
end user. Sensitive end users include Sudan's military, police, and 
intelligence services and persons that are owned by or are part of or 
operated or controlled by those services.

    (4) License applications for items reviewed under 6(a) controls will 
also be reviewed to determine the applicability of 6(j) controls to the 
transaction. When it is determined that an export or reexport could make 
a significant contribution to the military potential of Sudan, including 
its military logistics capability, or could enhance Sudan's ability to 
support acts of international terrorism, the appropriate committees of 
the Congress will be notified 30 days before issuance of a license to 
export or reexport such items.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity dates and related licensing 
information for Sudan are set forth in supplement no. 2 to part 742. 
Applicants who wish a pre-existing contract to be considered must submit 
sufficient documentation to establish the existence of a contract.
    (d) U.S. controls. Although the United States seeks cooperation from 
like-minded countries in maintaining anti-terrorism controls, at this 
time these controls are maintained only by the United States.

Sec.742.11  Specially designed implements of torture, including 
thumbscrews, thumbcuffs, fingercuffs, spiked batons, and parts
and accessories, n.e.s.

    (a) License Requirements. In support of U.S. foreign policy to 
promote the observance of human rights throughout the world, a license 
is required to export any commodity controlled by ECCN 0A983 to all 
destinations including Canada.
    (b) Licensing policy. Applications for such licenses will generally 
be denied to all destinations.

[[Page 365]]

    (c) Contract sanctity. The contract sanctity date is November 9, 
1995. Contract sanctity will be a factor in considering only 
applications for export to the NATO countries, Japan, Australia, and New 
Zealand.
    (d) U.S. controls. In maintaining its controls on specially designed 
instruments of torture the United States considers international norms 
regarding human rights and the practices of other countries that control 
exports to promote the observance of human rights. However, these 
controls are not based on the decisions of any multinational export 
control regime and may differ from controls imposed by other countries.

Sec.742.12  [Reserved]



Sec.742.13  Communications intercepting devices; software and 
technology for communications intercepting devices.

    (a) License requirement. (1) In support of U.S. foreign policy to 
prohibit the export of items that may be used for the surreptitious 
interception of wire, oral, or electronic communications, a license is 
required for all destinations, including Canada, for ECCNs having an 
``SL'' under the ``Reason for Control'' paragraph. These items include 
any electronic, mechanical, or other device primarily useful for the 
surreptitious interception of wire, oral, or electronic communications 
(ECCNs 5A001.f.1 and 5A980); and for related ``software'' primarily 
useful for the surreptitious interception of wire, oral, or electronic 
communications (ECCN 5D001.c and 5D980.a); and ``software'' primarily 
useful for the ``development'', ``production'', or ``use'' of devices 
controlled under ECCNs 5A001.f.1 and 5A980 (ECCNs 5D001.a and 5D980.b); 
and for ``technology'' primarily useful for the ``development'', 
``production'', or ``use'' of items controlled by ECCNs 5A001.f.1, 
5D001.a (for 5A001.f.1), 5A980 and 5D980 (ECCNs 5E001.a and 5E980); and 
for ``software'' primarily useful to support such ECCN 5E001.a 
``development'', ``production'', or ``use'' ``technology'' for 5A001.f.1 
equipment and certain 5D001.a ``software'' (ECCN 5D001.b). These 
licensing requirements do not supersede the requirements contained in 
the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (18 
U.S.C. 2512). This license requirement is not reflected on the Commerce 
Country Chart (supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR).
    (2) ``Communications intercepting devices'' are electronic, 
mechanical, or other devices that can be used for interception of wire, 
oral, or electronic communications if their design renders them 
primarily useful for surreptitious listening even though they may also 
have innocent uses. A device is not restricted merely because it is 
small or may be adapted to wiretapping or eavesdropping. Some examples 
of devices to which these restrictions apply are: the martini olive 
transmitter; the infinity transmitter; the spike mike; and the disguised 
microphone appearing as a wristwatch, cufflink, or cigarette pack; etc. 
The restrictions do not apply to devices such as the parabolic 
microphone or other directional microphones ordinarily used by 
broadcasters at sports events, since these devices are not primarily 
useful for surreptitious listening.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) License applications, except for those 
applications for which a license is required for both SL and AT reasons, 
will generally be approved for exports or reexports requiring a license 
for SL reasons when the exporter or reexporter is:
    (i) A provider of wire or electronic communication services or an 
officer, agent, or employee of, or person under contract with such a 
provider, in the normal course of the business of providing that wire or 
electronic communication service; or
    (ii) An officer, agent, or employee of, or a person under contract 
with, the United States, one of the 50 States, or a political 
subdivision thereof, when engaged in the normal course of government 
activities.

    Note to paragraph (b)(1): For SL reasons, license applications will 
generally be denied to countries that are subject to controls for AT 
reasons.
    Note to paragraph (b)(1)(i): The normal course of the business of

    (2) Other license applications will generally be denied for exports 
or reexports requiring a license for SL reasons.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity provisions are not 
available for license applications involving exports and reexports of 
communications interception devices.

Sec.742.14  Significant items: hot section technology for the 
development, production or overhaul of commercial aircraft engines,
components, and systems.

    (a) License requirement. Licenses are required for all destinations, 
except Canada, for ECCNs having an ``SI'' under the ``Reason for 
Control'' paragraph. These items include hot section technology for the 
development, production or overhaul of commercial aircraft engines 
controlled under ECCN 9E003.a.1 through a.8, .h,.i and .j, and related 
controls.
    (b) Licensing policy. Pursuant to section 6 of the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, as amended, foreign policy controls apply to 
technology required for the development, production or overhaul of 
commercial aircraft engines controlled by ECCN 9E003a.1 through a.8, 
.h,.i, and .j, and related controls. These controls supplement the 
national security controls that apply to these items. Applications for 
export and reexport to all destinations will be reviewed on a case-by-
case basis to determine whether the export or reexport is consistent 
with U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. The following 
factors are among those that will be considered to determine what action 
will be taken on license applications:
    (1) The country of destination;
    (2) The ultimate end-user(s);
    (3) The technology involved;
    (4) The specific nature of the end-use(s); and
    (5) The types of assurance against unauthorized use or diversion 
that are given in a particular case.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity provisions are not 
available for license applications reviewed under this Sec.742.14.

Sec.742.15  Encryption items.

    Encryption items can be used to maintain the secrecy of information, 
and thereby may be used by persons abroad to harm U.S. national 
security, foreign policy and law enforcement interests. The United 
States has a critical interest in ensuring that important and sensitive 
information of the public and private sector is protected. Consistent 
with our international obligations as a member of the Wassenaar 
Arrangement, the United States has a responsibility to maintain control 
over the export and reexport of encryption items. As the President 
indicated in Executive Order 13026 and in his Memorandum of November 15, 
1996, exports and reexports of encryption software, like exports and 
reexports of encryption hardware, are controlled because of this 
functional capacity to encrypt information, and not because of any 
informational or theoretical value that such software may reflect, 
contain, or represent, or that its export or reexport may convey to 
others abroad. For this reason, export controls on encryption software 
are distinguished from controls on other software regulated under the 
EAR.
    (a) Licensing requirements and policy--(1) Licensing requirements. A 
license is required to export or reexport encryption items (``EI'') 
classified under ECCN 5A002, 5A004, 5D002.a, .c.1 or .d (for equipment 
and ``software'' in ECCNs 5A002 or 5A004, 5D002.c.1); or 5E002 for 
``technology'' for the ``development,'' ``production,'' or ``use'' of 
commodities or ``software'' controlled for EI reasons in ECCNs 5A002, 
5A004 or 5D002, and ``technology'' classified under 5E002.b to all 
destinations, except Canada. Refer to part 740 of the

[[Page 367]]

EAR, for license exceptions that apply to certain encryption items, and 
to Sec.772.1 of the EAR for definitions of encryption items and terms. 
Most encryption items may be exported under the provisions of License 
Exception ENC set forth in Sec.740.17 of the EAR. Following 
classification or self-classification, items that meet the criteria of 
Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2 of the Commerce Control List (the ``mass 
market'' note), are classified ECCN 5A992.c or 5D992.c and are no longer 
subject to this Section (see Sec.740.17 of the EAR). Before submitting 
a license application, please review License Exception ENC to determine 
whether this license exception is available for your item or 
transaction. For exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of 
encryption items that are not eligible for a license exception, you must 
submit an application to obtain authorization under a license or an 
Encryption Licensing Arrangement.
    (2) Licensing policy. Applications will be reviewed on a case-by-
case basis by BIS, in conjunction with other agencies, to determine 
whether the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) is consistent 
with U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. Encryption 
Licensing Arrangements (ELAs) may be authorized for exports, reexports, 
or transfers (in-country) of unlimited quantities of encryption 
commodities and software described in Sec.740.17 (b)(2)(i)(A) that 
have been classified by BIS to ``more sensitive government end users,'' 
in all destinations, except countries listed in Country Groups E:1 or 
E:2 of supplement no. 1 to part 740. ELAs for ``more sensitive 
government end users'' may be authorized for encryption commodities and 
software described in Sec.740.17(b)(2)(ii) through (iv) under certain 
circumstances. ELAs are valid for four years and may require pre-
shipment notification. Applicants seeking authorization for Encryption 
Licensing Arrangements must specify the sales territory on their license 
applications.
    (b) Publicly available encryption source code--(1) Scope and 
eligibility. Subject to the notification requirements of paragraph 
(b)(2) of this section, publicly available (see Sec.734.3(b)(3) of the 
EAR) encryption source code classified under ECCN 5D002 is not subject 
to the EAR. Such source code is publicly available even if it is subject 
to an express agreement for the payment of a licensing fee or royalty 
for commercial production or sale of any product developed using the 
source code.
    (2) Notification requirement. You must notify BIS and the ENC 
Encryption Request Coordinator via email of the Internet location (e.g., 
URL or Internet address) of the publicly available encryption source 
code classified under ECCN 5D002 or provide each of them a copy of the 
publicly available encryption source code. If you update or modify the 
source code, you must also provide additional copies to each of them 
each time the cryptographic functionality of the source code is updated 
or modified. In addition, if you posted the source code on the Internet, 
you must notify BIS and the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator each time 
the Internet location is changed, but you are not required to notify 
them of updates or modifications made to the encryption source code at 
the previously notified location. In all instances, submit the 
notification or copy to [email protected] and to [email protected].

Sec.742.17  Exports of firearms to OAS member countries.

    (a) License requirements. BIS maintains a licensing system for the 
export of firearms and related items to all OAS member countries. This 
action is based on the Organization of American States (OAS) Model 
Regulations for the Control of the International Movement of Firearms, 
their Parts and Components and Munitions (OAS Model Regulations) which 
were developed to assist OAS member countries to implement the Inter-
American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking 
in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related

[[Page 368]]

Materials (Firearms Convention). \2\ Items subject to these controls are 
identified by ``FC Column 1'' in the ``License Requirements'' section of 
their Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) on the Commerce 
Control List (CCL). If ``FC Column 1'' of the Commerce Country Chart 
(supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR) is indicated for a particular 
country, a license is required for export to that destination. Licenses 
will generally be issued on a Firearms Convention (FC) Import 
Certificate or equivalent official document, satisfactory to BIS, issued 
by the government of the importing OAS member country.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Status of Convention as of April 13, 1999 had not entered into 
force.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (b) Licensing policy. Applications supported by an FC Import 
Certificate or equivalent official document issued by the government of 
the importing country for such items will generally be approved, except 
there is a policy of denial for applications to export items linked to 
such activities as drug trafficking, terrorism, and transnational 
organized crime.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity provisions are not 
available for license applications under this Sec.742.17.
    (d) OAS Model Regulations. The OAS Model Regulations on which 
regulations are based are designed by OAS member countries to combat 
illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms, ammunition, 
explosives, and other related materials in North and South America 
because of their links to such activities as drug trafficking, 
terrorism, and transnational organized crime.
    (e) OAS member countries to which firearms controls under this 
section apply. The OAS member countries include: Antigua and Barbuda, 
Argentina, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, 
Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El 
Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, 
Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, 
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, the 
United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
    (f) Items/Commodities. Items requiring a license under this section 
are ECCNs 0A501 (except 0A501.y), 0A502, 0A504 (except 0A504.f), and 
0A505 (except 0A505.d). (See supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR).
    (g) Validity period for licenses. Although licenses generally will 
be valid for a period of four years, your ability to ship items that 
require an FC Import Certificate or equivalent official document under 
this section may be affected by the validity of the FC Import 
Certificate or equivalent official document (see Sec.748.12(d)(4) of 
the EAR).

Sec.742.18  Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC or Convention).

    States that are parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of the 
Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on 
Their Destruction, also known as the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC or 
Convention), undertake never to develop, produce, acquire, stockpile, 
transfer, or use chemical weapons. As a State Party to the Convention, 
the United States is subjecting certain toxic chemicals and their 
precursors listed in Schedules within the Convention to trade 
restrictions. Trade restrictions include: a prohibition on the export of 
Schedule 1 chemicals to States not Party to the CWC; a prohibition on 
the reexport of Schedule 1 chemicals to all destinations (both States 
Parties to the CWC and States not Party to the CWC); license 
requirements for the export of Schedule 1 chemicals to all States 
Parties; a prohibition on the export of Schedule 2 chemicals to States 
not Party to the CWC; and an End-Use Certificate requirement for exports 
of Schedule 3 chemicals to States not Party to the CWC. Exports of CWC 
chemicals that do not require a license for CW reasons (e.g., exports 
and reexports of Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 chemicals to States Parties 
to the CWC) may require a license for other reasons set forth in the 
EAR. (See, in particular, the license requirements in Sec.742.2 of the 
EAR that apply to exports and reexports of precursor chemicals 
controlled by ECCN

[[Page 369]]

1C350, for CB reasons. Also note the end-use and end-user restrictions 
in part 744 of the EAR and the restrictions that apply to embargoed 
countries in part 746 of the EAR.)
    (a) License requirements (1) Schedule 1 chemicals and mixtures 
controlled under ECCN 1C351. A license is required for CW reasons to 
export or reexport Schedule 1 chemicals controlled under ECCN 1C351.d.11 
or d.12 to all destinations including Canada. CW applies to 1C351.d.11 
for ricin in the form of Ricinus Communis AgglutininII 
(RCAII), which is also known as ricin D or Ricinus Communis 
LectinIII (RCLIII), and Ricinus Communis 
LectinIV (RCLIV), which is also known as ricin E. 
CW applies to 1C351.d.12 for saxitoxin identified by C.A.S. 35523-89-8. 
(Note that the advance notification procedures and annual reporting 
requirements described in Sec.745.1 of the EAR also apply to exports 
of Schedule 1 chemicals.)
    (2) Schedule 2 and 3 chemicals and mixtures controlled under ECCN 
1C350, ECCN 1C355, or ECCN 1C395--(i) States Parties to the CWC. Neither 
a license nor an End-Use Certificate is required for CW reasons to 
export or reexport Schedule 2 or 3 chemicals and mixtures controlled 
under ECCN 1C350, ECCN 1C355, or ECCN 1C395 to States Parties to the CWC 
(destinations listed in supplement no. 2 to part 745 of the EAR).
    (ii) States not Party to the CWC--(A) Schedule 2 chemicals. A 
license is required for CW reasons to export or reexport Schedule 2 
chemicals and mixtures controlled under ECCN 1C350.b, ECCN 1C355.a, or 
ECCN 1C395 to States not Party to the CWC (destinations not listed in 
supplement no. 2 to part 745 of the EAR).
    (B) Schedule 3 chemicals--(1) Exports. A license is required for CW 
reasons to export Schedule 3 chemicals and mixtures controlled under 
ECCN 1C350.c, ECCN 1C355.b, or ECCN 1C395.b to States not Party to the 
CWC (destinations not listed in supplement no. 2 to part 745 of the 
EAR), unless the exporter obtains from the consignee an End-Use 
Certificate (issued by the government of the importing country) prior to 
exporting the Schedule 3 chemicals and submits it to BIS in accordance 
with the procedures described in Sec.745.2 of the EAR. Note, however, 
that obtaining an End-Use Certificate does not relieve the exporter from 
the responsibility of complying with other license requirements set 
forth elsewhere in the EAR.
    (2) Reexports--(i) Reexports from States Parties to the CWC. Neither 
a license nor an End-Use Certificate is required for CW reasons to 
reexport Schedule 3 chemicals and mixtures controlled under ECCN 
1C350.c, ECCN 1C355.b, or ECCN 1C395.b from States Parties to the CWC 
(destinations listed in supplement no. 2 to part 745 of the EAR) to 
States not Party to the CWC. However, a license may be required for 
other reasons set forth elsewhere in the EAR. In addition, reexports of 
Schedule 3 chemicals may be subject to an End-Use Certificate 
requirement by governments of other countries when the chemicals are 
destined for States not Party to the CWC.
    (ii) Reexports from States not Party to the CWC. A license is 
required for CW reasons to reexport Schedule 3 chemicals and mixtures 
controlled under ECCN 1C350.c, ECCN 1C355.b, or ECCN 1C395.b from a 
State not Party to the CWC (a destination not listed in supplement no. 2 
to part 745 of the EAR) to any other State not Party to the CWC.
    (C) Technology controlled under ECCN 1E355. A license is required 
for CW reasons to export or reexport technology controlled under ECCN 
1E355 to all States not Party to the CWC (destinations not listed in 
supplement no. 2 to part 745 of the EAR), except for Israel and Taiwan.
    (b) Licensing Policy--(1) Schedule 1 chemicals and mixtures--(i) 
Exports to States Parties to the CWC. Applications to export Schedule 1 
Chemicals controlled under ECCN 1C351.d.11 or .d.12 to States Parties to 
the CWC (destinations listed in supplement no. 2 to part 745 of the EAR) 
generally will be denied, unless all of the following conditions are 
met:
    (A) The chemicals are destined only for purposes not prohibited 
under the CWC (i.e., research, medical, pharmaceutical, or protective 
purposes);
    (B) The types and quantities of chemicals are strictly limited to 
those that can be justified for those purposes;

[[Page 370]]

    (C) The Schedule 1 chemicals were not previously imported into the 
United States (this does not apply to Schedule 1 chemicals imported into 
the United States prior to April 29, 1997, or imported into the United 
States directly from the same State Party to which they now are to be 
returned, i.e., exported); and
    (D) The aggregate amount of Schedule 1 chemicals in the country of 
destination at any given time is equal to or less than one metric ton 
and receipt of the proposed export will not cause the country of 
destination to acquire or to have acquired one metric ton or more of 
Schedule 1 chemicals in any calendar year.
    (ii) Exports to States not party to the CWC. Applications to export 
Schedule 1 chemicals controlled under ECCN 1C351.d.11 or .d.12 to States 
not Party to the CWC (destinations not listed in supplement no. 2 to 
part 745 of the EAR) generally will be denied, consistent with U.S. 
obligations under the CWC to prohibit exports of these chemicals to 
States not Party to the CWC.
    (iii) Reexports. Applications to reexport Schedule 1 chemicals 
controlled under ECCN 1C351.d.11 or .d.12 generally will be denied to

Sec.742.19  Anti-terrorism: North Korea.

    (a) License requirements. (1) All items on the Commerce Control List 
(CCL) (i.e., with a designation other than EAR99) that are controlled 
for anti-terrorism reasons require a license for export or reexport to 
North Korea. This includes all items on the CCL containing AT column 1 
or AT column 2 in the Country Chart column of the License requirements 
section of an ECCN; and ECCNs 0A505.c, 0A988, 0A999, 0B505.c, 0B999, 
0D999, 1A999, 1B999, 1C995, 1C999, 1D999, 2A994, 2A999, 2B999, 2D994, 
2E994, 3A999, and 6A999. See also part 746 of the EAR.
    (2) The Secretary of State has designated North Korea as a country 
whose Government has repeatedly provided support for acts of 
international terrorism.
    (3) In support of U.S. foreign policy on terrorism-supporting 
countries, BIS maintains two types of anti-terrorism controls on the 
export and reexport of items described in supplement 2 to part 742.
    (i) Items described in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of 
supplement so. 2 to part 742 are controlled under section 6(j) of the 
Export Administration Act, as amended (EAA), if destined to military, 
police, intelligence or other sensitive end-users.
    (ii) Items described in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of 
supplement no. 2 to part 742 destined to non-sensitive end-users, as 
well as items described in paragraph (c)(6) through (c)(45) to all end-
users, are controlled to North

[[Page 371]]

Korea under section 6(a) of the EAA. License applications for items 
reviewed under section 6(a) controls will also be reviewed to determine 
the applicability of section 6(j) controls to the transaction. When it 
is determined that an export or reexport could make a significant 
contribution to the military potential of North Korea, including its 
military logistics capability, or could enhance North Korea's ability to 
support acts of international terrorism, the Secretaries of State and 
Commerce will notify the Congress 30 days prior to issuance of a 
license. (See supplement no. 2 to part 742 for more information on items 
controlled under sections 6(a) and 6(j) of the EAA and Sec.750.6 of 
the EAR for procedures for processing license applications for items 
controlled under EAA section 6(j).)

Sec. Supplement No. 2 to Part 742--Anti-Terrorism Controls: North Korea, 
      Syria and Sudan Contract Sanctity Dates and Related Policies

    Note: Exports and reexports of items in performance of contracts 
entered into before the applicable contract sanctity date(s) will be 
eligible for review on a case-by-case basis or other applicable 
licensing policies that were in effect prior to the contract sanctity 
date. The contract sanctity dates set forth in this Supplement are for 
the guidance of exporters. Contract sanctity dates are established in 
the course of the imposition of foreign policy controls on specific 
items and are the relevant dates for the purpose of licensing 
determinations involving such items. If you believe that a specific 
contract sanctity date is applicable to your transaction, you should 
include all relevant information with your license application. BIS will 
determine any applicable contract sanctity date at the time an 
application with relevant supporting documents is submitted.

    (a) Terrorist-supporting countries. The Secretary of State has 
designated North Korea, Sudan and Syria as countries whose governments 
have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism 
under section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act (EAA).
    (b) Items controlled under EAA sections 6(j) and 6(a). Whenever the 
Secretary of State determines that an export or reexport to any of these 
countries could make a significant contribution to the military 
potential of such country, including its military logistics capability, 
or could enhance the ability of such country to support acts of 
international terrorism, the item is subject to mandatory control under 
EAA section 6(j) and the Secretaries of Commerce and State are required 
to notify appropriate Committees of the Congress 30 days before a 
license for such an item may be issued.
    (1) On December 28, 1993, the Secretary of State determined that the 
export to North Korea, Sudan, or Syria of items described in paragraphs 
(c)(1) through (c)(5) of this Supplement, if destined to military, 
police, intelligence or other sensitive end-users, are controlled under 
EAA section 6(j). Therefore, the 30-day advance Congressional 
notification requirement applies to the export or reexport of these 
items to sensitive end-users in any of these countries.
    (2) License applications for items controlled to designated 
terrorist-supporting countries under EAA section 6(a) will also be 
reviewed to determine whether the Congressional notification 
requirements of EAA section 6(j) apply.
    (3) Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons under section 6(a) 
to North Korea, Sudan and Syria are:
    (i) Items described in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) to non-
sensitive end-users, and
    (ii) The following items to all end-users: for North Korea, items in 
paragraph (c)(6) through (c)(45) of this Supplement; for Sudan, items in 
paragraphs (c)(6) through (c)(14) and (c)(16) through (c)(44) of this 
Supplement; and for Syria, items in paragraphs (c)(6) through (c)(8), 
(c)(10) through (c)(14),

    (11) With respect to your company's encryption products, do they 
incorporate encryption components produced or furnished by non-U.S. 
sources or vendors? Enter 'YES', 'NO', or if necessary, 'N/A' (250 
characters or less).
    (12) With respect to your company's encryption products, are any of 
them manufactured in non-U.S. locations?'' If yes, list the non-U.S. 
manufacturing locations by city and country. If necessary, enter 'NONE' 
or 'N/A' (250 characters or less).
    (b) File format requirements. (1) The information described in 
paragraph (a) of this supplement must be provided in tabular or 
spreadsheet form, as an electronic file in comma separated values format 
(.csv), only. No file formats other than .csv will be accepted, as your 
encryption self-classification report must be directly convertible to 
tabular or spreadsheet format, where each row (and all entries within a 
row) properly correspond to the appropriate encryption item.

    Note to paragraph (b)(1): An encryption self-classification report 
data table created and stored in spreadsheet format (e.g., file 
extension .xls, .numbers, .qpw, .wb*, .wrk, and .wks) can be converted 
and saved into a comma delimited file format directly from the 
spreadsheet program. This .csv file is then ready for submission.

    (2) Each line of your encryption self-classification report (.csv 
file) must consist of twelve entries as further described in this 
supplement.
    (3) The first line of the .csv file must consist of the following 
twelve entries (i.e., match the following) without alteration or

[[Page 387]]

variation: PRODUCT NAME, MODEL NUMBER, MANUFACTURER, ECCN, AUTHORIZATION 
TYPE, ITEM TYPE, SUBMITTER NAME, TELEPHONE NUMBER, E-MAIL ADDRESS, 
MAILING ADDRESS, NON-U.S. COMPONENTS, NON-U.S. MANUFACTURING LOCATIONS.

    Note to paragraph (b)(3): These first twelve entries (i.e., first 
row) of an encryption self-classification report in .csv format 
correspond to the twelve column headers of a spreadsheet data file. The 
responses provided under column headers 7 through 12 (SUBMITTER NAME 
through NON-U.S. MANUFACTURING LOCATIONS) relate to the company as a 
whole, and thus should be entered the same for each product (i.e., only 
one point of contact, one 'YES' or 'NO' answer to whether any of the 
reported products incorporate non-U.S. sourced encryption components, 
and one list of non-U.S. manufacturing locations, is required for the 
report). However, even though the information is the same for each 
product, please duplicate this information into each row of the 
spreadsheet, leaving no entry blank, so each product has the same 
identifying company information.

    (4) Each subsequent line of the .csv file must correspond to a 
single encryption item (or a distinguished series of products) as 
described in paragraph (c) of this supplement.
    (5) Each line must consist of six entries as described in paragraph 
(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(4), (a)(5), and (a)(6) of this supplement. 
No entries may be left blank. Each entry must be separated by a comma 
(,). Certain additional instructions are as follows:
    (i) Line entries (a)(1) (`PRODUCT NAME') and (a)(4) (`ECCN') must be 
completed with relevant information.
    (ii) For entries (a)(2) (`MODEL NUMBER') and (a)(3) 
(`MANUFACTURER'), if these entries do not apply to your item or 
situation you may enter `NONE' or `N/A'.
    (iii) For entries (a)(5) (`AUTHORIZATION TYPE'), if none of the 
provided choices apply to your situation, you may enter `OTHER'.
    (6) Because of .csv file format requirements, the only permitted use 
of a comma is as the necessary separator between line entries. You may 
not use a comma for any other reason in your encryption self-
classification report.
    (c) Other instructions. (1) The information provided in accordance 
with this supplement and Sec. Sec.740.17(b)(1) and 740.17(e)(3) of the 
EAR must identify product offerings as they are typically distinguished 
in inventory, catalogs, marketing brochures and other promotional 
materials.
    (2) For families of products where all the information described in 
paragraph (a) of this supplement is identical except for the model/
series/part number (entry (a)(2)), you may list and describe these 
products with a single line in your .csv file using an appropriate 
model/series/part number identifier (e.g., `300' or `3xx') for entry 
(a)(2), provided each line in your .csv file corresponds to a single 
product series (or product type) within an overall product family.
    (3) For example, if Company A produces, markets and sells both a 
`100' (`1xx') and a `300' (`3xx') series of product, in its encryption 
self-classification report (.csv file) Company A must list the `100' 
product series in one line (with entry (a)(2) completed as `100' or 
`1xx') and the `300' product series in another line (with entry (a)(2) 
completed as `300' or `3xx'), even if the other required information is

Sec.743.4  Conventional arms reporting.

    (a) Scope. This section outlines special reporting requirements for 
exports of certain items listed on the Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions 
List and the UN Register of Conventional Arms. Participating States of 
the Wassenaar Arrangement exchange information every six months on 
deliveries to non-participating states of conventional arms set forth in 
the Wassenaar Arrangement's Basic Documents under Part II Guideline and 
Procedures, including the Initial Elements, Appendix 3: Specific 
Information Exchange on Arms Content by Category (at www.wassenaar.org), 
derived from the categories of the UN Register of Conventional Arms (at 
www.un.org/disarmament/convarms /Register/). Similar, although not 
identical, information is also reported by the U.S. Government to the 
United Nations on an annual basis. The reported information should 
include the quantity and the name of the recipient state and, except in 
the category of missiles and missile launchers, details of model and 
type. Such reports must be submitted to BIS semi-annually in accordance 
with the provisions of paragraph (f) of this section for items 
identified in paragraph (c)(1) of this section and annually for items 
identified in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, and records of all 
exports subject to the reporting requirements of this section must be 
kept in accordance with part 762 of the EAR. This section does not 
require reports for reexports or transfers (in-country). This section 
does not require reports when the exporter uses the alternative 
submission method described under paragraph (h) of this section. The 
alternative submission method under paragraph (h) requires the exporter 
to submit the information required for conventional arms reporting in 
this section as part of the required EEI submission in AES, pursuant to 
Sec.758.1(b)(9) of the EAR. Because of the requirements in Sec.
758.1(g)(4)(ii) of the EAR for the firearms that require conventional 
arms reporting of all conventional arms, the Department of Commerce 
believes all conventional arms reporting requirements for firearms will 
be met by using the alternative submission method. The Department of 
Commerce leaves standard method for submitting reports in place in case 
any additional items are moved from the USML to the CCL, that may 
require conventional arms reporting.

    Note 1 to paragraph (a): For purposes of this section, the term 
``you'' has the same meaning as the term ``exporter'', as defined in 
part 772 of the EAR.

    (b) Requirements. You must submit one electronic copy of each report 
required under the provisions of this section, or submit this 
information using the alternative submission method specified in 
paragraph (h) of this section, and maintain accurate supporting records 
(see Sec.762.2(b) of the EAR) for all exports of items specified in 
paragraph (c) of this section for the following:
    (1) Exports authorized under License Exceptions LVS, TMP, RPL, STA, 
or GOV (see part 740 of the EAR);
    (2) [Reserved]

[[Page 391]]

    (3) Exports authorized under the Validated End User authorization 
(see Sec.748.15 of the EAR).
    (c) Items for which reports are required--(1) Wassenaar Arrangement 
reporting. You must submit reports to BIS under the provisions of this 
section only for exports of items classified under the following ECCNs:
    (i) ECCN 0A501.a and .b.
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (2) United Nations reporting. You must submit reports to BIS under 
the provisions of this section only for exports of items classified 
under the following ECCNs:
    (i) ECCN 0A501.a and .b.
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (d) Country Exceptions for Wassenaar Arrangement reporting. You must 
report each export subject to the provisions of this section, except for 
exports to Wassenaar member countries, identified in supplement no. 1 to 
part 743 for reports required under paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
    (e) Information that must be included in each report. (1) Each 
report submitted to BIS for items other than those identified in 
paragraph (e)(2) of this section must include the following information 
for each export during the time periods specified in paragraph (f) of 
this section:
    (i) Export Control Classification Number and paragraph reference as 
identified on the Commerce Control List;
    (ii) Number of units in the shipment; and

    Note 2 to paragraph (e)(1)(ii): For exports of technology for which 
reports are required under Sec.743.1(c) of this section, the number of 
units in the shipment should be reported as one (1) for the initial 
export of the technology to a single ultimate consignee. Additional 
exports of the technology must be reported only when the type or scope 
of technology changes or exports are made to other ultimate consignees.

    (iii) Country of ultimate destination.
    (f) Frequency and timing of reports--(1) Semi-annual reports for 
items identified in paragraph (c)(1) of this section. You must submit 
reports subject to the provisions of this section semiannually. The 
reports must be labeled with the exporting company's name and address at 
the top of each page and must include for each such export all the 
information specified in paragraph (e) of this section. The reports 
shall cover exports made during six-month time periods from January 1 
through June 30 and July 1 through December 31.
    (i) The first report must be submitted to and received by BIS no 
later than 180 days after the effective date of the rule that revises 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section to add the ECCN for the item being 
reported. Thereafter, reports are due according to the provisions of 
paragraphs (f)(2) and (f)(3) of this section.
    (ii) Reports for the reporting period ending June 30 must be 
submitted to and received by BIS no later than August 1.

    (2) Annual reports for items identified in paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section. You must submit reports subject to the provisions of this 
section annually. The reports must be labeled with the exporting 
company's name and address at the top of each page and must include for 
each such export all the information specified in paragraph (e) of this 
section. The reports shall cover exports made during twelve month time 
periods from January 1 through December 31.
    (i) The first report must be submitted to and received by BIS no 
later than 180 days after the effective date of the rule that revises 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section to add the ECCN for the item being 
reported. Thereafter, reports are due according to the provisions of 
paragraph (f)(2) of this section.
    (ii) Reports for the reporting period ending December 31 must be 
submitted to and received by BIS no later than February 1.
    (g) Submission of reports. Information should be submitted in the 
form of a spreadsheet and emailed to [email protected] or 
[email protected].
    (h) Alternative submission method. This paragraph (h) describes an 
alternative submission method for meeting the conventional arms 
reporting requirements of this section. The alternative

[[Page 392]]

submission method requires the exporter, when filing the required EEI 
submission in AES, pursuant to Sec.758.1(b)(9) of the EAR, to include 
the six character ECCN classification (i.e., 0A501.a or 0A501.b) as the 
first text to appear in the Commodity description block. If the exporter 
properly includes this information in the EEI filing in AES, the 
Department of Commerce will be able to obtain that export information 
directly from AES to meet the U.S. Government's commitments to the 
Wassenaar Arrangement and United Nations for conventional arms 
reporting. An exporter that complies with the requirements in Sec.
758.1(g)(4)(ii) of the EAR does not have to submit separate annual and 
semi-annual reports to the Department of Commerce pursuant to this 
section.
    (i) Contacts. General information concerning the Wassenaar 
Arrangement and reporting obligations thereof is available from the 
Office of National Security and Technology Transfer Controls, Tel.: 
(202) 482-0092, Fax: (202) 482-4094. Information concerning the

Sec.744.1  General provisions.

    (a)(1) Introduction. In this part, references to the EAR are 
references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. This part contains 
prohibitions against exports, reexports, and selected transfers to 
certain end-users and end-uses as introduced under General Prohibition 
Five (End-use/End-users) and Nine (Orders, Terms, and Conditions), 
unless authorized by BIS. Sections 744.2, 744.3, 744.4 prohibit exports, 
reexports and transfers (in-country) of items subject to the EAR to 
defined nuclear, missile, and chemical and biological proliferation 
activities. Section 744.5 prohibits exports, reexports and transfers 
(in-country) of items subject to the EAR to defined nuclear maritime 
end-uses.

[[Page 394]]

Section 744.6 prohibits certain activities by U.S. persons in support of 
certain nuclear, missile, chemical, or biological end-uses. Section 
744.7 prohibits exports and reexports of certain items for certain 
aircraft and vessels. Section 744.8 prohibits exports and reexports 
without authorization to certain parties who have been designated as 
proliferators of weapons of mass destruction or as supporters of such 
proliferators pursuant to Executive Order 13382. Section 744.10 
prohibits exports and reexports of any item subject to the EAR to 
Russian entities, included in supplement no. 4 of this part. Section 
744.11 imposes license requirements, to the extent specified in 
supplement no. 4 to this part on entities listed in supplement no. 4 to 
this part for activities contrary to the national security or foreign 
policy interests of the United States. Sections 744.12, 744.13 and 
744.14 prohibit exports and reexports of any item subject to the EAR to 
persons designated as Specially Designated Global Terrorists, Specially 
Designated Terrorists, or Foreign Terrorist Organizations, respectively. 
Section 744.15 sets forth the conditions for exports, reexports, and 
transfers (in-country) to persons listed on the Unverified List (UVL) in 
supplement no. 6 of this part, the criteria for revising the UVL, as 
well as procedures for requesting removal or modification of a listing 
on the UVL. Section 744.16 sets forth the license requirements, policies 
and procedures for the Entity List. Section 744.19 sets forth BIS's 
licensing policy for applications for exports or reexports when a party 
to the transaction is an entity that has been sanctioned pursuant to any 
of three specified statutes that require certain license applications to 
be denied. Section 744.20 requires a license, to the extent specified in 
supplement no. 4 to this part, for exports and reexports of items 
subject to the EAR destined to certain sanctioned entities listed in 
supplement no. 4 to this part. In addition, these sections include 
license review standards for export license applications submitted as 
required by these sections. It should also be noted that part 764 of the 
EAR prohibits exports, reexports and certain transfers of items subject 
to the EAR to denied parties. Section 744.21 imposes restrictions for 
exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) of items on the CCL for a 
'military end use' or 'military end user' in the People's Republic of 
China (PRC or China), Russia, or Venezuela. Section 744.22 imposes 
restrictions on exports, reexports and transfers to persons whose 
property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to Executive 
Orders 13310, 13448, or 13464.
    (2) If controls set forth under more than one section of part 744 
apply to a person, the license requirements for such a person will be 
determined based on the requirements of all applicable sections of part 
744, and license applications will be reviewed under all applicable 
licensing policies.
    (b) Steps. The following are steps you should follow in using the 
provisions of this part:
    (1) Review end-use and end-user prohibitions. First, review each 
end-use and end-user prohibition described in this part to learn the 
scope of these prohibitions.
    (2) Determine applicability. Second, determine whether any of the 
end-use and end-user prohibitions described in this part are applicable 
to your planned export, reexport, transfer (in-country) or other 
activity. See supplement no. 1 to part 732 for guidance. For exports, 
reexports or transfers (in-country) that are in transit at the time you 
are informed by BIS that a license is required in accordance with Sec.
744.2(b), Sec.744.3(b), Sec.744.4(b) or Sec.744.6(b) of the EAR, 
you may not proceed any further with the transaction unless you first 
obtain a license from BIS (see part 748 of the EAR for instructions on 
how to apply for a license). The provisions of Sec.748.4(d)(2) shall 
not apply to license applications submitted pursuant to a notification 
from BIS that occurs while an export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) 
is in transit.

Sec.744.2  Restrictions on certain nuclear end-uses.

    (a) General prohibition. In addition to the license requirements for 
items specified on the CCL, you may not export, reexport, or transfer 
(in-country) to any destination, other than countries in supplement no. 
3 to this part, an item subject to the EAR without a license if, at the 
time of export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) you know \1\ that the 
item will be used directly or indirectly in any one or more of the 
following activities described in paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(3) 
of this section:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Part 772 of the EAR defines ``knowledge'' for all of the EAR 
except part 760, Restrictive Trade Practices and Boycotts. The 
definition, which includes variants such as ``know'' and ``reason to 
know'', encompasses more than positive knowledge. Thus, the use of 
``know'' in this section in place of the former wording ``know or have 
reason to know'' does not lessen or otherwise change the 
responsibilities of persons subject to the EAR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) Nuclear explosive activities. Nuclear explosive activities, 
including research on or development, design, manufacture, construction, 
testing or maintenance of any nuclear explosive device, or components or 
subsystems of such a device. \2 3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Nuclear explosive devices and any article, material, equipment, 
or device specifically designed or specially modified for use in the 
design, development, or fabrication of nuclear weapons or nuclear 
explosive devices are subject to export licensing or other requirements 
of the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, U.S. Department of State, 
or the licensing or other restrictions specified in the Atomic Energy 
Act of 1954, as amended. Similarly, items specifically designed or 
specifically modified for use in devising, carrying out, or evaluating 
nuclear weapons tests or nuclear explosions (except such items as are in 
normal commercial use for other purposes) are subject to the same 
requirements.
    \3\ Also see Sec. Sec.744.5 and 748.4 of the EAR for special 
provisions relating to technical data for maritime nuclear propulsion 
plants and other commodities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (2) Unsafeguarded nuclear activities. Activities including research 
on, or development, design, manufacture, construction, operation, or 
maintenance of any nuclear reactor, critical facility, facility for the 
fabrication of nuclear fuel, facility for the conversion of nuclear 
material from one chemical form to another, or separate storage 
installation, where there is no obligation to accept International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards at the relevant facility or 
installation when it contains any source or special fissionable material 
(regardless of whether or not it contains such material at the time of 
export), or where any such obligation is not met.
    (3) Safeguarded and unsafeguarded nuclear activities. Safeguarded 
and unsafeguarded nuclear fuel cycle activities, including research on 
or development, design, manufacture, construction, operation or 
maintenance of any of the following facilities, or components for such 
facilities: \4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Such activities may also require a specific authorization from 
the Secretary of Energy pursuant to Sec.57.b.(2) of the Atomic Energy 
Act of 1954, as amended, as implemented by the Department of Energy's 
regulations published in 10 CFR 810.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (i) Facilities for the chemical processing of irradiated special 
nuclear or source material;
    (ii) Facilities for the production of heavy water;
    (iii) Facilities for the separation of isotopes of source and 
special nuclear material; or
    (iv) Facilities for the fabrication of nuclear reactor fuel 
containing plutonium.
    (b) Additional prohibition on persons informed by BIS. BIS may 
inform persons, either individually by specific notice or through 
amendment to the EAR, that a license is required for a specific export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country), or for the export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) of specified items to a certain end-user, because 
there is an unacceptable risk of use in, or diversion to, the activities 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section. Specific notice is to be 
given only by, or at the direction of, the Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Export Administration. When such notice is provided orally, it will 
be followed by a written notice within two working days signed by the 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration. However, the 
absence of any such notification does not excuse persons from compliance

[[Page 396]]

with the license requirements of paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) Exceptions. Despite the prohibitions described in paragraphs (a) 
and (b) of this section, you may export technology subject to the EAR 
under the operation technology and software or sales technology and 
software provisions of License Exception TSU (see Sec.740.13(a) and 
(b)), but only to and for use in countries listed in supplement no. 3 to 
part 744 of the EAR (Countries Not Subject to Certain Nuclear End-Use 
Restrictions in Sec.744.2(a)). Notwithstanding the provisions of part 
740 of the EAR, the provisions of Sec.740.13(a) and (b) will only 
overcome General Prohibition Five for countries listed in supplement no. 
3 to part 744 of the EAR.
    (d) License review standards. The following factors are among those 
used by the United States to determine whether to grant or deny license 
applications required under this section:
    (1) Whether the commodities, software, or technology to be 
transferred are appropriate for the stated end-use and whether that 
stated end-use is appropriate for the end-user;
    (2) The significance for nuclear purposes of the particular 
commodity, software, or technology;
    (3) Whether the commodities, software, or technology to be exported 
are to be used in research on or for the development, design, 
manufacture, construction, operation, or maintenance of any reprocessing 
or enrichment facility;
    (4) The types of assurances or guarantees given against use for 
nuclear explosive purposes or proliferation in the particular case;
    (5) Whether the end-user has been engaged in clandestine or illegal 
procurement activities;
    (6) Whether an application for a license to export to the end-user 
has previously been denied, or whether the end-use has previously 
diverted items received under a license, License Exception, or NLR to 
unauthorized activities;
    (7) Whether the export would present an unacceptable risk of 
diversion to a nuclear explosive activity or unsafeguarded nuclear fuel-
cycle activity described in Sec.744.2(a) of the EAR;
    (8) The nonproliferation credentials of the importing country, based 
on consideration of the following factors:
    (i) Whether the importing country is a party to the Nuclear Non-
Proliferation Treaty (NPT) or to the Treaty for the Prohibition of 
Nuclear Weapons in Latin America (Treaty of Tlatelolco) (see supplement 
no. 2 to part 742 of the EAR), or to a similar international legally-
binding nuclear nonproliferation agreement;
    (ii) Whether the importing country has all of its nuclear 
activities, facilities or installations that are operational, being 
designed, or under construction, under International Atomic Energy 
Agency (IAEA) safeguards or equivalent full scope safeguards;
    (iii) Whether there is an agreement for cooperation in the civil 
uses of atomic energy between the U.S. and the importing country;
    (iv) Whether the actions, statements, and policies of the government 
of the importing country are in support of nuclear nonproliferation and 
whether that government is in compliance with its international 
obligations in the field of nonproliferation;
    (v) The degree to which the government of the importing country 
cooperates in nonproliferation policy generally (e.g., willingness to 
consult on international nonproliferation issues);
    (vi) Intelligence data on the importing country's nuclear intentions 
and activities; and
    (9) Whether the recipient state has sufficient national export 
controls (as described in paragraph 3 of United Nations Security Council 
Resolution 1540 (2004)) to prevent an unacceptable risk of retransfer or 
diversion to a nuclear explosive activity or unsafeguarded nuclear fuel-
cycle activity described in Sec.744.2(a) of the EAR.

    (i) The characteristics (i.e., range capabilities) of the rocket 
systems or unmanned aerial vehicles, or
    (ii) Whether the rocket systems or unmanned aerial vehicles, 
regardless of range capabilities, will be used in a manner prohibited 
under paragraph (a)(2) of this section.

    Note to paragraph (a) of this section: For the purposes of this 
section, ``Rocket Systems'' include, but are not limited to, ballistic 
missiles, space launch vehicles, and sounding rockets. Also, for the 
purposes of this section, ``unmanned aerial vehicles'' include, but are 
not limited to, cruise missiles, target drones and reconnaissance 
drones.

    (b) Additional prohibition on persons informed by BIS. BIS may 
inform persons, either individually by specific notice or through 
amendment to the EAR, that a license is required for a specific export, 
reexport or transfer (in-country) or for the export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) of specified items to a certain end-user, because 
there is an unacceptable risk of use in, or diversion to, the activities 
specified in paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section. Specific 
notice is to be given only by, or at the direction of, the Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Export Administration. When such notice is 
provided orally, it will be followed by a written notice within two 
working days signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration. However, the absence of any such notification does not 
excuse persons from compliance with the license requirements of 
paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) of this section.
    (c) Exceptions. No License Exceptions apply to the prohibitions 
described in paragraph (a) and (b) of this section.
    (d) License review standards. (1) Applications to export, reexport 
or transfer (in-country) the items subject to this section will be 
considered on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the export, 
reexport or transfer (in-country) would make a material contribution to 
the proliferation of certain rocket systems, or unmanned aerial 
vehicles. When an export, reexport or transfer (in-country) is deemed to 
make a material contribution, the license will be denied.
    (2) The following factors are among those that will be considered to 
determine what action should be taken on an application required by this 
section:
    (i) The specific nature of the end use;

item will be used in the design, development, production, stockpiling, 
or use of chemical or biological weapons in or by any country or 
destination, worldwide.
    (b) Additional prohibition on persons informed by BIS. BIS may 
inform persons, either individually by specific notice or through 
amendment to the EAR, that a license is required for a specific export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country), or for the export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) of specified items to a certain end-user, because 
there is an unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to the activities 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section, anywhere in the world. 
Specific notice is to be given only by, or at the direction of, the 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration. When such notice 
is provided orally, it will be followed by a written notice within two 
working days signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration. However, the absence of any such notification does not 
excuse persons from compliance with the license requirements of 
paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) Exceptions. No License Exceptions apply to the prohibitions 
described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section.
    (d) License review standards. (1) Applications to export, reexport,

from BIS, participate in the design, construction, export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) of a whole plant to make chemical weapons 
precursors identified in ECCN 1C350, in countries other than those 
listed in Country Group A:3 (Australia Group) (See supplement no. 1 to 
part 740 of the EAR).
    (b) Additional prohibitions on U.S. persons informed by BIS. BIS may 
inform U.S. persons, either individually by specific notice or through 
amendment to the EAR, that a license is required because an activity 
could involve the types of participation and support described in 
paragraph (a) of this section. Specific notice is to be given only by, 
or at the direction of, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration. When such notice is provided orally, it will be followed 
by a written notice within two working days signed by the Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Export Administration. However, the absence of 
any such notification does not excuse the U.S. person from compliance 
with the license requirements of paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) Definition of U.S. person. For purposes of this section, the 
term U.S. person includes:
    (1) Any individual who is a citizen of the United States, a 
permanent resident alien of the United States, or a protected individual 
as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3);
    (2) Any juridical person organized under the laws of the United 
States or any jurisdiction within the United States, including foreign 
branches; and

Sec.744.7  Restrictions on certain exports to and for the use of 
certain foreign vessels or aircraft.

    (a) General end-use prohibition. In addition to the license 
requirements for items specified on the CCL, you may not export or 
reexport an item subject to the EAR to, or for the use of, a foreign 
vessel or aircraft, whether an operating vessel or aircraft or one under

Sec.744.8  Restrictions on exports and reexports to persons designated
pursuant to Executive Order 13382--Blocking Property of Weapons of 
Mass Destruction Proliferators and Their Supporters.

    BIS maintains restrictions on exports and reexports to persons 
designated in or pursuant to Executive Order 13382 of June 28, 2005 
(Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferators and their Supporters). 
Executive Order 13382 blocks the property and interests in property of 
persons named in or designated pursuant to Executive Order 13382 in the 
United States or that comes within the United States or within the 
possession or control of United States persons. The parties whose 
property or interests in property are blocked pursuant to Executive 
Order 13382 are identified by the Department of the Treasury, Office of 
Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V with the 
bracketed suffix [NPWMD]. This section imposes export and reexport 
license requirements for items subject to the EAR on those same parties 
to further the objectives of Executive Order 13382.
    (a) License requirement(s) and authorization--(1) EAR license 
requirement. A license is required for the export or reexport of any 
item subject to the EAR to any party listed in appendix A to 31 CFR 
chapter V with the bracketed suffix [NPWMD].
    (2) BIS authorization. (i) To avoid duplication, U.S. persons are 
not required to seek separate authorization from BIS for an export or 
reexport to a party listed in appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V with the 
bracketed suffix [NPWMD] of an item subject to the EAR. If OFAC 
authorizes an export from the United States or an export or reexport by 
a U.S. person to a party listed in appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V with 
the bracketed suffix [NPWMD], such authorization constitutes 
authorization for purposes of the EAR as well.
    (ii) U.S. persons must seek authorization from BIS for the export or 
reexport to a party listed in appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V with the 
bracketed suffix [NPWMD] of any item subject to the EAR that is not 
subject to OFAC's regulatory authority pursuant to Executive Order 
13382.
    (iii) Non-U.S. persons must seek authorization from BIS for any 
export from abroad or reexport to a party listed in appendix A to 31 CFR 
chapter V with the bracketed suffix [NPWMD] of any item subject to the 
EAR.
    (iv) Any export or reexport to a party listed in appendix A to 31 
CFR chapter V with the bracketed suffix [NPWMD] of any item subject to 
the EAR and not authorized by OFAC is a violation of the EAR.
    (v) Any export or reexport by a U.S. person to a party listed in 
appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V with the bracketed suffix [NPWMD] of any 
item subject to the EAR that is not subject to regulation by OFAC and 
not authorized by BIS is a violation of the EAR. Any export from abroad 
or reexport by a non-U.S. person to a party listed in Appendix A to 31 
CFR Chapter V with the bracketed suffix [NPWMD] of any item subject to 
the EAR and not authorized by BIS is a violation of the EAR.
    (3) Relation to other EAR license requirements. The license 
requirements in this section supplement any other requirements set forth 
elsewhere in the EAR.

[[Page 402]]

    (b) License exceptions. No license exceptions are available for the 
EAR license requirements imposed in this section.
    (c) Licensing policy. Applications for EAR licenses required by this 
section generally will be denied. You should consult with OFAC 
concerning transactions subject to OFAC licensing requirements.
    (d) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity provisions are not 
available for license applications reviewed under this section.

[74 FR 2357, Jan. 15, 2009]



Sec.744.9  Restrictions on exports, reexports, and transfers 
(in-country) of certain cameras, systems, or related components.

    (a) General prohibitions. (1) In addition to the applicable license 
requirements for national security, regional stability, anti-terrorism 
and United Nations embargo reasons in Sec. Sec.742.4, 742.6, 742.8, 
746.1(b), and 746.3 of the EAR, a license is required to export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country) to any destination other than Canada 
commodities described in ECCNs 0A504 (incorporating commodities 
controlled by ECCNs 6A002 or 6A003, or commodities controlled by 6A993.a 
that meet the criterion of Note 3.a to 6A003.b.4), 6A002, 6A003, or 
6A993.a (having a maximum frame rate equal to or less than 9 Hz and thus 
meeting the criteria of Note 3.a to 6A003.b.4), or 8A002.d if at the 
time of export, reexport, or transfer, the exporter, reexporter, or 
transferor knows or is informed that the item will be or is intended to 
be:
    (i) Used by a ``military end-user,'' as defined in paragraph (d) of 
this section; or
    (ii) Incorporated into a ``military commodity'' controlled by ECCN 
0A919.
    (2) The license requirement described in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section does not apply to exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) 
of items described in that paragraph when such items are being 
reexported or transferred as part of a military deployment by a unit of 
the government of a country in Country Group A:1 (see Supplement No. 1 
to part 740).
    (b) Additional prohibition on exporters, reexporters, or transferors 
informed by BIS. BIS may inform an exporter, reexporter, or transferor, 
either individually by specific notice or through amendment to the EAR, 
that a license is required for the export, reexport, or transfer of 
commodities described in ECCNs 0A504 (incorporating commodities 
controlled by ECCNs 6A002 or 6A003, or commodities controlled by 6A993.a 
that meet the criterion of Note 3.a to 6A003.b.4), 6A002, 6A003, or 
6A993.a (having a maximum frame rate equal to or less than 9 Hz and thus 
meeting the criteria of Note 3.a to 6A003.b.4), or 8A002.d to specified 
end users, because BIS has determined that there is an unacceptable risk 
of diversion to the users or unauthorized incorporation into the 
``military commodities'' described in paragraph (a) of this section. 
Specific notice is to be given only by, or at the direction of, the 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration. When such notice 
is provided orally, it will be followed by a written notice within two 
working days signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration.
    (c) License review standard. Applications for licenses required by 
this section will be reviewed by applying the policies that would be 
applied under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR 
Parts 120-130).
    (d) Military end-user. In this section, the term ``military end-
user'' means the national armed services (army, navy, marine, air force, 
or coast guard), as well as the national guard and national police, 
government intelligence or reconnaissance organizations, or any person 
or entity whose actions or functions are intended to support ``military 
end-uses'' as defined in Sec.744.17(d).
    (e) Exception. Shipments subject to the prohibitions in paragraphs 
(a) and (b) of this section that are consigned to and for the official 
use of the U.S. Government authorized pursuant to Sec.740.11(b)(2)(ii) 
of the EAR may be made under License Exception GOV. No other license 
exceptions apply to the prohibitions described in paragraphs (a) and (b) 
of this section.

Sec.744.10  Restrictions on certain entities in Russia.

    (a) General prohibition. Certain entities in Russia are included in 
supplement no. 4 to this part 744 (Entity List). (See also Sec.
744.1(c) of the EAR.) A license is required, to the extent specified on 
the Entity List, to export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) any item 
subject to the EAR to such entities.
    (b) Exceptions. No License Exceptions apply to the prohibition 
described in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) License review standard. Applications to export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) items subject to the EAR to these entities will be 
reviewed with a presumption of denial.

[64 FR 14605, Mar. 26, 1999, as amended at 74 FR 45992, Sept. 8, 2009]



Sec.744.11  License requirements that apply to entities acting
contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests 
of the United States.

    BIS may impose foreign policy export, reexport, and transfer (in-
country) license requirements, limitations on availability of license 
exceptions, and set license application review policy based on the 
criteria in this section. Such requirements, limitations and policy are 
in addition to those set forth elsewhere in the EAR. License 
requirements, limitations on use of license exceptions and license 
application review policy will be imposed under this section by adding 
an entity to the Entity List (supp. no. 4 to this part) with a reference 
to this section and by stating on the Entity List the license 
requirements and license application review policy that apply to that 
entity. BIS may remove an entity from the Entity List if it is no longer 
engaged in the activities described in paragraph (b) of this section and 
is unlikely to engage in such activities in the future. BIS may modify 
the license exception limitations and license application review policy 
that applies to a particular entity to implement the policies of this 
section. BIS will implement the provisions of this section in accordance 
with the decisions of the End-User Review Committee or, if appropriate 
in a particular case, in accordance with the decisions of the body to 
which the End-User Review Committee decision is escalated. The End-User 
Review Committee will follow the procedures set forth in supplement no. 
5 to this part.
    (a) License requirement, availability of license exceptions, and 
license application review policy. A license is required, to the extent 
specified on the Entity List, to export, reexport, or transfer (in-
country) any item subject to the EAR when an entity that is listed on 
the Entity List is a party to the transaction as described in Sec.
748.5(c) through (f). License exceptions may not be used unless 
authorized in the Entity List entry for the entity that is party to the 
transaction. Applications for licenses required by this section will be 
evaluated as stated in the Entity List entry for the entity that is 
party to the transaction, in addition to any other applicable review 
policy stated elsewhere in the EAR.
    (b) Criteria for revising the Entity List. Entities for which there 
is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, 
that the entity has been involved, is involved, or poses a significant 
risk of being or becoming involved in activities that are contrary to 
the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States 
and those acting on behalf of such entities may be added to the Entity 
List pursuant to this section. This section may not be used to place on 
the Entity List any party to which exports or reexports require a 
license pursuant to Sec.744.12, Sec.744.13, Sec.744.14 or Sec.
744.18 of this part. This section may not be used to place on the Entity 
List any party if exports or reexports to that party of items that are 
subject to the EAR are prohibited by or require a license from another 
U.S. government agency. This section may not be used to place any U.S. 
person, as defined in Sec.772.1 of the EAR, on the Entity List. 
Examples (1) through (5) of this paragraph provide an illustrative list 
of activities that could be contrary to the national security or foreign 
policy interests of the United States.
    (1) Supporting persons engaged in acts of terror.
    (2) Actions that could enhance the military capability of, or the 
ability to support terrorism of governments that have been designated by 
the Secretary

[[Page 404]]

of State as having repeatedly provided support for acts of international 
terrorism.
    (3) Transferring, developing, servicing, repairing or producing 
conventional weapons in a manner that is contrary to United States 
national security or foreign policy interests or enabling such transfer, 
service, repair, development, or production by supplying parts, 
components, technology, or financing for such activity.
    (4) Preventing accomplishment of an end use check conducted by or on 
behalf of BIS or the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls of the 
Department of State by: precluding access to; refusing to provide 
information about; or providing false or misleading information about 
parties to the transaction or the item to be checked. The conduct in 
this example includes: expressly refusing to permit a check, providing 
false or misleading information, or engaging in dilatory or evasive 
conduct that effectively prevents the check from occurring or makes the 
check inaccurate or useless. A nexus between the conduct of the party to 
be listed and the failure to produce a complete, accurate and useful 
check is required, even though an express refusal by the party to be 
listed is not required.
    (5) Engaging in conduct that poses a risk of violating the EAR when 
such conduct raises sufficient concern that the End-User Review 
committee believes that prior review of exports, reexports, or transfers 
(in-country) involving the party and the possible imposition of license 
conditions or license denial enhances BIS's ability to prevent 
violations of the EAR.

Sec.744.12  Restrictions on exports and reexports to persons 
designated in or pursuant to Executive Order 13224 (Specially
Designated Global Terrorist) (SDGT).
          

    BIS maintains restrictions on exports and reexports to persons 
designated in or pursuant to Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 
(Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, 
Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism). These persons include 
individuals and entities listed in the Annex to Executive Order 13224, 
as well as persons subsequently designated by the Secretary of State or 
Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to criteria set forth in the Order. 
Pursuant to Executive Order 13224, the Department of the Treasury's 
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) maintains 31 CFR part 594, the 
Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations. OFAC announces the names of 
persons designated pursuant to Executive Order 13224 in the Federal 
Register and includes such persons in Appendix A to 31 CFR Chapter V, 
which lists persons subject to various sanctions programs administered 
by OFAC. The Department of State also announces the names of foreign 
persons designated pursuant to Executive Order 13224 in the Federal 
Register. All persons designated in or pursuant to Executive Order 13224 
are identified in Appendix A to 31 CFR Chapter V by the bracketed 
initials [SDGT] and are also known as Specially Designated Global 
Terrorists (SDGTs).
    (a) License requirement(s). (1) A license requirement applies to the 
export or reexport to an SDGT of any item subject to the EAR.
    (2) To avoid duplication, U.S. persons are not required to seek 
separate authorization for an export or reexport to an SDGT of an item 
subject to both the EAR and OFAC's regulatory authority pursuant to 
Executive Order 13224. Therefore, if OFAC authorizes an export from the 
United States or an export or reexport by a U.S. person to an SDGT, no 
separate authorization from BIS is necessary.
    (3) U.S. persons must seek authorization from BIS for the export or 
reexport to an SDGT of any item subject to the EAR that is not subject 
to OFAC's Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations in 31 CFR part 594.
    (4) Non-U.S. persons must seek authorization from BIS for any export 
from abroad or reexport to an SDGT of any item subject to the EAR.
    (5) Any export or reexport to an SDGT of any item subject to both 
the EAR and OFAC's regulatory authority pursuant to Executive Order 
13224 and

[[Page 405]]

not authorized by OFAC is a violation of the EAR.
    (6) Any export or reexport by a U.S. person to an SDGT of any item 
subject to the EAR that is not subject to regulation by OFAC and not 
authorized by BIS is a violation of the EAR. Any export from abroad or 
reexport by a non-U.S. person to an SDGT of any item subject to the EAR 
and not authorized by BIS is a violation of the EAR.
    (7) These licensing requirements supplement any other requirements 
set forth elsewhere in the EAR.
    (b) Exceptions. No License Exceptions or other BIS authorization are 
available for any export or reexport to an SDGT of any item subject to 
the EAR.
    (c) Licensing policy. Applications for licenses for the export or 
reexport to an SDGT of any item subject to the EAR generally will be 
denied. You should consult with OFAC concerning transactions subject to 
OFAC licensing requirements.
    (d) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity provisions are not 
available for license applications reviewed under this section.

    Note to Sec.744.12: This section does not implement, construe, or 
limit the scope of any criminal statute, including (but not limited to) 
18 U.S.C. 2339B(a)(1) and 2339A, and does not excuse any person from 
complying with any criminal statute, including (but not limited to) 18 
U.S.C. 2339B(a)(1) and 18 U.S.C. 2339A.

Sec.744.13  Restrictions on exports and reexports to persons 
designated pursuant to Executive Order 12947 (Specially Designated
Terrorist) (SDT).

    Consistent with the purpose of Executive Order 12947 of January 23, 
1995, BIS maintains restrictions on exports and reexports to Specially 
Designated Terrorists (SDTs). Executive Order 12947 prohibits 
transactions by U.S. persons with terrorists who threaten to disrupt the 
Middle East peace process. Pursuant to the Executive Order, the 
Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), 
maintains 31 CFR part 595, the Terrorism Sanctions Regulations. In 
Appendix A to 31 CFR Chapter V, pursuant to 31 CFR part 595, these 
Specially Designated Terrorists are identified by the bracketed suffix 
initials [SDT]. The requirements set forth below further the objectives 
of Executive Order 12947.
    (a) License requirement(s). (1) A license requirement applies to the 
export or reexport to an SDT of any item subject to the EAR.
    (2) To avoid duplication, U.S. persons are not required to seek 
separate authorization for an export or reexport to an SDT of an item 
subject both to the EAR and to OFAC's Terrorism Sanctions Regulations in 
31 CFR part 595. Therefore, if OFAC authorizes an export or reexport of 
an item by a U.S. person to a SDT, no separate authorization from BIS is 
necessary.
    (3) U.S. persons must seek authorization from BIS for the export or 
reexport to an SDT of an item subject to the EAR but not subject to 
OFAC's Terrorism Sanctions Regulations in 31 CFR part 595.
    (4) Non-U.S. persons must seek authorization from BIS for the export 
from abroad or reexport to an SDT of any item subject to the EAR.
    (5) Any export or reexport to an SDT by a U.S. person of any item 
subject both to the EAR and OFAC's Terrorism Sanctions Regulations in 31 
CFR part 595 and not authorized by OFAC is a violation of the EAR.
    (6) Any export or reexport by a U.S. person to an SDT of any item 
subject to the EAR that is not subject to OFAC's Terrorism Sanctions 
Regulations in 31 CFR part 595 and not authorized by BIS is a violation 
of the EAR. Any export from abroad or reexport by a non-U.S. person to 
an SDT of any item subject to the EAR and not authorized by BIS is a 
violation of the EAR.
    (7) These licensing requirements supplement any other requirements 
set forth elsewhere in the EAR.
    (b) Exceptions. No License Exceptions or other BIS authorization are 
available for export or reexport to an SDT of any item subject to the 
EAR.
    (c) Licensing policy. Applications for licenses for the export or 
reexport to an SDT of any item subject to the EAR generally will be 
denied. You should consult with OFAC concerning transactions subject to 
OFAC licensing requirements.

    (d) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity provisions are not 
available for license applications reviewed under this section.

    Note to Sec.744.13: This section does not implement, construe, or 
limit the scope of any criminal statute, including (but not limited to) 
18 U.S.C. 2339B(a)(1) and 2339A, and does not excuse any person from 
complying with any criminal statute, including (but not limited to) 18

Sec.744.14  Restrictions on exports and reexports to designated 
Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).

    Consistent with the objectives of section 219 of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act, as amended (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1189), and section 303 of 
the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act 1996, as amended 
(Anti-Terrorism Act) (18 U.S.C. 2339B) (Public Law 104-132. 110 Stat. 
1214-1319), BIS maintains restrictions on exports and reexports to 
organizations designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) 
pursuant to section 219 of the INA. The Department of the Treasury, 
Office of Foreign Assets Control, maintains 31 CFR part 597, the Foreign 
Terrorist Organizations Sanctions Regulations, requiring U.S. financial 
institutions to block all financial transactions involving assets of 
designated FTOs within the possession or control of such U.S. financial 
institutions. Section 303 of the Anti-Terrorism Act prohibits persons 
within the United States or subject to U.S. jurisdiction from knowingly 
providing material support or resources to a designated FTO and makes 
violations punishable by criminal penalties under title 18, United 
States Code. These designated FTOs are listed in Appendix A to 31 CFR 
Chapter V and identified by the bracketed initials [FTO]. A designation 
of a foreign organization determined to meet the criteria of section 219 
of the INA takes effect upon publication in the Federal Register by the 
Secretary of State, or the Secretary's designee.
    (a) License requirement(s). (1) A license requirement applies to the 
export or reexport to an FTO of any item subject to the EAR.
    (2) U.S. persons must seek authorization from BIS for the export or 
reexport to an FTO of any item subject to the EAR.
    (3) Non-U.S. persons must seek authorization from BIS for the export 
from abroad or reexport to an FTO of any item subject to the EAR.
    (4) Any export or reexport to an FTO by any person of any item 
subject to the EAR and not authorized by BIS is a violation of the EAR.
    (5) These licensing requirements supplement any other requirements 
set forth elsewhere in the EAR.
    (b) Exceptions. No License Exceptions or other BIS authorization for 
items described by paragraph (a) of this section are available for 
exports or reexports to FTOs.
    (c) Licensing policy. Applications for exports and reexports to FTOs 
of all items identified by paragraph (a) of this section will generally 
be denied, to the extent they constitute material support or resources, 
as defined in 18 U.S.C. 2339A(b).
    (d) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity provisions are not 
available for license applications reviewed under this section.
    (e) FTOs also designated as SDTs or SDGTs. In cases in which an FTO 
is also an SDT, as described in Sec.744.13, or an SDGT, as described 
in Sec.744.12, the license requirements and licensing policy set forth 
in Sec.744.13 or Sec.744.12 will apply.

    Note to Sec.744.14: This section does not implement, construe, or 
limit the scope of any criminal statute, including (but not limited to) 
18 U.S.C. 2339B(a)(1) and 2339A, and does not excuse any person from 
complying with any criminal statute, including (but not limited to) 18 
U.S.C. 2339B(a)(1) and 18 U.S.C. 2339A.

Sec.744.15  Restrictions on exports, reexports and transfers
(in-country) to persons listed on the unverified list.

    (a) General requirement. In addition to the requirements set forth 
elsewhere in the EAR, exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) 
subject to the EAR involving parties to the transaction who are listed 
on the Unverified List (UVL) must be made in accordance with paragraph 
(b) of this section. The names

[[Page 407]]

and addresses of foreign persons subject to end-user controls based on 
the criteria described in paragraph (c) of this section are identified 
in the Unverified List found in supplement no. 6 to this part. 
Requirements found elsewhere in the EAR also apply, including but not 
limited to any license requirements, the record filing requirements 
pursuant to Sec.758.1(b)(8), and the restrictions on license 
exceptions described in Sec.740.2(a)(17) of the EAR.
    (b) UVL statement. Before proceeding with any export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) subject to the EAR that is not subject to a 
license requirement, involving a person listed on the Unverified List as 
a party described in Sec.748.5 of the EAR, an exporter, reexporter, or 
transferor (in-country) must obtain a UVL statement from such person, 
according to the provisions set forth in this section. The statement 
must be retained in accordance with part 762 of the EAR.
    (1) One UVL statement may be used for multiple exports, reexports, 
and transfers (in-country) of the same items between the same parties, 
so long as the party names, the description(s) of the items and the 
ECCNs are correct. If one UVL statement is used for multiple exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country), the exporter, reexporter, and 
transferor must maintain a log or other record that identifies each 
export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) made pursuant to this 
section and the specific UVL statement that is associated with each. The 
log or record must be retained in accordance with Part 762 of the EAR.
    (2) The UVL statement must be in writing, signed and dated by an 
individual of sufficient authority to legally bind the UVL party, and 
state the following:
    (i) Name of UVL party; complete physical address, to include 
shipping, corporate, and end user addresses, if different (simply 
listing a post office box is insufficient); telephone number; fax 
number; email address; Web site (if available); and name and title of 
individual signing the UVL statement.
    (ii) Agrees not to use the item(s) for any use prohibited by the 
United States Export Administration Regulations (EAR), 15 CFR Parts 730-
772, and agrees not to reexport or transfer (in-country) the item(s) to 
any destination, use or user prohibited by the EAR.
    (iii) Declares that the end use, end user, and country of ultimate 
destination of the item(s) subject to the EAR are as follows: [INSERT 
END USE, END USER, AND COUNTRY OF ULTIMATE DESTINATION].
    (iv) Agrees to cooperate with end-use checks, including a Post-
Shipment Verification, conducted by or on behalf of the Bureau of 
Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, for any item subject 
to the EAR in transactions to which they were a party in the last five 
years. This cooperation includes facilitating the timely conduct of the 
check and providing full and accurate information concerning the 
disposition of items subject to the EAR.
    (v) Agrees to provide copies of this document and all other export, 
reexport or transfer (in-country) records required to be retained in 
part 762 of the EAR.
    (vi) Certifies that the individual signing the UVL statement has 
sufficient authority to legally bind the party.
    (c) Criteria for revising the Unverified List. (1) Foreign persons 
who are parties to an export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) 
subject to the EAR may be added to the Unverified List if BIS or federal 
officials acting on BIS's behalf cannot verify the bona fides (i.e., 
legitimacy and reliability relating to the end use and end user of items 
subject to the EAR) of such persons because an end-use check, such as a 
pre-license check (PLC) or a post-shipment verification (PSV), cannot be 
completed satisfactorily for reasons outside of the U.S. Government's 
control. Examples in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section 
provide an illustrative list of those circumstances.
    (i) During the conduct of an end-use check, the subject of the check 
is unable to demonstrate the disposition of items subject to the EAR.
    (ii) The existence or authenticity of the subject of an end-use 
check cannot be verified (e.g., the subject of the check cannot be 
located or contacted).
    (iii) Lack of cooperation by the host government authority prevents 
an end-use check from being conducted.

[[Page 408]]

    (2) BIS will remove a person from the Unverified List when BIS is 
able to verify the bona fides of the listed person as an end user, 
consignee, or other party to exports, reexports, or transfers (in-
country) involving items subject to the EAR by completing a PLC or PSV. 
In the limited circumstance involving a PLC or PSV that cannot be 
completed due to lack of host government cooperation, an alternative 
bona fides verification process may be determined by BIS to be 
sufficient. A determination to remove a person from the Unverified List 
based on the criteria in this paragraph is separate from any 
determination made by BIS pursuant to Sec.744.11(b) of the EAR, and 
must be requested through paragraph (d) of this section.
    (d) Procedure for requesting removal of a person on the Unverified 
List. Any person listed on the Unverified List may request that its 
listing be amended or removed.
    (1) All such requests, including reasons therefor and information 
that verifies the bona fides, i.e., legitimacy and reliability of the 
person listed on the Unverified List as an end user, consignee or other 
party to exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of items subject 
to the EAR, must be in writing and sent to: Director, Office of 
Enforcement Analysis, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department 
of Commerce, 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Room 4065, 
Washington, DC 20230, via fax to (202) 482-0971, or by email to 
[email protected].
    (2) The Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement will 
review such requests and will convey the decision on the request to the 
requester in writing based on an assessment of the listed person's bona 
fides as a party to exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) 
subject to the EAR. That decision will be the final agency action on the 
request.

entity is a party to a transaction as described in Sec.748.5(c) 
through (f) of the EAR. The specific license requirement for each listed 
entity is identified in the license requirement column on the Entity 
List in Supplement No. 4 to this part.
    (b) License exceptions. No license exceptions are available for 
exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) to listed entities of 
specified items, except license exceptions for items listed in Sec.
740.2(a)(5) of the EAR destined to listed Indian or Pakistani entities 
to ensure the safety of civil aviation and safe operation of commercial 
passenger aircraft, and in the case of entities added to the Entity List

    (c) License review policy--(1) General review policy. The license 
review policy for each listed entity is identified in the License Review 
Policy column on the Entity List.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (d) The End-User Review Committee (ERC). The End-User Review 
Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of the Departments of 
Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where appropriate, the 
Treasury, generally makes decisions regarding additions to, removals 
from, or other modifications to the Entity List.
    (e) Removal or modification requests. Any entity listed on the

    (1) Review. The ERC will review such requests in accordance with the 
procedures set forth in Supplement No. 5 to this part.
    (2) BIS action. The Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration will convey the decision on the request to the requester 
in writing. That decision will be the final agency action on the 
request.

Sec.744.17  Restrictions on certain exports, reexports and transfers
(in-country) of microprocessors and associated ``software'' and 
``technology'' for ``military end uses'' and to ``military end users.''
          

    (a) General prohibition. In addition to the license requirements set 
forth elsewhere in the EAR, you may not export, reexport or transfer 
(in-country) microprocessors (``microprocessor microcircuits,'' 
``microcomputer microcircuits,'' and microcontroller microcircuits 
having a processing speed of 5 GFLOPS or more and an arithmetic logic 
unit with an access width of 32 bit or more, including those 
incorporating ``information security'' functionality), or associated 
``software'' and ``technology'' for the ``production'' or 
``development'' of such microprocessors without a license if, at the 
time of the export, reexport or transfer (in-country), you know, have 
reason to know, or are informed by BIS that the item will be or is 
intended to be used for a 'military end use,' as defined in paragraph 
(d) of this section, in a destination listed in Country Group D:1 (see 
supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR); or by a 'military end user,' 
as defined in paragraph (e) of this section, in a destination listed in 
Country Group D:1.
    (b) Additional prohibition on exporters or reexporters informed by 
BIS. BIS may inform an exporter, reexporter or transferor, either 
individually by specific notice or through amendment to the EAR, that a 
license is required for export, reexport or transfer (in-country) of 
items described in paragraph (a) of this section to specified end users, 
because BIS has determined that there is an unacceptable risk of 
diversion to the end uses or end users described in paragraph (a) of 
this section. Specific notice is to be given only by, or at the 
direction of, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration. 
When such notice is provided orally, it will be followed by a written 
notice within two working days signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Export Administration. The absence of any such notification does not 
excuse the exporter, reexporter or transferor from compliance with the 
license requirements of paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) License review standards. There is a presumption of denial for 
applications to export, reexport or transfer (in-country) items subject 
to this section.
    (d) Military end-use. In this section, the phrase `military end use' 
means incorporation into: a military item described on the U.S. 
Munitions List (USML) (22 CFR part 121, International Traffic in Arms 
Regulations) or the Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions List (as set out on 
the Wassenaar Arrangement Web site at http://www.wassenaar.org); 
commodities classified under ECCNs ending in ``A018'' or under ``600 
series'' ECCNs; or any commodity that is designed for the ``use,'' 
``development,'' ``production,'' or deployment of military items 
described on the USML, the Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions List or 
classified under ECCNs ending in ``A018'' or under ``600 series'' ECCNs. 
supplement No. 1 of this part lists examples of 'military end use.'
    (e) Military end user. In this section, the term 'military end user' 
means the national armed services (army, navy, marine, air force, or 
coast guard), as well as the national guard and national police, 
government intelligence or reconnaissance organizations, or any person 
or entity whose actions or functions are intended to support 'military 
end uses' as defined in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (f) Exceptions. The prohibitions described in paragraphs (a) and (b) 
of this section supersede any license exception or No License Required 
(NLR) designation that would otherwise apply to a transaction subject to 
the EAR, except

[[Page 410]]

that this license requirement does not apply to exports, reexports or 
transfers (in-country) of items for or on behalf of the official use by 
personnel and agencies of the U.S. Government or to agencies of a 
cooperating government authorized by License Exception GOV pursuant to 
Sec.740.11 of the EAR. See Sec.740.11(b)(1) of the EAR for the 
definition of 'agency of the U.S. Government' and Sec.740.11(c)(1) for 
the definition of 'agency of a cooperating government.'

[79 FR 75046, Dec. 17, 2014]



Sec.744.18  Restrictions on exports, reexports, and transfers to 
persons designated in or pursuant to Executive Order 13315.

    Consistent with Executive Order (E.O.) 13315 of August 28, 2003 
(``Blocking Property of the Former Iraqi Regime, Its Senior Officials 
and Their Family Members, and Taking Certain Other Actions''), BIS 
maintains restrictions on exports, reexports, and transfers to persons 
designated in or pursuant to E.O. 13315. These persons include 
individuals and entities listed in the Annex to Executive Order 13315, 
as well as persons subsequently designated pursuant to criteria set 
forth in the order. OFAC includes the names of persons designated 
pursuant to E.O. 13315 in appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V, which lists 
persons subject to various sanctions programs administered by OFAC. All 
persons designated in or pursuant to E.O. 13315 are identified in 
appendix A by the bracketed initials [IRAQ2].
    (a) License requirements. (1) A license requirement applies to the 
export, reexport, or transfer of any item subject to the EAR to--
    (i) Persons listed in the Annex to E.O. 13315 of August 28, 2003; or
    (ii) Persons determined to be subject to E.O. 13315.
    (2) To avoid duplication, U.S. persons are not required to seek 
separate BIS authorization for an export, reexport, or transfer to a 
person identified in paragraph (a) of this section of any item subject 
to both the EAR and regulations maintained by OFAC. Therefore, if OFAC 
authorizes an export from the United States or an export, reexport, or 
transfer by a U.S. person to a person identified in paragraph (a) of 
this section, no separate authorization from BIS is necessary.
    (3) U.S. persons must seek authorization from BIS for the export, 
reexport, or transfer to a person identified in paragraph (a) of this 
section of any item subject to the EAR but not subject to regulations 
maintained by OFAC.
    (4) Non-U.S. persons must seek authorization from BIS for the export 
from abroad, reexport, or transfer to a person identified in paragraph 
(a) of this section of any item subject to the EAR.
    (5) Any export, reexport, or transfer to a person identified in 
paragraph (a) of this section by a U.S. person of any item subject both 
to the EAR and regulations maintained by OFAC and not authorized by OFAC 
is a violation of the EAR.
    (6) Any export, reexport, or transfer by a U.S. person to a person 
identified in paragraph (a) of this section of any item subject to the 
EAR that is not subject to regulations maintained by OFAC and not 
authorized by BIS is a violation of the EAR. Any export from abroad, 
reexport, or transfer by a non-U.S. person to a person identified in 
paragraph (a) of this section of any item subject to the EAR and not 
authorized by BIS is a violation of the EAR.
    (7) These licensing requirements supplement any other requirements 
set forth elsewhere in the EAR.
    (b) Exceptions. No License Exceptions or other BIS authorizations 
are available for export, reexport, or transfer to a person identified 
in paragraph (a) of this section of any item subject to the EAR.
    (c) Licensing policy. Applications for licenses for the export, 
reexport, or transfer to a person identified in paragraph (a) of this 
section of any item subject to the EAR will generally be denied. You 
should consult with OFAC concerning transactions subject to OFAC 
licensing requirements.
    (d) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity provisions are not 
available for license applications reviewed under this section.

Sec.744.19  Licensing policy regarding persons sanctioned pursuant
to specified statutes.

    Notwithstanding any other licensing policy elsewhere in the EAR, BIS 
will deny any export or reexport license application if any person who 
is a party to the transaction (i.e., the applicant, other party 
authorized to receive a license, purchaser, intermediate consignee, 
ultimate consignee, or end-user) is subject to one or more of the 
sanctions described in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and (e) of this section 
and will deny any export or reexport license application for an item 
listed on the Commerce Control List with a reason for control of MT if a 
person who is a party to the transaction is subject to a sanction 
described in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (a) A sanction issued pursuant to the Iran-Iraq Arms 
Nonproliferation Act of 1992 (50 U.S.C. 1701 note) that prohibits the 
issuance of any license to or by the sanctioned person.
    (b) A sanction issued pursuant to the Iran, North Korea, and Syria 
Nonproliferation Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 note) that prohibits the granting 
of a license and requires the suspension of an existing license for the 
transfer to foreign persons of items, the export of which is controlled 
under the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 
2401-2420), or the Export Administration Regulations.
    (c) A sanction issued pursuant to section 11B(b)(1)(B)(ii) of the 
Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 2401-
2420), that prohibits the issuance of new licenses for exports to the 
sanctioned person of items controlled pursuant to the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, as amended.
    (d) A sanction issued pursuant to section 11B(b)(1)(B)(i) of the 
Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 2401-
2420), that prohibits the issuance of new licenses for exports to the 
sanctioned person of MTCR Annex equipment or technology controlled 
pursuant to the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended.
    (e) A sanction issued pursuant to the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 (50 
U.S.C. 1701 note) that prohibits the issuance of a specific license or 
grant of any other specific permission or authority to export any goods 
or technology to a sanctioned person under the Export Administration Act 
of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 2401-2420).

[77 FR 5388, Feb. 3, 2012]



Sec.744.20  License requirements that apply to certain sanctioned
entities.

    BIS may impose, as foreign policy controls, export, reexport, and 
transfer (in-country) license requirements and set licensing policy with 
respect to certain entities that have been sanctioned by the State 
Department. Such license requirements and policy are in addition to 
those imposed elsewhere in the EAR. License requirements and licensing 
policy may be imposed pursuant to this section even when the sanction 
and the legal authority under which the State Department imposed the 
sanction do not require or authorize the imposition of any license 
requirement or licensing policy. License requirements and licensing 
policy will be imposed pursuant to this section by adding an entity to 
the Entity List in accordance with paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this 
section.
    (a) General requirement. Certain entities that have been sanctioned 
by the State Department are listed in supplement no. 4 to this part (the 
Entity List) with a reference to this section. A license is required, to 
the extent specified on the Entity List, to export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) any item to such entities.
    (b) License Exceptions. No license exception may be used to export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country) to such entities unless specifically 
authorized on the Entity List.
    (c) Licensing policy. Applications to export, reexport, or transfer 
(in-country) to such entities will be reviewed according to the 
licensing policy set forth on the Entity List.

[70 FR 10867, Mar. 7, 2005, as amended at 74 FR 45992, Sept. 8, 2009]



Sec.744.21  Restrictions on certain 'military end use' or 'military 
end user' in the People's Republic of China, Russia, or Venezuela.

    (a) General prohibition. In addition to the license requirements for 
items specified on the Commerce Control

[[Page 412]]

List (CCL), you may not export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) any 
item subject to the EAR listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 744 to the 
People's Republic of China (China), Russia, or Venezuela without a 
license if, at the time of the export, reexport, or transfer (in-
country), you have ``knowledge,'' as defined in Sec.772.1 of the EAR, 
that the item is intended, entirely or in part, for a 'military end 
use,' as defined in paragraph (f) of this section, or 'military end 
user,' as defined in paragraph (g) of this section, in China, Russia, or 
Venezuela.
    (b) Additional prohibition on those informed by BIS. BIS may inform 
you either individually by specific notice, through amendment to the EAR 
published in the Federal Register, or through a separate notice 
published in the Federal Register, that a license is required for 
specific exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of any item 
because there is an unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to a 
'military end use' or 'military end user' in China, Russia, or 
Venezuela. Specific notice will be given only by, or at the direction 
of, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration. When such 
notice is provided orally, it will be followed by written notice within 
two working days signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration or the Deputy Assistant Secretary's designee. The absence 
of BIS notification does not excuse the exporter from compliance with 
the license requirements of paragraph (a) of this section.
    (1) 'Military End-User' (MEU) List BIS may inform and provide notice 
to the public that certain entities are subject to the additional 
prohibition described under this paragraph (b) following a determination 
by the End-User Review Committee (ERC) that a specific entity is a 
'military end user' pursuant to this section and therefore any exports, 
reexports, or transfers (in-country) to that entity represent an 
unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to a 'military end use' or 
'military end user' in China, Russia, or Venezuela. Such entities may be 
added to supplement no. 7 to part 744-- 'Military End-User' (MEU) List 
through Federal Register notices published by BIS, and will thus be 
subject to a license requirement for exports, reexports, or transfers 
(in-country) of items specified in supplement no. 2 to part 744. The 
listing of entities under supplement no. 7 to part 744 is not an 
exhaustive listing of 'military end users' for purposes of this section. 
Exporters, reexporters, and transferors are responsible for determining 
whether transactions with entities not listed on supplement no. 7 to 
part 744 are subject to a license requirement under paragraph (a) of 
this section. The process in paragraph this (b)(1) for placing entities 
on the MEU List is only one method BIS may use to inform exporters, 
reexporters, and transferors of license requirements under this section.
    (i) End-User Review Committee (ERC). The End-User Review Committee 
(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 MEU List. Decisions by the ERC for purposes of the 
MEU List will be made following the procedures identified in this 
section and in supplement no. 5 to part 744--Procedures for End-User 
Review Committee Entity List and 'Military End User' (MEU) List 
Decisions.
    (ii) License requirement for parties to the transaction. The license 
requirement for entities listed in supplement no. 7 to part 744 applies 
to the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of any item subject to 
the EAR listed in supplement no. 2 to part 744 when an entity that is 
listed on the MEU List is a party to the transaction as described in 
Sec.748.5(c) through (f).
    (2) Requests for removal from or modification of 'Military End User' 
(MEU) List. Any entity listed on the MEU List may request that its 
listing be removed or modified. All such requests, including reasons 
therefor, must be in writing and sent to: Chair, End-User Review 
Committee, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, 
14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room 3886, Washington, DC 20230. 
In order for an entity listed on the MEU List to petition BIS for their 
removal or modification, as applicable, the entity must address why the

[[Page 413]]

entity is not a 'military end user' for purposes of Sec.744.21.
    (i) Review. The ERC will review such requests for removal or 
modification in accordance with the procedures set forth in supplement 
no. 5 to this part.
    (ii) BIS action. The Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration will convey the decision on the request to the requester 
in writing. That decision will be the final agency action on the 
request.
    (c) License exception. Despite the prohibitions described in 
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, you may export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) items subject to the EAR under the provisions of 
License Exception GOV set forth in Sec.740.11(b)(2)(i) and (ii) of the 
EAR.
    (d) License application procedure. When submitting a license 
application pursuant to this section, you must state in the ``additional 
information'' block of the application that ``this application is 
submitted because of the license requirement in Sec.744.21 of the EAR 
(Restrictions on a 'Military End Use' or 'Military End User' in the 
People's Republic of China, Russia, or Venezuela).'' In addition, either 
in the additional information block of the application or in an 
attachment to the application, you must include all known information 
concerning the 'military end use' and 'military end user(s)' of the 
item(s). If you submit an attachment with your license application, you 
must reference the attachment in the ``additional information'' block of 
the application.
    (e) License review standards. (1) Applications to export, reexport, 
or transfer (in-country) items described in paragraph (a) of this

\1\ Foreign-produced direct product items involving footnote 1 designated entities. You may not reexport, export
  from abroad, or transfer (in-country) without a license or license exception any foreign-produced item
  specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this footnote when there is ``knowledge'' that:
(1) The foreign-produced item will be incorporated into, or will be used in the ``production'' or
  ``development'' of any ``part,'' ``component,'' or ``equipment'' produced, purchased, or ordered by any entity
  with a footnote 1 designation in the license requirement column of this supplement; or
(2) Any entity with a footnote 1 designation in the license requirement column of this supplement is a party to
  any transaction involving the foreign-produced item, e.g., as a ``purchaser,'' ``intermediate consignee,''
  ``ultimate consignee,'' or ``end-user.''
Note to introductory paragraph of footnote 1: Sophistication and capabilities of technology in items is a factor
  in license application review; license applications for foreign-produced items controlled by this footnote
  that are capable of supporting the ``development'' or ``production'' of telecom systems, equipment and devices
  at only below the 5G level (e.g., 4G, 3G, etc.) will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
(a) Direct product of ``technology'' or ``software'' subject to the EAR and specified in certain Category 3, 4
  or 5 ECCNs. The foreign-produced item is a direct product of ``technology'' or ``software'' subject to the EAR
  and specified in Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 3D001, 3D991, 3E001, 3E002, 3E003, 3E991, 4D001,

(b) Direct product of a plant or major component of a plant. The foreign-produced item is produced by any plant
  or major component of a plant that is located outside the United States, when the plant or major component of
  a plant, whether made in the U.S. or a foreign country, itself is a direct product of U.S.-origin
  ``technology'' or ``software'' subject to the EAR that is specified in ECCN 3D001, 3D991, 3E001, 3E002, 3E003,
  3E991, 4D001, 4D993, 4D994, 4E001, 4E992, 4E993, 5D001, 5D991, 5E001, or 5E991 of the CCL.
Notes to paragraph (b) of footnote 1:
(1) A major component of a plant located outside the United States means equipment that is essential to the
  ``production'' of an item, including testing equipment.
(2) A foreign-produced item includes any foreign-produced wafer whether finished or unfinished.
\2\ Cybersecurity research and vulnerability disclosure. The following exports, reexports, and transfers (in-
  country) to Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei) and its non-U.S. affiliates on the Entity List for
  cybersecurity research and vulnerability disclosure subject to other provisions of the EAR are excluded from
  the Entity List license requirements: when the disclosure to Huawei and/or to its listed non-U.S. affiliates
  is limited to information regarding security vulnerabilities in items owned, possessed, or controlled by
  Huawei or any of its non-U.S. affiliates when related to the process of providing ongoing security research
  critical to maintaining the integrity and reliability of existing and currently 'fully operational network'
  and equipment. A 'fully operational network' refers to a 'third party' network providing services to the
  'third party's' customers. The term 'third party' refers to a party that is not Huawei, one of its listed non-
  U.S. affiliates, or the exporter, reexporter, or transferor, but rather an organization such as a
  telecommunications service provider.

   Sec. Supplement No. 5 to Part 744--Procedures for End-User Review 
   Committee Entity List and 'Military End User' (MEU) List Decisions

    The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of 
the Departments of Commerce, State, Defense, Energy and, where 
appropriate, the Treasury, will make all decisions to make additions to, 
removals from or changes to the Entity List and the 'Military End User' 
(MEU) List. The ERC will be chaired by the Department of Commerce and 
will make 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.
    When determining to add an entity to the Entity List or MEU List or 
to modify an existing entry, the ERC will also specify the section or 
sections of the EAR that provide the basis for that determination. All 
additions and modifications to the MEU List are done pursuant to Sec.
744.21(b). The license requirements, the license application review 
policy, or the availability of license exceptions for entities on the 
MEU List are specified in Sec.744.21 under paragraphs (b) to (e). In 
addition, for the Entity List if the section or sections that form the 
basis for an addition or modification do not specify the license 
requirements, the license application review policy, or the availability 
of license exceptions, the ERC will specify the license requirements, 
the license application review policy and which license exceptions (if 
any) will be available for shipments to that entity.
    Any agency that participates in the ERC may make a proposal for an 
addition to, modification of, or removal of an entry from the Entity 
List or MEU List by submitting that proposal to the chairperson.
    The ERC will vote on each proposal no later than 30 days after the 
chairperson first circulates it to all member agencies unless the ERC 
unanimously agrees to postpone the vote. If a member agency is not 
satisfied with the outcome of the vote of the ERC that agency may 
escalate the matter to the Advisory Committee on Export Policy (ACEP). A 
member agency that is not satisfied with the decision of the ACEP may 
escalate the matter to the Export Administration Review Board (EARB). An 
agency that is not satisfied with the decision of the EARB may escalate 
the matter to the President.
    The composition of the ACEP and EARB as well as the procedures and 
time frames shall be the same as those specified in Executive Order 
12981 as amended by Executive Orders 13020, 13026 and 13117 for license 
applications. If at any stage, a decision by majority vote is not 
obtained by the prescribed deadline the matter shall be raised to the 
next level.
    A final decision by the ERC (or the ACEP or EARB or the President, 
as may be applicable in a particular case) to make an addition to, 
modification of, or removal of an entry from the Entity List or MEU List 
shall operate as clearance by all member agencies to publish the 
addition, modification or removal as an amendment to the Entity List or 
MEU List even if, in the case of a decision by the ERC to add an entry 
or any decision by the ACEP or EARB, such decision is not unanimous. 
Such amendments will not be further reviewed through the regular Export 
Administration Regulations interagency review process.
    A proposal by the ERC to make any change to the EAR other than an 
addition to, modification of, or removal of an entry from the Entity 
List or MEU List shall operate as a recommendation and shall not be 
treated as interagency clearance of an EAR amendment. The chairperson of 
the ERC will be responsible for circulating to all member agencies 
proposals submitted to him or her by any member agency. The chairperson 
will be

[[Page 644]]

responsible for serving as secretary to the ACEP and EARB for all review 
of ERC matters. The chairperson will communicate all final decisions 
that require Entity List or MEU List amendments, to the Bureau of 
Industry and Security which shall be responsible for drafting the 
necessary changes to the Entity List and MEU List. If the ERC decides in 
a particular case that a party should be informed individually instead 
of by EAR amendment the chairperson will be responsible for preparing 
the ``is informed'' letter for the signature of the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Export Administration.
    A listed entity may present a request to remove or modify its Entity 
List or the MEU List entry along with supporting information to the 
chairman at Room 3886, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230. The chairperson shall 
refer all such requests and supporting information to all member 
agencies. The member agencies will review and vote on all such requests. 
The time frames, procedures and right of escalation by a member agency 
that is dissatisfied with the results that apply to proposals made by a 
member agency shall apply to these requests. The decision of the ERC (or 
the ACEP or EARB or the President, as may be applicable in a particular 
case) shall be the final agency decision on the request and shall not be 
appealable under part 756 of the EAR. The chairperson will prepare the 
response to the party who made the request. The response will state the 
decision on the request and the fact that the response is the final 
agency decision on the request. The response will be signed by the 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration.
    The End-User Review Committee will conduct regular reviews of the 
Entity List and MEU List for the purpose of determining whether any 
listed entities should be removed or modified. The review will include 
analysis of whether the criteria for listing the entity are still 
applicable and research to determine whether the name(s) and address(es) 
of each entity are accurate and complete and whether any affiliates of 
each listed entity should be added or removed.

Sec.745.1  Advance notification and annual report of all exports 
of Schedule 1 chemicals to other States Parties.

    Pursuant to the Convention, the United States is required to notify 
the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) not less 
than 30 days in advance of every export of a Schedule 1 chemical, in any 
quantity, to another State Party. In addition, the United States is 
required to provide a report of all exports of Schedule 1 chemicals to 
other States Parties during each calendar year. If you plan to export 
any quantity of a Schedule 1 chemical controlled under the EAR and 
licensed by the Department of Commerce or controlled under the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and licensed by the 
Department of State, you are required under this section to notify the 
Department of Commerce in advance of this export. You are also required 
to provide an annual report of exports that actually occurred during the 
previous calendar year. The United States will transmit the advance 
notifications and an aggregate annual report to the OPCW of exports of 
Schedule 1 chemicals from the United States. Note that the notification 
and annual report requirements of this section do not relieve the 
exporter of any requirement to obtain a license from the Department of 
Commerce for the export of Schedule 1 chemicals subject to the EAR or 
from the Department of State for the export of Schedule 1 chemicals 
subject to the ITAR.
    (a) Advance notification of exports. You must notify BIS at least 45 
calendar days prior to exporting any quantity of a Schedule 1 chemical 
listed in supplement no. 1 to this part to another State Party, except 
that notifications for exports of 5 milligrams or less of saxitoxin (for 
medical or diagnostic purposes only) must be submitted to BIS at least 3 
calendar days prior to the date of export (see 15 CFR 712.6(a)). This is 
in addition to the requirement to obtain an export license under the EAR 
for chemicals controlled by ECCN 1C350 or 1C351 for any reason for 
control, or from the Department of State for Schedule 1 chemicals 
controlled under the ITAR. Note that such notifications may be sent to 
BIS prior to or after submission of a license application to BIS for 
Schedule 1 chemicals controlled subject to the EAR and under ECCNs 1C350 
or 1C351 or to the Department of State for Schedule 1 chemicals 
controlled on the ITAR. Such notices must be submitted separately from 
license applications.
    (1) Such notification should be on company letterhead or must 
clearly identify the reporting entity by name of company, complete 
address, name of contact person and telephone and fax numbers, along 
with the following information:
    (i) Common Chemical Name;
    (ii) Structural formula of the chemical;
    (iii) Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry Number;
    (iv) Quantity involved in grams;
    (v) Planned date of export;
    (vi) Purpose (end-use) of export;
    (vii) Name of recipient;
    (viii) Complete street address of recipient;
    (ix) Export license or control number, if known; and
    (x) Company identification number, once assigned by BIS.

    (2) Send the notification either by fax to (202) 482-1731 or by mail 
or courier delivery to the following address: Information Technology 
Team, Treaty Compliance Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, Room 4515, 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20230. Attn: ``Advance Notification of Schedule 1 
Chemical Export''.
    (3) Upon receipt of the notification, BIS will inform the exporter 
of the earliest date the shipment may occur under the notification 
procedure. To export the Schedule 1 chemical, the exporter must have 
applied for and been granted a license (see Sec. Sec.742.2 and 742.18 
of the EAR, or the ITAR at 22 CFR part 121.
    (b) Annual report of exports. (1) You must report all exports of any 
quantity of a Schedule 1 chemical to another State Party during the 
previous calendar year, starting with exports taking place during 
calendar year 1997. Reports for exports during calendar years 1997 and 
1998 are due to the Department of Commerce August 16, 1999. Thereafter, 
annual reports of exports are due on February 13 of the following 
calendar year. The report should be on company letterhead or must 
clearly identify the reporting entity by name of company, complete 
address, name of contact person and telephone and fax numbers along with 
the following information for each export:
    (i) Common Chemical Name;
    (ii) Structural formula of the chemical;

Sec.745.2  End-Use Certificate reporting requirements under the 
Chemical Weapons Convention.

    Note: The End-Use Certificate requirement of this section does not 
relieve the exporter of any requirement to obtain a license from the 
Department of Commerce for the export of Schedule 3 chemicals subject to 
the Export Administration Regulations or from the Department of State 
for the export of Schedule 3 chemicals subject to the International 
Traffic in Arms Regulations.

    (a)(1) No U.S. person, as defined in Sec.744.6(c) of the EAR, may 
export from the United States any Schedule 3 chemical identified in 
supplement no. 1 to this part to countries not party to the Chemical 
Weapons Convention (destinations not listed in supplement no. 2 to this 
part) unless the U.S. person obtains from the consignee an End-Use 
Certificate issued by the government of the importing destination. This 
Certificate must be issued by the foreign government's agency 
responsible for foreign affairs or any other agency or department 
designated by the importing government for this purpose. Supplement no. 
3 to this part includes foreign authorized agencies responsible for 
issuing End-Use Certificates pursuant to this section. Additional 
foreign authorized agencies responsible for issuing End-Use Certificates 
will be included in supplement no. 3 to this part when known. End-Use 
Certificates may be issued to cover aggregate quantities against which 
multiple shipments may be made to a single consignee. An End-Use 
Certificate covering multiple shipments may be used until the aggregate 
quantity is shipped. End-Use Certificates must be submitted separately 
from license applications.
    (2) Submit a copy of the End-Use Certificate, no later than 7 days 
after the date of export, either by fax to (202)

Sec.746.1  Introduction.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C. This part implements broad based controls for items 
and activities subject to the EAR imposed to implement U.S. government 
policies. Two categories of controls are included in this part.
    (a) Comprehensive controls. This part contains or refers to all the 
BIS licensing requirements, licensing policies, and License Exceptions 
for countries subject to general embargoes or comprehensive sanctions, 
currently Cuba, Iran, and Syria. This part is the focal point for all 
the EAR requirements for transactions involving these countries.
    (1) Cuba. All the items on the Commerce Control List (CCL) require a 
license to Cuba. In addition, most other items subject to the EAR, but 
not included on the CCL, designated by the Number ``EAR99'', require a 
license to Cuba. Most items requiring a license to these destinations 
are subject to a general policy of denial. Because these controls extend 
to virtually all exports, they do not appear in the Country Chart in 
part 738 of the EAR, nor are they reflected in the Commerce Control List 
in part 774 of the EAR.
    (2) Iran. BIS maintains license requirements and other restrictions 
on exports and reexports to Iran. A comprehensive embargo on 
transactions involving this country is administered by the Department of 
The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
    (3) Syria. Pursuant to Sections 5(a)(1) and 5(a)(2)(A) of the Syria 
Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 
108-175, codified as a note to 22 U.S.C. 2151) (the SAA), since May 14, 
2004 BIS has maintained a prohibition on the export to Syria of all 
items on the Commerce Control List (in 15 CFR part 774) (CCL) and a 
prohibition on the export to Syria of products of the United States,

[[Page 660]]

other than food and medicine. The President also exercised national 
security waiver authority pursuant to Section 5(b) of the SAA for 
certain transactions. Section 746.9 of this part sets forth the specific 
license requirements, licensing policy and license exceptions applicable 
to Syria as a sanctioned country under the EAR. These provisions were 
issued consistent with Executive Order 13338 of May 11, 2004 which 
implemented the SAA.
    (b) Sanctions on selected categories of items to specific 
destinations. (1) BIS controls the export and reexport of selected 
categories of items to countries under United Nations Security Council 
arms embargoes. See the Commerce Control List in supplement no. 1 to 
part 774. See also Sec. Sec.746.3 (Iraq) and 746.4 (North Korea).
    (2) The countries subject to United Nations Security Council arms 
embargoes are: Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the 
Congo, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, and 
Sudan.
    (3) A license is required to export or reexport items identified in 
Part 774 as having a ``UN'' reason for control to countries identified 
in paragraph (b)(2) of this section. To the extent consistent with 
United States national security and foreign policy interests, BIS will 
not approve applications for such licenses if the authorization would be 
contrary to the relevant United Nations Security Council Resolution.
    (4) You may not use any License Exception, other than License 
Exception GOV, for items for personal or official use by personnel and 
agencies of the U.S. Government or agencies of cooperating governments 
as set forth in Sec.740.11(b) of the EAR, to export or reexport items 
with a UN reason for control to countries listed in paragraph (b)(2) of 
this section. This paragraph does not apply to Iraq, which is governed 
by Sec.746.3(c) of this part; North Korea, which is governed by Sec.
746.4(c) of this part; or Iran, which is governed by Sec.746.7(c) of 
this part.
    (c) Russian Industry Sector Sanctions. The Russian Industry Sector 
Sanctions are set forth under Sec.746.5 and referenced under the 
License Requirements section of certain Export Control Classification 
Numbers (ECCNs) in supplement No. 1 to part 774 (Commerce Control List), 
as well as in a footnote to the Commerce Country Chart in supplement no. 
1 to part 738.
    (d) This part also contains descriptions of controls maintained by 
the Office of Foreign Assets Control in the Treasury Department and by 
the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls in the Department of State. 
Comprehensive embargoes and supplemental controls implemented by BIS 
under the EAR usually also involve controls on items and activities 
maintained by these agencies. This part sets forth the allocation of 
licensing responsibilities between BIS and these other agencies. 
References to the requirements of other agencies are informational; for 
current, complete, and authoritative requirements, you should consult 
the appropriate agency's regulations.

Sec.746.2  Cuba.

    (a) License requirements. As authorized by section 6 of the Export 
Administration Act of 1979, as amended (EAA) and by the Trading with the 
Enemy Act of 1917, as amended, you will need a license to export or 
reexport all items subject to the EAR (see part 734 of the EAR for the 
scope of items subject to the EAR) to Cuba, including any release of 
technology or source code subject to the EAR to a Cuban national, except 
as follows:
    (1) License exceptions. You may export or reexport without a license 
if your transaction meets all the applicable terms and conditions of any 
of the following License Exceptions. To determine the scope and 
eligibility requirements, you will need to turn to the sections or 
specific paragraphs of part 740 of the EAR (License Exceptions). Read 
each License Exception carefully, as the provisions available for 
embargoed countries are generally narrow.
    (i) Temporary exports and reexports (TMP) by the news media (see 
Sec.740.9(a)(9) of the EAR).

[[Page 661]]

    (ii) Operation technology and software (TSU) for legally exported 
commodities or software (see Sec.740.13(a) of the EAR).
    (iii) Sales technology (TSU) (see Sec.740.13(b) of the EAR).
    (iv) Software updates (TSU) for legally exported software (see Sec.

740.12 of the EAR).
    (ix) Items in transit (TMP) from Canada through the U.S. (see Sec.
740.9(b)(1)(iv) of the EAR).
    (x) Aircraft, vessels and spacecraft (AVS) for certain aircraft on 
temporary sojourn; equipment and spare parts for permanent use on a 
vessel or aircraft, and ship and plane stores; vessels on temporary 
sojourn; or cargo transiting Cuba on aircraft or vessels on temporary 
sojourn (see Sec.740.15(a), (b), (d), and (e) of the EAR).
    (xi) Permissive reexports of certain spare parts in foreign-made 
equipment (see Sec.740.16(h) of the EAR).
    (xii) Exports of agricultural commodities, classified as EAR99, 
under License Exception Agricultural Commodities (AGR) and certain 
reexports of U.S. origin agricultural commodities, classified as EAR99, 
under License Exception AGR (see Sec.740.18 of the EAR).
    (xiii) Commodities and software authorized under License Exception 
Consumer Communications Devices (CCD) (see Sec.740.19 of the EAR).
    (xiv) License Exception Support for the Cuban People (SCP) (see 
Sec.740.21 of the EAR).
    (2) Deemed exports and deemed reexports. A license is not required 
to release technology or source code subject to the EAR but not on the 
Commerce Control List (i.e., EAR99 technology or source code) to a Cuban 
national in the United States or a third country.
    (b) Licensing policy. Items requiring a license are subject to a 
general policy of denial, except as follows:
    (1) Medicines and Medical Devices. Applications to export medicines 
and medical devices as defined in part 772 of the EAR will generally be 
approved, except:
    (i) To the extent restrictions would be permitted under section 5(m) 
of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (EAA), or section 
203(b)(2) of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act;
    (ii) If there is a reasonable likelihood that the item to be 
exported will be used for purposes of torture or other human rights 
abuses;
    (iii) If there is a reasonable likelihood that the item to be 
exported will be reexported;
    (iv) If the item to be exported could be used in the production of 
any biotechnological product; or
    (v) If it is determined that the United States government is unable 
to verify, by on-site inspection or other means, that the item to be 
exported will be used for the purpose for which it was intended and only 
for the use and benefit of the Cuban people, but this exception shall 
not apply to donations of medicines for humanitarian purposes to a 
nongovernmental organization in Cuba.
    (2) Exports and reexports that generally will be approved. 
Applications for licenses to export or reexport the following generally 
will be approved:
    (i) Telecommunications items that would improve communications to, 
from, and among the Cuban people;
    (ii) Commodities and software to human rights organizations or to 
individuals and non-governmental organizations that promote independent 
activity intended to strengthen civil society in Cuba;

primary purpose is the gathering and dissemination of news to the 
general public;
    (iv) Agricultural items that are outside the scope of agricultural 
commodities as defined in part 772 of the EAR, such as insecticides, 
pesticides and herbicides, and agricultural commodities

[[Page 662]]

not eligible for License Exception AGR;
    (v) Items necessary to ensure the safety of civil aviation and the 
safe operation of commercial aircraft engaged in international air 
transportation, excluding the export or reexport of such aircraft leased 
to state-owned enterprises; and
    (vi) Items necessary for the environmental protection of U.S. and 
international air quality, waters, or coastlines (including items 
related to renewable energy or energy efficiency).
    (3) Exports and reexports that may be authorized on a case-by-case 
basis. (i) Applications for licenses to export or reexport items to meet 
the needs of the Cuban people, including exports and reexports of such 
items to state-owned enterprises, agencies, and other organizations of 
the Cuban government that provide goods and services for the use and 
benefit of the Cuban people may be authorized on a case-by-case basis. 
This policy of case-by-case review includes applications for licenses to 
export or reexport items for:
    (A) Agricultural production, artistic endeavors (including the 
creation of public content, historic and cultural works and 
preservation), education, food processing, disaster preparedness, relief 
and response, public health and sanitation, residential construction and 
renovation and public transportation;
    (B) Wholesale and retail distribution for domestic consumption by 
the Cuban people;
    (C) Construction of facilities for treating public water supplies, 
facilities for supplying electricity or other energy to the Cuban 
people, sports and recreation facilities, and other infrastructure that 
directly benefits the Cuban people; and
    (D) Items that will enable or facilitate export from Cuba of items 
produced by the private sector.

    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(3)(i): Licenses issued pursuant to the 
policy set forth in this paragraph generally will have a condition 
prohibiting both reexports from Cuba to any other destination and uses 
that enable or facilitate the export of goods or services from Cuba, 
that primarily generate revenue for the state.
    Note 2 to paragraph (b)(3)(i): The policy of case-by-case review in 
this paragraph is intended to facilitate exports and reexports to meet 
the needs of the Cuban people. Accordingly, BIS generally will deny 
applications to export or reexport items for use by state-owned 
enterprises, agencies, and other organizations that primarily generate 
revenue for the state, including those engaged in tourism and those 
engaged in the extraction or production of minerals or other raw 
materials. Applications for export or reexport of items destined to the 
Cuban military, police, intelligence or security services also generally 
will be denied. Additionally, pursuant to section 3(a) of the National 
Security Presidential Memorandum on Strengthening the Policy of the 
United States Toward Cuba (NSPM), dated June 16, 2017, BIS generally 
will deny applications to export or reexport items for use by entities 
or subentities identified by the Department of State in the Federal 
Register or at https://www.state.gov/e/eb/tfs/spi /cuba/
cubarestrictedlist/index.htm, unless such transactions are determined to 
be consistent with sections 2 and 3(a)(iii) of the NSPM.

    (ii) [Reserved]
    (4) Temporary sojourns of aircraft and vessels. Applications for 
exports or reexports of aircraft or vessels on temporary sojourn to 
Cuba, other than aircraft operated by certificated air carriers or cargo 
vessels for hire, are subject to a general policy of denial unless 
consistent with the foreign policy or national security interests of the 
United States. Applications for exports or reexports of aircraft 
operated by certificated air carriers or cargo vessels for hire on 
temporary sojourn to Cuba may be authorized on a case-by-case basis.

    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(4): Applications for exports or reexports of 
private and corporate aircraft, cruise ships, sailboats, fishing 
vessels, and other similar aircraft and vessels on temporary sojourn to 
Cuba will generally be denied.

    (c) Definitions. For purposes of this section, ``U.S. person'' means 
any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, as 
described in Sec.515.329 of the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (31 
CFR 515.329).
    (d) Related controls. OFAC maintains controls on the activities of 
persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction, wherever located, involving 
transactions with Cuba or any Cuban national, as provided in 31 CFR part 
515. Exporters and reexporters should consult with OFAC

[[Page 663]]

for further guidance on its related controls.

746.2, see the List of CFR Sections Affected, which appears in the 
Finding Aids section of the printed volume and at www.govinfo.gov.



Sec.746.3  Iraq.

    Pursuant to United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolutions 1483 
and 1546 and other relevant resolutions, the United Nations maintains an 
embargo on the sale or supply to Iraq of arms and related materiel and 
their means of production, except items required by the Government of 
Iraq to serve the purposes of Resolution 1546. UNSC Resolutions 707 and 
687 require that Iraq eliminate its nuclear weapons program and restrict 
its nuclear activities to the use of isotopes for medical, industrial or 
agricultural purposes. Such resolutions further mandate that Iraq 
eliminate its chemical and biological weapons programs as well as its 
ballistic missile program. In support of the applicable UNSC 
resolutions, certain Iraq specific license requirements and licensing 
policies are detailed in this section. In addition, this section details 
restrictions on transfers of items subject to the EAR within Iraq. 
Exporters should be aware that other provisions of the EAR, including 
parts 742 and 744, will continue to apply with respect to exports and 
reexports to Iraq and transfers within Iraq.
    (a) License requirements. (1) A license is required for the export 
or reexport to Iraq or transfer within Iraq of any item controlled on 
the Commerce Control List for NS, MT, NP, CW, CB, RS, CC, EI, SI, or SL 
reasons. See part 742 of the EAR.
    (2) A license is required for the export or reexport to Iraq or 
transfer within Iraq of any item controlled on the Commerce Control List 
for UN reasons.
    (3) A license is required for the export or reexport to Iraq or 
transfer within Iraq of items on the Commerce Control List controlled 
for RS reasons under the following ECCNs: 0B999, 0D999, 1B999, 1C992, 
1C995, 1C997, 1C999 and 6A992.
    (4) A license is required for the export or reexport to Iraq or 
transfer within Iraq of any item subject to the EAR if, at the time of 
the export, reexport or transfer, you know, have reason to know, or are 
informed by BIS that the item will be, or is intended to be, used for a 
``military end-use'' or by a ``military end-user'', as defined in this 
section. This license requirement does not apply to exports, reexports 
or transfers of items for the official use by personnel and agencies of 
the U.S. Government or exports, reexports or transfers to the Government 
of Iraq. See Sec.740.11(b)(3) of the EAR for the definition of 
``agency of the U.S. Government.'' BIS may inform an exporter, 
reexporter, or other person, either individually by specific notice or 
through amendment to the EAR, that a license is required for export, 
reexport or transfer of items subject to the EAR to specified end-users, 
because BIS has determined that there is an unacceptable risk of 
diversion to the uses or users described in this paragraph. Specific 
notice is to be given only by, or at the direction of, the Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Export Administration. When such notice is 
provided orally, it will be followed by a written notice within two 
working days signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export 
Administration. The absence of any such notification does not excuse the 
exporter, reexporter or other person from compliance with the license 
requirements of this paragraph.
    (i) Military end-use. In this section, the phrase ``military end-
use'' means incorporation into a military item described on the U.S. 
Munitions List (USML) (22 CFR part 121, International Traffic in Arms 
Regulations) or the Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions List (WAML) (as set 
out on the Wassenaar Arrangement website at http://www.wassenaar.org); 
or use, development, or deployment of military items described on the 
USML or the WAML.
    (ii) Military end-user. In this section, the term ``military end-
user'' means any ``person'' whose actions or functions are intended to 
support ``military end-uses'' as defined in paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this 
section and who is not

[[Page 664]]

recognized as a legitimate military organization by the U.S. Government.
    (5) Definitions. For purposes of exports or reexports to Iraq or 
transfers within Iraq, ``ballistic missile'' is defined as any missile 
capable of a range greater than 150 kilometers.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) License applications for the export or 
reexport to Iraq or transfer within Iraq of items listed in paragraph 
(a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) of this section for Iraqi civil nuclear or 
military nuclear activity, except for use of isotopes for medical, 
industrial or agricultural purposes, will be subject to a policy of 
denial.
    (2) License applications for the export or reexport to Iraq or 
transfer within Iraq of machine tools controlled for national security 
(NS) or nuclear nonproliferation (NP) reasons, as well as for any items 
controlled for crime control (CC) or United Nations (UN) reasons 
(including items classified under ECCN 0A505.c) or ECCNs that end in the 
number ``018'' or items classified under ``600 series'' ECCNs, that 
would make a material contribution to the production, research, design, 
development, support, maintenance or manufacture of Iraqi weapons of 
mass destruction, ballistic missiles or arms and related materiel will 
be subject to a general policy of denial. Exports of ``600 series'' 
items to the Government of Iraq will be reviewed under the policies set 
forth for such items in Sec. Sec.742.4(b) and 742.6(b) of the EAR.
    (3) License applications for the export or reexport to Iraq or 
transfer within Iraq of items listed in paragraph (a)(3) of this section 
will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine if they would 
contribute to the building of Iraqi civil infrastructure. Applications 
determined not to contribute to the building of Iraqi civil 
infrastructure will be subject to a general policy of denial.
    (4) License applications for the export or reexport to Iraq or 
transfer within Iraq of items listed in paragraph (a)(4) of this section 
will be subject to a policy of denial.
    (c) License exceptions. You may export or reexport without a license 
if your transaction meets all the requirements of any of the following 
License Exceptions: CIV, APP, TMP, RPL, GOV, GFT, TSU, BAG, AVS, or ENC. 
For specific requirements of each of these License Exceptions, refer to 
part 740 of the EAR. Notwithstanding the above, this paragraph may not 
be applied to exports or reexports that require a license under 
paragraph (a)(4) of this section.
    (d) Related State Department controls. The Department of State, 
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, maintains controls on arms and 
military equipment to Iraq under the International Traffic in Arms 
Regulations (22 CFR parts 120 through 130).
    (e) Transition for licenses issued by the Department of the 
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control. Prior to July 30, 2004, the 
Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) 
exercised primary licensing jurisdiction for transactions with Iraq, as 
provided in 31 CFR part 575. This section establishes a validity period 
for licenses issued by OFAC for exports or reexports to Iraq.
    (1) Validity period. Licenses issued by OFAC for the export or 
reexport of items that require a license to Iraq under the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR) shall continue to be valid under the 
EAR. For those licenses with specified expiration dates, such dates will 
continue to apply. Licenses without specified expiration dates will be 
valid through July 30, 2005. The recordkeeping requirements applicable 
to exports and reexports of items pursuant to licenses issued by OFAC 
are described in paragraph (e)(3) of this section.

    Note to paragraph (e)(1): Persons that have been authorized by OFAC 
to export or reexport items that are subject to the export control 
jurisdiction of other agencies must consult with OFAC and the other 
relevant agencies with regard to the expiration date of the 
authorization granted by OFAC.

    (2) Reexports or transfers. Items subject to a license requirement 
under the EAR for export or reexport to Iraq as of July 30, 2004, that 
were previously exported or reexported to Iraq under a specific license 
granted by OFAC:
    (i) May not be transferred within Iraq to a new end-user without a 
license from BIS,
    (ii) May be reexported to the United States without a license,

[[Page 665]]

    (iii) May be reexported to third countries subject to the license 
requirements for the destination, end-use or end-user set forth 
elsewhere in the EAR.
    (3) Recordkeeping requirement. Persons in receipt of a specific 
license granted by OFAC described in paragraph (e)(1) of this section 
must maintain a record of those items exported or reexported to Iraq 
pursuant to such specific license and record when the items are consumed 
or destroyed in the normal course of their use in Iraq, reexported to a 
third country not requiring further authorization from BIS, or returned 
to the United States. This requirement applies only to items subject to 
a license requirement under the EAR for export to Iraq as of July 30, 
2004. These records must be maintained in accordance with recordkeeping 
requirements set forth in part 762 of the EAR and must include the 
following information:
    (i) Date of export or reexport and related details (including means 
of transport);
    (ii) Description of items (including ECCN) and value of items in 
U.S. Dollars;
    (iii) Description of proposed end-use and locations in Iraq where 
items are intended to be used;
    (iv) Parties other than specific OFAC licensee who may be given 
temporary access to the items; and
    (v) Date of consumption or destruction, if the items are consumed or 
destroyed in the normal course of their use in Iraq, or the date of 
reexport to a third country not requiring further authorization from 
BIS, or return to the United States.
    (f) License Requirements for certain transfers within Iraq of items 
subject to the EAR--(1) Licensed items. A license is required for the 
transfer within Iraq of any item subject to the EAR exported or 
reexported pursuant to a specific license issued by the Department of 
the Treasury or a Department of Commerce specific license or License 
Exception.
    (2) Other items. (i) A license is required for the transfer within 
Iraq of any item subject to the EAR, if, at the time of the transfer, 
you know, have reason to know, or are informed by BIS that the item will 
be used in the design, development, production or use of weapons of mass 
destruction or the means of their delivery, as set forth in part 744 of 
the EAR.
    (ii) A license is required for the transfer within Iraq to

740.9(a)(9) of the EAR.
    (2) GOV for items for personal or official use by personnel and

Sec.746.5  Russian industry sector sanctions.

    (a) License requirements--(1) General prohibition. As authorized by 
Section 6 of the Export Administration Act of 1979, a license is 
required to export, reexport or transfer (in-country) any item subject 
to the EAR listed in supplement No. 2 to this part and items specified 
in ECCNs 0A998, 1C992, 3A229, 3A231, 3A232, 6A991, 8A992, and 8D999 when 
you know that the item will be used directly or indirectly in 
exploration for, or production of, oil or gas in Russian deepwater 
(greater than 500 feet) or Arctic offshore locations or shale formations 
in Russia, or are unable to determine whether the item will be used in 
such projects. Such items include, but are not limited to, drilling 
rigs, parts for horizontal drilling, drilling and completion equipment, 
subsea processing equipment, Arctic-capable marine equipment, wireline 
and down hole motors and equipment, drill pipe and casing, software for 
hydraulic fracturing, high pressure pumps, seismic acquisition 
equipment, remotely operated vehicles, compressors, expanders, valves, 
and risers. You should be aware that other provisions of the EAR, 
including parts 742 and 744, also apply to exports and reexports to 
Russia. License applications submitted to BIS under this section may 
include the phrase ``section

[[Page 667]]

746.5'' in Block 9 (Special Purpose) in supplement No. 1 to part 748.
    (2) Additional prohibition on those informed by BIS. BIS may inform 
persons, either individually by specific notice or through amendment to 
the EAR, that a license is required for a specific export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) or for the export, reexport, or transfer (in-
country) of specified items to a certain end-user or end-use, because 
there is an unacceptable risk of use in, or diversion to, the activities 
specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section in Russia. Specific notice 
is to be given only by, or at the direction of, the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Export Administration. When such notice is provided 
orally, it will be followed by a written notice within two working days 
signed by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Export Administration. 
However, the absence of any such notification does not excuse persons 
from compliance with the license requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section.
    (b) Licensing policy. Applications for the export, reexport or 
transfer (in-country) of any item that requires a license for Russia 
will be reviewed with a presumption of denial when for use directly or 
indirectly for exploration or production from deepwater (greater than 
500 feet), Arctic offshore, or shale projects in Russia that have the 
potential to produce oil.
    (c) License exceptions. No license exceptions may overcome the 
license requirements set forth in this section, except License Exception 
GOV (Sec.740.11(b)).

Sec.746.6  Crimea region of Ukraine.

    (a) License requirements--(1) General prohibition. As authorized by 
Section 6 of the Export Administration Act of 1979, a license is 
required to export or reexport any item subject to the EAR to the Crimea 
region of Ukraine and the transfer within the Crimea region of Ukraine 
except food and medicine designated as EAR99 or software that is 
necessary to enable the exchange of personal communications over the 
Internet (such as instant messaging, chat and email, social networking, 
sharing of photos and movies, Web browsing, and blogging), provided that 
such software is designated EAR99 or is classified as mass market 
software under Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5D992.c of 
the EAR, and provided further that such software is widely available to 
the public at no cost to the user. The `Crimea region of Ukraine' 
includes the land territory in that region as well as any maritime area 
over which sovereignty, sovereign rights, or jurisdiction is claimed 
based on purported annexation of that land territory.
    (2) For purposes of applying the EAR deemed export and deemed 
reexport requirements for foreign nationals located in or from the 
Crimea region of Ukraine, the nationality of the foreign national (as 
determined by accepted methods, such as looking to the passport or other 
nationality document(s) recognized by the United States Government) is 
what is used for purposes of determining whether a license is required 
for a deemed export or deemed reexport. For any other export, reexport 
or transfer (in-country), see the license requirements specified in 
paragraph (a).
    (b) License review policy. Applications will be reviewed with a 
presumption of denial, except for items authorized under OFAC Ukraine-
Related General License No. 4 which will be reviewed on a case-by-case 
basis.
    (c) License exceptions. You may export, reexport or transfer (in-
country) without a license if your transaction meets all the applicable 
terms and conditions of any of the license exception paragraphs 
specified in this paragraph (c). To determine scope and eligibility 
requirements, you will need to refer to the sections or specific 
paragraphs of part 740 (License Exceptions). Read each license exception 
carefully, as the provisions available for countries subject to 
sanctions are generally narrow.
    (1) TMP for items for use by the news media as set forth in Sec.
740.9(a)(9) of the EAR.
    (2) GOV for items for personal or official use by personnel and 
agencies of the U.S. Government, the International Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA), or the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) as set

[[Page 668]]

forth in Sec.740.11(a) and (b)(2) of the EAR.
    (3) GFT for gift parcels and humanitarian donations as set forth in 
Sec.740.12.
    (4) TSU for operation technology and software for lawfully exported 
commodities as set forth in Sec.740.13(a) and sales technology as set 
forth in Sec.740.13 (b) of the EAR.

Sec.746.7  Iran.

    The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) 
administers a comprehensive trade and investment embargo against Iran. 
This embargo includes prohibitions on exports and certain reexport 
transactions involving Iran, including transactions dealing with items 
subject to the EAR. These prohibitions are set forth in OFAC's Iranian 
Transactions Regulations (31 CFR part 560). In addition, BIS maintains 
licensing requirements on exports and reexports to Iran under the EAR as 
described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section or elsewhere in the EAR 
(See, e.g., Sec.742.8--Anti-terrorism: Iran).
    (a) License Requirements--(1) EAR license requirements. A license is 
required under the EAR to export or reexport to Iran any item on the CCL 
containing a CB Column 1, CB Column 2, CB Column 3, NP Column 1, NP 
Column 2, NS Column 1, NS Column 2, MT Column 1, RS Column 1, RS Column 
2, CC Column 1, CC Column 2, CC Column 3, AT Column 1 or AT Column 2 in 
the Country Chart Column of the License Requirements section of an ECCN 
or classified under ECCNs 0A503, 0A980, 0A982, 0A983, 0E982, 1C355, 
1C395, 1C980, 1C982, 1C983, 1C984, 2A994, 2D994, 2E994, 5A001.f.1, 
5A980, 5D001 (for 5A001.f.1or for 5E001.a (for 5A001.f.1, or for 5D001.a 
(for 5A001.f.1))), 5D980, 5E001.a (for 5A001.f.1, or for 5D001.a (for 
5A001.f.1)) or 5E980.
    (2) BIS authorization. To avoid duplication, exporters or 
reexporters are not required to seek separate authorization from BIS for 
an export or reexport subject both to the EAR and to OFAC's Iranian 
Transactions Regulations. Therefore, if OFAC authorizes an export or 
reexport, such authorization is considered authorization for purposes of 
the EAR as well. Transactions that are not subject to OFAC regulatory 
authority may require BIS authorization.
    (b) Licensing Policy. Applications for licenses for transactions for 
humanitarian reasons or for the safety of civil aviation and safe 
operation of U.S-origin aircraft will be considered on a case-by-case 
basis. Licenses for other purposes generally will be denied.
    (c) License Exceptions. No license exceptions may be used for 
exports or reexports to Iran.
    (d) EAR Anti-terrorism controls. The Secretary of State has 
designated Iran as a country that has repeatedly provided support for 
acts of international terrorism. Anti-terrorism license requirements and 
licensing policy regarding Iran are set forth in Sec.742.8 of the EAR.
    (e) Prohibition on exporting or reexporting EAR items without 
required OFAC authorization. No person may export or reexport any item 
that is subject to the EAR if such transaction is prohibited by the 
Iranian Transactions Regulations (31 CFR part 560) and not authorized by 
OFAC. The prohibition of this paragraph (e) applies whether or not the 
EAR requires a license for the export or reexport.

Sec.746.8  [Reserved]



Sec.746.9  Syria.

    Sections 5(a)(1) and 5(a)(2)(A) of the Syria Accountability and 
Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-175, codified 
as a note to 22 U.S.C. 2151) (the SAA) require a prohibition on the 
export to Syria of all items on the Commerce Control List (in 15 CFR 
part 774) (CCL) and a prohibition on the export to Syria of products of 
the United States, other than food and medicine. The President also 
exercised national security waiver authority pursuant to Section 5(b) of 
the

[[Page 669]]

SAA for certain transactions. The provisions in this section were issued 
consistent with Executive Order 13338 of May 11, 2004 which implemented 
the SAA.
    (a) License requirements. A license is required for the export or 
reexport to Syria of all items subject to the EAR, except food and 
medicine classified as EAR99 (food and medicine are defined in part 772 
of the EAR). A license is required for the deemed export and deemed 
reexport, as described in Sec. Sec.734.13(b) and 734.14(b) of the EAR, 
respectively, of any technology or source code on the Commerce Control 
List (CCL) to a Syrian foreign national. Deemed exports and deemed 
reexports to Syrian foreign nationals involving technology or source 
code subject to the EAR but not listed on the CCL do not require a 
license.
    (b) License Exceptions. No License Exceptions to the license 
requirements set forth in paragraph (a) of this section are available 
for exports or reexports to Syria, except the following:
    (1) TMP for items for use by the news media as set forth in Sec.
740.9(a)(9) of the EAR,
    (2) GOV for items for personal or official use by personnel and 
agencies of the U.S. Government as set forth in Sec.740.11(b)(2) of 
the EAR,
    (3) TSU for operation technology and software, sales technology, and 
software updates pursuant to the terms of Sec.740.13(a), (b), or (c) 
of the EAR,
    (4) BAG for exports of personally-owned items by individuals leaving 
the United States as personal baggage pursuant to the terms of Sec.
740.14(a) through (d), only, of the EAR, and
    (5) AVS for the temporary sojourn of civil aircraft reexported to 
Syria pursuant to the terms of Sec.740.15(a)(4) of the EAR.
    (c) Licensing policy. (1) Except as described in this paragraph (c), 
all license applications for export or reexport to Syria are subject to 
a general policy of denial. License applications for ``deemed exports'' 
and ``deemed reexports'' of technology and source code will be reviewed 
on a case-by-case basis. BIS may consider, on a case-by-case basis, 
license applications for exports and reexports of items necessary to 
carry out the President's constitutional authority to conduct U.S. 
foreign affairs and as Commander-in-Chief, including exports and 
reexports of items necessary for the performance of official functions 
by the United States Government personnel abroad.
    (2) BIS may also consider the following license applications on a 
case-by-case basis: items in support of activities, diplomatic or 
otherwise, of the United States Government (to the extent that 
regulation of such exportation or reexportation would not fall within 
the President's constitutional authority to conduct the nation's foreign 
affairs); medicine (on the CCL) and medical devices (both as defined in 
part 772 of the EAR); parts and components intended to ensure the safety 
of civil aviation and the safe operation of commercial passenger 
aircraft; aircraft chartered by the Syrian Government for the transport 
of Syrian Government officials on official Syrian Government business; 
telecommunications equipment and associated computers, software and 
technology; items in support of United Nations operations in Syria; and 
items necessary for the support of the Syrian people, including, but not 
limited to, items related to water supply and sanitation, agricultural 
production and food processing, power generation, oil and gas 
production, construction and engineering, transportation, and 
educational infrastructure. The total dollar value of each approved 
license for aircraft parts for flight safety normally will be limited to 
no more than $2 million over the 24-month standard license term, except 
in the case of complete overhauls.
    (3) In addition, consistent with part 734 of the EAR, the following 
are not subject to the EAR and therefore not subject to this General 
Order: informational materials in the form of books and other media; 
publicly available software and technology; and technology exported in 
the form of a patent application or an amendment, modification, or 
supplement thereto or a division thereof (see 15 CFR 734.3(b)(1)(v), 
(b)(2) and (b)(3)).

    Note to Sec.746.9: For administrative reasons, BIS continues to 
maintain provisions in General Order No. 2, supplement no. 1 to part 736

[[Page 670]]

of the EAR relating to the President's waiver of certain prohibitions.

including the waiver-related provisions maintained in General Order No. 
2.

Sec.748.1  General provisions.

    (a) Scope. In this part, references to the Export Administration 
Regulations or EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. 
The provisions of this part involve requests for classifications and 
advisory opinions, export license applications, reexport license 
applications, and certain license exception notices subject to the EAR. 
All terms, conditions, provisions, and instructions, including the 
applicant and consignee certifications, contained in electronic or paper 
form(s) are incorporated as part of the EAR. For the purposes of this 
part, the term ``application'' refers to both electronic applications 
and the Form BIS-748P: Multipurpose Application.
    (b) BIS responses. BIS will give a formal classification, advisory 
opinion or licensing decision only through the review of a properly 
completed application supported by all relevant facts and required 
documentation submitted in writing or electronically to BIS.
    (c) Confidentiality. Consistent with section 12(c) of the Export 
Administration Act, as amended, information obtained for the purpose of 
considering license applications, and other information obtained by the 
U.S. Department of Commerce concerning license applications, will not be 
made available to the public without the approval of the Secretary of 
Commerce or of the Under Secretary for Industry and Security.
    (d) Electronic filing required. All export and reexport license 
applications, License Exception AGR notifications, requests to authorize 
use of License Exception STA for ``600 series'' end items (which are 
currently submitted as export license applications) and classification 
requests and their accompanying documents must be filed via BIS's 
Simplified Network Application Processing system (SNAP-R), unless BIS 
authorizes submission via the paper forms BIS 748-P (Multipurpose 
Application Form), BIS-748P-A (Item Appendix) and BIS-748P-B, (End-User 
Appendix). Only original paper forms may be used. Facsimiles or 
reproductions are not acceptable.

[[Page 673]]

    (1) Reasons for authorizing paper submissions. BIS will process 
paper applications notices or requests if the submitting party meets one 
or more of the following criteria:
    (i) BIS has received no more than one submission (i.e. the total 
number of export license applications, reexport license applications, 
license exception AGR notifications, and classification requests) from 
that party in the twelve months immediately preceding its receipt of the 
current submission;
    (ii) The party does not have access to the Internet;
    (iii) BIS has rejected the party's electronic filing registration or 
revoked its eligibility to file electronically;
    (iv) BIS has requested that the party submit a paper copy for a 
particular transaction; or
    (v) BIS has determined that urgency, a need to implement U.S. 
government policy or a circumstance outside the submitting party's 
control justify allowing paper submissions in a particular instance.
    (2) Procedure for requesting authorization to file paper 
applications, notifications, or requests. The applicant must state in 
Block 24 or as an attachment to the paper application (Form BIS 748-P) 
which of the criteria in paragraph (d)(1) of this section it meets and 
the facts that support such statement. Submit the completed application, 
notification or request to Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Pennsylvania, NW., Room 2099B, 
Washington DC 20230.
    (3) BIS decision. If BIS authorizes or requires paper filing 
pursuant to this section, it will process the application, notification 
or request in accordance with part 750 of the EAR. If BIS rejects a 
request to file using paper, it will return the Form BIS-748P and all 
attachments to the submitting party without action and will state the 
reason for its decision.

Sec.748.3  Classification requests and advisory opinions.

    (a) Introduction. You may ask BIS to provide you with the correct 
Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) down to the paragraph (or 
subparagraph) level, if appropriate. BIS will issue you a determination 
that each item identified in your classification request is either 
described by an ECCN in the Commerce Control List (CCL) in supplement 
no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR or not described by an ECCN and, therefore, 
an ``EAR99'' item. These classification determinations issued by BIS are 
not U.S. Government determinations that the items described therein are 
``subject to the EAR,'' as this term is defined in Sec.734.3 of the 
EAR. Those who request commodity classifications and advisory opinions 
should have determined that the items

[[Page 674]]

at issue are not subject to the exclusive export control jurisdiction of 
one of the other U.S. Government agencies listed in Sec.734.3(b) of 
the EAR. If requested, for a given end-use, end-user, and/or 
destination, BIS will advise you whether a license is required, or 
likely to be granted, for a particular transaction. Note that these 
responses do not bind BIS to issuing a license in the future. This type 
of request, along with requests for guidance regarding other 
interpretations of the EAR, is commonly referred to as an ``Advisory 
Opinion.'' The encryption provisions in the EAR require the submission 
of a classification request in accordance with Sec.740.17(d) of the 
EAR in order for certain items to be eligible for export and reexport 
under License Exception ENC (see Sec.740.17 of the EAR) or to be 
released from ``EI'' controls (see Sec. Sec.740.17(b)(2) and 
740.17(b)(3) of the EAR).
    (b) Classification requests. Submit classification requests in 
accordance with the procedures in Sec.748.1.
    (1) Each Classification Request must be limited to six items. 
Exceptions may be granted by BIS on a case-by-case basis for several 
related items if the relationship between the items is satisfactorily 
substantiated in the request. Classification requests must be supported 
by any descriptive literature, brochures, precise technical 
specifications or papers that describe the items in sufficient technical 
detail to enable classification by BIS submitted as PDF files attached 
to the SNAP-R submission unless a paper submission is authorized 
pursuant to Sec.748.1 of the EAR.
    (2) When submitting a classification request, you must complete 
Blocks 1 through 5, 14, 22(a), (b), (c), (d), and (i), 24, and 25 on the 
application. You must provide a recommended classification in Block 
22(a) and explain the basis for your recommendation based on the 
technical parameters specified in the appropriate ECCN in Block 24. If 
you are unable to determine a recommended classification for your item, 
include an explanation in Block 24, identifying the ambiguities or 
deficiencies that precluded you from making a recommended 
classification.
    (3) BIS assigns each of its commodity classifications a Commodity 
Classification Automated Tracking System (CCATS) number. Neither the BIS 
classification nor the CCATS number may be relied upon or cited as 
evidence that the U.S. Government has determined that the items 
described in the commodity classification determination are subject to 
the EAR (See 15 CFR 734.3).
    (c) Advisory opinions. Advisory opinion requests must be in writing 
and be submitted to the address listed in Sec.748.1(d)(2). Both your 
letter and envelope must be marked ``Advisory Opinion.''
    (1) Your letter must contain the following information if you are 
requesting guidance regarding interpretations of the EAR:
    (i) The name, title, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the 
person to contact,
    (ii) Your complete address comprised of street address, city, state, 
country, and postal code; and
    (2) If you are requesting BIS to determine whether a license is 
required, or the licensing policy related to a particular end-use, end-
user, and/or destination, in addition to the information required in 
Sec.748.3(c)(1) you must also include:
    (i) All available information on the parties to the transaction and 
the proposed end-use or end-user,
    (ii) The model number for each item, where appropriate,
    (iii) The Export Control Classification Number, if known, for each 
item; and
    (iv) Any descriptive literature, brochures, technical specifications 
or papers that describe the items in sufficient technical detail to 
enable BIS to verify the correct classification.
    (3) Requests for Validated End-User authorization should be 
submitted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Sec.748.15 
and supplement nos. 8 and 9 to this part.
    (4) Advisory opinions are limited in scope to BIS's interpretation 
of EAR provisions. Advisory opinions differ from commodity 
classifications in that advisory opinions are not limited to the 
interpretation of provisions contained in the Commerce Control List.

[[Page 675]]

Advisory opinions may not be relied upon or cited as evidence that the 
U.S. Government has determined that the items described in the advisory 
opinion are not subject to the export control jurisdiction of another 
agency of the U.S. Government (See 15 CFR 734.3).
    (d) Classification requests for encryption items. A classification 
request associated with encryption items transferred from the U.S. 
Munitions List consistent with Executive Order 13026 of November 15, 
1996 (3 CFR, 1996 Comp., p. 228) and pursuant to the Presidential 
Memorandum of that date may be required to determine eligibility under 
License Exception ENC or for release from ``EI'' controls. Refer to 
supplement no. 6 to part 742 of the EAR for a complete list of technical 
information that is required for encryption classification requests. 
Refer to Sec.740.17(e)(3) and supplement no. 8 to part 742 of the EAR 
for information that is required to be submitted in a self-
classification report. Refer to Sec.740.17(b) of the EAR for 
instructions regarding mass market encryption commodities and software, 
including self-classifications and classification requests. Refer to 
Sec.740.17 of the EAR for the provisions of License Exception ENC, 
including encryption self-classifications, classification requests and 
sales reporting. All classification requests, notifications and reports 
submitted to BIS pursuant to Sec. Sec.740.17 and 742.15(b) of the EAR 
will be reviewed by the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator, Ft. Meade, 
MD.
    (e) Classification requests to confirm that a ``part,'' 
``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or ``software'' is not 
``specially designed''--(1) Scope. If you have a ``part,'' 
``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or ``software'' that is 
``specially designed'' on the basis of paragraph (a)(1) or (2) of the 
``specially designed'' definition in Sec.772.1 of the EAR, you may 
submit a request in accordance with the procedures in Sec.748.1 to 
confirm that the item is not ``specially designed'' provided you meet 
the following criteria:
    (i) The ``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or 
``software'' does not meet the criteria of exclusion paragraph (b)(3) of 
the ``specially designed'' definition, but would meet the criteria if 
the minor changes in form or fit were determined to be insignificant by 
the U.S. Government.
    (ii) The performance capabilities of the ``part,'' ``component,'' 
``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or ``software'' are the same as those of 
a ``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or 
``software'' that would meet the criteria of exclusion paragraph (b)(3) 
of the definition of ``specially designed'' in Sec.772.1 of the EAR.
    (2) Information to be provided. Applicants wishing to submit a CCATS 
requesting confirmation that a ``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' 
``attachment,'' or ``software'' is not ``specially designed'' must 
submit classification requests in accordance with the procedures in 
Sec.748.1 and general provisions regarding submitting classification 
requests in Sec.748.3(b). In addition, applicants must submit 
additional information identified in this paragraph (e)(2).
    (i) The classification request must indicate in Block 24 or in a 
separate PDF attachment included with the CCATS submission that the 
``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment'' or ``software'' 
would meet the criteria in paragraph (e)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section;
    (ii) A detailed explanation must be provided regarding all changes 
in form and fit; and
    (iii) A rationale must be provided that explains why such changes in 
form and fit should be treated as minor or insignificant in terms of 
their role in the performance capabilities of the enumerated item.
    (3) U.S. Government Review. Commodity classification requests 
submitted pursuant to Sec.748.3(e) are reviewed by the Departments of 
Commerce, State and Defense. A consensus determination is required to 
confirm that a ``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' 
or ``software'' is not ``specially designed'' on the basis of this 
paragraph. The interagency review process will ensure U.S. national 
security and foreign policy interests are evaluated prior to any 
confirmation pursuant to Sec.748.3(e). The interagency review will 
consider on a case-by-case basis whether a particular ``part,''

[[Page 676]]

``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or ``software'' is 
``specially designed'' taking into account all the following:
    (i) The insignificance of the changes in form and fit;
    (ii) The overall role of the ``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' 
``attachment,'' or ``software'' in the performance capabilities of the 
enumerated or otherwise described item that it is used in or with;
    (iii) How substantively common it is to the other ``part,'' 
``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or ``software'' that would 
meet the paragraph (b)(3) criteria;
    (iv) Whether such a confirmation would be consistent with U.S. 
Government multilateral export control regime commitments; and
    (v) Any other criteria that may be relevant in determining whether 
the ``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or 
``software'' is ``specially designed,'' including an evaluation of how 
such a confirmation may affect U.S. national security and foreign policy 
interests.
    (4) CCATS response. The BIS response to the CCATS request will 
reflect the interagency consensus determination and the response will be 
made in accordance with the procedures in Sec. Sec.748.1 and 748.3(b). 
In addition, the BIS response will indicate one of the following:
    (i) The ``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or 
``software'' is not ``specially designed'' on the basis of being within 
the scope of paragraph (b)(3) because the changes in form and fit have 
been determined by the U.S. Government to be minor or insignificant. In 
such cases, the new classification, which may be EAR99 or in another 
ECCN entry that does not use ``specially designed,'' will be provided as 
part of the BIS response;''
    (ii) The request under Sec.748.3(e) has been denied and the 
``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or ``software'' 
continues to be classified under a ``specially designed'' `catch-all' 
(see the definition of ``specially designed'' in Sec.772.1 of the 
EAR). The response will also include a determination regarding where the 
``specially designed'' ``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' 
``attachment,'' or ``software'' is classified on the CCL; or
    (iii) Returned without action (RWA) because insufficient information 
was provided or information was not provided in a timely fashion. These 
requests will be reviewed closely, and they will likely require 
additional follow up questions of applicants, so responding to such 
requests in a timely fashion will be an important part of the process to 
ensure such requests are considered by the U.S. Government.

    Note to paragraph (e): Although these requests for confirmation that 
an item is not ``specially designed'' are also reviewed by the 
Departments of State and Defense, similar to Sec.748.3(b)(3), the 
public is reminded that neither the BIS classification nor the CCATS 
number may be relied upon or cited as evidence that the U.S. Government 
has determined that the ``parts,'' ``components,'' ``accessories,'' 
``attachments'' and ``software'' described in the commodity 
classification determination or a release made from ``specially 
designed'' pursuant to Sec.748.3(e) are subject to the EAR (see Sec.
734.3 of the EAR).

Sec.748.4  Basic guidance related to applying for a license.

    (a) License applicant--(1) Export transactions. Only a person in the 
United States may apply for a license to export items from the United 
States. The applicant must be the exporter, who is the U.S. principal 
party in interest with the authority to determine and control the 
sending of items out of the United States, except for Encryption License 
Arrangements (ELA) (see Sec.750.7(d) of the EAR). See definition of 
``exporter'' in part 772 of the EAR.
    (2) Routed export transactions. The U.S. principal party in interest 
or the duly authorized U.S. agent of the foreign principal party in 
interest may apply for a license to export items from the United States. 
Prior to submitting an application, the agent that applies for a license 
on behalf of the foreign principal party in interest must obtain a power 
of attorney or other written

[[Page 677]]

authorization from the foreign principal party in interest. See Sec.
758.3(b) and (d) of the EAR.
    (3) Reexport transactions. The U.S. or foreign principal party in 
interest, or the duly authorized U.S. agent of the foreign principal 
party in interest, may apply for a license to reexport controlled items 
from one country to another. Prior to submitting an application, an 
agent that applies for a license on behalf of a foreign principal party 
in interest must obtain a power-of-attorney or other written 
authorization from the foreign principal party in interest, unless there 
is a preexisting relationship by ownership, control, position of 
responsibility or affiliation. See power-of-attorney requirements in 
paragraph (b)(2) of this section.
    (b) Disclosure of parties on license applications and the power of 
attorney--(1) Disclosure of parties. License applicants must disclose 
the names and addresses of all parties to a transaction. When the 
applicant is the U.S. agent of the foreign principal party in interest, 
the applicant must disclose the fact of the agency relationship, and the 
name and address of the agent's principal. If there is any doubt about 
which persons should be named as parties to the transaction, the 
applicant should disclose the names of all such persons and the 
functions to be performed by each in Block 24 of the application. Note 
that when the foreign principal party in interest is the ultimate 
consignee or end-user, the name and address need not be repeated in 
Block 24. See ``Parties to the transaction'' in Sec.748.5.
    (2) Power of attorney or other written authorization--(i) 
Requirement. An agent must obtain a power of attorney or other written 
authorization from the principal party in interest, unless there is a 
preexisting relationship by ownership, control, position of 
responsibility or affiliation, prior to preparing or submitting an 
application for a license, when acting as either:
    (A) An agent, applicant, licensee and exporter for a foreign 
principal party in interest in a routed transaction; or
    (B) An agent who prepares an application for export on behalf of a 
U.S. principal party in interest who is the actual applicant, licensee 
and exporter in an export transaction.
    (ii) Application. Block 7 of the application (documents on file with 
applicant) must be marked ``other'' and Block 24 (Additional 
information) must be marked ``748.4(b)(2)'' to indicate that the power 
of attorney or other written authorization is on file with the agent. 
See Sec.758.3(d) for power of attorney requirement, and see also part 
762 of the EAR for recordkeeping requirements.
    (c) Prohibited from applying for a license. No person subject to a 
denial order based on a conviction for a violation of any statute 
specified at 50 U.S.C. 4819(e)(1)(B) may apply for any license for a 
period up to 10 years from the date of the conviction. The duration of 
the prohibition shall be included as a term of the denial order. See 
Sec.766.25 of the EAR.
    (d) Prior action on a shipment. If you have obtained a license 
without disclosure of the facts described in this section, the license 
will be deemed to have been obtained without disclosure of all facts 
material to the granting of the license and the license so obtained will 
be deemed void. See part 764 of the EAR for other sanctions that may 
result in the event a violation occurs.
    (1) Licenses for items subject to detention or seizure. If you 
submit a license application for items that you know have been detained 
or seized by the Office of Export Enforcement or by the U.S. Customs 
Service, you must disclose this fact to BIS when you submit your license 
application.
    (2) Licenses for items previously exported. You may not submit a 
license application to BIS covering a shipment that is already laden 
aboard the exporting carrier, exported or reexported. If such export or 
reexport should not have been made without first securing a license 
authorizing the shipment, you must send a letter of explanation to the 
Office of Export Enforcement, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th and 
Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., H4520, Washington, D.C., 20230. The letter 
must state why a license was not obtained and disclose all facts 
concerning the shipment that would normally have been disclosed on the 
license application. You will be informed of any action and furnished 
any instructions by the Office of Export Enforcement.

[[Page 678]]

    (e) Multiple shipments. Your license application need not be limited 
to a single shipment, but may represent a reasonable estimate of items 
to be shipped throughout the validity of the license. Do not wait until 
the license you are using expires before submitting a new application. 
You may submit a new application prior to the expiration of your current 
license in order to ensure uninterrupted shipping.
    (f) Second application. You may not submit a second license 
application covering the same proposed transaction while the first is 
pending action by BIS.
    (g) Resubmission. If a license application is returned without 
action to you by BIS or your application represents a transaction 
previously denied by BIS, and you want to resubmit the license 
application, a new license application must be completed in accordance 
with the instructions contained in supplement no. 1 to part 748. Cite 
the Application Control Number on your original application in Block 24 
on the new license application.
    (h) Emergency processing. Applicants may request emergency 
processing of license applications by contacting the Outreach and 
Educational Services Division of the Office of Exporter Services by 
telephone on (202) 482-4811 or by facsimile on (202) 482-2927. Refer to 
the Application Control Number when making emergency processing 
requests. BIS will expedite its evaluation, and attempt to expedite the 
evaluations of other government agencies, of a license application when, 
in its sole judgement, the circumstances justify emergency processing. 
See Sec.750.7(g) of the EAR for the limit on the validity period of 
emergency licenses.

Sec.748.5  Parties to the transaction.

    The following parties may be entered on the application. The 
definitions, which also appear in part 772 of the EAR, are set out here 
for your convenience to assist you in filling out your application 
correctly.
    (a) Applicant. The person who applies for an export or reexport 
license, and who has the authority of a principal party in interest to 
determine and control the export or reexport of items. See Sec.
748.4(a) and definition of ``exporter'' in part 772 of the EAR.
    (b) Other party authorized to receive license. The person authorized 
by the applicant to receive the license. If a person and address is 
listed in Block 15 of the application, the Bureau of Industry and 
Security will send the license to that person instead of the applicant. 
Designation of another party to receive the license does not alter the 
responsibilities of the applicant, licensee or exporter.
    (c) Purchaser. The person abroad who has entered into the 
transaction to purchase an item for delivery to the ultimate consignee. 
In most cases, the purchaser is not a bank, forwarding agent, or 
intermediary. The purchaser and ultimate consignee may be the same 
entity.
    (d) Intermediate consignee. The person that acts as an agent for a 
principal party in interest and takes possession of the items for the 
purpose of effecting delivery of the items to the ultimate consignee. 
The intermediate consignee may be a bank, forwarding agent, or other 
person who acts as an agent for a principal party in interest.
    (e) Ultimate consignee. The principal party in interest located 
abroad who receives the exported or reexported items. The ultimate 
consignee is not a forwarding agent or other intermediary, but may be 
the end-user.
    (f) End-user. The person abroad that receives and ultimately uses 
the exported or reexported items. The end-user is not a forwarding agent 
or intermediary, but may be the purchaser or ultimate consignee.

[65 FR 42569, July 10, 2000, as amended at 73 FR 49330, Aug. 21, 2008]



Sec.748.6  General instructions for license applications.

    (a) Instructions. (1) General instructions for filling out license 
applications are in supplement no. 1 to this part.
    (2) License applications may require additional information due to 
the type of items requested in the application or

[[Page 679]]

the characteristics of the transaction. Special instructions for 
applications requiring such additional information are listed in Sec.
748.8 and described fully in supplement no. 2 to this part.
    (3) License applications may also require additional information for 
evaluation of the parties in the transaction. Special instructions for 
applications requiring such additional information are listed in 
Sec. Sec.748.9 through 748.13.
    (b) Application Control Number. Each application has an application 
control number.The Application Control Number, consisting of a letter 
followed by six digits, is for use by BIS when processing applications, 
and by applicants when communicating with BIS concerning pending 
applications. This number is used for tracking purposes within the U.S. 
Government. The Application Control Number is not a license number.
    (c) Approval or denial in entirety. License applications may be 
approved in whole or in part, denied in whole or in part, or returned 
without action. However, you may specifically request that your license 
application be considered as a whole and either approved or denied in 
its entirety.
    (d) Combining items on license applications. Any items may be 
combined on a single application, however, if the items differ 
dramatically (e.g., computers and shotguns) the number of BIS offices to 
which a license application may be referred for review may increase 
significantly. Accordingly, it is recommended that you limit items on 
each license application to those that are similar and/or related.
    (e) Attachments to applications. Documents required to be submitted 
with applications filed via SNAP-R must be submitted as PDF files using 
the procedures described in SNAP-R. Documents required to be submitted 
with paper applications must bear the application control number to 
which they relate and, if applicable, be stapled to the paper form. 
Where necessary, BIS may require you to submit additional information 
beyond that stated in the EAR confirming or amplifying information 
contained in your license application.
    (f) Changes in facts. Answers to all items on the license 
application will be deemed to be continuing representations of the 
existing facts or circumstances. Any material or substantive change in 
the terms of the order, or in the facts relating to the transaction, 
must be promptly reported to BIS, whether a license has been granted or 
the license application is still under consideration. If a license has 
been granted and such changes are not excepted in Sec.750.7(c) of the 
EAR, they must be reported immediately to BIS, even though shipments 
against the license may be partially or wholly completed, during the 
validity period of the license.
    (g) Request for extended license validity period. An extended 
validity period will generally be granted if your transaction is related 
to a multi-year project, when production lead time will not permit 
export or reexport during the normal validity period or for other 
similar circumstances. A continuing requirement to supply spare or 
replacement parts will not normally justify an extended validity period. 
To request an extended validity period, include justification for your 
request in Block 24 on the application.

80 FR 13217, Mar. 13, 2015]



Sec.748.7  Registering for electronic submission of license 
applications and related documents.

    (a) Scope. This section describes the procedures for registering to 
submit electronic documents to BIS. The procedures in this section apply 
to submission of export and reexport license applications, 
classification requests, and License Exception AGR notifications.
    (b) Registration and use of BIS's Simplified Network Applications 
System--Redesign (SNAP-R). Parties wishing to submit electronically must 
log on to https://snapr.bis.doc.gov/registration to register. Upon 
initial registration, the party (the filing entity) will have to supply 
the name of the entity that will be submitting documents electronically 
and its address and the name, telephone number, facsimile number and e-
mail address of the person who will act as account administrator. The 
person will be required to certify that the information so supplied is 
correct

[[Page 680]]

and complete, that the person has authority to register the entity that 
will be making electronic submissions and that the person has authority 
to act as an account administrator for that entity.
    (c) Role of account administrator. The account administrator is able 
to add and remove individual users to and from the account of the filing 
entity for which it is the account administrator. The account 
administrator can also make individual users account administrators and 
can terminate an individual user's administrator status. The account 
administrator can deactivate the account of an individual user and 
reactivate the account of a previously deactivated individual user. The 
account administrator can update the filing entity's identifying 
information such as name and address and any individual user's 
identifying information such as name, telephone number, facsimile number 
and e-mail address. The account administrator can reset individual 
users' passwords.
    (d) Role of individual users. An individual user may submit to BIS 
export and reexport license applications, classification requests, and 
License Exception AGR notifications.
    (e) Effect of submission to BIS. BIS may refuse to accept an 
electronic submission if it has reason to believe that the individual 
user making the submission lacks authority to do so. However, BIS is not 
obligated to conduct any checks to determine whether an individual user 
has the necessary authority and will generally treat users as acting 
within their authority. Acting through their account administrators, 
parties have the ability to remove an individual user when that 
individual user is no longer authorized to make submissions on behalf of 
that party to BIS and should do so promptly.
    (f) Requirement to keep identifying information accurate and 
current--(1) Filing entities. Filing entities must, through their 
account administrators, update their identifying information such as 
name, address and telephone number in their SNAP-R account as necessary 
to keep that information accurate and current.
    (2) Individual users. Individual users must, through their account 
administrators, update their identifying information such as name, 
telephone number, facsimile number and e-mail address in their SNAP-R 
accounts as necessary to keep that information accurate and current.

Sec.748.9  Support documents for evaluation of foreign parties in 
license applications and/or for promoting compliance with license 
requirements.

    (a) Scope. License applicants may be required to obtain support 
documents concerning the foreign parties and the disposition of the 
items intended for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country). Some 
support documents are issued by foreign governments, while other support 
documents are signed and issued by the purchaser and/or ultimate 
consignee. For support documents issued by foreign governments, any 
foreign legal restrictions or obligations exercised by the government 
issuing the support document are in addition to the conditions and 
restrictions placed on the transaction by BIS. However, the laws and 
regulations of the United States are in no way modified, changed, or 
superseded by the issuance of a support document by a foreign 
government.
    (b) Requirements to obtain support documents for license 
applications. Unless an exception in paragraph (c) of this section 
applies, a support document is required for certain license applications 
for:
    (1) The People's Republic of China (PRC) other than the Hong Kong 
Special Administrative Region (see Sec. Sec.748.10 and 748.11(a)(2));
    (2) ``600 Series Major Defense Equipment'' (see Sec.748.11);
    (3) Firearms and related commodities to member countries of the 
Organization of American States (see Sec.748.12); and
    (4) The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's 
Republic of China (see Sec.748.13).

    Note 1 to paragraph (b): On a case-by-case basis, BIS may require 
license applicants to obtain a support document for any license 
application.
    Note 2 to paragraph (b): For End-Use Certificate requirements under 
the Chemical Weapons Convention, see Sec.745.2 of the EAR.

    (c) Exceptions to requirements to obtain support documents. (1) Even 
if a support document requirement is imposed by paragraph (b) of this 
section, no support document is required for any of the following 
situations:
    (i) The ultimate consignee or purchaser is an ``Agency of the United 
States Government'' (see Sec.740.11(b)(1) for definition). If either 
the ultimate consignee or purchaser is not an agency of the United 
States government, however, a support document may still be required 
from the non-U.S. governmental party;
    (ii) The ultimate consignee or purchaser is a foreign government(s) 
or foreign government agency(ies), other than the government of the 
People's Republic of China. To determine whether the parties in a 
transaction meet the definition of ``foreign government agency,'' refer 
to the definition contained in part 772 of the EAR. If either the 
ultimate consignee or purchaser is not a foreign government or foreign 
government agency, however, a support document may still be required 
from the nongovernmental party;
    (iii) The license application is filed by, or on behalf of, a relief 
agency registered with the Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid, 
U.S. Agency for International Development, for export to a member agency 
in the foreign country;
    (iv) The license application is submitted for commodities for 
temporary exhibit, demonstration, or testing purposes;
    (v) The license application is submitted for commodities controlled 
for short supply reasons (see part 754 of the EAR);
    (vi) [Reserved]
    (vii) The license application is submitted for software or 
technology; or

[[Page 682]]

    (viii) The license application is submitted for encryption 
commodities controlled under ECCN 5A002, 5A004 or 5B002.
    (2) BIS will consider granting an exception to the requirement for 
obtaining a support document where the requirements cannot be met due to 
circumstances beyond the applicant's control. An exception will not be 
granted contrary to the objectives of the U.S. export control laws and 
regulations. Refer to Sec.748.13 of this part for specific 
instructions on procedures for requesting an exception.
    (d) Content of support documents. In addition to specific 
requirements described for each support document in Sec. Sec.748.10, 
748.11, and 748.12, the use and submission of support documents must 
comply with the following requirements.
    (1) English translation. All abbreviations, coded terms, or other 
expressions on support documents having special significance in the 
trade or to the parties to the transaction must be explained on an 
attachment to the document. Documents in a language other than English 
must be accompanied by an attachment giving an accurate English 
translation, either made by a translating service or certified by the 
applicant to be correct. Explanations or translations should be provided 
on a separate piece of paper, and not entered on the support documents 
themselves.
    (2) Responsibility for full disclosure. (i) The license application 
covering the transaction discloses all facts pertaining to the 
transaction. Information contained in a support document obtained after 
submission of a license application and not submitted to BIS as part of 
the application cannot be construed as extending or expanding or 
otherwise modifying the specific information supplied in a license 
application or license issued by BIS. The authorizations contained in 
the resulting license are not extended by information contained in the 
support document regarding reexport from the country of destination, 
transfer (in-country), or any other facts relative to the transaction 
that are not reported on the license application.
    (ii) Misrepresentations, either through failure to disclose facts, 
concealing a material fact, or furnishing false information, may subject 
responsible parties to administrative or criminal action by BIS.
    (iii) In obtaining the required support document, the applicant is 
not relieved of the responsibility for full disclosure of any other 
information concerning the ultimate destination, end use, or end user of 
which the applicant knows, even if inconsistent with the representations 
made in the applicable support document. The applicant is responsible 
for promptly notifying BIS of any change in the facts contained in the 
support document that comes to the applicant's attention.
    (e) Procedures for using support document with license application--
(1) Timing for obtaining support document. When a support document is 
required for a license application in Sec. Sec.748.10, 748.11, and 
748.12, license applicants may submit the application prior to receipt 
of a copy of the support document, unless BIS informs the applicant that 
the support document must be submitted with the application. However, if 
the license is granted, items authorized on the license may not be 
exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) until the license 
holder obtains a copy of the support document. The documents issued by 
the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative region that are 
required pursuant to Sec.748.13 are not used to evaluate license 
applications. They must be obtained before shipment and need not be 
obtained before submitting a license application.
    (2) Information necessary for license application. When a support 
document is required for a license application, applicants should mark 
the appropriate box in Block 7, regardless of whether a copy of the 
support document is on file with the applicant at the time of 
submission.
    (f) Recordkeeping provisions. License applicants must retain on file 
the original or a copy of any support document issued in support of a 
license application submitted to BIS. All recordkeeping provisions in 
part 762 of the EAR apply to this requirement.
    (g) Effect on license application review. BIS reserves the right in 
all respects to

[[Page 683]]

determine to what extent any license will be issued covering items for 
which a support document has been issued. If a support document was 
issued by a foreign government, BIS will not seek or undertake to give 
consideration to recommendations from the foreign government as to the 
action to be taken on a license application. A support document will be 
only one of the factors upon which BIS will base its licensing action, 
since end uses and other considerations are important factors in the 
decision making process.
    (h) Grace period for complying with requirements following 
regulatory change. (1) Whenever the requirement for a PRC End-User 
Statement, Statement by Ultimate Consignee or Purchaser, or Firearms 
Convention Import Certificate is imposed or extended by a change in the 
regulations, the license application need not conform to the new support 
documentation requirements for a period of 45 days after the effective 
date of the regulatory change published in the Federal Register.
    (2) License applications filed during the 45-day grace period may 
require the submission of evidence available to the applicant that will 
support representations concerning the ultimate consignee, ultimate 
destination, and end use, such as copies of the order, letters of 
credit, correspondence between the applicant and ultimate consignee, or 
other documents received from the ultimate consignee. If such evidence 
is required, applicants must also identify the regulatory change 
(including its effective date) that justifies exercise of the 45-day 
grace period.

Sec.748.10  People's Republic of China (PRC) End-User Statement.

    (a) Requirement to obtain document. Unless the provisions of Sec.
748.9(c) or Sec.748.11(a)(2) apply, a PRC End-User Statement is 
required for license applications including any of the following 
commodities destined for the PRC:
    (1) Cameras classified under ECCN 6A003 requiring a license to the 
PRC for any reason, and the value of such cameras exceeds $5,000;
    (2) Computers requiring a license to the PRC for any reason, 
regardless of the value of the computers; or
    (3) Any commodity(ies) requiring a license to the PRC for any reason 
on the Commerce Control List, and the total value of such commodity(ies) 
requiring a license exceeds $50,000.

    Note 1 to paragraph (a): If an order meets the commodity(ies) and 
value requirements listed above, then a PRC End-User Statement is 
required. An order may not be split into multiple license applications 
solely to avoid a requirement to obtain a PRC End-User Statement.
    Note 2 to paragraph (a): If an order includes both items that do 
require a license to the PRC and items that do not require a license to 
the PRC, the value of the latter items should not be factored into the 
value thresholds described above. Also, if a license application 
includes 6A003 cameras and other items requiring a license to the PRC, 
then the value of the 6A003 cameras should be factored into the value 
threshold described in paragraph (a)(3).
    Note 3 to paragraph (a): See Sec.748.11(a)(2) for permissive use 
of a Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser in place of a PRC 
End-User Statement.
    Note 4 to paragraph (a): On a case-by-case basis, BIS may require 
license applicants to obtain a PRC End-User Statement for a license 
application that would not otherwise require a PRC End-User Statement 
under the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section.
    Note 5 to paragraph (a): This requirement to obtain an end-user 
statement from the PRC Ministry of Commerce does not apply to 
transactions destined to the PRC Special Administrative Region of Hong 
Kong.

    (b) Obtaining the document. (1) If a PRC End-User Statement is 
required for any reason under paragraph (a) of this section, then 
applicants must request that the importer obtain a PRC End-User 
Statement for all items on a license application that require a license 
to the PRC for any reason listed on the CCL.
    (2) PRC End-User Statements are issued and administered by the 
Ministry of Commerce; Department of Mechanic, Electronic and High 
Technology Industries; Export Control Division I; Chang An Jie No. 2; 
Beijing 100731 China; Phone: (86)(10) 6519 7366 or 6519 7390; Fax: 
(86)(10) 6519 7543; http://zzyhzm.mofcom.gov.cn/. See the BIS Web site 
(www.bis.doc.gov) for the current contact information.

[[Page 684]]

    (c) Content of the document. (1) The license applicant's name must 
appear on the PRC End-User Statement submitted to BIS as the applicant, 
supplier, or order party.
    (2) License applicants must ensure that the following information is 
included on the PRC End-User Statement signed by an official of the 
Department of Mechanic, Electronic and High Technology Industries, 
Export Control Division I, of the PRC Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), 
with MOFCOM's seal affixed to it:
    (i) Title of contract and contract number (optional);
    (ii) Names of importer and exporter;
    (iii) End user and end use;
    (iv) Description of the commodity, quantity and dollar value; and
    (v) Signature of the importer and date.

    Note to paragraph (c): The license applicant should furnish the 
consignee with the commodity description contained in the CCL to be used 
in applying for the PRC End-User Statement. It is also advisable to 
furnish a manufacturer's catalog, brochure, or technical specifications 
if the commodity is new.

    (d) Procedures for using document with license application--(1) 
Using a PRC End-User Statement for multiple applications. A PRC End-User 
Statement may cover more than one purchase order and more than one item. 
Where the Statement includes items for which more than one license 
application will be submitted, the applicant should ensure that the 
total quantities on the license application(s) do not exceed the total 
quantities shown on the PRC End-User Statement.
    (2) Alterations. After a PRC End-User Statement is issued by the 
Government of the People's Republic of China, no corrections, additions, 
or alterations may be made on the certificate by any person. Any 
necessary corrections, additions, or alterations should be noted by the 
applicant in a separate statement on file with the applicant.
    (3) Validity period. A PRC End-User Statement is valid until the 
quantities of items identified on the Statement have been shipped.

[80 FR 13218, Mar. 13, 2015, as amended at 85 FR 83792, Dec. 23, 2020]



Sec.748.11  Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser.

    (a) Requirement to obtain document--(1) General requirement for all 
countries excluding the People's Republic of China (PRC). Unless an 
exception in Sec.748.9(c) or paragraph (a)(3) of this section applies, 
a Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser is required if the 
license application includes ``600 Series Major Defense Equipment'' (600 
series MDE) requiring a license for any reason on the Commerce Control 
List and such items are destined for a country other than the PRC.
    (2) Permissive substitute of Statement by Ultimate Consignee and 
Purchaser in place of PRC End-User Statement. The requirement to obtain 
a support document for license applications involving the PRC is 
generally determined by Sec.748.10(a) of the EAR. However, a Statement 
by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser may be substituted in place of a PRC 
End-User Statement when the commodities to be exported (i.e., 
replacement parts and components) are valued at $75,000 or less and are 
for servicing previously exported commodities.
    (3) Exception to general requirement. The general requirement 
described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section does not apply if the 
applicant is the same person as the ultimate consignee, provided the 
required statements are contained in Block 24 on the license 
application. This exemption does not apply, however, where the applicant 
and consignee are separate entities, such as parent and subsidiary, or 
affiliated or associated firms.

    Note 1 to paragraph (a): An order may not be split into multiple 
license applications solely to avoid a requirement to obtain a Statement 
by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser.
    Note 2 to paragraph (a): On a case-by-case basis, BIS may require 
license applicants to obtain a Statement by Ultimate Consignee and 
Purchaser for a license application that would not otherwise require a 
Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser under the requirements of 
paragraph (a) of this section.

    (b) Obtaining the document. (1) The ultimate consignee and purchaser 
must complete either a statement on company letterhead, or Form BIS-711,

[[Page 685]]

Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser, as described in paragraph 
(c) of this section. Unless otherwise specified, any reference in this 
section to ``Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser'' applies to 
both the statement on company letterhead and to Form BIS-711.
    (2) If the consignee and purchaser elect to complete the statement 
on letterhead and both the ultimate consignee and purchaser are the same 
entity, only one statement is necessary.
    (3) If the ultimate consignee and purchaser are separate entities, 
separate statements must be prepared and signed.
    (4) If the ultimate consignee and purchaser elect to complete Form 
BIS-711, only one Form BIS-711 (containing the signatures of the 
ultimate consignee and purchaser) need be completed.
    (5) Whether the ultimate consignee and purchaser sign a written 
statement or complete Form BIS-711, the following constraints apply:
    (i) Responsible officials representing the ultimate consignee or 
purchaser must sign the statement. ``Responsible official'' is defined 
as someone with personal knowledge of the information included in the 
statement, and authority to bind the ultimate consignee or purchaser for 
whom they sign, and who has the power and authority to control the use 
and disposition of the licensed items.
    (ii) The authority to sign the statement may not be delegated to any 
person (agent, employee, or other) whose authority to sign is not 
inherent in his or her official position with the ultimate consignee or 
purchaser for whom he or she signs. The signing official may be located 
in the United States or in a foreign country. The official title of the 
person signing the statement must also be included.
    (iii) The consignee and/or purchaser must submit information that is 
true and correct to the best of their knowledge and must promptly send a 
new statement to the applicant if changes in the facts or intentions 
contained in their statement(s) occur after the statement(s) have been 
forwarded to the applicant. Once a statement has been signed, no 
corrections, additions, or alterations may be made. If a signed 
statement is incomplete or incorrect in any respect, a new statement 
must be prepared, signed and forwarded to the applicant.
    (c) Content of the document. See supplement no. 3 to this part for 
the information necessary to complete a statement on company letterhead 
or on Form BIS-711.
    (d) Procedures for using document with license application--(1) 
Validity period. (i) If a Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser 
is obtained prior to submission of the license application and the 
Statement is required to support one or more license applications, an 
applicant must submit the first license application within one year from 
the date the statement was signed.
    (ii) All subsequent license applications supported by the same 
Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser must be submitted within 
four years of signature by the consignee or purchaser, whichever was 
last.
    (2) [Reserved]

Sec.748.12  Firearms import certificate or import permit.

    License applications for certain firearms and related commodities 
require support documents in accordance with this section. For 
destinations that are members of the Organization of American States 
(OAS), an FC Import Certificate or equivalent official document is 
required in accordance with paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section. 
For other destinations that require a firearms import or permit, the 
firearms import certificate or permit is required in accordance with 
paragraph (e) of this section.
    (a) Requirement to obtain document for OAS member states. Unless an 
exception in Sec.748.9(c) applies, an FC Import Certificate is 
required for license applications for firearms and related commodities, 
regardless of value, that are destined for member countries of the OAS. 
This requirement is consistent with the OAS Model Regulations described 
in Sec.742.17 of the EAR.
    (1) Items subject to requirement. Firearms and related commodities 
are those commodities controlled for ``FC Column 1'' reasons under ECCNs 
0A501

[[Page 686]]

(except 0A501.y), 0A502, 0A504 (except 0A504.f), or 0A505 (except 
0A505.d).
    (2) Countries subject to requirement. (i) OAS member countries 
include: Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, 
Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, 
Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, 
Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, 
Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, 
Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (3) Equivalent official document in place of FC Import Certificate. 
For those OAS member countries that have not yet established or 
implemented an FC Import Certificate procedure, BIS will accept an 
equivalent official document (e.g., import license or letter of 
authorization) issued by the government of the importing country as 
supporting documentation for the export of firearms.
    (b) Obtaining the document. (1) Applicants must request that the 
importer (e.g., ultimate consignee or purchaser) obtain the FC Import 
Certificate or an equivalent official document from the government of 
the importing country, and that it be issued covering the quantities and 
types of firearms and related items that the applicant intends to 
export. (See supplement no. 6 to this part for a list of the OAS member 
countries' authorities administering the FC Import Certificate System.) 
Upon receipt of the FC Import Certificate, its official equivalent, or a 
copy, the importer must provide the original or a certified copy of the 
FC Import Certificate or the original or a certified copy of the 
equivalent official document to the license applicant.
    (2) If the government of the importing country will not issue an FC 
Import Certificate or its official equivalent, the applicant must supply 
the information described in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(6) through (c)(8) 
of this section on company letterhead.
    (c) Content of the document. The FC Import Certificate or its 
official equivalent must contain the following information:
    (1) Applicant's name and address. The applicant may be either the 
exporter, supplier, or order party.
    (2) FC Import Certificate Identifier/Number.
    (3) Name of the country issuing the certificate or unique country 
code.
    (4) Date the FC Import Certificate was issued, in international date 
format (e.g., 24/12/12 for 24 December 2012, or 3/1/99 for 3 January 
1999).
    (5) Name of the agency issuing the certificate, address, telephone 
and facsimile numbers, signing officer name, and signature.
    (6) Name of the importer, address, telephone and facsimile numbers, 
country of residence, representative's name if commercial or government 
body, citizenship, and signature.
    (7) Name of the end user(s), if known and different from the 
importer, address, telephone and facsimile numbers, country of 
residence, representative's name if commercial (authorized distributor 
or reseller) or government body, citizenship, and signature. Note that 
BIS does not require the identification of each end user when the 
firearms and related commodities will be resold by a distributor or 
reseller if unknown at the time of export.
    (8) Description of the commodities approved for import including a 
technical description and total quantity of firearms, parts and 
components, ammunition and parts.

    Note 1 to paragraph (c)(8): You must furnish the consignee with a 
detailed technical description of each commodity to be given to the 
government for its use in issuing the FC Import Certificate. For 
example, for shotguns, provide the type, barrel length, overall length, 
number of shots, the manufacturer's name, the country of manufacture, 
and the serial number for each shotgun. For ammunition, provide the 
caliber, velocity and force, type of bullet, manufacturer's name and 
country of manufacture.

    (9) Expiration date of the FC Import Certificate in international 
date format (e.g., 24/12/12) or the date the items must be imported, 
whichever is earlier.
    (10) Name of the country of export (i.e., United States).
    (11) Additional information. Certain countries may require the 
tariff classification number, by class, under the

[[Page 687]]

Brussels Convention (Harmonized Tariff Code) or the specific technical 
description of a commodity. For example, shotguns may need to be 
described in barrel length, overall length, number of shots, 
manufacturer's name and country of manufacture. The technical 
description is not the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN).
    (d) Procedures for using document with license application--(1) 
Information necessary for license application. The license application 
must include the same commodities as those listed on the FC Import 
Certificate or the equivalent official document.
    (2) Alterations. After an FC Import Certificate or equivalent 
official document is used to support the issuance of a license, no 
corrections, additions, or alterations may be made on the FC Import 
Certificate by any person. Any necessary corrections, additions, or 
alterations should be noted by the applicant in a separate statement on 
file with the applicant.
    (3) Validity period. FC Import Certificates or equivalent official 
documents issued by an OAS member country will be valid until the 
expiration date on the Certificate or for a period of four years, 
whichever is shorter.
    (e) Requirement to obtain an import certificate or permit for other 
than OAS member states. If the country to which firearms, parts, 
components, accessories, and attachments controlled under ECCN 0A501, or 
ammunition controlled under ECCN 0A505, are being exported or reexported 
requires that a government-issued certificate or permit be obtained 
prior to importing the commodity, the exporter or reexporter must obtain 
and retain on file the original or a copy of that certificate or permit 
before applying for an export or reexport license unless:
    (1) A license is not required for the export or reexport; or
    (2) The exporter is required to obtain an import or end-user 
certificate or other equivalent official document pursuant to paragraphs 
(a) thorough (d) of this section and has, in fact, complied with that 
requirement.
    (3)(i) The number or other identifying information of the import 
certificate or permit must be stated on the license application.
    (ii) If the country to which the commodities are being exported does 
not require an import certificate or permit for firearms imports, that 
fact must be noted on any license application for ECCN 0A501 or 0A505 
commodities.

    Note 2 to paragraph (e): Obtaining a BIS Statement by Ultimate 
Consignee and Purchaser pursuant to Sec.748.11 does not exempt the 
exporter or reexporter from the requirement to obtain a certification 
pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section because that statement is not 
issued by a government.

[80 FR 13219, Mar. 13, 2015, as amended at 85 FR 4177, Jan. 23, 2020]



Sec.748.13  Hong Kong import and export licenses.

    (a) Requirement to obtain the document--(1) Exports and reexports to 
Hong Kong. An exporter or reexporter must obtain the documents described 
in paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (a)(1)(ii) of this section before using a 
license issued by BIS to export or reexport to Hong Kong any item 
subject to the EAR and controlled on the CCL for NS, MT, NP column 1, or 
CB reasons. Collectively, the documents issued by Hong Kong must cover 
all of the items to be exported or reexported pursuant to a license.
    (i) A copy of an import license issued to the Hong Kong importer by 
the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, pursuant 
to the Hong Kong Import and Export (Strategic Commodities) Regulations, 
that covers the items to be exported or reexported pursuant to that BIS 
license for which a Hong Kong import license is required and that is 
valid on the date of the export or reexport that is subject to the EAR; 
or
    (ii) A copy of a written statement issued by the Government of the 
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region that no import license is 
required to import into Hong Kong the item(s) to be exported or 
reexported to Hong Kong. The statement may have been issued directly to 
the Hong Kong importer or it may be a written statement available to the 
general public. The statement may be used for more than one export or 
reexport to Hong Kong so long as it remains an accurate statement of 
Hong Kong law.

[[Page 688]]

    (2) Reexports from Hong Kong. No license issued by BIS may be used 
to reexport from Hong Kong any item subject to the EAR controlled on the 
CCL for NS, MT, NP column 1, and/or CB reasons unless the reexporter has 
received either:
    (i) An export license issued by the Government of the Hong Kong 
Special Administrative Region, pursuant to the Hong Kong Import and 
Export (Strategic Commodities) Regulations, that covers all items to be 
rexported pursuant to that BIS license for which a Hong Kong export 
license is required and that is valid on the date of the reexport that 
is subject to the EAR; or
    (ii) A copy of a written statement issued by the Government of the 
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region that no export license is 
required from Hong Kong for the item(s) to be reexported. The statement 
may have been issued directly to the Hong Kong reexporter or it may be a 
written statement available to the general public. The statement may be 
used for more than one reexport from Hong Kong so long as it remains an 
accurate statement of Hong Kong law.
    (b) Recordkeeping. The documents required to be obtained by 
paragraph (a) of this section must be retained and made available to the 
U.S. Government upon request in accordance with part 762 of the EAR.

[82 FR 6218, Jan. 19, 2017]



Sec.748.14  Granting of exceptions to the support documentation 
requirements.

    (a) Overview. A request for an exception to obtaining the required 
support documentation will be considered by BIS; however, an exception 
will not be granted contrary to the objectives of the U.S. export 
control program. A request for exception may involve either a single 
transaction or, where the reason necessitating the request is continuing 
in nature, multiple transactions. If satisfied by the evidence 
presented, BIS may waive the support document requirement and accept the 
license application for processing.
    (b) Procedure for requesting an exception. The request for an 
exception must be submitted with the license application to which the 
request relates, and the reason(s) for requesting the exception must be 
described in Block 24 or referred to in Block 24. Where the request 
relates to more than one license application, it should be submitted 
with the first license application and referred to in Block 24 on any 
subsequent license application.
    (c) Action by BIS--(1) Single transaction request. Where a single 
transaction is involved, BIS will act on the request for exception at 
the same time as the license application with which the request is 
submitted. In those instances where the related license application is 
approved, the issuance of the license will serve as an automatic notice 
to the applicant that the exception was approved. If any restrictions 
are placed on granting of the exception, these will appear on the

Sec.748.15  Authorization Validated End-User (VEU).

    Authorization Validated End-User (VEU) permits the export, reexport, 
and transfer to validated end-users of any eligible items that will be 
used in a specific eligible destination. Validated end-users are those 
who have been approved in advance pursuant to the requirements of this 
section. To be eligible for authorization VEU, exporters, reexporters, 
and potential validated end-users must adhere to the conditions and 
restrictions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this section. If 
a request for VEU authorization for a particular end-user is not 
granted, no new license requirement is triggered. In addition, such a 
result does not render the end-user ineligible for license approvals 
from BIS.

[[Page 689]]

    (a) Eligible end-users. The only end-users to whom eligible items 
may be exported, reexported, or transferred under VEU are those 
validated end-users identified in supplement no. 7 to part 748, 
according to the provisions in this section and those set forth in 
supplement nos. 8 and 9 to this part that have been granted VEU status 
by the End-User Review Committee (ERC) according to the process set 
forth in supplement no. 9 to this part.
    (1) Requests for authorization must be submitted in the form of an 
advisory opinion request, as described in Sec.748.3(c)(2), and should 
include a list of items (items for purposes of authorization VEU include 
commodities, software and technology, except as excluded by paragraph 
(c) of this section), identified by ECCN, that exporters or reexporters 
intend to export, reexport or transfer to an eligible end-user, once 
approved. To ensure a thorough review, requests for VEU authorization 
must include the information described in supplement no. 8 to this part. 
Requests for authorization will be accepted from exporters, reexporters 
or end-users. Submit the request to: The Office of Exporter Services, 
Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Room 2099B, Washington, DC 20230. 
Mark the package ``Request for Authorization Validated End-User.''
    (2) In evaluating an end user for eligibility under authorization 
VEU, the ERC will consider a range of information, including such 
factors as: The entity's record of exclusive engagement in appropriate 
end-use activities; the entity's compliance with U.S. export controls; 
the need for an on-site review prior to approval; the entity's 
capability of complying with the requirements of authorization VEU; the 
entity's agreement to on-site reviews by representatives of the U.S. 
Government to ensure adherence to the conditions of the VEU 
authorization; and the entity's relationships with U.S. and foreign 
companies. In addition, when evaluating the eligibility of an end user, 
the ERC will consider the status of export controls and the support and 
adherence to multilateral export control regimes of the government of 
the eligible destination.
    (3) The VEU authorization is subject to revision, suspension or 
revocation entirely or in part.
    (4) Information submitted in a VEU request is deemed to constitute 
continuing representations of existing facts or circumstances. Any 
material or substantive change relating to the authorization must be 
promptly reported to BIS, whether VEU authorization has been granted or 
is still under consideration.
    (b) Eligible destinations. Authorization VEU may be used for the 
following destinations:
    (1) The People's Republic of China.
    (2) India.
    (c) Item restrictions. Items controlled under the EAR for missile 
technology (MT) and crime control (CC) reasons may not be exported or 
reexported under this authorization.
    (d) End-use restrictions. Items obtained under authorization VEU in 
China may be used only for civil end uses and may not be used for any 
activities described in part 744 of the EAR. Items obtained under 
authorization VEU in India may be used for either civil or military end 
uses and may not be used for any activities described in part 744 of the 
EAR. Exports, reexports, or transfers made under authorization VEU may 
be made to an end user listed in Supplement No. 7 to this part only if 
the items will be consigned to and for use by the validated end user. 
Eligible end-users who obtain items under VEU may only:
    (1) Use such items at the end-user's own facility located in an 
eligible destination or at a facility located in an eligible destination 
over which the end-user demonstrates effective control;
    (2) Consume such items during use; or
    (3) Transfer or reexport such items only as authorized by BIS.

    Note to paragraph (d): Authorizations set forth in supplement no. 7 
to this part are country-specific. Authorization as a validated end-user 
for one country specified in paragraph (b) of this section does not 
constitute authorization as a validated end-user for any other country 
specified in that paragraph.

    (e) Certification and recordkeeping. Prior to an initial export or 
reexport to

[[Page 690]]

a validated end-user under authorization VEU, exporters or reexporters 
must obtain certifications from the validated end-user regarding end-use 
and compliance with VEU requirements. Such certifications must include 
the contents set forth in supplement no. 8 to this part. Certifications 
and all records relating to VEU must be retained by exporters or 
reexporters in accordance with the recordkeeping requirements set forth 
in part 762 of the EAR.
    (f) Reporting and review requirements--(1)(i) Reports. Reexporters 
who make use of authorization VEU are required to submit annual reports 
to BIS. These reports must include, for each validated end-user to whom 
the exporter or reexporter exported or reexported eligible items:
    (A) The name and address of each validated end-user to whom eligible 
items were reexported;
    (B) The eligible destination to which the items were reexported;
    (C) The quantity of such items;
    (D) The value of such items; and
    (E) The ECCN(s) of such items.
    (ii) Reports are due by February 15 of each year, and must cover the 
period of January 1 through December 31 of the prior year. Reports must 
be sent to: Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and 
Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 
Avenue, NW., Room 2099B, Washington, DC 20230. Mark the package 
``Authorization Validated End-User Reports''.
    (2) Reviews. Records related to activities covered by authorization 
VEU that are maintained by exporters, reexporters, and validated end-
users who make use of authorization VEU will be reviewed on a periodic 
basis. Upon request by BIS, exporters, reexporters, and validated end-
users must allow review of records, including on-site reviews covering 
the information set forth in paragraphs (e) and (f)(1) of this section.
    (g) Notification requirement. Exporters and reexporters shipping 
under Authorization VEU and persons transferring (in-country) under 
Authorization VEU are required to provide the VEUs to which they are 
shipping or transferring notice of the shipment or transfer. Such 
notification must be conveyed to the VEU in writing and must include a 
list of the VEU-authorized contents of the shipment or transfer and a 
list of the ECCNs under which the VEU-authorized items in the shipment 
or transfer are classified, as well as a statement that the items are 
being, will be, or were shipped or transferred pursuant to Authorization 
VEU. Notification of the export, reexport or transfer (in-country) to 
the VEU must be made within a timeframe agreed to in writing by the VEU 
and the person exporting, reexporting or transferring (in-country). The 
VEU and the person exporting, reexporting or transferring (in-country) 
must agree to the notification timeframe prior to the initial shipment 
or transfer under Authorization VEU. Depending on the agreement between 
the VEU and the person exporting, reexporting or transferring (in-
country), a notification may be for individual shipments or for multiple 
shipments. Exporters, reexporters and VEUs are required to maintain the 
notifications they send or receive in accordance with their 
recordkeeping requirements.
    (h) Termination of Conditions on VEU Authorizations. VEUs that are 
subject to item-specific conditions and have received items subject to 
such conditions under Authorization VEU are no longer bound by the 
conditions associated with the items if the items no longer require a 
license for export or reexport to the PRC or India, as applicable, or 
become eligible for shipment under a license exception to the 
destination. Items that become eligible for a License Exception are 
subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable License Exception 
and the restrictions in Sec.740.2 of the EAR. Items that become 
eligible for export without a license and that remain subject to the EAR 
may only be exported, reexported, transferred (in-country) or disposed 
of in accordance with the requirements of the EAR. Termination of VEU 
conditions does not relieve a validated end-user of its responsibility 
for violations that occurred prior to the availability of a license 
exception or prior to the removal of license requirements.
    (i) Records. Records of items that were shipped under Authorization 
VEU

[[Page 691]]

prior to the removal of a license requirement or the availability of a 
license exception remain subject to the review requirements of paragraph 
(f)(2) of this section on and after the date that the license 
requirement was removed or the license exception became applicable.

    If you are not making a foreign availability assertion under part 
768 of the EAR, you may still mark the box ``Foreign Availability'' with 
an (X), if you are submitting an assertion of foreign availability with 
your license application. Foreign availability assertions covered under 
part 768 are limited to items controlled for national security reasons. 
However, if an applicant intends to include foreign availability support 
material for items not controlled for national security reasons, 
applicants are permitted to do this as part of the license application 
by marking the box ``Foreign Availability'' with an (X) and including 
the foreign availability information, along with the support material 
for the license application. Applicants must clearly label this support 
material as ``Foreign availability information--outside the scope of 
part 768''. Although this information is outside the scope of part 768, 
applicants should still use supplement no. 1 to part 768 for general 
guidance regarding what types of information may be suitable for 
demonstrating foreign availability. The purpose of submitting this type 
of foreign availability information will be to make the U.S. Government

you must include your company's Employer Identification Number unless 
you are filing as an individual or as an agent on behalf of the 
exporter. The Employee Identification Number is assigned by the Internal 
Revenue Service for tax identification purposes. Accordingly, you should

    Block 15: Other Party Authorized to Receive License. If you would 
like BIS to transmit the approved license to another party designated by 
you, complete all information in this Block, including name, street 
address, city, country, postal code and telephone number. Leave this 
space blank if the license is to be sent to the applicant. Designation 
of another party to receive the license does not alter the 
responsibilities of the applicant.
    Block 16: Purchaser. Enter the purchaser's complete name, street 
address, city, country, postal code, and telephone or facsimile number. 
Refer to Sec.748.5(c) of this part for a definition of ``purchaser''.

are submitting a license application. Enter the ultimate consignee's 
complete name, street address, city, country, postal code, and telephone 
or facsimile number. Provide a complete street address, P.O. Boxes are 
not acceptable. The ultimate consignee is the party who will actually 
receive the item for the end-use designated in Block 21. Refer to Sec.
748.5(e) of this part for a definition of ``ultimate consignee''. A 
bank, freight forwarder, forwarding agent, or other intermediary may not 
be identified as the ultimate consignee. Government purchasing 
organizations are the sole exception to this requirement. This type of 
entity may be identified as the government entity that is the actual 
ultimate consignee in those instances when the items are to be 
transferred to the government entity that is the actual end-user, 
provided the actual end-user and end-use is clearly identified in Block 
21 or in the additional documentation attached to the application.
    If your application is for the reexport of items previously 
exported, enter the new ultimate consignee's complete name, street

consignee or the party currently in possession of the items.
    Block 21: Specific End-Use: This Block must be completed if you are 
submitting a license application. Provide a complete and detailed 
description of the end-use intended

[[Page 693]]

by the ultimate consignee and/or end-user(s). If you are requesting 
approval of a reexport, provide a complete and detailed description of 
the end-use intended by the new ultimate consignee or end-user(s) and 
indicate any other countries for which resale or reexport is requested. 
If additional space is necessary, use Block 21 on Form BIS-748P-A or B. 
Be specific--vague descriptions such as ``research'', ``manufacturing'', 
or ``scientific uses'' are not acceptable.
    Block 22: For a license application, you must complete each of the 
sub-blocks contained in this Block. If you are submitting a 
classification request, you need not complete Blocks (e), (f), (g), and

in this Block if your application includes a digital computer or 
equipment containing a computer as described in supplement no. 2 to this 
part. Instructions on calculating the APP are contained in a Technical 
Note at the end of Category 4 in the CCL.
    (c) Model Number. Enter the correct model number for the item.
    (d) CCATS Number. If you have received a classification for this 
item from BIS, provide the CCATS number shown on the classification 
issued by BIS.
    (e) Quantity. Identify the quantity to be exported or reexported, in 
terms of the unit commonly used in the trade.
    (f) Units. The unit of quantity used in Block 22(e) must be entered 
on all license applications submitted to BIS. This Block may be left 
blank on license applications for technology only.
    (g) Unit Price. Provide the fair market value of the items you wish 
to export or reexport. Round all prices to the nearest whole dollar 
amount. Give the exact unit price only if the value is less than $0.50. 
If normal trade practices make it impractical to establish a firm 
contract price, state in Block 24 the precise terms upon which the price 
is to be ascertained and from which the contract price may be 
objectively determined.
    (h) Total Price. Provide the total price of the item(s) described in 
Block 22(j).
    (i) Manufacturer. Provide the name only of the manufacturer, if 
known, for each of the items you wish to export, reexport, or have BIS 
classify, if different from the applicant.
    (j) Technical Description. Provide a description of the item(s) you 
wish to export, reexport, or have BIS classify. Provide details when 
necessary to identify the specific item(s), include all characteristics 
or parameters shown in the applicable ECCN using measurements identified 
in the ECCN (e.g., basic ingredients, composition, electrical 
parameters, size, gauge, grade, horsepower, etc.). These characteristics 
must be identified for the items in the proposed transaction when they 
are different than the characteristics described in promotional 
brochure(s).
    Block 23: Total Application Dollar Value. Enter the total value of 
all items contained on the application in U.S. Dollars. The use of other 
currencies is not acceptable.
    Block 24: Additional Information. Enter additional data pertinent to 
the application as required in the EAR. Include special certifications, 
names of parties of interest not disclosed elsewhere, explanation of 
documents attached, etc. Do not include information concerning Block 22 
in this space.
    If your application represents a previously denied application, you 
must provide the Application Control Number from the original 
application.
    If you are requesting BIS to classify your product, use this space 
to explain why you believe the ECCN entered in Block 22(a) is 
appropriate. This explanation must contain an analysis of the item in 
terms of the technical control parameters specified in the appropriate 
ECCN. If you have not identified a recommended classification in Block 
22(a), you must state the reason you cannot determine the appropriate 
classification, identifying anything in the regulations that you believe 
precluded you from determining the correct classification.
    If additional space is necessary, use Block 24 on Form BIS-748P-A or 
B.
    This Block should be completed if your application includes a 9x515 
or ``600 series'' item that is equivalent to a transaction previously 
approved under an ITAR license or other approval. Enter the previous 
State license number or other approval identifier in Block 24 of the BIS 
license application. If more than one previous State license number or 
other approval identifier is applicable, then enter the most recent one. 
Only those license applications where the particulars of the EAR license 
application are equivalent as previously authorized under the ITAR 
license or other approval in regard to the description of the item 
(including the item's function, performance capabilities, form and fit), 
purchaser, ultimate consignee and end users on the license will receive 
full consideration under this paragraph, which may result in a quicker 
processing time. The classification of the 9x515 or ``600 series'' item 
in question will no longer be the same because the item would no longer 
be ``subject to the ITAR,'' but all other aspects of the description of 
the item must be the same in order to be reviewed under this expedited 
process

[[Page 694]]

under paragraph (x) of supplement no. 2 to part 748 of the EAR.
    Block 25: You, as the applicant or duly authorized agent of the 
applicant, must manually sign in this Block. Rubber-stamped or 
electronic signatures are not acceptable. If you are an agent of the 
applicant, in addition to providing your name and title in this Block, 
you must enter your company's name in Block 24. Type both your name and 
title in the space provided.

    In addition to the instructions contained in supplement no. 1 to 
part 748, you must also ensure that the additional requirements for 
certain items or types of transactions described in this supplement are 
addressed in your license application. All other blocks not specifically 
identified in this supplement must be completed in accordance with the 
instructions contained in supplement no. 1 to part 748. The term 
``Block'' used in this supplement relates to Form BIS-748P, unless 
otherwise noted.
    (a) Chemicals, medicinals, and pharmaceuticals. If you are 
submitting a license application for the export or reexport of 
chemicals, medicinals, and/or pharmaceuticals, the following information 
must be provided in Block 22.
    (1) Facts relating to the grade, form, concentration, mixture(s), or 
ingredients as may be necessary to identify the item accurately, and;
    (2) The Chemical Abstract Service Registry (C.A.S.) numbers, if they 
exist, must be identified.
    (b) Communications intercepting devices. If you are required to 
submit a license application under Sec.742.13 of this part, you must 
enter the words ``Communications Intercepting Device(s)'' in Block 9. 
The item you are requesting to export or reexport must be specified by 
name in Block 22(j).
    (c) Computers, telecommunications, information security items, and 
related equipment. If your license application includes items controlled 
by both Category 4 and Category 5, your license application must be 
submitted under Category 5 of the Commerce Control List (Sec.774.1 of 
the EAR)--see Category 5 Part 1 Notes 1 and 2 and Part 2 Note 1. License 
applications including computers controlled by Category 4 must identify 
an ``Adjusted Peak Performance'' (``APP'') in Block 22(b). If the 
principal function is telecommunications, an APP is not required. 
Computers, related equipment, or software performing telecommunication 
or local area network functions will be evaluated against the 
telecommunications performance characteristics of Category 5 Part 1, 
while information security commodities, software and technology will be 
evaluated against the information security performance characteristics

              Sec. Supplement No. 4 to Part 748 [Reserved]



Sec. Supplement No. 5 to Part 748--U.S. Import Certificate and Delivery 
                         Verification Procedure

    The United States participates in an Import Certificate/Delivery 
Verification procedure. Under this procedure, U.S. importers are 
sometimes required to provide their foreign suppliers with an U.S. 
International Import Certificate that is validated by the U.S. 
Government. This certificate tells the government of the exporter's 
country that the items covered by the certificate will be imported into 
the U.S. Economy and will not be reexported except as authorized by U.S. 
export control regulations. In addition, in some cases, the exporter's 
government may require a delivery verification. Under this procedure, 
the U.S. Customs Service validates a certificate confirming that the 
items have entered the U.S. economy. The U.S. importer must return this 
certificate to the foreign exporter.
    This supplement establishes the procedures and requirements of BIS 
with respect to both

[[Page 703]]

of these programs. Paragraph (a) of this supplement contains the 
requirements and procedures of the U.S. International Import Certificate 
procedure. Paragraph (b) of this supplement contains the requirements 
and procedures of the Delivery Verification procedure.
    (a) U.S. International Import Certificates. If you are a U.S. 
importer, a foreign supplier may request you to obtain a U.S. import 
certificate. The reason for this request is that the exporter's 
government requires a U.S. import certificate as a condition to issuing 
an export license. To obtain such a certificate you will have to fill in 
and execute the U.S. International Import Certificate form (Form BIS-
645P/ATF-4522/DSP-53) and submit it to the U.S. government agency that 
has jurisdiction over the items you are importing. In doing so, you will 
be making a representation to the United States Government that you will 
import the items described in the certificate into the United States or 
if not so imported, you will not divert, transship or reexport them to 
another destination with the explicit approval of the U.S. government 
agency that has jurisdiction over those items. (Representations that 
items will be entered into the U.S. do not preclude the temporary 
unloading of items in a foreign trade zone for subsequent entry into the 
economy of the U.S.) If the items described in the certificate are 
subject to U.S. Department of Commerce jurisdiction, the Department will 
validate the certificate and return it to you. You may then send the 
certificate to your foreign supplier. In this way the government of the 
exporting country is assured that the items will become subject to the 
export control laws of the United States.
    (1) Items for which the U.S. Department of Commerce issues U.S. 
International Import Certificates and forms to use. The Department of 
Commerce issues U.S. International Import Certificates for the following 
types of items.
    (i) Items controlled for National Security reasons. Items under the 
export licensing jurisdiction of BIS that are identified as controlled 
for national security reasons on the Commerce Control List (supplement 
no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR). You will need to submit in triplicate a 
completed Form BIS-645P/ATF-4522/DSP-53;
    (ii) Nuclear equipment and materials. Items subject to the export 
licensing jurisdiction of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for nuclear 
equipment and materials. (see 10 CFR part 110). You will need to submit 
in quadruplicate a completed Form BIS-645P/ATF-4522/DSP-53; and
    (iii) Munitions Items. Items listed on the U.S. Munitions List (see 
22 CFR part 121) that do not appear on the more limited U.S. Munitions 
Import List (27 CFR 47.21). You will need to submit in triplicate a 
completed Form BIS-645P. For triangular transactions (See paragraph 
(a)(5) of this supplement) involving items on the U.S. Munitions List, 
you must contact the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade 
Controls and use Form BIS-645P/ATF-4522/DSP-53. You should contact the 
Treasury Department, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms for items 
appearing on the U.S. Munitions Import List. You will need to use Form 
ATF-4522.
    (2) Where to submit forms. U.S. International Import Certificates 
and requests to amend certificates may be presented for validation 
either in person or by mail at the following locations.
    (i) By courier to the Bureau of Industry and Security, Room 2099B, 
14th Street and Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20230, Attn: 
Import Certificate Request; or
    (ii) In person or by mail at one of the following Department of 
Commerce U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service District Offices:

Boston, MA
Buffalo, NY
Chicago, IL
Cincinnati, OH
Cleveland, OH
Dallas, TX
Detroit, MI
Houston, TX
Kansas City, MO
Los Angeles, CA
Miami, FL
New Orleans, LO
New York, NY
Philadelphia, PA
Phoenix, AZ
Pittsburgh, PA
Portland, OR
St. Louis, MO
San Francisco, CA
Savannah, GA
Seattle, WA
Trenton, NJ

    (3) U.S. International Import Certificate validity periods. The U.S. 
International Import Certificate must be submitted to the foreign 
government within six months from the date of certification by the U.S. 
Department of Commerce. The expiration of this six-month period in no 
way affects the responsibility of the importer to fulfill the 
commitments made in obtaining the certificate. If the certificate is not 
presented to the government of the exporting country before the 
expiration of its validity period, the exporter must apply for a new 
certificate. The original unused U.S. International Import Certificate 
must be returned to BIS at the address specified in paragraph (a)(2)(i) 
of this supplement.
    (4) Statements on the certificate or amendments are representations 
to the U.S. Government which continue in effect.
    (i) All statements and representations made in a U.S. International 
Import Certificate or an amendment thereto, will be deemed to be 
continuing in nature until the transaction described in the certificate 
is completed and the items are delivered into the economy of the 
importing country.
    (ii) Any change of fact or intention in regard to the transaction 
described in the certificate shall be promptly disclosed to BIS by the 
U.S. importer by presentation of an

[[Page 704]]

amended certificate. The amended certificate must describe all of the 
changes and be accompanied by the original certificate bearing the 
certification of BIS. If the original certificate has been transferred 
to the foreign exporter, you must, where possible, attempt to obtain the 
original certificate prior to applying for an amendment. If the original 
certificate is unobtainable because the foreign exporter has submitted 
it to the appropriate foreign government, or for any other reason, then 
you must submit a written statement with your amendment giving the 
reasons for your failure to submit the original certificate.
    (5) Certificates for Triangular transaction (items will not enter 
the U.S. or applicant is not sure that they will enter the United 
States).
    (i) In accordance with international practice, BIS will, upon 
request, stamp the certificate with a triangular symbol as notification 
to the government of the exporting country that the U.S. importer is 
uncertain whether the items will be imported into the U. S. or knows 
that the items will not be imported into the U.S., but that, in any 
case, the items will not be delivered to any other destination except in 
accordance with the EAR.
    (ii) The triangular symbol on a certificate U.S. International 
Import Certificate is not, in and of itself, an approval by BIS to 
transfer or sell items to a foreign consignee. Note that a triangular 
Certificate will not be issued covering foreign excess property sold 
abroad by the U.S. Department of Defense.
    (6) Approval to export items to a foreign consignee prior to 
delivery under a U.S. International Import Certificate. The written 
approval of BIS is required before items covered by a U.S. International 
Import Certificate (whether or not bearing a triangular symbol) may be 
shipped to a destination other than the U.S. or Canada or sold to a 
foreign purchaser, and before title to or possession of such items may 
be transferred to a foreign transferee. This requirement does not apply 
after the items have been delivered in accordance with the undertaking 
set forth in the Certificate or if at the time of such shipment, sale, 
passage of possession or passage of title, a License Exception or a NLR 
provision of the EAR would authorize the transaction.
    (i) If prior approval is required, a letter requesting authorization 
to release the shipment shall be submitted to BIS at the address listed 
in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this supplement.
    (ii) The letter must contain the certificate number; date issued; 
location of the issuing office; names, addresses, and identities of all 
parties to the complete transaction; and the quantity, dollar value, and 
description of the items. The letter must be accompanied by the U.S. 
International Import Certificate, and all other documentation required 
by the EAR for the item and country of ultimate destination, as 
identified in part 748 of the EAR. If requirements stated in part 748 of 
the EAR do not apply to your transaction, you must identify the intended 
end-use of the items in your letter.
    (iii) Where the letter request is approved and is supported by a 
foreign import certificate, no further approval from BIS is required for 
the purchaser or transferee to resell or again transfer the items. 
However, where BIS approves a request that was not supported by a 
foreign import certificate, the person to whom approval is granted is 
required to inform the purchaser or transferee, in writing, that the 
items are to be shipped to the approved destination only and that no 
other disposition of the items is permitted without the approval of BIS.
    (iv) If the transaction is approved, a validated letter of approval 
will be sent to the U.S. purchaser for retention in his records. Where a 
DV or other official government confirmation of delivery is required, 
the letter will so indicate.
    (v) If the items covered by a certificate have been imported into a 
destination other than the U.S. and the foreign exporter of the items 
requests a Delivery Verification, the person who obtained the 
certificate must obtain a DV from the person to whom the items were 
delivered in the actual importing country. (If a DV is unobtainable, 
other official government confirmation of delivery must be obtained.) 
The DV or other official government confirmation of delivery must be 
submitted to BIS together with an explanatory letter giving the U.S. 
International Import Certificate number, date issued, and location of 
issuing office. BIS will then issue Form ITA-6008, Delivery Compliance 
Notice, in two copies, the original of which must be forwarded to the 
country of origin in order to serve as evidence to the exporting country 
that the requirements of the U.S. Government have been satisfied with 
respect to delivery of the items.
    (vi) Delivery, sale, or transfer of items to another U.S. purchaser.
    (A) Items covered by a U.S. International Import Certificate may not 
be sold, and title to or possession of such items may not be 
transferred, to another U.S. purchaser or transferee before the items 
are delivered to the U.S. (or to an approved foreign destination, as 
provided by paragraph (a)(5) of this supplement), except in accordance 
with the provisions described in paragraph (a)(6) of this supplement. 
The provisions of this paragraph do not apply after the items have been 
delivered in accordance with the undertaking set forth in the 
certificate.
    (B) Resale or transfer to another U.S. purchaser or transferee 
requires the prior approval of BIS only in cases where the buyer or 
transferee is listed in supplement no. 1 to

[[Page 705]]

part 766 of the EAR. However, you, as the person who obtained the 
certificate are required to notify BIS of any change in facts or 
intentions relating to the transaction, and in all cases you will be 
held responsible for the delivery of the items in accordance with the 
EAR. You are required in all cases to secure, prior to sale or transfer, 
and to retain in your files in accordance with the recordkeeping 
provisions contained in part 762 of the EAR, written acceptance by the 
purchaser or transferee of:
    (1) All obligations undertaken by, and imposed under the EAR, upon 
the holder of the certificate; and
    (2) An undertaking that all subsequent sales or transfers will be 
made subject to the same conditions.
    (C) The responsibility of the certificate holder for obtaining a DV 
also applies to those cases where the items are resold to a U.S. 
purchaser (See paragraph (b)(1) of this supplement.
    (vii) Reexport or transshipment of items after delivery to U.S. 
Items imported into the U.S. under the provisions of a U.S. 
International Import Certificate may not be reexported to any 
destination under the intransit provisions of License Exception TMP (see 
Sec.740.9(b)(1) of the EAR). However, all other provisions of the EAR 
applicable to items of domestic origin shall apply to the reexport of 
items of foreign origin shipped to the U.S. under a U.S. International 
Import Certificate.
    (viii) Lost or destroyed U.S. International Import Certificates. If 
a U.S. International Import Certificate is lost or destroyed, a 
duplicate copy may be obtained by the person in the U.S. who executed 
the original U.S. International Import Certificate by submitting to any 
of the offices listed in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this supplement new Form 
BIS-645P/ATF-4522/DSP-53 in the same way as an original request, except 
that the forms shall be accompanied by a letter detailing the 
circumstances under which the original certificate was lost or destroyed 
and certifying:
    (A) That the original U.S. International Import Certificate No. ___, 
dated ___, issued to (name and address of U.S. importer) for import from 
(foreign exporter's name and address) has been lost or destroyed; and
    (B) That if the original U.S. International Import Certificate is 
found, the applicant agrees to return the original or duplicate of the 
certificate to the Bureau of Industry and Security.
    (ix) Unused U.S. International Import Certificates. If the 
transaction will not be completed and the U.S. International Import 
Certificate will not be used, return the certificate for cancellation to 
BIS at the address listed in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this supplement.
    (b) Delivery Verification Certificate. U.S. importers may be 
requested by their foreign suppliers to furnish them with a certified 
Form BIS-647P, Delivery Verification Certificate, covering items 
imported into the U.S. These requests are made by foreign governments to 
assure that strategic items shipped to the U.S. are not diverted from 
their intended destination. In these instances, the issuance of an 
export license by the foreign country is conditioned upon the subsequent 
receipt of a Delivery Verification Certificate from the U.S. importer. 
Accordingly, your compliance with your foreign exporter's request for a 
Delivery Verification is necessary to ensure your foreign exporter 
fulfills its government obligations and is able to participate in future 
transactions with you. Failure to comply may subject your exporter to 
penalties that may prevent future trade.
    (1) The responsibility of a person or firm executing a U.S. 
International Import Certificate for providing the foreign exporter with 
confirmation of delivery of the items includes instances where the items 
are resold or transferred to another U.S. person or firm prior to actual 
delivery to the U.S. or to an approved foreign destination. The person 
who executed the U.S. International Import Certificate shall secure in 
writing from the U.S. purchaser or transferee, and retain in your files 
in accordance with the recordkeeping provisions stated in part 762 of 
the EAR:
    (i) Acceptance of the obligation to provide the purchaser or 
transferee with either the Delivery Verification (or other official 
government confirmation of delivery if a Delivery Verification is 
unobtainable) or assurance that this document was submitted to BIS; and
    (ii) An undertaking that each succeeding U.S. transferee or 
purchaser will assume the same obligation or assurance. In each case the 
seller or transferor must transmit to the U.S. purchaser or transferee 
the U.S. International Import Certificate number covering the export 
from the foreign country and request that they pass it on to any other 
U.S. purchasers or transferees.
    (2) Completion and certification of Delivery Verification 
Certificates. If you are requested by your foreign exporter to provide a

Sec. Supplement No. 8 to Part 748--Information Required in Requests for 
                 Validated End-User (Veu) Authorization

    VEU authorization applicants must provide to BIS certain information 
about the prospective validated end-user. This information must be 
included in requests for authorization submitted by prospective 
validated end-users, or exporters or reexporters who seek to have 
certain entities approved as validated end-users. BIS may, in the course 
of its evaluation, request additional information.

   Required Information for Validated End-User Authorization Requests

    (1) Name of proposed VEU candidates, including all names under which 
the candidate conducts business; complete company physical address 
(simply listing a post office box is insufficient); telephone number; 
fax number; e-mail address; company Web site (if available); and name of 
individual who should be contacted if BIS has any questions. If the 
entity submitting the application is different from the prospective 
validated end-user identified in the application, this information must 
be submitted for both entities. If the candidate has multiple locations, 
all physical addresses located in the eligible destination must be 
listed.
    (2) Provide an overview of the structure, ownership and business of 
the prospective validated end-user. Include a description of the entity, 
including type of business activity, ownership, subsidiaries, and joint-
venture projects, as well as an overview of any business activity or 
corporate relationship that the entity has with either government or 
military organizations.
    (3) List the items proposed for VEU authorization approval and their 
intended end-uses. Include a description of the items; the ECCN for all 
items, classified to the subparagraph level, as appropriate; technical 
parameters for the items including performance specifications; and end-
use description for the items. If BIS has previously classified the 
item, the Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System (CCATS) 
number may be provided in lieu of the information listed in the 
foregoing provisions of this paragraph.
    (4) Provide the physical address(es) of the location(s) where the 
item(s) will be used, if this address is different from the address of 
the prospective validated end-user provided in paragraph (1) of this 
supplement.
    (5) If the prospective validated end-user plans to reexport or 
transfer the item, specify the destination to which the items will be 
reexported or transferred.
    (6) Specify how the prospective validated end-user's record keeping 
system will allow compliance with the recordkeeping requirements set 
forth in Sec.748.15(e) of the EAR. Describe the system that is in 
place to ensure compliance with VEU requirements.
    (7) Include an original statement on letterhead of the prospective 
validated end-user, signed and dated by a person who has authority to 
legally bind the prospective validated end-user, certifying that the 
end-user will comply with all VEU requirements. This statement must 
include acknowledgement that the prospective end-user:
    (i) Has been informed of and understands that the item(s) it may 
receive as a validated end-user will have been exported in accordance 
with the EAR and that use or diversion of such items contrary to the EAR 
is prohibited;
    (ii) Understands and will abide by all authorization VEU end-use 
restrictions, including the requirement that items received under 
authorization VEU will only be used for authorized end-uses and may not 
be used for any activities described in part 744 of the EAR;
    (iii) Will comply with VEU recordkeeping requirements; and
    (iv) Agrees to allow on-site reviews by U.S. Government officials to 
verify the end-user's compliance with the conditions of the VEU 
authorization.

 Sec. Supplement No. 9 to Part 748--End-User Review Committee
 Procedures

    (1) The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives 
of the Departments of State, Defense, Energy, and Commerce, and other 
agencies, as appropriate, is responsible for determining whether to add 
to, to remove from, or otherwise amend the list of validated end-users 
and associated eligible items set forth in supplement no. 7 to this 
part. The Department of Commerce chairs the ERC.
    (2) Unanimous vote of the Committee is required to authorize VEU 
status for a candidate or to add any eligible items to a pre-existing 
authorization. Majority vote of the Committee is required to remove VEU 
authorization or to remove eligible items from a pre-existing 
authorization.
    (3) In addition to requests submitted pursuant to Sec.748.15, the 
ERC will also consider candidates for VEU authorization that are 
identified by the U.S. Government. When the U.S. Government identifies a 
candidate for VEU authorization, relevant parties (i.e., end-users and 
exporters or reexporters, when they can be identified) will be notified, 
before the ERC determines whether VEU authorization is appropriate, as 
to which end-users have been identified as potential VEU authorization 
candidates. End-users are not

[[Page 714]]

obligated to accept the Government's nomination.
    (4) The ERC will make determinations whether to grant VEU 
authorization to each VEU candidate no later than 30 calendar days after 
the candidate's complete application is circulated to all ERC agencies. 
The Committee may request additional information from an applicant or 
potential validated end-user related to a particular VEU candidate's 
application. The period during which the ERC is waiting for additional 
information from an applicant or potential validated end-user is not 
included in calculating the 30 calendar day deadline for the ERC's 
determination.
    (5) If an ERC agency is not satisfied with the decision of the ERC, 
that agency may escalate the matter to the Advisory Committee on Export 
Policy (ACEP). The procedures and time frame for escalating any such 
matters are the same as those specified for license applications in 
Executive Order 12981, as amended by Executive Orders 13020, 13026 and 
13117 and referenced in Sec.750.4 of the EAR.
    (6) A final determination at the appropriate decision-making level 
to amend the VEU authorization list set forth in supplement no. 7 to 
this part operates as clearance by all member agencies to publish the 
amendment in the Federal Register.
    (7) The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export 
Administration will communicate the determination on each VEU request to

[61 FR 12829, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 72 FR 33662, June 19, 2007]



Sec.750.3  Review of license applications by BIS and other government
agencies and departments.

    (a) Review by BIS. In reviewing specific license applications, BIS 
will conduct a complete analysis of the license

[[Page 715]]

application along with all documentation submitted in support of the 
application. In addition to reviewing the item and end-use, BIS will 
consider the reliability of each party to the transaction and review any 
available intelligence information. To the maximum extent possible, BIS 
will make licensing decisions without referral of license applications 
to other agencies, however, BIS may consult with other U.S. departments 
and agencies regarding any license application.
    (b) Review by other departments or agencies. (1) The Departments of 
Defense, Energy, State, and the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency 
(ACDA) have the authority to review any license application submitted 
under the EAR. In addition, BIS may, where appropriate, refer license 
applications to other U.S. government departments or agencies. These 
agencies and departments will be referred to as ``agencies'' for the 
purposes of this part. Though these agencies have the authority to 
review any license application, they may determine that they do not need 
to review certain types of license applications. In these instances, the 
agency will provide BIS with a Delegation of Authority to process those 
license applications without review by that particular agency.
    (2) The Departments of Defense, Energy, State, and ACDA are 
generally concerned with license applications involving items controlled 
for national security, missile technology, nuclear nonproliferation, and 
chemical and biological weapons proliferation reasons or destined for 
countries and/or end uses of concern. In particular, these agencies are 
concerned with reviewing license applications as follows:
    (i) The Department of Defense is concerned primarily with items 
controlled for national security and regional stability reasons and with 
controls related to encryption items;
    (ii) The Department of Energy is concerned primarily with items 
controlled for nuclear nonproliferation reasons;
    (iii) The Department of State is concerned primarily with items 
controlled for national security, nuclear nonproliferation, missile 
technology, regional stability, anti-terrorism, crime control reasons, 
and sanctions; and
    (iv) The Department of Justice is concerned with controls relating 
to encryption items and items primarily useful for the surreptitious 
interception of wire, oral, or electronic communications.

Sec.750.4  Procedures for processing license applications.

    (a) Overview. (1) All license applications will be resolved or 
referred to the President no later than 90 calendar days from the date 
of BIS's registration of the license application. Processing times for 
the purposes of this section are defined in calendar days. The 
procedures and time limits described in this part apply to all license 
applications registered on or after February 4, 1996. The procedures and 
time limits in effect prior to December 6, 1995 will apply to license 
applications registered prior to February 4, 1996.
    (2) Properly completed license applications will be registered 
promptly upon receipt by BIS. Registration is defined as the point at 
which the application is entered into BIS's electronic license 
processing system. If your application contains deficiencies that 
prevent BIS from registering your application, BIS will attempt to 
contact you to correct the deficiencies, however, if BIS is unable to 
contact you, the license application will be returned without being 
registered. The specific deficiencies requiring return will be 
enumerated in a notice accompanying the returned license application. If 
a license application is registered, but BIS is unable to correct 
deficiencies crucial to processing the license application, it will be 
returned without action. The notice will identify the deficiencies and 
the action necessary to correct the deficiencies. If you decide to 
resubmit the license application, it will be treated as a new license 
application when calculating license processing time frames.
    (b) Actions not included in processing time calculations. The 
following actions will not be counted in the time period calculations 
described in paragraph

[[Page 716]]

(a)(1) of this section for the processing of license applications:
    (1) Agreement by the applicant to the delay. BIS may request 
applicants to provide additional information in support of their license 
application, respond to questions arising during processing, or accept 
proposed conditions or riders on their license application. If BIS has 
provided the applicant with an intent to deny letter described in Sec.
750.6 of this part, processing times may be suspended in order to 
negotiate modifications to a license application and obtain agreement to 
such modifications from the foreign parties to the license application.
    (2) Pre-license checks. BIS conducts pre-license checks in order to 
establish the identity and reliability of the recipient of the items 
subject to the EAR that require a license, as well as to substantiate 
representations made on the license application. The results of the pre-
license check, including the U.S. government's inability to conduct the 
pre-license check due to the end user's or host government's actions, 
will be considered in determining the outcome of a license application. 
The time required to conduct a pre-license check is not included in 
license application processing time calculations according to this 
paragraph, if the pre-license check is:
    (i) Conducted through government channels, and
    (ii) The request for a pre-license check is made by the Secretary or 
by another agency within the following time frames:
    (A) The pre-license check is requested within 5 days of the 
determination that it is necessary; and
    (B) The analysis resulting from the pre-license check is completed 
and reported to licensing officials within 5 days.
    (3) Government-to-Government assurances. Requests for government-to-
government assurances of suitable end-use of items approved for export 
or reexport when failure to obtain such assurances would result in 
rejection of the license application, provided that:
    (i) The request for such assurances is sent to the Secretary of 
State within five days of the determination that the assurances are 
required;
    (ii) The Secretary of State initiates the request of the relevant 
government within 10 days of receipt of the request for such assurances; 
and
    (iii) The license is issued within 5 days of the Secretary's receipt 
of the requested assurances.
    (4) Consultations. Consultation with other governments, if such 
consultation is provided for by a relevant bilateral arrangement or 
multilateral regime as a precondition for approving a license.
    (5) Multilateral reviews. Multilateral review of a license 
application if such review is required by the relevant multilateral 
regime.
    (6) Congressional notification. Under Section 6(j) of the Export 
Administration Act, as amended (EAA), the Secretaries of Commerce and 
State are required to notify appropriate Committees of the Congress 30 
days prior to issuing a license to any country designated by the 
Secretary of State as being terrorist-supporting for any items that 
could make a significant contribution to the military potential of such 
countries, or could enhance the ability of such countries to support 
acts of international terrorism. Accordingly, the issuance of any 
license subject to this requirement will be delayed for 30 days.
    (i) Designated countries. The following countries have been 
designated by the Secretary of State as terrorist-supporting countries: 
Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.
    (ii) Items subject to notification requirement. License applications 
involving the export or reexport of the following items to the military, 
police, intelligence or other sensitive end-users are subject to this 
notification requirement:
    (A) All items controlled for national security reasons;
    (B) All items controlled for chemical and biological weapons 
proliferation reasons;
    (C) All items controlled for missile technology reasons;
    (D) All items controlled for nuclear nonproliferation reasons; and
    (E) All items controlled by the CCL where the entry heading 
identifies the items controlled as those contained in

[[Page 717]]

the Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions List.
    (iii) Additional notifications. The Secretaries of Commerce and 
State must also notify the appropriate Congressional committees 30 days 
before a license is issued for the export or reexport of any item 
controlled on the CCL to a designated country if the Secretary of State 
determines that the export or reexport ``could make a significant 
contribution to the military potential of such country, including its 
military logistics capability, or could enhance the ability of such 
country to support acts of international terrorism.''
    (7) Congressional notification. Congressional notification, 
including any consultations prior to notification, prior to the issuance 
of an authorization to export when notification is required by Sec.
743.5 of the EAR.
    (8) Satellites for launch. Applicant must obtain approval by the 
Department of Defense of a technology transfer control plan and the 
National Security Agency of an encryption technology transfer control 
plan and must make arrangements with the Department of Defense for 
monitoring of all launch activities.
    (c) Initial processing. Within 9 days of license application 
registration, BIS will, as appropriate:
    (1) Contact the applicant if additional information is required, if 
the license application is improperly completed, or required support 
documents are missing, to request additional or corrected information;
    (2) Assure the stated classification on the license application is 
correct;
    (3) Return the license application if a license is not required with 
a statement notifying the applicant that a license is not required;
    (4) Approve the license application or notify the applicant of the 
intent to deny the license application; or
    (5) Refer the license application electronically along with all 
necessary recommendations and analysis concurrently to all agencies 
unless the application is subject to a Delegation of Authority. Any 
relevant information not contained in the electronic file will be 
simultaneously forwarded in paper copy.
    (d) Review by other agencies and/or interagency groups. (1) Within 
10 days of receipt of a referral the reviewing agency must advise BIS of 
any information not contained in the referral as described in paragraph 
(c)(5) of this section. BIS will promptly request such information from 
the applicant. The time that elapses between the date the information is 
requested by the reviewing agency and the date the information is 
received by the reviewing agency will not be counted in processing time 
frames.
    (2) Within 30 days of receipt of the initial referral, the reviewing 
agency will provide BIS with a recommendation either to approve (with or 
without conditions or riders) or deny the license application. As 
appropriate, such a recommendation may be made with the benefit of 
consultation and/or discussions in interagency groups established to 
provide expertise and coordinate interagency consultation. These 
interagency groups consist of:
    (i) The Missile Technology Export Control Group (MTEC). The MTEC, 
chaired by the Department of State, reviews license applications 
involving items controlled for missile technology reasons. The MTEC also 
reviews license applications involving items not controlled for missile 
technology (MT) reasons, but destined for a country and/or end-use/end-
user of MT concern.
    (ii) The SubGroup on Nuclear Export Coordination (SNEC). The SNEC, 
chaired by the Department of State, reviews license applications 
involving items controlled for nuclear nonproliferation reasons. The 
SNEC also reviews license applications involving items not controlled 
for nuclear nonproliferation (NP) reasons, but destined for a country 
and/or end-use/end-user of NP concern.
    (iii) The Shield. The Shield, chaired by the Department of State, 
reviews license applications involving items controlled for chemical and 
biological weapons reasons. The Shield also reviews license applications 
involving items not controlled for chemical and biological weapons (CBW) 
reasons, but destined for a country and/or end-use/end-user of CBW 
concern.
    (iv) Remote Sensing Interagency Working Group (RSIWG). The RSIWG,

[[Page 718]]

chaired by the State Department, reviews license applications involving 
remote sensing spacecraft described in ECCN 9A515.a.1, .a.2, .a.3, or 
.a.4, sensitive remote sensing components described in 9A515.g, or 
``technology'' described in ECCN 9E515.f.
    (e) Recommendations by reviewing agencies. Reviewing agencies 
recommending denial of a license application must provide a statement of 
reasons, consistent with the provisions of the EAA or EAR, and cite both 
the statutory and the regulatory basis for the recommendation to deny. A 
reviewing agency that fails to provide a recommendation within 30 days 
with a statement of reasons supported by the statutory and regulatory 
basis shall be deemed to have no objection to the final decision of BIS.
    (f) Interagency dispute resolution and escalation procedures--(1) 
Escalation to the Operating Committee (OC). (i) In any instance where 
the reviewing agencies are not in agreement on final disposition of a 
license application, it will be escalated to the OC for resolution. The 
Chair of the OC will consider the recommendations of the reviewing 
agencies and any information provided by the applicant in person during 
an open OC session. Each agency will be informed of the Chair's decision 
on the license application within 14 days after the deadline for 
receiving agency recommendations.
    (ii) If any agency disagrees with the OC Chair's decision, the 
agency may escalate the decision by appealing to the Chair of the 
Advisory Committee on Export Policy for resolution. If such a request 
for escalation is not made within 5 days of the decision of the OC 
Chair, the Chair's decision will be final.
    (2) Escalation to the Advisory Committee on Export Policy (ACEP). 
Requests for escalation to the ACEP must be in writing from an official 
appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, or 
a person properly acting in such capacity, and cite both the statutory 
and the regulatory basis for the appeal. The ACEP will review all 
relevant information and recommendations. The Chair of the ACEP will 
inform the reviewing agencies of the majority vote decision of the ACEP 
within 11 days from the date of receipt of the escalation request. 
Within 5 days of the decision, any dissenting agency may appeal in 
writing the ACEP's decision to the Secretary of Commerce in the 
Secretary's capacity as the Chair of the Export Administration Review 
Board. The written request must be made by the head of the agency 
requesting escalation and cite both the statutory and the regulatory 
basis for the appeal. Within the same period of time, the Secretary may 
initiate a meeting on his or her own initiative to consider a license 
application. In the absence of a timely appeal, the decision of the ACEP 
will be final.
    (3) Escalation to the Export Administration Review Board (EARB). The 
EARB will review all relevant information and recommendations, and such 
other export control matters as may be appropriate. The Secretary of 
Commerce will inform the reviewing agencies of the majority vote 
decision of the EARB within 11 days from the date of receipt of the 
appeal. Within 5 days of the decision, any agency dissenting from the 
decision of the EARB may appeal the decision to the President. The 
appeal must be in writing from the head of the dissenting agency. In the 
absence of a timely appeal, the decision of the EARB will be final.

Sec.750.5  [Reserved]



Sec.750.6  Denial of license applications.

    (a) Intent to deny notification. If BIS intends to deny your license 
application, BIS will notify you in writing within 5 days of the 
decision. The notification will include:
    (1) The intent to deny decision;
    (2) The statutory and regulatory basis for the denial;
    (3) To the extent consistent with the national security and foreign 
policy of the United States, the specific considerations that led to the 
decision to deny the license application;
    (4) What, if any, modifications or restrictions to the license 
application

[[Page 719]]

would allow BIS to reconsider the license application;
    (5) The name of the BIS representative in a position to discuss the 
issues with the applicant; and
    (6) The availability of appeal procedures.
    (b) Response to intent to deny notification. You will be allowed 20 
days from the date of the notification to respond to the decision before 
the license application is denied. If you respond to the notification, 
BIS will advise you if, as a result of your response, the decision to 
deny has been changed. Unless you are so advised by the 45th day after 
the date of the notification, the denial will become final, without 
further notice. You will then have 45 days from the date of final denial 
to exercise the right to appeal under part 756 of the EAR.



Sec.750.7  Issuance of licenses.

    (a) Scope. Unless limited by a condition set out in a license, the 
export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) authorized by a license is 
for the item(s), end-use(s), and parties described in the license 
application and any letters of explanation. The applicant must inform 
the other parties identified on the license, such as the ultimate 
consignees and end users, of the license's scope and of the specific 
conditions applicable to them. BIS grants licenses in reliance on 
representations the applicant made or submitted in connection with the 
license application, letters of explanation, and other documents 
submitted. Any license obtained in which a false or misleading 
representation was made, or a material fact was falsified or concealed 
on the license application, letters of explanation, or any document 
submitted in connection with the license application, shall be deemed 
void as of the date of issuance. See Sec.750.8(a) of the EAR, which 
provides that all licenses are subject to revocation, in whole or in 
part, without notice. See part 764 of the EAR for other sanctions that 
may result in the event a violation occurs. A BIS license authorizing 
the release of ``technology'' to an entity also authorizes the release 
of the same ``technology'' to the entity's foreign persons who are 
permanent and regular employees (and who are not proscribed persons) of 
the entity's facility or facilities authorized on the license, except to 
the extent a license condition limits or prohibits the release of the 
``technology'' to foreign persons of specific countries or country 
groups.
    (b) Issuance of a license. BIS may issue a license electronically 
via its Simplified Network Application Processing (SNAP-R) system or via 
paper or both electronically and via paper. Each license has a license 
number that will be shown on the license.
    (c) Changes to the license. (1) The following non-material changes 
do not require submission of a ``Replacement'' license or any other 
notification to BIS. (If you wish to make any change not identified in 
this paragraph, you will need to submit a ``Replacement'' license in 
accordance with the instructions contained in supplement no. 1 to part 
748 of the EAR, Block 11):
    (i) Decrease in unit price or total value;
    (ii) Increase in price if permitted under the shipping tolerances in 
Sec.750.11 of this part;
    (iii) Increase in price that can be justified on the basis of 
changes in point of delivery, port of export, or as a result of 
transportation cost, drayage, port charges, warehousing, currency 
fluctuations, etc.;
    (iv) Establishment of unit or total price in conformance with a 
``price statement'' on a license that permits price to be based on the 
market price at a specified date plus an exporter's mark-up, or like 
basis;
    (v) Change in intermediate consignee if the new intermediate 
consignee is located in the country of ultimate destination as shown on 
the license, except a change in, or addition of, an intermediate 
consignee involving a consolidated shipment;
    (vi) Change in continuity of shipment by unloading from carrier at a 
country listed in Country Group B (see supplement no. 1 to part 740 of 
the EAR) port not in the country of ultimate destination, without the 
designation of an intermediate consignee on the shipping documents and 
license, provided:
    (A) The purpose is to transfer the shipment to another vessel, 
barge, or vehicle, solely for onforwarding to the

[[Page 720]]

country of destination shown on the shipping documents and the license;
    (B) The shipment is moving on a through bill of lading;
    (C) The carrier is not registered in, owned or controlled by, or 
under charter or lease to a country in Country Group D:1 or E:2 (see 
supplement no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR), or a national of any of these 
countries;
    (D) The carrier retains custody of the shipment until it is 
delivered to the ultimate consignee; and
    (E) The original bill of lading or air waybill first issued at the 
port of export is delivered with the shipment to the ultimate consignee;
    (vii) Change in address of purchaser or ultimate consignee if the 
new address is located within the same country shown on the license; or
    (viii) Change in ECCN, where necessary only for the purpose of 
conforming to an official revision in the CCL; or wording of the item 
description. This does not cover an actual change in the item to be 
shipped, or an increase in the total price or quantity on the license.
    (ix) Direct exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) to and 
among approved end users and the ultimate consignee on a license, 
provided those end users and ultimate consignee are listed by name and 
location on such license and the license does not contain any conditions 
specific to the ultimate consignee that cannot be complied with by the 
end user, such as a reporting requirement that must be made by the 
ultimate consignee. Reexports and transfers (in-country) among approved 
end users may be further limited by license conditions; or
    (x) Export, reexport or transfer (in-country) of missile technology 
(MT) controlled minimum necessary ``software'' and/or ``technology'' 
permitted pursuant to the missile technology licensing policy in Sec.
742.5(b)(3) of the EAR. (See Sec.742.5(b)(3)(i) for the scope of 
eligible minimum ``software'' and/or ``technology'' and other 
limitations for licenses for MT controlled items).

    Note 1 to paragraph (c)(1)(x): This MT licensing policy is 
implemented pursuant to paragraph (c)(1)(x) of this section because it 
applies to all MT licenses, except when a condition is placed on the 
license which excludes the use of paragraph (c)(1)(x) of this section, 
as described in Sec.742.5(b)(3)(ii).
    Note 2 to paragraph (c)(1)(x): License Exception TSU under Sec.
740.13 of the EAR is available for the ECCNs controlled for MT reasons 
specified in paragraph (a)(5) in Sec.740.2, provided the software or 
technology is for an end use specified in that paragraph and meets the 
requirements of License Exception TSU. (See Sec. Sec.740.2(a)(5) and 
740.13). The licensing policy in Sec.742.5(b)(3) is only available for 
licensed exports (or reexports, or transfers (in-country)).

    (2) In some circumstances, BIS may authorize changing the name of a 
person listed on a license (i.e., name of exporter, reexporter, 
purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee or end user), 
provided the pertinent person has not undergone a change in ownership, 
including merger or acquisition, or any other change in legal status 
since the time the license was issued. In order to rely on this 
paragraph (c)(2), BIS must have approved the name change in response to 
an advisory opinion request submitted by the licensee pursuant to Sec.
748.3(c) of the EAR and the instructions below.
    (i) The advisory opinion request must be submitted on the licensee's 
company letterhead and include the following information:
    (A) The title of the advisory opinion, in this format: ``License 
name change notification and review request;''
    (B) All license numbers subject to the notification and review 
request (either in the letter or as a separate attachment);
    (C) The name(s) changing on the license(s) (include the original and 
new names), and when the name(s) are changing (either in the letter or 
as a separate attachment);
    (D) Any background information available on the reasons for the name 
change(s) (e.g., press releases from the person changing its name(s)); 
and
    (E) A statement regarding whether there has been a change in 
ownership, including a merger or acquisition, or any other change in 
legal status regarding the person(s) changing its name(s).
    (F) Confirmation that, if the request is approved, the licensee will 
share the advisory opinion response from BIS with all other persons 
listed on the license, and inform those persons that

[[Page 721]]

the advisory opinion response must be retained pursuant to the 
recordkeeping requirements in part 762 of the EAR.
    (ii) If BIS determines the name change is not a material change to 
the license and approves the request to change the name(s) on the 
license, BIS will send a written response to the licensee who submitted 
the notification. If BIS does not approve the request to change the 
name(s) on the license, BIS will send a written response to the licensee 
who submitted the notification.
    (iii) For guidance on using an export license with approved name 
changes, see Sec.758.4(d) (Exports against license with approved name 
change).
    (iv) If a license name change notification and review request is 
denied by BIS or the licensee determines that there has been a material 
change to the license, such as a change in ownership of a person on the 
license, including merger or acquisition, or any other change in legal 
status since the time the license was issued, a new license application 
should be submitted.
    (d) Responsibility of the licensee. The person to whom a license is 
issued is the licensee. In export transactions, the exporter must be the 
licensee, and the exporter-licensee is responsible for the proper use of 
the license, and for all terms and conditions of the license, except to 
the extent that certain terms and conditions are directed toward some 
other party to the transaction. In reexport or routed export 
transactions, a U.S. agent acting on behalf of a foreign principal party 
in interest may be the licensee; in these cases, both the agent and the 
foreign principal party in interest, on whose behalf the agent has 
acted, are responsible for the use of the license, and for all terms and 
conditions of the license, except to the extent that certain terms and 
conditions are directed toward some other party to the transaction. It 
is the licensee's responsibility to communicate in writing the specific 
license conditions to the parties to whom those conditions apply. In 
addition, when required by the license, the licensee is responsible for 
obtaining written acknowledgment(s) of receipt of the conditions from 
the party(ies) to whom those conditions apply.
    (e) Prohibited use of a license. No person convicted of a violation 
of any statute specified in section 11(h) of the EAA, at the discretion 
of the Secretary of Commerce, may apply for any license for a period up 
to 10 years from the date of the conviction. See Sec.766.25 of the 
EAR.
    (f) Quantity of commodities authorized. Unlike software and 
technology, commodities will be approved with a quantity and dollar 
value limit. Any license resulting from a license application to export 
or reexport commodities will be licensed in terms of the specified unit 
of quantity commonly used in trade. A total dollar value for the 
commodity will be authorized based on the per unit price of the 
commodity. Subject to the shipping tolerances authorized in Sec.750.11 
of this part, the authorization is limited by both the quantity and 
value listed on the license.
    (g) License validity period. Licenses involving the export or 
reexport of items will generally have a four-year validity period, 
unless a different validity period has been requested and specifically 
approved by BIS or is otherwise specified on the license at the time 
that it is issued. Exceptions from the four-year validity period include 
license applications for items controlled for short supply reasons, 
which will be limited to a 12-month validity period and license 
applications reviewed and approved as an ``emergency'' (see Sec.
748.4(h) of the EAR). Emergency licenses will expire no later than the 
last day of the calendar month following the month in which the 
emergency license is issued. The expiration date will be clearly stated 
on the face of the license. If the expiration date falls on a legal 
holiday (Federal or State), the validity period is automatically 
extended to midnight of the first business day following the expiration 
date.
    (1) Extended validity period. BIS will consider granting a validity 
period exceeding 4 years on a case-by-case basis when extenuating 
circumstances warrant such an extension. Requests for such extensions 
may be made at the time of application or after the license has been 
issued and it is still valid. BIS will not approve changes regarding 
other aspects of the license, such as the parties to the transaction and 
the

[[Page 722]]

countries of ultimate destination. An extended validity period will 
generally be granted where, for example, the transaction is related to a 
multi-year project; when the period corresponds to the duration of a 
manufacturing license agreement, technical assistance agreement, 
warehouse and distribution agreement, or license issued under the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations; when production lead time 
will not permit an export or reexport during the original validity 
period of the license; when an unforeseen emergency prevents shipment 
within the 4-year validity of the license; or for other similar 
circumstances.
    (2) Request for extension. (i) The applicant must submit a letter in 
writing to request an extension in the validity period of a previously 
approved license. The subject of the letter must be titled: ``Request 
for Validity Period Extension'' and contain the following information:
    (A) The name, address, and telephone number of the requestor;
    (B) A copy of the original license, with the license number, 
validation date, and current expiration date legible; and
    (C) Justification for the extension;
    (ii) It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all 
applicable support documents remain valid and are in the possession of 
the applicant. If the request for extension is approved, BIS will 
provide the applicant with a written response.
    (h) Specific types of licenses--(1) Licenses for temporary exports 
or reexports. If you have been granted a license for the temporary 
export or reexport of items and you decide not to return the items to 
the United States, you must submit a license application requesting 
authorization to dispose of the items. Except when the items are to be 
used on a temporary basis at a new destination (and returned to the 
United States after such use), you must ensure that your license 
application is accompanied by all documents that would be required if 
you had requested a license to export or reexport the same item directly 
to the new destination.
    (2) Intransit within the United States. If you have been issued a 
license authorizing an intransit shipment (that does not qualify for the 
intransit provisions of License Exception TMP) through the United 
States, your license will be valid only for the export of the intransit 
shipment wholly of foreign origin and for which a Transportation and 
Exportation customs entry or an Immediate Exportation customs entry is 
outstanding.
    (3) Intransit outside the United States. If you have been issued a 
license authorizing unlading or transit through a country listed in the 
General Prohibition Eight contained in Sec.736.2(b)(8) of the EAR, and 
you did not know the identity of the intermediate consignee at the time 
of the original license application, you must notify BIS in writing once 
you have ascertained the identity of the intermediate consignee. Your 
notification must contain the original license number, and the complete 
name, address, and telephone number of the intermediate consignee. The 
written request must be submitted to BIS at the address listed in Sec.
748.1(d)(2) of the EAR.
    (4) Replacement license. If you have been issued a ``replacement 
license'' (for changes to your original license not covered in paragraph 
(c) of this section), you must retain both the original and the 
replacement license.
    (i) Terminating license conditions. Exporters or reexporters who 
have shipped under licenses with conditions that would not apply to an 
export under a License Exception or if no license was required, and 
foreign consignees who have agreed to such conditions, are no longer 
bound by these conditions when the licensed items become eligible for a 
License Exception or can be exported or reexported without a license. 
Items that become eligible for a License Exception are subject to the 
terms and conditions of the applicable License Exception and to the 
restrictions in Sec.740.2 of the EAR. Items that become eligible for 
export without a license remain subject to the EAR and any export, 
reexport, or disposition of such items may only be made in accordance 
with the requirements of the EAR. Termination of license conditions

[[Page 723]]

does not relieve an exporter or reexporter of its responsibility for 
violations that occurred prior to the availability of a License 
Exception or prior to the removal of license requirements.
    (j) Records. If you have been issued a license you must retain the 
license, and maintain complete records in accordance with part 762 of 
the EAR including any licenses (whether used or unused, valid or 
expired) and all supporting documents and shipping records.

    Editorial Note: For Federal Register citations affecting Sec.
750.7, see the List of CFR Sections Affected, which appears in the 
Finding Aids section of the printed volume and at www.govinfo.gov.



Sec.750.8  Revocation or suspension of licenses.

    (a) Revocation. All licenses for exports or reexports are subject to 
revision, suspension, or revocation, in whole or in part, without 
notice. BIS's Office of Exporter Services may revoke any license in 
which a person who has been convicted of one of the statutes specified 
in section 11(h) of the EAA, at the discretion of the Secretary of 
Commerce, has an interest in the license at the time of the conviction. 
It may be necessary for BIS to stop a shipment or an export or reexport 
transaction at any stage in the process (e.g., in order to prevent an 
unauthorized export or reexport). If a shipment is already en route, it 
may be further necessary for BIS to order the return or unloading of 
such shipment at any port of call in accordance with the provisions of 
the EAA.
    (b) Return of revoked or suspended licenses. If BIS revokes or 
suspends a license, the licensee shall return the license immediately 
upon notification that the license has been suspended or revoked. The 
license must be returned to BIS at the address listed in Sec.
748.1(d)(2) of the EAR, Attn: ``Return of Revoked/Suspended License''. 
All applicable supporting documents and records of shipments must be 
retained by the licensee in accordance with the recordkeeping provisions 
of part 762 of the EAR. If the licensee fails to return a license 
immediately upon notification that it has been suspended or revoked, BIS 
may impose sanctions provided for in part 764 of the EAR.

[61 FR 12829, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 73 FR 49331, Aug. 21, 2008; 
76 FR 12280, Mar. 7, 2011]



Sec.750.9  Duplicate licenses.

    (a) Lost, stolen or destroyed. If a license is lost, stolen or 
destroyed, you, as the licensee, may obtain a duplicate of the license 
by submitting a letter to the BIS at the address listed in Sec.
748.1(d)(2) of the EAR, Attention: ``Duplicate License Request''. You 
must certify in your letter:
    (1) That the original license ([number] issued to [name and address 
of licensee]) has been lost, stolen or destroyed;
    (2) The circumstances under which it was lost, stolen or destroyed; 
and
    (3) If the original license is found, the licensee will return 
either the original or duplicate license to the BIS. Note that if 
shipment was made against the original license, those shipments must be 
counted against the duplicate license. If you are issued a duplicate 
license you must retain the duplicate license in accordance with the 
recordkeeping provisions of part 762 of the EAR.
    (b) Hong Kong Trade Department. BIS will automatically issue a 
duplicate license whenever the license lists a party in Hong Kong as the 
intermediate consignee, or when Hong Kong is identified as the country 
from which the reexport will take place. The duplicate license will be 
labeled ``Duplicate for Hong Kong Trade Department''. This duplicate 
must be forwarded to the reexporter or intermediate consignee for 
submission to the Hong Kong Trade Department. The original license must 
be retained on file by the licensee in accordance with the recordkeeping 
provisions contained in part 762 of the EAR.

[61 FR 12829, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 73 FR 49331, Aug. 21, 2008]



Sec.750.10  Transfers of licenses for exports.

    (a) Authorization. As the licensee, you may not transfer a license 
issued for the export of items from the United States to any other 
party, except with the prior written approval of BIS. BIS

[[Page 724]]

may authorize a transfer of a license for export to a transferee who is 
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, is a principal party 
in interest, and will assume all powers and responsibilities under the 
license for the control of the shipment of the items out of the United 
States. BIS will approve only one transfer of the same license and only 
transfers of licenses to export items.
    (b) How to request the transfer of licenses--(1) Letter from 
licensee. You, as the licensee, must submit a letter in writing to 
request a transfer of a license or licenses. The letter must contain the 
following information:
    (i) The reasons for the requested transfer;
    (ii) Either a list of the outstanding license numbers or a statement 
that all outstanding licenses in the name of the licensee are to be 
transferred, and the total number of such outstanding licenses;
    (iii) A list of all license applications for export to be 
transferred that are pending with BIS, identifying the Application 
Control Number for each, or other information that will assist in 
identifying the pending license applications;
    (iv) Name and address of the person you intend to transfer the 
licenses and license applications to;
    (v) The facts necessitating transfer;
    (vi) A statement as to whether or not any consideration has been, or 
will be, paid for the transfer; and
    (vii) Identification by name of the legal document (certificate, 
agreement, etc.) or other authority by which the new firm name is 
legally established, the new corporation or firm created, or the assets 
transferred and showing the effective date of such document and the 
state where filed or recorded.
    (2) Information from transferee. The person to whom you wish to 
transfer your license(s) must provide you a signed letter, that must be 
submitted with your request, containing the following:
    (i) That the transferee is a principal party in interest in the 
transaction covered by the license, or is acting as agent for a 
principal party in interest;
    (ii) That the transferee is subject to the jurisdiction of the 
United States;
    (iii) That the transferee assumes all powers and responsibilities 
under the license for the control of the shipment of the items out of 
the United States;
    (iv) Whether any consideration has been, has not been, or will be 
paid for the transfer;
    (v) The name and address of the foreign principal in instances where 
the transferee will make the export as an agent on behalf of a foreign 
principal; and
    (vi) If the license is to be transferred to a subsidiary or firm, or 
if you transfer to the transferee all, or a substantial portion, of your 
assets or business, the transferee must certify that the legal authority 
changing the exporter imposes on the transferee the responsibility to 
accept and fulfill the obligations of the transferor under the 
transactions covered by the license; and
    (vii) The following certification:

    The undersigned hereby certifies that, if license number(s) ______ 
is (are) transferred in accordance with my (our) request, any and all 
documents evidencing the order covered by this (these) license(s) will 
be retained and made available upon request in compliance with the 
recordkeeping provisions contained in Part 762 of the Export 
Administration Regulations. The undersigned further certifies compliance 
with all requirements of the Export Administration Regulations regarding 
these licenses.

    (c) Notification of transfer and recordkeeping. Unless instructed 
otherwise by BIS, you must retain the license(s) pending notification by 
BIS of the action taken. If the request is approved, you must forward 
the license(s) to the transferee and the validated letter received from 
BIS authorizing the transfer. If the transfer request is not approved, 
the license(s) must either be returned to BIS or used by you if you so 
choose and have retained the legal and operational capacity fully to 
meet the responsibilities imposed by the license(s). If your initial 
request is returned by BIS for additional information, after obtaining 
the necessary information you may resubmit your request.

Sec.750.11  Shipping tolerances.

    Under some circumstances, you may use a license issued for the 
export of items from the United States to export more than the value 
shown on that license. This additional amount is called a shipping 
tolerance. This section tells you, as the licensee, when you may take 
advantage of a shipping tolerance and the amount of shipping tolerance 
you are permitted to use.
    (a) If you have already shipped the full quantity of items approved 
on your license, you may not use this shipping tolerance provision. No 
further shipment may be made under the license.
    (b) If you have not shipped the full quantity of items approved on 
the license, the value of all of your shipments under one license, up to 
the full quantity approved on the license, may exceed the total dollar 
value stated on that license by up to 10%, unless;
    (1) Your license stipulates a specific shipping tolerance; or
    (2) Your item is controlled for short supply reasons and a different 
tolerance has been established. (See part 754 of the EAR).

Sec.754.1  Introduction.

    (a) Scope. In this part, references to the Export Administration 
Regulations (EAR) are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. 
This part implements the provisions of section 7, ``Short Supply 
Controls,'' of the Export Administration Act (EAA) and similar 
provisions in other laws that are not based on national security and 
foreign policy grounds.
    (b) Contents. Specifically, this part deals with the following:
    (1) It sets forth the license requirements and licensing policies 
for commodities that contain the symbol ``SS'' in the ``Reason for 
Control'' part of ``License Requirements'' section of the applicable 
Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) identified on the Commerce 
Control List (supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR). In appropriate 
cases, it also provides for License Exceptions from the short supply 
licensing requirements described in this part. The license requirements 
and policies that are described in this part cover the following:
    (i) [Reserved]
    (ii) Petroleum products other than crude oil listed in supplement 
no. 1 to this part, that were produced or derived from the Naval 
Petroleum Reserves (NPR) or became available for export as a result of 
an exchange of any NPR-produced or -derived commodities described by the 
following ECCNs. For specific licensing requirements for these items, 
see Sec.754.3 of this part.
    (A) ECCN 1C980 (Inorganic chemicals);
    (B) ECCN 1C982 (Other petroleum products);
    (C) ECCN 1C983 (Natural gas liquids and other natural gas 
derivatives); and
    (D) ECCN 1C984 (Manufactured gas and synthetic natural gas (except 
when commingled with natural gas and thus subject to export 
authorization from the Department of Energy).
    (iii) Unprocessed western red cedar described by ECCN 1C988 (Western 
red cedar (thuja plicata) logs and timber, and rough, dressed and worked 
lumber

[[Page 726]]

containing wane). For specific licensing requirements for these items, 
see Sec.754.4 of this part.
    (iv) Horses exported by sea for slaughter covered by ECCN 0A980 
(Horses for export by sea). For specific licensing requirements, see 
Sec.754.5 of this part.
    (2) It incorporates statutory provisions for the registration of 
U.S. agricultural commodities for exemption from short supply 
limitations on export (see Sec.754.6 of this part); and
    (3) It incorporates statutory provisions for the filing and review 
of petitions seeking the imposition of monitoring or controls on 
recyclable metallic materials and procedures for related public hearings 
(see Sec.754.7 of this part).
    (c) Reexports. Reexports of items controlled by this part require a 
license only if such a requirement is specifically set forth in this 
part or is set forth on the license authorizing the export from the 
United States.
    (d) Additional requirements for embargoed destinations. For exports 
involving embargoed destinations, you must satisfy the requirements of 
this part and also of part 746 of the EAR (Embargoes and Other Special 
Controls).

[61 FR 12844, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 79 FR 34410, June 17, 2014; 
81 FR 29486, May 12, 2016]



Sec.754.2  [Reserved]



Sec.754.3  Petroleum products not including crude oil.

    (a) License requirement. As indicated by the letters ``SS'' in the 
``Reason for Control'' paragraph in the ``License Requirements'' section 
of ECCNs 1C980, 1C982, 1C983, and 1C984 on the CCL (supplement no. 1 to 
part 774 of the EAR), a license is required to all destinations, 
including Canada, for the export of petroleum products, excluding crude 
oil, listed in supplement no. 1 to this part, that were produced or 
derived from the Naval Petroleum Reserves (NPR) or became available for 
export as a result of an exchange of any NPR produced or derived 
commodities.
    (b) License policy. (1) Applications for the export of petroleum 
products listed in supplement no. 1 to this part that were produced or 
derived from the Naval Petroleum Reserves, or that became available for 
export as a result of an exchange for a Naval Petroleum Reserves 
produced or derived commodity, other than crude oil, will be denied, 
unless the President makes a finding required by the Naval Petroleum 
Reserves Production Act (10 U.S.C. 7430).
    (2) Applications that involve temporary exports or exchanges 
excepted from that Act will be approved.



Sec.754.4  Unprocessed western red cedar.

    (a) License requirement. As indicated by the letters ``SS'' in the 
``Reason for Control'' paragraph in the ``License Requirements'' section 
of ECCN 1C988 on the CCL (supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR), a 
license is required to all destinations, including Canada, for the 
export of unprocessed western red cedar covered by ECCN 1C988 (Western 
red cedar (thuja plicata) logs and timber, and rough, dressed and worked 
lumber containing wane). For a non-exhaustive list of 10-digit 
Harmonized System-based Schedule B commodity numbers that may apply to 
unprocessed western red cedar products subject to the license 
requirements of this section, see supplement no. 2 to part 754 of the 
EAR. See paragraph (c) of this section for license exceptions for timber 
harvested from public lands in the State of Alaska, private lands, or 
Indian lands, and see paragraph (d) of this section for relevant 
definitions.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) BIS will generally deny applications for 
licenses to export unprocessed western red cedar harvested from Federal 
or State lands under harvest contracts entered into after September 30, 
1979.
    (2) BIS will consider, on a case-by-case basis, applications for 
licenses to export unprocessed western red cedar harvested from Federal 
or State lands under harvest contracts entered into prior to October 1, 
1979.
    (3) BIS will approve license applications for unprocessed western 
red cedar timber harvested from public lands in Alaska, private lands, 
and Indian lands. Applications must be submitted in accordance with the 
procedures set forth in paragraph (a) of this section. See paragraph (c) 
of this section for the availability of a License Exception.

[[Page 727]]

    (c) License Exception for western red cedar (WRC). (1) Subject to 
the requirements described in paragraph (c) of this section, License 
Exception WRC may be used to export without a license unprocessed 
western red cedar timber harvested from Federal, State and other public 
lands in Alaska, all private lands, and, lands held in trust for 
recognized Indian tribes by Federal or State agencies.
    (2) Exporters who use License Exception WRC must obtain and retain 
on file the following documents:
    (i) A statement by the exporter (or other appropriate documentation) 
indicating that the unprocessed western red cedar timber exported under 
this License Exception was not harvested from State or Federal lands 
outside the State of Alaska, and did not become available for export 
through substitution of commodities so harvested or produced. If the 
exporter did not harvest or produce the timber, the records or statement 
must identify the harvester or producer and must be accompanied by an 
identical statement from the harvester or producer. If any intermediate 
party or parties held title to the timber between harvesting and 
purchase, the exporter must also obtain such a statement, or equivalent 
documentation, from the intermediate party or parties and retain it on 
file.
    (ii) A certificate of inspection issued by a third party log scaling 
and grading organization, approved by the United States Forest Service, 
that:
    (A) Specifies the quantity in cubic meters or board feet, scribner 
rule, of unprocessed western red cedar timber to be exported; and
    (B) Lists each type of brand, tag, and/or paint marking that appears 
on any log or unprocessed lumber in the export shipment or, 
alternatively, on the logs from which the unprocessed timber was 
produced.
    (3) The requirements and restrictions described in Sec. Sec.740.1 
and 740.2 of the EAR that apply to all License Exceptions also apply to 
the use of License Exception WRC.
    (4) A person exporting any item pursuant to this license exception 
must enter on any required Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing to 
the Automated Export System (AES) the correct license code that 
corresponds to ``SS-WRC.''
    (d) License Applications. (1) Applicants requesting to export 
unprocessed western red cedar must apply for a license in accordance 
with Sec.748.1, 748.4 and 748.6 of the EAR, submit any other documents 
as may be required by BIS, and submit a statement from an authorized 
representative of the exporter, reading as follows:

    I, (Name) (Title) of (Exporter) HEREBY CERTIFY that to the best of 
my knowledge and belief the (Quantity) (cubic meters or board feed 
scribner) of unprocessed western red cedar timber that (Exporter) 
proposes to export was not harvested from State or Federal lands under 
contracts entered into after October 1, 1979.
________________________________________________________________________

Signature

________________________________________________________________________

Date

    (2) In Blocks 16 and 18 of the application, ``Various'' may be 
entered when there is more than one purchaser or ultimate consignee.
    (3) For each application submitted, and for each export shipment 
made under a license, the exporter must assemble and retain for the 
period described in part 762 of the EAR, and produce or make available 
for inspection, the following:
    (i) A signed statement(s) by the harvester or producer, and each 
subsequent party having held title to the commodities, that the 
commodities in question were harvested under a contract to harvest 
unprocessed western red cedar from State or Federal lands, entered into 
before October 1, 1979; and
    (ii) The Automated Export System record.
    (4) A shipping tolerance of 5 percent in cubic feet or board feet 
scribner is allowed on the un-shipped balance of a commodity listed on a 
license. This tolerance applies only to the final quantity remaining un-
shipped on a license against which more than one shipment is made and 
not to the original quantity authorized by such license. See Sec.
750.11 of the EAR for an explanation of shipping tolerances.
    (e) Definitions. When used in this section, the following terms have 
the meaning indicated:

[[Page 728]]

    (1) Unprocessed western red cedar means western red cedar (thuja 
plicata) timber, logs, cants, flitches, and processed lumber containing 
wane on one or more sides, as defined in ECCN 1C988, that has not been 
processed into:
    (i) Lumber of American Lumber Standards Grades of Number 3 dimension 
or better, or Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau Export R-List Grades of 
Number 3 common or better grades, with a maximum cross section of 2,000 
square centimeters (310 square inches) for any individual piece of 
processed western red cedar (WRC) being exported, regardless of grade;
    (ii) Chips, pulp, and pulp products;
    (iii) Veneer and plywood;
    (iv) Poles, posts, or pilings cut or treated with preservative for 
use as such and not intended to be further processed; and
    (v) Shakes and shingles.
    (2) Federal and State lands means Federal and State lands, excluding 
lands in the State of Alaska and lands held in trust by any Federal or 
State official or agency for a recognized Indian tribe or for any member

[85 FR 63012, Oct. 6, 2020]



Sec.756.2  Appeal from an administrative action.

    (a) Scope. Any person directly and adversely affected by an 
administrative action taken by BIS may appeal to the Under Secretary for 
reconsideration of that administrative action. The following types of 
administrative actions are not subject to the appeals procedures 
described in this part:
    (1) Issuance, amendment, revocation, or appeal of a regulation. 
(These requests may be submitted to BIS at any time.)
    (2) Denial or probation orders, civil penalties, sanctions, or other 
actions under parts 764 and 766 of the EAR, except that, any appeal from 
an action taken under Sec.766.25 and any appeal from an action taken 
in accordance with Sec.766.23 to make an action taken under Sec.
766.25 applicable to a related

[[Page 732]]

person shall be subject to the appeals procedures described in this 
part.
    (3) A decision on a request to remove or modify an Entity List entry 
made pursuant to Sec.744.16 of the EAR, a decision on a request to 
remove or modify an Unverified List entry made pursuant to Sec.744.15 
of the EAR, or a request to remove or modify a Military End User entry 
made pursuant to Sec.744.21(b) of the EAR.
    (4) A decision on whether License Exception Strategic Trade 
Authorization (STA) is available for ``600 series'' ``end items'' 
pursuant to Sec.740.20(g) of the EAR.
    (b) Review and appeal officials. The Under Secretary may delegate to 
the Deputy Under Secretary for Industry and Security or to another BIS 
official the authority to review and decide the appeal. In addition, the 
Under Secretary may designate any employee of the Department of Commerce 
to be an appeals coordinator to assist in the review and processing of 
an appeal under this part. If such employee is not an employee of BIS, 
such designation may be made only with the concurrence of the head of 
the operating unit in which that employee is employed. The 
responsibilities of an appeals coordinator may include presiding over 
informal hearings.
    (c) Appeal procedures--(1) Filing. An appeal under this part must be 
received by the Under Secretary for Industry and Security, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 3898, 14th

45 days after the date appearing on the written notice of administrative 
action.
    (2) Content of appeal. The appeal must include a full written 
statement in support of appellant's position. The appeal must include a 
precise statement of why the appellant believes the administrative 
action has a direct and adverse effect and should be reversed or 
modified. The Under Secretary may request additional information that 
would be helpful in resolving the appeal, and may accept additional 
submissions. The Under Secretary will not ordinarily accept any 
submission filed more than 30 days after the filing of the appeal or of 
any requested submission.
    (3) Request for informal hearing. In addition to the written 
statement submitted in support of an appeal, an appellant may request, 
in writing, at the time an appeal is filed, an opportunity for an 
informal hearing. The Under Secretary may grant or deny a request for an 
informal hearing. Any hearings will be held in the District of Columbia 
unless the Under Secretary determines, based upon good cause shown, that 
another location would be better.
    (4) Informal hearing procedures--(i) Presentations. The Under 
Secretary shall provide an opportunity for the appellant to make an oral 
presentation based on the materials previously submitted by the 
appellant or made available by the Department in connection with the 
administrative action. The Under Secretary may require that any facts in 
controversy be covered by an affidavit or testimony given under oath or 
affirmation.
    (ii) Evidence. The rules of evidence prevailing in courts of law do 
not apply, and all evidentiary material deemed by the Under Secretary to 
be relevant and material to the proceeding, and not unduly repetitious, 
will be received and considered.
    (iii) Procedural questions. The Under Secretary has the authority to 
limit the number of people attending the hearing, to impose any time or 
other limitations deemed reasonable, and to determine all procedural 
questions.
    (iv) Transcript. A transcript of an informal hearing shall not be 
made, unless the Under Secretary determines that the national interest 
or other good cause warrants it, or the appellant requests a transcript. 
If the appellant requests a transcript, the appellant will be 
responsible for paying all expenses related to production of the 
transcript.
    (v) Report. Any person designated by the Under Secretary to conduct 
an informal hearing shall submit a written report containing a summary 
of the hearing and recommend action to the Under Secretary.
    (d) Decisions--(1) Determination of appeals. In addition to the 
documents specifically submitted in connection with the appeal, the 
Under Secretary shall

[[Page 733]]

consider any recommendations, reports, or relevant documents available 
to BIS in determining the appeal, but shall not be bound by any such 
recommendation, nor prevented from considering any other information, or 
consulting with any other person or groups, in making a determination. 
The Under Secretary may adopt any other procedures deemed necessary and 
reasonable for considering an appeal. The Under Secretary shall decide 
an appeal within a reasonable time after receipt of the appeal. The 
decision shall be issued to the appellant in writing and contain a 
statement of the reasons for the action.
    (2) Effect of the determination. The decision of the Under Secretary 
shall be final.
    (e) Effect of appeal. Acceptance and consideration of an appeal 
shall not affect any administrative action, pending or in effect, unless 
the Under Secretary, upon request by the appellant and with opportunity 
for response, grants a stay.

Sec.756.3  Judicial review of agency action.

    (a) Definition. For purposes of this section, the term agency action 
has the same meaning given such term in 5 U.S.C. 551(13), i.e., includes 
the whole or a part of an agency rule, order, license, sanction, relief, 
or the equivalent or denial thereof, or failure to act.
    (b) Classified national security information. In any judicial review 
of any agency action under the EAR, if such action was based in whole or 
in part on classified national security information as defined in 
Executive Order 13526 (December 29, 2009), such information may be 
submitted to the reviewing court ex parte and in camera. This paragraph 
(b) does not confer or imply any right to review in any tribunal, 
judicial or otherwise.

Sec.758.1  The Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing to the
Automated Export System (AES).

    (a) The Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing to the Automated 
Export System (AES). The EEI is used by the Bureau of Census to collect 
trade statistics and by the Bureau of Industry and Security for export 
control purposes. The EEI collects basic information such as the names 
and addresses of the parties to a transaction; the Export Control 
Classification Number (ECCN) (when required), the Schedule B number or 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) number, the 
description, quantity and value of the items exported; and the license 
authority for the export. The EEI is a statement to the United States 
Government that the transaction occurred as described.
    (b) When is an EEI filing required to be filed in the AES. Except 
when the export of items subject to the EAR is to take place 
electronically or in an otherwise intangible form, you must file EEI in 
the AES with the United States Government for items subject to the

[[Page 734]]

EAR, including exports by U.S. mail, in the following situations:
    (1) For all exports of items subject to the EAR that are destined to 
a country in Country Group E:1 or E:2 of supplement no. 1 to part 740 of 
the EAR regardless of value;
    (2) For all exports subject to the EAR that require submission of a 
license application, regardless of value or destination;
    (3) For all exports of 9x515 or ``600 series'' items enumerated or 
otherwise described in paragraphs .a through .x of a 9x515 or ``600 
series'' ECCN regardless of value or destination, including exports to 
Canada;
    (4) For all exports under license exception Strategic Trade 
Authorization (STA);
    (5) For all exports of commodities and mass market software subject 
to the EAR when the value of the commodities or mass market software 
classified under a single Schedule B Number (or HTS) is over $2,500, 
except as exempted by the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) in 15 CFR Part 
30 and referenced in paragraph (c) of this section;
    (6) For all exports of items subject to the EAR that will be 
transshipped through Canada to a third destination, where the export 
would require EEI or license if shipped directly to the final 
destination from the United States (see 15 CFR 30.36(b)(2) of the FTR);
    (7) For all items exported under authorization Validated End-User 
(VEU);
    (8) For all exports of tangible items subject to the EAR where 
parties to the transaction, as described in Sec.748.5(d) through (f) 
of the EAR, are listed on the Unverified List (supplement no. 6 to part 
744 of the EAR), regardless of value or destination; or
    (9) For all exports, except for exports authorized under License 
Exception BAG, as set forth in Sec.740.14 of the EAR, of items 
controlled under ECCNs 0A501.a or .b, shotguns with a barrel length less 
than 18 inches controlled under ECCN 0A502, or ammunition controlled 
under ECCN 0A505 except for .c, regardless of value or destination, 
including exports to Canada.
    (10) For all exports of items on the Commerce Control List to the 
People's Republic of China, Russia, or Venezuela, regardless of value, 
unless the export may be made under the exemption listed under paragraph 
(c)(4) of this section.

    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(10): Paragraph (b)(10) applies to exports to 
Hong Kong, as this destination is considered a part of the People's 
Republic of China under the EAR, even if the AES requirements state that 
the destination filed in EEI is to be listed as Hong Kong.

    (c) Exemptions. A complete list of exemptions from the EEI filing 
requirement is set forth in the 15 CFR 30.35 through 30.40 of the FTR. 
Some of these FTR exemptions have elements in common with certain EAR 
license exceptions. An FTR exemption may be narrower than an EAR license 
exception. The following references are provided in order to direct you 
to the FTR exemptions that relate to EAR license exceptions:
    (1) License Exception Baggage (BAG), as set forth in Sec.740.14 of 
the EAR. See 15 CFR 30.37(x) of the FTR;

    Note 1 to paragraph (c)(1): See the export clearance requirements 
for exports of firearms controlled under ECCNs 0A501.a or .b, shotguns 
with a barrel length less than 18 inches controlled under ECCN 0A502, or 
ammunition controlled under ECCN 0A505, authorized under License 
Exception BAG, as set forth in Sec.740.14 of the EAR.

    (2) License Exception Gift Parcels and Humanitarian Donations (GFT), 
as set forth in Sec.740.12 of the EAR. See 15 CFR 30.37(h) of the FTR;
    (3) License Exception Aircraft and Vessels (AVS), as set forth in 
Sec.740.15 of the EAR. See 15 CFR 30.37(o) (5) of the FTR;
    (4) License Exception Governments and International Organizations 
(GOV), as set forth in Sec.740.11 of the EAR. See 15 CFR 30.39 and 
30.40 of the FTR;
    (5) License Exception Technology and Software Under Restriction 
(TSR), as set forth in Sec.740.6 of the EAR. See 15 CFR 30.37(f) of 
the FTR; or
    (6) License Exception Temporary Imports, Exports, and Reexports 
(TMP) ``tools of trade'', as set forth in Sec.740.9(a)(1) of the EAR. 
See 15 CFR 30.37(b) of the FTR.
    (d) Notation on export documents for exports exempt from EEI filing 
requirements. When an exemption from filing the EEI applies, the export 
authority (license exception or NLR) of all the

[[Page 735]]

items must be entered on the loading document (e.g., Cargo Declaration, 
manifest, bill of lading, (master) air waybill) by the person 
responsible for preparing the document, see 15 CFR 30.35 of the FTR. 
This requirement is intended to parallel the Bureau of Census 
requirement, so that notations as to the basis for the EEI exemption and 
the license authority are entered in the same place and manner (see 15 
CFR 30.45(e) and (f) of the FTR for detailed requirements). The loading 
document must be available for inspection by government officials, along 
with the items, prior to lading on the carrier.
    (e) Filing the Electronic Export Information (EEI) to the AES. The 
person who files the EEI to the AES must be in the United States at the 
time of filing. The person who transmits the EEI to the AES must be a 
certified AES participant in accordance with 15 CFR 30.5 of the FTR. The 
person who transmits EEI to the AES, whether exporter (U.S. principal 
party in interest) or agent, is responsible for the truth, accuracy, and 
completeness of the EEI, except insofar as that person can demonstrate 
that he or she reasonably relied on information furnished by others.
    (f) The EEI is an export control document. The EEI is a statement to 
the United States Government. The EEI is an export control document as 
defined in Part 772 of the EAR. False statements made thereon may be a 
violation of Sec.764.2(g) of the EAR. When EEI is filed to the AES, 
the filer of the EEI represents the following:
    (1) Export of the items described on the EEI filing is authorized 
under the terms and conditions of a license issued by BIS; is in 
accordance with the terms and conditions of a license exception; is 
authorized under ``NLR'' as no license is required for the shipment; or 
is not subject to the EAR;
    (2) Statements on the EEI filing are in conformity with the contents 
of any license issued by BIS, with the possible exception of the USPPI 
and USPPI identification blocks in routed transactions or any name 
change approved by BIS in writing in accordance with Sec.750.7(c)(2) 
of the EAR; and
    (3) All information shown on the EEI filing is true, accurate, and 
complete.
    (g) Export control information on the EEI filing in AES. For each 
item on the EEI filing, you must report the license authority (license 
number, License Exception symbol, or No License Required (NLR) 
designator), the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) (when 
required), and the item description in the designated blocks. The item 
description must be stated in Commerce Control List (CCL) terms. If 
those terms are inadequate to meet the Bureau of Census requirements, 
the FTR requires that you give enough additional detail to permit 
verification of the Schedule B Number (or Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 
the United States (HTS) number). See 15 CFR part 30, appendix B, part 
III of the FTR for license codes.
    (1) Exports under a license. When exporting under the authority of a 
license, you must report on the EEI filing to the AES the license code 
that corresponds to the license, license number, the ECCN, and an item 
description identical to the item description on the license.
    (2) Exports under a license exception. You must report on any 
required EEI filing to the AES the ECCN and the correct License 
Exception symbol (e.g., LVS, GBS, CIV) for the License Exception(s) and 
the license code/license exception code that corresponds to the license 
exception under which you are exporting. Items temporarily in the United 
States meeting the provisions of License Exception TMP, under Sec.
740.9(b)(3), are exempted from entering the ECCN. See also Sec.
740.1(d) of the EAR.
    (3) No License Required (NLR) exports. You must report on any 
required EEI filing to the AES the correct license code/license 
exception code when using the ``NLR'' designation for the items that are 
subject to the EAR but not listed on the Commerce Control List (CCL) 
(i.e., items are designated as EAR99) (FTR license code ``C33''), and 
when the items to be exported are listed on the CCL but are not subject 
to a license requirement. In addition, you must enter the correct ECCN 
on any required EEI filing for all items being exported under the NLR 
provisions that have a reason for control other than or in addition to 
anti-terrorism

[[Page 736]]

(AT), unless the items are destined to China, Russia, or Venezuela. For 
items destined to China, Russia, or Venezuela, you must enter the 
correct ECCN on any required EEI filing regardless of reason for 
control.
    (4) Exports of firearms and related items. This paragraph (g)(4) 
includes two separate requirements under paragraphs (g)(4)(i) and (ii) 
of this section that are used to better identify exports of certain end 
item firearms under the EAR. Paragraph (g)(4)(i) of this section is 
limited to certain EAR authorizations. Paragraph (g)(4)(ii) of this 
section applies to all EAR authorizations that require EEI filing in 
AES.
    (i) Identifying end item firearms by manufacturer, model, caliber, 
and serial number in the EEI filing in AES. For any export authorized 
under License Exception TMP or a BIS license authorizing a temporary 
export of items controlled under ECCNs 0A501.a or .b, or shotguns with a 
barrel length less than 18 inches controlled under ECCN 0A502, in 
addition to any other required data for the associated EEI filing, you 
must report the manufacturer, model, caliber, and serial number of the 
exported items. The requirements of this paragraph (g)(4)(i) also apply 
to any other export authorized under a BIS license that includes a 
condition or proviso on the license requiring the submission of this 
information specified in paragraph (g) of this section when the EEI is 
filed in AES.
    (ii) Identifying end item firearms by ``items'' level classification 
or other control descriptor in the EEI filing in AES. For any export of 
items controlled under ECCNs 0A501.a or .b, or shotguns with a barrel 
length less than 18 inches controlled under ECCN 0A502, in addition to 
any other required data for the associated EEI filing, you must include 
the six character ECCN classification (i.e., 0A501.a, or 0A501.b), or 
for shotguns controlled under 0A502 the phrase ``0A501 barrel length 
less than 18 inches'' as the first text to appear in the Commodity 
description block in the EEI filing in AES. (See Sec.743.4(h) of the 
EAR for the use of this information for conventional arms reporting).

    Note 2 to paragraph (g)(4): If a commodity described in paragraph 
(g)(4) of this section is exported under License Exception TMP under 
Sec.740.9(a)(6) of the EAR for inspection, test, calibration, or 
repair is not consumed or destroyed in the normal course of authorized 
temporary use abroad, the commodity must be disposed of or retained in 
one of the ways specified in Sec.740.9(a)(14)(i), (ii), or (iii) of 
the EAR. For example, if a commodity described in paragraph (g)(4) was 
destroyed while being repaired after being exported under Sec.
740.9(a)(6), the commodity described in paragraph (g)(4) would not be 
required to be returned. If the entity doing the repair returned a 
replacement of the commodity to the exporter from the United States, the 
import would not require an EAR authorization. The entity that exported 
the commodity described in paragraph (g)(4) and the entity that received 
the commodity would need to document this as part of their recordkeeping 
related to this export and subsequent import to the United States.

    (h) Power of attorney or other written authorization. In a ``power 
of attorney'' or other written authorization, authority is conferred 
upon an agent to perform certain specified acts or kinds of acts on 
behalf of a principal.
    (1) An agent must obtain a power of attorney or other written 
authorization in the following circumstances:
    (i) An agent that represents a foreign principal party in interest 
in a routed transaction must obtain a power of attorney or other written 
authorization that sets forth his authority; and
    (ii) An agent that applies for a license on behalf of a principal 
party in interest must obtain a power of attorney or other written 
authorization that sets forth the agent's authority to apply for the 
license on behalf of the principal.

    Note 3 to paragraph (h)(1): The Bureau of Census Foreign Trade 
Regulations impose additional requirements for a power of attorney or 
other written authorization. See 15 CFR 30.3(f) of the FTR.

    (2) This requirement for a power of attorney or other written 
authorization is a legal requirement aimed at ensuring that the parties 
to a transaction negotiate and understand their responsibilities. The 
absence of a power of attorney or other written authorization does not 
prevent BIS from using other evidence to establish the existence of an 
agency relationship for purposes of imposing liability.
    (i) Filing the Electronic Export Information (EEI). The EEI must be 
filed with the United States Government in

[[Page 737]]

the manner prescribed by the Bureau of Census Foreign Trade Regulations 
(15 CFR part 30).

Sec.758.2  Automated Export System (AES).

    The Bureau of the Census' Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) (15 CFR 
Part 30) contain provisions for filing Electronic Export Information 
(EEI) using the Automated Export System (AES). In order to use AES, you 
must apply directly to the Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) for 
certification and approval (see 15 CFR 30.5(a) of the FTR). Two 
electronic filing options (predeparture and postdeparture) are available 
for transmitting EEI. Predeparture filing requires that all information 
be reported in AES prior to export (15 CFR 30.4(a) and (b) of the FTR). 
Postdeparture filing is available only for approved companies (approved 
by the Census Bureau, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and BIS) and 
requires no information to be transmitted prior to export with complete 
information reported postdeparture no later than five (5) calendar days 
after the date of exportation (15 CFR 30.4(c) of the FTR).
    (a) Census Bureau's postdeparture application process. Exporters, or 
agents applying on behalf of an exporter, may apply for postdeparture 
privileges by submitting a Letter of Intent to the Bureau of Census 
(Census Bureau) Census Bureau in accordance with 15 CFR 30.5(a) of the 
FTR. The Census Bureau will distribute the Letter of Intent to BIS and 
other agencies participating in the postdeparture approval process. Any 
agency may notify the Census Bureau that an applicant has failed to meet 
its acceptance standards, and the Census Bureau will provide a denial 
letter to the applicant naming the denying agency. If the Census Bureau 
receives neither notification of denial, nor a request for an extension 
from the agency within 30 days of the date of referral of the letter of 
intent to the agency, the applicant is deemed to be approved by that 
agency. (15 CFR 30.5(c) of the FTR).

Sec.758.3  Responsibilities of parties to the transaction.

    All parties that participate in transactions subject to the EAR must 
comply with the EAR. Parties are free to structure transactions as they 
wish, and to delegate functions and tasks as they deem necessary, as 
long as the transaction complies with the EAR. However, acting through a 
forwarding or other agent, or delegating or redelegating authority, does 
not in and of itself relieve anyone of responsibility for compliance 
with the EAR.

[[Page 738]]

    (a) Export transactions. The U.S. principal party in interest is the 
exporter, except in certain routed transactions. The exporter must 
determine licensing authority (License, License Exception, or NLR), and 
obtain the appropriate license or other authorization. The exporter may 
hire forwarding or other agents to perform various tasks, but doing so 
does not necessarily relieve the exporter of compliance 
responsibilities.
    (b) Routed export transactions. All provisions of the EAR, including 
the end-use and end-user controls found in part 744 of the EAR, and the 
General Prohibitions found in part 736 of the EAR, apply to routed 
export transactions. The U.S. principal party in interest is the 
exporter and must determine licensing authority (License, License 
Exception, or NLR), and obtain the appropriate license or other 
authorization, unless the U.S. principal party in interest obtains from 
the foreign principal party in interest a writing wherein the foreign 
principal party in interest expressly assumes responsibility for 
determining licensing requirements and obtaining license authority, 
making the U.S. agent of the foreign principal party in interest the 
exporter for EAR purposes. One writing may cover multiple transactions 
between the same principals. See Sec.748.4(a)(3) of the EAR.
    (c) Information sharing requirements. In routed export transactions 
where the foreign principal party in interest assumes responsibility for 
determining and obtaining licensing authority, the U.S. principal party 
in interest must, upon request, provide the foreign principal party in 
interest and its forwarding or other agent with the correct Export 
Control Classification Number (ECCN), or with sufficient technical 
information to determine classification. In addition, the U.S. principal 
party in interest must provide the foreign principal party in interest 
or the foreign principal's agent any information that it knows will 
affect the determination of license authority, see Sec.758.1(g) of the 
EAR.
    (d) Power of attorney or other written authorization. In routed 
export transactions, a forwarding or other agent that represents the 
foreign principal party in interest, or who applies for a license on 
behalf of the foreign principal party in interest, must obtain a power 
of attorney or other written authorization from the foreign principal 
party in interest to act on its behalf. See Sec.748.4(b)(2) and Sec.
758.1(h) of the EAR.

[65 FR 42572, July 10, 2000, as amended at 79 FR 4619, Jan. 29, 2014]



Sec.758.4  Use of export license.

    (a) License valid for shipment from any port. An export license 
issued by BIS authorizes exports from any port of export in the United 
States unless the license states otherwise. Items that leave the United 
States at one port, cross adjacent foreign territory, and reenter the 
United States at another port before being exported to a foreign 
country, are treated as exports from the last U.S. port of export.
    (b) Shipments against expiring license. Any item requiring a license 
that has not departed from the final U.S. port of export by midnight of 
the expiration date on an export license may not be exported under that 
license unless the shipment meets the requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) 
or (2) of this section.
    (1) BIS grants an extension; or
    (2) Prior to midnight on the date of expiration on the license, the 
items:
    (i) Were laden aboard the vessel;
    (ii) Were located on a pier ready for loading and not for storage, 
and were booked for a vessel that was at the pier ready for loading; or
    (iii) The vessel was expected to be at the pier for loading before 
the license expired, but exceptional and unforseen circumstances delayed 
it, and BIS or the U.S. Customs Service makes a judgment that undue 
hardship would result if a license extension were required.
    (c) Reshipment of undelivered items. If the consignee does not 
receive an export made under a license because the carrier failed to 
deliver it, the exporter may reship the same or an identical item, 
subject to the same limitations as to quantity and value as described on 
the license, to the same consignee and destination under the same 
license. If an item is to be reshipped to any person other than the 
original consignee, the shipment is considered a new export and requires 
a new license. Before

[[Page 739]]

reshipping, satisfactory evidence of the original export and of the 
delivery failure, together with a satisfactory explanation of the 
delivery failure, must be submitted by the exporter to the following 
address: Operations Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, Room 2099B, 14th Street & Pennsylvania Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20230.
    (d) Exports against license with approved name changes. If you are 
exporting against a license with approved name changes under Sec.
750.7(c)(2) of the EAR, prior to using that export license you are 
required to include in the respective name field in AES (e.g., in the 
USPPI name field in AES), the new name followed by the original name in 
this format ``[new name] f.k.a. [original name].'' This reporting 
requirement would be completed by the authorized filer of the electronic 
export information (EEI) in AES. Although not required, the exporter may 
include a copy of the BIS written response approving the non-material 
name changes in accordance with Sec.750.7(c)(2) of the EAR. If the 
items have already been exported against the license by the time the 
name changes are approved, you are not required to report this 
additional information in AES, but you still must follow the 
recordkeeping requirements in part 762 of the EAR.

79 FR 32626, June 5, 2014]



Sec.758.5  Conformity of documents and unloading of items.

    (a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to prevent items 
licensed for export from being diverted while in transit or thereafter. 
It also sets forth the duties of the parties when the items are unloaded 
in a country other than that of the ultimate consignee or end user as 
stated on the export license.
    (b) Conformity of documents. When a license is issued by BIS, the 
information entered on related export control documents (e.g., 
Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing, bill of lading or air 
waybill) must be consistent with the license.
    (c) Issuance of the bill of lading or air waybill--(1) Ports in the 
country of the ultimate consignee or end user. No person may issue a 
bill of lading or air waybill that provides for delivery of licensed 
items to any foreign port located outside the country of an intermediate 
consignee, ultimate consignee, or end user named on the BIS license and 
in the EEI filing.
    (2) Optional ports of unloading--(i) Licensed items. No person may 
issue a bill of lading or air waybill that provides for delivery of 
licensed items to optional ports of unloading unless all the optional 
ports are within the country of ultimate destination or are included on 
the BIS license and in the EEI filing.
    (ii) Unlicensed items. For shipments of items that do not require a 
license, the exporter may designate optional ports of unloading in EEI 
filing and on other export control documents, so long as the optional 
ports are in countries to which the items could also have been exported 
without a license.
    (d) Delivery of items. No person may deliver items to any country 
other than the country of an intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, 
or end user named on the BIS license and EEI filing without prior 
written authorization from BIS, except for reasons beyond the control of 
the carrier (such as acts of God, perils of the sea, damage to the 
carrier, strikes, war, political disturbances or insurrection).
    (e) Procedures for unscheduled unloading--(1) Unloading in country 
where no license is required. When items are unloaded in a country to 
which the items could be exported without a license issued by BIS, no 
notification to BIS is required. However, any persons disposing of the 
items must continue to comply with the terms and conditions of any 
License Exception, and with any other relevant provisions of the EAR.
    (2) Unloading in a country where a license is required. (i) When 
items are unloaded in a country to which the items would require a BIS 
license, no person may effect delivery or entry of the items into the 
commerce of the country where unloaded without prior written approval 
from BIS. The carrier, in ensuring that the items do not enter the 
commerce of the country, may have to place the items in custody, or

[[Page 740]]

under bond or other guaranty. In addition, the carrier must inform the 
exporter and BIS of the unscheduled unloading in a time frame that will 
enable the exporter to submit its report within 10 days from the date of 
unscheduled unloading. The exporter must within 10 days of the 
unscheduled unloading report the facts to and request authorization for 
disposition from BIS using either: mail, fax, or E-mail. The report to 
BIS must include:
    (A) A copy of the manifest of the diverted cargo;
    (B) Identification of the place of unloading;
    (C) Statement that explains why the unloading was necessary; and
    (D) A proposal for disposition of the items and a request for 
authorization for such disposition from BIS.
    (ii) Contact information. U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, Office of Exporter Services, Room 2099B, 14th and 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; phone number 202-482-
0436; facsimile number 202-482-3322; and E-Mail address: 
[email protected].

29, 2014]



Sec.758.6  Destination control statement and other information 
furnished to consignees.

    (a) The exporter must incorporate the following information as an 
integral part of the commercial invoice whenever items on the Commerce 
Control List are shipped (i.e., exported in tangible form), unless the 
shipment (i.e., the tangible export) may be made under License Exception 
BAG or GFT (see part 740 of the EAR) or the item is designated as EAR99:
    (1) The following statement: ``These items are controlled by the 
U.S. Government and authorized for export only to the country of 
ultimate destination for use by the ultimate consignee or end-user(s) 
herein identified. They may not be resold, transferred, or otherwise 
disposed of, to any other country or to any person other than the 
authorized ultimate consignee or end-user(s), either in their original 
form or after being incorporated into other items, without first 
obtaining approval from the U.S. government or as otherwise authorized 
by U.S. law and regulations'' and
    (2) The ECCN(s) for any 9x515 or ``600 series'' ``items'' being 
shipped (i.e., exported in tangible form).

    Note 1 to paragraph (a): In paragraph (a)(1), the term 'authorized' 
includes exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) designated under 
No License Required (NLR).
    Note 2 to paragraph (a): The phrase 'country of ultimate 
destination' means the country specified on the commercial invoice where 
the ultimate consignee or end user will receive the items as an 
``export.''
    Note 3 to paragraph (a): The phrase 'or as otherwise authorized by 
U.S. law and regulations' is included because the EAR contain specific 
exemptions from licensing (e.g., EAR license exceptions and NLR 
designations) and do not control the reexport of foreign-made items 
containing less than a de minimis amount of controlled content. See 
Sec.734.4 and supplement no. 2 to part 748.

    (b) [Reserved]

[81 FR 54731, Aug. 17, 2016]



Sec.758.7  Authorities of the Bureau of Industry and Security, Office
of Export Enforcement (OEE).

    (a) Actions to assure compliance with export laws and regulations. 
OEE officials and any other officials of the United States designated by 
OEE are authorized and directed to take appropriate action to enforce 
the authorities granted to the Secretary under the laws and regulations 
of the United States, including ECRA, 13 U.S.C. 305, 22 U.S.C. 401, 50 
U.S.C. 1701 et seq., the EAR, and the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) 
(15 CFR part 30). This includes, but is not limited to, assuring that:
    (1) Exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) without a license 
issued by BIS are either outside the scope of the license requirements 
of the EAR or authorized by a license exception and comply with the 
terms of the license exception;
    (2) Exports, reexports, transfers (in-country) purporting to be 
authorized by licenses issued by BIS are, in fact, so authorized and the 
transaction complies with the terms of the license;
    (3) Accurate EEI filings have been made for exports as required by 
this

[[Page 741]]

part, the FTR, and other federal regulations; and
    (4) The activities of U.S. persons, wherever located, which are 
subject to a license requirement pursuant to Sec.744.6 of the EAR, are 
authorized by and comply with the terms of a BIS license.
    (b) Types of actions. In carrying out the authorities granted to, 
and exercised by, the Secretary pursuant to ECRA, 13 U.S.C. 305, 22 
U.S.C. 401, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq., the EAR, the FTR, and other 
applicable laws and regulations of the United States, including the 
authority to control the export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) of 
items, in any form, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, 
whether by U.S. or foreign persons; control the activities of U.S. 
persons, wherever located, as described in Sec.744.6 of the EAR; 
ensure compliance with export controls; monitor shipments and other 
means of transfer; conduct investigations; and issue orders, OEE 
officials and any other officials of the United States designated by OEE 
are authorized to take the types of enforcement actions described below.
    (1) Inspection, search, and detention of items--(i) Purpose of 
inspection, search, and detention. All items subject to export laws and 
regulations administered or enforced by the Secretary that have been, 
are being, or are about to be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-
country) are subject to inspection, search, and detention. The scope of 
inspection may include, but is not limited to, item identification; 
technical appraisal (analysis) or both; verifying the accuracy of the 
EEI filing, or if there is no EEI filing, the air waybill, bill of 
lading or other loading document covering the item about to be exported, 
reexported, or transferred (in-country); and verifying the value and 
quantity of such item.
    (ii) Place of inspection, search, and detention. Inspection, search, 
and detention may take place at any location inside or outside of the 
United States, to include, but not limited to, the borders of the United 
States, all ports of exit, the premises of freight forwarders, bonded 
warehouses, foreign trade zones, and manufacturing, transportation, and 
storage facilities.
    (iii) Technical identification. Where, in the judgment of the 
official making the inspection, the item cannot be properly identified, 
a sample may be taken for more detailed examination or for laboratory 
analysis.
    (A) Obtaining samples. The sample will be obtained by the official 
making the inspection in accordance with the provisions for sampling 
imported merchandise. The size of the sample will be the minimum 
representative amount necessary for identification or analysis. This 
will depend on such factors as the physical condition of the material 
(whether solid, liquid, or gas) and the size and shape of the container.
    (B) Notification. When a sample is taken, the exporter, reexporter, 
or transferor, or their agent(s), and the ultimate consignee will be 
notified by letter from an OEE official, documenting the port of export, 
reexport, or other place of inspection, date of sampling, BIS license 
number (if any) or other authorization, invoice number, quantity of 
sample taken, description of item, marks and packing case numbers, and 
manufacturer's number for the item. A copy of the letter will be placed 
in the container that had been opened by the inspecting official, and a 
copy will be retained by the inspecting official's office.
    (C) Disposal of samples. Samples will be disposed of in accordance 
with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection procedure for imported 
commodities.
    (2) Inspection and production of books, records, and other 
information. OEE officials are authorized to require any person subject 
to export laws and regulations administered or enforced by the 
Secretary, including, but not limited to, exporters, reexporters, 
transferors, or their agent(s), and owners and operators of carriers or 
their agents, as well as intermediate consignees, ultimate consignees, 
and end users, and their agent(s) to produce for inspection and copying 
any books, records and other information, including, but not limited to, 
invoices, orders, letters of credit, inspection reports, technical 
documentation, packing lists, shipping documents and instructions, and 
correspondence.
    (3) Questioning of individuals. OEE officials are authorized to 
question any

[[Page 742]]

person, including, but not limited to, the owner or operator of a 
carrier and the carrier's agent(s), as well as the exporter, reexporter, 
transferor (in-country), or their agent(s).
    (4) Prohibiting lading. OEE officials may prevent the lading of 
items on a conveyance.
    (5) Inspection, search, and detention of conveyance. OEE officials 
are authorized to inspect, search, and detain any conveyance at any time 
to determine whether items have been, are being, or are about to be 
exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country). Inspection, search, 
and detention of a conveyance may take place at any location inside or 
outside of the United States, to include, but not limited to, the 
borders of the United States, all ports of exit, the premises of freight 
forwarders, bonded warehouses, foreign trade zones, and manufacturing, 
transportation, and storage facilities.
    (6) Seizure of property. OEE officials are authorized to seize any 
property, tangible or intangible, when there is probable cause to 
believe that such property is subject to administrative forfeiture 
(nonjudicial civil forfeiture or summary forfeiture), civil judicial 
forfeiture, or criminal forfeiture. Seizures of property subject to 
forfeiture may take place at any location inside or outside of the 
United States, to include, but not limited to, the borders of the United 
States, all ports of exit, the premises of freight forwarders, bonded 
warehouses, foreign trade zones, and manufacturing, transportation, and 
storage facilities.
    (7) Administrative forfeiture authority. OEE is authorized to 
initiate administrative forfeiture (nonjudicial civil forfeiture or 
summary forfeiture) proceedings and forfeit property in accordance with 
the procedures set forth in 18 U.S.C. 981(d) and the Customs laws (19 
U.S.C. 1602 et seq).
    (8) Enforcement activity. (i) All BIS actions taken to implement, 
administer, and enforce the authorities granted to the Secretary shall 
be conducted pursuant to the U.S. Constitution and all applicable laws 
and regulations, including judicially recognized exceptions to the 
requirement for a search warrant under the Fourth Amendment, for 
example, consent of the person to be searched, exigent circumstances, 
searches incident to a lawful arrest, and border searches.
    (ii) BIS may enter into any such agreements (e.g., memoranda of 
understanding) with other Federal agencies as deemed necessary by BIS to 
execute the authorities set forth in this part in a lawful and orderly 
manner.
    (iii) BIS shall issue additional guidance as necessary to ensure the 
lawful and orderly execution of the Secretary's authorities.
    (iv) Nothing in this section is intended to limit or abridge BIS law 
enforcement officers from exercising their lawful authority in carrying 
out their official duties.

Sec.758.8  Return or unloading of cargo.

    (a) Carrier. As used in this section, the term ``carrier'' includes 
a connecting or on-forwarding carrier, as well as the owner, charterer, 
agent, master, or any other person in possession, control, or charge of 
the vessel, aircraft, vehicle, or other kind of conveyance, whether such 
person is located in the United States or in a foreign country.
    (b) Ordering return or unloading of shipment. In order to ensure 
compliance with export laws and regulations administered or enforced by 
the Secretary, OEE officials, or any other official of the United States 
designated by OEE, may, with respect to a particular export, reexport, 
or transfer (in-country), order any carrier to return or unload the 
shipment. For the purpose of this section, furnishing a copy of the 
order to any person included within the definition of carrier will be 
sufficient notice of the order to the carrier. The carrier must, as 
ordered:
    (1) Unload the shipment and make it available to OEE officials for 
search and inspection; or
    (2) Return the shipment to the United States or cause it to be 
returned; or
    (3) Unload the shipment at a port of call and take steps to assure 
that it is placed in custody under bond or other guaranty not to enter 
the commerce of any foreign country without the prior approval of BIS.

[[Page 743]]

    (c) Requirements regarding shipment to be unloaded. The provisions 
of Sec.758.5(d) and (e) of this part, relating to reporting, 
notification to BIS, and the prohibition against unauthorized delivery 
or entry of the item into a foreign country shall apply also when items 
are unloaded at a port of call, as provided in paragraph (b)(3) of this 
section.
    (d) Notification. Upon discovery by any person included within the 
term ``carrier,'' as defined in paragraph (a) of this section, that a 
violation of the export laws and regulations administered or enforced by 
the Secretary has occurred, is occurring, or is about to occur with 
respect to a shipment on board, or otherwise in the possession or 
control of the carrier, such person must immediately notify both:
    (1) The Office of Export Enforcement at the following address: Room 
H-4508, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Ave. 
NW, Washington, DC 20230, Telephone: (202) 482-1208, Facsimile: (202)

    (2) The person in actual possession or control of the shipment.

[85 FR 73415, Nov. 18, 2020]



Sec.758.9  Other applicable laws and regulations.

    The provisions of this part apply only to exports, reexports, and 
transfers (in-country), as well as the activities of U.S. persons 
described in Sec.744.6 of the EAR, which are subject to the export 
laws and regulations administered or enforced by the Secretary. Nothing 
contained in this part shall relieve any person from complying with any 
other law of the United States or rules and regulations issued 
thereunder, including those governing EEI filings to AES, manifests, or 
any other applicable rules and regulations.

[85 FR 73415, Nov. 18, 2020]



Sec.758.10  Entry clearance requirements for temporary imports.

    (a) Scope. This section specifies the temporary import entry 
clearance requirements for firearms ``subject to the EAR'' that are on 
the United States Munitions Import List (USMIL, 27 CFR 447.21), except 
for firearms ``subject to the EAR'' that are temporarily brought into 
the United States by nonimmigrant aliens under the provisions of 
Department of Justice regulations at 27 CFR part 478 (See Sec.
740.14(e) of the EAR for information on the export of these firearms 
``subject to the EAR''). These firearms are controlled in ECCN 0A501.a 
or .b or shotguns with a barrel length less than 18 inches controlled in 
ECCN 0A502. Items that are temporarily exported under the EAR must have 
met the export clearance requirements specified in Sec.758.1.
    (1) An authorization under the EAR is not required for the temporary 
import of ``items'' that are ``subject to the EAR,'' including for 
``items'' ``subject to the EAR'' that are on the USMIL. Temporary 
imports of firearms described in this section must meet the entry 
clearance requirements specified in paragraph (b) of this section.
    (2) Permanent imports are regulated by the Attorney General under 
the direction of the Department of Justice's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, 
Firearms and Explosives (see 27 CFR parts 447, 478, 479, and 555).
    (b) EAR procedures for temporary imports and subsequent exports. To 
the satisfaction of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the temporary 
importer must comply with the following procedures:
    (1) At the time of entry into the U.S. of the temporary import:
    (i) Provide one of the following statements specified in paragraph 
(b)(1)(i)(A), (B), or (C) of this section to U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection:
    (A) ``This shipment is being temporarily imported in accordance with 
the EAR. This shipment will be exported in accordance with and under the 
authority of License Exception TMP (15 CFR 740.9(b)(5));''
    (B) ``This shipment is being temporarily imported in accordance with 
the EAR. This shipment will be exported in accordance with and under the 
authority of License Exception RPL (15 CFR 740.10(b));'' or
    (C) ``This shipment is being temporarily imported in accordance with 
the EAR. This shipment will be exported in accordance with and under the 
authority of BIS license number (provide the license number) (15 CFR 
750.7(a) and 758.4);''

[[Page 744]]

    (ii) Provide to U.S. Customs and Border Protection an invoice or 
other appropriate import-related documentation (or electronic 
equivalents) that includes a complete list and description of the 
firearms being temporarily imported, including their model, make, 
caliber, serial numbers, quantity, and U.S. dollar value;
    (iii) Provide (if temporarily imported for a trade show, exhibition, 
demonstration, or testing) to U.S. Customs and Border Protection the 
relevant invitation or registration documentation for the event and an 
accompanying letter that details the arrangements to maintain effective 
control of the firearms while they are in the United States; or
    (iv) Provide (if temporarily imported for servicing or replacement) 
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection the name, address and contact 
information (telephone number and/or email) of the organization or 
individual in the U.S. that will be receiving the item for servicing or 
replacement).

    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(1): In accordance with the exclusions in 
License Exception TMP under Sec.740.9(b)(5) of the EAR, the entry 
clearance requirements in Sec.758.1(b)(9) do not permit the temporary 
import of: Firearms controlled in ECCN 0A501.a or .b that are shipped 
from or manufactured in a Country Group D:5 country; or that are shipped

EAR); or shotguns with a barrel length less than 18 inches controlled in 
ECCN 0A502 that are shipped from or manufactured in Russia, Georgia,

Sec.760.1  Definitions.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C.
    (a) Definition of person. For purposes of this part, the term person 
means any individual, or any association or organization, public or 
private, which is organized, permanently established, resident, or 
registered to do business, in the United States or any foreign country. 
This definition of person includes both the singular and plural and, in 
addition, includes:
    (1) Any partnership, corporation, company, branch, or other form of 
association or organization, whether organized for profit or non-profit 
purposes;
    (2) Any government, or any department, agency, or commission of any 
government;
    (3) Any trade association, chamber of commerce, or labor union;
    (4) Any charitable or fraternal organization; and
    (5) Any other association or organization not specifically listed in 
paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section.
    (b) Definition of ``United States person''. (1) This part applies to 
United States persons. For purposes of this part, the term United States 
person means any person who is a United States resident or national, 
including individuals, domestic concerns, and ``controlled in fact'' 
foreign subsidiaries, affiliates, or other permanent foreign 
establishments of domestic concerns. This definition of United

[[Page 746]]

States person includes both the singular and plural and, in addition, 
includes:
    (i) The government of the United States or any department, agency, 
or commission thereof;
    (ii) The government of any State of the United States, the District 
of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, any territory or 
possession of the United States, or any subdivision, department, agency, 
or commission of any such government;
    (iii) Any partnership, corporation, company, association, or other 
entity organized under the laws of paragraph (b)(1)(i) or (ii) of this 
section;
    (iv) Any foreign concern's subsidiary, partnership, affiliate, 
branch, office, or other permanent establishment in any state of the 
United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto 
Rico, or any territory or possession of the United States; and
    (v) Any domestic concern's foreign subsidiary, partnership, 
affiliate, branch, office, or other permanent foreign establishment 
which is controlled in fact by such domestic concern. (See paragraph (c) 
of this section on ``Definition of `Controlled in Fact'.'')
    (2) The term domestic concern means any partnership, corporation, 
company, association, or other entity of, or organized under the laws 
of, any jurisdiction named in paragraph (b)(1) (i) or (ii) of this 
section, or any permanent domestic establishment of a foreign concern.
    (3) The term foreign concern means any partnership, corporation, 
company, association, or other entity of, or organized under the laws 
of, any jurisdiction other than those named in paragraph (b)(1)(i) or 
(ii) of this section.
    (4) The term United States person does not include an individual 
United States national who is resident outside the United States and who 
is either employed permanently or temporarily by a non-United States 
person or assigned to work as an employee for, and under the direction 
and control of, a non-United States person.

                  Examples of ``United States Person''

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
whether a person is a ``United States person.'' They are illustrative, 
not comprehensive.
    (i) U.S. bank A has a branch office in foreign country P. Such 
branch office is a United States person, because it is a permanent 
foreign establishment of a domestic concern.
    (ii) Ten foreign nationals establish a manufacturing plant, A, in 
the United States, incorporating the plant under New York law.
    A is a United States person, because it is a corporation organized 
under the laws of one of the states of the United States.
    (iii) A, a foreign corporation, opens an office in the United States 
for purposes of soliciting U.S. orders. The office is not separately 
incorporated.
    A's U.S. office is a United States person, because it is a permanent 
establishment, in the United States, of a foreign concern.
    (iv) A, a U.S. individual, owns stock in foreign corporation B.
    A is a United States person. However, A is not a ``domestic 
concern,'' because the term ``domestic concern'' does not include 
individuals.
    (v) A, a foreign national resident in the United States, is employed 
by B, a foreign corporation.
    A is a United States person, because he is resident in the United 
States.
    (vi) A, a foreign national, who is resident in a foreign country and 
is employed by a foreign corporation, makes occasional visits to the 
United States, for purposes of exploring business opportunities.
    A is not a United States person, because he is not a United States 
resident or national.
    (vii) A is an association of U.S. firms organized under the laws of 
Pennsylvania for the purpose of expanding trade.
    A is a United States person, because it is an association organized 
under the laws of one of the states of the United States.
    (viii) At the request of country Y, A, an individual employed by 
U.S. company B, is assigned to company C as an employee. C is a foreign 
company owned and controlled by country Y. A, a U.S. national who will 
reside in Y, has agreed to the assignment provided he is able to retain 
his insurance, pension, and other benefits. Accordingly, company B has 
agreed to keep A as an employee in order to protect his employee 
benefits, and company C has agreed to pay for A's salary. At all times 
while he works for C, A will be under C's direction and control.
    A is not a United States person while under C's direction and 
control, because he will be resident outside the United States and 
assigned as an employee to a non-United States person. The arrangement 
designed to protect A's insurance, pension, and other benefits does not 
destroy his status as an employee of C so long as he is under the 
direction and control of C.

[[Page 747]]

    (ix) A, a U.S. citizen, has resided in Europe for three years, where 
he is a self-employed consultant for United States and foreign companies 
in the communications industry.
    A is a United States person, because he is a U.S. national and 
because he is not a resident outside the United States who is employed 
by other than a United States person.

    (c) Definition of ``Controlled in Fact''. (1) This part applies to 
any domestic concern's foreign subsidiary, partnership, affiliate, 
branch, office, or other permanent foreign establishment which is 
controlled in fact by such domestic concern. Control in fact consists of 
the authority or ability of a domestic concern to establish the general 
policies or to control day-to-day operations of its foreign subsidiary, 
partnership, affiliate, branch, office, or other permanent foreign 
establishment.
    (2) A foreign subsidiary or affiliate of a domestic concern will be 
presumed to be controlled in fact by that domestic concern, subject to 
rebuttal by competent evidence, when:
    (i) The domestic concern beneficially owns or controls (whether 
directly or indirectly) more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting 
securities of the foreign subsidiary or affiliate;
    (ii) The domestic concern beneficially owns or controls (whether 
directly or indirectly) 25 percent or more of the voting securities of 
the foreign subsidiary or affiliate, if no other person owns or controls 
(whether directly or indirectly) an equal or larger percentage;
    (iii) The foreign subsidiary or affiliate is operated by the 
domestic concern pursuant to the provisions of an exclusive management 
contract;
    (iv) A majority of the members of the board of directors of the 
foreign subsidiary or affiliate are also members of the comparable 
governing body of the domestic concern;
    (v) The domestic concern has authority to appoint the majority of 
the members of the board of directors of the foreign subsidiary or 
affiliate; or
    (vi) The domestic concern has authority to appoint the chief 
operating officer of the foreign subsidiary or affiliate.
    (3) A brokerage firm or other person which holds simple record 
ownership of securities for the convenience of clients will not be 
deemed to control the securities.
    (4) A domestic concern which owns, directly or indirectly, 
securities that are immediately convertible at the option of the holder 
or owner into voting securities is presumed to own or control those 
voting securities.
    (5) A domestic concern's foreign branch office or other 
unincorporated permanent foreign establishment is deemed to be 
controlled in fact by such domestic concern under all circumstances.

                   Examples of ``Controlled in Fact''

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which a foreign subsidiary, affiliate, or other 
permanent foreign establishment of a domestic concern is ``controlled in 
fact.'' They are illustrative, not comprehensive.
    (i) Company A is incorporated in a foreign country. Fifty-one 
percent of the voting stock of A is owned by U.S. company B.
    A is presumed to be controlled in fact by B. This presumption may be 
rebutted by competent evidence showing that control does not, in fact, 
lie with B.
    (ii) Company A is incorporated in a foreign country. Ten percent of 
the voting stock of A is owned by U.S. company B. A has an exclusive 
management contract with B pursuant to which A is operated by B.
    As long as such contract is in effect, A is presumed to be 
controlled in fact by B. This presumption may be rebutted by competent 
evidence showing that control does not, in fact, lie with B.
    (iii) Company A is incorporated in a foreign country. Ten percent of 
the voting stock of A is owned by U.S. company B. A has 10 persons on 
its board of directors. Six of those persons are also members of the 
board of directors of U.S. company B.
    A is presumed to be controlled in fact by B. This presumption may be 
rebutted by competent evidence showing that control does not, in fact, 
lie with B.
    (iv) Company A is incorporated in a foreign country. Thirty percent 
of the voting securities of A is owned by U.S. company B and no other 
person owns or controls an equal or larger share.
    A is presumed to be controlled in fact by B. This presumption may be 
rebutted by competent evidence showing that control does not, in fact, 
lie with B.
    (v) Company A is incorporated in a foreign country. In A's articles 
of incorporation, U.S. company B has been given authority to appoint A's 
board of directors.

[[Page 748]]

    A is presumed to be controlled in fact by B. This presumption may be 
rebutted by competent evidence showing that control does not, in fact, 
lie with B.
    (vi) Company A is a joint venture established in a foreign country, 
with equal participation by U.S. company B and foreign company C. U.S. 
Company B has authority to appoint A's chief operating officer.
    A is presumed to be controlled in fact by B. This presumption may be 
rebutted by competent evidence showing that control does not, in fact, 
lie with B.
    (vii) Same as (vi), except that B has no authority to appoint A's 
chief operating officer.
    B is not presumed to control A, absent other facts giving rise to a 
presumption of control.
    (viii) Company A is incorporated in a foreign country. U.S. 
companies B, C, and D each own 20 percent of A's voting securities and 
regularly cast their votes in concert.
    A is presumed to be controlled in fact by B, C, and D, because these 
companies are acting in concert to control A.
    (ix) U.S. bank B located in the United States has a branch office, 
A, in a foreign country. A is not separately incorporated.
    A is deemed to be controlled in fact by B, because A is a branch 
office of a domestic concern.
    (x) Company A is incorporated in a foreign country. Fifty-one 
percent of the voting stock of A is owned by company B, which is 
incorporated in another foreign country. Fifty-one percent of the voting 
stock of B is owned by C, a U.S. company.
    Both A and B are presumed to be controlled in fact by C. The 
presumption of C's control over B may be rebutted by competent evidence 
showing that control over B does not, in fact, lie with C. The 
presumption of B's control over A (and thus C's control over A) may be 
rebutted by competent evidence showing that control over A does not, in 
fact, lie with B.
    (xi) B, a U.S. individual, owns 51 percent of the voting securities 
of A, a manufacturing company incorporated and located in a foreign 
country.
    A is not ``controlled in fact'' under this part, because it is not 
controlled by a ``domestic concern.''

    (d) Definition of ``Activities in the Interstate or Foreign Commerce 
of the United States''.

 Activities Involving United States Persons Located in the United States

    (1) For purposes of this part, the activities of a United States 
person located in the United States are in the interstate or foreign 
commerce of the United States if they involve the sale, purchase, or 
transfer of goods or services (including information) between:
    (i) Two or more of the several States (including the District of 
Columbia);
    (ii) Any State (including the District of Columbia) and any 
territory or possession of the United States;
    (iii) Two or more of the territories or possessions of the United 
States; or
    (iv) A State (including the District of Columbia), territory or 
possession of the United States and any foreign country.
    (2) For purposes of this part, the export of goods or services from 
the United States and the import of goods or services into the United 
States are activities in United States commerce. In addition, the action 
of a domestic concern in specifically directing the activities of its 
controlled in fact foreign subsidiary, affiliate, or other permanent 
foreign establishment is an activity in United States commerce.
    (3) Activities of a United States person located in the United 
States may be in United States commerce even if they are part of or 
ancillary to activities outside United States commerce. However, the 
fact that an ancillary activity is in United States commerce does not, 
in and of itself, mean that the underlying or related activity is in 
United States commerce.
    (4) Hence, the action of a United States bank located in the United 
States in providing financing from the United States for a foreign 
transaction that is not in United States commerce is nonetheless itself 
in United States commerce. However, the fact that the financing is in 
United States commerce does not, in and of itself, make the underlying 
foreign transaction an activity in United States commerce, even if the 
underlying transaction involves a foreign company that is a United 
States person within the meaning of this part.
    (5) Similarly, the action of a United States person located in the 
United States in providing financial, accounting, legal, t 
ransportation, or other ancillary services to its controlled in fact 
foreign subsidiary, affiliate, or other permanent foreign establishment 
in connection with a foreign transaction is in United States commerce. 
But the provision of such ancillary services will not, in and of itself, 
bring the foreign transaction of such subsidiary, affiliate, or 
permanent foreign establishment into United States commerce.

 Activities of Controlled in Fact Foreign Subsidiaries, Affiliates, and 
                 Other Permanent Foreign Establishments

    (6) Any transaction between a controlled in fact foreign subsidiary, 
affiliate, or other permanent foreign establishment of a domestic 
concern and a person located in the United States is an activity in 
United States commerce.

[[Page 749]]

    (7) Whether a transaction between such a foreign subsidiary, 
affiliate, or other permanent foreign establishment and a person located 
outside the United States is an activity in United States commerce is 
governed by the following rules.

                  Activities in United States Commerce

    (8) A transaction between a domestic concern's controlled in fact 
foreign subsidiary, affiliate, or other permanent foreign establishment 
and a person outside the United States, involving goods or services 
(including information but not including ancillary services) acquired 
from a person in the United States is in United States commerce under 
any of the following circumstances--
    (i) If the goods or services were acquired for the purpose of 
filling an order from a person outside the United States;
    (ii) If the goods or services were acquired for incorporation into, 
refining into, reprocessing into, or manufacture of another product for 
the purpose of filling an order from a person outside the United States;
    (iii) If the goods or services were acquired for the purpose of 
fulfilling or engaging in any other transaction with a person outside 
the United States; or
    (iv) If the goods were acquired and are ultimately used, without 
substantial alteration or modification, in filling an order from, or 
fulfilling or engaging in any other transaction with, a person outside 
the United States (whether or not the goods were originally acquired for 
that purpose). If the goods are indistinguishable as to origin from 
similar foreign-trade goods with which they have been mingled in a 
stockpile or inventory, the subsequent transaction involving the goods 
is presumed to be in United States commerce unless, at the time of 
filling the order, the foreign-origin inventory on hand was sufficient 
to fill the order.
    (9) For purposes of this section, goods or services are considered 
to be acquired for the purpose of filling an order from or engaging in 
any other transaction with a person outside the United States where:
    (i) They are purchased by the foreign subsidiary, affiliate, or 
other permanent foreign establishment upon the receipt of an order from 
or on behalf of a customer with the intention that the goods or services 
are to go to the customer;
    (ii) They are purchased by the foreign subsidiary, affiliate, or 
other permanent foreign establishment to meet the needs of specified 
customers pursuant to understandings with those customers, although not 
for immediate delivery; or
    (iii) They are purchased by the foreign subsidiary, affiliate, or 
other permanent foreign establishment based on the anticipated needs of 
specified customers.
    (10) If any non-ancillary part of a transaction between a domestic 
concern's controlled foreign subsidiary, affiliate, or other permanent 
foreign establishment and a person outside the United States is in 
United States commerce, the entire transaction is in United States 
commerce. For example, if such a foreign subsidiary is engaged in 
filling an order from a non-United States customer both with goods 
acquired from the United States and with goods acquired elsewhere, the 
entire transaction with that customer is in United States commerce.

                Activities Outside United States Commerce

    (11) A transaction between a domestic concern's controlled foreign 
subsidiary, affiliate, or other permanent foreign establishment and a 
person outside the United States, not involving the purchase, sale, or 
transfer of goods or services (including information) to or from a 
person in the United States, is not an activity in United States 
commerce.
    (12) The activities of a domestic concern's controlled foreign 
subsidiary, affiliate, or other permanent foreign establishment with 
respect to goods acquired from a person in the United States are not in 
United States commerce where:
    (i) They were acquired without reference to a specific order from or 
transaction with a person outside the United States; and
    (ii) They were further manufactured, incorporated into, refined 
into, or reprocessed into another product.
    (13) The activities of a domestic concern's controlled foreign 
subsidiary, affiliate, or other permanent foreign establishment with 
respect to services acquired from a person in the United States are not 
in United States commerce where:
    (i) They were acquired without reference to a specific order from or 
transaction with a person outside the United States; or
    (ii) They are ancillary to the transaction with the person outside 
the United States.
    (14) For purposes of this section, services are ancillary services 
if they are provided to a controlled foreign subsidiary, affiliate, or 
other permanent foreign establishment primarily for its own use rather 
than for the use of a third person. These typically include financial, 
accounting, legal,transportation, and other services, whether provided 
by a domestic concern or an unrelated entity.
    (15) Thus, the provision of the project financing by a United States 
bank located in the United States to a controlled foreign subsidiary 
unrelated to the bank is an ancillary service which will not cause the 
underlying transaction to be in United States commerce. By contrast, 
where a domestic concern, on behalf of its controlled foreign 
subsidiary, gives a guaranty of performance to a foreign country 
customer, that is a service provided to the customer and, as such, 
brings that subsidiary's transaction with the customer into United 
States commerce.

[[Page 750]]

Similarly, architectural or engineering services provided by a domestic 
concern in connection with its controlled foreign subsidiary's 
construction project in a third country are services passed through to 
the subsidiary's customer and, as such, bring that subsidiary's foreign 
transaction into United States commerce.

                                 General

    (16) Regardless of whether the subsequent disposition of goods or 
services from the United States is in United States commerce, the 
original acquisition of goods or services from a person in the United 
States is an activity in United States commerce subject to this part. 
Thus, if a domestic concern's controlled foreign subsidiary engages in a 
prohibited refusal to do business in stocking its inventory with goods 
from the United States, that action is subject to this part whether or 
not subsequent sales from that inventory are.
    (17) In all the above, goods and services will be considered to have 
been acquired from a person in the United States whether they were 
acquired directly or indirectly through a third party, where the person 
acquiring the goods or services knows or expects, at the time he places 
the order, that they will be delivered from the United States.

                            Letters of Credit

    (18) Implementation of a letter of credit in the United States by a 
United States person located in the United States, including a permanent 
United States establishment of a foreign concern, is an activity in 
United States commerce.
    (19) Implementation of a letter of credit outside the United States 
by a United States person located outside the United States is in United 
States commerce where the letter of credit (a) specifies a United States 
address for the beneficiary, (b) calls for documents indicating shipment 
from the United States, or (c) calls for documents indicating that the 
goods are of United States origin.
    (20) See Sec.760.2(f) of this part on ``Letters of Credit'' to 
determine the circumstances in which paying, honoring, confirming, or 
otherwise implementing a letter of credit is covered by this part.

  Examples of Activities in the Interstate or Foreign Commerce of the 
                              United States

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which an activity is in the interstate or foreign 
commerce of the United States. They are illustrative, not comprehensive.

            United States Person Located in the United States

    (i) U.S. company A exports goods from the United States to a foreign 
country. A's activity is in U.S. commerce, because A is exporting goods 
from the United States.
    (ii) U.S. company A imports goods into the United States from a 
foreign country. A's activity is in U.S. commerce, because A is 
importing goods into the United States.
    (iii) U.S. engineering company A supplies consulting services to its 
controlled foreign subsidiary, B. A's activity is in U.S. commerce, 
because A is exporting services from the United States.
    (iv) U.S. company A supplies consulting services to foreign company 
B. B is unrelated to A or any other U.S. person.
    A's activity is in U.S. commerce even though B, a foreign-owned 
company located outside the United States, is not subject to this part, 
because A is exporting services from the United States.
    (v) Same as (iv), except A is a bank located in the United States 
and provides a construction loan to B.
    A's activity is in U.S. commerce even though B is not subject to 
this part, because A is exporting financial services from the United 
States.
    (vi) U.S. company A issues policy directives from time to time to 
its controlled foreign subsidiary, B, governing the conduct of B's 
activities with boycotting countries.
    A's activity in directing the activities of its foreign subsidiary, 
B, is an activity in U.S. commerce.

     Foreign Subsidiaries, Affiliates, and Other Permanent Foreign 
                   Establishments of Domestic Concerns

    (i) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, purchases 
goods from the United States.
    A's purchase of goods from the United States is in U.S. commerce, 
because A is importing goods from the United States. Whether A's 
subsequent disposition of these goods is in U.S. commerce is irrelevant. 
Similarly, the fact that A purchased goods from the United States does 
not, in and of itself, make any subsequent disposition of those goods an 
activity in U.S. commerce.
    (ii) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, receives 
an order from boycotting country Y for construction materials. A places 
an order with U.S. company B for the materials.
    A's transaction with Y is an activity in U.S. commerce, because the 
materials are purchased from the United States for the purpose of 
filling the order from Y.
    (iii) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, receives 
an order from boycotting country Y for construction materials. A places 
an order with U.S. company B

[[Page 751]]

for some of the materials, and with U.S. company C, an unrelated 
company, for the rest of the materials.
    A's transaction with Y is an activity in U.S. commerce, because the 
materials are purchased from the United States for the purpose of 
filling the order from Y. It makes no difference whether the materials 
are ordered from B or C.
    (iv) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, is in the 
wholesale and retail appliance sales business. A purchases finished air 
conditioning units from the United States from time to time in order to 
stock its inventory. A's inventory is also stocked with air conditioning 
units purchased outside the United States. A receives an order for air 
conditioning units from Y, a boycotting country. The order is filled 
with U.S.-origin units in A's inventory.
    A's transaction with Y is in U.S. commerce, because its U.S.-origin 
goods are resold without substantial alteration.
    (v) Same as (iv), except that A is in the chemicals distribution 
business. Its U.S.-origin goods are mingled in inventory with foreign-
origin goods.
    A's sale to Y of unaltered goods from its general inventory is 
presumed to be in U.S. commerce unless A can show that at the time of 
the sale the foreign-origin inventory on hand was sufficient to cover 
the shipment to Y.
    (vi) A, a foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, receives an order 
from boycotting country Y for computers. A places an order with U.S. 
company B for some of the components; with U.S. company C, an unrelated 
company, for other components; and with foreign company D for the rest 
of the components. A then assembles the computers and ships them to Y.
    A's transaction with Y is an activity in U.S. commerce, because some 
of the components are acquired from the United States for purposes of 
filling an order from Y.
    (vii) Same as (vi), except A purchases all the components from non-
U.S.sources.
    A's transaction with Y is not an activity in U.S. commerce, because 
it involves no export of goods from the United States. It makes no 
difference whether the technology A uses to manufacture computers was 
originally acquired from its U.S. parent.
    (viii) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, 
manufactures computers. A stocks its general components and parts 
inventory with purchases made at times from the United States and at 
times from foreign sources. A receives an order from Y, a boycotting 
country, for computers. A fills that order by manufacturing the 
computers using materials from its general inventory.
    A's transaction with Y is not in U.S. commerce, because the U.S.-
origin components are not acquired for the purpose of meeting the 
anticipated needs of specified customers in Y. It is irrelevant that A's 
operations may be based on U.S.-origin technology.
    (ix) Same as (viii), except that in anticipation of the order from 
Y, A orders and receives the necessary materials from the United States.
    A's transaction with Y is in U.S. commerce, because the U.S.-origin 
goods were acquired for the purpose of filling an anticipated order from 
Y.
    (x) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, 
manufactures typewriters. It buys typewriter components both from the 
United States and from foreign sources. A sells its output in various 
places throughout the world, including boycotting country Y. Its sales 
to Y vary from year to year, but have averaged approximately 20 percent 
of sales for the past five years. A expects that its sales to Y will 
remain at approximately that level in the years ahead although it has no 
contracts or orders from Y on hand.
    A's sales of typewriters to Y are not in U.S. commerce, because the 
U.S. components are not acquired for the purpose of filling an order 
from Y. A general expectancy of future sales is not an ``order'' within 
the meaning of this section.
    (xi) U.S. company A's corporate counsel provides legal advice to B, 
its controlled foreign subsidiary, on the applicability of this Part to 
B's transactions.
    While provision of this legal advice is itself an activity in U.S. 
commerce, it does not, in and of itself, bring B's activities into U.S. 
commerce.
    (xii) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, is in 
the general construction business. A enters into a contract with 
boycotting country Y to construct a power plant in Y. In preparing 
engineering drawings and specifications, A uses the advice and 
assistance of B.
    A's transaction with Y is in U.S. commerce, because B's services are 
used for purposes of fulfilling the contract with Y. B's services are 
not ancillary services, because the engineering services in connection 
with construction of the power plant are part of the services ultimately 
provided to Y by A.
    (xiii) Same as (xii), except that A gets no engineering advice or 
assistance from B. However, B's corporate counsel provides legal advice 
to A regarding the structure of the transaction. In addition, B's 
corporate counsel draws up the contract documents.
    A's transaction with Y is not in U.S. commerce. The legal services 
provided to A are ancillary services, because they are not part of the 
services provided to Y by A in fulfillment of its contract with Y.
    (xiv) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, enters 
into a contract to construct an apartment complex in boycotting country 
Y. A will fulfill its contract completely with goods and services from

[[Page 752]]

outside the United States. Pursuant to a provision in the contract, B 
guarantees A's performance of the contract.
    A's transaction with Y is in U.S. commerce, because B's guaranty of 
A's performance involves the acquisition of services from the United 
States for purposes of fulfilling the transaction with Y, and those 
services are part of the services ultimately provided to Y.
    (xv) Same as (xiv), except that the guaranty of A's performance is 
supplied by C, a non-U.S. person located outside the United States. 
However, unrelated to any particular transaction, B from time to time 
provides general financial, legal, and technical services to A.
    A's transaction with Y is not in U.S. commerce, because the services 
acquired from the United States are not acquired for purposes of 
fulfilling the contract with Y.
    (xvi) A, a foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, has a contract with 
boycotting country Y to conduct oil drilling operations in that country. 
In conducting these operations, A from time to time seeks certain 
technical advice from B regarding the operation of the drilling rigs.
    A's contract with Y is in U.S. commerce, because B's services are 
sought for purposes of fulfilling the contract with Y and are part of 
the services ultimately provided to Y.
    (xvii) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, enters 
into a contract to sell typewriters to boycotting country Y. A is 
located in non-boycotting country P. None of the components are acquired 
from the United States. A engages C, a U.S. shipping company, to 
transport the typewriters from P to Y.
    A's sales to Y are not in U.S. commerce, because in carrying A's 
goods, C is providing an ancillary service to A and not a service to Y.
    (xviii) Same as (xvii), except that A's contract with Y calls for 
title to pass to Y in P. In addition, the contract calls for A to engage 
a carrier to make delivery to Y.
    A's sales to Y are in U.S. commerce, because in carrying Y's goods, 
C is providing a service to A which is ultimately provided to Y.
    (xix) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, has 
general product liability insurance with U.S. company C. Foreign-origin 
goods sold from time to time by A to boycotting country Y are covered by 
the insurance policy.
    A's sales to Y are not in U.S. commerce, because the insurance 
provided by C is an ancillary service provided to A which is not 
ultimately provided to Y.
    (xx) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, 
manufactures automobiles abroad under a license agreement with B. From 
time to time, A sells such goods to boycotting country Y.
    A's sales to Y are not in U.S. commerce, because the rights conveyed 
by the license are not acquired for the specific purpose of engaging in 
transactions with Y.

    (e) ``Intent''. (1) This part prohibits a United States person from 
taking or knowingly agreeing to take certain specified actions with 
intent to comply with, further, or support an unsanctioned foreign 
boycott.
    (2) A United States person has the intent to comply with, further, 
or support an unsanctioned foreign boycott when such a boycott is at 
least one of the reasons for that person's decision whether to take a 
particular prohibited action. So long as that is at least one of the 
reasons for that person's action, a violation occurs regardless of 
whether the prohibited action is also taken for non-boycott reasons. 
Stated differently, the fact that such action was taken for legitimate 
business reasons does not remove that action from the scope of this part 
if compliance with an unsanctioned foreign boycott was also a reason for 
the action.
    (3) Intent is a necessary element of any violation of any of the 
prohibitions under Sec.760.2. It is not sufficient that one take 
action that is specifically prohibited by this part. It is essential 
that one take such action with intent to comply with, further,or support 
an unsanctioned foreign boycott. Accordingly, a person who 
inadvertently, without boycott intent, takes a prohibited action, does 
not commit any violation of this part.
    (4) Intent in this context means the reason or purpose for one's 
behavior. It does not mean that one has to agree with the boycott in 
question or desire that it succeed or that it be furthered or supported. 
But it does mean that the reason why a particular prohibited action was 
taken must be established.
    (5) Reason or purpose can be proved by circumstantial evidence. For 
example, if a person receives a request to supply certain boycott 
information, the furnishing of which is prohibited by this part, and he 
knowingly supplies that information in response, he clearly intends to 
comply with that boycott request. It is irrelevant that he may disagree 
with or object to the boycott itself. Information will be deemed to be 
furnished with the requisite intent if

[[Page 753]]

the person furnishing the information knows that it was sought for 
boycott purposes. On the other hand, if a person refuses to do business 
with someone who happens to be blacklisted, but the reason is because 
that person produces an inferior product, the requisite intent does not 
exist.
    (6) Actions will be deemed to be taken with intent to comply with an 
unsanctioned foreign boycott if the person taking such action knew that 
such action was required or requested for boycott reasons. On the other 
hand, the mere absence of a business relationship with a blacklisted 
person or with or in a boycotted country does not indicate the existence 
of the requisite intent.
    (7) In seeking to determine whether the requisite intent exists, all 
available evidence will be examined.

                         Examples of ``Intent''

    The following examples are intended to illustrate the factors which 
will be considered in determining whether the required intent exists. 
They are illustrative, not comprehensive.
    (i) U.S. person A does business in boycotting country Y. In 
selecting firms to supply goods for shipment to Y, A chooses supplier B 
because B's products are less expensive and of higher quality than the 
comparable products of supplier C. A knows that C is blacklisted, but 
that is not a reason for A's selection of B.
    A's choice of B rather than C is not action with intent to comply 
with Y's boycott, because C's blacklist status is not a reason for A's 
action.
    (ii) Same as (i), except that A chooses B rather than C in part 
because C is blacklisted by Y.
    Since C's blacklist status is a reason for A's choice, A's action is 
taken with intent to comply with Y's boycott.
    (iii) U.S. person A bids on a tender issued by boycotting country Y. 
A inadvertently fails to notice a prohibited certification which appears 
in the tender document. A's bid is accepted.
    A's action in bidding was not taken with intent to comply with Y's 
boycott, because the boycott was not a reason for A's action.
    (iv) U.S. bank A engages in letter of credit transactions, in favor 
of U.S. beneficiaries, involving the shipments of U.S. goods to 
boycotting country Y. As A knows, such letters of credit routinely 
contain conditions requiring prohibited certifications. A fails to take 
reasonable steps to prevent the implementation of such letters of 
credit. A receives for implementation a letter of credit which in fact 
contains a prohibited condition but does not examine the letter of 
credit to determine whether it contains such a condition.
    Although Y's boycott may not be a specific reason for A's action in 
implementing the letter of credit with a prohibited condition, all 
available evidence shows that A's action was taken with intent to comply 
with the boycott, because A knows or should know that its procedures 
result in compliance with the boycott.
    (v) U.S. bank A engages in letter of credit transactions, in favor 
of U.S. beneficiaries, involving the shipment of U.S. goods to 
boycotting country Y. As A knows, the documentation accompanying such 
letters of credit sometimes contains prohibited certifications. In 
accordance with standard banking practices applicable to A, it does not 
examine such accompanying documentation. A receives a letter of credit 
in favor of a U.S. beneficiary. The letter of credit itself contains no 
prohibited conditions. However, the accompanying documentation, which A 
does not examine, does contain such a condition.
    All available evidence shows that A's action in implementing the 
letter of credit was not taken with intent to comply with the boycott, 
because A has no affirmative obligation to go beyond applicable standard 
banking practices in implementing letters of credit.
    (vi) A, a U.S. company, is considering opening a manufacturing 
facility in boycotted country X. A already has such a facility in 
boycotting country Y. After exploring the possibilities in X, A 
concludes that the market does not justify the move. A is aware that if 
it did open a plant in X, Y might object because of Y's boycott of X. 
However Y's possible objection is not a reason for A's decision not to 
open a plant in X.
    A's decision not to proceed with the plant in X is not action with 
intent to comply with Y's boycott, because Y's boycott of X is not a 
reason for A's decision.
    (vii) Same as (vi), except that after exploring the business 
possibilities in X, A concludes that the market does justify the move to 
X. However, A does not open the plant because of Y's possible objections 
due to Y's boycott of X.
    A's decision not to proceed with the plant in X is action taken with 
intent to comply with Y's boycott, because Y's boycott is a reason for 
A's decision.
    (viii) A, a U.S. chemical manufacturer, receives a ``boycott 
questionnaire'' from boycotting country Y asking, among other things, 
whether A has any plants located in boycotted country X. A, which has 
never supported Y's boycott of X, responds to Y's questionnaire, 
indicating affirmatively that it does have plants in X and that it 
intends to continue to have plants in X.

[[Page 754]]

    A's responding to Y's questionnaire is deemed to be action with 
intent to comply with Y's boycott because A knows that the questionnaire 
is boycott-related. It is irrelevant that A does not also wish to 
support Y's boycott.
    (ix) U.S. company A has a manufacturing facility in boycotted 
country X. A receives an invitation to bid on a construction project in 
boycotting country Y. The invitation states that all bidders must 
complete a boycott questionnaire and send it in with the bid. The 
questionnaire asks for information about A's business relationships with 
X. Regardless of whether A's bid is successful, A intends to continue 
its business in X undiminished and in fact is exploring and intends to 
continue exploring an expansion of its activities in X without regard to 
Y's boycott.
    A may not answer the questionnaire, because, despite A's intentions 
with regard to its business operations in X, Y's request for completion 
of the questionnaire is for boycott purposes and by responding, A's 
action would be taken with intent to comply with Y's boycott.

FR 68327, Nov. 18, 2008; 73 FR 74349, Dec. 8, 2008]



Sec.760.2  Prohibitions.

    (a) Refusals to do business.

               Prohibition Against Refusals To Do Business

    (1) No United States person may: refuse, knowingly agree to refuse, 
require any other person to refuse, or knowingly agree to require any 
other person to refuse, to do business with or in a boycotted country, 
with any business concern organized under the laws of a boycotted 
country, with any national or resident of a boycotted country, or with 
any other person, when such refusal is pursuant to an agreement with the 
boycotting country, or a requirement of the boycotting country, or a 
request from or on behalf of the boycotting country.
    (2) Generally, a refusal to do business under this section consists 
of action that excludes a person or country from a transaction for 
boycott reasons. This includes a situation in which a United States 
person chooses or selects one person over another on a boycott basis or 
takes action to carry out another person's boycott-based selection when 
he knows or has reason to know that the other person's selection is 
boycott-based.
    (3) Refusals to do business which are prohibited by this section 
include not only specific refusals, but also refusals implied by a 
course or pattern of conduct. There need not be a specific offer and 
refusal to constitute a refusal to do business; a refusal may occur when 
a United States person has a financial or commercial opportunity and 
declines for boycott reasons to consider or accept it.
    (4) A United States person's use of either a boycott-based list of 
persons with whom he will not deal (a so-called ``blacklist'') or a 
boycott-based list of persons with whom he will deal (a so-called 
``whitelist'') constitutes a refusal to do business.
    (5) An agreement by a United States person to comply generally with 
the laws of the boycotting country with which it is doing business or an 
agreement that local laws of the boycotting country shall apply or 
govern is not, in and of itself, a refusal to do business. Nor, in and 
of itself, is use of a contractual clause explicitly requiring a person 
to assume the risk of loss of non-delivery of his products a refusal to 
do business with any person who will not or cannot comply with such a 
clause. (But see Sec.760.4 of this part on ``Evasion.'')
    (6) If, for boycott reasons, a United States general manager chooses 
one supplier over another, or enters into a contract with one supplier 
over another, or advises its client to do so, then the general manager's 
actions constitute a refusal to do business under this section. However, 
it is not a refusal to do business under this section for a United 
States person to provide management, procurement, or other pre-award 
services for another person so long as the provision of such pre-award 
services is customary for that firm (or industry of which the firm is a 
part), without regard to the boycotting or non-boycotting character of 
the countries in which they are performed, and the United States person, 
in providing such services, does not act to exclude a person or country 
from the transaction for boycott reasons, or otherwise take actions that 
are boycott-based. For example, a

[[Page 755]]

United States person under contract to provide general management 
services in connection with a construction project in a boycotting 
country may compile lists of qualified bidders for the client if that 
service is a customary one and if persons who are qualified are not 
excluded from that list because they are blacklisted.
    (7) With respect to post-award services, if a client makes a 
boycott-based selection, actions taken by the United States general 
manager or contractor to carry out the client's choice are themselves 
refusals to do business if the United States contractor knows or has 
reason to know that the client's choice was boycott-based. (It is 
irrelevant whether the United States contractor also provided pre-award 
services.) Such actions include entering into a contract with the 
selected supplier, notifying the supplier of the client's choice, 
executing a contract on behalf of the client, arranging for inspection 
and shipment of the supplier's goods, or taking any other action to 
effect the client's choice. (But see Sec.760.3(d) on ``Compliance with 
Unilateral Selection'' as it may apply to post-award services.)
    (8) An agreement is not a prerequisite to a violation of this 
section since the prohibition extends to actions taken pursuant not only 
to agreements but also to requirements of, and requests from or on 
behalf of, a boycotting country.
    (9) Agreements under this section may be either express or implied 
by a course or pattern of conduct. There need not be a direct request 
from a boycotting country for action by a United States person to have 
been taken pursuant to an agreement with or requirement of a boycotting 
country.
    (10) This prohibition, like all others, applies only with respect to 
a United States person's activities in the interstate or foreign 
commerce of the United States and only when such activities are 
undertaken with intent to comply with, further, or support an 
unsanctioned foreign boycott. The mere absence of a business 
relationship with or in the boycotted country, with any business concern 
organized under the laws of the boycotted country, with national(s) or 
resident(s) of the boycotted country, or with any other person does not 
indicate the existence of the required intent.

      Examples of Refusals and Agreements To Refuse To Do Business

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which, in a boycott situation, a refusal to do 
business or an agreement to refuse to do business is prohibited. They 
are illustrative, not comprehensive.

                         Refusals To Do Business

    (i) A, a U.S. manufacturer, receives an order for its products from 
boycotting country Y. To fill that order, A solicits bids from U.S. 
companies B and C, manufacturers of components used in A's products. A 
does not, however, solicit bids from U.S. companies D or E, which also 
manufacture such components, because it knows that D and E are 
restricted from doing business in Y and that their products are, 
therefore, not importable into that country.
    Company A may not refuse to solicit bids from D and E for boycott 
reasons, because to do so would constitute a refusal to do business with 
those persons.
    (ii) A, a U.S. exporter, uses company B, a U.S. insurer, to insure 
the shipment of its goods to all its overseas customers. For the first 
time, A receives an order for its products from boycotting country Y. 
Knowing that B is on the blacklist of Y, A arranges with company C, a 
non-blacklisted U.S. insurer, to insure the shipment of its goods to Y.
    A's action constitutes a refusal to do business with B.
    (iii) A, a U.S. exporter, purchases all its liability insurance from 
company B, a U.S. company that does business in boycotted country X. A 
wishes to expand its operations into country Y, the boycotting country. 
Before doing so, A decides to switch from insurer B to insurer C in 
anticipation of a request from Y that A sever its relations with B as a 
condition of doing business in Y.
    A may not switch insurers for this reason, because doing so would 
constitute a refusal to do business with B.
    (iv) U.S. company A exports goods to boycotting country Y. In 
selecting vessels to transport the goods to Y, A chooses only from among 
carriers which call at ports in Y.
    A's action is not a refusal to do business with carriers which do 
not call at ports in Y.
    (v) A, a U.S. bank with a branch office in boycotting country Y, 
sends representatives to boycotted country X to discuss plans for 
opening a branch office in X. Upon learning of these discussions, an 
official of the local boycott office in Y advises A's local branch 
manager that if A opens an office in X it will

[[Page 756]]

no longer be allowed to do business in Y. As a result of this 
notification, A decides to abandon its plans to open a branch in X.
    Bank A may not abandon its plans to open a branch in X as a result 
of Y's notification, because doing so would constitute a refusal to do 
business in boycotted country X.
    (vi) A, a U.S. company that manufactures office equipment, has been 
restricted from doing business in boycotting country Y because of its 
business dealings with boycotted country X. In an effort to have itself 
removed from Y's blacklist, A ceases its business in X.
    A's action constitutes a refusal to do business in boycotted country 
X.
    (vii) A, a U.S. computer company, does business in boycotting 
country Y. A decides to explore business opportunities in boycotted 
country X. After careful analysis of possible business opportunities in 
X, A decides, solely for business reasons, not to market its products in 
X.
    A's decision not to proceed is not a refusal to do business, because 
it is not based on boycott considerations. A has no affirmative 
obligation to do business in X.
    (viii) A, a U.S. oil company with operations in boycotting country 
Y, has regularly purchased equipment from U.S. petroleum equipment 
suppliers B, C, and D, none of whom is on the blacklist of Y. Because of 
its satisfactory relationship with B, C, and D, A has not dealt with 
other suppliers, including supplier E, who is blacklisted by Y.
    A's failure affirmatively to seek or secure business with 
blacklisted supplier E is not a refusal to do business with E.
    (ix) Same as (viii), except U.S. petroleum equipment supplier E, a 
company on boycotting country Y's blacklist, offers to supply U.S. oil 
company A with goods comparable to those provided by U.S. suppliers B, 
C, and D. A, because it has satisfactorily, established relationships 
with suppliers B, C, and D, does not accept supplier E's offer.
    A's refusal of supplier E's offer is not a refusal to do business, 
because it is based solely on non-boycott considerations. A has no 
affirmative obligation to do business with E.
    (x) A, a U.S. construction company, enters into a contract to build 
an office complex in boycotting country Y. A receives bids from B and C, 
U.S. companies that are equally qualified suppliers of electrical cable 
for the project. A knows that B is blacklisted by Y and that C is not. A 
accepts C's bid, in part because C is as qualified as the other 
potential supplier and in part because C is not blacklisted.
    A's decision to select supplier C instead of blacklisted supplier B 
is a refusal to do business, because the boycott was one of the reasons 
for A's decision.
    (xi) A, a U.S. general contractor, has been retained to construct a 
highway in boycotting country Y. A circulates an invitation to bid to 
U.S. manufacturers of road-building equipment. One of the conditions 
listed in the invitation to bid is that, in order for A to obtain prompt 
service, suppliers will be required to maintain a supply of spare parts 
and a service facility in Y. A includes this condition solely for 
commercial reasons unrelated to the boycott. Because of this condition, 
however, those suppliers on Y's blacklist do not bid, since they would 
be unable to satisfy the parts and services requirements.
    A's action is not a refusal to do business, because the contractual 
condition was included solely for legitimate business reasons and was 
not boycott-based.
    (xii) Company A, a U.S. oil company, purchases drill bits from U.S. 
suppliers for export to boycotting country Y. In its purchase orders, A 
includes a provision requiring the supplier to make delivery to A's 
facilities in Y and providing that title to the goods does not pass 
until delivery has been made. As is customary under such an arrangement, 
the supplier bears all risks of loss, including loss from fire, theft, 
perils of the sea, and inability to clear customs, until title passes.
    Insistence on such an arrangement does not constitute a refusal to 
do business, because this requirement is imposed on all suppliers 
whether they are blacklisted or not. (But see Sec.760.4 on 
``Evasion''.)
    (xiii) A, a U.S. engineering and construction company, contracts 
with a government agency in boycotting country Y to perform a variety of 
services in connection with the construction of a large industrial 
facility in Y. Pursuant to this contract, A analyzes the market of 
prospective suppliers, compiles a suggested bidders list, analyzes the 
bids received, and makes recommendations to the client. The client 
independently selects and awards the contract to supplier C for boycott 
reasons. All of A's services are performed without regard to Y's 
blacklist or any other boycott considerations, and are the type of 
services A provides clients in both boycotting and non-boycotting 
countries.
    A's actions do not constitute a refusal to do business, because, in 
the provision of pre-award services, A has not excluded the other 
bidders and because A customarily provides such services to its clients.
    (xiv) Same as (xiii), except that in compiling a list of prospective 
suppliers, A deletes suppliers he knows his client will refuse to select 
because they are blacklisted. A knows that including the names of 
blacklisted suppliers will neither enhance their chances of being 
selected nor provide his client with a useful service, the function for 
which he has been retained.
    A's actions, which amount to furnishing a so-called ``whitelist'', 
constitute refusals to do business, because A's pre-award services have 
not been furnished without regard to boycott considerations.

[[Page 757]]

    (xv) A, a U.S. construction firm, provides its boycotting country 
client with a permissible list of prospective suppliers, B, C, D, and E. 
The client independently selects and awards the contract to C, for 
boycott reasons, and then requests A to advise C of his selection, 
negotiate the contract with C, arrange for the shipment, and inspect the 
goods upon arrival. A knows that C was chosen by the client for boycott 
reasons.
    A's action in complying with his client's direction is a refusal to 
do business, because A's post-award actions carry out his client's 
boycott-based decision. (Note: Whether A's action comes within the 
unilateral selection exception depends upon factors discussed in Sec.
760.3(d) of this part).
    (xvi) Same as (xv), except that A is building the project on a 
turnkey basis and will retain title until completion. The client 
instructs A to contract only with C.
    A's action in contracting with C constitutes a refusal to do 
business, because it is action that excludes blacklisted persons from 
the transaction for boycott reasons. (Note: Whether A's action comes 
within the unilateral selection exception depends upon factors discussed 
in Sec.760.3(d) of this part).
    (xvii) A, a U.S. exporter of machine tools, receives an order for 
drill presses from boycotting country Y. The cover letter from Y's 
procurement official states that A was selected over other U.S. 
manufacturers in part because A is not on Y's blacklist.
    A's action in filling this order is not a refusal to do business, 
because A has not excluded anyone from the transaction.
    (xviii) A, a U.S. engineering firm under contract to construct a dam 
in boycotting country Y, compiles, on a non-boycott basis, a list of 
potential heavy equipment suppliers, including information on their 
qualifications and prior experience. A then solicits bids from the top 
three firms on its list--B, C, and D--because they are the best 
qualified. None of them happens to be blacklisted. A does not solicit 
bids from E, F, or G, the next three firms on the list, one of whom is 
on Y's blacklist.
    A's decision to solicit bids from only B, C, and D, is not a refusal 
to do business with any person, because the solicited bidders were not 
selected for boycott reasons.
    (xix) U.S. bank A receives a letter of credit in favor of U.S. 
beneficiary B. The letter of credit requires B to certify that he is not 
blacklisted. B meets all other conditions of the letter of credit but 
refuses to certify as to his blacklist status. A refuses to pay B on the 
letter of credit solely because B refuses to certify as to his blacklist 
status.
    A has refused to do business with another person pursuant to a 
boycott requirement or request.
    (xx) U.S. bank A receives a letter of credit in favor of U.S. 
beneficiary B. The letter of credit requires B to provide a 
certification from the steamship line that the vessel carrying the goods 
is not blacklisted. B seeks payment from A and meets all other 
conditions of the letter of credit but refuses or is unable to provide 
the certification from the steamship line about the vessel's blacklist 
status. A refuses to pay B on the letter of credit solely because B 
cannot or will not provide the certification.
    A has required another person to refuse to do business pursuant to a 
boycott requirement or request by insisting that B obtain such a 
certificate. (Either A or B may request an amendment to the letter of 
credit substituting a certificate of vessel eligibility, however. See 
Example (xxi) below).
    (xxi) U.S. bank A receives a letter of credit from a bank in 
boycotting country Y in favor of U.S. beneficiary B. The letter of 
credit requires B to provide a certification from the steamship line 
that the vessel carrying the goods is eligible to enter the ports in Y. 
B seeks payment from A and meets all other conditions of the letter of 
credit. A refuses to pay B solely because B cannot or will not provide 
the certification.
    A has neither refused, nor required another person to refuse, to do 
business with another person pursuant to a boycott requirement or 
request because a request for a vessel eligibility certificate to be 
furnished by the steamship line is not a prohibited condition. (See 
supplement no. 1 to this part, paragraph (I)(B), ``Shipping 
Certificate''.)
    (xxii) U.S. bank A confirms a letter of credit in favor of U.S. 
beneficiary B. The letter of credit contains a requirement that B 
certify that he is not blacklisted. B presents the letter of credit to 
U.S. bank C, a correspondent of bank A. B does not present the 
certificate of blacklist status to bank C, but, in accordance with these 
rules, bank C pays B, and then presents the letter of credit and 
documentation to bank A for reimbursement. Bank A refuses to reimburse 
bank C because the blacklist certification of B is not included in the 
documentation.
    A has required another person to refuse to do business with a person 
pursuant to a boycott requirement or request by insisting that C obtain 
the certificate from B.
    (xxiii) U.S. bank A receives a letter of credit in favor of U.S. 
beneficiary B. The letter of credit requires B to certify that he is not 
blacklisted. B fails to provide such a certification when he presents 
the documents to A for payment. A notifies B that the certification has 
not been submitted.
    A has not refused to do business with another person pursuant to a 
boycott requirement by notifying B of the omitted certificate. A may not 
refuse to pay on the letter of credit, however, if B states that B will 
not provide such a certificate.
    (xxiv) U.S. bank A receives a letter of credit in favor of U.S. 
beneficiary B from the issuing bank for the purpose of confirmation,

[[Page 758]]

negotiation or payment. The letter of credit requires B to certify that 
he is not blacklisted. A notifies B that it is contrary to the policy of 
A to handle letters of credit containing this condition and that, unless 
an amendment is obtained deleting this condition, A will not implement 
the letter of credit.
    A has not refused to do business with another person pursuant to a 
boycott requirement, because A has indicated its policy against 
implementing the letter of credit containing the term without regard to 
B's ability or willingness to furnish such a certificate.

                   Agreements To Refuse To Do Business

    (i) A, a U.S. construction firm, is retained by an agency of 
boycotting country Y to build a primary school. The proposed contract 
contains a clause stating that A ``may not use goods or services in the 
project that are produced or provided by any person restricted from 
having a business relationship with country Y by reason of Y's boycott 
against country X''.
    A's action in entering into such a contract would constitute an 
agreement to refuse to do business, because it is an agreement to 
exclude blacklisted persons from the transaction. A may, however, 
renegotiate this clause so that it does not contain terms prohibited by 
this part.
    (ii) A, a U.S. manufacturer of commercial refrigerators and 
freezers, receives an invitation to bid from boycotting country Y. The 
tender states that the bidder must agree not to deal with companies on 
Y's blacklist. A does not know which companies are on the blacklist; 
however, A submits a bid without taking exception to the boycott 
conditions. A's bid makes no commitment regarding not dealing with 
certain companies.
    At the point when A submits its bid without taking exception to the 
boycott request in Y's tender, A has agreed to refuse to do business 
with blacklisted persons, because the terms of Y's tender require A to 
agree to refuse to do business.
    (iii) A, a U.S. construction firm, is offered a contract to perform 
engineering and construction services in connection with a project 
located in boycotting country Y. The contract contains a clause stating 
that, in the event of a contract dispute, the laws of Y will apply.
    A may enter into the contract. Agreement that the laws of boycotting 
country Y will control in resolving a contract dispute is not an 
agreement to refuse to do business.
    (iv) Same as (iii), except that the contract contains a clause that 
A and its employees will comply with the laws of boycotting country Y. A 
knows that Y has a number of boycott laws.
    Such an agreement is not, in and of itself, an agreement to refuse 
to do business. If, however, A subsequently refuses to do business with 
someone because of the laws of Y, A's action would be a refusal to do 
business.
    (v) Same as (iv), except that the contract contains a clause that A 
and its employees will comply with the laws of boycotting country Y, 
``including boycott laws.''
    A's agreeing, without qualification, to comply with local boycott 
laws constitutes an agreement to refuse to do business.
    (vi) Same as (v), except that A inserts a proviso ``except insofar 
as Y's laws conflict with U.S. laws,'' or words to that effect.
    Such an agreement is not an agreement to refuse to do business.
    (vii) A, a U.S. general contractor, is retained to construct a 
pipeline in boycotting country Y. A provision in the proposed contract 
stipulates that in purchasing equipment, supplies, and services A must 
give preference to companies located in host country Y.
    A may agree to this contract provision. Agreeing to a ``buy local'' 
contract provision is not an agreement to refuse to do business, because 
A's agreement is not made for boycott reasons.
    (viii) A, a U.S. exporter planning to sell retail goods to customers 
in boycotting country Y, enters into a contract to purchase goods 
wholesale from B, a U.S. appliance manufacturer. A's contract with B 
includes a provision stipulating that B may not use components or 
services of blacklisted companies in the manufacture of its appliances.
    A's contract constitutes a refusal to do business, because it would 
require another person, B, to refuse to do business with other persons 
for boycott reasons. B may not agree to such a contract, because it 
would be agreeing to refuse to do business with other persons for 
boycott reasons.
    (ix) Same as (viii), except that A and B reach an implicit 
understanding that B will not use components or services of blacklisted 
companies in the manufacture of goods to be exported to Y. In the 
manufacture of appliances to be sold to A for export to non-boycotting 
countries, B uses components manufactured by blacklisted companies.
    The actions of both A and B constitute agreement to refuse to do 
business. The agreement is implied by their pattern of conduct.
    (x) Boycotting country Y orders goods from U.S. company B. Y opens a 
letter of credit with foreign bank C in favor of B. The letter of credit 
specifies that negotiation of the letter of credit with a bank that 
appears on the country X boycott blacklist is prohibited. U.S. bank A, 
C's correspondent bank, advises B of the letter of credit. B presents 
documentation to bank A seeking to be paid on the letter of credit, 
without amending or otherwise taking exception to the boycott condition.

[[Page 759]]

    B has agreed to refuse to do business with blacklisted banks 
because, by presenting the letter of credit for payment, B has accepted 
all of its terms and conditions.

    (b) Discriminatory actions.

            Prohibition Against Taking Discriminatory Actions

    (1) No United States person may:
    (i) Refuse to employ or otherwise discriminate against any 
individual who is a United States person on the basis of race, religion, 
sex, or national origin;
    (ii) Discriminate against any corporation or other organization 
which is a United States person on the basis of the race, religion, sex, 
or national origin of any owner, officer, director, or employee of such 
corporation or organization;
    (iii) Knowingly agree to take any of the actions described in 
paragraph (b)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section; or
    (iv) Require or knowingly agree to require any other person to take 
any of the actions described in paragraph (b)(1)(i) and (ii) of this 
section.
    (2) This prohibition shall apply whether the discriminatory action 
is taken by a United States person on its own or in response to an 
agreement with, request from, or requirement of a boycotting country. 
This prohibition, like all others, applies only with respect to a United 
States person's activities in the interstate or foreign commerce of the 
United States and only when such activities are undertaken with intent 
to comply with, further, or support an unsanctioned foreign boycott.
    (3) The section does not supersede or limit the operation of the 
civil rights laws of the United States.

                   Examples of Discriminatory Actions

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which the taking of particular discriminatory 
actions is prohibited. They are illustrative, not comprehensive.
    (i) U.S. construction company A is awarded a contract to build an 
office complex in boycotting country Y. A, believing that employees of a 
particular religion will not be permitted to work in Y because of Y's 
boycott against country X, excludes U.S. persons of that religion from 
consideration for employment on the project.
    A's refusal to consider qualified U.S. persons of a particular 
religion for work on the project in Y constitutes a prohibited boycott-
based discriminatory action against U.S. persons on the basis of 
religion.
    (ii) Same as (i), except that a clause in the contract provides that 
``no persons of country X origin are to work on this project.''
    A's agreement constitutes a prohibited boycott-based agreement to 
discriminate against U.S. persons, among others, on the basis of 
national origin.
    (iii) Same as (i), except that a clause in the contract provides 
that ``no persons who are citizens, residents, or nationals of country X 
are to work on this project.''
    A's agreement does not constitute a boycott-based agreement to 
discriminate against U.S. persons on the basis of race, religion, sex, 
or national origin, because the clause requires exclusion on the basis 
of citizenship, residency, and nationality only.
    (iv) U.S. construction company A enters into a contract to build a 
school in boycotting country Y. Y's representative orally tells A that 
no persons of country X origin are to work on the project.
    A may not comply, because to do so would constitute discrimination 
on the basis of national origin.
    It makes no difference that A learned of Y's requirement orally. It 
makes no difference how A learns about Y's discriminatory requirement.
    (v) Boycotting country Y tenders an invitation to bid on a 
construction project in Y. The tender requires that the successful 
bidder's personnel will be interviewed and that persons of a particular 
religious faith will not be permitted to work on the project. Y's 
requirement is based on its boycott of country X, the majority of whose 
citizens are of that particular faith.
    Agreement to this provision in the tender document by a U.S. person 
would constitute a prohibited agreement to engage in boycott-based 
discrimination against U.S. persons of a particular religion.
    (vi) Same as (v), except that the tender specifies that ``women will 
not be allowed to work on this project.''
    Agreement to this provision in the tender by a U.S. person does not 
constitute a prohibited agreement to engage in boycott-based 
discrimination, because the restriction against employment of women is 
not boycott-based. Such an agreement may, however, constitute a 
violation of U.S. civil rights laws.
    (vii) A is a U.S. investment banking firm. As a condition of 
participating in an underwriting of securities to be issued by 
boycotting country Y, A is required to exclude

[[Page 760]]

investment banks owned by persons of a particular faith from 
participation in the underwriting. Y's requirement is based on its 
boycott of country X, the majority of whose citizens are of that 
particular faith.
    A's agreement to such a provision constitutes a prohibited agreement 
to engage in boycott-based discrimination against U.S. persons on the 
basis of religion. Further, if A requires others to agree to such a 
condition, A would be acting to require another person to engage in such 
discrimination.
    (viii) U.S. company A is asked by boycotting country Y to certify 
that A will not use a six-pointed star on the packaging of its products 
to be imported into Y. The requirement is part of the enforcement effort 
by Y of its boycott against country X.
    A may not so certify. The six-pointed star is a religious symbol, 
and the certification by A that it will not use such a symbol 
constitutes a statement that A will not ship products made or handled by 
persons of that religion.
    (ix) Same as (viii), except that A is asked to certify that no 
symbol of boycotted country X will appear on the packaging of its 
products imported into Y.
    Such a certification conveys no statement about any person's 
religion and, thus, does not come within this prohibition.

    (c) Furnishing information about race, religion, sex, or national 
origin.

Prohibition Against Furnishing Information About Race, Religion, Sex, or 
                             National Origin

    (1) No United States person may:
    (i) Furnish information about the race, religion, sex, or national 
origin of any United States person;
    (ii) Furnish information about the race, religion, sex, or national 
origin of any owner, officer, director, or employee of any corporation 
or other organization which is a United States person;
    (iii) Knowingly agree to furnish information about the race, 
religion, sex, or national origin of any United States person; or
    (iv) Knowingly agree to furnish information about the race, 
religion, sex, or national origin of any owner, officer, director, or 
employee of any corporation or other organization which is a United 
States person.
    (2) This prohibition shall apply whether the information is 
specifically requested or is offered voluntarily by the United States 
person. It shall also apply whether the information requested or 
volunteered is stated in the affirmative or the negative.
    (3) Information about the place of birth of or the nationality of 
the parents of a United States person comes within this prohibition, as 
does information in the form of code words or symbols which could 
identify a United States person's race, religion, sex, or national 
origin.
    (4) This prohibition, like all others, applies only with respect to 
a United States person's activities in the interstate or foreign 
commerce of the United States and only when such activities are 
undertaken with intent to comply with, further, or support an 
unsanctioned foreign boycott.

     Examples of the Prohibition Against Furnishing Discriminatory 
                               Information

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which the furnishing of discriminatory information 
is prohibited. They are illustrative, not comprehensive.
    (i) U.S. company A receives a boycott questionnaire from boycotting 
country Y asking whether it is owned or controlled by persons of a 
particular faith, whether it has any persons on its board of directors 
who are of that faith, and what the national origin of its president is. 
The information is sought for purposes of enforcing Y's boycott against 
country X, and A knows or has reason to know that the information is 
sought for that reason.
    A may not answer the questionnaire, because A would be furnishing 
information about the religion and national origin of U.S. persons for 
purposes of complying with or supporting Y's boycott against X.
    (ii) U.S. company A, located in the United States, is asked by 
boycotting country Y to certify that A has no persons of a particular 
national origin on its board of directors. A knows that Y's purpose in 
asking for the certification is to enforce its boycott against country 
X.
    A may not make such a certification, because A would be furnishing 
information about the national origin of U.S. persons for purposes of 
complying with or supporting Y's boycott against X.
    (iii) U.S. company A believes that boycotting country Y will select 
A's bid over those of other bidders if A volunteers that it has no 
shareholders, officers, or directors of a particular national origin. 
A's belief is based on its knowledge that Y generally refuses, as part 
of its boycott against country X, to do business with companies owned, 
controlled, or managed by persons of this particular national origin.

[[Page 761]]

    A may not volunteer this information, because it would be furnishing 
information about the national origin of U.S. persons for purposes of 
complying with or supporting Y's boycott against X.
    (iv) U.S. company A has a contract to construct an airport in 
boycotting country Y. Before A begins work, A is asked by Y to identify 
the national origin of its employees who will work on the site. A knows 
or has reason to know that Y is seeking this information in order to 
enforce its boycott against X.
    A may not furnish this information, because A would be providing 
information about the national origin of U.S. persons for purposes of 
complying with or supporting Y's boycott against X.
    (v) Same as (iv), except that in order to assemble its work force on 
site in Y, A sends visa forms to its employees and asks that the forms 
be returned to A for transmittal to Y's consulate or embassy. A, itself, 
furnishes no information about its employees, but merely transmits the 
visa forms back and forth.
    In performing the ministerial function of transmitting visa forms, A 
is not furnishing information about any U.S. person's race, religion, 
sex, or national origin.
    (vi) Same as (iv), except that A is asked by Y to certify that none 
of its employees in Y will be women, because Y's laws prohibit women 
from working.
    Such a certification does not constitute a prohibited furnishing of 
information about any U.S. person's sex, since the reason the 
information is sought has nothing to do with Y's boycott of X.
    (vii) U.S. company A is considering establishing an office in 
boycotting country Y. In order to register to do business in Y, A is 
asked to furnish information concerning the nationalities of its 
corporate officers and board of directors.
    A may furnish the information about the nationalities of its 
officers and directors, because in so doing A would not be furnishing 
information about the race, religion, sex, or national origin of any 
U.S. person.

    (d) Furnishing information about business relationships with 
boycotted countries or blacklisted persons.

Prohibition Against Furnishing Information About Business Relationships 
             With Boycotted Countries or Blacklisted Persons

    (1) No United States person may furnish or knowingly agree to 
furnish information concerning his or any other person's past, present 
or proposed business relationships:
    (i) With or in a boycotted country;
    (ii) With any business concern organized under the laws of a 
boycotted country;
    (iii) With any national or resident of a boycotted country; or
    (iv) With any other person who is known or believed to be restricted 
from having any business relationship with or in a boycotting country.
    (2) This prohibition shall apply:
    (i) Whether the information pertains to a business relationship 
involving a sale, purchase, or supply transaction; legal or commercial 
representation; shipping or other transportation transaction; insurance; 
investment; or any other type of business transaction or relationship; 
and
    (ii) Whether the information is directly or indirectly requested or 
is furnished on the initiative of the United States person.
    (3) This prohibition does not apply to the furnishing of normal 
business information in a commercial context. Normal business 
information may relate to factors such as financial fitness, technical 
competence, or professional experience, and may be found in documents 
normally available to the public such as annual reports, disclosure 
statements concerning securities, catalogs, promotional brochures, and 
trade and business handbooks. Such information may also appear in 
specifications or statements of experience and qualifications.
    (4) Normal business information furnished in a commercial context 
does not cease to be such simply because the party soliciting the 
information may be a boycotting country or a national or resident 
thereof. If the information is of a type which is generally sought for a 
legitimate business purpose (such as determining financial fitness, 
technical competence, or professional experience), the information may 
be furnished even if the information could be used, or without the 
knowledge of the person supplying the information is intended to be 
used, for boycott purposes. However, no information about business 
relationships with blacklisted persons or boycotted countries, their 
residents or nationals, may be furnished in response to a boycott 
request, even if the information is publicly available. Requests for 
such information from a

[[Page 762]]

boycott office will be presumed to be boycott-based.
    (5) This prohibition, like all others, applies only with respect to 
a United States person's activities in the interstate or foreign 
commerce of the United States and only when such activities are 
undertaken with intent to comply with, further, or support an 
unsanctioned foreign boycott.

              Examples Concerning Furnishing of Information

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which the furnishing of information is prohibited. 
They are illustrative, not comprehensive.
    (i) U.S. contractor A is considering bidding for a contract to build 
a dam in boycotting country Y. The invitation to bid, which appears in a 
trade journal, specifies that each bidder must state that he does not 
have any offices in boycotted country X. A knows or has reason to know 
that the requirement is boycott-based.
    A may not make this statement, because it constitutes information 
about A's business relationships with X.
    (ii) U.S. contractor A is considering bidding for a contract to 
construct a school in boycotting country Y. Each bidder is required to 
submit copies of its annual report with its bid. Since A's annual report 
describes A's worldwide operations, including the countries in which it 
does business, it necessarily discloses whether A has business relations 
with boycotted country X. A has no reason to know that its report is 
being sought for boycott purposes.
    A, in furnishing its annual report, is supplying ordinary business 
information in a commercial context.
    (iii) Same as (ii), except that accompanying the invitation to bid 
is a questionnaire from country Y's boycott office asking each bidder to 
supply a copy of its annual report.
    A may not furnish the annual report despite its public availability, 
because it would be furnishing information in response to a 
questionnaire from a boycott office.
    (iv) U.S. company A is on boycotting country Y's blacklist. For 
reasons unrelated to the boycott, A terminates its business 
relationships with boycotted country X. In exploring other marketing 
areas, A determines that boycotting country Y offers great potential. A 
is requested to complete a questionnaire from a central boycott office 
which inquires about A's business relations with X.
    A may not furnish the information, because it is information about 
A's business relationships with a boycotted country.
    (v) U.S. exporter A is seeking to sell its products to boycotting 
country Y. A is informed by Y that, as a condition of sale, A must 
certify that it has no salesmen in boycotted country X. A knows or has 
reason to know that the condition is boycott-based.
    A may not furnish the certification, because it is information about 
A's business relationships in a boycotted country.
    (vi) U.S. engineering company A receives an invitation to bid on the 
construction of a dam in boycotting country Y. As a condition of the 
bid, A is asked to certify that it does not have any offices in 
boycotted country X. A is also asked to furnish plans for other dams it 
has designed.
    A may not certify that it has no office in X, because this is 
information about its business relationships in a boycotted country. A 
may submit plans for other dams it has designed, because this is 
furnishing normal business information, in a commercial context, 
relating to A's technical competence and professional experience.
    (vii) U.S. company A, in seeking to expand its exports to boycotting 
country Y, sends a sales representative to Y for a one week trip. During 
a meeting in Y with trade association representatives, A's 
representative desires to explain that neither A nor any companies with 
which A deals has any business relationship with boycotted country X. 
The purpose of supplying such information is to ensure that A does not 
get blacklisted.
    A's representative may not volunteer this information even though A, 
for reasons unrelated to the boycott, does not deal with X, because A's 
representative would be volunteering information about A's business 
relationships with X for boycott reasons.
    (viii) U.S. company A is asked by boycotting country Y to furnish 
information concerning its business relationships with boycotted country 
X. A, knowing that Y is seeking the information for boycott purposes, 
refuses to furnish the information asked for directly, but proposes to 
respond by supplying a copy of its annual report which lists the 
countries with which A is presently doing business. A does not happen to 
be doing business with X.
    A may not respond to Y's request by supplying its annual report, 
because A knows that it would be responding to a boycott-based request 
for information about its business relationships with X.
    (ix) U.S. company A receives a letter from a central boycott office 
asking A to ``clarify'' A's operations in boycotted country X. A intends 
to continue its operations in X, but fears that not responding to the 
request will result in its being placed on boycotting country Y's 
blacklist. A knows or has reason to know that the information is sought 
for boycott reasons.

[[Page 763]]

    A may not respond to this request, because the information concerns 
its business relationships with a boycotted country.
    (x) U.S. company A, in the course of negotiating a sale of its goods 
to a buyer in boycotting country Y, is asked to certify that its 
supplier is not on Y's blacklist.
    A may not furnish the information about its supplier's blacklist 
status, because this is information about A's business relationships 
with another person who is believed to be restricted from having any 
business relationship with or in a boycotting country.
    (xi) U.S. company A has a manufacturing plant in boycotted country X 
and is on boycotting country Y's blacklist. A is seeking to establish 
operations in Y, while expanding its operations in X. A applies to Y to 
be removed from Y's blacklist. A is asked, in response, to indicate 
whether it has manufacturing facilities in X.
    A may not supply the requested information, because A would be 
furnishing information about its business relationships in a boycotted 
country.
    (xii) U.S. bank A plans to open a branch office in boycotting 
country Y. In order to do so, A is required to furnish certain 
information about its business operations, including the location of its 
other branch offices. Such information is normally sought in other 
countries where A has opened a branch office, and A does not have reason 
to know that Y is seeking the information for boycott reasons.
    A may furnish this information, even though in furnishing it A would 
disclose information about its business relationships in a boycotted 
country, because it is being furnished in a normal business context and 
A does not have reason to know that it is sought for boycott reasons.
    (xiii) U.S. architectural firm A responds to an invitation to submit 
designs for an office complex in boycotting country Y. The invitation 
states that all bidders must include information concerning similar 
types of buildings they have designed. A has not designed such buildings 
in boycotted country X. Clients frequently seek information of this type 
before engaging an architect.
    A may furnish this information, because this is furnishing normal 
business information, in a commercial context, relating to A's technical 
competence and professional experience.
    (xiv) U.S. oil company A distributes to potential customers 
promotional brochures and catalogs which give background information on 
A's past projects. A does not have business dealings with boycotted 
country X. The brochures, which are identical to those which A uses 
throughout the world, list those countries in which A does or has done 
business. In soliciting potential customers in boycotting country Y, A 
desires to distribute copies of its brochures.
    A may do so, because this is furnishing normal business information, 
in a commercial context, relating to professional experience.
    (xv) U.S. company A is interested in doing business with boycotting 
country Y. A wants to ask Y's Ministry of Trade whether, and if so why, 
A is on Y's blacklist or is otherwise restricted for boycott reasons 
from doing business with Y.
    A may make this limited inquiry, because it does not constitute 
furnishing information.
    (xvi) U.S. company A is asked by boycotting country Y to certify 
that it is not owned by subjects or nationals of boycotted country X and 
that it is not resident in boycotted country X.
    A may not furnish the certification, because it is information about 
A's business relationships with or in a boycotted country, or with 
nationals of a boycotted country.
    (xvii) U.S. company A, a manufacturer of certain patented products, 
desires to register its patents in boycotting country Y. A receives a 
power of attorney form required to register its patents. The form 
contains a question regarding A's business relationships with or in 
boycotted country X. A has no business relationships with X and knows or 
has reason to know that the information is sought for boycott reasons.
    A may not answer the question, because A would be furnishing 
information about its business relationships with or in a boycotted 
country.
    (xviii) U.S. company A is asked by boycotting country Y to certify 
that it is not the mother company, sister company, subsidiary, or branch 
of any blacklisted company, and that it is not in any way affiliated 
with any blacklisted company.
    A may not furnish the certification, because it is information about 
whether A has a business relationship with another person who is known 
or believed to be restricted from having any business relationship with 
or in a boycotting country.

    (e) Information concerning association with charitable and fraternal 
organizations.

   Prohibition Against Furnishing Information About Associations With 
                 Charitable and Fraternal Organizations

    (1) No United States person may furnish or knowingly agree to 
furnish information about whether any person is a member of, has made 
contributions to, or is otherwise associated with or involved in the 
activities of any charitable or fraternal organization which supports a 
boycotted country.

[[Page 764]]

    (2) This prohibition shall apply whether:
    (i) The information concerns association with or involvement in any 
charitable or fraternal organization which (a) has, as one of its stated 
purposes, the support of a boycotted country through financial 
contributions or other means, or (b) undertakes, as a major 
organizational activity, to offer financial or other support to a 
boycotted country;
    (ii) The information is directly or indirectly requested or is 
furnished on the initiative of the United States person; or
    (iii) The information requested or volunteered concerns membership 
in, financial contributions to, or any other type of association with or 
involvement in the activities of such charitable or fraternal 
organization.
    (3) This prohibition does not prohibit the furnishing of normal 
business information in a commercial context as defined in paragraph (d) 
of this section.
    (4) This prohibition, like all others, applies only with respect to 
a United States person's activities in the interstate or foreign 
commerce of the United States and only when such activities are 
undertaken with intent to comply with, further, or support an 
unsanctioned foreign boycott.

      Examples of Prohibition Against Furnishing Information About 
         Associations With Charitable or Fraternal Organizations

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which the furnishing of information concerning 
associations with charitable or fraternal organizations is prohibited. 
They are illustrative, not comprehensive.
    (i) U.S. engineering firm A receives an invitation to bid from 
boycotting country Y. The invitation includes a request to supply 
information concerning any association which A's officers have with 
charitable organization B, an organization which is known by A to 
contribute financial support to boycotted country X. A knows or has 
reason to know that the information is sought for boycott reasons.
    A may not furnish the information.
    (ii) U.S. construction company A, in an effort to establish business 
dealings with boycotting country Y, proposes to furnish information to Y 
showing that no members of its board of directors are in any way 
associated with charitable organizations which support boycotted country 
X. A's purpose is to avoid any possibility of its being blacklisted by 
Y.
    A may not furnish the information, because A's purpose in doing so 
is boycott-based. It makes no difference that no specific request for 
the information has been made by Y.
    (iii) A, a citizen of the United States, is applying for a teaching 
position in a school in boycotting country Y. In connection with his 
application, A furnishes a resume which happens to disclose his 
affiliation with charitable organizations. A does so completely without 
reference to Y's boycott and without knowledge of any boycott 
requirement of Y that pertains to A's application for employment.
    The furnishing of a resume by A is not a boycott-related furnishing 
of information about his association with charitable organizations which 
support boycotted country X.

    (f) Letters of credit.

Prohibition Against Implementing Letters of Credit Containing Prohibited 
                       Conditions or Requirements

    (1) No United States person may pay, honor, confirm, or otherwise 
implement a letter of credit which contains a condition or requirement 
compliance with which is prohibited by this part, nor shall any United 
States person, as a result of the application of this section, be 
obligated to pay, honor or otherwise implement such a letter of credit.
    (2) For purposes of this section, ``implementing'' a letter of 
credit includes:
    (i) Issuing or opening a letter of credit at the request of a 
customer;
    (ii) Honoring, by accepting as being a valid instrument of credit, 
any letter of credit;
    (iii) Paying, under a letter of credit, a draft or other demand for 
payment by the beneficiary;
    (iv) Confirming a letter of credit by agreeing to be responsible for 
payment to the beneficiary in response to a request by the issuer;
    (v) Negotiating a letter of credit by voluntarily purchasing a draft 
from a beneficiary and presenting such draft for reimbursement to the 
issuer or the confirmer of the letter of credit; and
    (vi) Taking any other action to implement a letter of credit.
    (3) In the standard international letter of credit transaction 
facilitating

[[Page 765]]

payment for the export of goods from the United States, a bank in a 
foreign country may be requested by its customer to issue a revocable or 
irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the United States exporter. The 
customer usually requires, and the letter of credit provides, that the 
issuing (or a confirming) bank will make payment to the beneficiary 
against the bank's receipt of the documentation specified in the letter 
of credit. Such documentation usually includes commercial and consular 
invoices, a bill of lading, and evidence of insurance, but it may also 
include other required certifications or documentary assurances such as 
the origin of the goods and information relating to the carrier or 
insurer of the shipment.
    Banks usually will not accept drafts for payment unless the 
documents submitted therewith comply with the terms and conditions of 
the letter of credit.
    (4) A United States person is not prohibited under this section from 
advising a beneficiary of the existence of a letter of credit in his 
favor, or from taking ministerial actions to dispose of a letter of 
credit which it is prohibited from implementing.
    (5) Compliance with this section shall provide an absolute defense 
in any action brought to compel payment of, honoring of, or other 
implementation of a letter of credit, or for damages resulting from 
failure to pay or otherwise honor or implement the letter of credit. 
This section shall not otherwise relieve any person from any obligations 
or other liabilities he may incur under other laws or regulations, 
except as may be explicitly provided in this section.

             Letters of Credit to Which This Section Applies

    (6) This prohibition, like all others, applies only with respect to 
a United States person's activities taken with intent to comply with, 
further, or support an unsanctioned foreign boycott. In addition, it 
applies only when the transaction to which the letter of credit applies 
is in United States commerce and the beneficiary is a United States 
person.

        Implementation of Letters of Credit in the United States

    (7) A letter of credit implemented in the United States by a United 
States person located in the United States, including a permanent United 
States establishment of a foreign bank, will be presumed to apply to a 
transaction in United States commerce and to be in favor of a United 
States beneficiary where the letter of credit specifies a United States 
address for the beneficiary. These presumptions may be rebutted by facts 
which could reasonably lead the bank to conclude that the beneficiary is 
not a United States person or that the underlying transaction is not in 
United States commerce.
    (8) Where a letter of credit implemented in the United States by a 
United States person located in the United States does not specify a 
United States address for the beneficiary, the beneficiary will be 
presumed to be other than a United States person. This presumption may 
be rebutted by facts which could reasonably lead the bank to conclude 
that the beneficiary is a United States person despite the foreign 
address.

      Implementation of Letters of Credit Outside the United States

    (9) A letter of credit implemented outside the United States by a 
United States person located outside the United States will be presumed 
to apply to a transaction in United States commerce and to be in favor 
of a United States beneficiary where the letter of credit specifies a 
United States address for the beneficiary and calls for documents 
indicating shipment from the United States or otherwise indicating that 
the goods are of United States origin. These presumptions may be 
rebutted by facts which could reasonably lead the bank to conclude that 
the beneficiary is not a United States person or that the underlying 
transaction is not in United States commerce.
    (10) Where a letter of credit implemented outside the United States 
by a United States person located outside the United States does not 
specify a

[[Page 766]]

United States address for the beneficiary, the beneficiary will be 
presumed to be other than a United States person. In addition, where 
such a letter of credit does not call for documents indicating shipment 
from the United States or otherwise indicating that the goods are of 
United States origin, the transaction to which it applies will be 
presumed to be outside United States commerce. The presumption that the 
beneficiary is other than a United States person may be rebutted by 
facts which could reasonably lead the bank to conclude that the 
beneficiary is a United States person. The presumption that the 
transaction to which the letter of credit applies is outside United 
States commerce may be rebutted by facts which could reasonably lead the 
bank to conclude that the underlying transaction is in United States 
commerce.

   Examples of the Prohibition Against Implementing Letters of Credit

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which this section applies to the implementation of 
a letter of credit and in which such implementation is prohibited. They 
are illustrative, not comprehensive.

      Implementation of Letters of Credit in United States Commerce

    (i) A, a U.S. bank located in the United States, opens a letter of 
credit in the United States in favor of B, a foreign company located 
outside the United States. The letter of credit specifies a non-U.S. 
address for the beneficiary.
    The beneficiary is presumed to be other than a U.S. person, because 
it does not have a U.S. address. The presumption may be rebutted by 
facts showing that A could reasonably conclude that the beneficiary is a 
U.S. person despite the foreign address.
    (ii) A, a branch of a foreign bank located in the United States, 
opens a letter of credit in favor of B, a foreign company located 
outside the United States. The letter of credit specifies a non-U.S. 
address for the beneficiary.
    The beneficiary is presumed to be other than a U.S.person, because 
it does not have a U.S. address. The presumption may be rebutted by 
facts showing that A could reasonably conclude that the beneficiary is a 
U.S. person despite the foreign address.
    (iii) A, a U.S. bank branch located outside the United States, opens 
a letter of credit in favor of B, a person with a U.S. address. The 
letter of credit calls for documents indicating shipment of goods from 
the United States.
    The letter of credit is presumed to apply to a transaction in U.S. 
commerce and to be in favor of a U.S. beneficiary because the letter of 
credit specifies a U.S. address for the beneficiary and calls for 
documents indicating that the goods will be shipped from the United 
States. These presumptions may be rebutted by facts showing that A could 
reasonably conclude that the beneficiary is not a U.S. person or that 
the underlying transaction is not in U.S. commerce.
    (iv) A, a U.S. bank branch located outside the United States, opens 
a letter of credit which specifies a beneficiary, B, with an address 
outside the United States and calls for documents indicating that the 
goods are of U.S.-origin. A knows or has reason to know that although B 
has an address outside the United States, B is a U.S. person.
    The letter of credit is presumed to apply to a transaction in U.S. 
commerce, because the letter of credit calls for shipment of U.S.-origin 
goods. In addition, the letter of credit is presumed to be in favor of a 
beneficiary who is a U.S. person, because A knows or has reason to know 
that the beneficiary is a U.S. person despite the foreign address.
    (v) A, a U.S. bank branch located outside the United States, opens a 
letter of credit which specifies a beneficiary with a U.S. address. The 
letter of credit calls for documents indicating shipment of foreign-
origin goods.
    The letter of credit is presumed to be in favor of a U.S. 
beneficiary but to apply to a transaction outside U.S. commerce, because 
it calls for documents indicating shipment of foreign-origin goods. The 
presumption of non-U.S. commerce may be rebutted by facts showing that A 
could reasonably conclude that the underlying transaction involves 
shipment of U.S.-origin goods or goods from the United States.

           Prohibition Against Implementing Letters of Credit

    (i) Boycotting country Y orders goods from U.S. company B. Y opens a 
letter of credit with foreign bank C in favor of B. The letter of credit 
specifies as a condition of payment that B certify that it does not do 
business with boycotted country X. Foreign bank C forwards the letter of 
credit it has opened to U.S. bank A for confirmation.
    A may not confirm or otherwise implement this letter of credit, 
because it contains a condition with which a U.S. person may not comply.
    (ii) Same as (i), except U.S. bank A desires to advise the 
beneficiary, U.S. company B, of the letter of credit.
    A may do so, because advising the beneficiary of the letter of 
credit (including the term which prevents A from implementing

[[Page 767]]

it) is not implementation of the letter of credit.
    (iii) Same as (i), except foreign bank C sends a telegram to U.S. 
bank A stating the major terms and conditions of the letter of credit. 
The telegram does not reflect the boycott provision. Subsequently, C 
mails to A documents setting forth the terms and conditions of the 
letter of credit, including the prohibited boycott condition.
    A may not further implement the letter of credit after it receives 
the documents, because they reflect the prohibited boycott condition in 
the letter of credit. A may advise the beneficiary and C of the 
existence of the letter of credit (including the boycott term), and may 
perform any essentially ministerial acts necessary to dispose of the 
letter of credit.
    (iv) Same as (iii), except that U.S. company B, based in part on 
information received from U.S. bank A, desires to obtain an amendment to 
the letter of credit which would eliminate or nullify the language in 
the letter of credit which prevents A from paying or otherwise 
implementing it.
    Either company B or bank A may undertake, and the other may 
cooperate and assist in, this endeavor. A could then pay or otherwise 
implement the revised letter of credit, so long as the original 
prohibited boycott condition is of no force or effect.
    (v) Boycotting country Y requests a foreign bank in Y to open a 
letter of credit to effect payment for goods to be shipped by U.S. 
supplier B, the beneficiary of the letter of credit. The letter of 
credit contains prohibited boycott clauses. The foreign bank forwards a 
copy of the letter of credit to its branch office A, in the United 
States.
    A may advise the beneficiary but may not implement the letter of 
credit, because it contains prohibited boycott conditions.
    (vi) Boycotting country Y orders goods from U.S. company B. U.S. 
bank A is asked to implement, for the benefit of B, a letter of credit 
which contains a clause requiring documentation that the goods shipped 
are not of boycotted country X origin.
    A may not implement the letter of credit with a prohibited 
condition, and may accept only a positive certificate of origin as 
satisfactory documentation. (See Sec.760.3(c) on ``Import and Shipping 
Document Requirements.'')
    (vii) [Reserved]
    (viii) B is a foreign bank located outside the United States. B 
maintains an account with U.S. bank A, located in the United States. A 
letter of credit issued by B in favor of a U.S. beneficiary provides 
that any negotiating bank may obtain reimbursement from A by certifying 
that all the terms and conditions of the letter of credit have been met 
and then drawing against B's account. B notifies A by cable of the 
issuance of a letter of credit and the existence of reimbursement 
authorization; A does not receive a copy of the letter of credit.
    A may reimburse any negotiating bank, even when the underlying 
letter of credit contains a prohibited boycott condition, because A does 
not know or have reason to know that the letter of credit contains a 
prohibited boycott condition.
    (ix) Same as (viii), except that foreign bank B forwards a copy of 
the letter of credit to U.S. bank A, which then becomes aware of the 
prohibited boycott clause.
    A may not thereafter reimburse a negotiating bank or in any way 
further implement the letter of credit, because it knows of the 
prohibited boycott condition.
    (x) Boycotting country Y orders goods from U.S. exporter B and 
requests a foreign bank in Y to open a letter of credit in favor of B to 
cover the cost. The letter of credit contains a prohibited boycott 
clause. The foreign bank asks U.S. bank A to advise and confirm the 
letter of credit. Through inadvertence, A does not notice the prohibited 
clause and confirms the letter of credit. A thereafter notices the 
clause and then refuses to honor B's draft against the letter of credit. 
B sues bank A for payment.
    A has an absolute defense against the obligation to make payment 
under this letter of credit. (Note: Examples (ix) and (x) do not alter 
any other obligations or liabilities of the parties under appropriate 
law.)
    (xi) [Reserved]
    (xii) Boycotting country Y orders goods from U.S. company B. A 
letter of credit which contains a prohibited boycott clause is opened in 
favor of B by a foreign bank in Y. The foreign bank asks U.S. bank A to 
advise and confirm the letter of credit, which it forwards to A.
    A may advise B that it has received the letter of credit (including 
the boycott term), but may not confirm the letter of credit with the 
prohibited clause.
    (xiii) Same as (xii), except U.S. bank A fails to tell B that it 
cannot process the letter of credit. B requests payment.
    A may not pay. If the prohibited language is eliminated or nullified 
as the result of renegotiation, A may then pay or otherwise implement 
the revised letter of credit.
    (xiv) U.S. bank A receives a letter of credit in favor of U.S. 
beneficiary B. The letter of credit requires B to certify that he is not 
blacklisted.
    A may implement such a letter of credit, but it may not insist that 
the certification be furnished, because by so insisting it would be 
refusing to do business with a blacklisted person in compliance with a 
boycott.
    (xv) A, a U.S. bank located in the U.S. opens a letter of credit in 
favor of U.S. beneficiary B for B's sale of goods to boycotting country 
Y. The letter of credit contains no

[[Page 768]]

boycott conditions, but A knows that Y customarily requires the seller 
of goods to certify that it has dealt with no blacklisted supplier. A, 
therefore, instructs B that it will not make payment under the letter of 
credit unless B makes such a certification.
    A's action in requiring the certification from B constitutes action 
to require another person to refuse to do business with blacklisted 
persons.
    (xvi) A, a U.S. bank located in the U.S., opens a letter of credit 
in favor of U.S. beneficiary B for B's sale of goods to boycotting 
country Y. The letter of credit contains no boycott conditions, but A 
has actual knowledge that B has agreed to supply a certification to Y 
that it has not dealt with blacklisted firms, as a condition of 
receiving the letter of credit in its favor.
    A may not implement the letter of credit, because it knows that an 
implicit condition of the credit is a condition with which B may not 
legally comply.
    (xvii) Boycotting country Y orders goods from U.S. company B. Y 
opens a letter of credit with foreign bank C in favor of B. The letter 
of credit includes the statement, ``Do not negotiate with blacklisted 
banks.'' C forwards the letter of credit it has opened to U.S. bank A 
for confirmation.
    A may not confirm or otherwise implement this letter of credit, 
because it contains a condition with which a U.S. person may not comply.

Sec.760.3  Exceptions to prohibitions.

    (a) Import requirements of a boycotting country.

       Compliance With Import Requirements of a Boycotting Country

    (1) A United States person, in supplying goods or services to a 
boycotting country, or to a national or resident of a boycotting 
country, may comply or agree to comply with requirements of such 
boycotting country which prohibit the import of:
    (i) Goods or services from the boycotted country;
    (ii) Goods produced or services provided by any business concern 
organized under the laws of the boycotted country; or
    (iii) Goods produced or services provided by nationals or residents 
of the boycotted country.
    (2) A United States person may comply or agree to comply with such 
import requirements whether or not he has received a specific request to 
comply. By its terms, this exception applies only to transactions 
involving imports into a boycotting country. A United States person may 
not, under this exception, refuse on an across-the-board basis to do 
business with a boycotted country or a national or resident of a 
boycotted country.
    (3) In taking action within the scope of this exception, a United 
States person is limited in the types of boycott-related information he 
can supply. (See Sec.760.2(d) of this part on ``Furnishing Information 
About Business Relationships with Boycotted Countries or Blacklisted 
Persons'' and paragraph (c) of this section on ``Import and Shipping 
Document Requirements.'')

 Examples of Compliance With Import Requirements of a Boycotting Country

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which compliance with the import requirements of a 
boycotting country is permissible. They are illustrative, not 
comprehensive.
    (i) A, a U.S. manufacturer, receives an order from boycotting 
country Y for its products. Country X is boycotted by country Y, and the 
import laws of Y prohibit the importation of goods produced or 
manufactured in X. In filling this type of order, A would usually 
include some component parts produced in X.
    For the purpose of filling this order, A may substitute comparable 
component parts in place of parts produced in X, because the import laws 
of Y prohibit the importation of goods manufactured in X.
    (ii) Same as (i), except that A's contract with Y expressly provides 
that in fulfilling the contract A ``may not include parts or components 
produced or manufactured in boycotted country X.''
    A may agree to and comply with this contract provision, because Y 
prohibits the importation of goods from X. However, A may not furnish 
negative certifications regarding the origin of components in response 
to import and shipping document requirements.
    (iii) A, a U.S. building contractor, is awarded a contract to 
construct a plant in boycotting country Y. A accepts bids on goods 
required under the contract, and the lowest bid is made by B, a business 
concern organized under the laws of X, a country boycotted by Y. Y 
prohibits the import of goods produced by companies organized under the 
laws of X.
    For purposes of this contract, A may reject B's bid and accept 
another, because B's goods

[[Page 769]]

would be refused entry into Y because of Y's boycott against X.
    (iv) Same as (iii), except that A also rejects the low bid by B for 
work on a construction project in country M, a country not boycotted by 
Y.
    This exception does not apply, because A's action is not taken in 
order to comply with Y's requirements prohibiting the import of products 
from boycotted country X.
    (v) A, a U.S. management consulting firm, contracts to provide 
services to boycotting country Y. Y requests that A not employ residents 
or nationals of boycotted country X to provide those services.
    A may agree, as a condition of the contract, not to have services 
furnished by nationals or residents of X, because importation of such 
services is prohibited by Y.
    (vi) A, a U.S. company, is negotiating a contract to supply machine 
tools to boycotting country Y. Y insists that the contract contain a 
provision whereby A agrees that none of the machine tools will be 
produced by any business concern owned by nationals of boycotted country 
X, even if the business concern is organized under the laws of a non-
boycotted country.
    A may not agree to this provision, because it is a restriction on 
the import of goods produced by business concerns owned by nationals of 
a boycotted country even if the business concerns themselves are 
organized under the laws of a non-boycotted country.

    (b) Shipment of goods to a boycotting country.

   Compliance With Requirements Regarding the Shipment of Goods to a 
                           Boycotting Country

    (1) A United States person, in shipping goods to a boycotting 
country, may comply or agree to comply with requirements of that country 
which prohibit the shipment of goods:
    (i) On a carrier of the boycotted country; or
    (ii) By a route other than that prescribed by the boycotting country 
or the recipient of the shipment.
    (2) A specific request that a United States person comply or agree 
to comply with requirements concerning the use of carriers of a 
boycotted country is not necessary if the United States person knows, or 
has reason to know, that the use of such carriers for shipping goods to 
the boycotting country is prohibited by requirements of the boycotting 
country. This exception applies whether a boycotting country or the 
purchaser of the shipment:
    (i) Explicitly states that the shipment should not pass through a 
port of the boycotted country; or
    (ii) Affirmatively describes a route of shipment that does not 
include a port in the boycotted country.
    (3) For purposes of this exception, the term carrier of a boycotted 
country means a carrier which flies the flag of a boycotted country or 
which is owned, chartered, leased, or operated by a boycotted country or 
by nationals or residents of a boycotted country.

 Examples of Compliance With the Shipping Requirements of a Boycotting 
                                 Country

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which compliance with import and shipping document 
requirements of a boycotting country is permissible. They are 
illustrative, not comprehensive.
    (i) A is a U.S. exporter from whom boycotting country Y is importing 
goods. Y directs that the goods not pass through a port of boycotted 
country X.
    A may comply with Y's shipping instructions, because they pertain to 
the route of shipment of goods being shipped to Y.
    (ii) A, a U.S. fertilizer manufacturer, receives an order from 
boycotting country Y for fertilizer. Y specifies in the order that A may 
not ship the fertilizer on a carrier of boycotted country X.
    A may comply with this request, because it pertains to the carrier 
of a boycotted country.
    (iii) B, a resident of boycotting country Y, orders textile goods 
from A, a U.S. distributor, specifying that the shipment must not be 
made on a carrier owned or leased by nationals of boycotted country X 
and that the carrier must not pass through a port of country X enroute 
to Y.
    A may comply or agree to comply with these requests, because they 
pertain to the shipment of goods to Y on a carrier of a boycotted 
country and the route such shipment will take.
    (iv) Boycotting country Y orders goods from A, a U.S. retail 
merchant. The order specifies that the goods shipped by A ``may not be 
shipped on a carrier registered in or owned by boycotted country X.''
    A may agree to this contract provision, because it pertains to the 
carrier of a boycotted country.
    (v) Boycotting country Y orders goods from A, a U.S. pharmaceutical 
company, and requests that the shipment not pass through a port of 
country P, which is not a country boycotted by Y.
    This exception does not apply in a non-boycotting situation. A may 
comply with the shipping instructions of Y, because in

[[Page 770]]

doing so he would not violate any prohibition of this part.
    (vi) Boycotting country Y orders goods from A, a U.S. manufacturer. 
The order specifies that goods shipped by A ``must not be shipped on 
vessels blacklisted by country Y''.
    A may not agree to comply with this condition because it is not a 
restriction limited to the use of carriers of the boycotted country.

    (c) Import and shipping document requirements.

     Compliance With Import and Shipping Document Requirements of a 
                           Boycotting Country

    (1) A United States person, in shipping goods to a boycotting 
country, may comply or agree to comply with import and shipping document 
requirements of that country, with respect to:
    (i) The country or origin of the goods;
    (ii) The name and nationality of the carrier;
    (iii) The route of the shipment;
    (iv) The name, residence, or address of the supplier of the 
shipment;
    (v) The name, residence, or address of the provider of other 
services.
    (2) Such information must be stated in positive, non-blacklisting, 
non-exclusionary terms except for information with respect to the names 
or nationalities of carriers or routes of shipment, which may continue 
to be stated in negative terms in conjunction with shipments to a 
boycotting country, in order to comply with precautionary requirements 
protecting against war risks or confiscation.

  Examples of Compliance With Import and Shipping Document Requirements

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which compliance with the import requirements of a 
boycotting country is permissible. They are illustrative, not 
comprehensive.
    (i) Boycotting country Y contracts with A, a U.S. petroleum 
equipment manufacturer, for certain equipment. Y requires that goods 
being imported into Y must be accompanied by a certification that the 
goods being supplied did not originate in boycotted country X.
    A may not supply such a certification in negative terms but may 
identify instead the country of origin of the goods in positive terms 
only.
    (ii) Same as (i), except that Y requires that the shipping 
documentation accompanying the goods specify the country of origin of 
the goods.
    A may furnish the information.
    (iii) [Reserved]
    (iv) A, a U.S. apparel manufacturer, has contracted to sell certain 
of its products to B, a national of boycotting country Y. The form that 
must be submitted to customs officials of Y requires the shipper to 
certify that the goods contained in the shipment have not been supplied 
by ``blacklisted'' persons.
    A may not furnish the information in negative terms but may certify, 
in positive terms only, the name of the supplier of the goods.
    (v) Same as (iv), except the customs form requires certification 
that the insurer and freight forwarder used are not ``blacklisted.''
    A may not comply with the request but may supply a certification 
stating, in positive terms only, the names of the insurer and freight 
forwarder.
    (vi) A, a U.S. petrochemical manufacturer, executes a sales contract 
with B, a resident of boycotting country Y. A provision of A's contract 
with B requires that the bill of lading and other shipping documents 
contain certifications that the goods have not been shipped on a 
``blacklisted'' carrier.
    A may not agree to supply a certification that the carrier is not 
``blacklisted'' but may certify the name of the carrier in positive 
terms only.
    (vii) Same as (vi), except that the contract requires certification 
that the goods will not be shipped on a carrier which flies the flag of, 
or is owned, chartered, leased, or operated by boycotted country X, or 
by nationals or residents of X.
    Such a certification, which is a reasonable requirement to protect 
against war risks or confiscation, may be furnished at any time.
    (viii) Same as (vi), except that the contract requires that the 
shipping documents certify the name of the carrier being used.
    A may, at any time, supply or agree to supply the requested 
documentation regarding the name of the carrier, either in negative or 
positive terms.
    (ix) Same as (vi), except that the contract requires a certification 
that the carrier will not call at a port in boycotted country X before 
making delivery in Y.
    Such a certification, which is a reasonable requirement to protect 
against war risks or confiscation, may be furnished at any time.
    (x) Same as (vi), except that the contract requires that the 
shipping documents indicate the name of the insurer and freight 
forwarder.
    A may comply at any time, because the statement is not required to 
be made in negative or blacklisting terms.

[[Page 771]]

    (xi) A, a U.S. exporter, is negotiating a contract to sell bicycles 
to boycotting country Y. Y insists that A agree to certify that the 
goods will not be shipped on a vessel which has ever called at a port in 
boycotted country X.
    As distinguished from a certification that goods will not be shipped 
on a vessel which will call enroute at a port of boycotted country X, 
such a certification is not a reasonable requirement to protect against 
war risks or confiscation, and, hence, may not be supplied.
    (xii) Same as (xi), except that Y insists that A agree to certify 
that the goods will not be shipped on a carrier that is ineligible to 
enter Y's waters.
    Such a certification, which is not a reasonable requirement to 
protect against war risks or confiscation may not be supplied.

    (d) Unilateral and specific selection.

            Compliance with Unilateral and Specific Selection

    (1) A United States person may comply or agree to comply in the 
normal course of business with the unilateral and specific selection by 
a boycotting country, a national of a boycotting country, or a resident 
of a boycotting country (including a United States person who is a bona 
fide resident of a boycotting country) of carriers, insurers, suppliers 
of services to be performed within the boycotting country, or specific 
goods, provided that with respect to services, it is necessary and 
customary that a not insignificant part of the services be performed 
within the boycotting country. With respect to goods, the items, in the 
normal course of business, must be identifiable as to their source or 
origin at the time of their entry into the boycotting country by (a) 
uniqueness of design or appearance or (b) trademark, trade name, or 
other identification normally on the items themselves, including their 
packaging.
    (2) This exception pertains to what is permissible for a United 
States person who is the recipient of a unilateral and specific 
selection of goods or services to be furnished by a third person. It 
does not pertain to whether the act of making such a selection is 
permitted; that question is covered, with respect to United States 
persons, in paragraph (g) of this section on ``Compliance with Local 
Law.'' Nor does it pertain to the United States person who is the 
recipient of an order to supply its own goods or services. Nothing in 
this part prohibits or restricts a United States person from filling an 
order himself, even if he is selected by the buyer on a boycott basis 
(e.g., because he is not blacklisted), so long as he does not himself 
take any action prohibited by this part.

           Unilateral and Specific Character of the Selection

    (3) In order for this exception to apply, the selection with which a 
United States person wishes to comply must be unilateral and specific.
    (4) A ``specific'' selection is one which is stated in the 
affirmative and which specifies a particular supplier of goods or 
services.
    (5) A ``unilateral'' selection is one in which the discretion in 
making the selection is exercised by the boycotting country buyer. If 
the United States person who receives a unilateral selection has 
provided the buyer with any boycott-based assistance (including 
information for purposes of helping the buyer select someone on a 
boycott basis), then the buyer's selection is not unilateral, and 
compliance with that selection by a United States person does not come 
within this exception.
    (6) The provision of so-called ``pre-selection'' or ``pre-award'' 
services, such as providing lists of qualified suppliers, 
subcontractors, or bidders, does not, in and of itself, destroy the 
unilateral character of a selection, provided such services are not 
boycott-based. Lists of qualified suppliers, for example, must not 
exclude anyone because he is blacklisted. Moreover, such services must 
be of the type customarily provided in similar transactions by the firm 
(or industry of which the firm is a part) as measured by the practice in 
non-boycotting as well as boycotting countries. If such services are not 
customarily provided in similar transactions or such services are 
provided in such a way as to exclude blacklisted persons from 
participating in a transaction or diminish their opportunity for such 
participation, then the services may not be provided without destroying 
the unilateral character of any subsequent selection.

[[Page 772]]

           Selection To Be Made by Boycotting Country Resident

    (7) In order for this exception to be available, the unilateral and 
specific selection must have been made by a boycotting country, or by a 
national or resident of a boycotting country. Such a resident may be a 
United States person. For purposes of this exception, a United States 
person will be considered a resident of a boycotting country only if he 
is a bona fide resident. A United States person may be a bona fide 
resident of a boycotting country even if such person's residency is 
temporary.
    (8) Factors that will be considered in determining whether a United 
States person is a bona fide resident of a boycotting country include:
    (i) Physical presence in the country;
    (ii) Whether residence is needed for legitimate business reasons;
    (iii) Continuity of the residency;
    (iv) Intent to maintain the residency;
    (v) Prior residence in the country;
    (vi) Size and nature of presence in the country;
    (vii) Whether the person is registered to do business or 
incorporated in the country;
    (viii) Whether the person has a valid work visa; and
    (ix) Whether the person has a similar presence in both boycotting 
and non-boycotting foreign countries in connection with similar business 
activities.

    Note to paragraph (d)(8) of this section: No one of the factors is 
dispositive. All the circumstances will be examined closely to ascertain 
whether there is, in fact, a bona fide residency. Residency established 
solely for purposes of avoidance of the application of this part, 
unrelated to legitimate business needs, does not constitute bona fide 
residency.

    (9) The boycotting country resident must be the one actually making 
the selection. If a selection is made by a non-resident agent, parent, 
subsidiary, affiliate, home office or branch office of a boycotting 
country resident, it is not a selection by a resident within the meaning 
of this exception.
    (10) A selection made solely by a bona fide resident and merely 
transmitted by another person to a United States person for execution is 
a selection by a bona fide resident within the meaning of this 
exception.

                             Duty of Inquiry

    (11) If a United States person receives, from another person located 
in the United States, what may be a unilateral selection by a boycotting 
country customer, and knows or has reason to know that the selection is 
made for boycott reasons, he has a duty to inquire of the transmitting 
person to determine who actually made the selection. If he knows or has 
reason to know that the selection was made by other than a boycotting 
country, or a national or resident of a boycotting country, he may not 
comply. A course or pattern of conduct which a United States person 
recognizes or should recognize as consistent with boycott restrictions 
will create a duty to inquire.
    (12) If the United States person does not know or have reason to 
know that the selection it receives is boycott-based, its compliance 
with such a selection does not offend any prohibition and this exception 
is not needed.

                          Selection of Services

    (13) This exception applies only to compliance with selections of 
certain types of suppliers of services-carriers, insurers, and suppliers 
of services to be performed ``within the boycotting country.'' Services 
to be performed wholly within the United States or wholly within any 
country other than the boycotting country are not covered.
    (14) For purposes of this part, services are to be performed 
``within the boycotting country'' only if they are of a type which would 
customarily be performed by suppliers of those services within the 
country of the recipient of those services, and if the part of the 
services performed within the boycotting country is a necessary and not 
insignificant part of the total services performed.
    (15) What is ``customary and necessary'' for these purposes depends 
on the usual practice of the supplier of the services (or the industry 
of which he is a part) as measured by the practice in non-boycotting as 
well as boycotting countries, except where such practices are instituted 
to accommodate this part.

[[Page 773]]

                           Selection of Goods

    (16) This exception applies only to compliance with selections of 
certain types of goods--goods that, in the normal course of business, 
are identifiable as to their source or origin at the time of their entry 
into the boycotting country. The definition of ``specifically 
identifiable goods'' is the same under this section as it is in 
paragraph (g) of this section on ``Compliance with Local Law.''
    (17) Goods ``specifically identifiable'' in the normal course of 
business are those items which at the time of their entry into a 
boycotting country are identifiable as to source or origin by uniqueness 
of design or appearance; or trademark, trade name, or other 
identification normally on the items themselves, including their 
packaging. Goods are ``specifically identifiable'' in the normal course 
of business if their source or origin is ascertainable by inspection of 
the items themselves, including their packaging, regardless of whether 
inspection takes place. Goods are not considered to be ``specifically 
identifiable'' in the normal course of business if a trademark, trade 
name, or other form of identification not normally present is added to 
the items themselves, including their packaging, to accommodate this 
part.

                                 General

    (18) If a unilateral selection meets the conditions described in 
paragraph (d) of this section, the United States person receiving the 
unilateral selection may comply or agree to comply, even if he knows or 
has reason to know that the selection was boycott-based. However, no 
United States person may comply or agree to comply with any unilateral 
selection if he knows or has reason to know that the purpose of the 
selection is to effect discrimination against any United States person 
on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin.

           Examples of Compliance With a Unilateral Selection

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
what constitutes a unilateral selection and the circumstances in which 
compliance with such a selection is permissible. They are illustrative, 
not comprehensive.

                    Specific and Unilateral Selection

    (i) A, a U.S. manufacturer of road-grading equipment, is asked by 
boycotting country Y to ship goods to Y on U.S. vessel B, a carrier 
which is not blacklisted by Y. A knows or has reason to know that Y's 
selection of B is boycott-based.
    A may comply with Y's request, or may agree to comply as a condition 
of the contract, because the selection is specific and unilateral.
    (ii) A, a U.S. contractor building an industrial facility in 
boycotting country Y is asked by B, a resident of Y, to use C as the 
supplier of air conditioning equipment to be used in the facility. C is 
not blacklisted by country Y. A knows or has reason to know that B's 
request is boycott-based.
    A may comply with B's request, or may agree to comply as a condition 
of the contract, because the selection of C is specific and unilateral.
    (iii) A, a U.S. manufacturer of automotive equipment, is asked by 
boycotting country Y not to ship its goods to Y on U.S. carriers, B, C, 
or D. Carriers B, C, and D are blacklisted by boycotting country Y. A 
knows or has reason to know that Y's request is boycott-based.
    A may not comply or agree to comply with Y's request, because no 
specific selection of any particular carrier has been made.
    (iv) A, a U.S. exporter shipping goods ordered by boycotting country 
Y, is provided by Y with a list of eligible U.S. insurers from which A 
may choose in insuring the shipment of its goods. A knows or has reason 
to know that the list was compiled on a boycott basis.
    A may not comply or agree to comply with Y's request that A choose 
from among the eligible insurers, because no specific selection of any 
particular insurer has been made.
    (v) A, a U.S. aircraft manufacturer, is negotiating to sell aircraft 
to boycotting country Y. During the negotiations, Y asks A to identify 
the company which normally manufactures the engines for the aircraft. A 
responds that they are normally manufactured by U.S. engine manufacturer 
B. B is blacklisted by Y. In making the purchase, Y specifies that the 
engines for the aircraft should be supplied by U.S. engine manufacturer 
C.
    A may comply or agree to comply with Y's selection of C, because Y's 
selection is unilateral and specific.
    (vi) A, a U.S. construction firm, is retained by an agency of 
boycotting country Y to build a pipeline. Y requests A to suggest 
qualified engineering firms to be used on-site in the construction of 
the pipeline. It is customary for A, regardless of where it conducts

[[Page 774]]

its operations, to identify qualified engineering firms to its customers 
so that its customers may make their own selection of the firm to be 
engaged. Choice of engineering firm is customarily a prerogative of the 
customer. A provides a list of five engineering firms, B-F, excluding no 
firm because it may be blacklisted, and then confers with and gives its 
recommendations to Y. A recommends C, because C is the best qualified. Y 
then selects B, because C is blacklisted.
    A may comply with Y's selection of B, because the boycott-based 
decision is made by Y and is unilateral and specific. Since A's pre-
award services are of the kind customarily provided in these situations, 
and since they are provided without reference to the boycott, they do 
not destroy the unilateral character of Y's selection.
    (vii) A, a U.S. aircraft manufacturer, has an order to supply a 
certain number of planes to boycotting country Y. In connection with the 
order, Y asks A to supply it with a list of qualified aircraft tire 
manufacturers so that Y can select the tires to be placed on the planes. 
This is a highly unusual request, since, in A's worldwide business 
operations, choice of tires is customarily made by the manufacturer, not 
the customer. Nonetheless, A supplies a list of tire manufacturers, B, 
C, D, and E. Y chooses tire manufacturer B because B is not blacklisted. 
Had A, as is customary, selected the tires, company C would have been 
chosen. C happens to be blacklisted, and A knows that C's blacklist 
status was the reason for Y's selection of B.
    A's provision of a list of tire manufacturers for Y to choose from 
destroys the unilateral character of Y's selection, because such a pre-
selection service is not customary in A's worldwide business operations.
    (viii) A, a U.S. aircraft manufacturer, receives an order from U.S. 
company C, which is located in the United States, for the sale of 
aircraft to company D, a U.S. affiliate of C. D is a bona fide resident 
of boycotting country Y. C instructs A that ``in order to avoid boycott 
problems,'' A must use engines that are manufactured by company B, a 
company that is not blacklisted by Y. Engines built by B are unique in 
design and also bear B's trade name.
    Since A has reason to know that the selection is boycott-based, he 
must inquire of C whether the selection was in fact made by D. If C 
informs A that the selection was made by D, A may comply.
    (ix) Same as (viii), except that C initially states that the 
designation was unilaterally and specifically made by D.
    A may accept C's statement without further investigation and may 
comply with the selection, because C merely transmitted D's unilateral 
and specific selection.
    (x) Same as (ix), except that C informs A that it, C, has selected B 
on behalf of or as an agent of its affiliated company resident in the 
boycotting country.
    A may not comply with this selection, because the decision was not 
made by a resident of the boycotting country.
    (xi) A, a U.S. management consulting firm, is advising boycotting 
country Y on the selection of a contracting firm to construct a plant 
for the manufacture of agricultural chemicals. As is customary in its 
business, A compiles a list of potential contractors on the basis of its 
evaluation of the capabilities of the respective candidates to perform 
the job. A has knowledge that company B is blacklisted, but provides Y 
with the names of companies B, C, D, and E, listing them in order of 
their qualifications. Y instructs A to negotiate with C.
    A may comply with Y's instruction, because Y's selection is 
unilateral and specific.
    (xii) A, a U.S. exporter, is asked by boycotting country Y not to 
ship goods on carriers B, C, or D, which are owned by nationals of and 
are registered in country P, a country not boycotted by Y.
    A may comply or agree to comply with Y's request even though the 
selection is not specific, because A does not know or have reason to 
know that the request is boycott-based.

    (Note: In example (xii), A has violated no prohibition, because it 
does not know or have reason to know that Y's instruction is boycott-
based. Therefore, A could not act with the requisite intent to comply 
with the boycott.)

    (xiii) A, a U.S. construction company, receives a contract to 
construct a hotel in boycotting country Y. As part of the contract, A is 
required to furnish Y with lists of qualified suppliers of various 
specifically identifiable items. A compiles lists of various qualified 
suppliers wholly without reference to the boycott, and thereafter Y 
instructs A to negotiate with, enter into contracts with, and arrange 
for delivery from each of the suppliers which Y designates. A knows that 
Y's choices are made on a boycott basis.
    A may comply with Y's selections and carry out these post-award 
services for Y, because Y's selections were unilateral and specific and 
A's pre-award services were provided without reference to Y's boycott.

                  Examples of Boycotting Country Buyer

(The factors in determining whether a United States person is a ``bona 
fide resident'' of a boycotting country are the same as in paragraph (g) 
of this section on ``Compliance with Local Law.'' See also the examples 
in that section.)

    (i) A, a U.S. exporter, is asked by B, a U.S. person who is a bona 
fide resident of boycotting country Y, to ship goods on U.S. carrier C. 
C is not blacklisted by Y, and A

[[Page 775]]

knows that B has chosen on a boycott basis in order to comply with Y's 
boycott laws.
    A may comply or agree to comply with B's request, because B is a 
bona fide resident of Y.
    (ii) A is a U.S. computer company whose subsidiary, B, is a bona 
fide resident of boycotting country Y. A receives an order from B for 
specific, identifiable products manufactured by company C in connection 
with a computer which B is installing in Y.
    A may comply or agree to comply with B's unilateral and specific 
selection, so long as the discretion was in fact exercised by B, not A.

    (Note: Unilateral selection transactions involving related United 
States persons will be scrutinized carefully to ensure that the 
selection was in fact made by the bona fide resident of the boycotting 
country.)

    (iii) A, a U.S. engineering firm, has chief engineer B as its 
resident engineer on a dam construction site in boycotting country Y. 
B's presence at the site is necessary in order to ensure proper 
supervision of the project. In order to comply with local law, B selects 
equipment supplier C rather than D, who is blacklisted, and directs A to 
purchase certain specific equipment from C for use in the project.
    A may comply with this unilateral selection, because the decision 
was made by a bona fide resident of Y.

(As noted above, unilateral selections involving related United States 
persons will be scrutinized carefully to ensure that the selection was 
in fact made by the bona fide resident of the boycotting country.)

    (iv) B, a branch of U.S. bank A, is located in boycotting country Y. 
B is in need of office supplies and asks the home office in New York to 
make the necessary purchases. A contacts C, a U.S. company in the office 
supply business, and instructs C to purchase various items from certain 
specific companies and ship them directly to B. In order to avoid any 
difficulties for B with respect to Y's boycott laws, A is careful to 
specify only non-blacklisted companies or suppliers. C knows that that 
was A's purpose. C may not comply with A's instruction, because the 
selection of suppliers was not made by a resident of a boycotting 
country.
    (v) Same as (iv), except that A has given standing instructions to B 
that whenever it needs office supplies, it should specify certain 
suppliers designated by A. To avoid running afoul of Y's boycott laws, 
A's designations consist exclusively of non-blacklisted firms. A 
receives an order from B with the suppliers designated in accordance 
with A's instructions.
    A may not comply with B's selection, because the selection was not 
in fact made by a bona fide resident of the boycotting country, but by a 
person located in the United States.

                    Examples of Suppliers of Services

    (i) A, a U.S. manufacturer, is asked by boycotting country Y to ship 
goods to Y on U.S. vessel B, a carrier which is not blacklisted by Y.
    A may comply or agree to comply with Y's request, because compliance 
with the unilateral and specific selection of carriers is expressly 
permitted under this exception.
    (ii) A, a U.S. exporter shipping goods ordered by C, a national of 
boycotting country Y, is asked by C to insure the shipment through U.S. 
insurer B.
    A may comply or agree to comply with C's request, because compliance 
with the unilateral and specific selection of an insurer is expressly 
permitted under this exception.
    (iii) A, a U.S. construction company, is hired by C, an agency of 
the government of boycotting country Y, to build a power plant in Y. C 
specifies that A should subcontract the foundation work to U.S. 
contractor B. Part of the foundation design work will be done by B in 
the United States.
    A may comply or agree to comply with Y's designation, because a 
necessary and not insignificant part of B's services are to be performed 
within the boycotting country, and such services are customarily 
performed on-site.
    (iv) A, a U.S. contractor, is engaged by boycotting country Y to 
build a power plant. Y specifies that U.S. architectural firm B should 
be retained by A to design the plant. In order to design the plant, it 
is essential that B's personnel visit and become familiar with the site, 
although the bulk of the design and drawing work will be done in the 
United States.
    A may comply or agree to comply with Y's unilateral and specific 
selection of architectural firm B, because a necessary and not 
insignificant part of B's services are to be performed within Y, and 
such on-site work is customarily involved in the provision of 
architectural services. The fact that the bulk of the actual work may be 
performed in the United States is irrelevant since the part to be 
performed within Y is necessary to B's effective performance.
    (v) Same as (iv), except that Y specifies that the turbine for the 
power plant should be designed by U.S. engineer C. It is neither 
customary nor necessary for C to visit the site in order to do any of 
his work, but C has informed A that he would probably want to visit the 
site in Y if he were selected for the job.
    A may not comply or agree to comply with Y's request, because, in 
the normal course of business, it is neither customary nor necessary for 
engineer C's services to be performed in Y.

[[Page 776]]

    (vi) A, a U.S. aircraft manufacturer, receives a contract from 
boycotting country Y to manufacture jet engines for Y's use. Y specifies 
that the engines should be designed by U.S. industrial engineering firm 
B.
    A may not comply or agree to comply with Y's request, because, in 
the normal course of business, the services will not be performed in Y.
    (vii) U.S. company A has a contract to supply specially designed 
road graders to boycotting country Y. Y has instructed A that it should 
engage engineering firm B in the design work rather than engineering 
firm C, which A normally uses, because C is blacklisted. When A contacts 
B, B informs A that one of B's personnel customarily visits the location 
in which any equipment B designs is used after it is in use, in order to 
determine how good a design job B has done. Such visits are necessary 
from B's point of view to provide a check on the quality of its work, 
and they are necessary from Y's point of view because they make it 
possible for Y to discuss possible design changes should deficiencies be 
detected.
    A may not comply with Y's selection of B, because the services which 
B would perform in Y are an insignificant part of the total services to 
be performed by B.

               Examples of Specifically Identifiable Goods

(The test of what constitutes ``specifically identifiable goods'' under 
this exception also applies to the term ``specifically identifiable 
goods'' as used in paragraph (g) of this section on ``Compliance with 
Local Law.'')

    (i) A, a U.S. contractor, is constructing an apartment complex, on a 
turnkey basis, for boycotting country Y. Y instructs A to use only 
kitchen appliances manufactured by U.S. company B in completing the 
project. The appliances normally bear the manufacturer's name and 
trademark.
    A may comply with Y's selection of B, because Y's unilateral and 
specific selection is of goods identifiable as to source or origin in 
the normal course of business at the time of their entry into Y.
    (ii) Same as (i), except that Y directs A to use lumber manufactured 
only by U.S. company C. In the normal course of business, C neither 
stamps its name on the lumber nor identifies itself as the manufacturer 
on the packaging. In addition, normal export packaging does not identify 
the manufacturer.
    A may not comply with Y's selection, because the goods selected are 
not identifiable by source or origin in the normal course of business at 
the time of their entry into Y.
    (iii) B, a U.S. contractor who is a bona fide resident of boycotting 
country Y, is engaged in building roads. B retains the services of A, a 
U.S. engineering firm, to assist it in procuring construction equipment. 
B directs A to purchase road graders only from manufacturer C because 
other road grader manufacturers which A might use are blacklisted. C's 
road graders normally bear C's insignia.
    A may comply with B's selection of C, because the goods selected are 
identifiable by source or origin in the normal course of business at the 
time of their entry into Y.
    (iv) A, a U.S. company, manufactures computer-operated machine 
tools. The computers are mounted on a separate bracket on the side of 
the equipment and are readily identifiable by brand name imprinted on 
the equipment. There are five or six U.S. manufacturers of such 
computers which will function interchangeably to operate the machine 
tools manufactured by A. B, a resident of boycotting country Y, 
contracts to buy the machine tools manufactured by A on the condition 
that A incorporate, as the computer drive, a computer manufactured by 
U.S. company C. B's designation of C is made to avoid boycott problems 
which could be caused if computers manufactured by some other company 
were used.
    A may comply with B's designation of C, because the goods selected 
are identifiable by source or origin in the normal course of business at 
the time of their entry into Y.
    (v) A, a U.S. wholesaler of electronic equipment, receives an order 
from B, a U.S. manufacturer of radio equipment, who is a bona fide 
resident of boycotting country Y. B orders a variety of electrical 
components and specifies that all transistors must be purchased from 
company C, which is not blacklisted by Y. The transistors requested by B 
do not normally bear the name of the manufacturer; however, they are 
typically shipped in cartons, and C's name and logo appear on the 
cartons.
    A may comply with B's selection, because the goods selected by B are 
identifiable as to source or origin in the normal course of business at 
the time of their entry into Y by virtue of the containers or packaging 
used.
    (vi) A, a U.S. computer manufacturer, receives an order for a 
computer from B, a university in boycotting country Y. B specifies that 
certain integrated circuits incorporated in the computer must be 
supplied by U.S. electronics company C. These circuits are incorporated 
into the computer and are not visible without disassembling the 
computer.
    A may not comply or agree to comply with B's specific selection of 
these components, because they are not identifiable as to their source 
or origin in the normal course of business at the time of their entry 
into Y.
    (vii) A, a U.S. clothing manufacturer, receives an order for shirts 
from B, a retailer resident in boycotting country Y. B specifies that 
the shirts are to be manufactured from cotton produced by U.S. farming 
cooperative C. Such shirts will not identify C or the source of the 
cotton.

[[Page 777]]

    A may not comply or agree to comply with B's designation, because 
the cotton is not identifiable as to source or origin in the normal 
course of business at the time of entry into Y.
    (viii) A, a U.S. contractor, is retained by B, a construction firm 
located in and wholly-owned by boycotting country Y, to assist B in 
procuring construction materials. B directs A to purchase a range of 
materials, including hardware, tools, and trucks, all of which bear the 
name of the manufacturer stamped on the item. In addition, B directs A 
to purchase steel beams manufactured by U.S. company C. The name of 
manufacturer C normally does not appear on the steel itself or on its 
export packaging.
    A may comply with B's selection of the hardware, tools, and trucks, 
because they are identifiable as to source or origin in the normal 
course of business at the time of entry into Y. A may not comply with 
B's selection of steel beams, because the goods are not identifiable as 
to source or origin by trade name, trademark, uniqueness or packaging at 
the time of their entry into Y.

 Example of Discrimination on Basis of Race, Religion, Sex, or National 
                                 Origin

    (i) A, a U.S. paper manufacturer, is asked by boycotting country Y 
to ship goods to Y on U.S. vessel B. Y states that the reason for its 
choice of B is that, unlike U.S. vessel C, B is not owned by persons of 
a particular faith.
    A may not comply or agree to comply with Y's request, because A has 
reason to know that the purpose of the selection is to effect religious 
discrimination against a United States person.

    (e) Shipment and transshipment of exports pursuant to a boycotting 
country's requirements.

 Compliance With a Boycotting Country's Requirements Regarding Shipment 
                      and Transshipment of Exports

    (1) A United States person may comply or agree to comply with the 
export requirements of a boycotting country with respect to shipments or 
transshipments of exports to:
    (i) A boycotted country;
    (ii) Any business concern of a boycotted country;
    (iii) Any business concern organized under the laws of a boycotted 
country; or
    (iv) Any national or resident of a boycotted country.
    (2) This exception permits compliance with restrictions which a 
boycotting country may place on direct exports to a boycotted country; 
on indirect exports to a boycotted country (i.e., those that pass via 
third parties); and on exports to residents, nationals, or business 
concerns of, or organized under the laws of, a boycotted country, 
including those located in third countries.
    (3) This exception also permits compliance with restrictions which a 
boycotting country may place on the route of export shipments when the 
restrictions are reasonably related to preventing the export shipments 
from coming into contact with or under the jurisdiction of the boycotted 
country. This exception applies whether a boycotting country or the 
vendor of the shipment:
    (i) Explicitly states that the shipment should not pass through the 
boycotted country enroute to its final destination; or
    (ii) Affirmatively describes a route of shipment that does not 
include the boycotted country.
    (4) A United States person may not, under this exception, refuse on 
an across-the-board basis to do business with a boycotted country or a 
national or resident of a boycotted country.

    Examples of Compliance With a Boycotting Country's Requirements 
             Regarding Shipment or Transshipment of Exports

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which compliance with the export requirements of a 
boycotting country is permissible. They are illustrative, not 
comprehensive.
    (i) A, a U.S. petroleum company, exports petroleum products to 20 
countries, including the United States, from boycotting country Y. 
Country Y's export regulations require that products not be exported 
from Y to boycotted country X.
    A may agree to and comply with Y's regulations with respect to the 
export of goods from Y to X.
    (ii) Same as (i), except that Y's export regulations require that 
goods not be exported from boycotting country Y to any business concern 
organized under the laws of boycotted country X.
    A may agree to and comply with Y's regulations with respect to the 
export of goods from Y to a business concern organized under the laws of 
X, even if such concern is located in a country not involved in Y's 
boycott of X.

[[Page 778]]

    (iii) B, the operator of a storage facility in country M, contracts 
with A, a U.S. carrier, for the shipment of certain goods manufactured 
in boycotting country Y. A's contract with B contains a provision 
stating that the goods to be transported may not be shipped or 
transshipped to boycotted country X. B informs A that this provision is 
a requirement of C, the manufacturer of goods who is a resident of 
boycotting country Y. Country M is not boycotted by Y.
    A may agree to and comply with this provision, because such a 
provision is required by the export regulations of boycotting country Y 
in order to prevent shipment of Y-origin goods to a country boycotted by 
Y.
    (iv) A, a U.S. petroleum refiner located in the United States, 
purchases crude oil from boycotting country Y. A has a branch operation 
in boycotted country X. Y requires, as a condition of sale, that A agree 
not to ship or transship the crude oil or products refined in Y to A's 
branch in X.
    A may agree to and comply with these requirements, because they are 
export requirements of Y designed to prevent Y-origin products from 
being shipped to a boycotted country.
    (v) A, a U.S. company, has a petrochemical plant in boycotting 
country Y. As a condition of securing an export license from Y, A must 
agree that it will not ship or permit transshipment of any of its output 
from the plant in Y to any companies which Y lists as being owned by 
nationals of boycotted country X.
    A may agree to this condition, because it is a restriction designed 
to prevent Y-origin products from being exported to a business concern 
of boycotted country X or to nationals of boycotted country X.
    (vi) Same as (v), except that the condition imposed on A is that Y-
origin goods may not be shipped or permitted to be transshipped to any 
companies which Y lists as being owned by persons whose national origin 
is X.
    A may not agree to this condition, because it is a restriction 
designed to prevent Y-origin goods from being exported to persons of a 
particular national origin rather than to residents or nationals of a 
particular boycotted country.
    (vii) A, a U.S. petroleum company, exports petroleum products to 20 
countries, including the United States, from boycotting country Y. Y 
requires, as a condition of sale, that A not ship the products to be 
exported from Y to or through boycotted country X.
    A may agree to and comply with this requirement because it is an 
export requirement of Y designed to prevent Y-origin products from 
coming into contact with or under the jurisdiction of a boycotted 
country.
    (viii) Same as (vii), except that boycotting country Y's export 
regulations require that products to be exported from Y not pass through 
a port of boycotted country X.
    A may agree to and comply with Y's regulations prohibiting Y-origin 
exports from passing through a port at boycotted country X, because they 
are export requirements of Y designed to prevent Y-origin products from 
coming into contact with or under the jurisdiction of a boycotted 
country.
    (ix) Same as (vii), except that Y's export regulations require that 
A not transship the exported products ``in or at'' boycotted country X.
    A may agree to and comply with Y's regulations with respect to the 
transshipment of goods ``in or at'' X, because they are export 
requirements of Y designed to prevent Y-origin products from coming into 
contact with or under the jurisdiction of a boycotted country.

    (f) Immigration, passport, visa, or employment requirements of a 
boycotting country.

Compliance With Immigration, Passport, Visa, or Employment Requirements 
                         of a Boycotting Country

    (1) A United States individual may comply or agree to comply with 
the immigration, passport, visa, or employment requirements of a 
boycotting country, and with requests for information from a boycotting 
country made to ascertain whether such individual meets requirements for 
employment within the boycotting country, provided that he furnishes 
information only about himself or a member of his family, and not about 
any other United States individual, including his employees, employers, 
or co-workers.
    (2) For purposes of this section, a United States individual means a 
person who is a resident or national of the United States. Family means 
immediate family members, including parents, siblings, spouse, children, 
and other dependents living in the individual's home.
    (3) A United States person may not furnish information about its 
employees or executives, but may allow any individual to respond on his 
own to any request for information relating to immigration, passport, 
visa, or employment requirements. A United States person may also 
perform any ministerial acts to expedite processing of applications by 
individuals. These include informing employees of boycotting country 
visa requirements at

[[Page 779]]

an appropriate time; typing, translation, messenger and similar 
services; and assisting in or arranging for the expeditious processing 
of applications. All such actions must be undertaken on a non-
discriminatory basis.
    (4) A United States person may proceed with a project in a 
boycotting country even if certain of its employees or other prospective 
participants in a transaction are denied entry for boycott reasons. But 
no employees or other participants may be selected in advance in a 
manner designed to comply with a boycott.

 Examples of Compliance With Immigration, Passport, Visa, or Employment 
                  Requirements of a Boycotting Country

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which compliance with immigration, passport, visa, 
or employment requirements is permissible. They are illustrative, not 
comprehensive.
    (i) A, a U.S. individual employed by B, a U.S. manufacturer of 
sporting goods with a plant in boycotting country Y, wishes to obtain a 
work visa so that he may be assigned to the plant in Y. Country Y's 
immigration laws specify that anyone wishing to enter the country or 
obtain a visa to work in the country must supply information about his 
religion. This information is required for boycott purposes.
    A may furnish such information, because it is required by Y's 
immigration laws.
    (ii) Same as (i), except that A is asked to supply such information 
about other employees of B.
    A may not supply this information, because it is not information 
about himself or his family.
    (iii) A, a U.S. building contractor, has been awarded a construction 
contract to be performed in boycotting country Y. Y's immigration laws 
require that individuals applying for visas must indicate race, 
religion, and place of birth. The information is sought for boycott 
purposes. To avoid repeated rejections of applications for work visas by 
A's employees, A desires to furnish to country Y a list of its 
prospective and current employees and required information about each so 
that Y can make an initial screening.
    A may not furnish such a list, because A would be furnishing 
information about the race, religion, and national origin of its 
employees.
    (iv) Same as (iii), except that A selects for work on the project 
those of its current employees whom it believes will be granted work 
visas from boycotting country Y.
    A may not make a selection from among its employees in a manner 
designed to comply with the boycott-based visa requirements of Y, but 
must allow all eligible employees to apply for visas. A may later 
substitute an employee who obtains the necessary visa for one who has 
had his application rejected.
    (v) Same as (iii), except that A selects employees for the project 
and then allows each employee individually to apply for his own visa. 
Two employees' applications are rejected, and A then substitutes two 
other employees who, in turn, submit their own visa applications.
    A may take such action, because in so doing A is not acting in 
contravention of any prohibition of this part.
    (vi) Same as (v), except that A arranges for the translation, typing 
and processing of its employees' applications, and transmits all the 
applications to the consulate of boycotting country Y.
    A may take such ministerial actions, because in so doing A is not 
itself furnishing information with respect to race, religion, sex, or 
national origin, but is merely transmitting information furnished by its 
individual employees.
    (vii) A, a U.S. contractor, selects U.S. subcontractor B to perform 
certain engineering services in connection with A's project in 
boycotting country Y. The work visa application submitted by the 
employee whom B has proposed as chief engineer of this project is 
rejected by Y because his national origin is of boycotted country X. 
Subcontractor B thereupon withdraws.
    A may continue with the project and select another subcontractor, 
because A is not acting in contravention of any prohibition of this 
part.

    (g) Compliance with local law. (1) This exception contains two 
parts. The first covers compliance with local law with respect to a 
United States person's activities exclusively within a foreign country; 
the second covers compliance with local import laws by United States 
persons resident in a foreign country. Under both parts of this 
exception, local laws are laws of the host country, whether derived from 
statutes, regulations, decrees, or other official sources having the 
effect of law in the host country. This exception is not available for 
compliance with presumed policies or understandings of policies unless 
those policies are reflected in official sources having the effect of 
law.
    (2) Both parts of this exception apply only to United States persons 
resident in a foreign country. For purposes of this exception, a United 
States person will be considered to be a resident of a

[[Page 780]]

foreign country only if he is a bona fide resident. A United States 
person may be a bona fide resident of a foreign country even if such 
person's residency is temporary.
    (3)(i) Factors that will be considered in determining whether a 
United States person is a bona fide resident of a foreign country 
include:
    (A) Physical presence in the country;
    (B) Whether residence is needed for legitimate business reasons;
    (C) Continuity of the residency;
    (D) Intent to maintain the residency;
    (E) Prior residence in the country;
    (F) Size and nature of presence in the country;
    (G) Whether the person is registered to do business or incorporated 
in the country;
    (H) Whether the person has a valid work visa; and
    (I) Whether the person has a similar presence in both boycotting and 
non-boycotting foreign countries in connection with similar business 
activities.
    (ii) No one of the factors in paragraph (g)(3) of this section is 
dispositive. All the circumstances involved will be closely examined to 
ascertain whether there is, in fact, bona fide residency. Residency 
established solely for purposes of avoidance of the application of this 
part, unrelated to legitimate business needs, does not constitute bona 
fide residency.

                     Examples of Bona Fide Residency

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which a United States person may be a bona fide 
resident of a foreign country. For purposes of illustration, each 
example discusses only one or two factors, instead of all relevant 
factors. They are illustrative, not comprehensive.
    (i) A, a U.S. radio manufacturer located in the United States, 
receives a tender to bid on a contract to supply radios for a hotel to 
be built in boycotting country Y. After examining the proposal, A sends 
a bid from its New York office to Y.
    A is not a resident of Y, because it is not physically present in Y.
    (ii) Same as (i), except that after receiving the tender, A sends 
its sales representative to Y. A does not usually have sales 
representatives in countries when it bids from the United States, and 
this particular person's presence in Y is not necessary to enable A to 
make the bid.
    A is not a bona fide resident of Y, because it has no legitimate 
business reasons for having its sales representative resident in Y.
    (iii) A, a U.S. bank, wishes to establish a branch office in 
boycotting country Y. In pursuit of that objective, A's personnel visit 
Y to make the necessary arrangements. A intends to establish a permanent 
branch office in Y after the necessary arrangements are made.
    A's personnel in Y are not bona fide residents of Y, because A does 
not yet have a permanent business operation in Y.
    (iv) Same as (iii), except A's personnel are required by Y's laws to 
furnish certain non-discriminatory boycott information in order to 
establish a branch in Y.
    In these limited circumstances, A's personnel may furnish the non-
discriminatory boycott information necessary to establish residency to 
the same extent a U.S. person who is a bona fide resident in that 
country could. If this information could not be furnished in such 
limited circumstances, the exception would be available only to firms 
resident in a boycotting country before January 18, 1978.
    (v) A, a U.S. construction company, receives an invitation to build 
a power plant in boycotting country Y. After receipt of the invitation, 
A's personnel visit Y in order to survey the site and make necessary 
analyses in preparation for submitting a bid. The invitation requires 
that otherwise prohibited boycott information be furnished with the bid.
    A's personnel in Y are not bona fide residents of Y, because A has 
no permanent business operation in Y. Therefore, A's personnel may not 
furnish the prohibited information.
    (vi) Same as (v), except that A is considering establishing an 
office in boycotting country Y. A's personnel visit Y in order to 
register A to do business in that country. A intends to establish 
ongoing construction operations in Y. A's personnel are required by Y's 
laws to furnish certain non-discriminatory boycott information in order 
to register A to do business or incorporate a subsidiary in Y.
    In these limited circumstances, A's personnel may furnish non-
discriminatory boycott information necessary to establish residency to 
the same extent a U.S. person who is a bona fide resident in that 
country could. If this information could not be furnished in such 
limited circumstances, the exception would be available only to firms 
resident in a boycotting country before January 18, 1978.
    (vii) A, a subsidiary of U.S. oil company B, is located in 
boycotting country Y. A has been engaged in oil explorations in Y for a 
number of years.
    A is a bona fide resident of Y, because of its pre-existing 
continuous presence in Y for legitimate business reasons.

[[Page 781]]

    (viii) Same as (vii), except that A has just been established in Y 
and has not yet begun operations.
    A is a bona fide resident of Y, because it is present in Y for 
legitimate business reasons and it intends to reside continuously.
    (ix) U.S. company A is a manufacturer of prefabricated homes. A 
builds a plant in boycotting country Y for purposes of assembling 
components made by A in the United States and shipped to Y.
    A's personnel in Y are bona fide residents of Y, because A's plant 
in Y is established for legitimate business reasons, and it intends to 
reside continuously.
    (x) U.S. company A has its principal place of business in the United 
States. A's sales agent visits boycotting country Y from time to time 
for purposes of soliciting orders.
    A's sales agent is not a bona fide resident of Y, because such 
periodic visits to Y are insufficient to establish a bona fide 
residency.
    (xi) A, a branch office of U.S. construction company B, is located 
in boycotting country Y. The branch office has been in existence for a 
number of years and has been performing various management services in 
connection with B's construction operations in Y.
    A is a bona fide resident of Y, because of its longstanding presence 
in Y and its conduct of ongoing operations in Y.
    (xii) U.S. construction company A has never done any business in 
boycotting country Y. It is awarded a contract to construct a hospital 
in Y, and preparatory to beginning construction, sends its personnel to 
Y to set up operations.
    A's personnel are bona fide residents of Y, because they are present 
in Y for the purposes of carrying out A's legitimate business purposes; 
they intend to reside continuously; and residency is necessary to 
conduct their business.
    (xiii) U.S. company A manufactures furniture. All its sales in 
foreign countries are conducted from its offices in the United States. 
From time to time A has considered opening sales offices abroad, but it 
has concluded that it is more efficient to conduct sales operations from 
the United States. Shortly after the effective date of this part, A 
sends a sales representative to boycotting country Y to open an office 
in and solicit orders from Y. It is more costly to conduct operations 
from that office than to sell directly from the United States, but A 
believes that if it establishes a residence in Y, it will be in a better 
position to avoid conflicts with U.S. law in its sales to Y.
    A's sales representative is not a bona fide resident of Y, because 
the residency was established to avoid the application of this part and 
not for legitimate business reasons.
    (xiv) Same as (xiii), except that it is in fact more efficient to 
have a sales office in Y. In fact, without a sales office in Y, A would 
find it difficult to explore business opportunities in Y. A is aware, 
however, that residency in Y would permit its sales representative to 
comply with Y's boycott laws.
    A's sales representative is a bona fide resident of Y, because A has 
a legitimate business reason for establishing a sales office in Y.
    (xv) U.S. company B is a computer manufacturer. B sells computers 
and related programming services tailored to the needs of individual 
clients. Because of the complex nature of the product, B must have sales 
representatives in any country where sales are made. B has a sales 
representative, A, in boycotting country Y. A spends two months of the 
year in Y, and the rest of the year in other countries. B has a 
permanent sales office from which A operates while in Y, and the sales 
office is stocked with brochures and other sales materials.
    A is a bona fide resident of Y, because his presence in Y is 
necessary to carry out B's legitimate business purposes; B maintains a 
permanent office in Y; and B intends to continue doing business in Y in 
the future.
    (xvi) A, a U.S. construction engineering company, is engaged by B, a 
U.S. general contracting company, to provide services in connection with 
B's contract to construct a hospital complex in boycotting country Y. In 
order to perform those services, A's engineers set up a temporary office 
in a trailer on the construction site in Y. A's work is expected to be 
completed within six months.
    A's personnel in Y are bona fide residents of Y, because A's on-site 
office is necessary to the performance of its services for B, and 
because A's personnel are continuously there.
    (xvii) A, a U.S. company, sends one of its representatives to 
boycotting country Y to explore new sales possibilities for its line of 
transistor radios. After spending several weeks in Y, A's representative 
rents a post office box in Y, to which all persons interested in A's 
products are directed to make inquiry.
    A is not a bona fide resident of Y, because rental of a post office 
box is not a sufficient presence in Y to constitute residency.
    (xviii) A, a U.S. computer company, has a patent and trademark 
registered in the United States. In order to obtain registration of its 
patent and trademark in boycotting country Y, A is required to furnish 
certain non-discriminatory boycott information.
    A may not furnish the information, because A is not a bona fide 
resident of Y.

    (h) Activities exclusively within a foreign country. (1) Any United 
States person who is a bona fide resident of a foreign country, 
including a boycotting country, may comply or agree to comply with the 
laws of that country with

[[Page 782]]

respect to his activities exclusively within that country. These 
activities include:
    (i) Entering into contracts which provide that local law applies or 
governs, or that the parties will comply with such laws;
    (ii) Employing residents of the host country;
    (iii) Retaining local contractors to perform work within the host 
country;
    (iv) Purchasing or selling goods or services from or to residents of 
the host country; and
    (v) Furnishing information within the host country.
    (2) Activities exclusively within the country do not include 
importing goods or services from outside the host country, and, 
therefore, this part of the exception does not apply to compliance with 
import laws in connection with importing goods or services.

   Examples of Permissible Compliance With Local Law With Respect to 
             Activities Exclusively Within a Foreign Country

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which compliance with local law is permissible. 
They are illustrative, not comprehensive.

             Activities Exclusively Within a Foreign Country

    (i) U.S. construction company A, a bona fide resident of boycotting 
country Y, has a contract to build a school complex in Y. Pursuant to 
Y's boycott laws, the contract requires A to refuse to purchase supplies 
from certain local merchants. While Y permits such merchants to operate 
within Y, their freedom of action in Y is constrained because of their 
relationship with boycotted country X.
    A may enter into the contract, because dealings with local merchants 
are activities exclusively within Y.
    (ii) A, a banking subsidiary of U.S. bank B, is a bona fide resident 
of boycotting country Y. From time to time, A purchases office supplies 
from the United States.
    A's purchase of office supplies is not an activity exclusively 
within Y, because it involves the import of goods from abroad.
    (iii) A, a branch of U.S. bank B, is a bona fide resident of 
boycotting country Y. Under Y's boycott laws, A is required to supply 
information about whether A has any dealings with boycotted country X. A 
compiles and furnishes the information within Y and does so of its own 
knowledge.
    A may comply with that requirement, because in compiling and 
furnishing the information within Y, based on its own knowledge, A is 
engaging in an activity exclusively within Y.
    (iv) Same as (iii), except that A is required to supply information 
about B's dealings with X. From its own knowledge and without making any 
inquiry of B, A compiles and furnishes the information.
    A may comply with that requirement, because in compiling and 
furnishing the information within Y, based on its own knowledge, A is 
engaging in an activity exclusively within Y.
    (v) Same as (iv), except that in making its responses, A asks B to 
compile some of the information.
    A may not comply, because the gathering of the necessary information 
takes place partially outside Y.
    (vi) U.S. company A has applied for a license to establish a 
permanent manufacturing facility in boycotting country Y. Under Y's 
boycott law, A must agree, as a condition of the license, that it will 
not sell any of its output to blacklisted foreign firms.
    A may not comply, because the agreement would govern activities of A 
which are not exclusively within Y.

              Discrimination Against United States Persons

    (i) A, a subsidiary of U.S. company B, is a bona fide resident of 
boycotting country Y. A manufactures air conditioners in its plant in Y. 
Under Y's boycott laws, A must agree not to hire nationals of boycotted 
country X.
    A may agree to the restriction and may abide by it with respect to 
its recruitment of individuals within Y, because the recruitment of such 
individuals is an activity exclusively within Y. However, A cannot abide 
by this restriction with respect to its recruitment of individuals 
outside Y, because this is not an activity exclusively within Y.
    (ii) Same as (i), except that pursuant to Y's boycott laws, A must 
agree not to hire anyone who is of a designated religion.
    A may not agree to this restriction, because the agreement calls for 
discrimination against U.S. persons on the basis of religion. It makes 
no difference whether the recruitment of the U.S. persons occurs within 
or without Y.

    (Note: The exception for compliance with local law does not apply to 
boycott-based refusals to employ U.S. persons on the basis of race, 
religion, sex, or national origin even if the activity is exclusively 
within the boycotting country.)

    (i) Compliance with local import law. (1) Any United States person 
who is a bona fide resident of a foreign country,

[[Page 783]]

including a boycotting country, may, in importing goods, materials or 
components into that country, comply or agree to comply with the import 
laws of that country, provided that:
    (i) The items are for his own use or for his use in performing 
contractual services within that country; and
    (ii) In the normal course of business, the items are identifiable as 
to their source or origin at the time of their entry into the foreign 
country by:
    (a) Uniqueness of design or appearance; or
    (b) Trademark, trade name, or other identification normally on the 
items themselves, including their packaging.
    (2) The factors that will be considered in determining whether a 
United States person is a bona fide resident of a foreign country are 
those set forth in paragraph (g) of this section. Bona fide residence of 
a United States company's subsidiary, affiliate, or other permanent 
establishment in a foreign country does not confer such residence on 
such United States company. Likewise, bona fide residence of a United 
States company's employee in a foreign country does not confer such 
residence on the entire company.
    (3) A United States person who is a bona fide resident of a foreign 
country may take action under this exception through an agent outside 
the country, but the agent must act at the direction of the resident and 
not exercise his own discretion. Therefore, if a United States person 
resident in a boycotting country takes action to comply with a 
boycotting country's import law with respect to the importation of 
qualified goods, he may direct his agent in the United States on the 
action to be taken, but the United States agent himself may not exercise 
any discretion.
    (4) For purposes of this exception, the test that governs whether 
goods or components of goods are specifically identifiable is identical 
to the test applied in paragraph (d) of this section on ``Compliance 
With Unilateral and Specific Selection'' to determine whether they are 
identifiable as to their source or origin in the normal course of 
business.
    (5) The availability of this exception for the import of goods 
depends on whether the goods are intended for the United States person's 
own use at the time they are imported. It does not depend upon who has 
title to the goods at the time of importation into a foreign country.
    (6) Goods are for the United States person's own use (including the 
performance of contractual services within the foreign country) if:
    (i) They are to be consumed by the United States person;
    (ii) They are to remain in the United States person's possession and 
to be used by that person;
    (iii) They are to be used by the United States person in performing 
contractual services for another;
    (iv) They are to be further manufactured, incorporated into, refined 
into, or reprocessed into another product to be manufactured for 
another; or
    (v) They are to be incorporated into, or permanently affixed as a 
functional part of, a project to be constructed for another.
    (7) Goods acquired to fill an order for such goods from another are 
not for the United States person's own use. Goods procured for another 
are not for one's own use, even if the furnishing of procurement 
services is the business in which the United States person is 
customarily engaged. Nor are goods obtained for simple resale acquired 
for one's own use, even if the United States person is engaged in the 
retail business. Likewise, goods obtained for inclusion in a turnkey 
project are not for one's own use if they are not customarily 
incorporated into, or do not customarily become permanently affixed as a 
functional part of the project.
    (8) This part of the local law exception does not apply to the 
import of services, even when the United States person importing such 
services is a bona fide resident of a boycotting country and is 
importing them for his own use. In addition, this exception is available 
for a United States person who is a bona fide resident of a foreign 
country only when the individual or entity actually present within that 
country takes action through the exercise of his own discretion.

[[Page 784]]

    (9) Use of this exception will be monitored and continually reviewed 
to determine whether its continued availability is consistent with the 
national interest. Its availability may be limited or withdrawn as 
appropriate. In reviewing the continued availability of this exception, 
the effect that the inability to comply with local import laws would 
have on the economic and other relations of the United States with 
boycotting countries will be considered.
    (10) A United States person who is a bona fide resident of a foreign 
country may comply or agree to comply with the host country's import 
laws even if he knows or has reason to know that particular laws are 
boycott-related. However, no United States person may comply or agree to 
comply with any host country law which would require him to discriminate 
against any United States person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or 
national origin, or to supply information about any United States 
person's race, religion, sex, or national origin.

        Examples of Permissible Compliance With Local Import Law

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
the circumstances in which compliance with local import law is 
permissible. They are illustrative, not comprehensive.

                   Compliance by a Bona Fide Resident

    (i) A, a subsidiary of U.S. company B, is a bona fide resident of 
boycotting country Y and is engaged in oil drilling operations in Y. In 
acquiring certain large, specifically identifiable products for carrying 
out its operations in Y, A chooses only from non-blacklisted firms 
because Y's import laws prohibit the importation of goods from 
blacklisted firms. However, with respect to smaller items, B makes the 
selection on behalf of A and sends them to A in Y.
    A may choose from non-blacklisted firms, because it is a U.S. person 
who is a bona fide resident in Y. However, because B is not resident in 
Y, B cannot make boycott-based selections to conform with Y's import 
laws prohibiting the importation of goods from blacklisted firms.
    (ii) Same as (i), except that after making its choices on the larger 
items, A directs B to carry out its instructions by entering into 
appropriate contracts and making necessary shipping arrangements.
    B may carry out A's instructions provided that A, a bona fide 
resident of Y, has in fact made the choice and B is exercising no 
discretion, but is acting only as A's agent.

    (Note: Such transactions between related companies will be 
scrutinized carefully. A must in fact exercise the discretion and make 
the selections. If the discretion is exercised by B, B would be in 
violation of this part.)

    (iii) U.S. construction company A has a contract to build a school 
in boycotting country Y. A's employees set up operations in Y for 
purposes of commencing construction. A's employees in Y advise A's 
headquarters in the United States that Y's import laws prohibit 
importation of goods manufactured by blacklisted firms. A's headquarters 
then issues invitations to bid only to non-blacklisted firms for certain 
specifically identifiable goods.
    A's headquarters' choice of non-blacklisted suppliers is not a 
choice made by a U.S. person who is a bona fide resident of Y, because 
the discretion in issuing the bids was exercised in the United States, 
not in Y.
    (iv) Same as (iii), except that A's employees in Y actually make the 
decision regarding to whom the bids should be issued.
    The choices made by A's employees are choices made by U.S. persons 
who are bona fide residents of Y, because the discretion in choosing was 
exercised solely in Y.

    (Note: Choices purportedly made by employees of U.S. companies who 
are resident in boycotting countries will be carefully scrutinized to 
ensure that the discretion was exercised entirely in the boycotting 
country.)

                     Specifically Identifiable Goods

    The test and examples as to what constitutes specifically 
identifiable goods are identical to those applicable under paragraph (d) 
of this section on ``Compliance With Unilateral Selection.''

       Imports for U.S. Person's Own Use Within Boycotting Country

    (i) A, a subsidiary of U.S. company B, is a bona fide resident of 
boycotting country Y. A plans to import computer operated machine tools 
to be installed in its automobile plant in boycotting country Y. The 
computers are mounted on a separate bracket on the side of the equipment 
and are readily identifiable by brand name. A orders the tools from U.S. 
supplier C and specifies that C must incorporate computers manufactured 
by D, a non-blacklisted company. A would have chosen computers 
manufactured by E, except that E is blacklisted, and Y's import laws 
prohibit the importation of goods manufactured by blacklisted firms.
    A may refuse to purchase E's computers, because A is importing the 
computers for its

[[Page 785]]

own use in its manufacturing operations in Y.
    (ii) A, a subsidiary of U.S. company B, is a bona fide resident of 
boycotting country Y. To meet the needs of its employees in Y, A imports 
certain specifically identifiable commissary items for sale, such as 
cosmetics; and canteen items, such as candy. In selecting such items for 
importation into Y, A chooses items made only by non-blacklisted firms, 
because Y's import laws prohibit importation of goods from blacklisted 
firms.
    A may import these items only from non-blacklisted firms, because 
the importation of goods for consumption by A's employees is an 
importation for A's own use.
    (iii) A, a U.S. construction company which is a bona fide resident 
of boycotting country Y, has a contract to build a hospital complex for 
the Ministry of Health in Y. Under the contract, A will be general 
manager of the project with discretion to choose all subcontractors and 
suppliers. The complex is to be built on a turnkey basis, with A 
retaining title to the property and bearing all financial risk until the 
complex is conveyed to Y. In choosing specifically identifiable goods 
for import, such as central air conditioning units and plate glass, A 
excludes blacklisted suppliers in order to comply with Y's import laws. 
These goods are customarily incorporated into, or permanently affixed as 
a functional part of, the project.
    A may refuse to deal with blacklisted suppliers of specifically 
identifiable goods, because importation of goods by a general contractor 
to be incorporated into a construction project in Y is an importation of 
goods for A's own use.
    (iv) Same as (iii), except that, in addition, in choosing U.S. 
architects and engineers to work on the project, A excludes blacklisted 
firms, because Y's import laws prohibit the use of services rendered by 
blacklisted persons.
    A may not refuse to deal with blacklisted architectural or 
engineering firms, because this exception does not apply to the import 
of services. It is irrelevant that, at some stage, the architectural or 
engineering drawings or plans may be brought to the site in Y. This 
factor is insufficient to transform such services into ``goods'' for 
purposes of this exception.
    (v) Same as (iii), except that the project is to be completed on a 
``cost plus'' basis, with Y making progress payments to A at various 
stages of completion.
    A may refuse to deal with blacklisted suppliers of specifically 
identifiable goods, because the importation of goods by A to be 
incorporated in a project A is under contract to complete is an 
importation of goods for its own use. The terms of payment are 
irrelevant.
    (vi) A, a U.S. construction company which is a bona fide resident of 
boycotting country Y, has a contract for the construction of an office 
building in Y on a turnkey basis. In choosing goods to be used or 
included in the office complex, A orders wallboard, office partitions, 
and lighting fixtures from non-blacklisted manufacturers. A likewise 
orders desks, office chairs, typewriters, and office supplies from non-
blacklisted manufacturers.
    Because they are customarily incorporated into or permanently 
affixed as a functional part of an office building, the wallboard, 
office partitions, and lighting fixtures are for A's own use, and A may 
select non-blacklisted suppliers of these goods in order to comply with 
Y's import laws. Because they are not customarily incorporated into or 
permanently affixed to the project, the desks, office chairs, 
typewriters, and office supplies are not for A's own use, and A may not 
make boycott-based selections of the suppliers of these goods.
    (vii) A, a U.S. company engaged in the business of selling 
automobiles, is a bona fide resident of boycotting country Y. In 
ordering automobiles from time to time for purposes of stocking its 
inventory, A purchases from U.S. manufacturer B, but not U.S. 
manufacturer C, because C is blacklisted. Retail sales are subsequently 
made from this inventory.
    A's import of automobiles from B is not an import for A's own use, 
because the importation of items for general inventory in a retail sales 
operation is not an importation for one's own use.
    (viii) A, a U.S. company engaged in the manufacture of 
pharmaceutical products, is a bona fide resident of boycotting country 
Y. In importing chemicals for incorporation into the pharmaceutical 
products, A purchases from U.S. supplier B, but not U.S. supplier C, 
because C is blacklisted.
    A may import chemicals from B rather than C, because the importation 
of specifically identifiable items for incorporation into another 
product is an importation for one's own use.
    (ix) A, a U.S. management company which is a bona fide resident of 
boycotting country Y, has a contract with the Ministry of Education in Y 
to purchase supplies for Y's school system. From time to time, A 
purchases goods from abroad for delivery to various schools in Y.
    A's purchase of goods for Y's school system does not constitute an 
importation of goods for A's own use, because A is acting as a 
procurement agent for another. A, therefore, cannot make boycott-based 
selections of suppliers of such school supplies.
    (x) A, a U.S. company which is a bona fide resident of boycotting 
country Y, has a contract to make purchases for Y in connection

[[Page 786]]

with a construction project in Y. A is not engaged in the construction 
of, or in any other activity in connection with, the project. A's role 
is merely to purchase goods for Y and arrange for their delivery to Y.
    A is not purchasing goods for its own use, because A is acting as a 
procurement agent for Y. A, therefore, cannot make boycott selections of 
suppliers of such goods.
    (xi) A, a U.S. company which is a bona fide resident of boycotting 
country Y, imports specifically identifiable goods into Y for exhibit by 
A at a trade fair in Y. In selecting goods for exhibit, A excludes items 
made by blacklisted firms.
    A's import of goods for its exhibit at a trade fair constitutes an 
import for A's own use. However, A may not sell in Y those goods it 
imported for exhibit.
    (xii) A is a bona fide resident of boycotting countries Y and Z. In 
compliance with Y's boycott laws, A chooses specifically identifiable 
goods for its oil drilling operations in Y and Z by excluding 
blacklisted suppliers. The goods are first imported into Y. Those 
purchased for A's use in Z are then transshipped to Z.
    In selecting those goods for importation into Y, A is making an 
import selection for its own use, even though A may use some of the 
imported goods in Z. Further, the subsequent shipment from Y to Z of 
those goods purchased for use in Z is an import into Z for A's own use.

[61 FR 12862, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 34946, June 1, 2000; 73 
FR 68327, Nov. 18, 2008]



Sec.760.4  Evasion.

    (a) No United States person may engage in any transaction or take 
any other action, either independently or through any other person, with 
intent to evade the provisions of this part. Nor may any United States 
person assist another United States person to violate or evade the 
provisions of this part.
    (b) The exceptions set forth in Sec.760.3(a) through (i) do not 
permit activities or agreements (express or implied by a course of 
conduct, including a pattern of responses) which are otherwise 
prohibited by this part and which are not within the intent of such 
exceptions. However, activities within the coverage and intent of the 
exceptions set forth in this part do not constitute evasion regardless 
of how often such exceptions are utilized.
    (c) Use of any artifice, device or scheme which is intended to place 
a person at a commercial disadvantage or impose on him special burdens 
because he is blacklisted or otherwise restricted for boycott reasons 
from having a business relationship with or in a boycotting country will 
be regarded as evasion for purposes of this part.
    (d) Unless permitted under one of the exceptions, use of risk of 
loss provisions that expressly impose a financial risk on another 
because of the import laws of a boycotting country may constitute 
evasion. If they are introduced after January 18, 1978, their use will 
be presumed to constitute evasion. This presumption may be rebutted by a 
showing that such a provision is in customary usage without distinction 
between boycotting and non-boycotting countries and that there is a 
legitimate non-boycott reason for its use. On the other hand, use of 
such a provision by a United States person subsequent to January 18, 
1978 is presumed not to constitute evasion if the provision had been 
customarily used by that person prior to January 18, 1978.
    (e) Use of dummy corporations or other devices to mask prohibited 
activity will also be regarded as evasion. Similarly, it is evasion 
under this part to divert specific boycotting country orders from a 
United States parent to a foreign subsidiary for purposes of complying 
with prohibited boycott requirements. However, alteration of a person's 
structure or method of doing business will not constitute evasion so 
long as the alteration is based on legitimate business considerations 
and is not undertaken solely to avoid the application of the 
prohibitions of this part. The facts and circumstances of an arrangement 
or transaction will be carefully scrutinized to see whether appearances 
conform to reality.

                                Examples

    The following examples are intended to give guidance to persons in 
determining circumstances in which this section will apply. They are 
illustrative, not comprehensive.
    (i) A, a U.S. insurance company, receives a request from boycotting 
country Y asking whether it does business in boycotted country X. 
Because furnishing such information is prohibited, A declines to answer 
and as a result is placed on Y's blacklist. The following year, A's 
annual report contains new information about A's worldwide operations, 
including a list of all countries in which A

[[Page 787]]

does business. A then mails a copy of its annual report, which has never 
before contained such information, to officials of the government of 
country Y.
    Absent some business justification unrelated to the boycott for 
changing the annual report in this fashion, A's action constitutes 
evasion of this part.
    (ii) A, a U.S. construction firm resident in boycotting country Y, 
orders lumber from U.S. company B. A unilaterally selects B in part 
because U.S. lumber producer C is blacklisted by Y and C's products are 
therefore not importable. In placing its order with B, A requests that B 
stamp its name or logo on the lumber so that A ``can be certain that it 
is, in fact, receiving B's products.'' B does not normally so stamp its 
lumber, and A's purpose in making the request is to appear to fit within 
the unilateral selection exception of this part.
    Absent additional facts justifying A's action, A's action 
constitutes evasion of this part.
    (iii) A, a U.S. company, has been selling sewing machines to 
boycotting country Y for a number of years. A receives a request for a 
negative certificate of origin from a new customer. A is aware that 
furnishing such certificates are prohibited; therefore, A arranges to 
have all future shipments run through a foreign corporation in a third 
country which will affix the necessary negative certificate before 
forwarding the machines on to Y.
    A's action constitutes evasion of this part, because it is a device 
to mask prohibited activity carried out on A's behalf.
    (iv) A, a U.S. company, has been selling calculators to distributor 
B in country C for a number of years and routinely supplies positive 
certificates of origin. A receives an order from country Y which 
requires negative certificates of origin. A arranges to make all future 
sales to distributor B in country C. A knows B will step in and make the 
sales to Y which A would otherwise have made directly. B will make the 
necessary negative certifications. A's warranty, which it will continue 
to honor, runs to the purchaser in Y.
    A's action constitutes evasion, because the diverting of orders to B 
is a device to mask prohibited activity carried out on A's behalf.
    (v) A, a U.S. company, is negotiating a long-term contract with 
boycotting country Y to meet all Y's medical supply needs. Y informs A 
that before such a contract can be concluded, A must complete Y's 
boycott questionnaire. A knows that it is prohibited from answering the 
questionnaire so it arranges for a local agent in Y to supply the 
necessary information.
    A's action constitutes evasion of this part, because it is a device 
to mask prohibited activity carried out on A's behalf.
    (vi) A, a U.S. contractor which has not previously dealt with 
boycotting country Y, is awarded a construction contract by Y. Because 
it is customary in the construction industry for a contractor to 
establish an on-site facility for the duration of the project, A 
establishes such an office, which satisfies the requirements for bona 
fide residency. Thereafter, A's office in Y takes a number of actions 
permitted under the compliance with local law exception.
    A's actions do not constitute evasion, because A's facility in Y was 
established for legitimate business reasons.
    (vii) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, is 
located in non-boycotting country M. A and B both make machine tools for 
sale in their respective marketing regions. B's marketing region 
includes boycotting country Y. After assessing the requirements of this 
part, B decides that it can no longer make machines for sale in Y. 
Instead, A decides to expand its facilities in M in order to service the 
Y market.
    The actions of A and B do not constitute evasion, because there is a 
legitimate business reason for their actions. It is irrelevant that the 
effect may be to place sales which would otherwise have been subject to 
this part beyond the reach of this part.
    (viii) A, a U.S. manufacturer, from time to time receives purchase 
orders from boycotting country Y which A fills from its plant in the 
United States. A knows that it is about to receive an order from Y which 
contains a request for a certification which A is prohibited from 
furnishing under this part. In order to permit the certification to be 
made, A diverts the purchase order to its foreign subsidiary.
    A's diversion of the purchase order constitutes evasion of this 
part, because it is a device to mask prohibited activity carried out on 
A's behalf.
    (ix) A, a U.S. company, is engaged in assembling drilling rigs for 
shipment to boycotting country Y. Because of potential difficulties in 
securing entry into Y of materials supplied by blacklisted firms, A 
insists that blacklisted firms take a 15 percent discount on all 
materials which they supply to A. As a result, no blacklisted firms are 
willing to transact with A.
    A's insistence on the discount for materials supplied by blacklisted 
firms constitutes evasion of this part, because it is a device or scheme 
which is intended to place a special burden on blacklisted firms because 
of Y's boycott.
    (x) Same as (ix), except that shortly after January 18, 1978, A, a 
U.S. company, insists that its suppliers sign contracts which provide 
that even after title passes from the supplier to A, the supplier will 
bear the risk of loss and indemnify A if goods which the supplier has 
furnished are denied entry into Y for boycott reasons.

[[Page 788]]

    A's action constitutes evasion of this part, because it is a device 
or scheme which is intended to place a special burden on blacklisted 
persons because of Y's boycott.
    (xi) Same as (x), except that A customarily insisted on such an 
arrangement with its supplier prior to January 18, 1978.
    A's action is presumed not to constitute evasion, because use of 
this contractual arrangement was customary for A prior to January 18, 
1978.
    (xii) A, a U.S. company, has a contract to supply automobile sub-
assembly units to boycotting country Y. Shortly after January 18, 1978, 
A insists that its suppliers sign contracts which provide that even 
after title passes to A, the supplier will bear the risk of loss and 
indemnify A if goods which the supplier has furnished are denied entry 
into boycotting country Y for any reason.
    A's insistence on this arrangement is presumed to constitute 
evasion, because it is a device which is intended to place a special 
burden on blacklisted firms because of Y's boycott. The presumption may 
be rebutted by competent evidence showing that use of such an 
arrangement is customary without regard to the boycotting or non-
boycotting character of the country to which it relates and that there 
is a legitimate non-boycott business reason for its use.
    (xiii) Same as (vii), except that A requires that all suppliers make 
in-country delivery.
    A's action does not constitute evasion, because it is an ordinary 
commercial practice to require in-country delivery of goods.
    (xiv) Same as (xii), except that A requires that title remain with 
the supplier until delivery in Y has been made.
    A's action does not constitute evasion, because it is ordinary 
commercial practice to require that title remain with the supplier until 
delivery has been made. This example is distinguishable from example 
(xii), because in example (xii) A had insisted on an extraordinary 
arrangement designed to require that the risk of loss remain with the 
supplier even after title had passed to A.
    (xv) U.S. bank A is contacted by U.S. company B to finance B's 
transaction with boycotting country Y. Payment will be effected through 
a letter of credit in favor of B at its U.S. address. A knows that the 
letter of credit will contain restrictive boycott conditions which would 
bar its implementation by A if the beneficiary were a U.S. person. A 
advises B of the boycott condition and suggests to B that the 
beneficiary should be changed to C, a shell corporation in non-
boycotting country M. The beneficiary is changed accordingly.
    The actions of both A and B constitute evasion of this part, because 
the arrangement is a device to mask prohibited activities.
    (xvi) Same as (xv), except that U.S. company B, the beneficiary of 
the letter of credit, arranges to change the beneficiary to B's foreign 
subsidiary so that A can implement the letter of credit. A knows that 
this has been done.
    A's implementation of the letter of credit in the face of its 
knowledge of B's action constitutes evasion of this part, because A's 
action is part of a device to mask prohibited activity by both parties.
    (xvii) U.S. bank A, located in the United States, is contacted by 
foreign company B to finance B's transaction with boycotting country Y. 
B is a controlled subsidiary of a U.S. company. The transaction which is 
to be financed with a letter of credit payable to B at its foreign 
address, requires B to certify that none of its board members are of a 
particular religious faith. Since B cannot legally furnish the 
certificate, it asks A to convey the necessary information to Y through 
A's bank branch in Y. Such information would be furnished wholly outside 
the letter of credit transaction.
    A's action constitutes evasion of this part, because it is 
undertaken to assist B's violation of this part.
    (xviii) U.S. bank A is asked by foreign corporation B to implement a 
letter of credit in favor of B so that B might perform under its long-
term contract with boycotting country Y. Under the terms of the letter 
of credit, B is required to certify that none of its suppliers is 
blacklisted. A knows that it cannot implement a letter of credit with 
this condition, so it tells B to negotiate the elimination of this 
requirement from the letter of credit and instead supply the 
certification to Y directly.
    A's suggestion to B that it provide the negative certification to Y 
directly constitutes evasion of this part, because A is taking an action 
through another person to mask prohibited activity on A's part.

Sec.760.5  Reporting requirements.

    (a) Scope of reporting requirements. (1) A United States person who 
receives a request to take any action which has the effect of furthering 
or supporting a restrictive trade practice or boycott fostered or 
imposed by a foreign country against a country friendly to the United 
States or against any United States person must report such request to 
the Department of Commerce in accordance with the requirements of this 
section. Such a request may be either written or oral and may include a 
request to furnish information or enter into or implement an agreement. 
It may also include a solicitation, directive, legend or instruction 
that asks

[[Page 789]]

for information or that asks that a United States person take or refrain 
from taking a particular action. Such a request shall be reported 
regardless of whether the action requested is prohibited or permissible 
under this part, except as otherwise provided by this section.
    (2) For purposes of this section, a request received by a United 
States person is reportable if he knows or has reason to know that the 
purpose of the request is to enforce, implement, or otherwise further, 
support, or secure compliance with an unsanctioned foreign boycott or 
restrictive trade practice.
    (i) A request received by a United States person located in the 
United States is reportable if it is received in connection with a 
transaction or activity in the interstate or foreign commerce of the 
United States, as determined under Sec.760.1(d)(1) through (5) and 
(18) of this part.
    (ii) A request received by a United States person located outside 
the United States (that is, a foreign subsidiary, partnership, 
affiliate, branch, office, or other permanent foreign establishment 
which is controlled in fact by any domestic concern, as determined under 
Sec.760.1(c) of this part) is reportable if it is received in 
connection with a transaction or activity in the interstate or foreign 
commerce of the United States, as determined under Sec.760.1(d)(6) 
through (17) and (19) of this part.
    (iii) A request such as a boycott questionnaire, unrelated to a 
particular transaction or activity, received by any United States person 
is reportable when such person has or anticipates a business 
relationship with or in a boycotting country involving the sale, 
purchase or transfer of goods or services (including information) in the 
interstate or foreign commerce of the United States, as determined under 
Sec.760.1(d) of this part.
    (3) These reporting requirements apply to all United States persons. 
They apply whether the United States person receiving the request is an 
exporter, bank or other financial institution, insurer, freight 
forwarder, manufacturer, or any other United States person subject to 
this part.
    (4) The acquisition of information about a boycotting country's 
boycott requirements through the receipt or review of books, pamphlets, 
legal texts, exporters' guidebooks and other similar publications does 
not constitute receipt of a reportable request for purposes of this 
section. In addition, a United States person who receives an unsolicited 
invitation to bid, or similar proposal, containing a boycott request has 
not received a reportable request for purposes of this section where he 
does not respond to the invitation to bid or other proposal.
    (5) Because of the use of certain terms for boycott and non-boycott 
purposes; because of Congressional mandates to provide clear and precise 
guidelines in areas of inherent uncertainty; and because of the 
Department's commitment to minimize paperwork and reduce the cost of 
reporting where it will not impair the Department's ability to continue 
to monitor foreign boycotts, the following specific requests are not 
reportable:
    (i) A request to refrain from shipping goods on a carrier which 
flies the flag of a particular country or which is owned, chartered, 
leased or operated by a particular country or by nationals or residents 
of a particular country, or a request to certify to that effect.
    (ii) A request to ship goods via a prescribed route, or a request to 
refrain from shipping goods via a proscribed route, or a request to 
certify to either effect.
    (iii) A request to supply an affirmative statement or certification 
regarding the country of origin of goods.
    (iv) A request to supply an affirmative statement or certification 
regarding the name of the supplier or manufacturer of the goods shipped 
or the name of the provider of services.
    (v) A request to comply with the laws of another country except 
where the request expressly requires compliance with that country's 
boycott laws.
    (vi) A request to an individual to supply information about himself 
or a member of his family for immigration, passport, visa, or employment 
purposes.
    (vii) A request to supply an affirmative statement or certification 
indicating the destination of exports or

[[Page 790]]

confirming or otherwise indicating that such cargo will be unloaded or 
discharged at a particular destination.
    (viii) A request to supply a certificate by the owner, master, 
charterer, or any employee thereof, that a vessel, aircraft, truck or 
any other mode of transportation is eligible, otherwise eligible, 
permitted, or allowed to enter, or not restricted from entering, a 
particular port, country, or group of countries pursuant to the laws, 
rules, or regulations of that port, country, or group of countries.
    (ix) A request to supply a certificate from an insurance company 
stating that the insurance company has a duly authorized agent or 
representative within a boycotting country and/or the name and address 
of such agent.
    (x) A request to comply with a term or condition of a transaction 
that provides that the vendor bear the risk of loss and indemnify the 
purchaser if the vendor's goods are denied entry into a country for any 
reason (``risk of loss clause'') if such clause was in use by the 
purchaser prior to January 18, 1978.
    (6) No United States person may engage in any transaction or take 
any other action, either independently or through any other person, with 
intent to evade the provisions of this part.
    (7) From time to time the Department will survey domestic concerns 
for purposes of determining the worldwide scope of boycott requests 
received by their controlled foreign subsidiaries and affiliates with 
respect to their activities outside United States commerce. This 
pertains to requests which would be reportable under this section but 
for the fact that the activities to which the requests relate are 
outside United States commerce. The information requested will include 
the number and nature of non-reportable boycott requests received, the 
action(s) requested, the actions(s) taken in response and the countries 
in which the requests originate. The results of such surveys, including 
the names of those surveyed, will be made public.
    (b) Manner of reporting. (1) Each reportable request must be 
reported. However, if more than one document (such as an invitation to 
bid, purchase order, or letter of credit) containing the same boycott 
request is received as part of the same transaction, only the first such 
request need be reported. Individual shipments against the same purchase 
order or letter of credit are to be treated as part of the same 
transaction. Each different boycott request associated with a given 
transaction must be reported, regardless of how or when the request is 
received.
    (2) Each United States person actually receiving a reportable 
request must report that request. However, such person may designate 
someone else to report on his behalf. For example, a United States 
company, if authorized, may report on behalf of its controlled foreign 
subsidiary or affiliates; a freight forwarder, if authorized, may report 
on behalf of the exporter; and a bank, if authorized, may report on 
behalf of the beneficiary of a letter of credit. If a person designated 
to report a request received by another receives an identical request 
directed to him in connection with the same transaction, he may file one 
report on behalf of himself and the other person.
    (3) Where a person is designated to report on behalf of another, the 
person receiving the request remains liable for any failure to report or 
for any representations made on his behalf. Further, anyone reporting on 
behalf of another is not relieved of his own responsibility for 
reporting any boycott request which he receives, even if it is an 
identical request in connection with the same transaction.
    (4) Reports may be submitted by mail or electronically. Mailed paper 
reports must be submitted in duplicate to: Report Processing Staff, 
Office of Antiboycott Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 
6098, Washington, DC 20230. Electronic reports must be submitted in 
duplicate, by following the prompts on the screen, through the Office of 
Antiboycott Compliance Web page of the BIS Web site, http://bis.doc.gov/
index.php/enforcement/oac?id=300. Each submission, whether paper or 
electronic, must be made in accordance with the following requirements:
    (i) Where the person receiving the request is a United States person 
located in the United States, each report of requests must be postmarked 
or electronically date-stamped by the last day

[[Page 791]]

of the month following the calendar quarter in which the request was 
received (e.g., April 30 for the quarter consisting of January, 
February, and March).
    (ii) Where the person receiving the request is a United States 
person located outside the United States, each report of requests must 
be postmarked or electronically date-stamped by the last day of the 
second month following the calendar quarter in which the request was 
received (e.g., May 31 for the quarter consisting of January, February, 
and March).
    (5) Mailed paper reports may, at the reporting person's option, be 
submitted on either a single transaction form (Form BIS-621P, Report of 
Request for Restrictive Trade Practice or Boycott, Single Transaction, 
(revised 10-89)) or on a multiple transaction form (Form BIS-6051P, 
Report of Request for Restrictive Trade Practice or Boycott, Multiple 
Transactions, (revised 10-89)). Electronic reports may be submitted only 
on the single transaction form, which will electronically reproduce the 
reporting person's identifying information to facilitate reporting of 
multiple transactions.
    (6) Reports, whether submitted on the paper single transaction form 
or on the paper multiple transaction form, or submitted electronically, 
must contain entries for every applicable item on the form, including 
whether the reporting person intends to take or has taken the action 
requested. If the reporting person has not decided what action he will 
take by the time the report is required to be filed, he must later 
report the action he decides to take within 10 business days after 
deciding. In addition, anyone filing a report on behalf of another must 
so indicate and identify that other person.
    (7) Each report of a boycott request, whether submitted by mail or 
electronically, must be accompanied by two copies of the relevant 
page(s) of any document(s) in which the request appears (see, paragraph 
(c)(2) of this section). For mail submissions, the relevant pages shall 
be attached in paper format to the report form; for electronic 
submissions, the relevant pages shall be attached in PDF format to the 
electronic submission. Reports, whether paper or electronic, may also be 
accompanied by any additional information relating to the request as the 
reporting person desires to provide concerning his response to the 
request. For electronic submissions, such additional information should 
be provided as a PDF attachment.
    (8) Records containing information relating to a reportable boycott 
request, including a copy of any document(s) in which the request 
appears, must be maintained by the recipient for a five-year period 
after receipt of the request. The Department may require that these 
materials be submitted to it or that it have access to them at any time 
within that period. (See part 762 of the EAR for additional 
recordkeeping requirements.)
    (c) Disclosure of information. (1) Reports of requests received on 
or after October 7, 1976, as well as any accompanying documents filed 
with the reports, have been and will continue to be made available for 
public inspection and copying, except for certain proprietary 
information. With respect to reports of requests received on or after 
August 1, 1978, if the person making the report certifies that a United 
States person to whom the report relates would be placed at a 
competitive disadvantage because of the disclosure of information 
regarding the quantity, description, or value of any articles, 
materials, and supplies, including related technical data and other 
information, whether contained in a report or in any accompanying 
document(s), such information will not be publicly disclosed except upon 
failure by the reporting entity to edit the public inspection copy of 
the accompanying document(s) as provided by paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section, unless the Secretary of Commerce determines that the disclosure 
would not place the United States person involved at a competitive 
disadvantage or that it would be contrary to the national interest to 
withhold the information. In the event the Secretary of Commerce 
considers making such a determination concerning competitive 
disadvantage, appropriate notice and an opportunity for comment will be 
given before any

[[Page 792]]

such proprietary information is publicly disclosed. In no event will 
requests of reporting persons to withhold any information contained in 
the report other than that specified in this paragraph be honored.
    (2) Because a copy of any document(s) accompanying the report will 
be made available for public inspection and copying, one copy must be 
submitted intact and another copy must be edited by the reporting entity 
to delete the same information which it certified in the report would 
place a United States person at a competitive disadvantage if disclosed. 
In addition, the reporting entity may delete from this copy information 
that is considered confidential and that is not required to be contained 
in the report (e.g., information related to foreign consignee). This 
copy should be conspicuously marked with the legend ``Public Inspection 
Copy.'' With respect to documents accompanying reports received by the 
Department on or after July 1, 1979, the public inspection copy will be 
made available as submitted whether or not it has been appropriately 
edited by the reporting entity as provided by this paragraph.
    (3) Reports and accompanying documents which are available to the 
public for inspection and copying are located in the BIS Freedom of 
Information Records Inspection Facility, Room 4525, Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 
20230. Requests to inspect such documents should be addressed to that 
facility.
    (4) The Secretary of Commerce will periodically transmit summaries 
of the information contained in the reports to the Secretary of State 
for such action as the Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
Secretary of Commerce, may deem appropriate for carrying out the 
policies in section 8(b)(2) of the Export Administration Act of 1979.

                                Examples

    The following examples are intended to give guidance in determining 
what is reportable. They are illustrative, not comprehensive.
    (i) A, a U.S. manufacturer, is shipping goods to boycotting country 
Y and is asked by Y to certify that it is not blacklisted by Y's boycott 
office.
    The request to A is reportable, because it is a request to A to 
comply with Y's boycott requirements.
    (ii) A, a U.S. manufacturing company, receives an order for tractors 
from boycotting country Y. Y's order specifies that the tires on the 
tractors be made by B, another U.S. company. A believes Y has specified 
B as the tire supplier because otherwise A would have used tires made by 
C, a blacklisted company, and Y will not take shipment of tractors 
containing tires made by blacklisted companies.
    A must report Y's request for tires made by B, because A has reason 
to know that B was chosen for boycott reasons.
    (iii) Same as (ii), except A knows that Y's request has nothing to 
do with the boycott but simply reflects Y's preference for tires made by 
B.
    Y's request is not reportable, because it is unrelated to Y's 
boycott.
    (iv) Same as (ii), except A neither knows nor has reason to know why 
Y has chosen B.
    Y's request is not reportable, because A neither knows nor has 
reason to know that Y's request is based on Y's boycott.
    (v) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, is a 
resident of boycotting country Y. A is a general contractor. After being 
supplied by A with a list of competent subcontractors, A's customer 
instructs A to use subcontractor C on the project. A believes that C was 
chosen because, among other things, the other listed subcontractors are 
blacklisted.
    The instruction to A by its customer that C be used on the project 
is reportable, because it is a request to comply with Y's boycott 
requirements.
    (vi) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, is 
located in non-boycotting country P. A receives an order for washing 
machines from boycotting country Y. Y instructs A that a negative 
certificate of origin must accompany the shipment. The washing machines 
are made wholly in P, without U.S. components.
    Y's instruction to A regarding the negative certificate of origin is 
not reportable, because the transaction to which it relates is not in 
U.S. commerce.
    (vii) Same as (vi), except that A obtains components from the United 
States for the purpose of filling the order from Y. Y's instruction to A 
regarding the negative certificate of origin is reportable, because the 
transaction to which it relates is in U.S. commerce.
    (viii) A, a U.S. construction company, receives in the mail an 
unsolicited invitation to bid on a construction project in boycotting 
country Y. The invitation to bid requires those who respond to certify 
that they do not have any plants or branch offices in boycotted country 
X. A does not respond.

[[Page 793]]

    A's receipt of the unsolicited invitation to bid is not reportable, 
because the request does not relate to any present or anticipated 
business of A with or in Y.
    (ix) Same as (viii), except that A receives a boycott questionnaire 
from a central boycott office. A does not do business in any of the 
boycotting countries involved, and does not anticipate doing any 
business in those countries. A does not respond.
    A's receipt of the boycott questionnaire is not reportable, because 
it does not relate to any present or anticipated business by A with or 
in a boycotting country.
    (x) A, a U.S. manufacturer, is seeking markets in which to expand 
its exports. A sends a representative to boycotting country Y to explore 
Y's potential as a market for A's products. A's representative discusses 
its products but does not enter into any contracts on that trip. A does, 
however, hope that sales will materialize in the future. Subsequently, A 
receives a boycott questionnaire from Y.
    A's receipt of the boycott questionnaire is reportable, because the 
request relates to A's anticipated business with or in a boycotting 
country. For purposes of determining whether a report is required, it 
makes no difference whether A responds to the questionnaire, and it 
makes no difference that actual sales contracts are not in existence or 
do not materialize.
    (xi) Same as (x), except that A's representative enters into a 
contract to sell A's products to a buyer in boycotting country Y. 
Subsequently, A receives a boycott questionnaire from Y.
    A's receipt of the boycott questionnaire is reportable, because it 
relates to A's present business with or in a boycotting country. For 
purposes of determining whether a report is required, it makes no 
difference whether A responds to the questionnaire.
    (xii) A, a U.S. freight forwarder, purchases an exporter's guidebook 
which includes the import requirements of boycotting country Y. The 
guidebook contains descriptions of actions which U.S. exporters must 
take in order to make delivery of goods to Y.
    A's acquisition of the guidebook is not reportable, because he has 
not received a request from anyone.
    (xiii) A, a U.S. freight forwarder, is arranging for the shipment of 
goods to boycotting country Y at the request of B, a U.S. exporter. B 
asks A to assume responsibility to assure that the documentation 
accompanying the shipment is in compliance with Y's import requirements. 
A examines an exporters' guidebook, determines that Y's import 
regulations require a certification that the insurer of the goods is not 
blacklisted and asks U.S. insurer C for such a certification.
    B's request to A is reportable by A, because it constitutes a 
request to comply with Y's boycott as of the time A takes action to 
comply with Y's boycott requirements in response to the request. A's 
request to C is reportable by C.
    (xiv) A, a U.S. freight forwarder, is arranging for the shipment of 
U.S. goods to boycotting country Y. The manufacturer supplies A with all 
the necessary documentation to accompany the shipment. Among the 
documents supplied by the manufacturer is his certificate that he 
himself is not blacklisted. A transmits the documentation supplied by 
the manufacturer.
    A's action in merely transmitting documents received from the 
manufacturer is not reportable, because A has received no request to 
comply with Y's boycott.
    (xv) Same as (xiv), except that A is asked by U.S. exporter B to 
assume the responsibility to assure that the necessary documentation 
accompanies the shipment whatever that documentation might be. B 
forwards to A a letter of credit which requires that a negative 
certificate of origin accompany the bill of lading. A supplies a 
positive certificate of origin.
    Both A and B must report receipt of the letter of credit, because it 
contains a request to both of them to comply with Y's boycott.
    (xvi) Same as (xiv), except that the manufacturer fails to supply a 
required negative certificate of origin, and A is subsequently asked by 
a consular official of Y to see to it that the certificate is supplied. 
A supplies a positive certificate of origin.
    The consular official's request to A is reportable by A, because A 
was asked to comply with Y's boycott requirements by supplying the 
negative certificate of origin.
    (xvii) A, a U.S. manufacturer, is shipping goods to boycotting 
country Y. Arrangements have been made for freight forwarder B to handle 
the shipment and secure all necessary shipping certifications. B notes 
that the letter of credit requires that the manufacturer supply a 
negative certificate of origin and B asks A to do so. A supplies a 
positive certificate of origin.
    B's request to A is reportable by A, because A is asked to comply 
with Y's boycott requirements by providing the negative certificate.
    (xviii) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, is a 
resident of boycotting country Y. A is engaged in oil exploration and 
drilling operations in Y. In placing orders for drilling equipment to be 
shipped from the United States, A, in compliance with Y's laws, selects 
only those suppliers who are not blacklisted.
    A's action in choosing non-blacklisted suppliers is not reportable, 
because A has not received a request to comply with Y's boycott in 
making these selections.
    (xix) A, a controlled foreign subsidiary of U.S. company B, is 
seeking permission to do business in boycotting country Y. Before

[[Page 794]]

being granted such permission, A is asked to sign an agreement to comply 
with Y's boycott laws.
    The request to A is reportable, because it is a request that 
expressly requires compliance with Y's boycott law and is received in 
connection with A's anticipated business in Y.
    (xx) A, a U.S. bank, is asked by a firm in boycotting country Y to 
confirm a letter of credit in favor of B, a U.S. company. The letter of 
credit calls for a certificate from B that the goods to be supplied are 
not produced by a firm blacklisted by Y. A informs B of the letter of 
credit, including its certification condition, and sends B a copy.
    B must report the certification request contained in the letter of 
credit, and A must report the request to confirm the letter of credit 
containing the boycott condition, because both are being asked to comply 
with Y's boycott.
    (xxi) Same as (xx), except that the letter of credit calls for a 
certificate from the beneficiary that the goods will not be shipped on a 
vessel that will call at a port in boycotted country X before making 
delivery in Y.
    The request is not reportable, because it is a request of a type 
deemed by this section to be in common use for non-boycott purposes.
    (xxii) A, a U.S. company, receives a letter of credit from 
boycotting country Y stating that on no condition may a bank blacklisted 
by Y be permitted to negotiate the credit.
    A's receipt of the letter of credit is reportable, because it 
contains a request to A to comply with Y's boycott requirements.
    (xxiii) A, a U.S. bank, receives a demand draft from B, a U.S. 
company, in connection with B's shipment of goods to boycotting country 
Y. The draft contains a directive that it is valid in all countries 
except boycotted country X.
    A's receipt of the demand draft is reportable, because it contains a 
request to A to comply with Y's boycott requirements.
    (xxiv) A, a U.S. exporter, receives an order from boycotting country 
Y. On the order is a legend that A's goods, invoices, and packaging must 
not bear a six-pointed star or other symbol of boycotted country X.
    A's receipt of the order is reportable, because it contains a 
request to comply with Y's boycott requirements.
    (xxv) Same as (xxiv), except the order contains a statement that 
goods exported must not represent part of war reparations to boycotted 
country X.
    A's receipt of the order is reportable, because it contains a 
request to A to comply with Y's boycott requirements.
    (xxvi) A, a U.S. contractor, is negotiating with boycotting country 
Y to build a school in Y. During the course of the negotiations, Y 
suggests that one of the terms of the construction contract be that A 
agree not to import materials produced in boycotted country X. It is A's 
company policy not to agree to such a contractual clause, and A suggests 
that instead it agree that all of the necessary materials will be 
obtained from U.S. suppliers. Y agrees to A's suggestion and a contract 
is executed.
    A has received a reportable request, but, for purposes of reporting, 
the request is deemed to be received when the contract is executed.
    (xxvii) Same as (xxvi), except Y does not accept A's suggested 
alternative clause and negotiations break off.
    A's receipt of Y's request is reportable. For purposes of reporting, 
it makes no difference that A was not successful in the negotiations. 
The request is deemed to be received at the time the negotiations break 
off.
    (xxviii) A, a U.S. insurance company, is insuring the shipment of 
drilling equipment to boycotting country Y. The transaction is being 
financed by a letter of credit which requires that A certify that it is 
not blacklisted by Y. Freight forwarder B asks A to supply the 
certification in order to satisfy the requirements of the letter of 
credit.
    The request to A is reportable by A, because it is a request to 
comply with Y's boycott requirements.
    (xxix) A, a U.S. manufacturer, is engaged from time-to-time in 
supplying drilling rigs to company B in boycotting country Y. B insists 
that its suppliers sign contracts which provide that, even after title 
passes from the supplier to B, the supplier will bear the risk of loss 
and indemnify B if goods which the supplier has furnished are denied 
entry into Y for whatever reason. A knows or has reason to know that 
this contractual provision is required by B because of Y's boycott, and 
that B has been using the provision since 1977. A receives an order from 
B which contains such a clause.
    B's request is not reportable by A, because the request is deemed to 
be not reportable by these regulations if the provision was in use by B 
prior to January 18, 1978.
    (xxx) Same as (xxix), except that A does not know when B began using 
the provision.
    Unless A receives information from B that B introduced the term 
prior to January 18, 1978, A must report receipt of the request.
    (xxxi) A, a U.S. citizen, is a shipping clerk for B, a U.S. 
manufacturing company. In the course of his employment, A receives an 
order for goods from boycotting country Y. The order specifies that none 
of the components of the goods is to be furnished by blacklisted firms.
    B must report the request received by its employee, A, acting in the 
scope of his employment. Although A is a U.S. person, such an individual 
does not have a separate obligation to report requests received by him 
in his capacity as an employee of B.
    (xxxii) U.S. exporter A is negotiating a transaction with boycotting 
country Y. A

[[Page 795]]

knows that at the conclusion of the negotiations he will be asked by Y 
to supply certain boycott-related information and that such a request is 
reportable. In an effort to forestall the request and thereby avoid 
having to file a report, A supplies the information in advance.
    A is deemed to have received a reportable request.
    (xxxiii) A, a controlled foreign affiliate of U.S. company B, 
receives an order for computers from boycotting country Y and obtains 
components from the United States for the purpose of filling the order. 
Y instructs A that a negative certificate of origin must accompany the 
shipment.
    Y's instruction to A regarding the negative certificate of origin is 
reportable by A. Moreover, A may designate B or any other person to 
report on its behalf. However, A remains liable for any failure to 
report or for any representations made on its behalf.
    (xxxiv) U.S. exporter A, in shipping goods to boycotting country Y, 
receives a request from the customer in Y to state on the bill of lading 
that the vessel is allowed to enter Y's ports. The request further 
states that a certificate from the owner or master of the vessel to that 
effect is acceptable.
    The request A received from his customer in Y is not reportable 
because it is a request of a type deemed to be not reportable by these 
regulations. (A may not make such a statement on the bill of lading 
himself, if he knows or has reason to know it is requested for a boycott 
purpose.)
    (xxxv) U.S. exporter A, in shipping goods to boycotting country Y, 
receives a request from the customer in Y to furnish a certificate from 
the owner of the vessel that the vessel is permitted to call at Y's 
ports.
    The request A received from his customer in Y is not reportable 
because it is a request of a type deemed to be not reportable by these 
regulations.
    (xxxvi) U.S. exporter A, in shipping goods to boycotting country Y, 
receives a request from the customer in Y to furnish a certificate from 
the insurance company indicating that the company has a duly authorized 
representative in country Y and giving the name of that representative.
    The request A received from his customer in Y is not reportable if 
it was received after the effective date of these rules, because it is a 
request of a type deemed to be not reportable by these regulations.

           Sec. Supplement No. 1 to Part 760--Interpretations

    It has come to the Department's attention that some U.S. persons are 
being or may be asked to comply with new boycotting country requirements 
with respect to shipping and insurance certifications and certificates 
of origin. It has also come to the Department's attention that some U.S. 
persons are being or may be asked to agree to new contractual provisions 
in connection with certain foreign government or foreign government 
agency contracts. In order to maximize its guidance with respect to 
section 8 of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 
U.S.C. app. 2407) and part 760 of the EAR, the Department hereby sets 
forth its views on these certifications and contractual clauses. \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Department originally issued this interpretation pursuant to 
the Export Administration Amendments Act of 1979 (Public Law 95-52) and 
the regulations on restrictive trade practices and boycotts (15 CFR part 
369) published on January 25, 1978 (43 FR 3508) and contained in the 15 
CFR edition revised as of January 1, 1979.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                            I. Certifications

    Sec.760.2(d) of this part prohibits a U.S. person from furnishing 
or knowingly agreeing to furnish:
    ``Information concerning his or any other person's past, present or 
proposed business relationships:
    (i) With or in a boycotted country;
    (ii) With any business concern organized under the laws of a 
boycotted country;
    (iii) With any national or resident of a boycotted country; or
    (iv) With any other person who is known or believed to be restricted 
from having any business relationship with or in a boycotting country.''
    This prohibition, like all others under part 760, applies only with 
respect to a U.S. person's activities in the interstate or foreign 
commerce of the United States and only when such activities are 
undertaken with intent to comply with, further, or support an 
unsanctioned foreign boycott. (Sec.760.2(d)(5) of this part.)
    This prohibition does not apply to the furnishing of normal business 
information in a commercial context. (Sec.760.2(d)(3) of this part). 
Normal business information furnished in a commercial context does not 
cease to be such simply because the party soliciting the information may 
be a boycotting country or a national or resident thereof. If the 
information is of a type which is generally sought for a legitimate 
business purpose (such as determining financial fitness, technical 
competence, or professional experience), the information may be 
furnished even if the information could be used, or without the 
knowledge of the person supplying the information is intended to be 
used, for boycott purposes. (Sec.760.2(d)(4) of this part).

[[Page 796]]

    The new certification requirements and the Department's 
interpretation of the applicability of part 760 thereto are as follows:
    A. Certificate of origin. A certificate of origin is to be issued by 
the supplier or exporting company and authenticated by the exporting 
country, attesting that the goods exported to the boycotting country are 
of purely indigenous origin, and stating the name of the factory or the 
manufacturing company. To the extent that the goods as described on the 
certificate of origin are not solely and exclusively products of their 
country of origin indicated thereon, a declaration must be appended to 
the certificate of origin giving the name of the supplier/manufacturer 
and declaring:
    ``The undersigned, ______, does hereby declare on behalf of the 
above-named supplier/manufacturer, that certain parts or components of 
the goods described in the attached certificate of origin are the 
products of such country or countries, other than the country named 
therein as specifically indicated hereunder:

    Country of Origin and Percentage of Value of Parts or Components 
                       Relative to Total Shipment

1.______________________________________________________________________
2.______________________________________________________________________
3.______________________________________________________________________
Dated:__________________________________________________________________
Signature_______________________________________________________________
    Sworn to before me, this ____ day of ______, 20__. Notary Seal.''

                             Interpretation

    It is the Department's position that furnishing a positive 
certificate of origin, such as the one set out above, falls within the 
exception contained in Sec.760.3(c) of this part for compliance with 
the import and shipping document requirements of a boycotting country. 
See Sec.760.3(c) of this part and examples (i) and (ii) thereunder.
    B. Shipping certificate. A certificate must be appended to the bill 
of lading stating: (1) Name of vessel; (2) Nationality of vessel; and 
(3) Owner of vessel, and declaring:
    ``The undersigned does hereby declare on behalf of the owner, 
master, or agent of the above-named vessel that said vessel is not 
registered in the boycotted country or owned by nationals or residents 
of the boycotted country and will not call at or pass through any 
boycotted country port enroute to its boycotting country destination.
    ``The undersigned further declares that said vessel is otherwise 
eligible to enter into the ports of the boycotting country in conformity 
with its laws and regulations.
    Sworn to before me, this ____ day of _____, 20__. Notary Seal.''

                             Interpretation

    It is the Department's position that furnishing a certificate, such 
as the one set out above, stating: (1) The name of the vessel, (2) The 
nationality of the vessel, and (3) The owner of the vessel and further 
declaring that the vessel: (a) Is not registered in a boycotted country, 
(b) Is not owned by nationals or residents of a boycotted country, and 
(c) Will not call at or pass through a boycotted country port enroute to 
its destination in a boycotting country falls within the exception 
contained in Sec.760.3(c) for compliance with the import and shipping 
document requirements of a boycotting country. See Sec.760.3(c) and 
examples (vii), (viii), and (ix) thereunder.
    It is also the Department's position that the owner, charterer, or 
master of a vessel may certify that the vessel is ``eligible'' or 
``otherwise eligible'' to enter into the ports of a boycotting country 
in conformity with its laws and regulations. Furnishing such a statement 
pertaining to one's own eligibility offends no prohibition under this 
part 760. See Sec.760.2(f), example (xiv).
    On the other hand, where a boycott is in force, a declaration that a 
vessel is ``eligible'' or ``otherwise eligible'' to enter the ports of 
the boycotting country necessarily conveys the information that the 
vessel is not blacklisted or otherwise restricted from having a business 
relationship with the boycotting country. See Sec.760.3(c) examples 
(vi), (xi), and (xii). Where a person other than the vessel's owner, 
charterer, or master furnishes such a statement, that is tantamount to 
his furnishing a statement that he is not doing business with a 
blacklisted person or is doing business only with non-blacklisted 
persons. Therefore, it is the Department's position that furnishing such 
a certification (which does not reflect customary international 
commercial practice) by anyone other than the owner, charterer, or 
master of a vessel would fall within the prohibition set forth in Sec.
760.2(d) unless it is clear from all the facts and circumstances that 
the certification is not required for a boycott reason. See Sec.
760.2(d)(3) and (4). See also part A., ``Permissible Furnishing of 
Information,'' of Supplement No. 5 to this part.
    C. Insurance certificate. A certificate must be appended to the 
insurance policy stating: (1) Name of insurance company; (2) Address of 
its principal office; and (3) Country of its incorporation, and 
declaring:
    ``The undersigned, ________, does hereby certify on behalf of the 
above-named insurance company that the said company has a duly qualified 
and appointed agent or representative in the boycotting country whose 
name and address appear below:
    Name of agent/representative and address in the boycotting country.

[[Page 797]]

    Sworn to before me this ____ day of ______, 20__. Notary Seal.''

                             Interpretation

    It is the Department's position that furnishing the name of the 
insurance company falls within the exception contained in Sec.760.3(c) 
for compliance with the import and shipping document requirements of a 
boycotting country. See Sec.760.3(c)(1)(v) and examples (v) and (x) 
thereunder. In addition, it is the Department's position that furnishing 
a certificate, such as the one set out above, stating the address of the 
insurance company's principal office and its country of incorporation 
offends no prohibition under this part 760 unless the U.S. person 
furnishing the certificate knows or has reason to know that the 
information is sought for the purpose of determining that the insurance 
company is neither headquartered nor incorporated in a boycotted 
country. See Sec.760.2(d)(1)(i).
    It is also the Department's position that the insurer, himself, may 
certify that he has a duly qualified and appointed agent or 
representative in the boycotting country and may furnish the name and 
address of his agent or representative. Furnishing such a statement 
pertaining to one's own status offends no prohibition under this part 
760. See Sec.760.2(f), example (xiv).
    On the other hand, where a boycott is in force, a declaration that 
an insurer ``has a duly qualified and appointed agent or 
representative'' in the boycotting country necessarily conveys the 
information that the insurer is not blacklisted or otherwise restricted 
from having a business relationship with the boycotting country. See 
Sec.760.3(c), example (v). Therefore, it is the Department's position 
that furnishing such a certification by anyone other than the insurer 
would fall within the prohibition set forth in Sec.760.2(d) unless it 
is clear from all the facts and circumstances that the certification is 
not required for a boycott reason. See Sec.760.2(d)(3) and (4).

                         II. Contractual Clauses

    The new contractual requirements and the Department's interpretation 
of the applicability of part 760 thereto are as follows:
    A. Contractual clause regarding import laws of boycotting country. 
``In connection with the performance of this contract the Contractor/
Supplier acknowledges that the import and customs laws and regulations 
of the boycotting country shall apply to the furnishing and shipment of 
any products or components thereof to the boycotting country. The 
Contractor/Supplier specifically acknowledges that the aforementioned 
import and customs laws and regulations of the boycotting country 
prohibit, among other things, the importation into the boycotting 
country of products or components thereof: (1) Originating in the 
boycotted country; (2) Manufactured, produced, or furnished by companies 
organized under the laws of the boycotted country; and (3) Manufactured, 
produced, or furnished by nationals or residents of the boycotted 
country.''

                             Interpretation

    It is the Department's position that an agreement, such as the one 
set out in the first sentence above, that the import and customs 
requirements of a boycotting country shall apply to the performance of a 
contract does not, in and of itself, offend any prohibition under this 
part 760. See Sec.760.2(a)(5) and example (iii) under ``Examples of 
Agreements To Refuse To Do Business.'' It is also the Department's 
position that an agreement to comply generally with the import and 
customs requirements of a boycotting country does not, in and of itself, 
offend any prohibition under this part 760. See Sec.760.2(a)(5) and 
examples (iv) and (v) under ``Examples of Agreements To Refuse To Do 
Business.'' In addition, it is the Department's position that an 
agreement, such as the one set out in the second sentence above, to 
comply with the boycotting country's import and customs requirements 
prohibiting the importation of products or components: (1) Originating 
in the boycotted country; (2) Manufactured, produced, or furnished by 
companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country; or (3) 
Manufactured, produced, or furnished by nationals or residents of the 
boycotted country falls within the exception contained in Sec.760.3(a) 
for compliance with the import requirements of a boycotting country. See 
Sec.760.3(a) and example (ii) thereunder.
    The Department notes that a United States person may not furnish a 
negative certification regarding the origin of goods or their components 
even though the certification is furnished in response to the import and 
shipping document requirements of the boycotting country. See Sec.
760.3(c) and examples (i) and (ii) thereunder, and Sec.760.3(a) and 
example (ii) thereunder.
    B. Contractual clause regarding unilateral and specific selection. 
``The Government of the boycotting country (or the First Party), in its 
exclusive power, reserves its right to make the final unilateral and 
specific selection of any proposed carriers, insurers, suppliers of 
services to be performed within the boycotting country, or of specific 
goods to be furnished in accordance with the terms and conditions of 
this contract.''

                             Interpretation

    It is the Department's position that an agreement, such as the one 
set out above, falls within the exception contained in Sec.760.3(d) of 
this part for compliance with unilateral selections. However, the 
Department

[[Page 798]]

notes that whether a U.S. person may subsequently comply or agree to 
comply with any particular selection depends upon whether that selection 
meets all the requirements contained in Sec.760.3(d) of this part for 
compliance with unilateral selections. For example, the particular 
selection must be unilateral and specific, particular goods must be 
specifically identifiable as to their source or origin at the time of 
their entry into the boycotting country, and all other requirements 
contained in Sec.760.3(d) of this part must be observed.

FR 13470, Feb. 28, 2013]



            Sec. Supplement No. 2 to Part 760--Interpretation

    The Department hereby sets forth its views on whether the furnishing 
of certain shipping and insurance certificates in compliance with 
boycotting country requirements violates the provisions of section 8 of 
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 2407) 
and part 760 of the EAR, \1\ as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Department originally issued this interpretation on April 
21, 1978 (43 FR 16969) pursuant to the Export Administration Amendments 
Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-52) and the regulations on restrictive trade 
practices and boycotts (15 CFR part 369) published on January 25, 1978 
(43 FR 3508) and contained in the 15 CFR edition revised as of January 
1, 1979.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (i) ``The owner, charterer or master of a vessel may certify that 
the vessel is `eligible' or `otherwise eligible' to enter into the ports 
of a boycotting country in conformity with its laws and regulations;''
    (ii) ``The insurer, himself, may certify that he has a duly 
qualified and appointed agent or representative in the boycotting 
country and may furnish the name and address of his agent or 
representative.''
    Furnishing such certifications by anyone other than:
    (i) The owner, charterer or master of a vessel, or
    (ii) The insurer would fall within the prohibition set forth in 
Sec.760.2(d) of this part, ``unless it is clear from all the facts and 
circumstances that these certifications are not required for a boycott 
reason.'' See Sec.760.2(d) (3) and (4) of this part.
    The Department has received from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a 
clarification that the shipping and insurance certifications are 
required by Saudi Arabia in order to:
    (i) Demonstrate that there are no applicable restrictions under 
Saudi laws or regulations pertaining to maritime matters such as the age 
of the ship, the condition of the ship, and similar matters that would 
bar entry of the vessel into Saudi ports; and
    (ii) Facilitate dealings with insurers by Saudi Arabian importers 
whose ability to secure expeditious payments in the event of damage to 
insured goods may be adversely affected by the absence of a qualified 
agent or representative of the insurer in Saudi Arabia. In the 
Department's judgment, this clarification constitutes sufficient facts 
and circumstances to demonstrate that the certifications are not 
required by Saudi Arabia for boycott reasons.
    On the basis of this clarification, it is the Department's position 
that any United States person may furnish such shipping and insurance 
certificates required by Saudi Arabia without violating Sec.760.2(d) 
of this part. Moreover, under these circumstances, receipts of requests 
for such shipping and insurance certificates from Saudi Arabia are not 
reportable.
    It is still the Department's position that furnishing such a 
certificate pertaining to one's own eligibility offends no prohibition 
under part 760. See Sec.760.2(f) of this part, example (xiv). However, 
absent facts and circumstances clearly indicating that the 
certifications are required for ordinary commercial reasons as 
demonstrated by the Saudi clarification, furnishing certifications about 
the eligibility or blacklist status of any other person would fall 
within the prohibition set forth in Sec.760.2(d) of this part, and 
receipts of requests for such certifications are reportable.
    It also remains the Department's position that where a United States 
person asks an insurer or carrier of the exporter's goods to self-
certify, such request offends no prohibition under this part. However, 
where a United States person asks anyone other than an insurer or 
carrier of the exporter's goods to self-certify, such requests will be 
considered by the Department as evidence of the requesting person's 
refusal to do business with those persons who cannot or will not furnish 
such a self-certification. For example, if an exporter-beneficiary of a 
letter of credit asks his component suppliers to self-certify, such a 
request will be considered as evidence of his refusal to do business 
with those component suppliers who cannot or will not furnish such a 
self-certification.
    The Department wishes to emphasize that notwithstanding the fact 
that self-certifications are permissible, it will closely scrutinize the 
activities of all United States persons who provide such self-
certifications, including insurers and carriers, to determine that such 
persons have not taken any prohibited actions or entered into any 
prohibited agreements in order to be able to furnish such 
certifications.

            Sec. Supplement No. 3 to Part 760--Interpretation

    Pursuant to Article 2, Annex II of the Peace Treaty between Egypt 
and Israel, Egypt's participation in the Arab economic boycott of Israel 
was formally terminated on January 25, 1980. On the basis of this 
action, it is the Department's position that certain requests for 
information, action or agreement which were considered boycott-related 
by implication now cannot be presumed boycott-related and thus would not 
be prohibited or reportable under the Regulations. For example, a 
request that an exporter certify that the vessel on which it is shipping 
its goods is eligible to enter Arab Republic of Egypt ports has been 
considered a boycott-related request that the exporter could not comply 
with because Egypt has a boycott in force against Israel (see 43 FR 
16969, April 21, 1978 or the 15 CFR edition revised as of January 1, 
1979). Such a request after January 25, 1980 would not be presumed 
boycott-related because the underlying boycott requirement/basis for the 
certification has been eliminated. Similarly, a U.S. company would not 
be prohibited from complying with a request received from Egyptian 
government officials to furnish the place of birth of employees the 
company is seeking to take to Egypt, because there is no underlying 
boycott law or policy that would give rise to a presumption that the 
request was boycott-related.
    U.S. persons are reminded that requests that are on their face 
boycott-related or that are for action obviously in furtherance or 
support of an unsanctioned foreign boycott are subject to the 
Regulations, irrespective of the country or origin. For example, 
requests containing references to ``blacklisted companies'', ``Israel 
boycott list'', ``non-Israeli goods'' or other phrases or words 
indicating boycott purpose would be subject to the appropriate 
provisions of the Department's antiboycott regulations.



            Sec. Supplement No. 4 to Part 760--Interpretation

    The question has arisen how the definition of U.S. commerce in the 
antiboycott regulations (15 CFR part 760) applies to a shipment of 
foreign-made goods when U.S.-origin spare parts are included in the 
shipment. Specifically, if the shipment of foreign goods falls outside 
the definition of U.S. commerce, will the inclusion of U.S.-origin spare 
parts bring the entire transaction into U.S. commerce?
    Section 760.1(d)(12) provides the general guidelines for determining 
when U.S.-origin goods shipped from a controlled in fact foreign 
subsidiary are outside U.S. commerce. The two key tests of that 
provision are that the goods were ``(i) * * * acquired without reference 
to a specific order from or transaction with a person outside the United 
States; and (ii) * * * further manufactured, incorporated into, refined 
into, or reprocessed into another product.'' Because the application of 
these two tests to spare parts does not conclusively answer the U.S. 
commerce question, the Department is presenting this clarification.
    In the cases brought to the Department's attention, an order for 
foreign-origin goods was placed with a controlled in fact foreign 
subsidiary of a United States company. The foreign goods contained 
components manufactured in the United States and in other countries, and 
the order included a request for extras of the U.S. manufactured 
components (spare parts) to allow the customer to repair the item. Both 
the foreign manufactured product and the U.S. spare parts were to be 
shipped from the general inventory of the foreign subsidiary. Since the 
spare parts, if shipped by themselves, would be in U.S. commerce as that 
term is defined in the Regulations, the question was whether including 
them with the foreign manufactured item would bring the entire shipment 
into U.S. commerce. The Department has decided that it will not and 
presents the following specific guidance.
    As used above, the term ``spare parts'' refers to parts of the 
quantities and types normally and customarily ordered with a product and 
kept on hand in the event they are needed to assure prompt repair of the 
product. Parts, components or accessories that improve or change the 
basic operations or design characteristics, for example, as to accuracy, 
capability or productivity, are not spare parts under this definition.
    Inclusion of U.S.-origin spare parts in a shipment of products which 
is otherwise outside U.S. commerce will not bring the transaction into 
U.S. commerce if the following conditions are met:
    (I) The parts included in the shipment are acquired from the United 
States by the controlled in fact foreign subsidiary without reference to 
a specific order from or transaction with a person outside the United 
States;
    (II) The parts are identical to the corresponding United States-
origin parts which have been manufactured, incorporated into or 
reprocessed into the completed product;
    (III) The parts are of the quantity and type normally and 
customarily ordered with the completed product and kept on hand by the 
firm or industry of which the firm is a part to assure prompt repair of 
the product; and
    (IV) The parts are covered by the same order as the completed 
product and are shipped with or at the same time as the original 
product.
    The Department emphasizes that unless each of the above conditions 
is met, the inclusion of United States-origin spare parts in

[[Page 800]]

an order for a foreign-manufactured or assembled product will bring the 
entire transaction into the interstate or foreign commerce of the United 
States for purposes of part 760.

            Sec. Supplement No. 5 to Part 760--Interpretation

                A. Permissible Furnishing of Information

    The information outlined below may be furnished in response to 
boycott-related requests from boycotting countries or others. This 
information is, in the view of the Department, not prohibited by the 
Regulations. Thus, a person does not have to qualify under any of the 
exceptions to be able to make the following statements. Such statements 
can be made, however, only by the person indicated and under the 
circumstances described. These statements should not be used as a point 
of departure or analogy for determining the permissibility of other 
types of statements. The Department's view that these statements are not 
contrary to the prohibitions contained in antiboycott provisions of the 
Regulations is limited to the specific statement in the specific context 
indicated.
    1. A U.S. person may always provide its own name, address, place of 
incorporation (``nationality''), and nature of business.
    2. A U.S. person may state that it is not on a blacklist, or 
restricted from doing business in a boycotting country. A company may 
not make that statement about its subsidiaries or affiliates--only about 
itself. A U.S. person may not say that there is no reason for it to be 
blacklisted. To make that statement would provide directly or by 
implication information that may not be provided. A U.S. person may 
inquire about the reasons it is blacklisted if it learns that it is on a 
blacklist (see Sec.760.2(d) of this part example (xv)).
    3. A U.S. person may describe in detail its past dealings with 
boycotting countries; may state in which boycotting countries its 
trademarks are registered; and may specify in which boycotting countries 
it is registered or qualified to do business. In general, a U.S. person 
is free to furnish any information it wishes about the nature and extent 
of its commercial dealings with boycotting countries.
    4. A U.S. person may state that many U.S. firms or individuals have 
similar names and that it believes that it may be confused with a 
similarly named entity. A U.S. person may not state that it does or does 
not have an affiliation or relationship with such similarly named 
entity.
    5. A U.S. person may state that the information requested is a 
matter of public record in the United States. However, the person may 
not direct the inquirer to the location of that information, nor may the 
U.S. person provide or cause to be provided such information.

B. Availability of the Compliance With Local Law Exception To Establish 
                            a Foreign Branch

    Section 760.3(g), the Compliance With Local Law exception, permits 
U.S. persons, who are bona fide residents of a boycotting country, to 
take certain limited, but otherwise prohibited, actions, if they are 
required to do so in order to comply with local law.
    Among these actions is the furnishing of non-discriminatory 
information. Examples (iv) through (vi) under ``Examples of Bona Fide 
Residency'' indicate that a company seeking to become a bona fide 
resident within a boycotting country may take advantage of the exception 
for the limited purpose of furnishing information required by local law 
to obtain resident status. Exactly when and how this exception is 
available has been the subject of a number of inquiries. It is the 
Department's view that the following conditions must be met for a non-
resident company to be permitted to furnish otherwise prohibited 
information for the limited purpose of seeking to become a bona fide 
resident:
    1. The company must have a legitimate business reason for seeking to 
establish a branch or other resident operation in the boycotting 
country. (Removal from the blacklist does not constitute such a reason.)
    2. The local operation it seeks to establish must be similar or 
comparable in nature and operation to ones the company operates in other 
parts of the world, unless local law or custom dictates a significantly 
different form.
    3. The person who visits the boycotting country to furnish the 
information must be the official whose responsibility ordinarily 
includes the creation and registration of foreign operations (i.e., the 
chairman of the board cannot be flown in to answer boycott questions 
unless the chairman of the board is the corporate official who 
ordinarily goes into a country to handle foreign registrations).
    4. The information provided must be that which is ordinarily known 
to the person establishing the foreign branch. Obviously, at the time of 
establishment, the foreign branch will have no information of its own 
knowledge. Rather, the information should be that which the responsible 
person has of his own knowledge, or that he would have with him as 
incidental and necessary to the registration and establishment process. 
As a general rule, such information would not include such things as 
copies of agreements with boycotted country concerns or detailed 
information about the person's dealings with blacklisted concerns.

[[Page 801]]

    5. It is not necessary that documents prepared in compliance with 
this exception be drafted or executed within the boycotting country. The 
restrictions on the type of information which may be provided and on who 
may provide it apply regardless of where the papers are prepared or 
signed.

[61 FR 12862, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 34949, June 1, 2000]



            Sec. Supplement No. 6 to Part 760--Interpretation

    The antiboycott regulations prohibit knowing agreements to comply 
with certain prohibited requests and requirements of boycotting 
countries, regardless of how these terms are stated. Similarly, the 
reporting rules require that a boycott related ``solicitation, 
directive, legend or instruction that asks for information or that asks 
that a United States person take or refrain from taking a particular 
action'' be reported. Questions have frequently arisen about how 
particular requirements in the form of directive or instructions are 
viewed under the antiboycott regulations, and we believe that it will 
add clarity to the regulations to provide a written interpretation of 
how three of these terms are treated under the law. The terms in 
question appear frequently in letters of credit, but may also be found 
on purchase orders or other shipping or sale documents. They have been 
brought to the attention of the Department by numerous persons. The 
terms are, or are similar to, the following: (1) Goods of boycotted 
country origin are prohibited; (2) No six-pointed stars may be used on 
the goods, packing or cases; (3) Neither goods nor packing shall bear 
any symbols prohibited in the boycotting country.
    (a) Goods of boycotted country origin prohibited. This term is very 
common in letters of credit from Kuwait and may also appear from time-
to-time in invitations to bid, contracts, or other trade documents. It 
imposes a condition or requirement compliance with which is prohibited, 
but permitted by an exception under the Regulations (see Sec.760.2(a) 
and Sec.760.3(a)). It is reportable by those parties to the letter of 
credit or other transaction that are required to take or refrain from 
taking some boycott related action by the request. Thus the bank must 
report the request because it is a term or condition of the letter of 
credit that it is handling, and the exporter-beneficiary must report the 
request because the exporter determines the origin of the goods. The 
freight forwarder does not have to report this request because the 
forwarder has no role or obligation in selecting the goods. However, the 
freight forwarder would have to report a request to furnish a 
certificate that the goods do not originate in or contain components 
from a boycotted country. See Sec.760.5, examples (xii)-(xvii).
    (b) No six-pointed stars may be used on the goods, packing or cases. 
This term appears from time-to-time on documents from a variety of 
countries. The Department has taken the position that the six-pointed 
star is a religious symbol. See Sec.760.2(b), example (viii) of this 
part. Agreeing to this term is prohibited by the Regulations and not 
excepted because it constitutes an agreement to furnish information 
about the religion of a U.S. person. See Sec.760.2(c) of this part. If 
a person proceeds with a transaction in which this is a condition at any 
stage of the transaction, that person has agreed to the condition in 
violation of the Regulations. It is not enough to ignore the condition. 
Exception must affirmatively be taken to this term or it must be 
stricken from the documents of the transaction. It is reportable by all 
parties to the transaction that are restricted by it. For example, 
unlike the situation described in (a) above, the freight forwarder would 
have to report this request because his role in the transaction would 
involve preparation of the packing and cases. The bank and exporter 
would both have to report, of course, if it were a term in a letter of 
credit. Each party would be obligated affirmatively to seek an amendment 
or deletion of the term.
    (c) Neither goods nor packaging shall bear any symbols prohibited in 
the boycotting country. This term appears from time-to-time in letters 
of credit and shipping documents from Saudi Arabia. In our view, it is 
neither prohibited, nor reportable because it is not boycott-related. 
There is a wide range of symbols that are prohibited in Saudi Arabia for 
a variety of reasons, many having to do with that nation's cultural and 
religious beliefs. On this basis, we do not interpret the term to be 
boycott related. See Sec.760.2(a)(5) and Sec.760.5(a)(5)(v) of this 
part.

[61 FR 12862, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 34949, June 1, 2000]



            Sec. Supplement No. 7 to Part 760--Interpretation

                    Prohibited Refusal To Do Business

    When a boycotting country rejects for boycott-related reasons a 
shipment of goods sold by a United States person, the United States 
person selling the goods may return them to its inventory or may re-ship 
them to other markets (the United States person may not return them to 
the original supplier and demand restitution). The U.S. person may then 
make a non-boycott based selection of another supplier and provide the 
goods necessary to meet its obligations to the boycotting customer in 
that particular transaction without violating Sec.760.2(a) of this

[[Page 802]]

part. If the United States person receives another order from the same 
boycotting country for similar goods, the Department has determined that 
a boycott-based refusal by a United States person to ship goods from the 
supplier whose goods were previously rejected would constitute a 
prohibited refusal to do business under Sec.760.2(a) of this part. The 
Department will presume that filling such an order with alternative 
goods is evidence of the person's refusal to deal with the original 
supplier.
    The Department recognizes the limitations this places on future 
transactions with a boycotting country once a shipment of goods has been 
rejected. Because of this, the Department wishes to point out that, when 
faced with a boycotting country's refusal to permit entry of the 
particular goods, a United States person may state its obligation to 
abide by the requirements of United States law and indicate its 
readiness to comply with the unilateral and specific selection of goods 
by the boycotting country in accordance with Sec.760.3(d). That 
section provides, in pertinent part, as follows:
    ``A United States person may comply or agree to comply in the normal 
course of business with the unilateral and specific selection by a 
boycotting country * * * of * * * specific goods, * * * provided that * 
* * with respect to goods, the items, in the normal course of business, 
are identifiable as to their source or origin at the time of their entry 
into the boycotting country by (a) uniqueness of design or appearance or 
(b) trademark, trade name, or other identification normally on the items 
themselves, including their packaging.''
    The United States person may also provide certain services in 
advance of the unilateral selection by the boycotting country, such as 
the compilation of lists of qualified suppliers, so long as such 
services are customary to the type of business the United States person 
is engaged in, and the services rendered are completely non-exclusionary 
in character (i.e., the list of qualified suppliers would have to 
include the supplier whose goods had previously been rejected by the 
boycotting country, if they were fully qualified). See Sec.760.2(a)(6) 
of this part for a discussion of the requirements for the provision of 
these services.
    The Department wishes to emphasize that the unilateral selection 
exception in Sec.760.3(d) of this part will be construed narrowly, and 
that all its requirements and conditions must be met, including the 
following:

--Discretion for the selection must be exercised by a boycotting 
country; or by a national or resident of a boycotting country;
--The selection must be stated in the affirmative specifying a 
particular supplier of goods;
--While a permissible selection may be boycott based, if the United 
States person knows or has reason to know that the purpose of the 
selection is to effect discrimination against any United States person 
on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin, the person may 
not comply under any circumstances.

    The Department cautions United States persons confronted with the 
problem or concern over the boycott-based rejection of goods shipped to 
a boycotting country that the adoption of devices such as ``risk of 
loss'' clauses, or conditions that make the supplier financially liable 
if his or her goods are rejected by the boycotting country for boycott 
reasons are presumed by the Department to be evasion of the statute and 
regulations, and as such are prohibited by Sec.760.4 of this part, 
unless adopted prior to January 18, 1978. See Sec.760.4(d) of this 
part.

            Sec. Supplement No. 8 to Part 760--Interpretation

    Definition of Interstate or Foreign Commerce of the United States

    When United States persons (as defined by the antiboycott 
regulations) located within the United States purchase or sell goods or 
services located outside the United States, they have engaged in an 
activity within the foreign commerce of the United States. Although the 
goods or services may never physically come within the geographic 
boundaries of the several states or territories of the United States, 
legal ownership or title is transferred from a foreign nation to the 
United States person who is located in the United States. In the case of 
a purchase, subsequent resale would also be within United States 
commerce.
    It is the Department's view that the terms ``sale'' and ``purchase'' 
as used in the regulations are not limited to those circumstances where 
the goods or services are physically transferred to the person who 
acquires title. The EAR define the activities that serve as the 
transactional basis for U.S. commerce as those involving the ``sale, 
purchase, or transfer'' of goods or services. In the Department's view, 
as used in the antiboycott regulations, ``transfer'' contemplates 
physical movement of the goods or services between the several states or 
territories and a foreign country, while ``sale'' and ``purchase'' 
relate to the movement of ownership or title.
    This interpretation applies only to those circumstances in which the 
person located within the United States buys or sells goods or services 
for its own account. Where the United States person is engaged in the 
brokerage of foreign goods, i.e., bringing foreign buyers and sellers 
together and assisting in

[[Page 803]]

the transfer of the goods, the sale or purchase itself would not 
ordinarily be considered to be within U.S. commerce. The brokerage 
service, however, would be a service provided from the United States to 
the parties and thus an activity within U.S. commerce and subject to the 
antiboycott laws. See Sec.760.1(d)(3).
    The Department cautions that United States persons who alter their 
normal pattern of dealing to eliminate the passage of ownership of the 
goods or services to or from the several states or territories of the 
United States in order to avoid the application of the antiboycott 
regulations would be in violation of Sec.760.4 of this part.

[61 FR 12862, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 34950, June 1, 2000]



            Sec. Supplement No. 9 to Part 760--Interpretation

     Activities Exclusively Within a Boycotting Country--Furnishing 
                               Information

    Sec.760.3(h) of this part provides that a United States person who 
is a bona fide resident of a boycotting country may comply with the laws 
of that country with respect to his or her activities exclusively within 
the boycotting country. Among the types of conduct permitted by this 
exception is ``furnishing information within the host country'' Sec.
760.3(h)(1)(v) of this part. For purposes of the discussion which 
follows, the Department is assuming that the person in question is a 
bona fide resident of the boycotting country as defined in Sec.
760.3(g), and that the information to be provided is required by the 
laws or regulations of the boycotting country, as also defined in Sec.
760.3(g) of this part. The only issue this interpretation addresses is 
under what circumstances the provision of information is ``an activity 
exclusively within the boycotting country.''
    The activity of ``furnishing information'' consists of two parts, 
the acquisition of the information and its subsequent transmittal. Under 
the terms of this exception, the information may not be acquired outside 
the country for the purpose of responding to the requirement for 
information imposed by the boycotting country. Thus, if an American 
company which is a bona fide resident of a boycotting country is 
required to provide information about its dealings with other U.S. 
firms, the company may not ask its parent corporation in the United 
States for that information, or make any other inquiry outside the 
boundaries of the boycotting country. The information must be provided 
to the boycotting country authorities based on information or knowledge 
available to the company and its personnel located within the boycotting 
country at the time the inquiry is received. See Sec.760.3, (h) of 
this part, examples (iii), (iv), and (v). Much of the information in the 
company's possession (transaction and corporate records) may have 
actually originated outside the boycotting country, and much of the 
information known to the employees may have been acquired outside the 
boycotting country. This will not cause the information to fall outside 
the coverage of this exception, if the information was sent to the 
boycotting country or acquired by the individuals in normal commercial 
context prior to and unrelated to a boycott inquiry or purpose. It 
should be noted that if prohibited information (about business relations 
with a boycotted country, for example) has been forwarded to the 
affiliate in the boycotting country in anticipation of a possible 
boycott inquiry from the boycotting country government, the Department 
will not regard this as information within the knowledge of the bona 
fide resident under the terms of the exception. However, if the bona 
fide resident possesses the information prior to receipt of a boycott-
related inquiry and obtained it in a normal commercial context, the 
information can be provided pursuant to this exception notwithstanding 
the fact that, at some point, the information came into the boycotting 
country from the outside.
    The second part of the analysis of ``furnishing information'' deals 
with the limitation on the transmittal of the information. It can only 
be provided within the boundaries of the boycotting country. The bona 
fide resident may only provide the information to the party that the 
boycotting country law requires (directly or through an agent or 
representative within the country) so long as that party is located 
within the boycotting country. This application of the exception is 
somewhat easier, since it is relatively simple to determine if the 
information is to be given to somebody within the country.
    Note that in discussing what constitutes furnishing information 
``exclusively within'' the boycotting country, the Department does not 
address the nature of the transaction or activity that the information 
relates to. It is the Department's position that the nature of the 
transaction, including the inception or completion of the transaction, 
is not material in analyzing the availability of this exception.
    For example, if a shipment of goods imported into a boycotting 
country is held up at the time of entry, and information from the bona 
fide resident within that country is legally required to free those 
goods, the fact that the information may relate to a transaction that 
began outside the boycotting country is not material. The availability 
of the exception will be judged based on the activity of the bona fide 
resident within the

[[Page 804]]

country. If the resident provides that information of his or her own 
knowledge, and provides it to appropriate parties located exclusively 
within the country, the exception permits the information to be 
furnished.
    Factual variations may raise questions about the application of this 
exception and the effect of this interpretation. In an effort to 
anticipate some of these, the Department has set forth below a number of 
questions and answers. They are incorporated as a part of this 
interpretation.
    1. Q. Under this exception, can a company which is a U.S. person and 
a bona fide resident of the boycotting country provide information to 
the local boycott office?
    A. Yes, if local law requires the company to provide this 
information to the boycott office and all the other requirements are 
met.
    2. Q. If the company knows that the local boycott office will 
forward the information to the Central Boycott Office, may it still 
provide the information to the local boycott office?
    A. Yes, if it is required by local law to furnish the information to 
the local boycott office and all the other requirements are met. The 
company has no control over what happens to the information after it is 
provided to the proper authorities. (There is obvious potential for 
evasion here, and the Department will examine such occurrences closely.)
    3. Q. Can a U.S. person who is a bona fide resident of Syria furnish 
information to the Central Boycott Office in Damascus?
    A. No, unless the law in Syria specifically requires information to 
be provided to the Central Boycott Office the exception will not apply. 
Syria has a local boycott office responsible for enforcing the boycott 
in that country.
    4. Q. If a company which is a U.S. person and a bona fide resident 
of the boycotting country has an import shipment held up in customs of 
the boycotting country, and is required to provide information about the 
shipment to get it out of customs, may the company do so?
    A. Yes, assuming all other requirements are met. The act of 
furnishing the information is the activity taking place exclusively 
within the boycotting country. The fact that the information is provided 
corollary to a transaction that originates or terminates outside the 
boycotting country is not material.
    5. Q. If the U.S. person and bona fide resident of the boycotting 
country is shipping goods out of the boycotting country, and is required 
to certify to customs officials of the country at the time of export 
that the goods are not of Israeli origin, may he do so even though the 
certification relates to an export transaction?
    A. Yes, assuming all other requirements are met. See number 4 above.

[61 FR 12862, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 34950, June 1, 2000]



           Sec. Supplement No. 10 to Part 760--Interpretation

    (a) The words ``Persian Gulf'' cannot appear on the document.
    This term is common in letters of credit from Kuwait and may be 
found in letters of credit from Bahrain. Although more commonly 
appearing in letters of credit, the term may also appear in other trade 
documents.
    It is the Department's view that this term reflects a historical 
dispute between the Arabs and the Iranians over geographic place names 
which in no way relates to existing economic boycotts. Thus, the term is 
neither prohibited nor reportable under the Regulations.
    (b) Certify that goods are of U.S.A. origin and contain no foreign 
parts.
    This term appears periodically on documents from a number of Arab 
countries. It is the Department's position that the statement is a 
positive certification of origin and, as such, falls within the 
exception contained in Sec.760.3(c) of this part for compliance with 
the import and shipping document requirements of a boycotting country. 
Even though a negative phrase is contained within the positive clause, 
the phrase is a non-exclusionary, non-blacklisting statement. In the 
Department's view, the additional phrase does not affect the permissible 
status of the positive certificate, nor does it make the request 
reportable Sec.760.5(a)(5)(iii) of this part.
    (c) Legalization of documents by any Arab consulate except Egyptian 
Consulate permitted.
    This term appears from time to time in letters of credit but also 
may appear in various other trade documents requiring legalization and 
thus is not prohibited, and a request to comply with the statement is 
not reportable. Because a number of Arab states do not have formal 
diplomatic relations with Egypt, they do not recognize Egyptian embassy 
actions. The absence of diplomatic relations is the reason for the 
requirement. In the Department's view this does not constitute an 
unsanctioned foreign boycott or embargo against Egypt under the terms of 
the Export Administration Act. Thus the term is not prohibited, and a 
request to comply with the statement is not reportable.

           Sec. Supplement No. 11 to Part 760--Interpretation

               Definition of Unsolicited Invitation To Bid

    Sec.760.5(a)(4) of this part states in part:
    ``In addition, a United States person who receives an unsolicited 
invitation to bid, or similar proposal, containing a boycott request has 
not received a reportable request for purposes of this section where he 
does not respond to the invitation to bid or other proposal.''
    The Regulations do not define ``unsolicited'' in this context. Based 
on review of numerous situations, the Department has developed certain 
criteria that it applies in determining if an invitation to bid or other 
proposal received by a U.S. person is in fact unsolicited.
    The invitation is not unsolicited if, during a commercially 
reasonable period of time preceding the issuance of the invitation, a 
representative of the U.S. person contacted the company or agency 
involved for the purpose of promoting business on behalf of the company.
    The invitation is not unsolicited if the U.S. person has advertised 
the product or line of products that are the subject of the invitation 
in periodicals or publications that ordinarily circulate to the country 
issuing the invitation during a commercially reasonable period of time 
preceding the issuance of the invitation.
    The invitation is not unsolicited if the U.S. person has sold the 
same or similar products to the company or agency issuing the invitation 
within a commercially reasonable period of time before the issuance of 
the current invitation.
    The invitation is not unsolicited if the U.S. person has 
participated in a trade mission to or trade fair in the country issuing 
the invitation within a commercially reasonable period of time before 
the issuance of the invitation.
    Under Sec.760.5(a)(4) of this part, the invitation is regarded as 
not reportable if the U.S. person receiving it does not respond. The 
Department has determined that a simple acknowledgment of the invitation 
does not constitute a response for purposes of this rule. However, an 
acknowledgment that requests inclusion for future invitations will be 
considered a response, and a report is required.
    Where the person in receipt of an invitation containing a boycott 
term or condition is undecided about a response by the time a report 
would be required to be filed under the regulations, it is the 
Department's view that the person must file a report as called for in 
the Regulations. The person filing the report may indicate at the time 
of filing that he has not made a decision on the boycott request but 
must file a supplemental report as called for in the regulations at the 
time a decision is made (Sec.760.5(b)(6)).

           Sec. Supplement No. 12 to Part 760--Interpretation

    The Department has taken the position that a U.S. person as defined 
by Sec.760.1(b) of this part may not make use of an agent to furnish 
information that the U.S. person is prohibited from furnishing pursuant 
to Sec.760.2(d) of this part.
    Example (v) under Sec.760.4 of this part (Evasion) provides:
    ``A, a U.S. company, is negotiating a long-term contract with 
boycotting country Y to meet all of Y's medical supply needs. Y informs 
A that before such a contract can be concluded, A must complete Y's 
boycott questionnaire. A knows that it is prohibited from answering the 
questionnaire so it arranges for a local agent in Y to supply the 
necessary information.''
    ``A's action constitutes evasion of this part, because it is a 
device to mask prohibited activity carried out on A's behalf.''
    This interpretation deals with the application of the Regulations to 
a commercial agent registration requirement imposed by the government of 
Saudi Arabia. The requirement provides that nationals of Saudi Arabia 
seeking to register in Saudi Arabia as commercial agents or 
representatives of foreign concerns must furnish certain boycott-related 
information about the foreign concern prior to obtaining approval of the 
registration.
    The requirement has been imposed by the Ministry of Commerce of 
Saudi Arabia, which is the government agency responsible for regulation 
of commercial agents and foreign commercial registrations. The Ministry 
requires the agent or representative to state the following:
    ``Declaration: I, the undersigned, hereby declare, in my capacity as 
(blank) that (name and address of foreign principal) is not presently on 
the blacklist of the Office for the Boycott of Israel and that it and 
all its branches, if any, are bound by the decisions issued by the 
Boycott Office and do not (1) participate in the capital of, (2) license 
the manufacture of any products or grant trademarks or tradeware license 
to, (3) give experience or technical advice to, or (4) have any other 
relationship with other companies which are prohibited to be dealt with 
by the Boycott Office. Signed (name of commercial agent/representative/
distributor).''
    It is the Department's view that under the circumstances 
specifically outlined in this interpretation relating to the nature of 
the requirement, a U.S. person will not be held responsible for a 
violation of this part when

[[Page 806]]

such statements are provided by its commercial agent or representative, 
even when such statements are made with the full knowledge of the U.S. 
person.
    Nature of the requirement. For a boycott-related commercial 
registration requirement to fall within the coverage of this 
interpretation it must have the following characteristics:
    1. The requirement for information imposed by the boycotting country 
applies to a national or other subject of the boycotting country 
qualified under the local laws of that country to function as a 
commercial representative within that country;
    2. The registration requirement relates to the registration of the 
commercial agent's or representative's authority to sell or distribute 
goods within the boycotting country acquired from the foreign concern;
    3. The requirement is a routine part of the registration process and 
is not applied selectively based on boycott-related criteria;
    4. The requirement applies only to a commercial agent or 
representative in the boycotting country and does not apply to the 
foreign concern itself; and
    5. The requirement is imposed by the agency of the boycotting 
country responsible for regulating commercial agencies.
    The U.S. person whose agent is complying with the registration 
requirement continues to be subject to all the terms of the Regulations, 
and may not provide any prohibited information to the agent for purposes 
of the agent's compliance with the requirement.
    In addition, the authority granted to the commercial agent or 
representative by the U.S. person must be consistent with standard 
commercial practices and not involve any grants of authority beyond 
those incidental to the commercial sales and distributorship 
responsibilities of the agent.
    Because the requirement does not apply to the U.S. person, no 
reporting obligation under Sec.760.5 of this part would arise.
    This interpretation, like all others issued by the Department 
discussing applications of the antiboycott provisions of the Export 
Administration Regulations, should be read narrowly. Circumstances that 
differ in any material way from those discussed in this notice will be 
considered under the applicable provisions of the Regulations. Persons 
are particularly advised not to seek to apply this interpretation to 
circumstances in which U.S. principals seek to use agents to deal with 
boycott-related or potential blacklisting situations.

[61 FR 12862, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 34950, June 1, 2000]



           Sec. Supplement No. 13 to Part 760--Interpretation

                                 Summary

    This interpretation considers boycott-based contractual language 
dealing with the selection of suppliers and subcontractors. While this 
language borrows terms from the ``unilateral and specific selection'' 
exception contained in Sec.760.3(d), it fails to meet the requirements 
of that exception. Compliance with the requirements of the language 
constitutes a violation of the regulatory prohibition of boycott-based 
refusals to do business.

                          Regulatory Background

    Section 760.2(a) of this part prohibits U.S. persons from refusing 
or knowingly agreeing to refuse to do business with other persons when 
such refusal is pursuant to an agreement with, requirement of, or 
request of a boycotting country. That prohibition does not extend to the 
performance of management, procurement or other pre-award services, 
however, notwithstanding knowledge that the ultimate selection may be 
boycott-based. To be permissible such services: (1) Must be customary 
for the firm or industry involved and (2) must not exclude others from 
the transaction or involve other actions based on the boycott. See Sec.
760.2(a)(6) of this part, ``Refusals to Do Business'', and example 
(xiii).
    A specific exception is also made in the Regulations for compliance 
(and agreements to comply) with a unilateral and specific selection of 
suppliers or subcontractors by a boycotting country buyer. See Sec.
760.3(d) of this part. In supplement no. 1 to part 760, the following 
form of contractual language was said to fall within that exception for 
compliance with unilateral and specific selection:
    ``The Government of the boycotting country (or the First Party), in 
its exclusive power, reserves its right to make the final unilateral and 
specific selection of any proposed carriers, insurers, suppliers of 
services to be performed within the boycotting country, or of specific 
goods to be furnished in accordance with the terms and conditions of 
this contract.''
    The Department noted that the actual steps necessary to comply with 
any selection made under this agreement would also have to meet the 
requirements of Sec.760.3(d) to claim the benefit of that exception. 
In other words, the discretion in selecting would have to be exercised 
exclusively by the boycotting country customer and the selection would 
have to be stated in the affirmative, naming a particular supplier. See 
Sec.760.3(d) (4) and (5) of this part.

[[Page 807]]

               Analysis of Additional Contractual Language

    The Office of Antiboycott Compliance has learned of the introduction 
of a contractual clause into tender documents issued by boycotting 
country governments. This clause is, in many respects, similar to that 
dealt with in supplement no. 1 to part 760, but several critical 
differences exist.
    The clause states:

                 Boycott of [Name of Boycotted Country]

    In connection with the performance of this Agreement, Contractor 
acknowledges that the import and customs laws and regulations of 
boycotting country apply to the furnishing and shipment of any products 
or components thereof to boycotting country. The Contractor specifically 
acknowledges that the aforementioned import and customs laws and 
regulations of boycotting country prohibit, among other things, the 
importation into boycotting country of products or components thereof: 
(A) Originating in boycotted country; (B) Manufactured, produced and 
furnish by companies organized under the laws of boycotted country; and 
(C) Manufactured, produced or furnished by Nationals or Residents of 
boycotted country.
    The Government, in its exclusive power, reserves its right to make 
the final unilateral and specific selection of any proposed Carriers, 
Insurers, Suppliers of Services to be performed within boycotting 
country or of specific goods to be furnished in accordance with the 
terms and conditions of this Contract.
    To assist the Government in exercising its right under the preceding 
paragraph, Contractor further agrees to provide a complete list of names 
and addresses of all his Sub-Contractors, Suppliers, Vendors and 
Consultants and any other suppliers of the service for the project.
    The title of this clause makes clear that its provisions are 
intended to be boycott-related. The first paragraph acknowledges the 
applicability of certain boycott-related requirements of the boycotting 
country's laws in language reviewed in part 760, supplement no. 1, Part 
II.B. and found to constitute a permissible agreement under the 
exception contained in Sec.760.3(a) of this part for compliance with 
the import requirements of a boycotting country. The second and third 
paragraphs together deal with the procedure for selecting subcontractors 
and suppliers of services and goods and, in the context of the clause as 
a whole, must be regarded as motivated by boycott considerations and 
intended to enable the boycotting country government to make boycott-
based selections, including the elimination of blacklisted 
subcontractors and suppliers.
    The question is whether the incorporation into these paragraphs of 
some language from the ``unilateral and specific selection'' clause 
approved in supplement no. 1 to part 760 suffices to take the language 
outside Sec.760.2(a) of this part's prohibition on boycott-based 
agreements to refuse to do business. While the first sentence of this 
clause is consistent with the language discussed in supplement no. 1 to 
part 760, the second sentence significantly alters the effect of this 
clause. The effect is to draw the contractor into the decision-making 
process, thereby destroying the unilateral character of the selection by 
the buyer. By agreeing to submit the names of the suppliers it plans to 
use, the contractor is agreeing to give the boycotting country buyer, 
who has retained the right of final selection, the ability to reject, 
for boycott-related reasons, any supplier the contractor has already 
chosen. Because the requirement appears in the contractual provision 
dealing with the boycott, the buyer's rejection of any supplier whose 
name is given to the buyer pursuant to this provision would be presumed 
to be boycott-based. By signing the contract, and thereby agreeing to 
comply with all of its provisions, the contractor must either accept the 
buyer's rejection of any supplier, which is presumed to be boycott-based 
because of the context of this provision, or breach the contract.
    In these circumstances, the contractor's method of choosing its 
subcontractors and suppliers, in anticipation of the buyer's boycott-
based review, cannot be considered a permissible pre-award service 
because of the presumed intrusion of boycott-based criteria into the 
selection process. Thus, assuming all other jurisdictional requirements 
necessary to establish a violation of part 760 are met, the signing of 
the contract by the contractor constitutes a violation of Sec.760.2(a) 
of this part because he is agreeing to refuse to do business for boycott 
reasons.
    The apparent attempt to bring this language within the exception for 
compliance with unilateral and specific selections is ineffective. The 
language does not place the discretion to choose suppliers in the hands 
of the boycotting country buyer but divides this discretion between the 
buyer and his principal contractor. Knowing that the buyer will not 
accept a boycotted company as supplier or subcontractor, the contractor 
is asked to use his discretion in selecting a single supplier or 
subcontractor for each element of the contract. The boycotting country 
buyer exercises discretion only through accepting or rejecting the 
selected supplier or contractor as its boycott policies require. In 
these circumstances it cannot be said that the buyer is exercising right 
of unilateral and specific selection which meets the criteria of Sec.
760.3(d). For this reason, agreement to the contractual language 
discussed here would constitute an agreement to refuse to do business 
with any person rejected by the

[[Page 808]]

buyer and would violate Sec.760.2(a) of this part.

[61 FR 12862, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 34950, June 1, 2000]



           Sec. Supplement No. 14 to Part 760--Interpretation

    (a) Contractual clause concerning import, customs and boycott laws 
of a boycotting country. The following language has appeared in tender 
documents issued by a boycotting country:
    ``Supplier declares his knowledge of the fact that the import, 
Customs and boycott laws, rules and regulations of [name of boycotting 
country] apply in importing to [name of boycotting country].''
    ``Supplier declares his knowledge of the fact that under these laws, 
rules and regulations, it is prohibited to import into [name of the 
boycotting country] any products or parts thereof that originated in 
[name of boycotted country]; were manufactured, produced or imported by 
companies formed under the laws of [name of boycotted country]; or were 
manufactured, produced or imported by nationals or residents of [name of 
boycotted country].''
    Agreeing to the above contractual language is a prohibited agreement 
to refuse to do business, under Sec.760.2(a) of this part. The first 
paragraph requires broad acknowledgment of the application of the 
boycotting country's boycott laws, rules and regulations. Unless this 
language is qualified to apply only to boycott restrictions with which 
U.S. persons may comply, agreement to it is prohibited. See Sec.
760.2(a) of this part, examples (v) and (vi) under ``Agreements to 
Refuse to Do Business.''
    The second paragraph does not limit the scope of the boycott 
restrictions referenced in the first paragraph. It states that the 
boycott laws include restrictions on goods originating in the boycotted 
country; manufactured, produced or supplied by companies organized under 
the laws of the boycotted country; or manufactured, produced or supplied 
by nationals or residents of the boycotted country. Each of these 
restrictions is within the exception for compliance with the import 
requirements of the boycotting country (Sec.760.3(a) of this part). 
However, the second paragraph's list of restrictions is not exclusive. 
Since the boycott laws generally include more than what is listed and 
permissible under the antiboycott law, U.S. persons may not agree to the 
quoted clause. For example, a country's boycott laws may prohibit 
imports of goods manufactured by blacklisted firms. Except as provided 
by Sec.760.3(g) of this part, agreement to and compliance with this 
boycott restriction would be prohibited under the antiboycott law.
    The above contractual language is distinguished from the contract 
clause determined to be permissible in supplement 1, Part II, A, by its 
acknowledgment that the boycott requirements of the boycotting country 
apply. Although the first sentence of the Supplement 1 clause does not 
exclude the possible application of boycott laws, it refers only to the 
import and customs laws of the boycotting country without mentioning the 
boycott laws as well. As discussed fully in supplement no. 1 to part 
760, compliance with or agreement to the clause quoted there is, 
therefore, permissible.
    The contract clause quoted above, as well as the clause dealt with 
in supplement no. 1 to part 760, part II, A, is reportable under Sec.
760.5(a)(1) of this part.
    (b) Letter of credit terms removing blacklist certificate 
requirement if specified vessels used. The following terms frequently 
appear on letters of credit covering shipment to Iraq:
    ``Shipment to be effected by Iraqi State Enterprise for Maritime 
Transport Vessels or by United Arab Shipping Company (SAB) vessels, if 
available.''
    ``If shipment is effected by any of the above company's [sic] 
vessels, black list certificate or evidence to that effect is not 
required.''
    These terms are not reportable and compliance with them is 
permissible.
    The first sentence, a directive to use Iraqi State Enterprise for 
Maritime Transport or United Arab Shipping vessels, is neither 
reportable nor prohibited because it is not considered by the Department 
to be boycott-related. The apparent reason for the directive is Iraq's 
preference to have cargo shipped on its own vessels (or, as in the case 
of United Arab Shipping, on vessels owned by a company in part 
established and owned by the Iraqi government). Such ``cargo 
preference'' requirements, calling for the use of an importing or 
exporting country's own ships, are common throughout the world and are 
imposed for non-boycott reasons. (See Sec.760.2(a) of this part, 
example (vii) AGREEMENTS TO REFUSE TO DO BUSINESS.)
    In contrast, if the letter of credit contains a list of vessels or 
carriers that appears to constitute a boycott-related whitelist, a 
directive to select a vessel from that list would be both reportable and 
prohibited. When such a directive appears in conjunction with a term 
removing the blacklist certificate requirement if these vessels are 
used, the Department will presume that beneficiaries, banks and any 
other U.S. person receiving the letter of credit know that there is a 
boycott-related purpose for the directive.
    The second sentence of the letter of credit language quoted above 
does not, by itself, call for a blacklist certificate and is not 
therefore, reportable. If a term elsewhere on

[[Page 809]]

the letter of credit imposes a blacklist certificate requirement, then 
that other term would be reportable.
    (c) Information not related to a particular transaction in U.S. 
commerce. Under Sec.760.2 (c), (d) and (e), of this part U.S. persons 
are prohibited, with respect to their activities in U.S. commerce, from 
furnishing certain information. It is the Department's position that the 
required nexus with U.S. commerce is established when the furnishing of 
information itself occurs in U.S. commerce. Even when the furnishing of 
information is not itself in U.S. commerce, however, the necessary 
relationship to U.S. commerce will be established if the furnishing of 
information relates to particular transactions in U.S. commerce or to 
anticipated transactions in U.S. commerce. See, e.g. Sec.760.2(d), 
examples (vii), (ix) and (xii) of this part.
    The simplest situation occurs where a U.S. person located in the 
United States furnishes information to a boycotting country. The 
transfer of information from the United States to a foreign country is 
itself an activity in U.S. commerce. See Sec.760.1(d)(1)(iv) of this 
part. In some circumstances, the furnishing of information by a U.S. 
person located outside the United States may also be an activity in U.S. 
commerce. For example, the controlled foreign subsidiary of a domestic 
concern might furnish to a boycotting country information the subsidiary 
obtained from the U.S.-located parent for that purpose. The subsidiary's 
furnishing would, in these circumstances, constitute an activity in U.S. 
commerce. See Sec.760.1(d)(8) of this part.
    Where the furnishing of information is not itself in U.S. commerce, 
the U.S. commerce requirement may be satisfied by the fact that the 
furnishing is related to an activity in U.S. foreign or domestic 
commerce. For example, if a shipment of goods by a controlled-in-fact 
foreign subsidiary of a U.S. company to a boycotting country gives rise 
to an inquiry from the boycotting country concerning the subsidiary's 
relationship with another firm, the Department regards any responsive 
furnishing of information by the subsidiary as related to the shipment 
giving rise to the inquiry. If the shipment is in U.S. foreign or 
domestic commerce, as defined by the regulations, then the Department 
regards the furnishing to be related to an activity in U.S. commerce and 
subject to the antiboycott regulations, whether or not the furnishing 
itself is in U.S. commerce.
    In some circumstances, the Department may regard a furnishing of 
information as related to a broader category of present and prospective 
transactions. For example, if a controlled-in-fact foreign subsidiary of 
a U.S. company is requested to furnish information about its commercial 
dealings and it appears that failure to respond will result in its 
blacklisting, any responsive furnishing of information will be regarded 
by the Department as relating to all of the subsidiary's present and 
anticipated business activities with the inquiring boycotting country. 
Accordingly, if any of these present or anticipated business activities 
are in U.S. commerce, the Department will regard the furnishing as 
related to an activity in U.S. commerce and subject to the antiboycott 
regulations.
    In deciding whether anticipated business activities will be in U.S. 
commerce, the Department will consider all of the surrounding 
circumstances. Particular attention will be given to the history of the 
U.S. person's business activities with the boycotting country and 
others, the nature of any activities occurring after a furnishing of 
information occurs and any relevant economic or commercial factors which 
may affect these activities.
    For example, if a U.S. person has no activities with the boycotting 
country at present but all of its other international activities are in 
U.S. commerce, as defined by the Regulations, then the Department is 
likely to regard any furnishing of information by that person for the 
purpose of securing entry into the boycotting country's market as 
relating to anticipated activities in U.S. commerce and subject to the 
antiboycott regulations. Similarly, if subsequent to the furnishing of 
information to the boycotting country for the purpose of securing entry 
into its markets, the U.S. person engages in transactions with that 
country which are in U.S. commerce, the Department is likely to regard 
the furnishing as related to an activity in U.S. commerce and subject to 
the antiboycott regulations.

[61 FR 12862, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 34950, June 1, 2000]



           Sec. Supplement No. 15 to Part 760--Interpretation

    Section 760.2 (c), (d), and (e) of this part prohibits United States 
persons from furnishing certain types of information with intent to 
comply with, further, or support an unsanctioned foreign boycott against 
a country friendly to the United States. The Department has been asked 
whether prohibited information may be transmitted--that is, passed to 
others by a United States person who has not directly or indirectly 
authored the information--without such transmission constituting a 
furnishing of information in violation of Sec.760.2 (c), (d), and (e) 
of this part. Throughout this interpretation, ``transmission'' is 
defined as the passing on by one person of information initially 
authored by another. The Department believes that there is no 
distinction in the EAR between transmitting (as defined above) and 
furnishing prohibited information under the

[[Page 810]]

EAR and that the transmission of prohibited information with the 
requisite boycott intent is a furnishing of information violative of the 
EAR. At the same time, however, the circumstances relating to the 
transmitting party's involvement will be carefully considered in 
determining whether that party intended to comply with, further, or 
support an unsanctioned foreign boycott.
    The EAR does not deal specifically with the relationship between 
transmitting and furnishing. However, the restrictions in the EAR on 
responses to boycott-related conditions, both by direct and indirect 
actions and whether by primary parties or intermediaries, indicate that 
U.S. persons who simply transmit prohibited information are to be 
treated the same under the EAR as those who both author and furnish 
prohibited information. This has been the Department's position in 
enforcement actions it has brought.
    The few references in the EAR to the transmission of information by 
third parties are consistent with this position. Two examples, both 
relating to the prohibition against the furnishing of information about 
U.S. persons' race, religion, sex, or national origin (Sec.760.2(c) of 
this part), deal explicitly with transmitting information. These 
examples (Sec.760.2(c) of this part, example (v), and Sec.760.3(f) 
of this part, example (vi)) show that, in certain cases, when furnishing 
certain information is permissible, either because it is not within a 
prohibition or is excepted from a prohibition, transmitting it is also 
permissible. These examples concern information that may be furnished by 
individuals about themselves or their families. The examples show that 
employers may transmit to a boycotting country visa applications or 
forms containing information about an employee's race, religion, sex, or 
national origin if that employee is the source of the information and 
authorizes its transmission. In other words, within the limits of 
ministerial action set forth in these examples, employees' actions in 
transmitting information are protected by the exception available to the 
employee. The distinction between permissible and prohibited behavior 
rests not on the definitional distinction between furnishing and 
transmitting, but on the excepted nature of the information furnished by 
the employee. The information originating from the employee does not 
lose its excepted character because it is transmitted by the employer.
    The Department's position regarding the furnishing and transmission 
of certificates of one's own blacklist status rests on a similar basis 
and does not support the contention that third parties may transmit 
prohibited information authored by another. Such self-certifications do 
not violate any prohibitions in the EAR (see Supplement Nos. 1(I)(B), 2, 
and 5(A)(2); Sec.760.2(f), example (xiv)). It is the Department's 
position that it is not prohibited for U.S. persons to transmit such 
self-certifications completed by others. Once again, because furnishing 
the self-certification is not prohibited, third parties who transmit the 
self-certifications offend no prohibition. On the other hand, if a third 
party authored information about another's blacklist status, the act of 
transmitting that information would be prohibited.
    A third example in the EAR (Sec.760.5, example (xiv) of this 
part), which also concerns a permissible transmission of boycott-related 
information, does not support the theory that one may transmit 
prohibited information authored by another. This example deals with the 
reporting requirements in Sec.760.5 of this part--not the 
prohibitions--and merely illustrates that a person who receives and 
transmits a self-certification has not received a reportable request.
    It is also the Department's position that a U.S. person violates the 
prohibitions against furnishing information by transmitting prohibited 
information even if that person has received no reportable request in 
the transaction. For example, where documents accompanying a letter of 
credit contain prohibited information, a negotiating bank that transmits 
the documents, with the requisite boycott intent, to an issuing bank has 
not received a reportable request, but has furnished prohibited 
information.
    While the Department does not regard the suggested distinction 
between transmitting and furnishing information as meaningful, the facts 
relating to the third party's involvement may be important in 
determining whether that party furnished information with the required 
intent to comply with, further, or support an unsanctioned foreign 
boycott. For example, if it is a standard business practice for one 
participant in a transaction to obtain and pass on, without examination, 
documents prepared by another party, it might be difficult to maintain 
that the first participant intended to comply with a boycott by passing 
on information contained in the unexamined documents. Resolution of such 
intent questions, however, depends upon an analysis of the individual 
facts and circumstances of the transaction and the Department will 
continue to engage in such analysis on a case-by-case basis.
    This interpretation, like all others issued by the Department 
discussing applications of the antiboycott provisions of the EAR, should 
be read narrowly. Circumstances that differ in any material way from 
those discussed in this interpretation will be considered under the 
applicable provisions of the Regulations.



           Sec. Supplement No. 16 to Part 760--Interpretation

    Pursuant to Articles 5, 7, and 26 of the Treaty of Peace between the 
State of Israel

[[Page 811]]

and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and implementing legislation enacted 
by Jordan, Jordan's participation in the Arab economic boycott of Israel 
was formally terminated on August 16, 1995.
    On the basis of this action, it is the Department's position that 
certain requests for information, action or agreement from Jordan which 
were considered boycott-related by implication now cannot be presumed 
boycott-related and thus would not be prohibited or reportable under the 
regulations. For example, a request that an exporter certify that the 
vessel on which it is shipping its goods is eligible to enter Hashemite 
Kingdom of Jordan ports has been considered a boycott-related request 
that the exporter could not comply with because Jordan has had a boycott 
in force against Israel. Such a request from Jordan after August 16, 
1995 would not be presumed boycott-related because the underlying 
boycott requirement/basis for the certification has been eliminated. 
Similarly, a U.S. company would not be prohibited from complying with a 
request received from Jordanian government officials to furnish the 
place of birth of employees the company is seeking to take to Jordan 
because there is no underlying boycott law or policy that would give 
rise to a presumption that the request was boycott-related.
    U.S. persons are reminded that requests that are on their face 
boycott-related or that are for action obviously in furtherance or 
support of an unsanctioned foreign boycott are subject to the 
regulations, irrespective of the country of origin. For example, 
requests containing references to ``blacklisted companies'', ``Israel 
boycott list'', ``non-Israeli goods'' or other phrases or words 
indicating boycott purpose would be subject to the appropriate 
provisions of the Department's antiboycott regulations.

Sec.762.1  Scope.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C.
    (a) Transactions subject to this part. The recordkeeping provisions 
of this part apply to the following transactions:
    (1) Transactions involving restrictive trade practices or boycotts 
described in part 760 of the EAR;
    (2) Exports of commodities, software, or technology from the United 
States and any known reexports, transshipment, or diversions of items 
exported from the United States;
    (3) Exports to Canada, if, at any stage in the transaction, it

Canada has an interest therein, or that the item involved is to be 
reexported, transshipped, or diverted from Canada to another foreign 
country; or
    (4) Any other transactions subject to the EAR, including, but not

to all negotiations connected with those transactions, except that for 
export control matters a mere preliminary inquiry or offer to do 
business and negative response thereto shall not constitute 
negotiations, unless the inquiry or offer to do business proposes a 
transaction that a reasonably prudent exporter would believe likely to 
lead to a violation of the EAA, the EAR or any order, license or 
authorization issued thereunder.
    (b) Persons subject to this part. Any person subject to the 
jurisdiction of the United States who, as principal or agent (including 
a forwarding agent), participates in any transaction described in 
paragraph (a) of this section, and any person in the United States or

Sec.762.4  Original records required.

    The regulated person must maintain the original records in the form 
in which that person receives or creates them unless that person meets 
all of the conditions of Sec.762.5 of this part relating to 
reproduction of records. If the original record does not meet the 
standards of legibility and readability described in Sec.762.5 of this 
part and the regulated person intends to rely on that record to meet the 
recordkeeping requirements of the EAR, that person must retain the 
original record. With respect to documents that BIS issues to a party in 
SNAP-R, either an electronically stored copy in a format that makes the 
document readable with software possessed by that party or a paper print 
out of the complete document is deemed to be an original record for 
purposes of this section.

[61 FR 12900, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 75 FR 17055, Apr. 5, 2010]



Sec.762.5  Reproduction of original records.

    (a) The regulated person may maintain reproductions instead of the 
original records provided all of the requirements of paragraph (b) of 
this section are met.
    (b) In order to maintain the records required by Sec.762.2 of this 
part, the regulated persons defined in Sec.762.1 of this part may use 
any photographic, photostatic, miniature photographic, micrographic, 
automated archival storage, or other process that completely, 
accurately, legibly and durably reproduces the original records (whether 
on paper, microfilm, or through electronic digital storage techniques). 
The process must meet all of the following requirements, which are 
applicable to all systems:
    (1) The system must be capable of reproducing all records on paper.
    (2) The system must record and be able to reproduce all marks, 
information, and other characteristics of the original record, including 
both obverse and reverse sides of paper documents in legible form.
    (3) When displayed on a viewer, monitor, or reproduced on paper, the 
records must exhibit a high degree of legibility and readability. (For 
purposes of this section, legible and legibility mean the quality of a 
letter or numeral that enable the observer to identify it positively and 
quickly to the exclusion of all other letters or numerals. Readable and 
readability mean the quality of a group of letters or numerals being 
recognized as complete words or numbers.)
    (4) The system must preserve the initial image (including both 
obverse and reverse sides of paper documents) and record all changes, 
who made them and when they were made. This information must be stored 
in such a manner that none of it may be altered once it is initially 
recorded.
    (5) The regulated person must establish written procedures to 
identify the individuals who are responsible for the operation, use and 
maintenance of the system.
    (6) The regulated person must establish written procedures for 
inspection and quality assurance of records in the system and document 
the implementation of those procedures.
    (7) The system must be complete and contain all records required to 
be kept by this part or the regulated person must provide a method for 
correlating, identifying and locating records relating to the same 
transaction(s) that are kept in other record keeping systems.
    (8) The regulated person must keep a record of where, when, by whom, 
and on what equipment the records and other information were entered 
into the system.

[[Page 815]]

    (9) Upon request by the Office of Export Enforcement, the Office of 
Antiboycott Compliance, or any other agency of competent jurisdiction, 
the regulated person must furnish, at the examination site, the records, 
the equipment and, if necessary, knowledgeable personnel for locating, 
reading, and reproducing any record in the system.
    (c) Requirements applicable to systems based on the storage of 
digital images. For systems based on the storage of digital images, the 
system must provide accessibility to any digital image in the system. 
With respect to records of transactions, including those involving 
restrictive trade practices or boycott requirements or requests. The 
system must be able to locate and reproduce all records relating to a 
particular transaction based on any one of the following criteria:
    (1) The name(s) of the parties to the transaction;
    (2) Any country(ies) connected with the transaction; or
    (3) A document reference number that was on any original document.
    (d) Requirements applicable to a system based on photographic 
processes. For systems based on photographic, photostatic, or miniature 
photographic processes, the regulated person must maintain a detailed 
index of all records in the system that is arranged in such a manner as 
to allow immediate location of any particular record in the system.



Sec.762.6  Period of retention.

    (a) Five year retention period. All records required to be kept by 
the EAR must be retained for five years from the latest of the following 
times:
    (1) The export from the United States of the item involved in the 
transaction to which the records pertain or the provision of financing, 
transporting or other service for or on behalf of end-users of 
proliferation concern as described in Sec. Sec.736.2(b)(7) and 744.6 
of the EAR;
    (2) Any known reexport, transshipment, or diversion of such item;
    (3) Any other termination of the transaction, whether formally in 
writing or by any other means; or
    (4) In the case of records of pertaining to transactions involving 
restrictive trade practices or boycotts described in part 760 of the 
EAR, the date the regulated person receives the boycott-related request 
or requirement.
    (b) Destruction or disposal of records. If the Bureau of Industry 
and Security or any other government agency makes a formal or informal 
request for a certain record or records, such record or records may not 
be destroyed or disposed of without the written authorization of the 
agency concerned. This prohibition applies to records pertaining to 
voluntary disclosures made to BIS in accordance with Sec.
764.5(c)(4)(ii) and other records even if such records have been 
retained for a period of time exceeding that required by paragraph (a) 
of this section.

[61 FR 12900, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 72 FR 3946, Jan. 29, 2007]



Sec.762.7  Producing and inspecting records.

    (a) Persons located in the United States. Persons located in the 
United States may be asked to produce books, records, and other 
information that are required to be kept by any provision of the EAR, or 
any license, order, or authorization issued thereunder and to make them 
available for inspection and copying by any authorized official of the 
BIS, or any other official of the United States designated by BIS, 
without any charge or expense to such official. OEE and the Office of 
Antiboycott Compliance encourage voluntary cooperation with such 
requests. When voluntary cooperation is not forthcoming, OEE and the 
Office of Antiboycott Compliance are authorized to issue subpoenas 
requiring persons to appear and testify, or to produce books, records, 
and other writings. In instances where a person does not comply with a 
subpoena, the Department of Commerce may petition a district court to 
have the subpoena enforced.
    (b) Persons located outside of the United States. Persons located 
outside of the United States that are required to keep books, records, 
and other information by any provision of the EAR or by any license, 
order, or authorization issued thereunder shall produce all books, 
records, and other information required to be kept, or reproductions

[[Page 816]]

thereof, and make them available for inspection and copying upon request 
by an authorized official of BIS without any charge or expense to such 
official. BIS may designate any other official of the United States to 
exercise the authority of BIS under this subsection.

Sec.764.1  Introduction.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C. This part specifies conduct that constitutes a 
violation of the ECRA and/or the EAR and the sanctions that may be 
imposed for such violations. Antiboycott violations are described in 
part 760 of the EAR, and the violations and sanctions specified in part 
764 also apply to conduct relating to part 760, unless otherwise stated. 
This part describes administrative sanctions that may be imposed by BIS. 
This part also describes criminal sanctions that may be imposed by a 
United States court and other sanctions that are neither administrative 
nor criminal pursuant to sections 11A, B, and C of the Export 
Administration Act EAA and other statutes. Information is provided on 
how to report and disclose violations. Finally, this part identifies 
protective administrative measures that BIS may take in the exercise of 
its regulatory authority.

[85 FR 73416, Nov. 18, 2020]



Sec.764.3  Sanctions.

    (a) Administrative. Violations of ECRA, the EAR, or any order, 
license or authorization issued thereunder are subject to the 
administrative sanctions described in this section and to any other 
liability, sanction, or penalty available under law. The protective 
administrative measures that are described in Sec.764.6 of this part 
are distinct from administrative sanctions.
    (1) Civil monetary penalty. (i) A civil monetary penalty not to 
exceed the amount set forth in ECRA may be imposed for each violation, 
and in the event that any provision of the EAR is continued or revised 
by IEEPA or any other authority, the maximum monetary civil penalty for 
each violation shall be that provided by such other authority.
    (ii) The payment of any civil penalty may be made a condition, for a 
period not exceeding two years after the imposition of such penalty, to 
the granting, restoration, or continuing validity of any export license, 
license exception, permission, or privilege granted or to be granted to 
the person upon whom such penalty is imposed.
    (iii) The payment of any civil penalty may be deferred or suspended 
in whole or in part during any probation period that may be imposed. 
Such deferral or suspension shall not bar the collection of the penalty 
if the conditions of the deferral, suspension, or probation are not 
fulfilled.
    (2) Denial of export privileges. An order may be issued that 
restricts the ability of the named persons to engage in exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) involving items subject to the 
EAR, or that restricts access by named persons to items subject to the 
EAR. An order denying export privileges may be imposed either as a 
sanction for a violation of ECRA, the EAR, or any other statute set 
forth at 50 U.S.C. 4819(e)(1)(B); or as a protective administrative 
measure described in Sec.764.6(c) or (d) of this part. An order 
denying export privileges may suspend or revoke any or all outstanding 
licenses issued under the EAR to a person named in the denial order or 
in which such person has an interest; may deny or restrict exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) by or to such person of any item 
subject to the EAR; and may restrict dealings in which that person may 
benefit from any export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of such 
items. The standard terms of a denial order

[[Page 818]]

are set forth in supplement no. 1 to this part. A non-standard denial 
order, narrower in scope, may be issued. Authorization to engage in 
actions otherwise prohibited by a denial order may be given by the 
Office of Exporter Services, in consultation with the Office of Export 
Enforcement, upon a written request by a person named in the denial 
order or by a person seeking permission to deal with a named person. 
Submit such requests to: Bureau of Industry and Security, Office of 
Exporter Services, Room 2099b, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street 
and Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20230.
    (3) Exclusion from practice. Any person acting as an attorney, 
accountant, consultant, freight forwarder, or in any other 
representative capacity for any license application or other matter 
before BIS may be excluded by order from any or all such activities 
before BIS.
    (b) Criminal. Whoever willfully commits, willfully attempts to 
commit, or willfully conspires to commit, or aids and abets in the 
commission of, an unlawful act described in 50 U.S.C. 4819(a) shall be 
fined not more than $1,000,000; and in the case of the individual, shall 
be imprisoned for not more than 20 years, or both.
    (c) Other sanctions. Conduct that violates ECRA, the EAR, or any 
order, license, or authorization issued thereunder, and other conduct 
specified in sections 11A, B, and C of the EAA may be subject to 
sanctions or other measures in addition to criminal and administrative 
sanctions under ECRA or the EAR. These include, but are not limited to, 
the following:
    (1) Statutory sanctions. Statutorily-mandated sanctions may be 
imposed on account of specified conduct related to weapons 
proliferation. Such statutory sanctions are not civil or criminal 
penalties, but restrict imports and procurement (See section 11A of the 
EAA, Multilateral Export Control Violations, and section 11C of the EAA, 
Chemical and Biological Weapons Proliferation), or restrict export 
licenses (See section 11B of the EAA, Missile Proliferation Violations, 
and the Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act of 1992).
    (2) Other sanctions and measures--(i) Seizure and forfeiture. Any 
property seized pursuant to export laws and regulations administered or 
enforced by the Secretary is subject to forfeiture. (50 U.S.C. 4819(d) 
and 4820(j); 22 U.S.C. 401; and 13 U.S.C. 305).
    (ii) Actions by other agencies. (A) The Department of State may not 
issue licenses or approvals for the export or reexport of defense 
articles and defense services controlled under the Arms Export Control 
Act to persons convicted of criminal offenses specified at 22 U.S.C. 
2778(g)(1)(A), or to persons denied export privileges by BIS or another 
agency; and may deny such licenses or approvals where the applicant is 
indicted for, or any party to the export is convicted of, those 
specified criminal offenses. (22 CFR 126.7(a) and 127.11(a)).
    (B) The Department of Defense, among other agencies, may suspend the 
right of any person to contract with the United States Government based 
on export control violations. (Federal Acquisition Regulations at 48 CFR 
9.407-2).

[85 FR 73417, Nov. 18, 2020]



Sec.764.4  Reporting of violations.

    (a) Where to report. If a person learns that an export control 
violation of the EAR has occurred or may occur, that person may notify:

Office of Export Enforcement, Bureau of Industry and Security,U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room 
H-4520, Washington, D.C. 20230, Tel: (202) 482-1208, Facsimile: (202) 
482-0964


or, for violations of part 760 of the EAR:

Office of Antiboycott Compliance, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room 
H-6099C, Washington, D.C. 20230, Tel: (202) 482-2381, Facsimile: (202) 
482-0913.

    (b) Failure to report violations. Failure to report potential 
violations may result in the unwarranted issuance of licenses or exports 
without the required licenses to the detriment of the interests of the 
United States.
    (c) Reporting requirement distinguished. The reporting provisions in 
paragraph (a) of this section are not ``reporting

[[Page 819]]

requirements'' within the meaning of Sec.764.2(i) of this part.
    (d) Formerly embargoed destinations. Reporting requirements for 
activities within the scope of Sec.764.2(e) that involve items subject 
to the EAR which may have been illegally exported or reexported to Libya 
prior to the lifting of the comprehensive embargo on Libya are found in 
Sec.764.7 of the EAR.

[61 FR 12902, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 70 FR 14391, Mar. 22, 2005]



Sec.764.5  Voluntary self-disclosure.

    (a) General policy. BIS strongly encourages disclosure to OEE if you 
believe that you may have violated the EAR, or any order, license or 
authorization issued thereunder. Voluntary self-disclosure is a 
mitigating factor in determining what administrative sanctions, if any, 
will be sought by OEE.
    (b) Limitations. (1) The provisions of this section do not apply to 
disclosures of violations relating to part 760 of the EAR.
    (2) The provisions of this section apply only when information is 
provided to OEE for its review in determining whether to take 
administrative action under part 766 of the EAR for violations of the 
export control provisions of the EAR.
    (3) The provisions of this section apply only when information is 
received by OEE for review prior to the time that OEE, or any other 
agency of the United States Government, has learned the same or 
substantially similar information from another source and has commenced 
an investigation or inquiry in connection with that information.
    (4) While voluntary self-disclosure is a mitigating factor in 
determining what administrative sanctions, if any, will be sought by 
OEE, it is a factor that is considered together with all other factors 
in a case. The weight given to voluntary self-disclosure is solely 
within the discretion of OEE, and the mitigating effect of voluntary 
self-disclosure may be outweighed by aggravating factors. Voluntary 
self-disclosure does not prevent transactions from being referred to the 
Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. In such a case, OEE 
would notify the Department of Justice of the voluntary self-disclosure, 
but the consideration of that factor is within the discretion of the 
Department of Justice.
    (5) A firm will not be deemed to have made a disclosure under this 
section unless the individual making the disclosure did so with the full 
knowledge and authorization of the firm's senior management.
    (6) The provisions of this section do not, nor should they be relied 
on to, create, confer, or grant any rights, benefits, privileges, or 
protection enforceable at law or in equity by any person, business, or 
entity in any civil, criminal, administrative, or other matter.
    (c) Information to be provided--(1) General. Any person wanting to 
disclose information that constitutes a voluntary self-disclosure 
should, in the manner outlined below, initially notify OEE as soon as 
possible after violations are discovered, and then conduct a thorough 
review of all export-related transactions where violations are 
suspected.
    (2) Initial notification--(i) Manner and content of initial 
notification. The initial notification should be in writing and be sent 
to the address in paragraph (c)(7) of this section. The notification 
should include the name of the person making the disclosure and a brief 
description of the suspected violations, and should designate a contact 
person regarding the initial notification and provide that contact 
person's current business street address, email address, and telephone 
number. The notification should describe the general nature and extent 
of the violations. OEE recognizes that there may be situations where it 
will not be practical to make an initial notification in writing. For 
example, written notification may not be practical if a shipment leaves 
the United States without the required license, yet there is still an 
opportunity to prevent acquisition of the items by unauthorized persons. 
In such situations, OEE should be contacted promptly at the office 
listed in paragraph (c)(7) of this section.
    (ii) Initial notification date. For purposes of calculating when a 
complete narrative account must be submitted under paragraph (c)(2)(iii) 
of this section, the initial notification date is the date the 
notification is received by OEE. OEE will notify the disclosing

[[Page 820]]

party in writing of the date that it receives the initial notification. 
At OEE's discretion, such writing from OEE may be on paper, or in an 
email message or facsimile transmission from OEE, or by any other method 
for the transmission of written communications. Where it is not 
practical to make an initial notification in writing, the person making 
the notification should confirm the oral notification in writing as soon 
as possible.
    (iii) Timely completion of narrative accounts. The narrative account 
required by paragraph (c)(3) of this section must be received by OEE 
within 180 days of the initial notification date for purposes of 
paragraph (b)(3) of this section, absent an extension from the Director 
of OEE. If the person making the initial notification subsequently 
completes and submits to OEE the narrative account required by paragraph 
(c)(3) of this section such that OEE receives it within 180 days of the 
initial notification date, or within the additional time, if any, 
granted by the Director of OEE pursuant to paragraph (c)(2)(iv) of this 
section, the disclosure, including violations disclosed in the narrative 
account that were not expressly mentioned in the initial notification, 
will be deemed to have been made on the initial notification date for 
purposes of paragraph (b)(3) of this section if the initial notification 
was made in compliance with paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section. 
Failure to meet the deadline (either the initial 180-day deadline or an 
extended deadline granted by the Director of OEE) would not be an 
additional violation of the EAR, but such failure may reduce or 
eliminate the mitigating impact of the voluntary disclosure under 
supplement no. 1 to this part. For purposes of determining whether the 
deadline has been met under this paragraph, a complete narrative account 
must contain all of the pertinent information called for in paragraphs 
(c)(3), (c)(4), and (c)(5) of this section, and the voluntary self-
disclosure must otherwise meet the requirements of this section.
    (iv) Deadline extensions. The Director of OEE may extend the 180-day 
deadline upon a determination in his or her discretion that U.S. 
Government interests would be served by an extension or that the person 
making the initial notification has shown that more than 180 days is 
reasonably needed to complete the narrative account.
    (A) Conditions for extension. The Director of OEE in his or her 
discretion may place conditions on the approval of an extension. For 
example, the Director of OEE may require that the disclosing person 
agree to toll the statute of limitations with respect to violations 
disclosed in the initial notification or discovered during the review 
for or preparation of the narrative account, and/or require the 
disclosing person to undertake specified interim remedial compliance 
measures.
    (B) Contents of Request. (1) In most instances 180 days should be 
adequate to complete the narrative account. Requests to extend the 180-
day deadline set forth in paragraph (c)(2)(iii) of this section will be 
determined by the Director of OEE pursuant to his or her authority under 
this paragraph (c)(2)(iv) based upon his consideration and evaluation of 
U.S. Government interests and the facts and circumstances surrounding 
the request and any related investigations. Such requests should show 
specifically that the person making the request:
    (i) Began its review promptly after discovery of the violations;
    (ii) Has been conducting its review and preparation of the narrative 
account as expeditiously as can be expected, consistent with the need 
for completeness and accuracy;
    (iii) Reasonably needs the requested extension despite having begun 
its review promptly after discovery of the violations and having 
conducted its review and preparation of the narrative account as 
expeditiously as can be expected consistent with the need for 
completeness and accuracy; and
    (iv) Has considered whether interim compliance or other corrective 
measures may be needed and has undertaken such measures as appropriate 
to prevent recurring or additional violations.
    (2) Such requests also should set out a proposed timeline for 
completion and submission of the narrative account that is reasonable 
under the applicable facts and circumstances, and should

[[Page 821]]

also designate a contact person regarding the request and provide that 
contact person's current business street address, email address, and 
telephone number. Requests may also include additional information that 
the person making the request reasonably believes is pertinent to the 
request under the applicable facts and circumstances.
    (C) Timing of requests. Requests for an extension should be made 
before the 180-day deadline and as soon as possible once a disclosing 
person determines that it will be unable to meet the deadline or the 
extended deadline where an extension previously has been granted, and 
possesses the information needed to prepare an extension request in 
accordance with paragraph (c)(2)(iv)(B) of this section. Requests for 
extension that are not received before the deadline for completing the 
narrative account has passed will not be considered. Parties who request 
an extension shortly before the deadline incur the risk that the 
Director of OEE will be unable to consider the request, determine 
whether or not to grant the extension, and communicate his or her 
decision before the deadline, and that any subsequently submitted 
narrative account will be considered untimely under paragraph 
(c)(2)(iii) of this section.
    (3) Narrative account. After the initial notification, a thorough 
review should be conducted of all export-related transactions where 
possible violations are suspected. OEE recommends that the review cover 
a period of five years prior to the date of the initial notification. If 
your review goes back less than five years, you risk failing to discover 
violations that may later become the subject of an investigation. Any 
violations not voluntarily disclosed do not receive consideration under 
this section. However, the failure to make such disclosures will not be 
treated as a separate violation unless some other section of the EAR or 
other provision of law requires disclosure. Upon completion of the 
review, OEE should be furnished with a narrative account that 
sufficiently describes the suspected violations so that their nature and 
gravity can be assessed. The narrative account should also describe the 
nature of the review conducted and measures that may have been taken to 
minimize the likelihood that violations will occur in the future. The 
narrative account should include:
    (i) The kind of violation involved, for example, a shipment without 
the required license or dealing with a party denied export privileges;
    (ii) An explanation of when and how the violations occurred;
    (iii) The complete identities and addresses of all individuals and 
organizations, whether foreign or domestic, involved in the activities 
giving rise to the violations;
    (iv) License numbers;
    (v) The description, quantity, value in U.S. dollars and ECCN or 
other classification of the items involved; and
    (vi) A description of any mitigating circumstances.
    (4) Supporting documentation. (i) The narrative account should be 
accompanied by copies of documents that explain and support it, 
including:
    (A) Licensing documents such as licenses, license applications, 
import certificates and end-user statements;
    (B) Shipping documents such as Shipper's Export Declarations, air 
waybills and bills of lading; and
    (C) Other documents such as letters, facsimiles, telexes and other 
evidence of written or oral communications, internal memoranda, purchase 
orders, invoices, letters of credit and brochures.
    (ii) Any relevant documents not attached to the narrative account 
must be retained by the person making the disclosure until OEE requests 
them, or until a final decision on the disclosed information has been 
made. After a final decision, the documents should be maintained in 
accordance with the recordkeeping rules in part 762 of the EAR.
    (5) Certification. A certification must be submitted stating that 
all of the representations made in connection with the voluntary self-
disclosure are true and correct to the best of that person's knowledge 
and belief. Certifications made by a corporation or other organization 
should be signed by an official of the corporation or other organization 
with the authority to do so. Section 764.2(g) of this part, relating to

[[Page 822]]

false or misleading representations, applies in connection with the 
disclosure of information under this section.
    (6) Oral presentations. OEE believes that oral presentations are 
generally not necessary to augment the written narrative account and 
supporting documentation. If the person making the disclosure believes 
otherwise, a request for a meeting should be included with the 
disclosure.
    (7) Where to make voluntary self-disclosures. The information 
constituting a voluntary self-disclosure or any other correspondence 
pertaining to a voluntary self-disclosure may be submitted to: Director, 
Office of Export Enforcement, 1401 Constitution Ave., Room H4514, 
Washington, DC 20230, Tel: (202) 482-5036, Facsimile: (202) 482-5889.
    (d) Action by the Office of Export Enforcement. After OEE has been 
provided with the required narrative and supporting documentation, it 
will acknowledge the disclosure by letter, provide the person making the 
disclosure with a point of contact, and take whatever additional action, 
including further investigation, it deems appropriate. As quickly as the 
facts and circumstances of a given case permit, OEE may take any of the 
following actions:
    (1) Inform the person making the disclosure that, based on the facts 
disclosed, it plans to take no action;
    (2) Issue a warning letter;
    (3) Issue a proposed charging letter pursuant to Sec.766.18 of the 
EAR and attempt to settle the matter;
    (4) Issue a charging letter pursuant to Sec.766.3 of the EAR if a 
settlement is not reached; and/or
    (5) Refer the matter to the Department of Justice for criminal 
prosecution.
    (e) Criteria. Supplement no. 1 to part 766 describes how BIS 
typically exercises its discretion regarding whether to pursue an 
administrative enforcement case under part 766 and what administrative 
sanctions to seek in settling such a case.
    (f) Treatment of unlawfully exported items after voluntary self-
disclosure. (1) Any person taking certain actions with knowledge that a 
violation of the EAA or the EAR has occurred has violated Sec.764.2(e) 
of this part. Any person who has made a voluntary self-disclosure knows 
that a violation may have occurred. Therefore, at the time that a 
voluntary self-disclosure is made, the person making the disclosure may 
request permission from BIS to engage in the activities described in 
Sec.764.2(e) of this part that would otherwise be prohibited. If the 
request is granted by the Office of Exporter Services in consultation 
with OEE, future activities with respect to those items that would 
otherwise violate Sec.764.2(e) of this part will not constitute 
violations. However, even if permission is granted, the person making 
the voluntary self-disclosure is not absolved from liability for any 
violations disclosed nor relieved of the obligation to obtain any 
required reexport authorizations.
    (2) A license to reexport items that are the subject of a voluntary 
self-disclosure, and that have been exported contrary to the provisions 
of the EAA or the EAR, may be requested from BIS in accordance with the 
provisions of part 748 of the EAR. If the applicant for reexport 
authorization knows that the items are the subject of a voluntary self-
disclosure, the request should state that a voluntary self-disclosure 
was made in connection with the export of the commodities for which 
reexport authorization is sought.

Sec.764.6  Protective administrative measures.

    (a) License Exception limitation. As provided in Sec.740.2(b) of 
the EAR, all License Exceptions are subject to revision, suspension, or 
revocation.
    (b) Revocation or suspension of licenses. As provided in Sec.750.8 
of the EAR, all licenses are subject to revision, suspension, or 
revocation.
    (c) Temporary denial orders. BIS may, in accordance with Sec.
766.24 of the EAR, issue an order temporarily denying export privileges 
when such an order is necessary in the public interest to prevent the 
occurrence of an imminent violation.
    (d) Denial based on criminal conviction. BIS may, in accordance with 
Sec.766.25 of the EAR, issue an order denying the

[[Page 823]]

export privileges of any person who has been convicted of an offense 
specified in Sec.11(h) of the EAA.



Sec.764.7  Activities involving items that may have been illegally exported or reexported to Libya.

    (a) Introduction. As set forth in Sec.764.2(e) of this part, and 
restated in General Prohibition Ten at Sec.736.2(b)(10) of the EAR, no 
person (including a non-U.S. Third Party) may order, buy, remove, 
conceal, store, use, sell, loan, dispose of, transfer, finance, forward, 
or otherwise service, in whole or in part, any item subject to the EAR 
with knowledge that a violation has occurred, or will occur, in 
connection with the item. This section addresses the application of 
Sec.764.2(e) of this part to activities involving items subject to the 
EAR that may have been illegally exported or reexported to Libya before 
the comprehensive embargo on Libya ended (April 29, 2004) (``installed 
base'' items).
    (b) Libya--(1) Activities involving installed base items in Libya 
for which no license is required. Subject to the reporting requirement 
set forth in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section, activities within the 
scope of Sec.764.2(e) of this part involving installed base items 
described in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section that are located in 
Libya and that were exported or reexported before April 29, 2004 do not 
require a license from BIS.
    (i) Scope. An installed base item is within the scope of paragraph 
(b)(1) of this section if:
    (A) It is not on the Commerce Control List in supplement no. 1 to 
part 774 of the EAR;
    (B) It is on the Commerce Control List, but is authorized for export 
or reexport pursuant to a License Exception to Libya; or
    (C) It is on the Commerce Control List and controlled only for AT 
reasons or for NS and AT reasons only, and is not listed on the 
Wassenaar Arrangement's Sensitive List (Annex 1) or Very Sensitive List 
(Annex 2) posted on the Wassenaar Arrangement's Web site 
(www.wassenaar.org) at the Control Lists web page.

    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(1)(i): An item being exported or reexported 
to Libya may require a license based on the classification of the item 
to be exported or reexported regardless of whether the item will be used 
in connection with an installed base item. See paragraph (b)(4) of this 
section.
    Note 2 to paragraph (b)(1)(i): Not all items listed on the Wassenaar 
Arrangement's Annex 1, Sensitive List, and Annex 2, Very Sensitive List, 
fall under the export licensing jurisdiction of the Department of 
Commerce. Please refer to the Commerce Control List for additional 
jurisdictional information related to those items. Also, if you do not 
have access to the internet to review the Wassenaar Arrangement's 
Sensitive List and Very Sensitive List, please contact the Office of 
Exporter Services, Division of Exporter Counseling for assistance at 
telephone number (202) 482-4811.

    (ii) Reporting requirement. Any person engaging in activity 
described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section must submit to BIS's 
Office of Export Enforcement (OEE) a report including all known material 
facts with respect to how the installed base item arrived in Libya. The 
report must be submitted to OEE at the address identified in Sec.
764.4(a) of the EAR within ninety (90) days of the first activity 
relating to the installed base item in Libya. A report may address more 
than one activity and/or more than one installed base item. An 
additional report must be submitted if any new material information 
regarding the export or reexport to Libya of the installed base item is 
discovered.
    (2) Licensing procedure for activities involving installed base 
items in Libya--(i) License requirement. Any person seeking to undertake 
activities within the scope of Sec.764.2(e) of the EAR with respect to 
any installed base item located in Libya and not described in paragraph 
(b)(1)(i) of this section must obtain a license from BIS prior to 
engaging in any such activities. License applications should be 
submitted in accordance with Sec. Sec.748.1, 748.4 and 748.6 of the 
EAR, and should fully describe the relevant activity within the scope of 
Sec.764.2(e) of this part which is the basis of the application. 
License applications should include all known material facts as to how 
the installed base item originally was exported or reexported to Libya. 
This section also applies if you know that an item to be exported or 
reexported to a third party will be

[[Page 824]]

used on an installed base item not described in paragraph (b)(1)(i) of 
this section.
    (ii) Licensing policy. BIS will review license applications 
submitted pursuant to paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section on a case-by-
case basis. Favorable consideration will be given for those applications 
related to civil end-uses in Libya. Applications related to military, 
police, intelligence, or other sensitive end-uses in Libya will be 
subject to a general policy of denial.
    (3) Exclusion. The provisions of this section are not applicable to 
any activities within the scope of Sec.764.2(e) of the EAR undertaken 
with respect to an installed base item in Libya by a person who was 
party to the original illegal export or reexport of the related 
installed base item to Libya. Such persons should voluntarily self-
disclose violations pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sec.764.5 
of this part, which in some cases may allow activities related to 
unlawfully exported or reexported items to be undertaken based on 
permission from BIS.
    (4) Relationship to other Libya license requirements. 
Notwithstanding this section, a license may be required pursuant to 
another provision of the EAR to engage in activity involving Libya. If a 
license is required pursuant to another section of the EAR, and the 
transaction also involves activity within the scope of Sec.764.2(e) of 
this part related to an installed base item in Libya, this information 
should be specified on the license application. Such applications must 
also include all known information as to how the installed base item 
originally arrived in Libya. If granted, the license for the proposed 
transaction will also authorize the related activity within the scope of 
Sec.764.2(e) of this part.

[70 FR 14391, Mar. 22, 2005, as amended at 71 FR 51719, Aug. 31, 2006; 
73 FR 49331, Aug. 21, 2008]



Sec.764.8  Voluntary self-disclosures for boycott violations.

    This section sets forth procedures for disclosing violations of part 
760 of the EAR--Restrictive Trade Practices or Boycotts and violations 
of part 762--Recordkeeping--with respect to records related to part 760. 
In this section, these provisions are referred to collectively as the 
``antiboycott provisions.'' This section also describes BIS's policy 
regarding such disclosures.
    (a) General policy. BIS strongly encourages disclosure to the Office 
of Antiboycott Compliance (OAC) if you believe that you may have 
violated the antiboycott provisions. Voluntary self-disclosures are a 
mitigating factor with respect to any enforcement action that OAC might 
take.
    (b) Limitations. (1) This section does not apply to disclosures of 
violations relating to provisions of the EAR other than the antiboycott 
provisions. Section 764.5 of this part describes how to prepare 
disclosures of violations of the EAR other than the antiboycott 
provisions.
    (2) The provisions of this section apply only when information is 
provided to OAC for its review in determining whether to take 
administrative action under parts 764 and 766 of the EAR for violations 
of the antiboycott provisions.
    (3) Timing. The provisions of this section apply only if OAC 
receives the voluntary self-disclosure as described in paragraph (c)(2) 
of this section before it commences an investigation or inquiry in 
connection with the same or substantially similar information it 
received from another source.
    (i) Mandatory reports. For purposes of this section, OAC's receipt 
of a report required to be filed under Sec.760.5 of the EAR that 
discloses that a person took an action prohibited by part 760 of the EAR 
constitutes the receipt of information from another source.
    (ii) Requests for advice. For purposes of this section, a violation 
that is revealed to OAC by a person who is seeking advice, either by 
telephone or e-mail, about the antiboycott provisions does not 
constitute the receipt of information from another source. Such 
revelation also does not constitute a voluntary self-disclosure or 
initial notification of a voluntary self-disclosure for purposes of this 
section.
    (4) Although a voluntary self-disclosure is a mitigating factor in 
determining what administrative sanctions, if any, will be sought by 
BIS, it is a factor that is considered together with all other factors 
in a case. The weight

[[Page 825]]

given to voluntary self-disclosure is solely within the discretion of 
BIS, and the mitigating effect of voluntary self-disclosure may be 
outweighed by aggravating factors. Voluntary self-disclosure does not 
prevent transactions from being referred to the Department of Justice 
for criminal prosecution. In such a case, BIS would notify the 
Department of Justice of the voluntary self-disclosure, but the decision 
as to how to consider that factor is within the discretion of the 
Department of Justice.
    (5) A firm will not be deemed to have made a disclosure under this 
section unless the individual making the disclosure did so with the full 
knowledge and authorization of the firm's senior management or of a 
person with authority to make such disclosures on behalf of the firm.
    (6) The provisions of this section do not, nor should they be relied 
on to, create, confer, or grant any rights, benefits, privileges, or 
protection enforceable at law or in equity by any person, business, or 
entity in any civil, criminal, administrative, or other matter.
    (c) Information to be provided--(1) General. Any person wanting to 
disclose information that constitutes a voluntary self-disclosure 
should, in the manner outlined below, initially notify OAC as soon as 
possible after violations are discovered, and then conduct a thorough 
review of all transactions where violations of the antiboycott 
provisions are suspected.
    (2) Initial notification. The initial notification must be in 
writing and be sent to the address in Sec.764.8(c)(7) of this part. 
The notification should include the name of the person making the 
disclosure and a brief description of the suspected violations. The 
notification should describe the general nature and extent of the 
violations. If the person making the disclosure subsequently completes 
the narrative account required by Sec.764.8(c)(3) of this part, the 
disclosure will be deemed to have been made on the date of the initial 
notification for purposes of Sec.764.8(b)(3) of this part.
    (3) Narrative account. After the initial notification, a thorough 
review should be conducted of all business transactions where possible 
antiboycott provision violations are suspected. OAC recommends that the 
review cover a period of five years prior to the date of the initial 
notification. If your review goes back less than five years, you risk 
failing to discover violations that may later become the subject of an 
investigation. Any violations not voluntarily disclosed do not receive 
the same mitigation as the violations voluntarily self-disclosed under 
this section. However, the failure to make such disclosures will not be 
treated as a separate violation unless some other section of the EAR or 
other provision of law enforced by BIS requires disclosure. Upon 
completion of the review, OAC should be furnished with a narrative 
account that sufficiently describes the suspected violations so that 
their nature and gravity can be assessed. The narrative account should 
also describe the nature of the review conducted and measures that may 
have been taken to minimize the likelihood that violations will occur in 
the future. The narrative account should include:
    (i) The kind of violation involved, for example, the furnishing of a 
certificate indicating that the goods supplied did not originate in a 
boycotted country;
    (ii) An explanation of when and how the violations occurred, 
including a description of activities surrounding the violations (e.g., 
contract negotiations, sale of goods, implementation of letter of 
credit, bid solicitation);
    (iii) The complete identities and addresses of all individuals and 
organizations, whether foreign or domestic, involved in the activities 
giving rise to the violations; and
    (iv) A description of any mitigating factors.
    (4) Supporting documentation.
    (i) The narrative account should be accompanied by copies of 
documents that explain and support it, including:
    (A) Copies of boycott certifications and declarations relating to 
the violation, or copies of documents containing prohibited language or 
prohibited requests for information;
    (B) Other documents relating to the violation, such as letters, 
facsimiles, telexes and other evidence of written or oral 
communications, negotiations, internal memoranda, purchase orders,

[[Page 826]]

invoices, bid requests, letters of credit and brochures;
    (ii) Any relevant documents not attached to the narrative account 
must be retained by the person making the disclosure until the latest of 
the following: the documents are supplied to OAC; BIS informs the 
disclosing party that it will take no action; BIS issues a warning 
letter for the violation; BIS issues an order that constitutes the final 
agency action in the matter and all avenues for appeal are exhausted; or 
the documents are no longer required to be kept under part 762 of the 
EAR.
    (5) Certification. A certification must be submitted stating that 
all of the representations made in connection with the voluntary self-
disclosure are true and correct to the best of that person's knowledge 
and belief. Certifications made by a corporation or other organization 
should be signed by an official of the corporation or other organization 
with the authority to do so. Section 764.2(g) of this part relating to 
false or misleading representations applies in connection with the 
disclosure of information under this section.
    (6) Oral presentations. OAC believes that oral presentations are 
generally not necessary to augment the written narrative account and 
supporting documentation. If the person making the disclosure believes 
otherwise, a request for a meeting should be included with the 
disclosure.
    (7) Where to make voluntary self-disclosures. The information 
constituting a voluntary self-disclosure or any other correspondence 
pertaining to a voluntary self-disclosure should be submitted to: Office 
of Antiboycott Compliance, 14th and Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Room 6098, 
Washington, DC 20230, tel: (202) 482-2381, facsimile: (202) 482-0913.
    (d) Action by the Office of Antiboycott Compliance. After OAC has 
been provided with the required narrative and supporting documentation, 
it will acknowledge the disclosure by letter, provide the person making 
the disclosure with a point of contact, and take whatever additional 
action, including further investigation, it deems appropriate. As 
quickly as the facts and circumstances of a given case permit, BIS may 
take any of the following actions:
    (1) Inform the person making the disclosure that, based on the facts 
disclosed, it plans to take no action;
    (2) Issue a warning letter;
    (3) Issue a proposed charging letter and attempt to settle the 
matter pursuant to Sec.766.18 of the EAR;
    (4) Issue a charging letter pursuant to Sec.766.3 of the EAR if a 
settlement is not reached or BIS otherwise deems appropriate; and/or
    (5) Refer the matter to the Department of Justice for criminal 
prosecution.
    (e) Criteria. Supplement no. 2 to part 766 of the EAR describes how 
BIS typically exercises its discretion regarding whether to pursue an 
antiboycott administrative enforcement case under part 766 and what 
administrative sanctions to seek in settling such a case.

  Sec. Supplement No. 1 to Part 764--Standard Terms of Orders Denying 
                            Export Privileges

    (a) General. (1) Orders denying export privileges may be 
``standard'' or ``non-standard.'' This Supplement specifies terms of the 
standard order denying export privilege with respect to denial orders 
issued after March 25, 1996. Denial orders issued prior to March 25, 
1996 are to be construed, insofar as possible, as having the same scope 
and effect as the standard denial order. All denial orders are published 
in the Federal Register. The failure by any person to comply with any 
denial order is a violation of the Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR) (see Sec.764.2(k) of this part). BIS provides a list of persons 
currently subject to denial orders on its Web site at http://
www.bis.doc.gov.
    (2) Each denial order shall include:
    (i) The name and address of any denied persons and any related 
persons subject to the denial order;
    (ii) The basis for the denial order, such as final decision 
following charges of violation, settlement agreement, section 11(h) of 
the EAA, or temporary denial order request;
    (iii) The period of denial, the effective date of the order, whether 
and for how long any portion of the denial of export privileges is 
suspended, and any conditions of probation; and
    (iv) Whether any or all outstanding licenses issued under the EAR to 
the person(s) named in the denial order or in which such person(s) has 
an interest, are suspended or revoked.
    Denial orders issued prior to March 25, 1996, are to be construed, 
insofar as possible,

[[Page 827]]

as having the same scope and effect as the standard denial order.
    The introduction to each denial order shall be specific to that 
order, and shall include: (1) The name and address of any denied persons 
and any related persons subject to the denial order; (2) the basis for 
the denial order, such as final decision following charges of violation, 
settlement agreement, Sec.11(h) of the EAA, or temporary denial order 
request; (3) the period of denial, the effective date of the order, 
whether and for how long any portion of the denial of export privileges 
is suspended, and any conditions of probation; and (4) whether any or 
all outstanding licenses issued under the EAR to the person(s) named in 
the denial order or in which such person(s) has an interest, are 
suspended or revoked.
    (b) Standard denial order terms. The following are the standard 
terms for imposing periods of export denial. Some orders also contain 
other terms, such as those that impose civil penalties, or that suspend 
all or part of the penalties or period of denial.
    ``It is therefore ordered:
    First, that [the denied person(s)] may not, directly or indirectly, 
participate in any way in any transaction involving any commodity, 
software or technology (hereinafter collectively referred to as 
``item'') exported or to be exported from the United States that is 
subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), or in any other 
activity subject to the EAR, including, but not limited to:
    A. Applying for, obtaining, or using any license, license exception, 
or export control document;
    B. Carrying on negotiations concerning, or ordering, buying, 
receiving, using, selling, delivering, storing, disposing of, 
forwarding, transporting, financing, or otherwise servicing in any way, 
any transaction involving any item exported or to be exported from the 
United States that is subject to the EAR, or in any other activity 
subject to the EAR; or
    C. Benefiting in any way from any transaction involving any item 
exported or to be exported from the United States that is subject to the 
EAR, or in any other activity subject to the EAR.
    Second, that no person may, directly or indirectly, do any of the 
following:
    A. Export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or on behalf of the 
denied person any item subject to the EAR;
    B. Take any action that facilitates the acquisition or attempted 
acquisition by a denied person of the ownership, possession, or control 
of any item subject to the EAR that has been or will be exported from 
the United States, including financing or other support activities 
related to a transaction whereby a denied person acquires or attempts to 
acquire such ownership, possession or control;
    C. Take any action to acquire from or to facilitate the acquisition 
or attempted acquisition from the denied person of any item subject to 
the EAR that has been exported from the United States;
    D. Obtain from the denied person in the United States any item 
subject to the EAR with knowledge or reason to know that the item will 
be, or is intended to be, exported from the United States; or
    E. Engage in any transaction to service any item subject to the EAR 
that has been or will be exported from the United States and which is 
owned, possessed or controlled by a denied person, or service any item, 
of whatever origin, that is owned, possessed or controlled by a denied 
person if such service involves the use of any item subject to the EAR 
that has been or will be exported from the United States. For purposes 
of this paragraph, servicing means installation, maintenance, repair, 
modification or testing.
    Third, that, after notice and opportunity for comment as provided in 
Sec.766.23 of the EAR, any person, firm, corporation, or business 
organization related to the denied person by affiliation, ownership, 
control, or position of responsibility in the conduct of trade or 
related services may also be made subject to the provisions of this 
order.
    This order, which constitutes the final agency action in this 
matter, is effective [DATE OF ISSUANCE].''

Sec.766.1  Scope.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C. This part describes the procedures for imposing 
administrative sanctions for violations of the Export Administration Act 
of 1979, as amended (the EAA), the Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR), or any order, license or authorization issued thereunder. Parts 
760 and 764 of the EAR specify those actions that constitute violations, 
and part 764 describes the sanctions that apply. In addition to 
describing the procedures for imposing sanctions, this part describes 
the procedures for imposing temporary denial orders to prevent imminent 
violations of the EAA, the EAR, or any order, license or authorization 
issued thereunder. This part also describes the procedures for taking 
the discretionary protective administrative action of denying the export 
privileges of persons who have been convicted of violating any of the 
statutes, including the EAA, listed in section 11(h) of the EAA. Nothing 
in this part shall be construed as applying to or limiting other 
administrative or enforcement action relating to the EAA or the EAR, 
including the exercise of any investigative authorities conferred by the 
EAA. This part does not confer any procedural rights or impose any 
requirements based on the Administrative Procedure Act for proceedings 
charging violations under the EAA, except as expressly provided for in 
this part.



Sec.766.2  Definitions.

    As used in this part, the following definitions apply:
    Administrative law judge. The person authorized to conduct hearings 
in administrative enforcement proceedings brought under the EAA or to 
hear appeals from the imposition of temporary denial orders. The term 
``judge'' may be used for brevity when it is clear that the reference is 
to the administrative law judge.
    Assistant Secretary. The Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement, 
Bureau of Industry and Security.
    Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). Bureau of Industry and 
Security, U.S. Department of Commerce (formerly the Bureau of Export 
Administration) and all of its component units, including, in particular 
for purposes of this part, the Office of Antiboycott Compliance, the 
Office of Export Enforcement, and the Office of Exporter Services.
    Final decision. A decision or order assessing a civil penalty, 
denial of export privileges or other sanction, or otherwise disposing of 
or dismissing a case, which is not subject to further review under this 
part, but which is subject to collection proceedings or judicial review 
in an appropriate Federal district court as authorized by law.
    Initial decision. A decision of the administrative law judge in 
proceedings involving violations relating to part 760 of the EAR, which 
is subject to appellate review by the Under Secretary of Commerce for 
Industry and Security, but which becomes the final decision in the 
absence of such an appeal.
    Party. BIS and any person named as a respondent under this part.
    Recommended decision. A decision of the administrative law judge in 
proceedings involving violations other than those relating to part 760 
of the EAR, which is subject to review by the Under Secretary of 
Commerce for Industry and Security, who issues a written order 
affirming, modifying or vacating the recommended decision.
    Respondent. Any person named as the subject of a charging letter, 
proposed charging letter, temporary denial

[[Page 829]]

order, or other order proposed or issued under this part.
    Under Secretary. The Under Secretary for Industry and Security, 
United States Department of Commerce.

[61 FR 12907, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 67 FR 20631, Apr. 26, 2002; 
70 FR 8250, Feb. 18, 2005]



Sec.766.3  Institution of administrative enforcement proceedings.

    (a) Charging letters. The Director of the Office of Export 
Enforcement (OEE) or the Director of the Office of Antiboycott 
Compliance (OAC), as appropriate, or such other Department of Commerce 
official as may be designated by the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for 
Export Enforcement, may begin administrative enforcement proceedings 
under this part by issuing a charging letter in the name of BIS. 
Supplements nos. 1 and 2 to this part describe how BIS typically 
exercises its discretion regarding the issuance of charging letters. The 
charging letter shall constitute the formal complaint and will state 
that there is reason to believe that a violation of the EAA, the EAR, or 
any order, license or authorization issued thereunder, has occurred. It 
will set forth the essential facts about the alleged violation, refer to 
the specific regulatory or other provisions involved, and give notice of 
the sanctions available under part 764 of the EAR. The charging letter 
will inform the respondent that failure to answer the charges as 
provided in Sec.766.6 of this part will be treated as a default under 
Sec.766.7 of this part, that the respondent is entitled to a hearing 
if a written demand for one is requested with the answer, and that the 
respondent may be represented by counsel, or by other authorized 
representative who has a power of attorney to represent the respondent. 
A copy of the charging letter shall be filed with the administrative law 
judge, which filing shall toll the running of the applicable statute of 
limitations. Charging letters may be amended or supplemented at any time 
before an answer is filed, or, with permission of the administrative law 
judge, afterwards. BIS may unilaterally withdraw charging letters at any 
time, by notifying the respondent and the administrative law judge.
    (b) Notice of issuance of charging letter instituting administrative 
enforcement proceeding. A respondent shall be notified of the issuance 
of a charging letter, or any amendment or supplement thereto:
    (1) By sending a copy by registered or certified mail or by express 
mail or commercial courier or delivery service addressed to the 
respondent at the respondent's last known address;
    (2) By leaving a copy with the respondent or with an officer, a 
managing or general agent, or any other agent authorized by appointment 
or by law to receive service of process for the respondent; or
    (3) By leaving a copy with a person of suitable age and discretion 
who resides at the respondent's last known dwelling.
    (4) Delivery of a copy of the charging letter, if made in the manner 
described in paragraph (b)(2) or (3) of this section, shall be evidenced 
by a certificate of service signed by the person making such service, 
stating the method of service and the identity of the person with whom 
the charging letter was left. The certificate of service shall be filed 
with the administrative law judge.
    (c) The date of service of notice of the issuance of a charging 
letter instituting an administrative enforcement proceeding, or service 
of notice of the issuance of a supplement or amendment to a charging 
letter, is the date of its delivery, or of its attempted delivery, by 
any means described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.

[61 FR 12907, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 69 FR 7870, Feb. 20, 2004; 72 
FR 39005, July 17, 2007; 78 FR 48606, Aug. 9, 2013]



Sec.766.4  Representation.

    A respondent individual may appear and participate in person, a 
corporation by a duly authorized officer or employee, and a partnership 
by a partner. If a respondent is represented by counsel, counsel shall 
be a member in good standing of the bar of any State, Commonwealth or 
Territory of the United States, or of the District of Columbia, or be 
licensed to practice law in the country in which counsel resides if not 
the United States. A respondent personally, or through counsel or other

[[Page 830]]

representative, shall file a notice of appearance with the 
administrative law judge. BIS will be represented by the Office of Chief 
Counsel for Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce.

[61 FR 12907, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 67 FR 45633, July 10, 2002]



Sec.766.5  Filing and service of papers other than charging letter.

    (a) Filing. All papers to be filed shall be addressed to EAR 
Administrative Enforcement Proceedings, U.S. Coast Guard, ALJ Docketing 
Center, 40 S. Gay Street, Baltimore, Maryland, 21202-4022, or such other 
place as the administrative law judge may designate. Filing by United 
States mail, first class postage prepaid, by express or equivalent 
parcel delivery service, or by hand delivery, is acceptable. Filing by 
mail from a foreign country shall be by airmail. In addition, the 
administrative law judge may authorize filing of papers by facsimile or 
other electronic means, provided that a hard copy of any such paper is 
subsequently filed. A copy of each paper filed shall be simultaneously 
served on each party.
    (b) Service. Service shall be made by personal delivery or by 
mailing one copy of each paper to each party in the proceeding. Service 
by delivery service or facsimile, in the manner set forth in paragraph 
(a) of this section, is acceptable. Service on BIS shall be addressed to 
the Chief Counsel for Industry and Security, Room H-3839, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20230. Service on a respondent shall be to the address 
to which the charging letter was sent or to such other address as 
respondent may provide. When a party has appeared by counsel or other 
representative, service on counsel or other representative shall 
constitute service on that party.
    (c) Date. The date of filing or service is the day when the papers 
are deposited in the mail or are delivered in person, by delivery 
service, or by facsimile.
    (d) Certificate of service. A certificate of service signed by the 
party making service, stating the date and manner of service, shall 
accompany every paper, other than the charging letter, filed and served 
on parties.
    (e) Computing period of time. In computing any period of time 
prescribed or allowed by this part or by order of the administrative law 
judge or the Under Secretary, the day of the act, event, or default from 
which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included. 
The last day of the period so computed is to be included unless it is a 
Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal holiday (as defined in Rule 6(a) of the 
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure), in which case the period runs until 
the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, a Sunday, nor a 
legal holiday. Intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays are 
excluded from the computation when the period of time prescribed or 
allowed is seven days or less.

[61 FR 12907, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 67 FR 45633, July 10, 2002; 
70 FR 8250, Feb. 18, 2005]



Sec.766.6  Answer and demand for hearing.

    (a) When to answer. The respondent must answer the charging letter 
within 30 days after being served with notice of the issuance of a 
charging letter instituting an administrative enforcement proceeding, or 
within 30 days of notice of any supplement or amendment to a charging 
letter, unless time is extended under Sec.766.16 of this part.
    (b) Contents of answer. The answer must be responsive to the 
charging letter and must fully set forth the nature of the respondent's 
defense or defenses. The answer must admit or deny specifically each 
separate allegation of the charging letter; if the respondent is without 
knowledge, the answer must so state and will operate as a denial. 
Failure to deny or controvert a particular allegation will be deemed an 
admission of that allegation. The answer must also set forth any 
additional or new matter the respondent believes supports a defense or 
claim of mitigation. Any defense or partial defense not specifically set 
forth in the answer shall be deemed waived, and evidence thereon may be 
refused, except for good cause shown.

[[Page 831]]

    (c) Demand for hearing. If the respondent desires a hearing, a 
written demand for one must be submitted with the answer. Any demand by 
BIS for a hearing must be filed with the administrative law judge within 
30 days after service of the answer. Failure to make a timely written 
demand for a hearing shall be deemed a waiver of the party's right to a 
hearing, except for good cause shown. If no party demands a hearing, the 
matter will go forward in accordance with the procedures set forth in 
Sec.766.15 of this part.
    (d) English language required. The answer, all other papers, and all 
documentary evidence must be submitted in English, or translations into 
English must be filed and served at the same time.



Sec.766.7  Default.

    (a) General. Failure of the respondent to file an answer within the 
time provided constitutes a waiver of the respondent's right to appear 
and contest the allegations in the charging letter. In such event, the 
administrative law judge, on BIS's motion and without further notice to 
the respondent, shall find the facts to be as alleged in the charging 
letter and render an initial or recommended decision containing findings 
of fact and appropriate conclusions of law and issue or recommend an 
order imposing appropriate sanctions. The decision and order shall be 
subject to review by the Under Secretary in accordance with the 
applicable procedures set forth in Sec.766.21 or Sec.766.22 of this 
part.
    (b) Petition to set aside default--(1) Procedure. Upon petition 
filed by a respondent against whom a default order has been issued, 
which petition is accompanied by an answer meeting the requirements of 
Sec.766.6(b) of this part, the Under Secretary may, after giving all 
parties an opportunity to comment, and for good cause shown, set aside 
the default and vacate the order entered thereon and remand the matter 
to the administrative law judge for further proceedings.
    (2) Time limits. A petition under this section must be made within 
one year of the date of entry of the order which the petition seeks to 
have vacated.



Sec.766.8  Summary decision.

    At any time after a proceeding has been initiated, a party may move 
for a summary decision disposing of some or all of the issues. The 
administrative law judge may render an initial or recommended decision 
and issue or recommend an order if the entire record shows, as to the 
issue(s) under consideration:
    (a) That there is no genuine issue as to any material fact; and
    (b) That the moving party is entitled to a summary decision as a 
matter of law.



Sec.766.9  Discovery.

    (a) General. The parties are encouraged to engage in voluntary 
discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the 
subject matter of the pending proceeding. The provisions of the Federal 
Rules of Civil Procedure relating to discovery apply to the extent 
consistent with this part and except as otherwise provided by the 
administrative law judge or by waiver or agreement of the parties. The 
administrative law judge may make any order which justice requires to 
protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or 
undue burden or expense. These orders may include limitations on the 
scope, method, time and place of discovery, and provisions for 
protecting the confidentiality of classified or otherwise sensitive 
information.
    (b) Interrogatories and requests for admission or production of 
documents. A party may serve on any party interrogatories, requests for 
admission, or requests for production of documents for inspection and 
copying, and a party concerned may apply to the administrative law judge 
for such enforcement or protective order as that party deems warranted 
with respect to such discovery. The service of a discovery request shall 
be made at least 20 days before the scheduled date of the hearing unless 
the administrative law judge specifies a shorter time period. Copies of 
interrogatories, requests for admission and requests for production of 
documents and responses thereto shall be served on all parties, and a 
copy of the certificate of service shall be filed with the 
administrative law judge. Matters

[[Page 832]]

of fact or law of which admission is requested shall be deemed admitted 
unless, within a period designated in the request (at least 10 days 
after service, or within such additional time as the administrative law 
judge may allow), the party to whom the request is directed serves upon 
the requesting party a sworn statement either denying specifically the 
matters of which admission is requested or setting forth in detail the 
reasons why the party to whom the request is directed cannot truthfully 
either admit or deny such matters.
    (c) Depositions. Upon application of a party and for good cause 
shown, the administrative law judge may order the taking of the 
testimony of any person by deposition and the production of specified 
documents or materials by the person at the deposition. The application 
shall state the purpose of the deposition and set forth the facts sought 
to be established through the deposition.
    (d) Enforcement. The administrative law judge may order a party to 
answer designated questions, to produce specified documents or things or 
to take any other action in response to a proper discovery request. If a 
party does not comply with such an order, the administrative law judge 
may make a determination or enter any order in the proceeding as the 
judge deems reasonable and appropriate. The judge may strike related 
charges or defenses in whole or in part or may take particular facts 
relating to the discovery request to which the party failed or refused 
to respond as being established for purposes of the proceeding in 
accordance with the contentions of the party seeking discovery. In 
addition, enforcement by a district court of the United States may be 
sought under section 12(a) of the EAA.



Sec.766.10  Subpoenas.

    (a) Issuance. Upon the application of any party, supported by a 
satisfactory showing that there is substantial reason to believe that 
the evidence would not otherwise be available, the administrative law 
judge will issue subpoenas requiring the attendance and testimony of 
witnesses and the production of such books, records or other documentary 
or physical evidence for the purpose of the hearing, as the judge deems 
relevant and material to the proceedings, and reasonable in scope.
    (b) Service. Subpoenas issued by the administrative law judge may be 
served in any of the methods set forth in Sec.766.5(b) of this part.
    (c) Timing. Applications for subpoenas must be submitted at least 10 
days before the scheduled hearing or deposition, unless the 
administrative law judge determines, for good cause shown, that 
extraordinary circumstances warrant a shorter time.



Sec.766.11  Matter protected against disclosure.

    (a) Protective measures. It is often necessary for BIS to receive 
and consider information and documents that are sensitive from the 
standpoint of national security, foreign policy, business 
confidentiality, or investigative concern, and that are to be protected 
against disclosure. Accordingly, and without limiting the discretion of 
the administrative law judge to give effect to any other applicable 
privilege, it is proper for the administrative law judge to limit 
discovery or introduction of evidence or to issue such protective or 
other orders as in the judge's judgment may be consistent with the 
objective of preventing undue disclosure of the sensitive documents or 
information. Where the administrative law judge determines that 
documents containing the sensitive matter need to be made available to a 
respondent to avoid prejudice, the judge may direct BIS to prepare an 
unclassified and nonsensitive summary or extract of the documents. The 
administrative law judge may compare the extract or summary with the 
original to ensure that it is supported by the source document and that 
it omits only so much as must remain classified or undisclosed. The 
summary or extract may be admitted as evidence in the record.
    (b) Arrangements for access. If the administrative law judge 
determines that this procedure is unsatisfactory and that classified or 
otherwise sensitive matter must form part of the record in order to 
avoid prejudice to a party, the

[[Page 833]]

judge may provide the parties opportunity to make arrangements that 
permit a party or a representative to have access to such matter without 
compromising sensitive information. Such arrangements may include 
obtaining security clearances, obtaining a national interest 
determination under section 12(c) of the EAA, or giving counsel for a 
party access to sensitive information and documents subject to 
assurances against further disclosure, including a protective order, if 
necessary.



Sec.766.12  Prehearing conference.

    (a) The administrative law judge, on the judge's own motion or on 
request of a party, may direct the parties to participate in a 
prehearing conference, either in person or by telephone, to consider:
    (1) Simplification of issues;
    (2) The necessity or desirability of amendments to pleadings;
    (3) Obtaining stipulations of fact and of documents to avoid 
unnecessary proof; or
    (4) Such other matters as may expedite the disposition of the 
proceedings.
    (b) The administrative law judge may order the conference 
proceedings to be recorded electronically or taken by a reporter, 
transcribed and filed with the judge.
    (c) If a prehearing conference is impracticable, the administrative 
law judge may direct the parties to correspond with the judge to achieve 
the purposes of such a conference.
    (d) The administrative law judge will prepare a summary of any 
actions agreed on or taken pursuant to this section. The summary will 
include any written stipulations or agreements made by the parties.



Sec.766.13  Hearings.

    (a) Scheduling. The administrative law judge, by agreement with the 
parties or upon notice to all parties of not less than 30 days, will 
schedule a hearing. All hearings will be held in Washington, D.C., 
unless the administrative law judge determines, for good cause shown, 
that another location would better serve the interests of justice.
    (b) Hearing procedure. Hearings will be conducted in a fair and 
impartial manner by the administrative law judge, who may limit 
attendance at any hearing or portion thereof to the parties, their 
representatives and witnesses if the judge deems this necessary or 
advisable in order to protect sensitive matter (see Sec.766.11 of this 
part) from improper disclosure. The rules of evidence prevailing in 
courts of law do not apply, and all evidentiary material deemed by the 
administrative law judge to be relevant and material to the proceeding 
and not unduly repetitious will be received and given appropriate 
weight.
    (c) Testimony and record. Witnesses will testify under oath or 
affirmation. A verbatim record of the hearing and of any other oral 
proceedings will be taken by reporter or by electronic recording, 
transcribed and filed with the administrative law judge. A respondent 
may examine the transcript and may obtain a copy by paying any 
applicable costs. Upon such terms as the administrative law judge deems 
just, the judge may direct that the testimony of any person be taken by 
deposition and may admit an affidavit or declaration as evidence, 
provided that any affidavits or declarations have been filed and served 
on the parties sufficiently in advance of the hearing to permit a party 
to file and serve an objection thereto on the grounds that it is 
necessary that the affiant or declarant testify at the hearing and be 
subject to cross-examination.
    (d) Failure to appear. If a party fails to appear in person or by 
counsel at a scheduled hearing, the hearing may nevertheless proceed, 
and that party's failure to appear will not affect the validity of the 
hearing or any proceedings or action taken thereafter.



Sec.766.14  Interlocutory review of rulings.

    (a) At the request of a party, or on the judge's own initiative, the 
administrative law judge may certify to the Under Secretary for review a 
ruling that does not finally dispose of a proceeding, if the 
administrative law judge determines that immediate review may hasten or 
facilitate the final disposition of the matter.
    (b) Upon certification to the Under Secretary of the interlocutory 
ruling for review, the parties will have 10 days

[[Page 834]]

to file and serve briefs stating their positions, and five days to file 
and serve replies, following which the Under Secretary will decide the 
matter promptly.



Sec.766.15  Proceeding without a hearing.

    If the parties have waived a hearing, the case will be decided on 
the record by the administrative law judge. Proceeding without a hearing 
does not relieve the parties from the necessity of proving the facts 
supporting their charges or defenses. Affidavits or declarations, 
depositions, admissions, answers to interrogatories and stipulations may 
supplement other documentary evidence in the record. The administrative 
law judge will give each party reasonable opportunity to file rebuttal 
evidence.



Sec.766.16  Procedural stipulations; extension of time.

    (a) Procedural stipulations. Unless otherwise ordered, a written 
stipulation agreed to by all parties and filed with the administrative 
law judge will modify any procedures established by this part.
    (b) Extension of time. (1) The parties may extend any applicable 
time limitation, by stipulation filed with the administrative law judge 
before the time limitation expires.
    (2) The administrative law judge may, on the judge's own initiative 
or upon application by any party, either before or after the expiration 
of any applicable time limitation, extend the time within which to file 
and serve an answer to a charging letter or do any other act required by 
this part.



Sec.766.17  Decision of the administrative law judge.

    (a) Predecisional matters. Except for default proceedings under 
Sec.766.7 of this part, the administrative law judge will give the 
parties reasonable opportunity to submit the following, which will be 
made a part of the record:
    (1) Exceptions to any ruling by the judge or to the admissibility of 
evidence proffered at the hearing;
    (2) Proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law;
    (3) Supporting legal arguments for the exceptions and proposed 
findings and conclusions submitted; and
    (4) A proposed order.
    (b) Decision and order. After considering the entire record in the 
proceeding, the administrative law judge will issue a written decision.
    (1) Initial decision. For proceedings charging violations relating 
to part 760 of the EAR, the decision rendered shall be an initial 
decision. The decision will include findings of fact, conclusions of 
law, and findings as to whether there has been a violation of the EAA, 
the EAR, or any order, license or authorization issued thereunder. If 
the administrative law judge finds that the evidence of record is 
insufficient to sustain a finding that a violation has occurred with 
respect to one or more charges, the judge shall order dismissal of the 
charges in whole or in part, as appropriate. If the administrative law 
judge finds that one or more violations have been committed, the judge 
may issue an order imposing administrative sanctions, as provided in 
part 764 of the EAR. The decision and order shall be served on each 
party, and shall become effective as the final decision of the 
Department 30 days after service, unless an appeal is filed in 
accordance with Sec.766.21 of this part.
    (2) Recommended decision. For proceedings not involving violations 
relating to part 760 of the EAR, the decision rendered shall be a 
recommended decision. The decision will include recommended findings of 
fact, conclusions of law, and findings as to whether there has been a 
violation of the EAA, the EAR or any order, license or authorization 
issued thereunder. If the administrative law judge finds that the 
evidence of record is insufficient to sustain a recommended finding that 
a violation has occurred with respect to one or more charges, the judge 
shall recommend dismissal of any such charge. If the administrative law 
judge finds that one or more violations have been committed, the judge 
shall recommend an order imposing administrative sanctions, as provided 
in part 764 of the EAR, or such other action as the judge deems 
appropriate. The administrative law judge shall immediately certify the 
record, including the original copy of the recommended decision and 
order, to the Under Secretary for review in accordance with Sec.766.22 
of this part.

[[Page 835]]

The administrative law judge shall also immediately serve the 
recommended decision on all parties. Because of the time limits 
established in the EAA for review by the Under Secretary, service upon 
parties shall be by personal delivery, express mail or other overnight 
carrier.
    (c) Suspension of sanctions. Any order imposing administrative 
sanctions may provide for the suspension of the sanction imposed, in 
whole or in part and on such terms of probation or other conditions as 
the administrative law judge or the Under Secretary may specify. Any 
suspension order may be modified or revoked by the signing official upon 
application of BIS showing a violation of the probationary terms or 
other conditions, after service on the respondent of notice of the 
application in accordance with the service provisions of Sec.766.3 of 
this part, and with such opportunity for response as the responsible 
signing official in his/her discretion may allow. A copy of any order 
modifying or revoking the suspension shall also be served on the 
respondent in accordance with the provisions of Sec.766.3 of this 
part.
    (d) Time for decision. Administrative enforcement proceedings not 
involving violations relating to part 760 of the EAR shall be concluded, 
including review by the Under Secretary under Sec.766.22 of this part, 
within one year of the submission of a charging letter, unless the 
administrative law judge, for good cause shown, extends such period. The 
charging letter will be deemed to have been submitted to the 
administrative law judge on the date the respondent files an answer or 
on the date BIS files a motion for a default order pursuant to Sec.
766.7(a) of this part, whichever occurs first.



Sec.766.18  Settlement.

    (a) Cases may be settled before service of a charging letter. In 
cases in which settlement is reached before service of a charging 
letter, a proposed charging letter will be prepared, and a settlement 
proposal consisting of a settlement agreement and order will be 
submitted to the Assistant Secretary for approval and signature. If the 
Assistant Secretary does not approve the proposal, he/she will notify 
the parties and the case will proceed as though no settlement proposal 
had been made. If the Assistant Secretary approves the proposal, he/she 
will issue an appropriate order, and no action will be required by the 
administrative law judge.
    (b) Cases may also be settled after service of a charging letter. 
(1) If the case is pending before the administrative law judge, the 
judge shall stay the proceedings for a reasonable period of time, 
usually not to exceed 30 days, upon notification by the parties that 
they have entered into good faith settlement negotiations. The 
administrative law judge may, in his/her discretion, grant additional 
stays. If settlement is reached, a proposal will be submitted to the 
Assistant Secretary for approval and signature. If the Assistant 
Secretary approves the proposal, he/she will issue an appropriate order, 
and notify the administrative law judge that the case is withdrawn from 
adjudication. If the Assistant Secretary does not approve the proposal, 
he/she will notify the parties and the case will proceed to adjudication 
by the administrative law judge as though no settlement proposal had 
been made.
    (2) If the case is pending before the Under Secretary under Sec.
766.21 or Sec.766.22 of this part, the parties may submit a settlement 
proposal to the Under Secretary for approval and signature. If the Under 
Secretary approves the proposal, he/she will issue an appropriate order. 
If the Under Secretary does not approve the proposal, the case will 
proceed to final decision in accordance with Sec.766.21 or Sec.
766.22 of this part, as appropriate.
    (c) Any order disposing of a case by settlement may suspend the 
administrative sanction imposed, in whole or in part, on such terms of 
probation or other conditions as the signing official may specify. Any 
such suspension may be modified or revoked by the signing official, in 
accordance with the procedures set forth in Sec.766.17(c) of this 
part.
    (d) Any respondent who agrees to an order imposing any 
administrative sanction does so solely for the purpose of resolving the 
claims in the administrative enforcement proceeding brought under this 
part. This reflects

[[Page 836]]

the fact that BIS has neither the authority nor the responsibility for 
instituting, conducting, settling, or otherwise disposing of criminal 
proceedings. That authority and responsibility are vested in the 
Attorney General and the Department of Justice.
    (e) Cases that are settled may not be reopened or appealed.
    (f) Supplements nos. 1 and 2 to this part describe how BIS typically 
exercises its discretion regarding the terms under which it is willing 
to settle particular cases.

[61 FR 12907, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 69 FR 7870, Feb. 20, 2004; 72 
FR 39006, July 17, 2007]



Sec.766.19  Reopening.

    The respondent may petition the administrative law judge within one 
year of the date of the final decision, except where the decision arises 
from a default judgment or from a settlement, to reopen an 
administrative enforcement proceeding to receive any relevant and 
material evidence which was unknown or unobtainable at the time the 
proceeding was held. The petition must include a summary of such 
evidence, the reasons why it is deemed relevant and material, and the 
reasons why it could not have been presented at the time the proceedings 
were held. The administrative law judge will grant or deny the petition 
after providing other parties reasonable opportunity to comment. If the 
proceeding is reopened, the administrative law judge may make such 
arrangements as the judge deems appropriate for receiving the new 
evidence and completing the record. The administrative law judge will 
then issue a new initial or recommended decision and order, and the case 
will proceed to final decision and order in accordance with Sec.766.21 
or Sec.766.22 of this part, as appropriate.



Sec.766.20  Record for decision and availability of documents.

    (a) General. The transcript of hearings, exhibits, rulings, orders, 
all papers and requests filed in the proceedings and, for purposes of 
any appeal under Sec.766.21 of this part or review under Sec.766.22 
of this part, the decision of the administrative law judge and such 
submissions as are provided for by Sec. Sec.766.21 and 766.22 of this 
part, will constitute the record and the exclusive basis for decision. 
When a case is settled after the service of a charging letter, the 
record will consist of any and all of the foregoing, as well as the 
settlement agreement and the order. When a case is settled before 
service of a charging letter, the record will consist of the proposed 
charging letter, the settlement agreement and the order.
    (b) Restricted access. On the judge's own motion, or on the motion 
of any party, the administrative law judge may direct that there be a 
restricted access portion of the record for any material in the record 
to which public access is restricted by law or by the terms of a 
protective order entered in the proceedings. A party seeking to restrict 
access to any portion of the record is responsible for submitting, at 
the time specified in Sec.766.20(c)(2) of this part, a version of the 
document proposed for public availability that reflects the requested 
deletion. The restricted access portion of the record will be placed in 
a separate file and the file will be clearly marked to avoid improper 
disclosure and to identify it as a portion of the official record in the 
proceedings. The administrative law judge may act at any time to permit 
material that becomes declassified or unrestricted through passage of 
time to be transferred to the unrestricted access portion of the record.
    (c) Availability of documents--(1) Scope. (i) For proceedings 
started on or after October 12, 1979, all charging letters, answers, 
initial and recommended decisions, and orders disposing of a case will 
be made available for public inspection in the BIS Freedom of 
Information Records Inspection Facility, U.S. Department of Commerce, 
Room H-6624, 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 
20230. The complete record for decision, as defined in paragraphs (a) 
and (b) of this section will be made available on request. In addition, 
all decisions of the Under Secretary on appeal pursuant to Sec.766.22 
of this part and those final orders providing for denial, suspension or 
revocation of export privileges shall be published in the Federal 
Register.
    (ii) For proceedings started before October 12, 1979, the public 
availability

[[Page 837]]

of the record for decision will be governed by the applicable 
regulations in effect when the proceedings were begun.
    (2) Timing--(i) Antiboycott cases. For matters relating to part 760 
of the EAR, documents are available immediately upon filing, except for 
any portion of the record for which a request for segregation is made. 
Parties that seek to restrict access to any portion of the record under 
paragraph (b) of this section must make such a request, together with 
the reasons supporting the claim of confidentiality, simultaneously with 
the submission of material for the record.
    (ii) Other cases. In all other cases, documents will be available 
only after the final administrative disposition of the case. In these 
cases, parties desiring to restrict access to any portion of the record 
under paragraph (b) of this section must assert their claim of 
confidentiality, together with the reasons for supporting the claim, 
before the close of the proceeding.



Sec.766.21  Appeals.

    (a) Grounds. For proceedings charging violations relating to part 
760 of the EAR, a party may appeal to the Under Secretary from an order 
disposing of a proceeding or an order denying a petition to set aside a 
default or a petition for reopening, on the grounds:
    (1) That a necessary finding of fact is omitted, erroneous or 
unsupported by substantial evidence of record;
    (2) That a necessary legal conclusion or finding is contrary to law;
    (3) That prejudicial procedural error occurred, or
    (4) That the decision or the extent of sanctions is arbitrary, 
capricious or an abuse of discretion. The appeal must specify the 
grounds on which the appeal is based and the provisions of the order 
from which the appeal is taken.
    (b) Filing of appeal. An appeal from an order must be filed with the 
Office of the Under Secretary for Export Administration, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room H-3898, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, within 30 
days after service of the order appealed from. If the Under Secretary 
cannot act on an appeal for any reason, the Under Secretary will 
designate another Department of Commerce official to receive and act on 
the appeal.
    (c) Effect of appeal. The filing of an appeal shall not stay the 
operation of any order, unless the order by its express terms so 
provides or unless the Under Secretary, upon application by a party and 
with opportunity for response, grants a stay.
    (d) Appeal procedure. The Under Secretary normally will not hold 
hearings or entertain oral argument on appeals. A full written statement 
in support of the appeal must be filed with the appeal and be 
simultaneously served on all parties, who shall have 30 days from 
service to file a reply. At his/her discretion, the Under Secretary may 
accept new submissions, but will not ordinarily accept those submissions 
filed more than 30 days after the filing of the reply to the appellant's 
first submission.
    (e) Decisions. The decision will be in writing and will be 
accompanied by an order signed by the Under Secretary giving effect to 
the decision. The order may either dispose of the case by affirming, 
modifying or reversing the order of the administrative law judge or may 
refer the case back to the administrative law judge for further 
proceedings.



Sec.766.22  Review by Under Secretary.

    (a) Recommended decision. For proceedings not involving violations 
relating to part 760 of the EAR, the administrative law judge shall 
immediately refer the recommended decision and order to the Under 
Secretary. Because of the time limits provided under the EAA for review 
by the Under Secretary, service of the recommended decision and order on 
the parties, all papers filed by the parties in response, and the final 
decision of the Under Secretary must be by personal delivery, facsimile, 
express mail or other overnight carrier. If the Under Secretary cannot 
act on a recommended decision and order for any reason, the Under 
Secretary will designate another Department of Commerce official to 
receive and act on the recommendation.
    (b) Submissions by parties. Parties shall have 12 days from the date 
of

[[Page 838]]

issuance of the recommended decision and order in which to submit 
simultaneous responses. Parties thereafter shall have eight days from 
receipt of any response(s) in which to submit replies. Any response or 
reply must be received within the time specified by the Under Secretary.
    (c) Final decision. Within 30 days after receipt of the recommended 
decision and order, the Under Secretary shall issue a written order 
affirming, modifying or vacating the recommended decision and order of 
the administrative law judge. If he/she vacates the recommended decision 
and order, the Under Secretary may refer the case back to the 
administrative law judge for further proceedings. Because of the time 
limits, the Under Secretary's review will ordinarily be limited to the 
written record for decision, including the transcript of any hearing, 
and any submissions by the parties concerning the recommended decision.
    (d) Delivery. The final decision and implementing order shall be 
served on the parties and will be publicly available in accordance with 
Sec.766.20 of this part.

[61 FR 12907, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 75 FR 33683, June 15, 2010]



Sec.766.23  Related persons.

    (a) General. In order to prevent evasion, certain types of orders 
under this part may be made applicable not only to the respondent, but 
also to other persons then or thereafter related to the respondent by 
ownership, control, position of responsibility, affiliation, or other 
connection in the conduct of trade or business. Orders that may be made 
applicable to related persons include those that deny or affect export 
privileges, including temporary denial orders, and those that exclude a 
respondent from practice before BIS.
    (b) Procedures. If BIS has reason to believe that a person is 
related to the respondent and that an order that is being sought or that 
has been issued should be made applicable to that person in order to 
prevent evasion of the order, BIS shall, except in an ex parte 
proceeding under Sec.766.24(a) of this part, give that person notice 
in accordance with Sec.766.5(b) of this part and an opportunity to 
oppose such action. If the official authorized to issue the order 
against the respondent finds that the order should be made applicable to 
that person in order to prevent evasion of the order that official shall 
issue or amend the order accordingly.
    (c) Appeals. Any person named by BIS in an order as related to the 
respondent may appeal that action. The sole issues to be raised and 
ruled on in any such appeal are whether the person so named is related 
to the respondent and whether the order is justified in order to prevent 
evasion.
    (1) A person named as related to the respondent in an order issued 
pursuant to Sec.766.25 may file an appeal with the Under Secretary for 
Industry and Security pursuant to part 756 of the EAR.
    (2) A person named as related to the respondent in an order issued 
pursuant to other provisions of this part may file an appeal with the 
administrative law judge.
    (i) If the order made applicable to the related person is for a 
violation related to part 760 of the EAR, the related person may file an 
appeal with the administrative law judge. The related person may appeal 
the initial decision and order of the administrative law judge to the 
Under Secretary in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sec.
766.21.
    (ii) If the order made applicable to the related person is issued 
pursuant to Sec.766.24 of this part to prevent an imminent violation, 
the recommended decision and order of the administrative law judge shall 
be reviewed by the Under Secretary in accordance with the procedures set 
forth in Sec.766.24(e) of this part.
    (iii) If the order made applicable to the related person is for a 
violation of the EAR not related to part 760 of the EAR and not issued 
pursuant to Sec.766.24 of this part, the recommended decision and 
order of the administrative law judge shall be reviewed by the Under 
Secretary in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sec.766.22 of 
this part.

[61 FR 12907, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 71 FR 27605, May 12, 2006]



Sec.766.24  Temporary denials.

    (a) General. The procedures in this section apply to temporary 
denial orders issued on or after July 12, 1985. For temporary denial 
orders issued on or

[[Page 839]]

before July 11, 1985, the proceedings will be governed by the applicable 
regulations in effect at the time the temporary denial orders were 
issued. Without limiting any other action BIS may take under the EAR 
with respect to any application, order, license or authorization issued 
under the EAA, BIS may ask the Assistant Secretary to issue a temporary 
denial order on an ex parte basis to prevent an imminent violation, as 
defined in this section, of the EAA, the EAR, or any order, license or 
authorization issued thereunder. The temporary denial order will deny 
export privileges to any person named in the order as provided for in 
Sec.764.3(a)(2) of the EAR.
    (b) Issuance. (1) The Assistant Secretary may issue an order 
temporarily denying to a person any or all of the export privileges 
described in part 764 of the EAR upon a showing by BIS that the order is 
necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the 
EAA, the EAR, or any order, license or authorization issued thereunder.
    (2) The temporary denial order shall define the imminent violation 
and state why it was issued without a hearing. Because all denial orders 
are public, the description of the imminent violation and the reasons 
for proceeding on an ex parte basis set forth therein shall be stated in 
a manner that is consistent with national security, foreign policy, 
business confidentiality, and investigative concerns.
    (3) A violation may be ``imminent'' either in time or in degree of 
likelihood. To establish grounds for the temporary denial order, BIS may 
show either that a violation is about to occur, or that the general 
circumstances of the matter under investigation or case under criminal 
or administrative charges demonstrate a likelihood of future violations. 
To indicate the likelihood of future violations, BIS may show that the 
violation under investigation or charges is significant, deliberate, 
covert and/or likely to occur again, rather than technical or negligent, 
and that it is appropriate to give notice to companies in the United 
States and abroad to cease dealing with the person in U.S.-origin items 
in order to reduce the likelihood that a person under investigation or 
charges continues to export or acquire abroad such items, risking 
subsequent disposition contrary to export control requirements. Lack of 
information establishing the precise time a violation may occur does not 
preclude a finding that a violation is imminent, so long as there is 
sufficient reason to believe the likelihood of a violation.
    (4) The temporary denial order will be issued for a period not 
exceeding 180 days.
    (5) Notice of the issuance of a temporary denial order on an ex 
parte basis shall be given in accordance with Sec.766.5(b) of this 
part upon issuance.
    (c) Related persons. A temporary denial order may be made applicable 
to related persons in accordance with Sec.766.23 of this part.
    (d) Renewal. (1) If, no later than 20 days before the expiration 
date of a temporary denial order, BIS believes that renewal of the 
denial order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent 
violation, BIS may file a written request setting forth the basis for 
its belief, including any additional or changed circumstances, asking 
that the Assistant Secretary renew the temporary denial order, with 
modifications, if any are appropriate, for an additional period not 
exceeding 180 days. BIS's request shall be delivered to the respondent, 
or any agent designated for this purpose, in accordance with Sec.
766.5(b) of this part, which will constitute notice of the renewal 
application.
    (2) Non-resident respondents. To facilitate timely notice of renewal 
requests, a respondent not a resident of the United States may designate 
a local agent for this purpose and provide written notification of such 
designation to BIS in the manner set forth in Sec.766.5(b) of this 
part.
    (3) Hearing. (i) A respondent may oppose renewal of a temporary 
denial order by filing with the Assistant Secretary a written 
submission, supported by appropriate evidence, to be received not later 
than seven days before the expiration date of such order. For good cause 
shown, the Assistant Secretary may consider submissions received not

[[Page 840]]

later than five days before the expiration date. The Assistant Secretary 
ordinarily will not allow discovery; however, for good cause shown in 
respondent's submission, he/she may allow the parties to take limited 
discovery, consisting of a request for production of documents. If 
requested by the respondent in the written submission, the Assistant 
Secretary shall hold a hearing on the renewal application. The hearing 
shall be on the record and ordinarily will consist only of oral 
argument. The only issue to be considered on BIS's request for renewal 
is whether the temporary denial order should be continued to prevent an 
imminent violation as defined herein.
    (ii) Any person designated as a related person may not oppose the 
issuance or renewal of the temporary denial order, but may file an 
appeal in accordance with Sec.766.23(c) of this part.
    (iii) If no written opposition to BIS's renewal request is received 
within the specified time, the Assistant Secretary may issue the order 
renewing the temporary denial order without a hearing.
    (4) A temporary denial order may be renewed more than once.
    (e) Appeals--(1) Filing. (i) A respondent may, at any time, file an 
appeal of the initial or renewed temporary denial order with the 
administrative law judge.
    (ii) The filing of an appeal shall stay neither the effectiveness of 
the temporary denial order nor any application for renewal, nor will it 
operate to bar the Assistant Secretary's consideration of any renewal 
application.
    (2) Grounds. A respondent may appeal on the grounds that the finding 
that the order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an 
imminent violation is unsupported.
    (3) Appeal procedure. A full written statement in support of the 
appeal must be filed with the appeal together with appropriate evidence, 
and be simultaneously served on BIS, which shall have seven days from 
receipt to file a reply. Service on the administrative law judge shall 
be addressed to U.S. Coast Guard, ALJ Docketing Center, 40 S. Gay 
Street, Baltimore, Maryland, 21202-4022. Service on BIS shall be as set 
forth in Sec.766.5(b) of this part. The administrative law judge 
normally will not hold hearings or entertain oral argument on appeals.
    (4) Recommended decision. Within 10 working days after an appeal is 
filed, the administrative law judge shall submit a recommended decision 
to the Under Secretary, and serve copies on the parties, recommending 
whether the issuance or the renewal of the temporary denial order should 
be affirmed, modified or vacated.
    (5) Final decision. Within five working days after receipt of the 
recommended decision, the Under Secretary shall issue a written order 
accepting, rejecting or modifying the recommended decision. Because of 
the time constraints, the Under Secretary's review will ordinarily be 
limited to the written record for decision, including the transcript of 
any hearing. The issuance or renewal of the temporary denial order shall 
be affirmed only if there is reason to believe that the temporary denial 
order is required in the public interest to prevent an imminent 
violation of the EAA, the EAR, or any order, license or other 
authorization issued under the EAA.
    (f) Delivery. A copy of any temporary denial order issued or renewed 
and any final decision on appeal shall be published in the Federal 
Register and shall be delivered to BIS and to the respondent, or any 
agent designated for this purpose, and to any related person in the same 
manner as provided in Sec.766.5 of this part for filing for papers 
other than a charging letter.

Sec.766.25  Administrative action denying export privileges.

    (a) General. The Director of the Office of Export Enforcement (OEE), 
in consultation with the Director of the Office of Exporter Services, 
may deny the export privileges of any person who has been convicted of a 
violation of any of the statutes set forth at 50 U.S.C. 4819(e)(1)(B), 
including any regulation, license, or order issued pursuant to such 
statutes.
    (b) Procedure. Upon notification that a person has been convicted of 
a violation of one or more of the provisions

[[Page 841]]

specified in paragraph (a) of this section, the Director of OEE, in 
consultation with the Director of the Office of Exporter Services, will 
determine whether to deny such person export privileges, including but 
not limited to applying for, obtaining, or using any license, License 
Exception, or export control document; or participating in or 
benefitting in any way from any export or export-related transaction 
subject to the EAR. Before taking action to deny a person export 
privileges under this section, the Director of OEE will provide the 
person written notice of the proposed action and an opportunity to 
comment through a written submission, unless exceptional circumstances 
exist. In reviewing the response, the Director of OEE will consider any 
relevant or mitigating evidence why these privileges should not be 
denied. Upon final determination, the Director of OEE will notify by 
letter each person denied export privileges under this section.
    (c) Criteria. In determining whether and for how long to deny U.S. 
export privileges to a person previously convicted of one or more of the 
statutes set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, the Director of OEE 
may take into consideration any relevant information, including, but not 
limited to, the seriousness of the offense involved in the criminal 
prosecution, the nature and duration of the criminal sanctions imposed, 
and whether the person has undertaken any corrective measures.
    (d) Duration. Any denial of export privileges under this section 
shall not exceed 10 years from the date of the conviction of the person 
who is subject to the denial.
    (e) Effect. Any person denied export privileges under this section 
will be considered a ``person denied export privileges'' for purposes of 
Sec.736.2(b)(4) (General Prohibition 4--Engage in actions prohibited 
by a denial order) and Sec.764.2(k) of the EAR.
    (f) Publication. The orders denying export privileges under this 
section are published in the Federal Register when issued, and, for the 
convenience of the public, information about those orders may be 
included in compilations maintained by BIS on a Web site and as a 
supplement to the unofficial edition of the EAR available by 
subscription from the Government Printing Office.
    (g) Appeal. An appeal of an action under this section will be 
pursuant to part 756 of the EAR.
    (h) Applicability to related person. The Director of OEE, in 
consultation with the Director of the Office of Exporter Services, may 
take action in accordance with Sec.766.23 of this part to make 
applicable to related persons an order that is being sought or that has 
been issued under this section.

  Sec. Supplement No. 1 to Part 766--Guidance on Charging and Penalty 
    Determinations in Settlement of Administrative Enforcement Cases

                              Introduction

    This Supplement describes how the Office of Export Enforcement (OEE) 
at the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) responds to apparent 
violations of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and, 
specifically, how OEE makes penalty determinations in the settlement of 
civil administrative enforcement cases under part 764 of the EAR. This 
guidance does not apply to enforcement cases for violations under part 
760 of the EAR--Restrictive Trade Practices or Boycotts. Supplement No. 
2 to part 766 continues to apply to civil administrative enforcement 
cases involving part 760 violations.
    Because many administrative enforcement cases are resolved through 
settlement, the process of settling such cases is integral to the 
enforcement program. OEE carefully considers each settlement offer in 
light of the facts and circumstances of the case, relevant precedent, 
and OEE's objective to achieve in each case an appropriate penalty and 
deterrent effect. In settlement negotiations, OEE encourages parties to 
provide, and will give serious consideration to, information and 
evidence that parties believe are relevant to the application of this 
guidance to their cases, to whether a violation has in fact occurred, or 
to whether they have an affirmative defense to potential charges.
    This guidance does not confer any right or impose any obligation 
regarding what penalties OEE may seek in litigating a case or what 
posture OEE may take toward settling a case. Parties do not have a right 
to a settlement offer or particular settlement terms from OEE, 
regardless of settlement positions OEE has taken in other cases.

                             I. Definitions

    Note: See also: Definitions contained in Sec.766.2 of the EAR.

    Apparent violation means conduct that constitutes an actual or 
possible violation of the Export Administration Act of 1979, the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the EAR, other statutes 
administered or enforced by BIS, as well as executive orders, 
regulations, orders, directives, or licenses issued pursuant thereto.
    Applicable schedule amount means:
    1. $1,000 with respect to a transaction valued at less than $1,000;
    2. $10,000 with respect to a transaction valued at $1,000 or more 
but less than $10,000;
    3. $25,000 with respect to a transaction valued at $10,000 or more 
but less than $25,000;
    4. $50,000 with respect to a transaction valued at $25,000 or more 
but less than $50,000;
    5. $100,000 with respect to a transaction valued at $50,000 or more 
but less than $100,000;
    6. $170,000 with respect to a transaction valued at $100,000 or more 
but less than $170,000;
    7. $250,000 with respect to a transaction valued at $170,000 or 
more.
    Note to definition of applicable schedule amount. The applicable 
schedule amount may be adjusted in accordance with U.S. law, e.g., the 
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 
2015 (Pub. L. 114-74, sec. 701).
    Transaction value means the U.S. dollar value of a subject 
transaction, as demonstrated by commercial invoices, bills of lading, 
signed Customs declarations, AES filings or similar documents. Where the 
transaction value is not otherwise ascertainable, OEE may consider the 
market value of the items that were the subject of the transaction and/
or the economic benefit derived by the Respondent from the transaction, 
in determining transaction value. In situations involving a lease of 
U.S.-origin items, the transaction value will generally be the value of 
the lease. For purposes of these Guidelines, ``transaction value'' will 
not necessarily have the same meaning, nor be applied in the same 
manner, as that term is used for import valuation purposes at 19 CFR 
152.103.
    Voluntary self-disclosure means the self-initiated notification to 
OEE of an apparent violation as described in and satisfying the 
requirements of Sec.764.5 of the EAR.

              II. Types of Responses to Apparent Violations

    OEE, among other responsibilities, investigates apparent violations 
of the EAR, or any order, license or authorization issued thereunder. 
When it appears that such a violation may have occurred, OEE 
investigations may lead to no action, a warning letter or an 
administrative enforcement proceeding. A violation may also be referred 
to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. The type of 
enforcement action initiated by OEE will depend primarily on the nature 
of the violation. Depending on the facts and circumstances of a 
particular case, an OEE investigation may lead to one or more of the 
following actions:
    A. No Action. If OEE determines that there is insufficient evidence 
to conclude that a violation has occurred, determines that a violation 
did not occur and/or, based on an analysis of the Factors outlined in 
Section III of these Guidelines, concludes that the conduct does not 
rise to a level warranting an administrative response, then no action 
will be taken. In such circumstances, if the investigation was initiated 
by a voluntary self-disclosure (VSD), OEE will issue a letter (a no-
action letter) indicating that the investigation is being closed with no 
administrative action being taken. OEE may issue a no-action letter in 
non-voluntarily disclosed cases at its discretion. A no-action 
determination by OEE represents OEE's disposition of the apparent 
violation, unless OEE later learns of additional information regarding 
the same or similar transactions or other relevant facts. A no-action 
letter is not a final agency action with respect to whether a violation 
occurred.
    B. Warning Letter. If OEE determines that a violation may have 
occurred but a civil penalty is not warranted under the circumstances, 
and believes that the underlying conduct could lead to a violation in 
other circumstances and/or that a Respondent does not appear to be 
exercising due diligence in assuring compliance with the statutes, 
executive orders, and regulations that OEE enforces, OEE may issue a 
warning letter. A warning letter may convey OEE's concerns about the 
underlying conduct and/or the Respondent's compliance policies, 
practices, and/or procedures. It may also address an apparent violation 
of a technical nature, where good faith efforts to comply with the law 
and cooperate with the investigation are present, or where the 
investigation commenced as a result of a voluntary self-disclosure 
satisfying the requirements of Sec.764.5 of the EAR, provided that no 
aggravating factors exist. In the exercise of its discretion, OEE may 
determine in certain instances that issuing a warning letter, instead of 
bringing an administrative enforcement proceeding, will achieve the 
appropriate enforcement result. A warning letter will describe the 
apparent violation and urge compliance. A warning letter represents 
OEE's enforcement response to and disposition of the apparent violation, 
unless OEE later learns of additional information concerning the same or 
similar apparent violations. A warning letter does not constitute a 
final agency action

[[Page 843]]

with respect to whether a violation has occurred.
    C. Administrative enforcement case. If OEE determines that a 
violation has occurred and, based on an analysis of the Factors outlined 
in Section III of these Guidelines, concludes that the Respondent's 
conduct warrants a civil monetary penalty or other administrative 
sanctions, OEE may initiate an administrative enforcement case. The 
issuance of a charging letter under Sec.766.3 of the EAR initiates an 
administrative enforcement proceeding. Charging letters may be issued 
when there is reason to believe that a violation has occurred. Cases may 
be settled before or after the issuance of a charging letter. See Sec.
766.18 of the EAR. OEE may prepare a proposed charging letter which 
could result in a case being settled before issuance of an actual 
charging letter. See Sec.766.18(a) of the EAR. If a case does not 
settle before issuance of a charging letter and the case proceeds to 
adjudication, the resulting charging letter may include more violations 
than alleged in the proposed charging letter, and the civil monetary 
penalty amounts assessed may be greater that those provided for in 
Section IV of these Guidelines. Civil monetary penalty amounts for cases 
settled before the issuance of a charging letter will be determined as 
discussed in Section IV of these Guidelines. A civil monetary penalty 
may be assessed for each violation. The maximum amount of such a penalty 
per violation is stated in Sec.764.3(a)(1), subject to adjustments 
under the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (28 
U.S.C. 2461), which are codified at 15 CFR 6.4. OEE will afford the 
Respondent an opportunity to respond to a proposed charging letter. 
Responses to charging letters following the institution of an 
enforcement proceeding under part 766 of the EAR are governed by Sec.
766.3 of the EAR.
    D. Civil Monetary Penalty. OEE may seek a civil monetary penalty if 
OEE determines that a violation has occurred and, based on the Factors 
outlined in Section III of these Guidelines, concludes that the 
Respondent's conduct warrants a monetary penalty. Section IV of these 
Guidelines will guide the agency's exercise of its discretion in 
determining civil monetary penalty amounts.
    E. Criminal Referral. In appropriate circumstances, OEE may refer 
the matter to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution. 
Apparent violations referred for criminal prosecution also may be 
subject to a civil monetary penalty and/or other administrative 
sanctions or action by BIS.
    F. Other Administrative Sanctions or Actions. In addition to or in 
lieu of other administrative actions, OEE may seek sanctions listed in 
Sec.764.3 of the EAR. BIS may also take the following administrative 
actions, among other actions, in response to an apparent violation:
    License Revision, Suspension or Revocation. BIS authorizations to 
engage in a transaction pursuant to a license or license exception may 
be revised, suspended or revoked in response to an apparent violation as 
provided in Sec. Sec.740.2(b) and 750.8 of the EAR.
    Denial of Export Privileges. An order denying a Respondent's export 
privileges may be issued, as described in Sec.764.3(a)(2) of the EAR. 
Such a denial may extend to all export privileges, as set out in the 
standard terms for denial orders in Supplement No. 1 to part 764 of the 
EAR, or may be narrower in scope (e.g., limited to exports of specified 
items or to specified destinations or customers). A denial order may 
also be suspended in whole or in part in accordance with Sec.
766.18(c).
    Exclusion from practice. Under Sec.764.3(a)(3) of the EAR, any 
person acting as an attorney, accountant, consultant, freight forwarder 
or other person who acts in a representative capacity in any matter 
before BIS may be excluded from practicing before BIS.
    Training and Audit Requirements. In appropriate cases, OEE may 
require as part of a settlement agreement that the Respondent provide 
training to employees as part of its compliance program, adopt other 
compliance measures, and/or be subject to internal or independent audits 
by a qualified outside person. In those cases, OEE may suspend or defer 
a portion or all of the penalty amount if the suspended amount is 
applied to comply with such requirements.
    G. Suspension or Deferral. In appropriate cases, payment of a civil 
monetary penalty may be suspended or deferred during a probationary 
period under a settlement agreement and order. If the terms of the 
settlement agreement or order are not adhered to by the Respondent, then 
suspension or deferral may be revoked and the full amount of the penalty 
imposed. See Sec.764.3(a)(1)(iii) of the EAR. In determining whether 
suspension or deferral is appropriate, OEE may consider, for example, 
whether the Respondent has demonstrated a limited ability to pay a 
penalty that would be appropriate for such violations, so that suspended 
or deferred payment can be expected to have sufficient deterrent value, 
and whether, in light of all of the circumstances, such suspension or 
deferral is necessary to make the financial impact of the penalty 
consistent with the impact of penalties on other parties who committed 
similar violations. OEE may also take into account when determining 
whether or not to suspend or defer a civil penalty whether the 
Respondent will apply a portion or all of the funds suspended or 
deferred to audit, compliance, or training that may be required under a 
settlement agreement and order, or the matter is part of a ``global 
settlement'' as discussed in more detail below.

[[Page 844]]

             III. Factors Affecting Administrative Sanctions

    Many apparent violations are isolated occurrences, the result of a 
good-faith misinterpretation, or involve no more than simple negligence 
or carelessness. In such instances, absent the presence of aggravating 
factors, the matter frequently may be addressed with a no action 
determination letter or, if deemed necessary, a warning letter. Where 
the imposition of an administrative penalty is deemed appropriate, as a 
general matter, OEE will consider some or all of the following Factors 
in determining the appropriate sanctions in administrative cases, 
including the appropriate amount of a civil monetary penalty where such 
a penalty is sought and is imposed as part of a settlement agreement and 
order. These factors describe circumstances that, in OEE's experience, 
are commonly relevant to penalty determinations in settled cases. 
Factors that are considered exclusively aggravating, such as 
willfulness, or exclusively mitigating, such as situations where 
remedial measures were taken, are set forth below. This guidance also 
identifies General Factors--which can be either mitigating or 
aggravating--such as the presence or absence of an internal compliance 
program at the time the apparent violations occurred. Other relevant 
Factors may also be considered at the agency's discretion.
    While some violations of the EAR have a degree of knowledge or 
intent as an element of the offense, OEE may regard a violation of any 
provision of the EAR as knowing or willful if the facts and 
circumstances of the case support that conclusion. For example, evidence 
that a corporate entity had knowledge at a senior management level may 
mean that a higher penalty may be appropriate. OEE will also consider, 
in accordance with Supplement No. 3 to part 732 of the EAR, the presence 
of any red flags that should have alerted the Respondent that a 
violation was likely to occur. The aggravating factors identified in the 
Guidelines do not alter or amend Sec.764.2(e) or the definition of 
``knowledge'' in Sec.772.1, or other provisions of parts 764 and 772 
of the EAR. If the violations are of such a nature and extent that a 
monetary fine alone represents an insufficient penalty, a denial or 
exclusion order may also be imposed to prevent future violations of the 
EAR.

                           Aggravating Factors

    A. Willful or Reckless Violation of Law. OEE will consider a 
Respondent's apparent willfulness or recklessness in violating, 
attempting to violate, conspiring to violate, or causing a violation of 
the law. Generally, to the extent the conduct at issue appears to be the 
result of willful conduct--a deliberate intent to violate, attempt to 
violate, conspire to violate, or cause a violation of the law--the OEE 
enforcement response will be stronger. Among the factors OEE may 
consider in evaluating apparent willfulness or recklessness are:
    1. Willfulness. Was the conduct at issue the result of a decision to 
take action with the knowledge that such action would constitute a 
violation of U.S. law? Did the Respondent know that the underlying 
conduct constituted, or likely constituted, a violation of U.S. law at 
the time of the conduct?
    2. Recklessness/gross negligence. Did the Respondent demonstrate 
reckless disregard or gross negligence with respect to compliance with 
U.S. regulatory requirements or otherwise fail to exercise a minimal 
degree of caution or care in avoiding conduct that led to the apparent 
violation? Were there warning signs that should have alerted the 
Respondent that an action or failure to act would lead to an apparent 
violation?
    3. Concealment. Was there a deliberate effort by the Respondent to 
hide or purposely obfuscate its conduct in order to mislead OEE, 
federal, state, or foreign regulators, or other parties involved in the 
conduct, about an apparent violation?

    Note: Failure to voluntarily disclose an apparent violation to OEE 
does not constitute concealment.

    4. Pattern of Conduct. Did the apparent violation constitute or 
result from a pattern or practice of conduct or was it relatively 
isolated and atypical in nature? In determining both whether to bring 
charges and, once charges are brought, whether to treat the case as 
egregious, OEE will be mindful of certain situations where multiple 
recurring violations resulted from a single inadvertent error, such as 
misclassification. However, for cases that settle before filing of a 
charging letter with an Administrative Law Judge, OEE will generally 
charge only the most serious violation per transaction. If OEE issues a 
proposed charging letter and subsequently files a charging letter with 
an Administrative Law Judge because a mutually agreeable settlement 
cannot be reached, OEE will continue to reserve its authority to proceed 
with all available charges in the charging letter based on the facts 
presented. When determining a penalty, each violation is potentially 
chargeable.
    5. Prior Notice. Was the Respondent on notice, or should it 
reasonably have been on notice, that the conduct at issue, or similar 
conduct, constituted a violation of U.S. law?
    6. Management Involvement. In cases of entities, at what level 
within the organization did the willful or reckless conduct occur? Were 
supervisory or managerial level staff aware, or should they reasonably 
have been aware, of the willful or reckless conduct?
    B. Awareness of Conduct at Issue:The Respondent's awareness of the 
conduct giving rise

[[Page 845]]

to the apparent violation. Generally, the greater a Respondent's actual 
knowledge of, or reason to know about, the conduct constituting an 
apparent violation, the stronger the OEE enforcement response will be. 
In the case of a corporation, awareness will focus on supervisory or 
managerial level staff in the business unit at issue, as well as other 
senior officers and managers. Among the factors OEE may consider in 
evaluating the Respondent's awareness of the conduct at issue are:
    1. Actual Knowledge. Did the Respondent have actual knowledge that 
the conduct giving rise to an apparent violation took place, and remain 
willfully blind to such conduct, and fail to take remedial measures to 
address it? Was the conduct part of a business process, structure or 
arrangement that was designed or implemented with the intent to prevent 
or shield the Respondent from having such actual knowledge, or was the 
conduct part of a business process, structure or arrangement implemented 
for other legitimate reasons that consequently made it difficult or 
impossible for the Respondent to have actual knowledge?
    2. Reason to Know. If the Respondent did not have actual knowledge 
that the conduct took place, did the Respondent have reason to know, or 
should the Respondent reasonably have known, based on all readily 
available information and with the exercise of reasonable due diligence, 
that the conduct would or might take place?
    3. Management Involvement. In the case of an entity, was the conduct 
undertaken with the explicit or implicit knowledge of senior management, 
or was the conduct undertaken by personnel outside the knowledge of 
senior management? If the apparent violation was undertaken without the 
knowledge of senior management, was there oversight intended to detect 
and prevent violations, or did the lack of knowledge by senior 
management result from disregard for its responsibility to comply with 
applicable regulations and laws?
    C. Harm to Regulatory Program Objectives: The actual or potential 
harm to regulatory program objectives caused by the conduct giving rise 
to the apparent violation. This factor would be present where the 
conduct in question, in purpose or effect, substantially implicated 
national security, foreign policy or other essential interests protected 
by the U.S. export control system, in view of such factors as the reason 
for controlling the item to the destination in question; the sensitivity 
of the item; the prohibitions or restrictions against the recipient of 
the item; and the licensing policy concerning the transaction (such as 
presumption of approval or denial). OEE, in its discretion, may consult 
with other U.S. agencies or with licensing and enforcement authorities 
of other countries in making its determination. Among the factors OEE 
may consider in evaluating the harm to regulatory program objectives 
are:
    1. Implications for U.S. National Security: The impact that the 
apparent violation had or could potentially have on the national 
security of the United States. For example, if a particular export could 
undermine U.S. military superiority or endanger U.S. or friendly 
military forces or be used in a military application contrary to U.S. 
interests, OEE would consider the implications of the apparent violation 
to be significant.
    2. Implications for U.S. Foreign Policy: The effect that the 
apparent violation had or could potentially have on U.S. foreign policy 
objectives. For example, if a particular export is, or is likely to be, 
used by a foreign regime to monitor communications of its population in 
order to suppress free speech and persecute dissidents, OEE would 
consider the implications of the apparent violation to be significant.

                             General Factors

    D. Individual Characteristics: The particular circumstances and 
characteristics of a Respondent. Among the factors OEE may consider in 
evaluating individual characteristics are:
    1. Commercial Sophistication: The commercial sophistication and 
experience of the Respondent. Is the Respondent an individual or an 
entity? If an individual, was the conduct constituting the apparent 
violation for personal or business reasons?
    2. Size and Sophistication of Operations: The size of a Respondent's 
business operations, where such information is available and relevant. 
At the time of the violation, did the Respondent have any previous 
export experience and was the Respondent familiar with export practices 
and requirements? Qualification of the Respondent as a small business or 
organization for the purposes of the Small Business Regulatory 
Enforcement Fairness Act, as determined by reference to the applicable 
standards of the Small Business Administration, may also be considered.
    3. Volume and Value of Transactions: The total volume and value of 
transactions undertaken by the Respondent on an annual basis, with 
attention given to the volume and value of the apparent violations as 
compared with the total volume and value of all transactions. Was the 
quantity and/or value of the exports high, such that a greater penalty 
may be necessary to serve as an adequate penalty for the violation or 
deterrence of future violations, or to make the penalty proportionate to 
those for otherwise comparable violations involving exports of lower 
quantity or value?
    4. Regulatory History: The Respondent's regulatory history, 
including OEE's issuance of prior penalties, warning letters, or other 
administrative actions (including settlements), other than with respect 
to antiboycott matters under part 760 of the EAR. OEE will generally 
only

[[Page 846]]

consider a Respondent's regulatory history for the five years preceding 
the date of the transaction giving rise to the apparent violation. When 
an acquiring firm takes reasonable steps to uncover, correct, and 
voluntarily disclose or cause the voluntary self-disclosure to OEE of 
conduct that gave rise to violations by an acquired business before the 
acquisition, OEE typically will not take such violations into account in 
applying these factors in settling other violations by the acquiring 
firm.
    5. Other illegal conduct in connection with the export. Was the 
transaction in support of other illegal conduct, for example the export 
of firearms as part of a drug smuggling operation, or illegal exports in 
support of money laundering?
    6. Criminal Convictions. Has the Respondent been convicted of an 
export-related criminal violation?

    Note: Where necessary to effective enforcement, the prior 
involvement in export violation(s) of a Respondent's owners, directors, 
officers, partners, or other related persons may be imputed to a 
Respondent in determining whether these criteria are satisfied.

    E. Compliance Program: The existence, nature and adequacy of a 
Respondent's risk-based BIS compliance program at the time of the 
apparent violation. OEE will take account of the extent to which a 
Respondent complies with the principles set forth in BIS's Export 
Management System (EMS) Guidelines. Information about the EMS Guidelines 
can be accessed through the BIS Web site at www.bis.doc.gov. In this 
context, OEE will also consider whether a Respondent's export compliance 
program uncovered a problem, thereby preventing further violations, and 
whether the Respondent has taken steps to address compliance concerns 
raised by the violation, to include the submission of a VSD and steps to 
prevent reoccurrence of the violation that are reasonably calculated to 
be effective.

                           Mitigating Factors

    F. Remedial Response: The Respondent's corrective action taken in 
response to the apparent violation. Among the factors OEE may consider 
in evaluating the remedial response are:
    1. The steps taken by the Respondent upon learning of the apparent 
violation. Did the Respondent immediately stop the conduct at issue? Did 
the Respondent undertake to file a VSD?
    2. In the case of an entity, the processes followed to resolve 
issues related to the apparent violation. Did the Respondent discover 
necessary information to ascertain the causes and extent of the apparent 
violation, fully and expeditiously? Was senior management fully 
informed? If so, when?
    3. In the case of an entity, whether it adopted new and more 
effective internal controls and procedures to prevent the occurrence of 
similar apparent violations. If the entity did not have a BIS compliance 
program in place at the time of the apparent violation, did it implement 
one upon discovery of the apparent violation? If it did have a BIS 
compliance program, did it take appropriate steps to enhance the program 
to prevent the recurrence of similar violations? Did the entity provide 
the individual(s) and/or managers responsible for the apparent violation 
with additional training, and/or take other appropriate action, to 
ensure that similar violations do not occur in the future?
    4. Where applicable, whether the Respondent undertook a thorough 
review to identify other possible violations.
    G. Exceptional Cooperation with OEE: The nature and extent of the 
Respondent's cooperation with OEE, beyond those actions set forth in 
Factor F. Among the factors OEE may consider in evaluating exceptional 
cooperation are:
    1. Did the Respondent provide OEE with all relevant information 
regarding the apparent violation at issue in a timely, comprehensive and 
responsive manner (whether or not voluntarily self-disclosed), 
including, if applicable, overseas records?
    2. Did the Respondent research and disclose to OEE relevant 
information regarding any other apparent violations caused by the same 
course of conduct?
    3. Did the Respondent provide substantial assistance in another OEE 
investigation of another person who may have violated the EAR?
    4. Has the Respondent previously made substantial voluntary efforts 
to provide information (such as providing tips that led to enforcement 
actions against other parties) to federal law enforcement authorities in 
support of the enforcement of U.S. export control regulations?
    5. Did the Respondent enter into a statute of limitations tolling 
agreement, if requested by OEE (particularly in situations where the 
apparent violations were not immediately disclosed or discovered by OEE, 
in particularly complex cases, and in cases in which the Respondent has 
requested and received additional time to respond to a request for 
information from OEE)? If so, the Respondent's entering into a tolling 
agreement will be deemed a mitigating factor.

    Note: A Respondent's refusal to enter into a tolling agreement will 
not be considered by OEE as an aggravating factor in assessing a 
Respondent's cooperation or otherwise under the Guidelines.

    H. License Was Likely To Be Approved. Would an export license 
application have likely been approved for the transaction had one been 
sought? Would the export have

[[Page 847]]

qualified for a License Exception? Some license requirements sections in 
the EAR also set forth a licensing policy (i.e., a statement of the 
policy under which license applications will be evaluated), such as a 
general presumption of denial or case by case review. OEE may also 
consider the licensing history of the specific item to that destination 
and if the item or end-user has a history of export denials.

        Other Relevant Factors Considered on a Case-by-Case Basis

    I. Related Violations. Frequently, a single export transaction can 
give rise to multiple violations. For example, an exporter who 
inadvertently misclassifies an item on the Commerce Control List may, as 
a result of that error, export the item without the required export 
license and file Electronic Export Information (EEI) to the Automated 
Export System (AES) that both misstates the applicable Export Control 
Classification Number (ECCN) and erroneously identifies the export as 
qualifying for the designation ``NLR'' (no license required) or cites a 
license exception that is not applicable. In so doing, the exporter 
commits three violations: one violation of Sec.764.2(a) of the EAR for 
the unauthorized export and two violations of Sec.764.2(g) of the EAR 
for the two false statements on the EEI filing to the AES. OEE will 
consider whether the violations stemmed from the same underlying error 
or omission, and whether they resulted in distinguished or separate 
harm. OEE generally does not charge multiple violations on a single 
export, and would not consider the existence of such multiple violations 
as an aggravating factor in and of itself. It is within OEE's discretion 
to charge separate violations and settle the case for a penalty that is 
less than would be appropriate for unrelated violations under otherwise 
similar circumstances, or to charge fewer violations and pursue 
settlement in accordance with that charging decision. OEE generally will 
consider inadvertent, compounded clerical errors as related and not 
separate infractions when deciding whether to bring charges and in 
determining if a case is egregious.
    J. Multiple Unrelated Violations. In cases involving multiple 
unrelated violations, OEE is more likely to seek a denial of export 
privileges and/or a greater monetary penalty than OEE would otherwise 
typically seek. For example, repeated unauthorized exports could warrant 
a denial order, even if a single export of the same item to the same 
destination under similar circumstances might warrant just a civil 
monetary penalty. OEE takes this approach because multiple violations 
may indicate serious compliance problems and a resulting greater risk of 
future violations. OEE may consider whether a Respondent has taken 
effective steps to address compliance concerns in determining whether 
multiple violations warrant a denial order in a particular case.
    K. Other Enforcement Action. Other enforcement actions taken by 
federal, state, or local agencies against a Respondent for the apparent 
violation or similar apparent violations, including whether the 
settlement of alleged violations of BIS regulations is part of a 
comprehensive settlement with other federal, state, or local agencies. 
Where an administrative enforcement matter under the EAR involves 
conduct giving rise to related criminal or civil charges, OEE may take 
into account the related violations, and their resolution, in 
determining what administrative sanctions are appropriate under part 766 
of the EAR. A criminal conviction indicates serious, willful misconduct 
and an accordingly high risk of future violations, absent effective 
administrative sanctions. However, entry of a guilty plea can be a sign 
that a Respondent accepts responsibility for complying with the EAR and 
will take greater care to do so in the future. In appropriate cases 
where a Respondent is receiving substantial criminal penalties, OEE may 
find that sufficient deterrence may be achieved by lesser administrative 
sanctions than would be appropriate in the absence of criminal 
penalties. Conversely, OEE might seek greater administrative sanctions 
in an otherwise similar case where a Respondent is not subjected to 
criminal penalties. The presence of a related criminal or civil 
disposition may distinguish settlements among civil penalty cases that 
appear otherwise to be similar. As a result, the factors set forth for 
consideration in civil penalty settlements will often be applied 
differently in the context of a ``global settlement'' of both civil and 
criminal cases, or multiple civil cases, and may therefore be of limited 
utility as precedent for future cases, particularly those not involving 
a global settlement.
    L. Future Compliance/Deterrence Effect: The impact an administrative 
enforcement action may have on promoting future compliance with the 
regulations by a Respondent and similar parties, particularly those in 
the same industry sector.
    M. Other Factors That OEE Deems Relevant. On a case-by-case basis, 
in determining the appropriate enforcement response and/or the amount of 
any civil monetary penalty, OEE will consider the totality of the 
circumstances to ensure that its enforcement response is proportionate 
to the nature of the violation.

[[Page 848]]

                           IV. Civil Penalties

     A. Determining What Sanctions Are Appropriate in a Settlement.

    OEE will review the facts and circumstances surrounding an apparent 
violation and apply the Factors Affecting Administrative Sanctions in 
Section III above in determining the appropriate sanction or sanctions 
in an administrative case, including the appropriate amount of a civil 
monetary penalty where such a penalty is sought and imposed. Penalties 
for settlements reached after the initiation of litigation will usually 
be higher than those described by these guidelines.

                       B. Amount of Civil Penalty.

    1. Determining Whether a Case is Egregious. In those cases in which 
a civil monetary penalty is considered appropriate, OEE will make a 
determination as to whether a case is deemed ``egregious'' for purposes 
of the base penalty calculation. If a case is determined to be 
egregious, OEE also will also determine the appropriate base penalty 
amount within the range of base penalty amounts prescribed in paragraphs 
IV.B.2.a.iii and iv below. These determinations will be based on an 
analysis of the applicable factors. In making these determinations, 
substantial weight will generally be given to Factors A (``willful or 
reckless violation of law''), B (``awareness of conduct at issue''), C 
(``harm to regulatory program objectives''), and D (``individual 
characteristics''), with particular emphasis on Factors A, B, and C. A 
case will be considered an ``egregious case'' where the analysis of the 
applicable factors, with a focus on Factors A, B, and C, indicates that 
the case represents a particularly serious violation of the law calling 
for a strong enforcement response. A determination by OEE that a case is 
``egregious'' must have the concurrence of the Assistant Secretary of 
Commerce for Export Enforcement.
    2. Monetary Penalties in Egregious Cases and Non-Egregious Cases. 
The civil monetary penalty amount shall generally be calculated as 
follows, except that neither the base penalty amount nor the penalty 
amount will exceed the applicable statutory maximum:
    a. Base Category Calculation and Voluntary Self-Disclosures.
    i. In a non-egregious case, if the apparent violation is disclosed 
through a voluntary self-disclosure, the base penalty amount shall be 
one-half of the transaction value, capped at a maximum base penalty 
amount of $125,000 per violation.
    ii. In a non-egregious case, if the apparent violation comes to 
OEE's attention by means other than a voluntary self-disclosure, the 
base penalty amount shall be the ``applicable schedule amount,'' as 
defined above (capped at a maximum base penalty amount of $250,000 per 
violation).
    iii. In an egregious case, if the apparent violation is disclosed 
through a voluntary self-disclosure, the base penalty amount shall be an 
amount up to one-half of the statutory maximum penalty applicable to the 
violation.
    iv. In an egregious case, if the apparent violation comes to OEE's 
attention by means other than a voluntary self-disclosure, the base 
penalty amount shall be an amount up to the statutory maximum penalty 
applicable to the violation.
    The following matrix represents the base penalty amount of the civil 
monetary penalty for each category of violation:

                           Base Penalty Matrix

   Voluntary Self-Disclosure?    ---------------------------------------
                                          NO                  YES

                                   (capped at          Statutory
                                   $125,000 per        Maximum.

                                   (capped at          Statutory

                                   violation).
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Note to paragraph IV.B.2. The dollar values that appear in 
IV.B.2.a.i and .ii, and in the Base Penalty Matrix may be adjusted in 
accordance with U.S. law, e.g., the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation 
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114-74, sec. 701).
    b. Adjustment for Applicable Relevant Factors.
    In non-egregious cases the base penalty amount of the civil monetary 
penalty may be adjusted to reflect applicable Factors for Administrative 
Action set forth in Section III of these Guidelines. In egregious cases 
the base penalty amount of the civil monetary penalty will be set based 
on applicable Factors for Administrative Action set forth in Section III 
of these Guidelines. A Factor may result in a lower or higher penalty 
amount depending upon whether it is aggravating or mitigating or 
otherwise relevant to

[[Page 849]]

the circumstances at hand. Mitigating factors may be combined for a 
greater reduction in penalty, but mitigation will generally not exceed 
75 percent of the base penalty, except in the case of VSDs, where full 
suspension is possible with conditions in certain non-egregious cases. 
Subject to this limitation, as a general matter, in those cases where 
the following Mitigating Factors are present, OEE will adjust the base 
penalty amount in the following manner:
    In cases involving exceptional cooperation with OEE as set forth in 
Mitigating Factor G, but no voluntary self-disclosure as defined in 
Sec.764.5 of the EAR, the base penalty amount generally will be 
reduced between 25 and 40 percent. Exceptional cooperation in cases 
involving voluntary self-disclosure may also be considered as a further 
mitigating factor.
    In cases involving a Respondent's first violation, the base penalty 
amount generally will be reduced by up to 25 percent. An apparent 
violation generally will be considered a ``first violation'' if the 
Respondent has not been convicted of an export-related criminal 
violation or been subject to a BIS final order in five years, preceding 
the date of the transaction giving rise to the apparent violation. A 
group of substantially similar apparent violations addressed in a single 
Charging Letter shall be considered as a single violation for purposes 
of this subsection. In those cases where a prior Charging Letter within 
the preceding five years involved conduct of a substantially different 
nature from the apparent violation at issue, OEE may consider the 
apparent violation at issue a ``first violation.'' Warning Letters 
issued within the preceding five years are not factored into account for 
purposes of determining eligibility for ``first offense'' mitigation. 
When an acquiring firm takes reasonable steps to uncover, correct, and 
disclose or cause to be disclosed to OEE conduct that gave rise to 
violations by an acquired business before the acquisition, OEE typically 
will not take such violations into account as an aggravating factor in 
settling other violations by the acquiring firm.
    iii. In cases involving charges pertaining to transactions where a 
license exception would have been available or a license would likely 
have been approved had one been sought as set forth in Mitigating Factor 
H, the base penalty amount generally will be reduced by up to 25 
percent.
    In all cases, the penalty amount will not exceed the applicable 
statutory maximum. Similarly, while mitigating factors may be combined 
for a greater reduction in penalty, mitigation will generally not exceed 
75 percent of the base penalty, except in the case of VSDs, where full 
suspension is possible with conditions in certain non-egregious cases.

                        C. Settlement Procedures.

    The procedures relating to the settlement of administrative 
enforcement cases are set forth in Sec.766.18 of the EAR.

[81 FR 40506, June 22, 2016]



  Sec. Supplement No. 2 to Part 766--Guidance on Charging and Penalty 
    Determinations in Settlement of Administrative Enforcement Cases 
                      Involving Antiboycott Matters

    (a) Introduction--(1) Scope. This Supplement describes how the 
Office of Antiboycott Compliance (OAC) responds to violations of part 
760 of the EAR ``Restrictive Trade Practices or Boycotts'' and to 
violations of part 762 ``Recordkeeping'' when the recordkeeping 
requirement pertains to part 760 (together referred to in this 
supplement as the ``antiboycott provisions''). It also describes how BIS 
makes penalty determinations in the settlement of administrative 
enforcement cases brought under parts 764 and 766 of the EAR involving 
violations of the antiboycott provisions. This supplement does not apply 
to enforcement cases for violations of other provisions of the EAR.
    (2) Policy Regarding Settlement. Because many administrative 
enforcement cases are resolved through settlement, the process of 
settling such cases is integral to the enforcement program. BIS 
carefully considers each settlement offer in light of the facts and 
circumstances of the case, relevant precedent, and BIS's objective to 
achieve in each case an appropriate level of penalty and deterrent 
effect. In settlement negotiations, BIS encourages parties to provide, 
and will give serious consideration to, information and evidence that 
the parties believe is relevant to the application of this guidance to 
their cases, to whether a violation has in fact occurred, and to whether 
they have a defense to potential charges.
    (3) Limitation. BIS's policy and practice is to treat similarly 
situated cases similarly, taking into consideration that the facts and 
combination of mitigating and aggravating factors are different in each 
case. However, this guidance does not confer any right or impose any 
obligation regarding what posture or penalties BIS may seek in settling 
or litigating a case. Parties do not have a right to a settlement offer 
or particular settlement terms from BIS, regardless of settlement 
postures BIS has taken in other cases.
    (b) Responding to Violations. OAC within BIS investigates possible 
violations of Section 8 of the Export Administration Act of 1979, as 
amended (``Foreign Boycotts''), the antiboycott provisions of EAR, or 
any order or authorization related thereto. When BIS has reason to 
believe that such a violation

[[Page 850]]

has occurred, BIS may issue a warning letter or initiate an 
administrative enforcement proceeding. A violation may also be referred 
to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.
    (1) Issuing a warning letter. Warning letters represent BIS's belief 
that a violation has occurred. In the exercise of its discretion, BIS 
may determine in certain instances that issuing a warning letter, 
instead of bringing an administrative enforcement proceeding, will 
fulfill the appropriate enforcement objective. A warning letter will 
fully explain the violation.
    (i) BIS may issue warning letters where:
    (A) The investigation commenced as a result of a voluntary self-
disclosure satisfying the requirements of Sec.764.8 of the EAR; or
    (B) The party has not previously committed violations of the 
antiboycott provisions.
    (ii) BIS may also consider the category of violation as discussed in 
paragraph (d)(2) of this supplement in determining whether to issue a 
warning letter or initiate an enforcement proceeding. A violation 
covered by Category C (failure to report or late reporting of receipt of 
boycott requests) might warrant a warning letter rather than initiation 
of an enforcement proceeding.
    (iii) BIS will not issue a warning letter if it concludes, based on 
available information, that a violation did not occur.
    (iv) BIS may reopen its investigation of a matter should it receive 
additional evidence or if it appears that information previously 
provided to BIS during the course of its investigation was incorrect.
    (2) Pursuing an administrative enforcement case. The issuance of a 
charging letter under Sec.766.3 of this part initiates an 
administrative proceeding.
    (i) Charging letters may be issued when there is reason to believe 
that a violation has occurred. Cases may be settled before or after the 
issuance of a charging letter. See Sec.766.18 of this part.
    (ii) Although not required to do so by law, BIS may send a proposed 
charging letter to a party to inform the party of the violations that 
BIS has reason to believe occurred and how BIS expects that those 
violations would be charged. Issuance of the proposed charging letter 
provides an opportunity for the party and BIS to consider settlement of 
the case prior to the initiation of formal enforcement proceedings.
    (3) Referring for criminal prosecution. In appropriate cases, BIS 
may refer a case to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, 
in addition to pursuing an administrative enforcement action.
    (c) Types of administrative sanctions. Administrative enforcement 
cases generally are settled on terms that include one or more of three 
administrative sanctions:
    (1) A monetary penalty may be assessed for each violation as 
provided in Sec.764.3(a)(1) of the EAR;

    Note to paragraph (c)(1): The maximum penalty is subject to 
adjustments under the Federal Civil Penalties Adjustment Act of 1990 (28 
U.S.C. 2461, note (2000)), which are codified at 15 CFR 6.4. For 
violations that occurred before March 9, 2006, the maximum monetary 
penalty per violation is $11,000. For violations occurring on or after 
March 9, 2006, the maximum monetary penalty per violation is $50,000.

    (2) An order denying a party's export privileges under the EAR may 
be issued, under Sec.764.3(a)(2) of the EAR; or
    (3) Exclusion from practice under Sec.764.3(a)(3) of the EAR.
    (d) How BIS determines what sanctions are appropriate in a 
settlement--(1) General Factors. BIS looks to the following general 
factors in determining what administrative sanctions are appropriate in 
each settlement.
    (i) Degree of seriousness. In order to violate the antiboycott 
provisions of the EAR, a U.S. person does not need to have actual 
``knowledge'' or a reason to know, as that term is defined in Sec.
772.1 of the EAR, of relevant U.S. laws and regulations. Typically, in 
cases that do not involve knowing violations, BIS will seek a settlement 
for payment of a civil penalty (unless the matter is resolved with a 
warning letter). However, in cases involving knowing violations, 
conscious disregard of the antiboycott provisions, or other such serious 
violations (e.g., furnishing prohibited information in response to a 
boycott questionnaire with knowledge that such furnishing is in 
violation of the EAR), BIS is more likely to seek a denial of export 
privileges or an exclusion from practice, and/or a greater monetary 
penalty as BIS considers such violations particularly egregious.
    (ii) Category of violations. In connection with its activities 
described in paragraph (a)(1) of this supplement, BIS recognizes three 
categories of violations under the antiboycott provisions of the EAR. 
(See Sec.760.2, Sec.760.4 and Sec.760.5 of the EAR for examples of 
each type of violation other than recordkeeping). These categories 
reflect the relative seriousness of a violation, with Category A 
violations typically warranting the most stringent penalties, including 
up to the maximum monetary penalty, a denial order and/or an exclusion 
order. Through providing these categories in this penalty guidelines 
notice, BIS hopes to give parties a general sense of how it views the 
seriousness of various violations. This guidance, however, does not 
confer any right or impose any obligation as to what penalties BIS may 
impose based on its review of the specific facts of a case.

[[Page 851]]

    (A) The Category A violations and the sections of the EAR that set 
forth their elements are:
    (1) Discriminating against U.S. persons on the basis of race, 
religion, sex, or national origin--Sec.760.2(b);
    (2) Refusing to do business or agreeing to refuse to do business--
Sec.760.2(a);
    (3) Furnishing information about race, religion, sex, or national 
origin of U.S. persons including, but not limited to, providing 
information in connection with a boycott questionnaire about the 
religion of employees--Sec.760.2(c);
    (4) Evading the provisions of part 760--Sec.760.4;
    (5) Furnishing information about business relationships with 
boycotted countries or blacklisted persons--Sec.760.2(d); and
    (6) Implementing letters of credit--Sec.760.2(f).
    (B) The Category B violations and the sections of the EAR that set 
forth their elements are:
    (1) Furnishing information about associations with charitable or 
fraternal organizations which support a boycotted country--Sec.
760.2(e); and
    (2) Making recordkeeping violations--part 762.
    (C) The Category C violation and the section of the EAR that sets 
forth its elements is: Failing to report timely receipt of boycott 
requests--Sec.760.5.
    (iii) Violations arising out of related transactions. Frequently, a 
single transaction can give rise to multiple violations. Depending on 
the facts and circumstances, BIS may choose to impose a smaller or 
greater penalty per violation. In exercising its discretion, BIS 
typically looks to factors such as whether the violations resulted from 
conscious disregard of the requirements of the antiboycott provisions; 
whether they stemmed from the same underlying error or omission; and 
whether they resulted in distinguishable or separate harm. The three 
scenarios set forth below are illustrative of how BIS might view 
transactions that lead to multiple violations.
    (A) First scenario. An exporter enters into a sales agreement with a 
company in a boycotting country. In the course of the negotiations, the 
company sends the exporter a request for a signed statement certifying 
that the goods to be supplied do not originate in a boycotted country. 
The exporter provides the signed certification. Subsequently, the 
exporter fails to report the receipt of the request. The exporter has 
committed two violations of the antiboycott provisions, first, a 
violation of Sec.760.2(d) for furnishing information concerning the 
past or present business relationships with or in a boycotted country, 
and second, a violation of Sec.760.5 for failure to report the receipt 
of a request to engage in a restrictive trade practice or boycott. 
Although the supplier has committed two violations, BIS may impose a 
smaller mitigated penalty on a per violation basis than if the 
violations had stemmed from two separate transactions.
    (B) Second scenario. An exporter receives a boycott request to 
provide a statement that the goods at issue in a sales transaction do 
not contain raw materials from a boycotted country and to include the 
signed statement along with the invoice. The goods are shipped in ten 
separate shipments. Each shipment includes a copy of the invoice and a 
copy of the signed boycott-related statement. Each signed statement is a 
certification that has been furnished in violation of Sec.760.2(d)'s 
bar on the furnishing of prohibited business information. Technically, 
the exporter has committed ten separate violations of Sec.760.2(d) and 
one violation of Sec.760.5 for failure to report receipt of the 
boycott request. Given that the violations arose from a single boycott 
request, however, BIS may treat the violations as related and impose a 
smaller penalty than it would if the furnishing had stemmed from ten 
separate requests.
    (C) Third scenario. An exporter has an ongoing relationship with a 
company in a boycotting country. The company places three separate 
orders for goods on different dates with the exporter. In connection 
with each order, the company requests the exporter to provide a signed 
statement certifying that the goods to be supplied do not originate in a 
boycotted country. The exporter provides a signed certification with 
each order of goods that it ships to the company. BIS has the discretion 
to penalize the furnishing of each of these three items of information 
as a separate violation of Sec.760.2(d) of the EAR for furnishing 
information concerning past or present business relationships with or in 
a boycotted country.
    (iv) Multiple violations from unrelated transactions. In cases 
involving multiple unrelated violations, BIS is more likely to seek a 
denial of export privileges, an exclusion from practice, and/or a 
greater monetary penalty than in cases involving isolated incidents. For 
example, the repeated furnishing of prohibited boycott-related 
information about business relationships with or in boycotted countries 
during a long period of time could warrant a denial order, even if a 
single instance of furnishing such information might warrant only a 
monetary penalty. BIS takes this approach because multiple violations 
may indicate serious compliance problems and a resulting risk of future 
violations. BIS may consider whether a party has taken effective steps 
to address compliance concerns in determining whether multiple 
violations warrant a denial or exclusion order in a particular case.
    (v) Timing of settlement. Under Sec.766.18 of this part, 
settlement can occur before a

[[Page 852]]

charging letter is served, while a case is before an administrative law 
judge, or while a case is before the Under Secretary for Industry and 
Security under Sec.766.22 of this part. However, early settlement--for 
example, before a charging letter has been filed--has the benefit of 
freeing resources for BIS to deploy in other matters. In contrast, for 
example, the BIS resources saved by settlement on the eve of an 
adversary hearing under Sec.766.13 of this part are fewer, insofar as 
BIS has already expended significant resources on discovery, motions 
practice, and trial preparation. Given the importance of allocating BIS 
resources to maximize enforcement of the EAR, BIS has an interest in 
encouraging early settlement and will take this interest into account in 
determining settlement terms.
    (vi) Related criminal or civil violations. Where an administrative 
enforcement matter under the antiboycott provisions involves conduct 
giving rise to related criminal charges, BIS may take into account the 
related violations and their resolution in determining what 
administrative sanctions are appropriate under part 766 of the EAR. A 
criminal conviction indicates serious, willful misconduct and an 
accordingly high risk of future violations, absent effective 
administrative sanctions. However, entry of a guilty plea can be a sign 
that a party accepts responsibility for complying with the antiboycott 
provisions and will take greater care to do so in the future. In 
appropriate cases where a party is receiving substantial criminal 
penalties, BIS may find that sufficient deterrence may be achieved by 
lesser administrative sanctions than would be appropriate in the absence 
of criminal penalties. Conversely, BIS might seek greater administrative 
sanctions in an otherwise similar case where a party is not subjected to 
criminal penalties. The presence of a related criminal or civil 
disposition may distinguish settlements among civil penalty cases that 
appear to be otherwise similar. As a result, the factors set forth for 
consideration in civil penalty settlements will often be applied 
differently in the context of a ``global settlement'' of both civil and 
criminal cases, or multiple civil cases involving other agencies, and 
may therefore be of limited utility as precedent for future cases, 
particularly those not involving a global settlement.
    (vii) Familiarity with the Antiboycott Provisions. Given the scope 
and detailed nature of the antiboycott provisions, BIS will consider 
whether a party is an experienced participant in the international 
business arena who may possess (or ought to possess) familiarity with 
the antiboycott laws. In this respect, the size of the party's business, 
the presence or absence of a legal division or corporate compliance 
program, and the extent of prior involvement in business with or in 
boycotted or boycotting countries, may be significant.
    (2) Specific mitigating and aggravating factors. In addition to the 
general factors described in paragraph (d)(1) of this supplement, BIS 
also generally looks to the presence or absence of the specific 
mitigating and aggravating factors in this paragraph in determining what 
sanctions should apply in a given settlement. These factors describe 
circumstances that, in BIS's experience, are commonly relevant to 
penalty determinations in settled cases. However, this listing of 
factors is not exhaustive and BIS may consider other factors that may 
further indicate the blameworthiness of a party's conduct, the actual or 
potential harm associated with a violation, the likelihood of future 
violations, and/or other considerations relevant to determining what 
sanctions are appropriate. The assignment of mitigating or aggravating 
factors will depend upon the attendant circumstances of the party's 
conduct. Thus, for example, one prior violation should be given less 
weight than a history of multiple violations, and a previous violation 
reported in a voluntary self-disclosure by a party whose overall 
compliance efforts are of high quality should be given less weight than 
previous violation(s) not involving such mitigating factors. Some of the 
mitigating factors listed in this paragraph are designated as having 
``great weight.'' When present, such a factor should ordinarily be given 
considerably more weight than a factor that is not so designated.
    (i) Specific mitigating factors.
    (A) Voluntary self-disclosure. (GREAT WEIGHT) The party has made a 
voluntary self-disclosure of the violation, satisfying the requirements 
of Sec.764.8 of the EAR.
    (B) Effective compliance program. (GREAT WEIGHT)
    (1) General policy or program pertaining to Antiboycott Provisions. 
BIS will consider whether a party's compliance efforts uncovered a 
problem, thereby preventing further violations, and whether the party 
has taken steps to address compliance concerns raised by the violation, 
including steps to prevent recurrence of the violation, that are 
reasonably calculated to be effective. The focus is on the party's 
demonstrated compliance with the antiboycott provisions. Whether a party 
has an effective export compliance program covering other provisions of 
the EAR is not relevant as a mitigating factor. In the case of a party 
that has done previous business with or in boycotted countries or 
boycotting countries, BIS will examine whether the party has an 
effective antiboycott compliance program and whether its overall 
antiboycott compliance efforts have been of high quality. BIS may deem 
it appropriate to review the party's internal business documents 
relating to antiboycott

[[Page 853]]

compliance (e.g., corporate compliance manuals, employee training 
materials).
    (2) Compliance with reporting and recordkeeping requirements. In the 
case of a party that has received reportable boycott requests in the 
past, BIS may examine whether the party complied with the reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements of the antiboycott provisions.
    (C) Limited business with or in boycotted or boycotting countries. 
The party has had little to no previous experience in conducting 
business with or in boycotted or boycotting countries. Prior to the 
current enforcement proceeding, the party had not engaged in business 
with or in such countries, or had only transacted such business on 
isolated occasions. BIS may examine the volume of business that the 
party has conducted with or in boycotted or boycotting countries as 
demonstrated by the size and dollar amount of transactions or the 
percentage of a party's overall business that such business constitutes.
    (D) History of compliance with the Antiboycott Provisions of the 
EAR.
    (1) BIS will consider it to be a mitigating factor if:
    (i) The party has never been convicted of a criminal violation of 
the antiboycott provisions;
    (ii) In the past 5 years, the party has not entered into a 
settlement or been found liable in a boycott-related administrative 
enforcement case with BIS or another U.S. government agency;
    (iii) In the past 3 years, the party has not received a warning 
letter from BIS relating to the antiboycott provisions; or
    (iv) In the past 5 years, the party has not otherwise violated the 
antiboycott provisions.
    (2) Where necessary to ensure effective enforcement, the prior 
involvement in violations of the antiboycott provisions of a party's 
owners, directors, officers, partners, or other related persons may be 
imputed to a party in determining whether these criteria are satisfied. 
When an acquiring firm takes reasonable steps to uncover, correct, and 
disclose to BIS conduct that gave rise to violations that the acquired 
business committed before the acquisition, BIS typically will not take 
such violations into account in applying this factor in settling other 
violations by the acquiring firm.
    (E) Exceptional cooperation with the investigation. The party has 
provided exceptional cooperation to OAC during the course of the 
investigation.
    (F) Clarity of request to furnish prohibited information or take 
prohibited action. The party responded to a request to furnish 
information or take action that was ambiguously worded or vague.
    (G) Violations arising out of a party's ``passive'' refusal to do 
business in connection with an agreement. The party has acquiesced in or 
abided by terms or conditions that constitute a prohibited refusal to do 
business (e.g., responded to a tender document that contains prohibited 
language by sending a bid). See ``active'' agreements to refuse to do 
business in paragraph (d)(2)(ii)(I) of this supplement.
    (H) Isolated occurrence of violation. The violation was an isolated 
occurrence. (Compare to long duration or high frequency of violations as 
an aggravating factor in paragraph (d)(2)(ii)(F) of this supplement.)
    (ii) Specific Aggravating Factors.
    (A) Concealment or obstruction. The party made a deliberate effort 
to hide or conceal the violation. (GREAT WEIGHT)
    (B) Serious disregard for compliance responsibilities. (GREAT 
WEIGHT] There is evidence that the party's conduct demonstrated a 
serious disregard for responsibilities associated with compliance with 
the antiboycott provisions (e.g.: knowing violation of party's own 
compliance policy or evidence that a party chose to treat potential 
penalties as a cost of doing business rather than develop a compliance 
policy).
    (C) History of compliance with the Antiboycott Provisions.
    (1) BIS will consider it to be an aggravating factor if:
    (i) The party has been convicted of a criminal violation of the 
antiboycott provisions;
    (ii) In the past 5 years, the party has entered into a settlement or 
been found liable in a boycott-related administrative enforcement case 
with BIS or another U.S. government agency;
    (iii) In the past 3 years, the party has received a warning letter 
from BIS relating to the antiboycott provisions; or
    (iv) In the past 5 years, the party has otherwise violated the 
antiboycott provisions.
    (2) Where necessary to ensure effective enforcement, the prior 
involvement in violations of the antiboycott provisions of a party's 
owners, directors, officers, partners, or other related persons may be 
imputed to a party in determining whether these criteria are satisfied.
    (3) When an acquiring firm takes reasonable steps to uncover, 
correct, and disclose to BIS conduct that gave rise to violations that 
the acquired firm committed before being acquired, BIS typically will 
not take such violations into account in applying this factor in 
settling other violations by the acquiring firm.
    (D) Familiarity with the type of transaction at issue in the 
violation. For example, in the case of a violation involving a letter of 
credit or related financial document, the party routinely pays, 
negotiates, confirms, or otherwise implements letters of credit or 
related financial documents in the course of its standard business 
practices.

[[Page 854]]

    (E) Prior history of business with or in boycotted countries or 
boycotting countries. The party has a prior history of conducting 
business with or in boycotted and boycotting countries. BIS may examine 
the volume of business that the party has conducted with or in boycotted 
and boycotting countries as reflected by the size and dollar amount of 
transactions or the percentage of a party's overall business that such 
business constitutes.
    (F) Long duration or high frequency of violations. Violations that 
occur at frequent intervals or repeated violations occurring over an 
extended period of time may be treated more seriously than a single 
violation or related violations that are committed within a brief period 
of time, particularly if the violations are committed by a party with a 
history of business with or in boycotted and boycotting countries. 
(Compare to isolated occurrence of violation in paragraph (d)(2)(i)(H) 
of this supplement.)
    (G) Clarity of request to furnish prohibited information or take 
prohibited action. The request to furnish information or take other 
prohibited action (e.g., enter into agreement to refuse to do business 
with a boycotted country or entity blacklisted by a boycotting country) 
is facially clear as to its intended purpose.
    (H) Violation relating to specific information concerning an 
individual entity or individual. The party has furnished prohibited 
information about business relationships with specific companies or 
individuals.
    (I) Violations relating to ``active'' conduct concerning an 
agreement to refuse to do business. The party has taken action that 
involves altering, editing, or enhancing prohibited terms or language in 
an agreement to refuse to do business, including a letter of credit, or 
drafting a clause or provision including prohibited terms or language in 
the course of negotiating an agreement to refuse to do business, 
including a letter of credit. See ``passive'' agreements to refuse to do 
business in paragraph (d)(2)(i)(G) of this supplement.
    (e) Determination of Scope of Denial or Exclusion Order. In deciding 
whether and what scope of denial or exclusion order is appropriate, the 
following factors are particularly relevant: The presence of mitigating 
or aggravating factors of great weight; the degree of seriousness 
involved; the extent to which senior management participated in or was 
aware of the conduct in question; the number of violations; the 
existence and seriousness of prior violations; the likelihood of future 
violations (taking into account relevant efforts to comply with the 
antiboycott provisions); and whether a civil monetary penalty can be 
expected to have a sufficient deterrent effect.
    (f) How BIS Makes Suspension and Deferral Decisions--(1) Civil 
Penalties. In appropriate cases, payment of a civil monetary penalty may 
be deferred or suspended. See Sec.764.3(a)(1)(iii) of the EAR. In 
determining whether suspension or deferral is appropriate, BIS may 
consider, for example, whether the party has demonstrated a limited 
ability to pay a penalty that would be appropriate for such violations, 
so that suspended or deferred payment can be expected to have sufficient 
deterrent value, and whether, in light of all the circumstances, such 
suspension or deferral is necessary to make the impact of the penalty 
consistent with the impact of BIS penalties on other parties who 
committed similar violations.
    (2) Denial of Export Privileges and Exclusion from Practice. In 
deciding whether a denial or exclusion order should be suspended, BIS 
may consider, for example, the adverse economic consequences of the 
order on the party, its employees, and other persons, as well as on the 
national interest in maintaining or promoting the competitiveness of 
U.S. businesses. An otherwise appropriate denial or exclusion order will 
be suspended on the basis of adverse economic consequences only if it is 
found that future violations of the antiboycott provisions are unlikely 
and if there are adequate measures (usually a substantial civil monetary 
penalty) to achieve the necessary deterrent effect.

Sec.768.1  Introduction.

    In this part, references to the Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR) are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C.
    (a) Authority. Pursuant to sections 5(f) and 5(h) of the Export 
Administration Act (EAA), the Under Secretary of Commerce for Export 
Administration directs the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) in 
gathering and analyzing all the evidence necessary for the Secretary to 
determine foreign availability.
    (b) Scope. This part applies only to the extent that items are 
controlled for national security purposes. This part does not apply to 
encryption items that were formerly controlled on the U.S. Munitions 
List and that were transferred to the Commerce Control List consistent 
with E.O. 13026 of November 15, 1996 (61 FR 58767) and pursuant to the 
Presidential Memorandum of that date, which shall not be subject to any 
mandatory foreign availability review procedures.
    (c) Types of programs. There are two general programs of foreign 
availability:
    (1) Foreign availability to controlled countries. In this category 
are denied license assessments (see Sec. Sec.768.4(b) and 768.7 of 
this part) and decontrol assessments (see Sec. Sec.768.4(c) and 768.7 
of this part).
    (2) Foreign availability to non-controlled countries. In this 
category are denied license assessments, decontrol assessments, and 
evaluations of eligibility for expedited licensing (see Sec.768.8 of 
this part).
    (d) Definitions. The following are definitions of terms used in this 
part 768:
    Allegation. See foreign availability submission.
    Assessment. An evidentiary analysis that BIS conducts concerning the 
foreign availability of a given item based on the assessment criteria, 
data gathered by BIS, and the data and recommendations submitted by the 
Departments of Defense and State and other relevant departments and 
agencies, TAC committees, and industry.
    Assessment criteria. Statutorily established criteria that must be 
assessed for the Secretary to make a determination with respect to 
foreign availability. They are, available-in-fact, from a non-U.S. 
source, in sufficient quantity so as to render the control ineffective, 
and of comparable quality. (See Sec.768.6 of this part).
    Available-in-fact. An item is available-in-fact to a country if it 
is produced within the country or if it may be obtained by that country 
from a third country. Ordinarily, items will not be considered 
available-in-fact to non-controlled countries if the items are available 
only under a validated national security license or a comparable 
authorization from a country that maintains export controls on such 
items cooperatively with the United States.
    Claimant. Any party who makes a foreign availability submission, 
excluding TACs.
    Comparable quality. An item is of comparable quality to an item 
controlled under the EAR if it possesses the characteristics specified 
in the Commerce Control List (CCL) for that item and is alike in key 
characteristics that include, but are not limited to: (1) Function; (2) 
technological approach; (3) performance thresholds; (4) maintainability 
and service life; and (5) any other attribute relevant to the purpose 
for which the control was placed on the item.
    Controlled countries. Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, 
Bulgaria, Cambodia, Cuba, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, 
Laos, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, North Korea, Romania, 
Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and the 
People's Republic of China.
    Decontrol. Removal of license requirements under the EAR.
    Decontrol assessment. An assessment of the foreign availability of 
an item to a country or countries for purposes of determining whether 
decontrol is warranted. Such assessments may be conducted after BIS 
receives a foreign availability submission or a TAC certification, or by 
the Secretary's own initiative.
    Denied license assessment. A foreign availability assessment 
conducted as a result of a claimant's allegation of foreign availability 
for an item (or items)

[[Page 856]]

that BIS has denied or has issued a letter of intent to deny a license. 
If the Secretary determines that foreign availability exists, BIS's 
approval of a license will be limited to the items, countries, and 
quantities in the allegation.
    Determination. The Secretary's decision that foreign availability 
within the meaning of the EAA does or does not exist. (See Sec.768.7 
of this part).
    Expedited licensing procedure eligibility evaluation. An evaluation 
that BIS initiates for the purpose of determining whether an item is 
eligible for the expedited licensing procedure. (See Sec.768.8 of this 
part).
    Expedited licensing procedures. Under expedited licensing 
procedures, BIS reviews and processes a license application for the 
export of an eligible item to a non-controlled country within statutory 
time limits. Licenses are deemed approved unless BIS denies within the 
statutory time limits (See Sec.768.8 of this part).
    Foreign availability submission (FAS). An allegation of foreign 
availability a claimant makes, supported by reasonable evidence, and 
submits to BIS. (See Sec.768.5 of this part).
    Item. Any commodity, software, or technology.
    Items eligible for non-controlled country expedited licensing 
procedures. The items described in supplement no. 2 to this part 768 are 
eligible for the expedited license procedures (See Sec.768.8 of this 
part).
    National Security Override (NSO). A Presidential decision to 
maintain export controls on an item notwithstanding its foreign 
availability as determined under the EAA. The President's decision is 
based on his/her determination that the absence of the controls would 
prove detrimental to the national security of the United States. Once 
the President makes such a decision, the President must actively pursue 
negotiations to eliminate foreign availability with the governments of 
the sources of foreign availability. (See Sec.768.7 of this part).
    Non-controlled countries. Any country not defined as a controlled 
country by this section.
    Non-U.S. source/foreign source. A person located outside the 
jurisdiction of the United States (as defined in part 772 of the EAR).
    Reasonable evidence. Relevant information that is credible.
    Reliable evidence. Relevant information that is credible and 
dependable.
    Secretary. As used in this part, the Secretary refers to the 
Secretary of Commerce or his/her designee.
    Similar quality. An item is of similar quality to an item that is 
controlled under the EAR if it is substantially alike in key 
characteristics that may include, but are not limited to: (1) Function; 
(2) technological approach; (3) performance thresholds; (4) 
maintainability and service life; and (5) any other attribute relevant 
to the purpose for which the control was placed on the item.
    Sufficient quantity. The amount of an item that would render the 
U.S. export control, or the denial of the license in question, 
ineffective in achieving its purpose. For a controlled country, it is 
the quantity that meets the military needs of that country so that U.S. 
exports of the item to that country would not make a significant 
contribution to its military potential.
    Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). A Committee created under 
section 5(h) of the EAA that advises and assists the Secretary of 
Commerce, the Secretary of Defense, and any other department, agency, or 
official of the Government of the United States to which the President 
delegates authority under the EAA on export control matters related to 
specific areas of controlled items.
    TAC certification. A statement that a TAC submits to BIS, supported 
by reasonable evidence, documented as in a FAS, that foreign 
availability to a controlled country exists for an item that falls 
within the TAC's area of technical expertise.

[61 FR 12915, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 61 FR 68585, Dec. 30, 1996; 
62 FR 25469, May 9, 1997]



Sec.768.2  Foreign availability described.

    (a) Foreign availability. Foreign availability exists when the 
Secretary determines that an item is comparable in quality to an item 
subject to U.S. national security export controls, and is available-in-
fact to a country, from a

[[Page 857]]

non-U.S. source, in sufficient quantities to render the U.S. export 
control of that item or the denial of a license ineffective. For a 
controlled country, such control or denial is ``ineffective'' when 
maintaining such control or denying a specific license would not 
restrict the availability of items that would make a significant 
contribution to the military potential of the controlled country or 
combination of countries detrimental to the national security of the 
United States (see sections 5(a) and 3(2)(A) of the EAA.)
    (b) Types of foreign availability. There are two types of foreign 
availability:
    (1) Foreign availability to a controlled country; and
    (2) Foreign availability to a non-controlled country.

    Note to paragraph (b) of this section: See Sec.768.7 of this part 
for delineation of the foreign availability assessment procedures, and 
Sec.768.6 of this part for the criteria used in determining foreign 
availability.



Sec.768.3  Foreign availability assessment.

    (a) Foreign availability assessment. A foreign availability 
assessment is an evidentiary analysis that BIS conducts to assess the 
foreign availability of a given item according to the assessment 
criteria, based on data submitted by a claimant, the data gathered by 
BIS, and the data and recommendations submitted by the Departments of 
Defense and State and other relevant departments and agencies, TAC 
committees, and industry. BIS uses the results of the analysis in 
formulating its recommendation to the Secretary on whether foreign 
availability exists for a given item. If the Secretary determines that 
foreign availability exists, the Secretary will decontrol the item for 
national security reasons or approve the license in question if there is 
no foreign policy reason to deny the license, unless the President 
exercises a National Security Override (see Sec.768.7 of this part). 
The effect of any such determination on the effectiveness of foreign 
policy controls may be considered independent of this part.
    (b) Types of assessments. There are two types of foreign 
availability assessments:
    (1) Denied license assessment; and
    (2) Decontrol assessment.
    (c) Expedited licensing procedures. See Sec.768.8 of this part for 
the evaluation of eligibility of an item for the expedited licensing 
procedures.

[61 FR 12915, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 61 FR 68585, Dec. 30, 1996]



Sec.768.4  Initiation of an assessment.

    (a) Assessment request. To initiate an assessment, each claimant or 
TAC must submit a FAS or a TAC Certification to BIS. TACs are authorized 
to certify foreign availability only to controlled countries. Claimants 
can allege foreign availability for either controlled or non-controlled 
countries.
    (b) Denied license assessment. A claimant whose license application 
BIS has denied, or for which it has issued a letter of intent to deny on 
national security grounds, may request that BIS initiate a denied 
license assessment by submitting a Foreign Availability Submission (FAS) 
within 90 days after denial of the license. As part of its submission, 
the claimant must request that the specified license application be 
approved on the grounds of foreign availability. The evidence must 
relate to the particular export as described on the license application 
and to the alleged comparable item. If foreign availability is found, 
the Secretary will approve the license for the specific items, 
countries, and quantities listed on the application. The denied license 
assessment procedure, however, is not intended to result in the removal 
of the U.S. export control on an item by incrementally providing a 
country with amounts that, taken together, would constitute a sufficient 
quantity of an item. The Secretary will not approve on foreign 
availability grounds a denied license if the approval of such license 
would itself render the U.S. export control ineffective in achieving its 
purpose. In the case of a positive determination, the Secretary will 
determine whether a decontrol assessment is warranted. If so, then BIS 
will initiate a decontrol assessment.
    (c) Decontrol assessment. (1) Any claimant may at any time request 
that BIS initiate a decontrol assessment by a FAS to BIS alleging 
foreign availability to any country or countries.

[[Page 858]]

    (2) A TAC may request that BIS initiate a decontrol assessment at 
any time by submitting a TAC Certification to BIS that there is foreign 
availability to a controlled country for items that fall within the area 
of the TAC's technical expertise.
    (3) The Secretary, on his/her own initiative, may initiate a 
decontrol assessment.
    (d) BIS mailing address. All foreign availability submissions and 
TAC certifications should be submitted to: Department of Commerce, 
Bureau of Industry and Security, Room H-1093, 14th Street and 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.

[61 FR 12915, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 72 FR 25196, May 4, 2007]



Sec.768.5  Contents of foreign availability submissions and Technical 
Advisory Committee certifications.

    (a) All foreign availability submissions must contain, in addition 
to information on product or technology alleged to be available from 
foreign sources, at least:
    (1) The name of the claimant;
    (2) The claimant's mailing and business address;
    (3) The claimant's telephone number; and
    (4) A contact point and telephone number.
    (b) Foreign availability submissions and TAC certifications should 
contain as much evidence as is available to support the claim, 
including, but not limited to:
    (1) Product names and model designations of the items alleged to be 
comparable;
    (2) Extent to which the alleged comparable item is based on U.S. 
technology;
    (3) Names and locations of the non-U.S. sources and the basis for 
claiming that the item is a non-U.S. source item;
    (4) Key performance elements, attributes, and characteristics of the 
items on which a qualitative comparison may be made;
    (5) Non-U.S. source's production quantities and/or sales of the 
alleged comparable items and marketing efforts;
    (6) Estimated market demand and the economic impact of the control;
    (7) Product names, model designations, and value of U.S. controlled 
parts and components incorporated in the items alleged to be comparable; 
and
    (8) The basis for the claim that the item is available-in-fact to 
the country or countries for which foreign availability is alleged.
    (c) Supporting evidence of foreign availability may include, but is 
not limited to, the following:
    (1) Foreign manufacturers' catalogs, brochures, operation or 
maintenance manuals;
    (2) Articles from reputable trade and technical publications;
    (3) Photographs;
    (4) Depositions based on eyewitness accounts; and
    (5) Other credible evidence.

    Note to paragraph (c) of this section: See supplement no. 1 to part 
768 for additional examples of supporting evidence.

    (d) Upon receipt of a FAS or TAC certification, BIS will review it 
to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the belief 
that foreign availability may exist. If BIS determines the FAS or TAC 
certification is lacking in supporting evidence, BIS will seek 
additional evidence from appropriate sources, including the claimant or 
TAC. BIS will initiate the assessment when it determines that it has 
sufficient evidence that foreign availability may exist. Claimant and 
TAC certified assessments will be deemed to be initiated as of the date 
of such determination.
    (e) Claimants and TACs are advised to review the foreign 
availability assessment criteria described in Sec.768.6 of this part 
and the examples of evidence described in supplement no. 1 to part 768 
when assembling supporting evidence for inclusion in the FAS or TAC 
certification.



Sec.768.6  Criteria.

    BIS will evaluate the evidence contained in a FAS or TAC 
certification and all other evidence gathered in the assessment process 
in accordance with

[[Page 859]]

certain criteria that must be met before BIS can recommend a positive 
determination to the Secretary. The criteria are defined in Sec.
768.1(d) of this part. In order to initiate an assessment, each FAS and 
TAC certification should address each of these criteria. The criteria 
are statutorily prescribed and are:
    (a) Available-in-fact;
    (b) Non-U.S. source;
    (c) Sufficient quantity; and
    (d) Comparable quality.



Sec.768.7  Procedures.

    (a) Initiation of an assessment. (1) Once BIS accepts a FAS or TAC 
certification of foreign availability, BIS will notify the claimant or 
TAC that it is initiating the assessment.
    (2) BIS will publish a Federal Register notice of the initiation of 
any assessment.
    (3) BIS will notify the Departments of Defense and State, the 
intelligence community, and any other departments, agencies and their 
contractors that may have information concerning the item on which BIS 
has initiated an assessment. Each such department, agency, and 
contractor shall provide BIS all relevant information concerning the 
item. BIS will invite interested departments and agencies to participate 
in the assessment process (See paragraph (e) of this section).
    (b) Data gathering. BIS will seek and consider all available 
information that bears upon the presence or absence of foreign 
availability, including but not limited to that evidence described in 
Sec.768.5 (b) and (c) of this part. As soon as BIS initiates the 
assessment, it will seek evidence relevant to the assessment, including 
an analysis of the military needs of a selected country or countries, 
technical analysis, and intelligence information from the Departments of 
Defense and State, and other U.S. agencies. Evidence is particularly 
sought from: industry sources worldwide; other U.S. organizations; 
foreign governments; commercial, academic and classified data bases; 
scientific and engineering research and development organizations; and 
international trade fairs.
    (c) Analysis. BIS will conduct its analysis by evaluating whether 
the reasonable and reliable evidence that is relevant to each of the 
foreign availability criteria provides a sufficient basis to recommend a 
determination that foreign availability does or does not exist.
    (d) Recommendation and determination. (1) Upon completion of each 
assessment, BIS, on the basis of its analysis, will recommend that the 
Secretary make a determination either that there is or that there is not 
foreign availability, whichever the evidence supports. The assessment 
upon which BIS bases its recommendation will accompany the 
recommendation to the Secretary.
    (2) BIS will recommend on the basis of its analysis that the 
Secretary determine that foreign availability exists to a country when 
the available evidence demonstrates that an item of comparable quality 
is available-in-fact to the country, from non-U.S. sources, in 
sufficient quantity so that continuation of the existing national 
security export control, or denial of the license application in 
question on national security grounds, would be ineffective in achieving 
its purpose. For a controlled country, such control or denial is 
``ineffective'' when comparable items are available-in-fact from foreign 
sources in sufficient quantities so that maintaining such control or 
denying a license would not be effective in restricting the availability 
of items that would make a significant contribution to the military 
potential of any country or combination of countries detrimental to the 
national security of the United States.
    (3) The Secretary will make the determination of foreign 
availability on the basis of the BIS assessment and recommendation; the 
Secretary's determination will take into account the evidence provided 
to BIS, the recommendations of the Secretaries of Defense and State and 
any other interested agencies, and any other information that the 
Secretary considers relevant.
    (4) For all decontrol and denied license assessments (under section 
5(f)(3) of the EAA) initiated by a FAS, the Secretary will make a 
determination within 4 months of the initiation of the

[[Page 860]]

assessment and will notify the claimant. The Secretary will submit 
positive determinations for review to the appropriate departments and 
agencies.
    (5) The deadlines for determinations based on self-initiated and 
TAC-initiated assessments are different from the deadlines for claimant-
initiated assessments (see paragraphs (f)(2) and (f)(3) of this 
section).
    (e) Interagency review. BIS will notify all appropriate U.S. 
agencies and Departments upon the initiation of an assessment and will 
invite their participation in the assessment process. BIS will provide 
all interested agencies and departments an opportunity to review source 
material, draft analyses and draft assessments immediately upon their 
receipt or production. For claimant-initiated assessments, BIS will 
provide a copy of all positive recommendations and assessments to 
interested agencies and departments for their review following the 
Secretary's determination of foreign availability. For self-initiated 
and TAC-initiated assessments, BIS will provide all interested agencies 
an opportunity to review and comment on the assessment.
    (f) Notification. (1) No later than 5 months after the initiation of 
an assessment based on a FAS (claimant assessments), the Secretary will 
inform the claimant in writing and will submit for publication in the 
Federal Register a notice that:
    (i) Foreign availability exists, and
    (A) The requirement of a license has been removed or the license 
application in question has been approved; or
    (B) The President has determined that for national security purposes 
the export controls must be maintained or the license application must 
be denied, notwithstanding foreign availability, and that appropriate 
steps to eliminate the foreign availability are being initiated; or
    (C) In the case of an item controlled multilaterally under the 
former COCOM regime, the U.S. Government will conduct any necessary 
consultations concerning the proposed decontrol or approval of the 
license with the former COCOM regime for a period of up to 4 months from 
the date of the publication of the determination in the Federal Register 
(the U.S. Government may remove the license requirement for exports to 
non-controlled countries pending completion of the former COCOM regime 
review process); or
    (ii) Foreign availability does not exist.
    (2) For all TAC certification assessments, the Secretary will make a 
foreign availability determination within 90 days following initiation 
of the assessment. BIS will prepare and submit a report to the TAC and 
to the Congress stating that:
    (i) The Secretary has found foreign availability and has removed the 
license requirement; or
    (ii) The Secretary has found foreign availability, but has 
recommended to the President that negotiations be undertaken to 
eliminate the foreign availability; or
    (iii) The Secretary has not found foreign availability.
    (3) There is no statutory deadline for assessments self-initiated by 
the Secretary or for the resulting determination. However, BIS will make 
every effort to complete such assessments and determinations promptly.
    (g) Foreign availability to controlled countries. When the Secretary 
determines that an item controlled for national security reasons is 
available to a controlled country and the President does not issue a 
National Security Override (NSO), BIS will submit the determination to 
the Department of State, along with a draft proposal for the 
multilateral decontrol of the item or for the former COCOM regime 
approval of the license. The Department of State will submit the 
proposal or the license for former COCOM regime review. The former COCOM 
regime will have up to 4 months for review of the proposal.
    (h) Foreign availability to non-controlled countries. If the 
Secretary determines that foreign availability to non-controlled 
countries exists, the Secretary will decontrol the item for export to 
all non-controlled countries where it is found to be available, or 
approve the license in question, unless the President exercises a 
National Security Override.

[[Page 861]]

    (i) Negotiations to eliminate foreign availability. (1) The 
President may determine that an export control must be maintained 
notwithstanding the existence of foreign availability. Such a 
determination is called a National Security Override (NSO) and is based 
on the President's decision that the absence of the control would prove 
detrimental to the United States national security. Unless extended (as 
described in paragraph (i)(7) of this section), an NSO is effective for 
6 months. Where the President invokes an NSO, the U.S. Government will 
actively pursue negotiations with the government of any source country 
during the 6 month period to eliminate the availability.
    (2) There are two types of National Security Overrides:
    (i) An NSO of a determination of foreign availability resulting from 
an assessment initiated pursuant to section 5(f) of the EAA (claimant 
and self-initiated assessments); and
    (ii) An NSO of a determination of foreign availability resulting 
from an assessment initiated pursuant to section 5(h) of the EAA (TAC-
certification assessments).
    (3) For an NSO resulting from an assessment initiated under section 
5(f) of the EAA, the Secretary of any agency may recommend that the 
President exercise the authority under the EAA to retain the controls or 
deny the license notwithstanding the finding of foreign availability.
    (4) For an NSO resulting from an assessment initiated under section 
5(h) of the EAA, the Secretary of Commerce may recommend that the 
President exercise the authority under the EAA to retain the controls 
notwithstanding the finding of foreign availability.
    (5) Under an NSO resulting from an assessment initiated under 
section 5(f) of the EAA, the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban 
Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on International Relations of 
the House of Representatives will be notified of the initiation of the 
required negotiations. The notice will include an explanation of the 
national security interest that necessitates the retention of controls.
    (6) Under an NSO resulting from an assessment initiated under 
section 5(f) of the EAA, BIS will publish notices in the Federal 
Register consisting of:
    (i) The Secretary's determination of foreign availability;
    (ii) The President's decision to exercise the NSO;
    (iii) A concise statement of the basis for the President's decision; 
and
    (iv) An estimate of the economic impact of the decision.
    (7) The 6 month effective period for an NSO may be extended up to an 
additional 12 months if, prior to the end of the 6 months, the President 
certifies to Congress that the negotiations are progressing, and 
determines that the absence of the controls would continue to be 
detrimental to the United States national security.
    (8) After the conclusion of negotiations, BIS will retain the 
control only to the extent that foreign availability is eliminated. If 
foreign availability is not eliminated, BIS will decontrol the item by 
removing the requirement for a license for the export of the item to the 
destinations covered by the assessment. To the extent that the 
negotiations are successful and the foreign availability is eliminated, 
BIS will remove the license requirement for the export of the item to 
any country that has agreed to eliminate foreign availability.
    (j) Changes in foreign availability. If BIS becomes aware of 
conditions, including new evidence, that affect a previous determination 
that foreign availability exists or does not exist, BIS may review the 
conditions. If BIS finds that the foreign availability previously 
determined no longer exists, or that foreign availability not earlier 
found now does exist, BIS will make a recommendation to the Secretary of 
Commerce for the appropriate changes in the control. The Secretary of 
Commerce will make a determination, and BIS will publish a Federal 
Register notice of the determination.



Sec.768.8  Eligibility of expedited licensing procedures for
non-controlled countries.

    (a) BIS determines the eligibility of an item for expedited 
licensing procedures on the basis of an evaluation of the foreign 
availability of the item. Eligibility is specific to the items and

[[Page 862]]

the countries to which they are found to be available.
    (b) BIS will initiate an eligibility evaluation:
    (1) On its own initiative;
    (2) On receipt of a FAS; or
    (3) On receipt of a TAC certification.
    (c) Upon initiation of an eligibility evaluation following receipt 
of either a FAS or TAC certification, BIS will notify the claimant or 
TAC of the receipt and initiation of an evaluation and publish a Federal 
Register notice of the initiation of the evaluation.
    (d) The criteria for determining eligibility for expedited licensing 
procedures are:
    (1) The item must be available-in-fact to the specified
    non-controlled country from a foreign source;
    (2) The item must be of a quality similar to that of the U.S.-
controlled item; and
    (3) The item must be available-in-fact to the specified non-
controlled country without effective restrictions.
    (e) Within 30 days of initiation of the evaluation, the Secretary of 
Commerce will make a determination of foreign availability on the basis 
of the BIS evaluation and recommendation, taking into consideration the 
evidence the Secretaries of Defense, State, and other interested 
agencies provide to BIS and any other information that the Secretary 
considers relevant.
    (f) Within 30 days of the receipt of the FAS or TAC certification, 
BIS will publish the Secretary's determination in the Federal Register, 
that the item will or will not be eligible for expedited licensing 
procedures to the stated countries and, where appropriate, amend 
supplement no. 2 to part 768.
    (g) Following completion of a self-initiated evaluation, BIS will be 
notified of the Secretary's determination and, where appropriate, 
supplement no. 2 to part 768 will be amended.
    (h) Foreign availability submissions and TAC certifications to 
initiate an expedited licensing procedure evaluation must be clearly 
designated on their face as a request for expedited licensing procedure 
and must specify the items, quantities and countries alleged eligible. 
Submissions and certifications should be sent to: Department of 
Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, Room H-1093, 14th Street and 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.

[61 FR 12915, Mar. 25, 1996, as amended at 72 FR 25196, May 4, 2007]



Sec.768.9  Appeals of negative foreign availability determinations.

    Appeals of negative determinations will be conducted according to 
the standards and procedures described in part 756 of the EAR. A 
Presidential decision (NSO) to deny a license or continue controls 
notwithstanding a determination of foreign availability is not subject 
to appeal.



Sec.768.10  Removal of controls on less sophisticated items.

    Where the Secretary has removed national security controls on an 
item for foreign availability reasons, the Secretary will also remove 
controls on similar items that are controlled for national security 
reasons and whose functions, technological approach, performance 
thresholds, and other attributes that form the basis for national 
security export controls do not exceed the technical parameters of the 
item that BIS has decontrolled for foreign availability reasons.



   Sec. Supplement No. 1 to Part 768--Evidence of Foreign Availability

    This supplement provides a list of examples of evidence that the 
Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has found to be useful in 
conducting assessments of foreign availability. A claimant submitting 
evidence supporting a claim of foreign availability should review this 
list for suggestions as evidence is collected. Acceptable evidence 
indicating possible foreign availability is not limited to these 
examples, nor is any one of these examples, usually, in and of itself, 
necessarily sufficient to meet a foreign availability criterion. A 
combination of several types of evidence for each criterion usually is 
required. A Foreign Availability Submission (FAS) should include as much 
evidence as possible on all four of the criteria listed below. BIS 
combines the submitted evidence with the evidence that it collects from 
other sources. BIS evaluates all evidence, taking into account factors 
that may include, but are not limited to: Information concerning the

[[Page 863]]

source of the evidence, corroborative or contradictory indications, and 
experience concerning the reliability or reasonableness of such 
evidence. BIS will assess all relevant evidence to determine whether 
each of the four criteria has been met. Where possible, all information 
should be in writing. If information is based on third party 
documentation, the submitter should provide such documentation to BIS. 
If information is based on oral statements a third party made, the 
submitter should provide a memorandum of the conversation to BIS if the 
submitter cannot obtain a written memorandum from the source. BIS will 
amend this informational list as it identifies new examples of evidence.
    (a) Examples of evidence of foreign availability:
    The following are intended as examples of evidence that BIS will 
consider in evaluating foreign availability. BIS will evaluate all 
evidence according to the provisions in Sec.768.7(c) of this part in 
order for it to be used in support of a foreign availability 
determination. This list is illustrative only.
    (1) Available-in-fact:
    (i) Evidence of marketing of an item in a foreign country (e.g., an 
advertisement in the media of the foreign country that the item is for 
sale there);
    (ii) Copies of sales receipts demonstrating sales to foreign 
countries;
    (iii) The terms of a contract under which the item has been or is 
being sold to a foreign country;

possible the make and model of the item and its observed operating 
characteristics;
    (viii) Evidence of the presence of sales personnel or technical 
service personnel in a foreign country;
    (ix) Evidence of production within a foreign country;
    (x) Evidence of the item being exhibited at a trade fair in a 
foreign country, particularly for the purpose of inducing sales of the 
item to the foreign country;
    (xi) A copy of the export control laws or regulations of the source 
country, showing that the item is not controlled; or
    (xii) A catalog or brochure indicating the item is for sale in a 
specific country.

PART 770_INTERPRETATIONS--Table of Contents



Sec.
770.1 Introduction.
770.2 Item interpretations.
770.3 Interpretations related to exports of technology and software to 
          destinations in Country Group D:1.

    Authority: 50 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.; 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.; E.O. 
13222, 66 FR 44025, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783; Notice of August 15, 
2017, 82 FR 39005 (August 16, 2017).



Sec.770.1  Introduction.

    In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR chapter 
VII, subchapter C. This part provides commodity, technology, and 
software interpretations. These interpretations clarify the scope of 
controls where such scope is not readily apparent from the Commerce 
Control List (CCL) (see supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR) and 
other provisions of the Export Administration Regulations.



Sec.770.2  Item interpretations.

    (a) Interpretation 1: Anti-friction bearing or bearing systems and 
specially designed parts. (1) Anti-friction bearings or bearing systems 
shipped as spares or replacements are classified under Export Control 
Classification Number (ECCN) 2A001 (ball, roller, or needle-roller 
bearings and parts). This applies to separate shipments of anti-friction 
bearings or bearing systems and anti-friction bearings or bearing 
systems shipped with machinery or equipment for which they are intended 
to be used as spares or replacement parts.
    (2) An anti-friction bearing or bearing system physically 
incorporated in a segment of a machine or in a complete machine prior to 
shipment loses its identity as a bearing. In this scenario, the machine 
or segment of machinery containing the bearing is the item subject to 
export control requirements.
    (3) An anti-friction bearing or bearing system not incorporated in a 
segment of a machine prior to shipment, but shipped as a component of a 
complete unassembled (knocked-down) machine, is considered a component 
of a machine. In this scenario, the complete machine is the item subject 
to export license requirements.
    (b) Interpretation 2: Classification of ``parts'' of machinery, 
equipment, or other items--(1) An assembled machine or unit of equipment 
is being exported. In instances where one or more assembled machines or 
units of equipment are being exported, the individual component parts 
that are physically incorporated into the machine or equipment do not 
require a license. The license or general exception under which the 
complete machine or unit of equipment is exported will also cover its 
component parts, provided that the parts are normal and usual components 
of the machine or equipment being exported, or that the physical 
incorporation is not used as a device to evade the requirement for a 
license.
    (2) Parts are exported as spares, replacements, for resale, or for 
stock. In instances where parts are exported as spares, replacements, 
for resale, or for stock, a license is required only if the appropriate 
entry for the part specifies that a license is required for the intended 
destination.
    (c) [Reserved]
    (d) Interpretation 4: Telecommunications equipment and systems. 
Control equipment for paging systems (broadcast radio or selectively 
signalled receiving systems) is defined as circuit switching equipment 
in Category 5 of the CCL.

[[Page 865]]

    (e) Interpretation 5: Numerical control systems--(1) Classification 
of ``Numerical Control'' Units. ``Numerical control'' units for machine 
tools, regardless of their configurations or architectures, are 
controlled by their functional characteristics as described in ECCN 
2B001.a. ``Numerical control'' units include computers with add-on 
``motion control boards''. A computer with add-on ``motion control 
boards'' for machine tools may be controlled under ECCN 2B001.a even 
when the computer alone without ``motion control boards'' is not subject 
to licensing requirements under Category 4 and the ``motion control 
boards'' are not controlled under ECCN 2B001.b.
    (2) Export documentation requirement. (i) When preparing a license 
application for a numerical control system, the machine tool and the 
control unit are classified separately. If either the machine tool or 
the control unit requires a license, then the entire unit requires a 
license. If either a machine tool or a control unit is exported 
separately from the system, the exported component is classified on the 
license application without regard to the other parts of a possible 
system.
    (ii) When preparing the Electronic Export Information (EEI) on the 
Automated Export System (AES), a system being shipped complete (i.e., 
machine and control unit), should be reported under the Schedule B 
number for each machine. When either a control unit or a machine is 
shipped separately, it should be reported under the Schedule B number 
appropriate for the individual item being exported.
    (f) Interpretation 6: ``Parts,'' ``accessories,'' and equipment 
exported as scrap. ``Parts,'' ``accessories,'' or equipment that are 
being shipped as scrap should be described on the EEI filing to the AES 
in sufficient detail to be identified under the proper ECCN. When 
commodities declared as ``parts,'' ``accessories,'' or equipment are 
shipped in bulk, or are otherwise not packaged, packed, or sorted in 
accordance with normal trade practices, the Customs Officer may require 
evidence that the shipment is not scrap. Such evidence may include, but 
is not limited to, bills of sale, orders and correspondence indicating 
whether the commodities are scrap or are being exported for use as 
``parts,'' ``accessories,'' or equipment.
    (g) Interpretation 7: Scrap arms, ammunition, and implements of war. 
Arms, ammunition, and implements of war, as defined in the U.S. 
Munitions List, and are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of 
State (22 CFR parts 120 through 130), except for the following, which 
are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce:
    (1) Cartridge and shell cases that have been rendered useless beyond 
the possibility of restoration to their original identity by means of 
excessive heating, flame treatment, mangling, crushing, cutting, or by 
any other method are ``scrap''.
    (2) Cartridge and shell cases that have been sold by the armed 
services as ``scrap'', whether or not they have been heated, flame-
treated, mangled, crushed, cut, or reduced to scrap by any other method.
    (3) Other commodities that may have been on the U.S. Munitions List 
are ``scrap'', and therefore under the jurisdiction of the Department of 
Commerce, if they have been rendered useless beyond the possibility of 
restoration to their original identity only by means of mangling, 
crushing, or cutting. When in doubt as to whether a commodity covered by 
the Munitions List has been rendered useless, exporters should consult 
the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, U.S. Department of State, 
Washington, DC 20520, or the Exporter Counseling Division, Office of 
Exporter Services, Room 1099A, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, 
DC 20230, before reporting a shipment as metal scrap.
    (h)-(j) [Reserved]
    (k) Interpretation 11: Precursor chemicals. The following chemicals 
are controlled by ECCN 1C350. The appropriate Chemical Abstract Service 
Registry (C.A.S.) number and synonyms (i.e., alternative names) are 
included to help you determine whether or not your chemicals are 
controlled by this entry.

    (l) Interpretation 12: Computers. (1) Digital computers or computer 
systems classified under ECCN 4A003.b or .c, that qualify for ``No 
License Required'' (NLR) must be evaluated on the basis of Adjusted Peak 
Performance (APP) alone, to the exclusion of all other technical 
parameters. Digital computers or computer systems classified under ECCN 
4A003.b or .c that qualify for License Exception APP must be evaluated 
on the basis of APP, to the exclusion of all other technical parameters. 
Assemblies performing analog-to-digital conversions are evaluated under 
Category 3--Electronics, ECCN 3A002.h.
    (2) Related equipment classified under ECCN 4A003.g may be exported 
or reexported under License Exceptions GBS or CIV. When related 
equipment is exported or reexported as part of a computer system, NLR or 
License Exception APP is available for the computer system and the 
related equipment, as appropriate.
    (m) Interpretation 13: Encryption commodities and software 
controlled for EI reasons. Encryption commodities and software 
controlled for EI reasons under ECCNs 5A002, 5A004 and 5D002 may be pre-
loaded on a laptop, handheld device or other computer or equipment and 
exported under the tools of trade provision of License Exception TMP or 
the personal use exemption under License Exception BAG, subject to the 
terms and conditions of such License Exceptions. Neither License 
Exception TMP nor License Exception BAG contains a reporting 
requirement. Like other ``information security'' ``software,'' 
components, ``electronic assemblies'' or modules, the control status of 
encryption commodities and software is determined in Category 5--Part 2 
even if they are bundled, commingled or incorporated in a computer or 
other equipment. However, commodities and software specially designed 
for medical end use that incorporate an item in Category 5--Part 2 are 
not controlled in Category 5--Part 2. See paragraph (a) of

supplement no. 3 to part 774 (Statements of Understanding) of the EAR.
    (n) Interpretation 14: Unfinished ``600 series'' commodities. 
Forgings, castings, and other unfinished products, such as extrusions 
and machined bodies, that have reached a stage in manufacturing where 
they are clearly identifiable by mechanical properties, material 
composition, geometry, or function as commodities controlled by any 
Product Group A (``End Items,'' ``Equipment,'' ``Accessories,'' 
``Attachments,'' ``Parts,'' ``Components'' and ``Systems'') ``600

Sec.770.3  Interpretations related to exports of technology and 
software to destinations in Country Group D:1.

    (a) Introduction. This section is intended to provide you additional 
guidance on how to determine whether your technology or software would 
be eligible for a License Exception, may be exported under NLR, or 
require a license, for export to Country Group D:1.
    (b) Scope of licenses. The export of technology and software under a 
license is authorized only to the extent specifically indicated on the 
face of the license. The only technology and software related to 
equipment exports that may be exported without a license is technology 
described in Sec. Sec.734.7 through 734.11 of the EAR; operating 
technology and software described in Sec.740.13(a) of the EAR; sales 
technology described in Sec.740.13(b) of the EAR; and software updates 
described in Sec.740.13(c) of the EAR.
    (c) Commingled technology and software. (1) U.S.-origin technology 
does not lose its U.S.-origin when it is redrawn, used, consulted, or 
otherwise commingled abroad in any respect with other technology of any 
other origin. Therefore, any subsequent or similar technical data 
prepared or engineered abroad for the design, construction, operation, 
or maintenance of any plant or equipment, or part thereof, which is 
based on or utilizes any U.S.-origin technology, is subject to the EAR 
in the same manner as the original U.S.-origin technology, including 
license requirements, unless the commingled technology is not subject to 
the EAR by reason of the de minimis exclusions described in Sec.734.4 
of the EAR.
    (2) U.S.-origin software that is incorporated into or commingled 
with foreign-origin software does not lose its U.S.-origin. Such 
commingled software is subject to the EAR is the same manner as the 
original U.S.-origin software, including license requirements, unless 
the commingled software is not subject to the EAR by reason of the de 
minimis exclusions described in Sec.734.4 of the EAR.
    (d) Certain License Exception. The following questions and answers 
are intended to further clarify the scope of technology and software 
eligible for a License Exception.
    (1)(i) Question 1. (A) Our engineers, in installing or repairing 
equipment, use techniques (experience as well as proprietary knowledge 
of the internal componentry or specifications of the equipment) that 
exceed what is provided in the standard manuals or instructions 
(including training) given to the customer. In some cases, it is also a 
condition of the license that such information provided to the customer 
be constrained to the minimum necessary for normal installation, 
maintenance and operation situations.
    (B) Can we send an engineer (with knowledge and experience) to the 
customer site to perform the installation or repair, under the 
provisions of License Exception TSU for operation technology and 
software described in Sec.740.13(a) of the EAR, if it is understood 
that he is restricted by our normal business practices to performing the 
work without imparting the knowledge or technology to the customer 
personnel?
    (ii) Answer 1. Export of technology includes release of U.S.-origin 
data in a foreign country, and ``release'' includes ``application to 
situations abroad of personal knowledge or technical experience acquired 
in the United States.'' As the release of technology in the 
circumstances described here would exceed that permitted under the 
License

[[Page 870]]

Exception TSU for operation technology and software described in Sec.
740.13(a) of the EAR, a license would be required even though the 
technician could apply the data without disclosing it to the customer.
    (2)(i) Question 2. We plan, according to our normal business 
practices, to train customer engineers to maintain equipment that we 
have exported under a license, License Exception, or NLR. The training 
is contractual in nature, provided for a fee, and is scheduled to take 
place in part in the customer's facility and in part in the U.S. Can we 
now proceed with this training at both locations under a License 
Exception?
    (ii) Answer 2. (A) Provided that this is your normal training, and 
involves technology contained in your manuals and standard instructions 
for the exported equipment, and meets the other requirements of License 
Exception TSU for operation technology and software described in Sec.
740.13(a), the training may be provided within the limits of those 
provisions of License Exception TSU. The location of the training is not 
significant, as the export occurs at the time and place of the actual 
transfer or imparting of the technology to the customer's engineers.
    (B) Any training beyond that covered under the provisions of License 
Exception TSU for operation technology and software described in Sec.
740.13(a), but specifically represented in your license application as 
required for this customer installation, and in fact authorized on the 
face of the license or a separate technology license, may not be 
undertaken while the license is suspended or revoked.

Sec.772.1  Definitions of terms as used in the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR).

    The following are definitions of terms as used in the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR). In this part, references to the EAR 
are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. Those terms in 
quotation marks refer to terms used on the Commerce Control List (CCL) 
(supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR). Parenthetical references 
following the terms in quotation marks (i.e., (Cat 5)) refer to the CCL 
category in which that term is found. If a term is used in only one 
Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) on the CCL, then that term 
will not appear in this part, but will be defined in the Related 
Definitions paragraph in the List of Items Controlled Section of that 
ECCN.
    600 series. ECCNs in the ``xY6zz'' format on the Commerce Control 
List (CCL) that control items on the CCL that were previously controlled 
on the U.S. Munitions List or that are covered by the Wassenaar 
Arrangement Munitions List (WAML). The ``6'' indicates the entry is a 
munitions entry on the CCL. The ``x'' represents the CCL category and 
``Y'' the CCL product group. The ``600 series'' constitutes the 
munitions ECCNs within the larger CCL.
    600 Series Major Defense Equipment or MDE. Any item listed in ECCN 
9A610.a, 9A619.a, 9A619.b or 9A619.c, having a nonrecurring research and 
development cost of more than $50,000,000 or a total production cost of 
more than $200,000,000.

    Note to ``600 Series Major Defense Equipment'': For the most current 
list of MDE, see Appendix 1, (Nonrecurring Cost Recoupment Charges for 
Major Defense Equipment) to DoD 5105.38-M, ``Security Assistance 
Management Manual (SAMM),'' dated 04/30/2012, available online at http:/
/www.dsca.osd.mil/samm/ESAMM /Appendix01.htm.

    Access information. Information that allows access to encrypted 
technology or encrypted software in an unencrypted form. Examples 
include decryption keys, network access codes, and passwords.
    Accessories. These are associated items for any ``component,'' ``end 
item,'' or ``system,'' and which are not

[[Page 871]]

necessary for their operation, but which enhance their usefulness or 
effectiveness. For example, for a riding lawnmower, ``accessories'' and 
``attachments'' will include the bag to capture the cut grass, and a 
canopy to protect the operator from the sun and rain. For purposes of 
this definition, ``accessories'' and ``attachments'' are the same.
    Accuracy. (Cat 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8)--``Accuracy'' is usually measured 
in terms of inaccuracy. It is defined as the maximum deviation, positive 
or negative, of an indicated value from an accepted standard or true 
value.
    Active flight control systems. (Cat 7)--Function to prevent

function of available resources, within a guaranteed response time, 
regardless of the load of the system, when stimulated by an external 
event.
    Reasons for Control. Reasons for Control are: Anti-Terrorism (AT), 
Chemical & Biological Weapons (CB), Chemical Weapons Convention (CW), 
Crime Control (CC), Encryption Items (EI), Firearms Convention (FC), 
Missile Technology (MT), National Security (NS), Nuclear 
Nonproliferation (NP), Regional Stability (RS), Short Supply (SS), 
Significant Items (SI), Surreptitious Listening (SL) and United Nations 
sanctions (UN). Items controlled within a particular ECCN may be 
controlled for more than one reason.
    Recoverable commodities and software. As applied to encryption 
items, means any of the following:
    (a) A stored data product containing a recovery feature that, when 
activated, allows recovery of the plaintext of encrypted data without 
the assistance of the end-user; or
    (b) A product or system designed such that a network administrator 
or other authorized persons who are removed from the end-user can 
provide law enforcement access to plaintext without the knowledge or 
assistance of the end-user. This includes, for example, products or 
systems where plaintext exists and is accessible at intermediate points 
in a network or infrastructure system, enterprise-controlled recovery 
systems, and products which permit recovery of plaintext at the server 
where a system administrator controls or can provide recovery of 
plaintext across an enterprise.

    Note to this definition: ``Plaintext'' indicates that data that is 
initially received by or presented to the recoverable product before 
encryption takes place.

    Reexport. See Sec.734.14 of the EAR.
    Release. See Sec.734.15 of the EAR.
    Repeatability. (Cat 7)--The closeness of agreement among repeated 
measurements of the same variable under the same operating conditions 
when changes in conditions or non-operating periods occur between 
measurements. (Reference: IEEE STD 528-2001 (one sigma standard 
deviation))
    Repeatability. (MTCR Context only) (Cat 7)--According to IEEE 
Standard for Inertial Sensor Terminology 528-2001 in the Definitions 
section paragraph 2.214 titled repeatability (gyro, accelerometer) as 
follows: ``The closeness of agreement among repeated measurements of the 
same variable under the same operating conditions when changes in 
conditions or non-operating periods occur between measurements.''
    Replacement license. An authorization by the Bureau of Industry and 
Security revising the information, conditions, or riders stated on a 
license issued by BIS. See Sec.750.7 of the EAR.
    Required. (General Technology Note) --As applied to ``technology'' 
or ``software,'' refers to only that portion of ``technology'' or 
``software'' which is peculiarly responsible for achieving or exceeding 
the controlled performance levels, characteristics or functions. Such 
``required'' ``technology'' or ``software'' may be shared by different 
products. For example, assume product ``X'' is controlled on the CCL if 
it operates at or above 400 MHz and is not controlled if it operates 
below 400 MHz. If production technologies ``A,'' ``B,'' and ``C'' allow 
production at no more than 399 MHz, then technologies ``A,'' ``B,'' and 
``C'' are not ``required'' to produce the controlled product ``X''. If 
technologies ``A,'' ``B,'' ``C,'' ``D,'' and ``E'' are used together, a 
manufacturer can produce product ``X'' that operates at or above 400 
MHz. In this example, technologies ``D'' and ``E'' are peculiarly 
responsible for making the controlled product and are thus ``required'' 
technology under the General Technology Note. (See the General 
Technology Note.)


[[Page 894]]


    Note 1 to the definition of Required: The ITAR and the EAR often 
divide within each set of regulations or between each set of 
regulations:
    (a) Controls on parts, components, accessories, attachments, and 
software; and
    (b) Controls on the end items, systems, equipment, or other items 
into which those parts, components, accessories, attachments, and 
software are to be installed or incorporated.
    Note 2 to the definition of Required: The references to 
``characteristics'' and ``functions'' are not limited to entries on the 
CCL that use specific technical parameters to describe the scope of what 
is controlled. The ``characteristics'' and ``functions'' of an item 
listed are, absent a specific regulatory definition, a standard 
dictionary's definition of the item. For example, ECCN 9A610.a controls 
military aircraft specially designed for a military use that are not 
enumerated in USML paragraph VIII(a). No performance level is identified 
in the entry, but the control characteristic of the aircraft is that it 
is specially designed ``for military use.'' Thus, any technology, 
regardless of significance, peculiar to making an aircraft ``for 
military use'' as opposed to, for example, an aircraft controlled under 
ECCN 9A991.a, would be technical data ``required'' for an aircraft 
specially designed for military use thus controlled under ECCN 9E610.
    Note 3 to the definition of Required: Unclassified technology not 
specifically enumerated on the USML is ``subject to the EAR'' if it is 
``required'' for the ``development,'' ``production,'' ``use,'' 
operation, installation, maintenance, repair, overhaul, or refurbishing 
(or other terms specified in ECCNs on the CCL that control 
``technology'') of a commodity or software that is subject to the EAR. 
Thus, for example, if unclassified technology not specifically 
enumerated on the USML is ``required'' for the development or production 
of a 9A610.x aircraft component that is to be integrated or installed in 
a USML VIII(a) aircraft, then the ``technology'' is controlled under 
ECCN 9E610, not USML VIII(i). Conversely, technical data directly 
related to, for example, the development or production of a component 
subject to the ITAR does not become subject to the EAR merely because it 
is developed or produced with equipment subject to the EAR.

    Return Without Action (RWA). An application may be RWA'd for one of 
the following reasons:
    (a) The applicant has requested the application be returned;
    (b) A License Exception applies;
    (c) The items are not under Department of Commerce jurisdiction;
    (d) Required documentation has not been submitted with the 
application; or
    (e) The applicant cannot be reached after several attempts to 
request additional information necessary for processing of the 
application.
    Robot. (Cat 2 and 8)--A manipulation mechanism, which may be of the 
continuous path or of the point-to-point variety, may use ``sensors'', 
and has all the following characteristics:
    (a) Is multifunctional;
    (b) Is capable of positioning or orienting material, parts, tools or 
special devices through variable movements in a three dimensional space;
    (c) Incorporates three or more closed or open loop servo-devices 
that may include stepping motors; and
    (d) Has ``user-accessible programmability'' by means of teach/
playback method or by means of an electronic computer that may be a 
programmable logic controller, i.e., without mechanical intervention.

    Note: This definition does not include the following devices:
    (a) Manipulation mechanisms that are only manually/teleoperator 
controllable;
    (b) Fixed sequence manipulation mechanisms that are automated moving 
devices, operating according to mechanically fixed programmed motions. 
The program is mechanically limited by fixed stops, such as pins or 
cams. The sequence of motions and the selection of paths or angles are 
not variable or changeable by mechanical, electronic or electrical 
means;
    (c) Mechanically controlled variable sequence manipulation 
mechanisms that are automated moving devices, operating according to 
mechanically fixed programmed motions. The program is mechanically 
limited by fixed, but adjustable stops, such as pins or cams. The 
sequence of motions and the selection of paths or angles are variable 
within the fixed program pattern. Variations or modifications of the 
program pattern (e.g., changes of pins or exchanges of cams) in one or 
more motion axes are accomplished only through mechanical operations;
    (d) Non-servo-controlled variable sequence manipulation mechanisms 
that are automated moving devices, operating according to mechanically 
fixed programmed motions. The program is variable, but the sequence 
proceeds only by the binary signal from mechanically fixed electrical 
binary devices or adjustable stops;
    (e) Stacker cranes defined as Cartesian coordinate manipulator 
systems manufactured as an integral part of a vertical array of

[[Page 895]]

storage bins and designed to access the contents of those bins for 
storage or retrieval.

    Routed export transaction. A transaction where the foreign principal 
party in interest authorizes a U.S. forwarding or other agent to 
facilitate export of items from the United States.
    Run-out. (out-of-true running) (Cat 2)--Radial displacement in one 
revolution of the main spindle measured in a plane perpendicular to the 
spindle axis at a point on the external or internal revolving surface to 
be tested (Ref.: ISO 230 Part 1-1986, paragraph 5.61).
    SHPL. (Cat 6) is equivalent to ``Super High Power Laser'', see 
definition for ``super high power laser.''
    SNEC. See Subgroup on Nuclear Export Coordination.
    Sample rate. (Cat 3) For an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) the 
maximum number of samples that are measured at the analog input over a 
period of one second, except for oversampling ADCs. For oversampling 
ADCs the ``sample rate'' is taken to be its output word rate. ``Sample 
rate'' may also be referred to as sampling rate, usually specified in 
Mega Samples Per Second (MSPS) or Giga Samples Per Second (GSPS), or 
conversion rate, usually specified in Hertz (Hz).
    Satellite navigation system (Cat 5P2, 7)--A system consisting of 
ground stations, a constellation of satellites, and receivers, that 
enables receiver locations to be calculated on the basis of signals 
received from the satellites. It includes Global Navigation Satellite 
Systems (GNSS) and Regional Navigation Satellite Systems (RNSS).
    Scale factor. (gyro or accelerometer) (Cat 7)--The ratio of change 
in output to a change in the input intended to be measured. Scale factor 
is generally evaluated as the slope of the straight line that can be 
fitted by the method of least squares to input-output data obtained by 
varying the input cyclically over the input range.
    Schedule B numbers. The commodity numbers appearing in the current 
edition of the Bureau of the Census publication, Schedule B Statistical 
Classification of Domestic and Foreign Commodities Exported from the 
United States. (See part 758 of the EAR for information on use of 
Schedule B numbers.)
    Shield. Chaired by the Department of State, the Shield primarily 
reviews applications involving items controlled for Chemical and 
Biological Weapons (CBW) reasons. The Shield also reviews applications 
involving items not controlled for CBW reasons, but destined for a 
country and/or end-use/end-user of concern. See Sec.750.4 of the EAR.
    Signal analyzers. (Cat 3)--Apparatus capable of measuring and 
displaying basic properties of the single-frequency components of multi-
frequency signals.
    Signal processing. (Cat 3, 4, 5, and 6)--The processing of 
externally derived information-bearing signals by algorithms such as 
time compression, filtering, extraction, selection, correlation, 
convolution or transformations between domains (e.g., fast Fourier 
transform or Walsh transform).
    Single shipment. All items moving at the same time from one exporter 
to one consignee or intermediate consignee on the same exporting 
carrier, even if these items will be forwarded to one or more ultimate 
consignees. Items being transported in this manner shall be treated as a 
single shipment even if the items represent more than one order or are 
in separate containers.
    Software. (Cat: all)--A collection of one or more ``programs'' or 
``microprograms'' fixed in any tangible medium of expression.
    Source code (or source language). (Cat 1, 4, 5P2, 6, 7, and 9)--A 
convenient expression of one or more processes that may be turned by a 
programming system into equipment executable form (``object code'' (or 
object language)).
    ``Space-qualified''. (Cat 3, 6, and 7) Designed, manufactured, or 
qualified through successful testing, for operation at altitudes greater 
than 100 km above the surface of the Earth.

    Note 1: A determination that a specific item is ``space-qualified'' 
by virtue of testing does not mean that other items in the same 
production run or model series are ``space-qualified'' if not 
individually tested.
    Note 2: The terms 'designed' and 'manufactured' in this definition 
are synonymous with ``specially designed.'' Thus, for example, an item 
that is ``specially designed'' for a spacecraft is deemed to be 
'designed' or 'manufactured' for operation at altitudes greater than 100 
km and an item that is not ``specially designed'' for a spacecraft is 
not

[[Page 896]]

deemed to have been so 'designed' or 'manufactured.'

    Spacecraft. (Cat 9)--Active and passive satellites and space probes.
    Spacecraft bus. (Cat 9) Equipment that provides the support 
infrastructure of the ``spacecraft'' and location for the ``spacecraft 
payload''.
    Spacecraft payload. (Cat 9) Equipment, attached to the ``spacecraft 
bus'', designed to perform a mission in space (e.g., communications, 
observation, science).
    Specially Designated National (SDN). Any person who is determined by 
the Secretary of the Treasury to be a specially designated national for 
any reason under regulations issued by the Office of Foreign Assets 
Control (see 31 CFR parts 500 through 590).
    Specially Designated Terrorist (SDT). Any person who is determined 
by the Secretary of the Treasury to be a specially designated terrorist 
under notices or regulations issued by the Office of Foreign Assets 
Control (see 31 CFR chapter V).
    Specially designed. When applying this definition, follow this 
sequential analysis set forth below. (For additional guidance on the 
order of review of ``specially designed,'' including how the review of 
the term relates to the larger CCL, see supplement no. 4 to Part 774 of 
the EAR--Commerce Control List Order of Review.)
    (a) Except for items described in (b), an ``item'' is ``specially 
designed'' if it:
    (1) As a result of ``development'' has properties peculiarly 
responsible for achieving or exceeding the performance levels, 
characteristics, or functions in the relevant ECCN or U.S. Munitions 
List (USML) paragraph; or
    (2) Is a ``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or 
``software'' for use in or with a commodity or defense article 
`enumerated' or otherwise described on the CCL or the USML.
    (b) A ``part,'' ``component,'' ``accessory,'' ``attachment,'' or 
``software'' that would be controlled by paragraph (a) is not 
``specially designed'' if it:
    (1) Has been identified to be in an ECCN paragraph that does not 
contain ``specially designed'' as a control parameter or as an EAR99 
item in a commodity jurisdiction (CJ) determination or interagency-
cleared commodity classification (CCATS) pursuant to Sec.748.3(e);
    (2) Is, regardless of `form' or `fit,' a fastener (e.g., screw, 
bolt, nut, nut plate, stud, insert, clip, rivet, pin), washer, spacer, 
insulator, grommet, bushing, spring, wire, solder;
    (3) Has the same function, performance capabilities, and the same or 
`equivalent' form and fit, as a commodity or software used in or with an 
item that:
    (i) Is or was in ``production'' (i.e., not in ``development''); and
    (ii) Is either not `enumerated' on the CCL or USML, or is described 
in an ECCN controlled only for Anti-Terrorism (AT) reasons;
    (4) Was or is being developed with ``knowledge'' that it would be 
for use in or with commodities or software (i) described in an ECCN and 
(ii) also commodities or software either not `enumerated' on the CCL or 
the USML (e.g., EAR99 commodities or software) or commodities or 
software described in an ECCN controlled only for Anti-Terrorism (AT) 
reasons;
    (5) Was or is being developed as a general purpose commodity or 
software, i.e., with no ``knowledge'' for use in or with a particular 
commodity (e.g., an F/A-18 or HMMWV) or type of commodity (e.g., an 
aircraft or machine tool); or
    (6) Was or is being developed with ``knowledge'' that it would be 
for use in or with commodities or software described (i) in an ECCN 
controlled for AT-only reasons and also EAR99 commodities or software; 
or (ii) exclusively for use in or with EAR99 commodities or software.

    Note 1: `Enumerated' refers to any item (i) on either the USML or 
CCL not controlled in a `catch-all' paragraph and (ii) when on the CCL, 
controlled by an ECCN for more than Anti-Terrorism (AT) reasons only. An 
example of an `enumerated' ECCN is 2A226, which controls valves with the 
following three characteristics: a ``nominal size'' of 5 mm or greater; 
having a bellows seal; and wholly made of or lined with aluminum, 
aluminum alloy, nickel, or nickel alloy containing more than 60% nickel 
by weight. The CCL also contains notes excluding from control ``parts'' 
and ``components'' ``specially designed'' for uncontrolled items. Such 
uncontrolled items are merely `described' and are not `enumerated.' Note 
2 to ECCN 1A002 is an example of items excluded from control

[[Page 897]]

based on being ``specially designed'' for a `described' item. 
Commodities or software in an ECCN controlled only for AT reasons are 
other examples of items `described' on the CCL. ECCN 2B996, which 
controls dimensional inspection or measuring systems or equipment not 
controlled by 2B006, is an example of a commodity `described' in an ECCN 
controlled only for AT reasons. For purposes of ``specially designed,'' 
ECCNs 0B505.c, 0B999, 0D999, 1B999, 1C992, 1C995, 1C997, 1C999, 6A998 
(except for .b), and 9A991 are treated as ECCNs controlled exclusively 
for AT reasons.
    Note 2: A `catch-all' paragraph is one that does not refer to 
specific types of ``parts,'' ``components,'' ``accessories,'' or 
``attachments'' but rather controls non-specific ``parts,'' 
``components,'' ``accessories,'' or ``attachments'' because they were 
``specially designed'' for an enumerated item. For example, ECCN 
paragraph 9A610.x is a catch-all, because it controls ``parts,'' 
``components,'' ``accessories,'' and ``attachments'' ``specially 
designed'' for military aircraft, but does not identify specific types 
of ``parts,'' ``components,'' ``accessories,'' or ``attachments'' within 
its control. Another example of a `catch-all' is the heading of 7A102, 
which controls ``specially designed'' components for the gyros 
enumerated in 7A102, but does not identify the specific types of 
``components'' within its control.
    Note to paragraph (a)(1): Items that as a result of ``development'' 
have properties peculiarly responsible for achieving or exceeding the 
performance levels, `functions' or characteristics in a relevant ECCN 
paragraph may have properties shared by different products. For example, 
ECCN 1A007 controls equipment and devices, specially designed to 
initiate charges and devices containing energetic materials, by 
electrical means. An example of equipment not meeting the peculiarly 
responsible standard under paragraph (a)(1) is a garage door opener, 
that as a result of ``development'' has properties that enable the 
garage door opener to send an encoded signal to another piece of 
equipment to perform an action (i.e., the opening of a garage door). The 
garage door opener is not ``specially designed'' for purposes of 1A007 
because although the garage door opener could be used to send a signal 
by electrical means to charges or devices containing energetic 
materials, the garage door opener does not have properties peculiarly 
responsible for achieving or exceeding the performance levels, 
`functions' or characteristics in 1A007. For example, the garage door 
opener is designed to only perform at a limited range and the level of 
encoding is not as advanced as the encoding usually required in 
equipment and devices used to initiate charges and devices containing 
energetic materials, by electrical means. Conversely, another piece of 
equipment that, as a result of ``development,'' has the properties 
(e.g., sending a signal at a longer range, having signals with advanced 
encoding to prevent interference, and having signals that are specific 
to detonating blasting caps) needed for equipment used to initiate 
charges and devices containing energetic materials, would be peculiarly 
responsible because the equipment has a direct and proximate causal 
relationship that is central or special for achieving or exceeding the 
performance levels, `functions' or characteristics identified in 1A007.
    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(3): Commodities in ``production'' that are 
subsequently subject to ``development'' activities, such as those that 
would result in enhancements or improvements only in the reliability or 
maintainability of the commodity (e.g., an increased mean time between 
failure (MTBF)), including those pertaining to quality improvements, 
cost reductions, or feature enhancements, remain in ``production.'' 
However, any new models or versions of such commodities developed from 
such efforts that change the basic performance or capability of the 
commodity are in ``development'' until and unless they enter into 
``production.''
    Note 2 to paragraph (b)(3): With respect to a commodity, 
`equivalent' means that its form has been modified solely for `fit' 
purposes.
    Note 3 to paragraph (b)(3): The `form' of a commodity is defined by 
its configuration (including the geometrically measured configuration), 
material, and material properties that uniquely characterize it. The 
`fit' of a commodity is defined by its ability to physically interface 
or interconnect with or become an integral part of another item. The 
`function' of the item is the action or actions it is designed to 
perform. `Performance capability' is the measure of a commodity's 
effectiveness to perform a designated function in a given environment 
(e.g., measured in terms of speed, durability, reliability, pressure, 
accuracy, efficiency). For software, `form' means the design, logic 
flow, and algorithms. `Fit' means the ability to interface or connect 
with an item subject to the EAR. The `function' means the action or 
actions it performs directly to an item subject to the EAR or as a 
stand-alone application. `Performance capability' means the measure of 
software's effectiveness to perform a designated function.
    Note to paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4): ECCNs controlled for AT-only 
reasons that use ``specially designed'' are eligible for paragraphs 
(b)(3) and (b)(4). However, the criteria for release under (b)(3) or 
(b)(4) must be met by another ECCN controlled for AT-only reasons or an 
EAR99 item in addition to the AT-only ECCN being reviewed for release 
from ``specially designed.'' For example, if a single gasket is used in 
ECCN 9A990 tractors

[[Page 898]]

(9A990 includes a control on ``specially designed'' ``parts'') and also 
pick-up trucks designated as EAR99 that are in ``production'', the 
single gasket would be released from ``specially designed'' on the basis 
of paragraph (b)(3). Or if the single gasket is or was used in 9A990 
tractors and also 9A991.b aircraft (another AT-only controlled ECCN), 
that are in ``production,'' the gasket would be released from 
``specially designed'' on the basis of paragraph (b)(3). Alternatively, 
if the single gasket is or was only used in ECCN 9A990 tractors that are 
in ``production,'' then paragraph (b)(3) would not be available. This 
same concept applies for paragraph (b)(4).
    Note to paragraphs (b)(4), (b)(5) and (b)(6): For a commodity or 
software to be not ``specially designed'' on the basis of paragraphs 
(b)(4), (b)(5) or (b)(6), documents contemporaneous with its 
``development,'' in their totality, must establish the elements of 
paragraphs (b)(4), (b)(5) or (b)(6). Such documents may include concept 
design information, marketing plans, declarations in patent 
applications, or contracts. Absent such documents, the ``commodity'' may 
not be excluded from being ``specially designed'' by paragraphs (b)(4), 
(b)(5) or (b)(6).

    ``Specific modulus''. (Cat 1)--Young's modulus in pascals, 
equivalent to N/m\2\, divided by specific weight in N/m\3\, measured at

    Note: For gyroscopes and accelerometers, ``stability'' can be 
estimated by determining the Allan variance noise-analysis value at the 
integration period (i.e., sample time) consistent with the stated 
measurement period, which may include extrapolating the Allan variance 
noise analysis beyond the instability point into the rate/acceleration 
random walk or rate/acceleration ramp regions to an integration period 
consistent with the stated measurement period (Reference: IEEE Std. 952-
1997 [R2008] or IEEE Std 1293-1998 [R2008]).

temperature and pressure at the engine inlet are constant.
    Stored program controlled. (Cat 2, 3, and 5)--A control using 
instructions stored in an electronic storage that a processor can 
execute in order to direct the performance of predetermined functions.

    Note: Equipment may be ``stored program controlled'' whether the

alloys, or compounds that can lose all electrical resistance, i.e., that 
can attain infinite electrical conductivity and carry very large 
electrical currents without Joule heating.

    Note: The ``superconductive'' state of a material is individually 
characterized by a ``critical temperature'', a critical magnetic field 
that is a function of temperature, and a critical current density that 
is a function of both magnetic field and temperature.

conventional tensile strength testing, in order to achieve elongations 
during processing that are at least 2 times those values.
    Symmetric algorithm. (Cat 5, Part II) A cryptographic algorithm 
using an identical key for both encryption and decryption. A common use 
of ``symmetric algorithms'' is confidentiality of data.
    System. This is any combination of ``end items,'' ``equipment,'' 
``parts,'' ``components,'' ``accessories,'' ``attachments,'' firmware, 
or ``software'' that operate together to perform a function.

    Note: The industrial standards established by INCOSE and NASA 
provide examples for when commodities and software operate together to 
perform a function as a system. References to these standards are 
included in this note to provide additional examples for when 
commodities or software operate together to perform a function as a 
system.

See the INCOSE standards for what constitutes a system at (http:// 
g2sebok. incose. org/ app/ mss /asset. cfm?ID= INCOSE% 20 G2 SEBOK 
%202.00& ST= F), and in the (INCOSE SE Handbook v3.1 2007; ISO/IEC 
15288:2008). Also see the NASA standards for examples of what 
constitutes a system in the (NASA SE Handbook SP-2007-6105 Rev 1).

Sec.774.1  Introduction.

    (a) Scope of the control list. In this part, references to the EAR 
are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C. The Bureau of 
Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL) 
that includes ``items''--i.e., ``commodities,'' ``software,'' and 
``technology''--subject to the authority of BIS. The CCL does not 
include items exclusively controlled for export by another department or 
agency of the U.S. Government, though in instances where other agencies 
administer controls over related items, entries in the CCL may contain a 
reference to such controls. In addition, those items ``subject to the 
EAR'' but not identified on the CCL are identified by the designator 
``EAR99.'' See Sec.734.2(a) of the EAR for items that are ``subject to 
the EAR.'' EAR Part 738 contains an explanation of the organization of 
the CCL and its relationship to the Country Chart.
    (b) ECCN cross-references for items subject to exclusive 
jurisdiction of another agency. (1) Prior to October 15, 2013, the CCL 
contained certain ECCNs that

[[Page 903]]

were only included as cross references to items subject to the export 
control regulations administered by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
    (2) ECCNs formerly listed on the CCL that, as of October 15, 2013 
were subject to the export licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission at 10 CFR part 110 are: 0A001, 0B001, 0B002, 0B003, 0B004, 
0B005, 0B006, 0C001, 0C002, 0C004, 0C005, 0C006, 0C201 and 1C012.
    (3) The following multilateral export control regime reference is 
provided, as an additional point of historical reference: 0C201--INFCIRC 
254 Part 1, 5.3.1(b).

    Note to paragraph (b): ECCNs 0D001 and 0E001 are ``subject to the 
ITAR'' (see 22 CFR parts 120 through 130). These ECCNs are retained on 
the CCL as cross references to the ITAR, although the former cross 
references to export licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (see 10 CFR part 110) for ECCN 0D001, and to the Department 
of Energy (see 10 CFR part 810) for 0E001 were removed from the 
Control(s) paragraph in the License Requirements section of these two 
ECCNs and added as a more general jurisdictional cross reference in a 
heading note added to these two ECCNs as of June 5, 2014.

    (c) Where to find the CCL? The CCL is contained in supplement no. 1 
to this part, and supplement no. 2 to this part contains the General 
Technology and Software Notes relevant to entries contained in the CCL.
    (d) Conventions related to the use of quotation marks on the CCL. 
The use of double quotation marks on the CCL is intended to be an aid to 
alert you to terms used on the CCL that are defined in part 772 
(Definitions of Terms), or for purposes of ECCNs, where a definition is 
provided in the ``related definitions'' paragraph in the License 
Requirements section of ECCNs or sometimes in Notes and Technical Notes 
for particular ECCNs and that definition is specific to that particular 
ECCN. In this sense the quotes are helpful both in the use of single and 
double quotes, but a good compliance practice is to familiarize yourself 
with the defined terms in part 772, and when reviewing a control 
parameter on the CCL that uses a term that is not in quotes to be aware 
it may be defined in part 772. It is also a useful compliance practice 
to review the ``Related Definitions'' paragraph and Notes and Technical 
Notes to determine if the term is defined for purposes of a particular 
ECCN.
    (1) Use of double quotes. If a term on the CCL uses double quotes it 
means there is a defined term in part 772. However, the absence of 
double quotes does not mean that a term used on the CCL is not defined 
in part 772. Because the CCL includes many terms that are defined in 
part 772, BIS's practice is to use double quotes for certain key terms 
and to use double quotes when needed for consistency with multilateral 
export control regime based entries, such as many derived from control 
lists, in particular for the Wassenaar Arrangement that also uses the 
double quotes convention. However, because of the large number of 
defined terms used on the CCL and a desire to avoid hindering 
readability by placing quotes around too many words used in particular 
ECCNs, BIS's practice is to not add double quotes around certain terms, 
such as items and commodities. This convention also applies to the use 
of double quotes within the Definition of Terms section under part 772.
    (2) Use of single quotes. The CCL also includes a convention 
regarding the use of single quotes. Single quotes on the CCL identify a 
term as a defined term in the context of a particular ECCN. This 
convention also applies to the use of single quotes within the 
Definition of Terms section under part 772.
    (e) Chemicals identified by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number. 
In some instances chemicals are listed by name and CAS number. The list 
applies to chemicals of the same structural formula (including hydrates) 
regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in 
identifying a particular chemical or mixture, irrespective of 
nomenclature. CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers because 
some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers, and 
mixtures containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS 
numbers.

    Technical Notes
    1. The word initiator or igniter is sometimes used in place of the 
word detonator.
    2. For the purpose of 1A007.b the detonators of concern all utilize 
a small electrical conductor (bridge, bridge wire, or foil) that 
explosively vaporizes when a fast, high-current electrical pulse is 
passed through it. In nonslapper types, the exploding conductor starts a 
chemical detonation in a contacting high explosive material such as PETN 
(pentaerythritoltetranitrate). In slapper detonators, the explosive 
vaporization of the electrical conductor drives a flyer or slapper 
across a gap, and the impact of the slapper on an explosive starts a 
chemical detonation. The slapper in some designs is driven by magnetic 
force. The term exploding foil detonator may refer to either an EB or a 
slapper-type detonator.

see 1B201.
Related Definitions: Examples of ``parts,'' ``components'' and 
accessories for the machines controlled by this entry are molds, 
mandrels, dies, fixtures and tooling for the preform pressing, curing, 
casting, sintering or bonding of composite structures, laminates and 
manufactures thereof.
Items: a. Filament winding machines or 'fiber/tow-placement machines,' 
of which the motions for positioning, wrapping and winding fibers can be 
coordinated and programmed in three or more axes, designed to fabricate 
composite structures or laminates from fibrous or filamentary materials, 
and coordinating and programming controls;

[[Page 936]]

    b. 'Tape-laying machines' of which the motions for positioning and 
laying tape can be coordinated and programmed in two or more axes, 
designed for the manufacture of composite airframe and missile 
structures;
    Technical Notes for paragraphs a and b: For the purposes of 1B101.a. 
and 1B101.b., the following definitions apply:
    1. 'Fiber/tow-placement machines' and 'tape-laying machines' are 
machines that perform similar processes that use computer-guided heads 
to lay one or several 'filament bands' onto a mold to create a part or a 
structure. These machines have the ability to cut and restart individual 
'filament band' courses during the laying process.
    2. A 'filament band' is a single continuous width of fully or 
partially resin-impregnated tape, tow, or fiber. Fully or partially 
resin-impregnated 'filament bands' include those coated with dry powder 
that tacks upon heating.
    3. 'Fiber/tow-placement machines' have the ability to place one or 
more 'filament bands' having widths less than or equal to 25.4 mm. This 
refers to the minimum width of material the machine can place, 
regardless of the upper capability of the machine.
    4. 'Tape-laying machines' have the ability to place one or more 
'filament bands' having widths less than or equal to 304.8 mm, but 
cannot place 'filament bands' with a width equal to or less than 25.4 
mm. This refers to the minimum width of material the machine can place, 
regardless of the upper capability of the machine.
    c. Equipment designed or modified for the ``production'' of 
``fibrous or filamentary materials'' as follows:
    c.1. Equipment for converting polymeric fibers (such as 
polyacrylonitrile, rayon or polycarbosilane) including special provision 
to strain the fiber during heating;
    c.2. Equipment for the vapor deposition of elements or compounds on 
heated filament substrates; and
    c.3. Equipment for the wet-spinning of refractory ceramics (such as 
aluminum oxide);
    d. Equipment designed or modified for special fiber surface 
treatment or for producing prepregs and preforms controlled by 9A110.
    Note: Equipment covered in 1B101.d includes but is not limited to, 
rollers, tension stretchers, coating equipment, cutting equipment and 
clicker dies.

    CW applies to 1C350.b, and .c. The Commerce Country Chart is not 
designed to determine licensing requirements for items controlled for CW 
reasons. A license is required, for CW reasons, to export or reexport 
Schedule 2 chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C350.b to States not 
Party to the CWC (destinations not listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 
745 of the EAR). A license is required, for CW reasons, to export 
Schedule 3 chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C350.c to States not 
Party to the CWC, unless an End-Use Certificate issued by the government 
of the importing country has been obtained by the exporter prior to 
export. A license is required, for CW reasons, to reexport Schedule 3 
chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C350.c from a State not Party to 
the CWC to any other State not Party to the CWC. (See Sec.742.18 of 
the EAR for license requirements and policies for toxic and precursor 
chemicals controlled for CW reasons. See Sec.745.2 of the EAR for End-
Use Certificate requirements that apply to exports of Schedule 3 
chemicals to countries not listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of the 
EAR.)
    AT applies to entire entry. The Commerce Country Chart is not 
designed to determine licensing requirements for items controlled for AT 
reasons in 1C350. A license is required, for AT reasons, to export or 
reexport items controlled by 1C350 to a country in Country Group E:1 of 
Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR. (See part 742 of the EAR for 
additional information on the AT controls that apply to Iran, North 
Korea, Sudan, and Syria. See part 746 of the EAR for additional 
information on sanctions that apply to Iran, North Korea, and Syria.)
    License Requirement Notes: 1. Sample Shipments: Subject to the 
following requirements and restrictions, a license is not required for 
sample shipments when the cumulative total of these shipments does not 
exceed a 55-gallon container or 200 kg of a single chemical to any one 
consignee during a calendar year. A consignee that receives a sample 
shipment under this exclusion may not resell, transfer, or reexport the 
sample shipment, but may use the sample shipment for any other legal 
purpose unrelated to chemical weapons.
    a. Chemicals Not Eligible:
    A. [Reserved]
    B. CWC Schedule 2 chemicals (States not Party to the CWC). No CWC 
Schedule 2 chemical or mixture identified in 1C350.b is eligible for 
sample shipment to States not Party to the CWC (destinations not listed 
in Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of the EAR) without a license.
    b. Countries Not Eligible: Countries in Country Group E:1 of 
Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR are not eligible to receive 
sample shipments of any chemicals controlled by this ECCN without a 
license.
    c. Sample shipments that require an End-Use Certificate for CW 
reasons: No CWC Schedule 3 chemical or mixture identified in 1C350.c is 
eligible for sample shipment to States not Party to the CWC 
(destinations not listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of the EAR) 
without a license,

[[Page 960]]

unless an End-Use Certificate issued by the government of the importing 
country is obtained by the exporter prior to export (see Sec.745.2 of 
the EAR for End-Use Certificate requirements).
    d. Sample shipments that require a license for reasons set forth 
elsewhere in the EAR: Sample shipments, as described in this Note 1, may 
require a license for reasons set forth elsewhere in the EAR. See, in 
particular, the end-use/end-user restrictions in part 744 of the EAR, 
and the restrictions that apply to embargoed countries in part 746 of 
the EAR.
    e. Annual report requirement. The exporter is required to submit an 
annual written report for shipments of samples made under this Note 1. 
The report must be on company letterhead stationery (titled ``Report of 
Sample Shipments of Chemical Precursors'' at the top of the first page) 
and identify the chemical(s), Chemical Abstract Service Registry 
(C.A.S.) number(s), quantity(ies), the ultimate consignee's name and 
address, and the date of export for all sample shipments that were made 
during the previous calendar year. The report must be submitted no later 
than February 28 of the year following the calendar year in which the 
sample shipments were made, to: U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, 14th Street and Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Room 2099B, 
Washington, DC 20230, Attn: ``Report of Sample Shipments of Chemical 
Precursors.''
    2. Mixtures:
    a. Mixtures that contain precursor chemicals identified in ECCN 
1C350, in concentrations that are below the levels indicated in 1C350.b 
through .d, are controlled by ECCN 1C395 or 1C995 and are subject to the 
licensing requirements specified in those ECCNs.
    b. A license is not required under this ECCN for a mixture, when the 
controlled chemical in the mixture is a normal ingredient in consumer 
goods packaged for retail sale for personal use. Such consumer goods are 
designated EAR99. However, a license may be required for reasons set 
forth elsewhere in the EAR.
    Note to mixtures: Calculation of concentrations of AG-controlled 
chemicals:
    a. Exclusion. No chemical may be added to the mixture (solution) for 
the sole purpose of circumventing the Export Administration Regulations;
    b. Percent Weight Calculation. When calculating the percentage, by 
weight, of ingredients in a chemical mixture, include all ingredients of 
the mixture, including those that act as solvents.
    3. Compounds. Compounds created with any chemicals identified in 
this ECCN 1C350 may be shipped NLR (No License Required), without 
obtaining an End-Use Certificate, unless those compounds are also 
identified in this entry or require a license for reasons set forth 
elsewhere in the EAR.
    4. Testing Kits: Certain medical, analytical, diagnostic, and food 
testing kits containing small quantities of chemicals identified in this 
ECCN 1C350, are excluded from the scope of this ECCN and are controlled 
under ECCN 1C395 or 1C995. (Note that replacement reagents for such kits 
are controlled by this ECCN 1C350 if the reagents contain one or more of 
the precursor chemicals identified in 1C350 in concentrations equal to 
or greater than the control levels for mixtures indicated in 1C350.)
    Technical Notes: 1. For purposes of this entry, a ``mixture'' is 
defined as a solid, liquid or gaseous product made up of two or more 
ingredients that do not react together under normal storage conditions.
    2. The scope of this control applicable to Hydrogen Fluoride (see 
1C350.d.14 in the List of Items Controlled) includes its liquid, 
gaseous, and aqueous phases, and hydrates.
    3. Precursor chemicals in ECCN 1C350 are listed by name, Chemical 
Abstract Service (CAS) number and CWC Schedule (where applicable). 
Precursor chemicals of the same structural formula (e.g., hydrates) are 
controlled by ECCN 1C350, regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers 
are shown to assist in identifying whether a particular precursor 
chemical or mixture is controlled under ECCN 1C350, irrespective of 
nomenclature. However, CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers 
in all situations because some forms of the listed precursor chemical 
have different CAS numbers, and mixtures containing a precursor chemical 
listed in ECCN 1C350 may also have different CAS numbers.

    Technical Notes for 2B001 to 2B009, 2B201, and 2B991 to 2B999: 1. 
Secondary parallel contouring axes, (e.g., the w-axis on horizontal 
boring mills or a secondary rotary axis the center line of which is 
parallel to the primary rotary axis) are not counted in the total number 
of contouring axes. Rotary axes need not rotate over 360[deg]. A rotary 
axis can be driven by a linear device (e.g., a screw or a rack-and-
pinion).
    2. The number of axes which can be coordinated simultaneously for 
``contouring control'' is the number of axes along or around which, 
during processing of the workpiece, simultaneous and interrelated 
motions are performed between the workpiece and a tool. This does not 
include any additional axes along or around which other relative motions 
within the machine are performed, such as:
    2.a. Wheel-dressing systems in grinding machines;
    2.b. Parallel rotary axes designed for mounting of separate 
workpieces;
    2.c. Co-linear rotary axes designed for manipulating the same 
workpiece by holding it in a chuck from different ends.
    3. Axis nomenclature shall be in accordance with International 
Standard ISO 841:2001, Industrial automation systems and integration--
Numerical control of machines--Coordinate system and motion 
nomenclature.
    4. A ``tilting spindle'' is counted as a rotary axis.
    5. 'Stated ``unidirectional positioning repeatability'' ' may be 
used for each specific machine model as an alternative to individual 
machine tests, and is determined as follows:
    5.a. Select five machines of a model to be evaluated;
    5.b. Measure the linear axis repeatability (R[uarr],R[darr]) 
according to ISO 230-2:2014 and evaluate ``unidirectional positioning 
repeatability'' for each axis of each of the five machines;
    5.c. Determine the arithmetic mean value of the ''unidirectional 
positioning repeatability''-values for each axis of all five machines 
together. These arithmetic mean values ``unidirectional positioning 
repeatability'' (UPR) become the stated value of each axis for the 
model...) (UPRX, UPRy, . . .);
    5.d. Since the Category 2 list refers to each linear axis there will 
be as many 'stated ``unidirectional positioning repeatability'' ' values 
as there are linear axes;
    5.e. If any axis of a machine model not controlled by 2B001.a. to 
2B001.c. has a 'stated ``unidirectional positioning repeatability'' ' 
equal to or less than the specified ``unidirectional positioning 
repeatability'' of each machine tool model plus 0.7 [micro]m, the 
builder should be required to reaffirm the accuracy level once every 
eighteen months.
    6. For the purpose of 2B, measurement uncertainty for the 
``unidirectional positioning repeatability'' of machine tools, as 
defined in the International Standard ISO 230-2:2014, shall not be 
considered.
    7. For the purpose of 2B, the measurement of axes shall be made 
according to test procedures in 5.3.2. of ISO 230-2:2014. Tests for axes 
longer

[[Page 990]]

than 2 meters shall be made over 2 m segments. Axes longer than 4 m 
require multiple tests (e.g., two tests for axes longer than 4 m and up 
to 8 m, three tests for axes longer than 8 m and up to 12 m), each over 
2 m segments and distributed in equal intervals over the axis length. 
Test segments are equally spaced along the full axis length, with any 
excess length equally divided at the beginning, in between, and at the 
end of the test segments. The smallest ``unidirectional positioning 
repeatability''-value of all test segments is to be reported.

2B001 Machine tools and any combination thereof, for removing (or 
          cutting) metals, ceramics or ``composites'', which, according 
          to the manufacturer's technical specifications, can be 
          equipped with electronic devices for ``numerical control''; as

    Technical Notes: 1. In a scroll compressor or vacuum pump, crescent-
shaped pockets of gas are trapped between one or more pairs of 
intermeshed spiral vanes, or scrolls, one of which moves while the other 
remains stationary. The moving scroll orbits the stationary scroll; it 
does not rotate. As the moving scroll orbits the stationary scroll, the 
gas pockets diminish in size (i.e., they are compressed) as they move 
toward the outlet port of the machine.
    2. In a bellows-sealed scroll compressor or vacuum pump, the process 
gas is totally isolated from the lubricated parts of the pump and from 
the external atmosphere by a metal bellows. One end of the bellows is 
attached to the moving scroll and the other end is attached to the 
stationary housing of the pump.
    3. Fluoropolymers include, but are not limited to, the following

    Technical Notes: 1. 'Direct-acting hydraulic pressing' is a 
deformation process which uses a fluid-filled flexible bladder in direct 
contact with the workpiece.
    2. 'Hot isostatic densification' is a process of pressurizing a 
casting at temperatures exceeding 375 K (102 [deg]C) in a closed cavity 
through various media (gas, liquid, solid particles, etc.) to create 
equal force in all directions to reduce or eliminate internal voids in 
the casting.

    N.B.: This table should be read to control the technology of a 
particular 'Coating Process' only when the resultant coating in column 3 
is in a paragraph directly across from the relevant 'Substrate' under 
column 2. For example, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) 'coating process' 
control the ``technology'' for a particular application of 'silicides' 
to 'Carbon-carbon, Ceramic and Metal ``matrix'' ``composites'' 
substrates, but are not controlled for the application of 'silicides' to 
'Cemented tungsten carbide (16), Silicon carbide (18)' substrates. In 
the second case, the resultant coating is not listed in the paragraph 
under column 3 directly across from the paragraph under column 2 listing 
'Cemented tungsten carbide (16), Silicon carbide (18).'

    Technical Note to Table on Deposition Techniques:
    Processes specified in Column 1 of the Table are defined as follows:
    a. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is an overlay coating or surface 
modification coating process wherein a metal, alloy, ``composite'', 
dielectric or ceramic is deposited upon a heated substrate. Gaseous 
reactants are decomposed or combined in the vicinity of a substrate 
resulting in the deposition of the desired elemental, alloy or compound 
material on the substrate. Energy for this decomposition or chemical 
reaction process may be provided by the heat of the substrate, a glow 
discharge plasma, or ``laser'' irradiation.
    Note 1:
    CVD includes the following processes: Directed gas flow out-of-pack 
deposition, pulsating CVD, controlled nucleation thermal decomposition 
(CNTD), plasma enhanced or plasma assisted CVD processes.
    Note 2:
    Pack denotes a substrate immersed in a powder mixture.
    Note 3:
    The gaseous reactants used in the out-of-pack process are produced 
using the same basic reactions and parameters as the pack cementation 
process, except that the substrate to be coated is not in contact with 
the powder mixture.
    b. Thermal Evaporation-Physical Vapor Deposition (TE-PVD) is an 
overlay coating process conducted in a vacuum with a pressure less

[[Page 1020]]

than 0.1 Pa wherein a source of thermal energy is used to vaporize the 
coating material. This process results in the condensation, or 
deposition, of the evaporated species onto appropriately positioned 
substrates. The addition of gases to the vacuum chamber during the 
coating process to synthesize compound coatings is an ordinary 
modification of the process. The use of ion or electron beams, or 
plasma, to activate or assist the coating's deposition is also a common 
modification in this technique. The use of monitors to provide in-
process measurement of optical characteristics and thickness of coatings 
can be a feature of these processes. Specific TE-PVD processes are as 
follows:
    1. Electron Beam PVD uses an electron beam to heat and evaporate the 
material which forms the coating;
    2. Ion Assisted Resistive Heating PVD employs electrically resistive 
heating sources in combination with impinging ion beam(s) to produce a 
controlled and uniform flux of evaporated coating species;
    3. ``Laser'' Vaporization uses either pulsed or continuous wave 
``laser'' beams to vaporize the material which forms the coating;
    4. Cathodic Arc Deposition employs a consumable cathode of the 
material which forms the coating and has an arc discharge established on 
the surface by a momentary contact of a ground trigger. Controlled 
motion of arcing erodes the cathode surface creating a highly ionized 
plasma. The anode can be either a cone attached to the periphery of the 
cathode, through an insulator, or the chamber. Substrate biasing is used 
for non line-of-sight deposition;
    Note:  This definition does not include random cathodic arc 
deposition with non-biased substrates.
    5. Ion Plating is a special modification of a general TE-PVD process 
in which a plasma or an ion source is used to ionize the species to be 
deposited, and a negative bias is applied to the substrate in order to 
facilitate the extraction of the species from the plasma. The 
introduction of reactive species, evaporation of solids within the 
process chamber, and the use of monitors to provide in-process 
measurement of optical characteristics and thicknesses of coatings are 
ordinary modifications of the process.
    c. Pack Cementation is a surface modification coating or overlay 
coating process wherein a substrate is immersed in a powder mixture (a 
pack), that consists of:
    1. The metallic powders that are to be deposited (usually aluminum, 
chromium, silicon or combinations thereof);
    2. An activator (normally a halide salt); and
    3. An inert powder, most frequently alumina.
    Note: The substrate and powder mixture is contained within a retort 
which is heated to between 1,030 K (757 [deg]C) to 1,375 K (1,102 
[deg]C) for sufficient time to deposit the coating.
    d. Plasma Spraying is an overlay coating process wherein a gun 
(spray torch) which produces and controls a plasma accepts powder or 
wire coating materials, melts them and propels them towards a substrate, 
whereon an integrally bonded coating is formed. Plasma spraying 
constitutes either low pressure plasma spraying or high velocity plasma 
spraying.
    Note 1:
    Low pressure means less than ambient atmospheric pressure.
    Note 2:
    High velocity refers to nozzle-exit gas velocity exceeding 750 m/s 
calculated at 293 K (20 [deg]C) at 0.1 MPa.
    e. Slurry Deposition is a surface modification coating or overlay 
coating process wherein a metallic or ceramic powder with an organic 
binder is suspended in a liquid and is applied to a substrate by either 
spraying, dipping or painting, subsequent air or oven drying, and heat 
treatment to obtain the desired coating.
    f. Sputter Deposition is an overlay coating process based on a 
momentum transfer phenomenon, wherein positive ions are accelerated by 
an electric field towards the surface of a target (coating material). 
The kinetic energy of the impacting ions is sufficient to cause target 
surface atoms to be released and deposited on an appropriately 
positioned substrate.
    Note 1:
    The Table refers only to triode, magnetron or reactive sputter 
deposition which is used to increase adhesion of the coating and rate of 
deposition and to radio frequency (RF) augmented sputter deposition used 
to permit vaporization of non-metallic coating materials.
    Note 2:
    Low-energy ion beams (less than 5 keV) can be used to activate the 
deposition.
    g. Ion Implantation is a surface modification coating process in 
which the element to be alloyed is ionized, accelerated through a 
potential gradient and implanted into the surface region of the 
substrate. This includes processes in which ion implantation is 
performed simultaneously with electron beam physical vapor deposition or 
sputter deposition.

distortion component at its output.
    2. SFDR is determined directly from the specification table or from

where the interpolation mode may be bypassed (interpolation factor of 
one), the DAC should be considered as a conventional (non-interpolating) 
DAC.
    b. For interpolating DACs (oversampling DACs), the 'adjusted update 
rate' is defined as the DAC update rate divided by the smallest 
interpolating factor. For interpolating DACs, the 'adjusted update rate'

``as part of'' does not necessarily mean physical part in the same 
shipment; separate shipments from different sources are allowed, 
provided the related export documents clearly specify that the shipments 
are dispatched ``as part of'' the imaging systems.
    c. Flash X-ray generators or pulsed electron accelerators having 
either of the following sets of characteristics:
    c.1. An accelerator peak electron energy of 500 keV or greater, but 
less than 25 MeV, and with a ``figure of merit'' (K) of 0.25 or greater;

    Technical Notes: (1) The ``figure of merit'' K is defined as: K = 
1.7 x 10\3\V \2.65\Q. V is the peak electron energy in million electron 
volts. If the accelerator beam pulse duration is less than or equal to 1 
[micro]s, then Q is the total accelerated charge in Coulombs. If the 
accelerator beam pulse duration is greater than 1 [micro]s, then Q is 
the maximum accelerated charge in 1 [micro]s. Q equals the intergral of 
i with respect to t, over the lesser of 1 [micro]s or the time duration 
of the beam pulse Q= [int] idt), where i is beam current in amperes and 
t is time in seconds.
    (2) ``Peak power'' = (peak potential in volts) x (peak beam current 
in amperes).
    (3) In machines based on microwave accelerating cavities, the time 
duration of the beam pulse is the lesser of 1 [micro]s or the duration 
of the bunched beam packet resulting from one microwave modulator pulse.
    (4) In machines based on microwave accelerating cavities, the peak

        Technical Note on ``Adjusted Peak Performance'' (``APP'')

    ``APP'' is an adjusted peak rate at which ``digital computers'' 
perform 64-bit or larger floating point additions and multiplications.
    Abbreviations used in this Technical Note
    n number of processors in the ``digital computer''
    I processor number (i . . . . n)
    ti processor cycle time (ti = 1/Fi)
    Fi processor frequency
    Ri peak floating point calculating rate
    Wi architecture adjustment factor
    ``APP'' is expressed in Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT), in units of 10\12\ 
adjusted floating point operations per second.
    Outline of ``APP'' calculation method
    1. For each processor i, determine the peak number of 64-bit or 
larger floating-point operations, FPOi, performed per cycle 
for each processor in the ``digital computer''.
    Note In determining FPO, include only 64-bit or larger floating 
point additions or multiplications. All floating point operations must 
be expressed in operations per processor cycle; operations requiring 
multiple cycles may be expressed in fractional results per cycle. For 
processors not capable of performing calculations on floating-point 
operands of 64-bits or more the effective calculating rate R is zero.
    2. Calculate the floating point rate R for each processor
    Ri = FPOi/ti.
    3. Calculate ``APP'' as
    ``APP'' = W1 x R1 + W2 x 
R2 + . . . + Wn x Rn.
    4. For 'vector processors', Wi = 0.9. For non-'vector 
processors', Wi = 0.3.
    Note 1: For processors that perform compound operations in a cycle, 
such as an addition and multiplication, each operation is counted.
    Note 2: For a pipelined processor the effective calculating rate R 
is the faster of the pipelined rate, once the pipeline is full, or the 
non-pipelined rate.
    Note 3: The calculating rate R of each contributing processor is to 
be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before the 
``APP'' of the combination is derived. Simultaneous operations are 
assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims concurrent, 
parallel, or simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure 
for the computer.
    Note 4: Do not include processors that are limited to input/output 
and peripheral functions (e.g., disk drive, communication and video 
display) when calculating ``APP''.
    Note 5: ``APP'' values are not to be calculated for processor 
combinations(inter)connected by ``Local Area Networks'', Wide Area 
Networks, I/O shared connections/devices, I/O controllers and any 
communication interconnection implemented by ``software''.
    Note 6: ``APP'' values must be calculated for processor combinations 
containing processors ``specially designed'' to enhance performance by 
aggregation, operating simultaneously and sharing memory.
    Technical Notes
    1. Aggregate all processors and accelerators operating 
simultaneously and located on the same die.
    2. Processor combinations share memory when any processor is capable 
of accessing any memory location in the system through the hardware 
transmission of cache lines or memory words, without the involvement of 
any software mechanism, which may be achieved using ``electronic 
assemblies'' specified in 4A003.c.
    Note 7: A 'vector processor' is defined as a processor with built-in 
instructions that perform multiple calculations on floating-point 
vectors (one-dimensional arrays of 64-bit or larger numbers) 
simultaneously, having at least 2 vector functional units and at least 8 
vector registers of at least 64 elements each.

Related Definitions: (1) ``Asynchronous transfer mode'' (``ATM'') is a 
transfer mode in which the information is organized into cells; it is 
asynchronous in the sense that the recurrence of cells depends on the 
required or instantaneous bit rate. (2) ``Bandwidth of one voice 
channel'' is data communication equipment designed to operate in one 
voice channel of 3,100 Hz, as defined in CCITT Recommendation G.151. (3) 
``Communications channel controller'' is the physical interface that 
controls the flow of synchronous or asynchronous digital information. It 
is an assembly that can be integrated into computer or 
telecommunications equipment to provide communications access. (4) 
``Datagram'' is a self-contained, independent entity of data carrying 
sufficient information to be routed from the source to the destination 
data terminal equipment without reliance on earlier exchanges between 
this source and destination data terminal equipment and the transporting 
network. (5) ``Fast select'' is a facility applicable to virtual calls 
that allows data terminal equipment to expand the possibility to 
transmit data in call set-up and clearing ``packets'' beyond the basic 
capabilities of a virtual call. (6) ``Gateway'' is the function, 
realized by any combination of equipment and ``software'', to carry out 
the conversion of conventions for representing, processing or 
communicating information used on one system into the corresponding, but 
different conventions used in another system. (7) ``Integrated Services 
Digital Network'' (ISDN) is a unified end-to-end digital network, in 
which data originating from all types of communication (e.g., voice, 
text, data, still and moving pictures) are transmitted from one port 
(terminal) in the exchange (switch) over one access line to and from the 
subscriber. (8) ``Packet'' is a group of binary digits including data 
and call control signals that is switched as a composite whole. The 
data, call control signals, and possible error control information are 
arranged in a specified format.

authority, across which targeted interception measures are requested 
from a communications service provider and the results of interception 
are delivered from a communications service provider to the requesting 
authority. The 'handover interface' is implemented within systems or 
equipment (e.g., mediation devices) that receive and validate the 
interception request, and deliver to the requesting authority only the 
results of interception that fulfil the validated request.

Replaceable Unit (LRU). The operator then removes the LRU and replaces 
it with a spare.
    (2) ``Maintenance Level II'': The defective LRU is sent to the 
maintenance workshop (the manufacturer's or that of the operator 
responsible for level II maintenance). At the maintenance workshop, the 
malfunctioning LRU is tested by various appropriate means to verify and 
localize the defective Shop Replaceable Assembly (SRA) module 
responsible for the failure. This SRA is removed and replaced by an 
operative spare. The defective SRA (or possibly the complete LRU) is 
then shipped to the manufacturer. `Maintenance Level II' does not

List of Items Controlled
Related Controls: Spacecraft, launch vehicles and related articles that 
are enumerated in the USML, and technical data (including ``software'') 
directly related thereto, and all services (including training) directly 
related to the integration of any satellite or spacecraft to a launch 
vehicle, including both planning and onsite support, or furnishing any 
assistance (including training) in the launch failure analysis or 
investigation for items in ECCN 9A515.a, are ``subject to the ITAR.'' 
All other ``spacecraft,'' as enumerated below and defined in Sec.
772.1, are subject to the controls of this ECCN. See also ECCNs 3A001, 
3A002, 3A991, 3A992, 6A002, 6A004, 6A008, and 6A998 for specific 
``space-qualified'' items, 7A004 and 7A104 for star trackers, and 9A004 
for the International Space Station (ISS), the James Webb Space 
Telescope (JWST), and ``specially designed'' ``parts'' and 
``components'' therefor. See USML Category XI(c) for controls on 
``Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit'' (``MMIC'') amplifiers that 
are ``specially designed'' for defense articles. See ECCN 9A610.g for 
pressure suits used for high altitude aircraft.
Related Definitions: 'Microcircuit' means a device in which a number of 
passive or active elements are considered as indivisibly associated on 
or within a continuous structure to perform the function of a circuit.

Items:
    ``Spacecraft'' and other items described in ECCN 9A515 remain 
subject to the EAR even if exported, reexported, or transferred (in-
country) with defense articles ``subject to the ITAR'' integrated into 
and included therein as integral parts of the item. In all other cases, 
such defense articles are subject to the ITAR. For example, a 9A515.a 
``spacecraft'' remains ``subject to the EAR'' even when it is exported, 
reexported, or transferred (in-country) with a ``hosted payload'' 
described in USML Category XV(e)(17) incorporated therein. In all other 
cases, a ``hosted payload'' performing a function described in USML 
Category XV(a) always remains a

[[Page 1150]]

USML item. The removal of the defense article subject to the ITAR from 
the spacecraft is a retransfer under the ITAR and would require an ITAR 
authorization, regardless of the CCL authorization the spacecraft is 
exported under. Additionally, transfer of technical data regarding the 
defense article subject to the ITAR integrated into the spacecraft would 
require an ITAR authorization.

                            E. ``Technology''

    Note 1: ``Development'' or ``production'' ``technology'' controlled 
by 9E001 to 9E003 for gas turbine engines remains controlled when used 
for repair or overhaul. Excluded from 9E001 to 9E003 control are: 
technical data, drawings or documentation for maintenance activities 
directly associated with calibration, removal or replacement of damaged 
or unserviceable line replaceable units, including replacement of whole 
engines or engine modules.
    Note 2: USML Category XV(f) and ECCNs 9E001, 9E002 and 9E515 do not 
control the data transmitted to or from a satellite or ``spacecraft,'' 
whether real or simulated, when limited to information about the health, 
operational status, or measurements or function of, or raw sensor output 
from, the ``spacecraft,'' ``spacecraft'' payload(s), or its associated 
subsystems or components. Such information is not within the scope of 
information captured within the definition of ``technology'' in the EAR 
for purposes of Category 9 Product Group E. Examples of such 
information, which are commonly referred to as ``housekeeping data,'' 
include (i) system, hardware, component configuration, and operation 
status information pertaining to temperatures, pressures, power, 
currents, voltages, and battery charges; (ii) ``spacecraft'' or payload 
orientation or position information, such as state vector or ephemeris 
information; (iii) payload raw mission or science output, such as 
images, spectra, particle measurements, or field measurements; (iv) 
command responses; (v) accurate timing information; and (vi) link budget 
data. The act of processing such telemetry data--i.e., converting raw 
data into engineering units or readable products--or encrypting it does 
not, in and of itself, cause the telemetry data to become subject to the 
ITAR or to ECCN 9E515 for purposes of 9A515, or to ECCNs 9E001 or 9E002 
for purposes of 9A004. All classified technical data directly related to 
items controlled in USML Category XV or ECCNs 9A515, and defense 
services using the classified technical data remains subject to the 
ITAR. This note does not affect controls in USML XV(f), ECCN 9D515, or 
ECCN 9E515 on software source code or commands that control a 
``spacecraft,'' payload, or associated subsystems for purposes of 9A515. 
This note also does not affect controls in ECCNs 9D001, 9D002, 9E001, or 
9E002 on software source code or commands that control a ``spacecraft,'' 
payload, or associated subsystems for purposes of 9A004.

Sec. Supplement No. 2 to Part 774--General Technology and Software Notes

    1. General Technology Note. The export of ``technology'' that is 
``required'' for the ``development'', ``production'', or ``use'' of 
items on the Commerce Control List is controlled according to the 
provisions in each Category.
    ``Technology'' ``required'' for the ``development'', ``production'', 
or ``use'' of a controlled product remains controlled even when 
applicable to a product controlled at a lower level.
    License Exception TSU is available for ``technology'' that is the 
minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance 
(checking), or repair of those products that are eligible for License 
Exceptions or that are exported under a license.

    N.B.: This does not allow release under a License Exception of the 
repair ``technology'' controlled by 1E002.e, 1E002.f, 8E002.a, or 
8E002.b.
    N.B.: The ``minimum necessary'' excludes ``development'' or 
``production'' technology and permits ``use'' technology only to the 
extent ``required'' to ensure safe and efficient use of the product. 
Individual ECCNs may further restrict export of ``minimum necessary'' 
information.

    2. General Software Note. License Exception TSU (mass market 
software) (see Sec.740.13 of the EAR) is available to all 
destinations, except countries in Country Group E:1 of Supplement No. 1 
to part 740 of the EAR, for release of ``software'' which is any of the 
following:
    1. Generally available to the public by being:
    a. Sold from stock at retail selling points, without restriction, by 
means of:
    1. Over the counter transactions;
    2. Mail order transactions;
    3. Electronic transactions; or
    4. Telephone call transactions; and
    b. Designed for installation by the user without further substantial 
support by the supplier.
    2. [Reserved] See Sec.734.3(b)(3) for ``publicly available 
technology and software.''
    3. The minimum necessary ``object code'' for the installation, 
operation, maintenance (checking) or repair of those items whose export 
has been authorized.

    3. General ``Information Security'' Note. ``Information security'' 
items or functions should be considered against the provisions in 
Category 5-Part 2, even if they are components, ``software'' or 
functions of other items.
    Note: Minimum necessary ``object code'' does not enhance or improve 
the performance of an item or provide new features or functionality.
    Note: The General Software Note does not apply to ``software'' 
controlled by Category 5, part 2 ``Information Security''). For 
``software'' controlled by Category 5, part 2, see

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

    (a) Statement of Understanding--medical equipment. Commodities that 
are ````specially designed'' for medical end-use'' that ``incorporate'' 
commodities or software on the Commerce Control List (Supplement No. 1 
to part 774 of the EAR) that do not have a reason for control of Nuclear 
Nonproliferation (NP), Missile Technology (MT), or Chemical & Biological 
Weapons (CB) are designated by the number EAR99 (i.e., are not elsewhere 
specified on the Commerce Control List).

    Notes to paragraph (a): (1) ``Specially designed for medical end-
use'' means designed for medical treatment or the practice of medicine 
(does not include medical research).
    (2) Commodities or software are considered ``incorporated'' if the 
commodity or software is: Essential to the functioning of the medical 
equipment; customarily included in the sale of the medical equipment; 
and exported or reexported with the medical equipment.
    (3) Except for such software that is made publicly available 
consistent with Sec.734.3(b)(3) of the EAR, commodities and software 
``specially designed for medical end-use'' remain subject to the EAR.
    (4) See also Sec.770.2(b) interpretation 2, for other types of 
equipment that incorporate items on the Commerce Control List that are 
subject to the EAR.
    (5) For computers used with medical equipment, see also ECCN 4A003 
note 2 regarding the ``principal element'' rule.
    (6) For commodities and software ``specially designed'' for medical 
end-use that incorporate an encryption or other ``information security'' 
item subject to the EAR, see also section 3 (General ``Information 
Security'' Note (GISN)) to Supplement No. 2 to this part.

    (b) Statement of Understanding--Source Code. For the purpose of 
national security controlled items, ``source code'' items are controlled 
either by ``software'' or by ``software'' and ``technology'' controls, 
except when such ``source code'' items are explicitly decontrolled.
    (c) Category 5--Part 2--Note 4 Statement of Understanding. All items 
previously described by Notes (b), (c) and (h) to 5A002 are now 
described by Note 4 to Category 5--Part 2. Note (h) to 5A002 prior to 
June 25, 2010 stated that the following was not controlled by 5A002:
    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 (Note 3 in Category 5, Part 2), 
where the servicing equipment meets all of the following:
    (1) The cryptographic functionality of the servicing equipment 
cannot easily be changed by the user of the equipment;
    (2) The servicing equipment is designed for installation without 
further substantial support by the supplier; and
    (3) The servicing equipment cannot change the cryptographic 
functionality of the device being serviced.
    (d) Statement of Understanding--Used Goods. The specifications in 
the Commerce Control List apply equally to new or used goods. In the 
case of used goods, an evaluation by the Bureau of Industry and Security 
may be carried out in order to assess whether the goods are capable of 
meeting the relevant specifications.

Sec. Supplement No. 4 to Part 774--Commerce Control List Order
of Review

    (a) As described in EAR Sec.734.3, the EAR govern only items 
``subject to the EAR,'' e.g., items not subject to the exclusive 
jurisdiction of another agency. Thus, for example, if an item is 
described in the U.S. Munitions List (USML) (22 CFR Part 121) of the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR Parts 120-130), 
including one of its catch-all paragraphs, then the item is a ``defense 
article'' subject to the ITAR and there is no need to review the CCL 
with respect to whether it describes the item. See 22 CFR Sec.120.6 
(``Defense article means any item or technical data designated in Sec.
121.1 of the ITAR. The policy described in Sec.120.3 is applicable to 
designations of additional items''). If an item is not described on the 
USML and is otherwise ``subject to the EAR,'' then work through each of 
the following steps to determine where the item is covered by the CCL 
or, if it is not covered by the CCL, and is therefore designated as 
EAR99.
    (1) Step 1. To classify an item ``subject to the EAR'' against the 
CCL, review the general characteristics of the item. This will usually 
guide you to the appropriate category (0 through 9) on the CCL.
    (2) Step 2. Once the potentially applicable CCL categories are 
identified, determine which product group within the CCL category or 
categories--i.e., A, B, C, D, or E--is applicable to the item.
    (3) Step 3. The ``600 series'' describes military items that were 
once subject to the ITAR. The 9x515 ECCNs describe ``spacecraft,'' 
related items, and some radiation-

[[Page 1181]]

hardened microelectronic circuits that were once subject to the ITAR 
under USML Category XV. Just as the ITAR effectively trumps the EAR, 
items described in a 9x515 ECCN or ``600 series'' ECCN trump other ECCNs 
on the CCL. Thus, the next step in conducting a classification analysis 
of an item ``subject to the EAR'' is to determine whether it is 
described in a 9x515 ECCN or ``600 series'' ECCN paragraph other than a 
``catch-all'' paragraph such as a ``.x'' paragraph that controls 
unspecified ``parts'' and ``components'' ``specially designed'' for 
items in that ECCN or the corresponding USML paragraph. If so, the item 
is classified under that 9x515 ECCN or ``600 series'' ECCN paragraph 
even if it would also be described in another ECCN.
    (4) Step 4. If the item is not described in a 9x515 ECCN or ``600 
series'' ECCN, then determine whether the item is classified under a 
9x515 ECCN or ``600 series'' catch-all paragraph, i.e., one that 
controls non-specific ``parts,'' ``components,'' ``accessories,'' and 
``attachments'' ``specially designed'' for items in that ECCN or the 
corresponding USML paragraph. Such items are generally in the ``.x'' 
paragraph of ECCN 9A515 or a ``600 series'' ECCN.
    (i) Step 4.a. Determine whether the item would meet the criteria of 
either paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of the ``specially designed'' 
definition in Sec.772.1 of the EAR. (These are informally known as the 
``catch'' paragraphs.) If not applicable, then the item is not within 
the scope of the ECCN paragraph that contains a ``specially designed'' 
control parameter. Skip to Step 5.
    (ii) Step 4.b. If the item meets the criteria of either paragraph 
(a)(1) or (a)(2) of the ``specially designed'' definition, then 
determine whether any of the provisions of paragraph (b) of the 
``specially designed'' definition would apply. (These are informally 
known as the ``release'' provisions.) If so, then the item is not within 
the scope of the ECCN paragraph that contains a ``specially designed'' 
control parameter.

    Note to paragraph (a)(4): The emphasis on the word ``control'' in 
Steps 4.a and 4.b is deliberate. Some ECCNs use ``specially designed'' 
as a de-control parameter. If an item would not be classified under a 
particular ECCN because it falls within the scope of either subparagraph 
(a)(1) or (a)(2) of the ``specially designed'' definition, then there is 
no need to analyze whether any element of paragraph (b) of the 
definition would apply to the item. One needs only review the 
``release'' provisions in paragraph (b) of the ``specially designed'' 
definition if paragraph (a) of the ``specially designed'' definition 
applies to the item in a ``control'' paragraph of an ECCN that uses the 
term ``specially designed.''

    (5) Step 5. If an item is not classified by a ``600 series'' or in a 
9x515 ECCN, then starting from the beginning of the product group 
analyze each ECCN to determine whether any other ECCN in that product 
group describes the item. If any ECCN uses the term ``specially 
designed,'' see Steps 4.a and 4.b above in paragraphs (a)(4)(i) and 
(a)(4)(ii) respectively. If the item is described in one of these ECCNs, 
then the item is classified under that ECCN.
    (6) Step 6. If the item is not described under any ECCN of any 
category of the CCL, then the item is designated as EAR99. EAR99 items 
may require a license if destined for a prohibited or restricted end 
user, end use or destination. See paragraphs (g) through (n) of Sec.
732.3 ``Steps Regarding the Ten General Prohibitions,'' or General 
Prohibitions Four through Ten of part 736 of the EAR for license 
requirements other than those imposed by the CCL.

Sec.781.2  Purposes of the Additional Protocol and APR.

    (a) General. The Additional Protocol is a supplement to the existing 
U.S.-IAEA Safeguards Agreement, which entered into force in 1980. It 
provides the IAEA with access to additional information about civil 
nuclear and nuclear-related items, materials, and activities and with 
physical access to reportable locations where nuclear facilities, 
materials, or ores are located (to ensure the absence of undeclared 
nuclear material and activities) and to other reportable locations and 
locations specified by the IAEA (to resolve questions or inconsistencies 
related to the U.S. Declaration). The Additional Protocol is based upon 
and is virtually identical to the IAEA Model Additional Protocol (see 
IAEA Information Circular, INFCIRC/540, at http://www.iaea.org/
Publications /Documents/Infcircs/index.html), except that it excludes 
IAEA access to activities with direct national security significance to 
the United States, or to locations or information associated with such 
activities, and provides for managed access in connection with those 
same activities and to locations or information associated with those 
activities.
    (b) Purposes of the Additional Protocol. The Additional Protocol is 
designed to enhance the effectiveness of the U.S.-IAEA Safeguards 
Agreement by providing the IAEA with information about aspects of the 
U.S. civil nuclear fuel cycle, including: Mining and concentration of 
nuclear ores; nuclear-related equipment manufacturing, assembly, or 
construction; imports, exports, and other activities involving certain 
source material (i.e., source material that has not reached the 
composition and purity suitable for fuel fabrication or for being 
isotopically enriched); imports and exports of specified nuclear 
equipment and non-nuclear material; nuclear fuel cycle-related research 
and development activities not involving nuclear material; and other 
activities involving nuclear material not currently subject to the U.S.-
IAEA Safeguards Agreement (e.g., nuclear material that has been exempted 
from safeguards pursuant to paragraph 37 of INFCIRC/153 (Corrected) June 
1972).
    (c) Purposes of the Additional Protocol Regulations. To fulfill 
certain obligations of the United States under the Additional Protocol, 
BIS has established the APR, which require the reporting of information 
to BIS (as described in parts 783 and 784 of the APR) from all persons 
and locations in the United States (as described in Sec.781.3(a) of 
the APR) with reportable activities. This information, together with 
information reported to other U.S. Government agencies and less any 
information to which the U.S. Government applies the national security 
exclusion, is aggregated into a U.S. declaration, which is submitted 
annually to the IAEA. The APR also provide for complementary access at 
such locations in accordance with the provisions in part 784 of the APR.



Sec.781.3  Scope of the APR.

    The Additional Protocol Regulations or APR implement certain 
obligations of the United States under the Protocol Additional to the 
Agreement Between the United States of America and the International 
Atomic Energy Agency Concerning the Application of Safeguards in the 
United States of America, known as the Additional Protocol.
    (a) Persons and locations subject to the APR. The APR, promulgated 
by the Department of Commerce, shall apply to all persons and locations 
in the United States, except:
    (1) Locations that are subject to the regulatory authority of the 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), pursuant to the NRC's regulatory 
jurisdiction under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 
2011 et seq.); and
    (2) The following United States Government locations (see definition 
in Sec.781.1 of the APR):
    (i) Department of Energy locations;
    (ii) Department of Defense locations;
    (iii) Central Intelligence Agency locations; and
    (iv) Department of State locations.
    (b) Activities subject to the APR. The activities that are subject 
to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements described in the APR are 
found in parts 783 and 784 of this subchapter (APR).

[[Page 1193]]



Sec.781.4  U.S. Government requests for information needed to satisfy 
the requirements of the APR or the Act.

    From time-to-time, one or more U.S. Government agencies (i.e., the 
Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the NRC, or BIS) may 
contact a location to request information that the U.S. Government has 
determined to be necessary to satisfy certain requirements of the APR or 
the Act (e.g., clarification requests or vulnerability assessments). If 
the manner of providing such information is not specified in the APR, 
the agency in question will provide the location with appropriate 
instructions.



Sec.781.5  Authority.

    The APR implement certain provisions of the Additional Protocol 
under the authority of the Additional Protocol Implementation Act of 
2006 (Pub. L. 109-401, 120 Stat. 2726 (December 18, 2006)). In Executive 
Order 13458 of February 4, 2008, the President delegated authority to 
the Department of Commerce to promulgate regulations to implement the 
Act, and consistent with the Act, to carry out appropriate functions not 
otherwise assigned in the Act, but necessary to implement certain 
declaration and complementary access requirements of the Additional 
Protocol and the Act.

Sec.782.1  Overview of reporting requirements under the APR.

    Part 783 of the APR describes the reporting requirements for certain 
activities specified in the APR. For each activity specified in part 
783, BIS may require that an Initial Report, an Annual Update Report, a 
No Changes Report, an Import Confirmation Report, a Supplemental 
Information Report, or an Amended Report be submitted to BIS. In 
addition, persons subject to the APR may be required to provide BIS with 
information needed to assist the IAEA in clarifying or verifying 
information specified in the U.S. declaration or in clarifying or 
amplifying information concerning the nature of the activities conducted 
at a location (see Sec. Sec.783.1(d) and 784.1(b)(2) of the APR for 
requirements concerning a Supplemental Information Report). If, after 
reviewing part 783 of the APR, you determine that you are subject to one 
or more APR reporting requirements, you may obtain the appropriate forms 
by contacting BIS (see Sec.782.5 of the APR). In addition, forms may 
be downloaded from the Internet at http://www.ap.gov.



Sec.782.2  Persons responsible for submitting reports required under
the APR.

    The owner, operator, or senior management official of a location 
subject to the reporting requirements in part 783 of the APR is 
responsible for the submission of all required reports and documents in 
accordance with all applicable provisions of the APR.



Sec.782.3  Compliance review.

    Periodically, BIS will request information from persons and 
locations subject to the APR to determine compliance with the reporting 
and recordkeeping requirements set forth herein. Information requested 
may relate to nuclear fuel cycle research and development activities not 
involving nuclear material, nuclear-related manufacturing, assembly or 
construction activities, or uranium hard-rock mining activities as 
described in part 783 of the APR. Any person or location subject to the 
APR and receiving such a request for information must submit a response 
to BIS within 30 calendar days

[[Page 1194]]

of receipt of the request. If the requested information cannot be 
provided to BIS, the response must fully explain the reason why such 
information cannot be provided. If additional time is needed to collect 
the requested information, the person or location should request an 
extension of the submission deadline, before the expiration of the 30-
day time period set by BIS, and include an explanation for why an 
extension is needed. BIS will grant only one extension of the submission 
deadline. The maximum period of time for which BIS will grant an 
extension will be 30 days. Failure to respond to this request could lead 
to an investigation of the person's or location's reporting and 
recordkeeping procedures under the APR.

described in this paragraph (a) on October 31, 2008 or you were engaged 
in any such activities involving uranium hard-rock mines, including 
those that were closed down during calendar year 2008, (up to and 
including October 31, 2008). If you commenced any of the civil nuclear 
fuel cycle-related activities described in this paragraph (a) after 
October 31, 2008, you must submit an Initial Report on these activities 
to BIS no later than January 31 of the year following the calendar year 
in which the activities commenced (see supplement no. 1 to this part). 
You may report these activities as part of your Annual Update Report, in 
lieu of submitting a separate Initial Report, if you also have an Annual 
Update Report requirement that applies to the same location and covers 
the same reporting period (see paragraph (b) of this section). In order 
to satisfy the Initial Report requirements under this paragraph (a), you 
must complete and submit to BIS Form AP-1, Form AP-2, and other 
appropriate Forms, as provided in this paragraph (a).
    (1) Research and development activities not involving nuclear 
material. You must report to BIS any of the civil nuclear fuel cycle-
related research and development activities identified in paragraphs 
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section. Activities subject to these 
APR reporting requirements include research and development activities 
related to safe equipment operations for a nuclear fuel cycle-related 
activity, but do not include activities related to theoretical or basic 
scientific research or to research and development on industrial 
radioisotope applications, medical, hydrological and agricultural 
applications, health and environmental effects and improved maintenance.
    (i) You must complete Form AP-3 and submit it to BIS, as provided in 
Sec.782.6 of the APR, if you conducted any civil nuclear fuel cycle-
related research and development activities defined in Sec.781.1 of 
the APR that:
    (A) Did not involve nuclear material; and
    (B) Were funded, specifically authorized or controlled by, or 
conducted on behalf of, the United States.
    (ii) You must complete Form AP-4 and submit it to BIS, as provided 
in Sec.782.6 of the APR, if you conducted any civil nuclear fuel 
cycle-related research and development activities defined in Sec.781.1 
of the APR that:
    (A) Did not involve nuclear material;
    (B) Were specifically related to enrichment, reprocessing of nuclear 
fuel, or the processing of intermediate or high-level waste containing 
plutonium, high enriched uranium or uranium-233 (where ``processing'' 
involves the separation of elements); and
    (C) Were not funded, specifically authorized or controlled by, or 
conducted on behalf of, the United States.

[[Page 1196]]

    (2) Civil nuclear-related manufacturing, assembly or construction 
activities. You must complete Form AP-5 and submit it to BIS, as 
provided in Sec.782.6 of the APR, if you engaged in any of the 
activities specified in supplement no. 2 to this part.
    (3) Uranium hard-rock mining and ore beneficiation activities. You 
must complete Form AP-6 and submit it to BIS, as provided in Sec.782.6 
of the APR, if your location is either a uranium hard-rock mine or an 
ore beneficiation plant that was in operating or suspended status (see 
Sec.781.1 of the APR for the definitions of ``uranium hard-rock mine'' 
and uranium hard-rock mines in ``operating,'' ``suspended,'' or 
``closed-down'' status).
    (i) The Initial Report requirement for calendar year 2008 applies 
to:
    (A) Uranium hard-rock mines or ore beneficiation plants that were in 
operating or suspended status on October 31, 2008; and
    (B) Uranium hard-rock mines that have changed from operating or 
suspended status to closed-down status during calendar year 2008 (up to 
and including October 31, 2008). Mines that were closed down prior to 
calendar year 2008 and that remain in closed-down status do not have a 
reporting requirement.
    (ii) You are required to submit an Initial Report to BIS, for any 
calendar year that follows calendar year 2008, only if you commenced 
operations at a uranium hard-rock mine or an ore beneficiation plant 
during the previous calendar year (e.g., the commencement of operations 
would include, but not be limited to, the resumption of operations at a 
mine that was previously in ``closed-down'' status). Otherwise, see the 
Annual Update Report and No Changes Report requirements in paragraphs 
(b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section. For example, you must submit an Annual 
Update Report to indicate the closed-down status of any uranium hard-
rock mine that was indicated in your most recent report to be in either 
operating or suspended status, but at which you ceased operations during 
the previous calendar year.
    (b) Annual reporting requirements. You must submit either an Annual 
Update Report or a No Changes Report to BIS, as provided in Sec.782.6 
of the APR, if, during the previous calendar year, you continued to 
engage in civil nuclear fuel cycle-related activities at a location for 
which you submitted an Initial Report to BIS in accordance with the APR 
reporting requirements described in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (1) Annual Update Report. You must submit an Annual Update Report to 
BIS if you have updates or changes to report concerning your location's 
activities during the previous calendar year. When preparing your Annual 
Update Report, you must complete the same report forms that you used for 
submitting your Initial Report on these activities. However, additional 
report forms will be required if your location engaged in any civil 
nuclear fuel cycle-related activities described in paragraph (a) of this 
section that you did not previously report to BIS. The appropriate 
report forms for each type of activity that must be reported under the 
APR are identified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of this section. 
You must submit your Annual Update Report to BIS no later than January 
31 of the year following any calendar year in which the activities took 
place or there were changes to previously ``reported'' activities (see 
supplement no. 1 to this part).
    (2) No Changes Report. You may submit a No Changes Report, in lieu 
of an Annual Update Report, if you have no updates or changes concerning 
your location's activities (except the certifying official and dates 
signed and submitted) since your most recent report of activities to 
BIS. In order to satisfy the reporting requirements under this paragraph 
(b)(2), you must complete Form AP-16 and submit it to BIS, as provided 
in Sec.782.6 of the APR, no later than January 31 of the year 
following any calendar year in which there were no changes to previously 
``reported'' activities or location information (see supplement no. 1 to 
this part).
    (3) Additional guidance on annual reporting requirements. (i) If 
your Initial Report or your most recent Annual Update Report for a 
location indicates that all civil nuclear fuel cycle-related activities 
described therein have ceased at that location, and no other reportable 
activities have occurred during

[[Page 1197]]

the previous calendar year, then you do not have a reporting requirement 
for the location under paragraph (b) of this section.
    (ii) If your location ceases to engage in activities subject to the 
APR reporting requirements described in paragraph (a) of this section, 
and you have not previously reported this to BIS, you must submit an 
Annual Update Report covering the calendar year in which you ceased to 
engage in such activities.
    (iii) Closed-down mines should be reported only once.
    (c) Import Confirmation Report. You must complete Forms AP-1, AP-2 
and AP-14 for each import of equipment or non-nuclear material 
identified in supplement no. 3 to this part and submit these forms to 
BIS, as provided in Sec.782.6 of the APR, if BIS sends you written 
notification requiring that you provide information concerning imports 
of such equipment and non-nuclear material. These Forms must be 
submitted within 30 calendar days of the date that you receive written 
notification of this requirement from BIS (see supplement no. 1 to this 
part). BIS will provide such notification when it receives a request 
from the IAEA for information concerning imports of this type of 
equipment or non-nuclear material. The IAEA may request this information 
to verify that you received specified equipment or non-nuclear material 
that was shipped to you by a person, organization, or government from a 
foreign country.
    (d) Supplemental Information Report. You must complete Forms AP-1, 
AP-2 and AP-15 and submit them to BIS, as provided in Sec.782.6 of the 
APR, if BIS sends you written notification requiring that you provide 
information about the activities conducted at your location, insofar as 
relevant for the purpose of safeguards. These Forms must be submitted 
within 15 calendar days of the date that you receive written 
notification of this requirement from BIS (see supplement no. 1 to this 
part). BIS will provide such notification only if the IAEA specifically 
requests amplification or clarification concerning any information 
provided in the U.S. Declaration based on your report(s).
    (e) Reportable location. A location that must submit an Initial 
Report, Annual Update Report, or No Changes Report to BIS, pursuant to 
the requirements of this section, is considered to be a reportable 
location with declared activities.



Sec.783.2  Amended reports.

    In order for BIS to maintain accurate information on previously 
submitted reports, including information necessary for BIS to facilitate 
complementary access notifications or to communicate reporting 
requirements under the APR, Amended Reports are required under the 
circumstances described in paragraphs (a), (b), and (d) of this section. 
This section applies only to changes affecting Initial Reports and 
Annual Update Reports that were submitted to BIS in accordance with the 
requirements of Sec.783.1(a) and (b) of the APR. The specific report 
forms that you must use to prepare and submit an Amended Report will 
depend upon the type of information that you are required to provide, 
pursuant to this section.
    (a) Changes to activity information. You must submit an Amended 
Report to BIS within 30 calendar days of the time that you discover an 
error or omission in your most recent Initial Report or Annual Update 
Report that involves information concerning an activity subject to the 
reporting requirements described in Sec.783.1(a) or (b) of the APR. 
Use Form AP-1, and any applicable report forms indicated for the 
activities identified in Sec.783.1(a) of the APR, to prepare your 
Amended Report. Submit your Amended Report to BIS, as provided in Sec.
782.6 of the APR.
    (b) Changes to organization and location information that must be 
maintained by BIS--(1) Internal organization changes. You must submit an 
Amended Report to BIS within 30 calendar days of any change in the 
following information (use Form AP-1 to prepare your Amended Report and 
submit it to BIS, as provided in Sec.782.6 of the APR):
    (i) Name of report point of contact (R-POC), including telephone 
number, facsimile number, and e-mail address;
    (ii) Name(s) of complementary access point(s) of contact (A-POC), 
including

[[Page 1198]]

telephone number(s), facsimile number(s) and e-mail address(es);
    (iii) Organization name;
    (iv) Organization mailing address;
    (v) Location owner, including telephone number, and facsimile 
number; or
    (vi) Location operator, including telephone number, and facsimile 
number.
    (2) Change in ownership of organization. You must submit an Amended 
Report to BIS if you sold a reportable location or if your reportable 
location went out of business since submitting your most recent Initial 
Report, Annual Update Report, or No Changes Report to BIS. You must also 
submit an Amended Report to BIS if you purchased a reportable location 
that submitted an Initial Report, Annual Update Report, or No Changes 
Report to BIS for the most recent reporting period, as specified in 
Sec.783.1(a) and (b) of the APR. Submit your Amended Report to BIS, as 
provided in Sec.782.6 of the APR, either before the effective date of 
the change in ownership or within 30 calendar days after the effective 
date of the change.
    (i) The following information must be included in an Amended Report 
submitted to BIS by an organization that is selling or that has sold a 
reportable location (use Forms AP-1 and AP-16 to prepare your Amended 
Report--address specific details regarding the sale of a reportable 
location in Form AP-16):
    (A) Name of seller (i.e., name of the organization selling a 
reportable location);
    (B) Reporting Code (this code will be assigned to your location and 
reported to you by BIS after receipt of your Initial Report);
    (C) Name of purchaser (i.e., name of the new organization/owner 
purchasing a reportable location) and name and address of contact person 
for the purchaser, if known;
    (D) Date of ownership transfer or change;
    (E) Additional details on the sale of the reportable location 
relevant to ownership or operational control over any portion of the 
reportable location (e.g., whether the entire location or only a portion 
of the reportable location has been sold to a new owner); and
    (F) Details regarding whether the new owner of a reportable location 
will submit the next report for the entire calendar year in which the 
ownership change occurred, or whether the previous owner and new owner 
will submit separate reports for the periods of the calendar year during 
which each owned the reportable location.
    (ii) The following information must be included in an Amended Report 
submitted to BIS by an organization that is purchasing or that has 
purchased a reportable location (use Forms AP-1 and AP-2 to prepare your 
Amended Report):
    (A) Name of purchaser (i.e., name of the new organization/owner 
purchasing a reportable location) and name and address of contact person 
for the purchaser;
    (B) Details on the purchase of the reportable location relevant to 
ownership or operational control over any portion of the reportable 
location (e.g., whether the purchaser intends to purchase and to 
maintain operational control over the entire location or only a portion 
of the reportable location); and
    (C) Details on whether the purchaser intends to continue existing 
civil nuclear fuel cycle-related activities at the reportable location 
or to cease such activities during the current reporting period.
    (iii) If the new owner of a reportable location is responsible for 
submitting a report that covers the entire calendar year in which the 
ownership change occurred, the new owner must obtain and maintain 
possession of the location's records covering the entire year, including 
those records for the period of the year during which the previous owner 
still owned the property.

    Note 1 to Sec.783.2(b): Amended Reports that are submitted to 
identify changes involving internal organization information or changes 
in ownership are used only for internal U.S. Government purposes and are 
not forwarded to the IAEA. BIS uses the information it obtains from 
Amended Reports to update contact information for internal oversight 
purposes and for IAEA complementary access notifications.
    Note 2 to Sec.783.2(b): For ownership changes, the reportable 
location will maintain its original Reporting Code, unless the location 
is sold to multiple owners, at which time BIS will assign a new 
Reporting Code.


[[Page 1199]]


    (c) Non-substantive changes. If you discover one or more non-
substantive typographical errors in your Initial Report or Annual Update 
Report, after submitting the report to BIS, you are not required to 
submit an Amended Report to BIS. Instead, you may correct these errors 
when you submit your next Annual Update Report to BIS.
    (d) Amendments related to complementary access. If you are required 
to submit an Amended Report to BIS following the completion of 
complementary access (see Part 784 of the APR), BIS will notify you, in 
writing, of the information that must be amended pursuant to Sec.784.6 
of the APR. Complete and submit Form AP-1 (organization information) 
and/or the specific report forms required by section 783.1(a) or (b) of 
the APR, according to the type(s) of activities for which information is 
being requested. You must submit your Amended Report to BIS, as provided 
in Sec.782.6 of the APR, no later than 30 calendar days following your 
receipt of BIS's post complementary access letter.
    (e) Option for submitting amended reports in letter form. If you are 
required to submit an Amended Report to BIS, pursuant to paragraph (a), 
(b), or (d) of this section, BIS may permit you to submit your report in 
the form of a letter that contains all of the corrected information 
required under this section. Your letter must be submitted to BIS, at 
the address indicated in Sec.782.6 of the APR, no later than the 
applicable due date(s) indicated in this section (also see supplement 
no. 1 to this part).



Sec.783.3  Reports containing information determined by BIS not
to be required by the APR.

    If you submit a report and BIS determines that none of the 
information contained therein is required by the APR, BIS will not 
process the report and will notify you, either electronically or in 
writing, explaining the basis for its decision. BIS will not maintain 
any record of the report. However, BIS will maintain a copy of the 
notification.



Sec.783.4  Deadlines for submission of reports and amendments.

 Sec. Supplement No. 3 to Part 783--List of Specified Equipment and Non-
              Nuclear Material for the Reporting of Imports

                   1. Reactors and equipment therefor

                     1.1. Complete nuclear reactors

    Nuclear reactors capable of operation so as to maintain a controlled 
self-sustaining fission chain reaction, excluding zero energy reactors, 
the latter being defined as reactors with a designed maximum rate of 
production of plutonium not exceeding 100 grams per year.

    Explanatory Note: A ``nuclear reactor'' basically includes the items 
within or attached directly to the reactor vessel, the equipment which 
controls the level of power in the core, and the components which 
normally contain or come in direct contact with or control the primary 
coolant of the reactor core. It is not intended to exclude reactors 
which could reasonably be capable of modification to produce 
significantly more than 100 grams of plutonium per year. Reactors 
designed for sustained operation at significant power levels, regardless 
of their capacity for plutonium production, are not considered as ``zero 
energy reactors.''

                      1.2. Reactor pressure vessels

    Metal vessels, as complete units or as major shop-fabricated parts 
therefor, which are specially designed or prepared to contain the core 
of a nuclear reactor, as defined in section 1.1, and are capable of 
withstanding the operating pressure of the primary coolant.
    Explanatory Note: This is the list that the IAEA Board of Governors 
agreed at its meeting on 24 February 1993 would be used for the purpose 
of the voluntary reporting scheme, as subsequently amended by the Board. 
A top plate for a reactor pressure vessel is covered by this section 1.2 
as a major shop-fabricated part of a pressure vessel. Reactor internals 
(e.g., support columns and plates for the core and other vessel 
internals, control rod guide tubes, thermal shields, baffles, core grid 
plates, diffuser plates, etc.) are normally supplied by the reactor 
supplier. In some cases, certain internal support components are 
included in the fabrication of the pressure vessel. These items are 
sufficiently critical to the safety and reliability of the operation of 
the reactor (and, therefore, to the guarantees and liability of the 
reactor supplier), so that their supply, outside the basic supply 
arrangement for the reactor itself, would not be common practice. 
Therefore, although the separate supply of these unique, specially 
designed and prepared, critical, large and expensive items would not 
necessarily be considered as falling outside the area of concern, such a 
mode of supply is considered unlikely.

           1.3. Reactor fuel charging and discharging machines

    Manipulative equipment specially designed or prepared for inserting 
or removing fuel in a nuclear reactor, as defined in section 1.1 of this 
Supplement, capable of on-load operation or employing technically 
sophisticated positioning or alignment features to allow complex off-
load fueling operations such as those in which direct viewing of or 
access to the fuel is not normally available.

                        1.4. Reactor control rods

    Rods specially designed or prepared for the control of the reaction 
rate in a nuclear reactor as defined in section 1.1 of this Supplement.
    Explanatory Note: This item includes, in addition to the neutron 
absorbing part, the support or suspension structures therefor if 
supplied separately.

[[Page 1202]]

                       1.5. Reactor pressure tubes

    Tubes which are specially designed or prepared to contain fuel 
elements and the primary coolant in a reactor, as defined in section 1.1 
of this supplement, at an operating pressure in excess of 5.1 MPa (740 
psi).

                          1.6. Zirconium tubes

    Zirconium metal and alloys in the form of tubes or assemblies of 
tubes, and in quantities exceeding 500 kg in any period of 12 months, 
specially designed or prepared for use in a reactor, as defined in 
section 1.1 of this supplement, and in which the relation of hafnium to 
zirconium is less than 1:500 parts by weight.

                       1.7. Primary coolant pumps

    Pumps specially designed or prepared for circulating the primary 
coolant for nuclear reactors, as defined in section 1.1 of this 
Supplement.
    Explanatory Note: Specially designed or prepared pumps may include 
elaborate sealed or multi-sealed systems to prevent leakage of primary 
coolant, canned-driven pumps, and pumps with inertial mass systems. This 
definition encompasses pumps certified to NC-1 or equivalent standards.

                  2. Non-nuclear materials for reactors

                     2.1. Deuterium and heavy water

    Deuterium, heavy water (deuterium oxide) and any other deuterium 
compound in which the ratio of deuterium to hydrogen atoms exceeds 
1:5000 for use in a nuclear reactor, as defined in section 1.1 of this 
supplement, in quantities exceeding 200 kg of deuterium atoms for any 
one recipient country in any period of 12 months.

                       2.2. Nuclear grade graphite

    Graphite having a purity level better than 5 parts per million boron 
equivalent and with a density greater than 1.50 g/cm\3\ for use in a 
nuclear reactor, as defined in section 1.1 of this Supplement, in 
quantities exceeding 3 x 10\4\ kg (30 metric tons) for any one recipient 
country in any period of 12 months.

    Note: For the purpose of reporting, the Government will determine 
whether or not the exports of graphite meeting the specifications of 
this section 2.2 are for nuclear reactor use.

    3. Plants for the reprocessing of irradiated fuel elements, and 
            equipment specially designed or prepared therefor

    Introductory Note: Reprocessing irradiated nuclear fuel separates 
plutonium and uranium from intensely radioactive fission products and 
other transuranic elements. Different technical processes can accomplish 
this separation. However, over the years Purex has become the most 
commonly used and accepted process. Purex involves the dissolution of 
irradiated nuclear fuel in nitric acid, followed by separation of the 
uranium, plutonium, and fission products by solvent extraction using a 
mixture of tributyl phosphate in an organic diluent. Purex facilities 
have process functions similar to each other, including: Irradiated fuel 
element chopping, fuel dissolution, solvent extraction, and process 
liquor storage. There may also be equipment for thermal denitration of 
uranium nitrate, conversion of plutonium nitrate to oxide or metal, and 
treatment of fission product waste liquor to a form suitable for long 
term storage or disposal. However, the specific type and configuration 
of the equipment performing these functions may differ between Purex 
facilities for several reasons, including the type and quantity of 
irradiated nuclear fuel to be reprocessed and the intended disposition 
of the recovered materials, and the safety and maintenance philosophy 
incorporated into the design of the facility. A ``plant for the 
reprocessing of irradiated fuel elements'' includes the equipment and 
components which normally come in direct contact with and directly 
control the irradiated fuel and the major nuclear material and fission 
product processing streams. These processes, including the complete 
systems for plutonium conversion and plutonium metal production, may be 
identified by the measures taken to avoid criticality (e.g., by 
geometry), radiation exposure (e.g., by shielding), and toxicity hazards 
(e.g., by containment). Items of equipment that are considered to fall 
within the meaning of the phrase ``and equipment specially designed or 
prepared'' for the reprocessing of irradiated fuel elements include:

             3.1. Irradiated fuel element chopping machines

    Introductory Note: This equipment breaches the cladding of the fuel 
to expose the irradiated nuclear material to dissolution. Specially 
designed metal cutting shears are the most commonly employed, although 
advanced equipment, such as lasers, may be used. Remotely operated 
equipment specially designed or prepared for use in a reprocessing 
plant, as identified in the introductory paragraph of this section, and 
intended to cut, chop or shear irradiated nuclear fuel assemblies, 
bundles or rods.

                             3.2. Dissolvers

    Introductory Note: Dissolvers normally receive the chopped-up spent 
fuel. In these critically safe vessels, the irradiated nuclear material 
is dissolved in nitric acid and the remaining hulls removed from the 
process stream. Critically safe tanks (e.g., small diameter, annular or 
slab tanks) specially designed or prepared for use in a reprocessing

[[Page 1203]]

plant, as identified in the introductory paragraph of this section, 
intended for dissolution of irradiated nuclear fuel and which are 
capable of withstanding hot, highly corrosive liquid, and which can be 
remotely loaded and maintained.

        3.3. Solvent extractors and solvent extraction equipment

    Introductory Note: Solvent extractors both receive the solution of 
irradiated fuel from the dissolvers and the organic solution which 
separates the uranium, plutonium, and fission products. Solvent 
extraction equipment is normally designed to meet strict operating 
parameters, such as long operating lifetimes with no maintenance 
requirements or adaptability to easy replacement, simplicity of 
operation and control, and flexibility for variations in process 
conditions. Specially designed or prepared solvent extractors such as 
packed or pulse columns, mixer settlers or centrifugal contactors for 
use in a plant for the reprocessing of irradiated fuel. Solvent 
extractors must be resistant to the corrosive effect of nitric acid. 
Solvent extractors are normally fabricated to extremely high standards 
(including special welding and inspection and quality assurance and 
quality control techniques) out of low carbon stainless steels, 
titanium, zirconium, or other high quality materials.

                3.4. Chemical holding or storage vessels

    Introductory Note: Three main process liquor streams result from the 
solvent extraction step. Holding or storage vessels are used in the 
further processing of all three streams, as follows:
    (a) The pure uranium nitrate solution is concentrated by evaporation 
and passed to a denitration process where it is converted to uranium 
oxide. This oxide is re-used in the nuclear fuel cycle.
    (b) The intensely radioactive fission products solution is normally 
concentrated by evaporation and stored as a liquor concentrate. This 
concentrate may be subsequently evaporated and converted to a form 
suitable for storage or disposal.
    (c) The pure plutonium nitrate solution is concentrated and stored 
pending its transfer to further process steps. In particular, holding or 
storage vessels for plutonium solutions are designed to avoid 
criticality problems resulting from changes in concentration and form of 
this stream. Specially designed or prepared holding or storage vessels 
for use in a plant for the reprocessing of irradiated fuel. The holding 
or storage vessels must be resistant to the corrosive effect of nitric 
acid. The holding or storage vessels are normally fabricated of 
materials such as low carbon stainless steels, titanium or zirconium, or 
other high quality materials. Holding or storage vessels may be designed 
for remote operation and maintenance and may have the following features 
for control of nuclear criticality: (1) Walls or internal structures 
with a boron equivalent of at least two percent; (2) a maximum diameter 
of 175 mm (7 in) for cylindrical vessels; or (3) a maximum width of 75 
mm (3 in) for either a slab or annular vessel.

            3.5. Plutonium nitrate to oxide conversion system

    Introductory Note: In most reprocessing facilities, this final 
process involves the conversion of the plutonium nitrate solution to 
plutonium dioxide. The main functions involved in this process are: 
process feed storage and adjustment, precipitation and solid/liquor 
separation, calcination, product handling, ventilation, waste 
management, and process control. Complete systems specially designed or 
prepared for the conversion of plutonium nitrate to plutonium oxide, in 
particular adapted so as to avoid criticality and radiation effects and 
to minimize toxicity hazards.

             3.6. Plutonium oxide to metal production system

    Introductory Note: This process, which could be related to a 
reprocessing facility, involves the fluorination of plutonium dioxide, 
normally with highly corrosive hydrogen fluoride, to produce plutonium 
fluoride which is subsequently reduced using high purity calcium metal 
to produce metallic plutonium and a calcium fluoride slag. The main 
functions involved in this process are: fluorination (e.g., involving 
equipment fabricated or lined with a precious metal), metal reduction 
(e.g., employing ceramic crucibles), slag recovery, product handling, 
ventilation, waste management and process control. Complete systems 
specially designed or prepared for the production of plutonium metal, in 
particular adapted so as to avoid criticality and radiation effects and 
to minimize toxicity hazards.

             4. Plants for the fabrication of fuel elements

    A ``plant for the fabrication of fuel elements'' includes the 
equipment:
    (a) Which normally comes in direct contact with, or directly 
processes, or controls, the production flow of nuclear material, or
    (b) Which seals the nuclear material within the cladding.

5. Plants for the separation of isotopes of uranium and equipment, other 
  than analytical instruments, specially designed or prepared therefor

    Items of equipment that are considered to fall within the meaning of 
the phrase

[[Page 1204]]

``equipment, other than analytical instruments, specially designed or 
prepared'' for the separation of isotopes of uranium include:

5.1. Gas centrifuges and assemblies and components specially designed or 
                   prepared for use in gas centrifuges

    Introductory Note: The gas centrifuge normally consists of a thin-
walled cylinder(s) of between 75 mm (3 in) and 400 mm (16 in) diameter 
contained in a vacuum environment and spun at high peripheral speed of 
the order of 300 m/s or more with its central axis vertical. In order to 
achieve high speed the materials of construction for the rotating 
components have to be of a high strength to density ratio and the rotor 
assembly, and hence its individual components, have to be manufactured 
to very close tolerances in order to minimize the unbalance. In contrast 
to other centrifuges, the gas centrifuge for uranium enrichment is 
characterized by having within the rotor chamber a rotating disc-shaped 
baffle(s) and a stationary tube arrangement for feeding and extracting 
the UF6 gas and featuring at least 3 separate channels, of 
which 2 are connected to scoops extending from the rotor axis towards 
the periphery of the rotor chamber. Also contained within the vacuum 
environment are a number of critical items which do not rotate and which 
although they are specially designed are not difficult to fabricate nor 
are they fabricated out of unique materials. A centrifuge facility 
however requires a large number of these components, so that quantities 
can provide an important indication of end use.

                       5.1.1. Rotating components

    (a) Complete rotor assemblies: Thin-walled cylinders, or a number of 
interconnected thin-walled cylinders, manufactured from one or more of 
the high strength to density ratio materials described in the 
Explanatory Note to section 5.1.1 of this supplement. If interconnected, 
the cylinders are joined together by flexible bellows or rings as 
described in section 5.1.1(c) of this supplement. The rotor is fitted 
with an internal baffle(s) and end caps, as described in section 
5.1.1(d) and (e) of this supplement, if in final form. However the 
complete assembly may be delivered only partly assembled.
    (b) Rotor tubes: Specially designed or prepared thin-walled 
cylinders with thickness of 12 mm (0.5 in) or less, a diameter of 
between 75 mm (3 in) and 400 mm (16 in), and manufactured from one or 
more of the high strength to density ratio materials described in the 
Explanatory Note to section 5.1.1 of this supplement.
    (c) Rings or Bellows: Components specially designed or prepared to 
give localized support to the rotor tube or to join together a number of 
rotor tubes. The bellows is a short cylinder of wall thickness 3 mm 
(0.12 in) or less, a diameter of between 75 mm (3 in) and 400 mm (16 
in), having a convolute, and manufactured from one of the high strength 
to density ratio materials described in the Explanatory Note to section 
5.1.1 of this supplement.
    (d) Baffles: Disc-shaped components of between 75 mm (3 in) and 400 
mm (16 in) diameter specially designed or prepared to be mounted inside 
the centrifuge rotor tube, in order to isolate the take-off chamber from 
the main separation chamber and, in some cases, to assist the 
UF6 gas circulation within the main separation chamber of the 
rotor tube, and manufactured from one of the high strength to density

in) and 400 mm (16 in) diameter specially designed or prepared to fit to 
the ends of the rotor tube, and so contain the UF6 within the 
rotor tube, and in some cases to support, retain or contain as an 
integrated part an element of the upper bearing (top cap) or to carry 
the rotating elements of the motor and lower bearing (bottom cap), and 
manufactured from one of the high strength to density ratio materials 
described in the Explanatory Note to section 5.1.1 of this supplement.

    (a) Magnetic suspension bearings: Specially designed or prepared 
bearing assemblies consisting of an annular magnet suspended within a 
housing containing a damping medium. The housing will be manufactured 
from a UF6-resistant material (see Explanatory Note to 
section 5.2 of this supplement). The magnet couples with a pole piece or 
a second magnet fitted to the top cap described in section 5.1.1(e) of 
this Supplement. The magnet may be ring-shaped with a relation between 
outer and inner diameter smaller or equal to 1.6:1. The magnet may be in 
a form having an initial permeability of

[[Page 1205]]

0.15 H/m (120,000 in CGS units) or more, or a remanence of 98.5% or 
more, or an energy product of greater than 80 kJ/m\3\ (10\7\ gauss-
oersteds). In addition to the usual material properties, it is a 
prerequisite that the deviation of the magnetic axes from the 
geometrical axes is limited to very small tolerances (lower than 0.1 mm 
or 0.004 in) or that homogeneity of the material of the magnet is 
specially called for.
    (b) Bearings/Dampers: Specially designed or prepared bearings 
comprising a pivot/cup assembly mounted on a damper. The pivot is 
normally a hardened steel shaft with a hemisphere at one end with a 
means of attachment to the bottom cap, described in section 5.1.1(e) of 
this Supplement, at the other. The shaft may however have a hydrodynamic 
bearing attached. The cup is pellet-shaped with a hemispherical 
indentation in one surface. These components are often supplied 
separately to the damper.

in) with precision machined ends to locate the bearings and with one or 
more flanges for mounting. The machined ends are parallel to each other 
and perpendicular to the cylinder's longitudinal axis to within 0.05 
degrees or less. The housing may also be a honeycomb type structure to 
accommodate several rotor tubes. The housings are made of or protected 
by materials resistant to corrosion by UF6.
    (f) Scoops: Specially designed or prepared tubes of up to 12 mm (0.5 
in) internal diameter for the extraction of UF6 gas from within the

the circumferential gas flow within the rotor tube, for example by 
bending the end of a radially disposed tube) and capable of being fixed 
to the central gas extraction system. The tubes are made of or protected 
by materials resistant to corrosion by UF6.

  5.2. Specially designed or prepared auxiliary systems, equipment and 
             components for gas centrifuge enrichment plants

    Introductory Note: The auxiliary systems, equipment and components 
for a gas centrifuge enrichment plant are the systems of plant needed to 
feed UF6 to the centrifuges, to link the individual centrifuges to each 
other to form cascades (or stages) to allow for progressively higher 
enrichments and to extract the ``product'' and ``tails'' UF6 from the 
centrifuges, together with the equipment required to drive the 
centrifuges or to control the plant. Normally UF6 is 
evaporated from the solid using heated autoclaves and is distributed in 
gaseous form to the centrifuges by way of cascade header pipework. The 
``product'' and ``tails'' UF6 gaseous streams flowing from 
the centrifuges are also passed by way of cascade header pipework to 
cold traps (operating at about 203 K (-70 [deg]C)) where they are 
condensed prior to onward transfer into suitable containers for 
transportation or storage. Because an enrichment plant consists of many 
thousands of centrifuges arranged in cascades there are many kilometers 
of cascade header pipework, incorporating thousands of welds with a 
substantial amount of repetition of layout. The equipment, components 
and piping systems are fabricated to very high vacuum and cleanliness 
standards.

        5.2.1. Feed systems/product and tails withdrawal systems

    Specially designed or prepared process systems including: Feed 
autoclaves (or stations), used for passing UF6 to the 
centrifuge cascades at up to 100 kPa (15 psi) and at a rate of 1 kg/h or 
more; desublimers (or cold traps) used to remove UF6 from the 
cascades at up to 3 kPa (0.5 psi) pressure. The desublimers are capable 
of being chilled to 203 K (-70 [deg]C) and heated to 343 K (70 [deg]C); 
``Product'' and ``Tails'' stations used for trapping UF6 into 
containers. This plant, equipment and pipework is wholly made of or 
lined with UF6-resistant materials (see Explanatory Note to 
section 5.2 of this Supplement) and is fabricated to very high vacuum 
and cleanliness standards.

                  5.2.2. Machine header piping systems

    Specially designed or prepared piping systems and header systems for 
handling UF6 within the centrifuge cascades. The piping 
network is normally of the ``triple'' header system with each centrifuge 
connected to each of the headers. There is thus a substantial amount of 
repetition in its form. It is wholly made of UF6-resistant 
materials (see Explanatory Note to section 5.2 of this supplement) and 
is fabricated to very high vacuum and cleanliness standards.

    (b) High stability (with frequency control better than 0.1%);
    (c) Low harmonic distortion (less than 2%); and
    (d) An efficiency of greater than 80%.
    Explanatory Note: The items listed in this section 5.2 either come 
into direct contact with the UF6 process gas or directly 
control the centrifuges and the passage of the gas from centrifuge to 
centrifuge and cascade to cascade. Materials resistant to corrosion by 
UF6 include stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum alloys, 
nickel or alloys containing 60% or more nickel.

5.3. Specially designed or prepared assemblies and components for use in 
                      gaseous diffusion enrichment

    Introductory Note: In the gaseous diffusion method of uranium 
isotope separation, the main technological assembly is a special porous 
gaseous diffusion barrier, heat exchanger for cooling the gas (which is 
heated by the process of compression), seal valves and control valves, 
and pipelines. Inasmuch as gaseous diffusion technology uses uranium 
hexafluoride (UF6), all equipment, pipeline and 
instrumentation surfaces (that come in contact with the gas) must be 
made of materials that remain stable in contact with UF6. A 
gaseous diffusion facility requires a number of these assemblies, so 
that quantities can provide an important indication of end use.

                    5.3.1. Gaseous diffusion barriers

    (a) Specially designed or prepared thin, porous filters, with a pore 
size of 100-1,000 [Aring] (angstroms), a thickness of 5 mm (0.2 in) or

metallic, polymer or ceramic materials resistant to corrosion by 
UF6, and
    (b) Specially prepared compounds or powders for the manufacture of 
such filters. Such compounds and powders include nickel or alloys 
containing 60 percent or more nickel, aluminum oxide, or UF6-
resistant fully fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers having a purity of 99.9 
percent or more, a particle size less than 10 microns, and a high degree 
of particle size uniformity, which are specially prepared for the 
manufacture of gaseous diffusion barriers.

                        5.3.2. Diffuser housings

    Specially designed or prepared hermetically sealed cylindrical

(35 in) in length, or rectangular vessels of comparable dimensions, 
which have an inlet connection and two outlet connections all of which 
are greater than 50 mm (2 in) in diameter, for containing the gaseous

materials and designed for horizontal or vertical installation.

in the UF6 environment with or without an electrical motor of 
appropriate power, as well as separate assemblies of such compressors 
and gas blowers. These compressors and gas blowers have a pressure ratio

to UF6.

                        5.3.4. Rotary shaft seals

exhaust connections, for sealing the shaft connecting the compressor or 
the gas blower rotor with the driver motor so as to ensure a reliable 
seal against in-leaking of air into the inner chamber of the compressor 
or gas blower which is filled with UF6. Such seals are 
normally designed for a buffer gas in-leakage rate of less than 1000 
cm\3\/min (60 in\3\/min).

            5.3.5. Heat exchangers for cooling UF6

    Specially designed or prepared heat exchangers made of or lined with 
UF6-resistant materials (except stainless steel) or with 
copper or any combination of those metals, and intended for a leakage 
pressure change rate of less than 10 Pa (0.0015 psi) per hour under a 
pressure difference of 100 kPa (15 psi).

[[Page 1207]]

  5.4. Specially designed or prepared auxiliary systems, equipment and 
           components for use in gaseous diffusion enrichment

    Introductory Note: The auxiliary systems, equipment and components 
for gaseous diffusion enrichment plants are the systems of plant needed 
to feed UF6 to the gaseous diffusion assembly, to link the 
individual assemblies to each other to form cascades (or stages) to 
allow for progressively higher enrichments and to extract the 
``product'' and ``tails'' UF6 from the diffusion cascades. 
Because of the high inertial properties of diffusion cascades, any 
interruption in their operation, and especially their shut-down, leads 
to serious consequences. Therefore, a strict and constant maintenance of 
vacuum in all technological systems, automatic protection from 
accidents, and precise automated regulation of the gas flow is of 
importance in a gaseous diffusion plant. All this leads to a need to 
equip the plant with a large number of special measuring, regulating and 
controlling systems. Normally UF6 is evaporated from 
cylinders placed within autoclaves and is distributed in gaseous form to 
the entry point by way of cascade header pipework. The ``product'' and 
``tails'' UF6 gaseous streams flowing from exit points are 
passed by way of cascade header pipework to either cold traps or to 
compression stations where the UF6 gas is liquefied prior to 
onward transfer into suitable containers for transportation or storage. 
Because a gaseous diffusion enrichment plant consists of a large number 
of gaseous diffusion assemblies arranged in cascades, there are many 
kilometers of cascade header pipework, incorporating thousands of welds 
with substantial amounts of repetition of layout. The equipment, 
components and piping systems are fabricated to very high vacuum and 
cleanliness standards.

        5.4.1. Feed systems/product and tails withdrawal systems

    Specially designed or prepared process systems, capable of operating 
at pressures of 300 kPa (45 psi) or less, including:
    (a) Feed autoclaves (or systems), used for passing UF6 to

    (b) Desublimers (or cold traps) used to remove UF6 from 
diffusion cascades;
    (c) Liquefaction stations where UF6 gas from the cascade 
is compressed and cooled to form liquid UF6;
    (d) ``Product'' or ``tails'' stations used for transferring 
UF6 into containers.

                      5.4.2. Header piping systems

UF6-resistant materials. For the purposes of the sections in 
this supplement relating to gaseous diffusion items, the materials 
resistant to corrosion by UF6 include stainless steel, 
aluminum, aluminum alloys, aluminum oxide, nickel or alloys containing 
60% or more nickel and UF6-resistant fully fluorinated 
hydrocarbon polymers.

 5.5. Specially designed or prepared systems, equipment and components 
                for use in aerodynamic enrichment plants

    Introductory Note: In aerodynamic enrichment processes, a mixture of 
gaseous UF6 and light gas (hydrogen or helium) is compressed 
and then passed through separating elements wherein isotopic separation 
is accomplished by the generation of high centrifugal forces over a 
curved-wall geometry. Two processes of this type have been successfully 
developed: The separation nozzle process and the vortex tube process. 
For

[[Page 1208]]

both processes the main components of a separation stage include 
cylindrical vessels housing the special separation elements (nozzles or 
vortex tubes), gas compressors and heat exchangers to remove the heat of 
compression. An aerodynamic plant requires a number of these stages, so 
that quantities can provide an important indication of end use. Since 
aerodynamic processes use UF6, all equipment, pipeline and 
instrumentation surfaces (that come in contact with the gas) must be 
made of materials that remain stable in contact with UF6.
    Explanatory Note: The items listed in section 5.5 of this Supplement 
either come into direct contact with the UF6 process gas or 
directly control the flow within the cascade. All surfaces which come 
into contact with the process gas are wholly made of or protected by 
UF6-resistant materials. For the purposes of the provisions 
of section 5.5 of this supplement that relate to aerodynamic enrichment 
items, the materials resistant to corrosion by UF6 include 
copper, stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum alloys, nickel or alloys 
containing 60% or more nickel and UF6-resistant fully

    Explanatory Note: The feed gas enters the vortex tube tangentially 
at one end or through swirl vanes or at numerous tangential positions 
along the periphery of the tube.

                   5.5.3. Compressors and gas blowers

 5.6. Specially designed or prepared systems, equipment and components 
     for use in chemical exchange or ion exchange enrichment plants

    Introductory Note: The slight difference in mass between the 
isotopes of uranium causes small changes in chemical reaction equilibria 
that can be used as a basis for separation of the isotopes. Two 
processes have been successfully developed: Liquid-liquid chemical 
exchange and solid-liquid ion exchange. In the liquid-liquid chemical 
exchange process, immiscible liquid phases (aqueous and organic) are 
countercurrently contacted to give the cascading effect of thousands of 
separation stages. The aqueous phase consists of uranium chloride in 
hydrochloric acid solution; the organic phase consists of an extractant 
containing uranium chloride in an organic solvent. The contactors 
employed in the separation cascade can be liquid-liquid exchange columns 
(such as pulsed columns with sieve plates) or liquid centrifugal 
contactors. Chemical conversions (oxidation and reduction) are required 
at both ends of the separation cascade in order to provide for the 
reflux requirements at each end. A major design concern is to avoid 
contamination of the process streams with certain metal ions. Plastic, 
plastic-lined (including use of fluorocarbon polymers) and/or glass-
lined columns and piping are therefore used. In the solid-liquid ion-
exchange process, enrichment is accomplished by uranium adsorption/
desorption on a special, very fast-acting, ion-exchange resin or 
adsorbent. A solution of uranium in hydrochloric acid and other chemical 
agents is passed through cylindrical enrichment columns containing 
packed beds of the adsorbent. For a continuous process, a reflux system 
is necessary to release the uranium from the adsorbent back into the 
liquid flow so that ``product'' and ``tails'' can be collected. This is 
accomplished with the use of suitable reduction/oxidation chemical 
agents that are fully regenerated in separate external circuits and that 
may be partially regenerated within the isotopic separation columns 
themselves. The presence of hot concentrated hydrochloric acid solutions 
in the process requires that the equipment be made of or protected by 
special corrosion-resistant materials.

        5.6.1. Liquid-liquid exchange columns (Chemical exchange)

    Countercurrent liquid-liquid exchange columns having mechanical 
power input (i.e., pulsed columns with sieve plates, reciprocating plate 
columns, and columns with internal turbine mixers), specially designed 
or prepared for uranium enrichment using the chemical exchange process. 
For corrosion resistance to concentrated hydrochloric acid solutions, 
these columns and their internals are made of or protected by suitable 
plastic materials (such as fluorocarbon polymers) or glass. The stage 
residence time of the columns is designed to be short (30 seconds or 
less).

     5.6.2. Liquid-liquid centrifugal contactors (Chemical exchange)

    Liquid-liquid centrifugal contactors specially designed or prepared 
for uranium enrichment using the chemical exchange process. Such 
contactors use rotation to achieve dispersion of the organic and aqueous

[[Page 1210]]

streams and then centrifugal force to separate the phases. For corrosion 
resistance to concentrated hydrochloric acid solutions, the contactors 
are made of or are lined with suitable plastic materials (such as 
fluorocarbon polymers) or are lined with glass. The stage residence time 
of the centrifugal contactors is designed to be short (30 seconds or 
less).

   5.6.3. Uranium reduction systems and equipment (Chemical exchange)

    (a) Specially designed or prepared electrochemical reduction cells 
to reduce uranium from one valence state to another for uranium 
enrichment using the chemical exchange process. The cell materials in 
contact with process solutions must be corrosion resistant to 
concentrated hydrochloric acid solutions.
    Explanatory Note: The cell cathodic compartment must be designed to 
prevent re-oxidation of uranium to its higher valence state. To keep the 
uranium in the cathodic compartment, the cell may have an impervious 
diaphragm membrane constructed of special cation exchange material. The 
cathode consists of a suitable solid conductor such as graphite.
    (b) Specially designed or prepared systems at the product end of the 
cascade for taking the U4+ out of the organic stream, 
adjusting the acid concentration and feeding to the electrochemical 
reduction cells.
    Explanatory Note: These systems consist of solvent extraction 
equipment for stripping the U4+ from the organic stream into 
an aqueous solution, evaporation and/or other equipment to accomplish 
solution pH adjustment and control, and pumps or other transfer devices 
for feeding to the electrochemical reduction cells. A major design 
concern is to avoid contamination of the aqueous stream with certain 
metal ions. Consequently, for those parts in contact with the process 
stream, the system is constructed of equipment made of or protected by 
suitable materials (such as glass, fluorocarbon polymers, polyphenyl 
sulfate, polyether sulfone, and resin-impregnated graphite).

           5.6.4. Feed preparation systems (Chemical exchange)

    Specially designed or prepared systems for producing high-purity 
uranium chloride feed solutions for chemical exchange uranium isotope 
separation plants.
    Explanatory Note: These systems consist of dissolution, solvent 
extraction and/or ion exchange equipment for purification and 
electrolytic cells for reducing the uranium U6+ or 
U4+ to U3+. These systems produce uranium chloride 
solutions having only a few parts per million of metallic impurities 
such as chromium, iron, vanadium, molybdenum and other bivalent or 
higher multi-valent cations. Materials of construction for portions of 
the system processing high-purity U3+ include glass, 
fluorocarbon polymers, polyphenyl sulfate or polyether sulfone plastic-
lined and resin-impregnated graphite.

          5.6.5. Uranium oxidation systems (Chemical exchange)

    (a) Equipment for contacting chlorine and oxygen with the aqueous 
effluent from the isotope separation equipment and extracting the 
resultant U4+ into the stripped organic stream returning from 
the product end of the cascade;
    (b) Equipment that separates water from hydrochloric acid so that 
the water and the concentrated hydrochloric acid may be reintroduced to 
the process at the proper locations.

   5.6.6. Fast-reacting ion exchange resins/adsorbents (ion exchange)

or prepared for uranium enrichment using the ion exchange process, 
including porous macroreticular resins, and/or pellicular structures in 
which the active chemical exchange groups are limited to a coating on 
the surface of an inactive porous support structure, and other composite 
structures in any suitable form including particles or fibers. These ion 
exchange resins/adsorbents have diameters of 0.2 mm or less and must be 
chemically resistant to concentrated hydrochloric acid solutions as well 
as physically strong enough so as not to degrade in the exchange 
columns. The resins/adsorbents are specially designed to achieve very 
fast uranium isotope exchange kinetics (exchange rate half-time of less 
than 10 seconds) and are capable of operating at a temperature in the 
range of 100 [deg]C to 200 [deg]C.

               5.6.7. Ion exchange columns (Ion exchange)

titanium or fluorocarbon plastics) resistant to corrosion by 
concentrated hydrochloric acid solutions and are capable of operating at 
a temperature in the range of 100 [deg]C to 200 [deg]C and pressures 
above 0.7 MPa (102 psia).

which case the reduction system would regenerate Ti3+ by 
reducing Ti4+. The process may use, for example, trivalent 
iron (Fe3+) as an oxidant in which case the oxidation system 
would regenerate Fe3+ by oxidizing Fe2+.

dissociated or reacted compounds as ``product'' and unaffected material 
as ``tails'' in the second category;
    (c) Process laser systems to selectively excite the uranium-235 
species; and
    (d) Feed preparation and product conversion equipment. The 
complexity of the spectroscopy of uranium atoms and compounds may 
require incorporation of any of a number of available laser 
technologies.

for additional enrichment. In one approach, the fluorination reaction 
may be accomplished within the isotope separation system to react and 
recover directly off the ``product'' collectors. In another approach, 
the UF5 powder may be removed/transferred from the 
``product'' collectors into a suitable reaction vessel (e.g., fluidized-
bed reactor, screw reactor or flame tower) for fluorination. In both 
approaches, equipment for storage and transfer of fluorine (or other

Lasers or laser systems for both processes require a spectrum frequency 
stabilizer for operation over extended periods of time.

 5.8. Specially designed or prepared systems, equipment and components 
             for use in plasma separation enrichment plants

    Introductory Note: In the plasma separation process, a plasma of 
uranium ions passes through an electric field tuned to the U-235 ion 
resonance frequency so that they preferentially absorb energy and 
increase the diameter of their corkscrew-like orbits. Ions with a large-
diameter path are trapped to produce a product enriched in U-235. The 
plasma, which is made by ionizing uranium vapor, is contained in a 
vacuum chamber

[[Page 1213]]

  6. Plants for the production of heavy water, deuterium and deuterium 
     compounds and equipment specially designed or prepared therefor

    Introductory Note: Heavy water can be produced by a variety of 
processes. However, the two processes that have proven to be 
commercially viable are the water-hydrogen sulfide exchange process (GS 
process) and the ammonia-hydrogen exchange process. The GS process is 
based upon the exchange of hydrogen and deuterium between water and 
hydrogen sulfide within a series of towers which are operated with the 
top section cold and the bottom section hot. Water flows down the towers 
while the hydrogen sulfide gas circulates from the bottom to the top of 
the towers. A series of perforated trays are used to promote mixing 
between the gas and the water. Deuterium migrates to the water at low 
temperatures and to the hydrogen sulfide at high temperatures. Gas or 
water, enriched in deuterium, is removed from the first stage towers at 
the junction of the hot and cold sections and the process is repeated in 
subsequent stage towers. The product of the last stage, water enriched 
up to 30% in deuterium, is sent to a distillation unit to produce 
reactor grade heavy water, i.e., 99.75% deuterium oxide. The ammonia-
hydrogen exchange process can extract deuterium from synthesis gas 
through contact with liquid ammonia in the presence of a

[[Page 1214]]

catalyst. The synthesis gas is fed into exchange towers and to an 
ammonia converter. Inside the towers the gas flows from the bottom to 
the top while the liquid ammonia flows from the top to the bottom. The 
deuterium is stripped from the hydrogen in the synthesis gas and 
concentrated in the ammonia. The ammonia then flows into an ammonia 
cracker at the bottom of the tower while the gas flows into an ammonia 
converter at the top. Further enrichment takes place in subsequent 
stages and reactor grade heavy water is produced through final 
distillation. The synthesis gas feed can be provided by an ammonia plant 
that, in turn, can be constructed in association with a heavy water 
ammonia-hydrogen exchange plant. The ammonia-hydrogen exchange process 
can also use ordinary water as a feed source of deuterium.
    Many of the key equipment items for heavy water production plants 
using GS or the ammonia-hydrogen exchange processes are common to 
several segments of the chemical and petroleum industries. This is 
particularly so for small plants using the GS process. However, few of 
the items are available ``off-the-shelf.'' The GS and ammonia-hydrogen 
processes require the handling of large quantities of flammable, 
corrosive and toxic fluids at elevated pressures. Accordingly, in 
establishing the design and operating standards for plants and equipment 
using these processes, careful attention to the materials selection and 
specifications is required to ensure long service life with high safety 
and reliability factors. The choice of scale is primarily a function of 
economics and need. Thus, most of the equipment items would be prepared 
according to the requirements of the customer. Finally, it should be 
noted that, in both the GS and the ammonia-hydrogen exchange processes, 
items of equipment which individually are not specially designed or 
prepared for heavy water production can be assembled into systems which 
are specially designed or prepared for producing heavy water. The 
catalyst production system used in the ammonia-hydrogen exchange process 
and water distillation systems used for the final concentration of heavy 
water to reactor-grade in either process are examples of such systems. 
The items of equipment which are specially designed or prepared for the 
production of heavy water utilizing either the water-hydrogen sulfide 
exchange process or the ammonia-hydrogen exchange process include the 
following:

               6.1. Water-hydrogen sulfide exchange towers

7. Plants for the conversion of uranium and equipment specially designed 
                          or prepared therefor

    Introductory Note: Uranium conversion plants and systems may perform 
one or more transformations from one uranium chemical species to 
another, including: conversion of uranium ore concentrates to 
UO3, conversion of UO3 to UO2, 
conversion of uranium oxides to UF4 or UF6, 
conversion of UF4 to UF6, conversion of 
UF6 to UF4, conversion of UF4 to 
uranium metal, and conversion of uranium fluorides to UO2. 
Many of the key equipment items for uranium conversion plants are common 
to several segments of the chemical process industry. For example, the 
types of equipment employed in these processes may include: Furnaces, 
rotary kilns, fluidized bed reactors, flame tower reactors, liquid 
centrifuges, distillation columns and liquid-liquid extraction columns. 
However, few of the items are available ``off-the-shelf;'' most would be 
prepared according to the requirements and specifications of the 
customer. In some instances, special design and construction 
considerations are required to address the corrosive properties of some 
of the chemicals handled (HF, F2, ClF3, and 
uranium fluorides). Finally, it should be noted that, in all of the 
uranium conversion processes, items of equipment which individually are 
not specially designed or prepared for uranium conversion can be 
assembled into systems which are specially designed or prepared for use 
in uranium conversion.

   7.1. Specially designed or prepared systems for the conversion of 
               uranium ore concentrates to UO3

    Explanatory Note: Conversion of uranium ore concentrates to 
UO3 can be performed by first dissolving the ore in nitric 
acid and extracting purified uranyl nitrate using a solvent such as 
tributyl phosphate. Next, the uranyl nitrate is converted to 
UO3 either by concentration and denitration or by 
neutralization with gaseous ammonia to produce ammonium diuranate with 
subsequent filtering, drying, and calcining.

   7.2. Specially designed or prepared systems for the conversion of 
                    UO3 to UF6

    Explanatory Note: Conversion of UO3 to UF6 can 
be performed directly by fluorination. The process requires a source of 
fluorine gas or chlorine trifluoride.

   7.3. Specially designed or prepared systems for the conversion of 
                    UO3 to UO2

    Explanatory Note: Conversion of UO3 to UO2 can

gas or hydrogen.

   7.4. Specially designed or prepared systems for the conversion of 
                    UO2 to UF4

at 300-500 [deg]C.

   7.5. Specially designed or prepared systems for the conversion of 
                    UF4 to UF6

    Explanatory Note: Conversion of UF4 to UF6 is 
performed by exothermic reaction with fluorine in a tower reactor. 
UF6 is condensed from the hot effluent gases by passing the 
effluent stream through a cold trap cooled to -10 [deg]C. The process 
requires a source of fluorine gas.

   7.6. Specially designed or prepared systems for the conversion of 
                        UF4 to U metal

    Explanatory Note: Conversion of UF4 to U metal is 
performed by reduction with magnesium (large batches) or calcium (small 
batches). The reaction is carried out at temperatures above the melting 
point of uranium (1130 [deg]C).

   7.7. Specially designed or prepared systems for the conversion of 
                    UF6 to UO2

    Explanatory Note: Conversion of UF6 to UO2 can 
be performed by one of three processes. In the first, UF6 is 
reduced and hydrolyzed to UO2 using hydrogen and steam. In 
the second, UF6 is hydrolyzed by solution in water, ammonia 
is added to precipitate ammonium diuranate, and the diuranate is reduced 
to UO2 with hydrogen at 820 [deg]C. In the third process, 
gaseous UF6, CO2, and NH3 are combined 
in water, precipitating ammonium uranyl carbonate. The ammonium uranyl 
carbonate is combined with steam and hydrogen at 500-600 [deg]C to yield 
UO2. UF6 to UO2 conversion is often 
performed as the first stage of a fuel fabrication plant.

    7.8 Specially designed or prepared systems for the conversion of 
                    UF6 to UF4

    Explanatory Note: Conversion of UF6 to UF4 is 
performed by reduction with hydrogen.

of complementary access, at locations in the United States, for the 
following purposes.
    (1) Declared uranium hard-rock mines and ore beneficiation plants. 
Complementary access may be conducted, on a selective basis, to verify 
the absence of undeclared nuclear material and nuclear related 
activities at reportable uranium hard-rock mines and ore beneficiation 
plants (see Sec.783.1(a)(3) of the APR).
    (2) Other locations specified in the U.S. declaration and locations 
requested by the IAEA that are not included in the U.S. declaration as 
agreed to by the U.S. Government. Complementary access may be conducted 
at other locations specified in the U.S. declaration (i.e., locations 
required to submit reports to BIS pursuant to Sec.783.1(a)(1), (a)(2), 
or (b) of the APR), and locations requested by the IAEA and agreed to by 
the U.S. Government, to resolve questions relating to the correctness 
and completeness of the information provided in the U.S. declaration or 
to resolve inconsistencies relating to that information.
    (i) In the event that the IAEA has a question about, or identifies 
an apparent inconsistency in, information contained in the U.S. 
declaration (e.g., information based on reports submitted to BIS by one 
of these locations, pursuant to Sec.783.1(a)(1), (a)(2), or (b) of the 
APR), the IAEA will provide the U.S. Government with an opportunity to 
clarify or resolve the question or inconsistency. The IAEA will not draw 
any conclusions about the question or inconsistency, or request 
complementary access to a location, until the U.S. Government has been 
provided with an opportunity to clarify or resolve the question or 
inconsistency, unless the IAEA considers that a delay in access would 
prejudice the purpose for which the access is sought.
    (ii) Upon receipt of a request from the IAEA for clarification 
concerning information contained in the U.S. declaration, BIS will 
provide written notification to the U.S. location. The U.S. location 
must provide BIS with all of the requested information to clarify or 
resolve the question or inconsistency raised by the IAEA. Unless 
informed otherwise by BIS, the U.S. location will have 15 calendar days 
from its receipt of written notification to submit the required forms to 
BIS (see the Supplemental Information Report requirements in Sec.
783.1(d) of the APR).
    (c) Locations subject to complementary access. All locations 
specified in the U.S. declaration and other locations requested by the 
IAEA and agreed to by the U.S. Government are subject to complementary 
access by the IAEA. In cases where access cannot be provided to 
locations specified by the IAEA, BIS may seek to provide complementary 
access to adjacent locations or to satisfy the purposes of complementary 
access (see paragraph (b) of this section) through other means.
    (d) Responsibilities of BIS. As the lead U.S. Government agency and 
point of contact for organizing and facilitating complementary access 
pursuant to the APR, BIS will:
    (1) Serve as the official U.S. Government host to the IAEA 
inspection team;

[[Page 1217]]

    (2) Provide prior written notification to any location that is 
scheduled to undergo complementary access;
    (3) Take appropriate action to obtain an administrative warrant in 
the event that a location does not consent to complementary access;
    (4) Upon request of the location, dispatch an advance team, if time 
and other circumstances permit, to the location to provide 
administrative and logistical support for complementary access and to 
assist with preparation for such access;
    (5) Accompany the IAEA Team throughout the duration of complementary 
access;
    (6) Assist the IAEA Team with complementary access activities and 
ensure that each activity adheres to the provisions of the Additional 
Protocol and to the requirements of the APR and the Act, including the 
conditions of any warrant issued thereunder; and
    (7) Assist in the negotiation and development of a location-specific 
subsidiary arrangement between the U.S. Government and the IAEA, if 
appropriate (see Sec.784.5 of the APR).

    Note to Sec.784.1(d): BIS may invite representatives from other 
U.S. Government agencies to participate as members of the Advance and 
Host Teams for complementary access. The Host Team will not include 
employees of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Mine Safety and 
Health Administration, or the Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration of the Department of Labor.



Sec.784.2  Obtaining consent or warrants to conduct complementary
access.

    (a) Procedures for obtaining consent. (1) For locations specified in 
the U.S. declaration and other locations specified by the IAEA, BIS will 
seek consent pursuant to IAEA complementary access requests. In 
instances where the owner, operator, occupant or agent in charge of a 
location does not consent to such complementary access, BIS will seek 
administrative warrants as provided by the Act.
    (2) For locations specified by the IAEA where access cannot be 
provided, BIS may seek consent from an adjacent location pursuant to an 
IAEA complementary access request.
    (b) Who may give consent. The owner, operator, occupant or agent in 
charge of a location may consent to complementary access. The individual 
providing consent on behalf of the location represents that he or she 
has the authority to make this decision.
    (c) Scope of consent. (1) When the owner, operator, occupant, or 
agent in charge of a location consents to a complementary access 
request, he or she is agreeing to provide the IAEA Team with the same 
degree of access as that authorized under Sec.784.3 of the APR. This 
includes providing access for the IAEA Team and Host Team to any area of 
the location, any item on the location, and any records that are 
necessary to comply with the APR and allow the IAEA Team to accomplish 
the purpose of complementary access, as authorized under Sec.
784.1(b)(1) or (b)(2) of the APR, except for the following:
    (i) Information subject to the licensing jurisdiction of the 
Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), U.S. Department of State, 
under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR parts 
120 through 130)--see Sec.784.3(b)(3) of the APR, which states that 
such access cannot be provided without prior U.S. Government 
authorization; and
    (ii) Activities with direct national security significance to the 
United States, or locations or information associated with such 
activities.
    (2) The Host Team Leader is responsible for determining whether or 
not the IAEA's request to obtain access to any area, building, or item, 
or to record or conduct the types of activities described in Sec.784.3 
of the APR is consistent with the Additional Protocol and subsidiary 
arrangements to the Additional Protocol.



Sec.784.3  Scope and conduct of complementary access.

    (a) General. IAEA complementary access shall be limited to 
accomplishing only those purposes that are appropriate to the type of 
location, as indicated in Sec.784.1(b) of the APR and shall be 
conducted in the least intrusive manner, consistent with the effective 
and timely accomplishment of such purposes. No complementary access may 
take place without the presence of a U.S. Government Host Team. No 
information of direct national security

[[Page 1218]]

significance shall be provided to the IAEA during complementary access.
    (b) Scope. This paragraph describes complementary access activities 
that are authorized under the APR.
    (1) Complementary access activities. Depending on the type of 
location accessed, the IAEA Team may:
    (i) Perform visual observation of parts or areas of the location;
    (ii) Utilize radiation detection and measurement devices;
    (iii) Utilize non-destructive measurements and sampling;
    (iv) Examine relevant records (i.e., records appropriate for the 
purpose of complementary access, as authorized under Sec.784.1(b) of 
the APR), except that the following records may not be inspected unless 
the Host Team leader, after receiving input from representatives of the 
location and consulting with other members of the Host Team, determines 
that such access is both appropriate and necessary to achieve the 
relevant purpose described in Sec.784.1(b)(1) or (b)(2) of the APR:
    (A) Financial data (other than production data);
    (B) Sales and marketing data (other than shipment data);
    (C) Pricing data;
    (D) Personnel data;
    (E) Patent data;
    (F) Data maintained for compliance with environmental or 
occupational health and safety regulations; or
    (G) Research data (unless the data are reported on Form AP-3 or AP-
4);
    (v) Perform location-specific environmental sampling; and

    Note to Sec.784.3(b)(1)(v): BIS will not seek access to a location 
for location-specific environmental sampling until the President reports 
to the appropriate congressional committees his determination to permit 
such sampling.

    (vi) Utilize other objective measures which have been demonstrated 
to be technically feasible and the use of which have been agreed to by 
the United States (``objective measures,'' as used herein, means any 
verification techniques that would be appropriate for achieving the 
official purpose of complementary access, both in terms of their 
effectiveness and limited intrusiveness).
    (2) Wide Area Environmental Sampling. In certain cases, IAEA 
inspectors may collect environmental samples (e.g., air, water, 
vegetation, soil, smears), at a location specified by the IAEA, for the 
purpose of assisting the IAEA to draw conclusions about the absence of 
undeclared nuclear material or nuclear activities over a wide area.

    Note to Sec.784.3(b)(2): The IAEA will not seek such access until 
the use of wide-area environmental sampling and the procedural 
arrangements therefor have been approved by its Board of Governors and 
consultations have been held between the IAEA and the United States. BIS 
will not seek access to a location for wide-area sampling until the 
President reports to the appropriate congressional committees his 
determination to permit such sampling.

    (3) ITAR-controlled technology. ITAR-controlled technology shall not 
be made available to the IAEA Team without prior U.S. Government 
authorization. The owner, operator, occupant, or agent in charge of the 
location being accessed is responsible for identifying any ITAR-
controlled technology at the location to the Host Team as soon as 
practicable following the receipt of notification from BIS of 
complementary access (see Sec.784.4(a) of the APR).
    (c) Briefing. Following the arrival of the IAEA Team and Host Team 
at a location subject to complementary access, and prior to the 
commencement of complementary access, representatives of the 
organization will provide the IAEA Team and Host Team with a briefing on 
the environmental, health, safety, and security regulations (e.g., 
regulations for protection of controlled environments within the 
location and for personal safety) that are applicable to the location 
and which must be observed. In addition, the organization's 
representatives may include in their briefing an overview of the 
location, the activities carried out at the location, and any 
administrative and logistical arrangements relevant to complementary 
access. The briefing may include the use of maps and other documentation 
deemed appropriate by the organization. The time spent for the briefing 
may not exceed one hour, and the content should be limited to that which 
relates to the purpose of

[[Page 1219]]

complementary access. The briefing may also address any of the 
following:
    (1) Areas, buildings, and structures specific to any activities 
relevant to complementary access;
    (2) Administrative and logistical information;
    (3) Updates/revisions to reports required under the APR;
    (4) Introduction of key personnel at the location;
    (5) Location-specific subsidiary arrangement, if applicable; and
    (6) Proposed access plan to address the purpose of complementary 
access.
    (d) Visual access. The IAEA Team may visually observe areas or parts 
of the location, as agreed by the Host Team Leader, after the Host Team 
Leader has consulted with the organization's representative for the 
location.
    (e) Records review. The location must be prepared to provide the 
IAEA Team with access to all supporting materials and documentation used 
by the owner, operator, occupant, or agent in charge of the location to 
prepare reports required under the APR and to otherwise comply with the 
APR (see the records inspection and recordkeeping requirements in 
Sec. Sec.786.1 and 786.2 of the APR and paragraph (b) of this section, 
which describes the scope of complementary access activities authorized 
under the APR) and with appropriate accommodations in which the IAEA 
Team can review these supporting materials and documentation. Such 
access will be provided in appropriate formats (e.g., paper copies, 
electronic remote access by computer, microfilm, or microfiche) through 
the Host Team to the IAEA Team during the complementary access period or 
as otherwise agreed upon by the IAEA Team and Host Team Leader. If the 
owner, operator, occupant, or agent in charge of the location does not 
have access to records for activities that took place under previous 
ownership, the previous owner must make such records available to the 
Host Team.
    (f) Managed access. As necessary, the Host Team will implement 
managed access measures (e.g., the removal of sensitive papers from 
office spaces and the shrouding of sensitive displays, stores, and 
equipment) to prevent the dissemination of proliferation sensitive 
information, to meet safety or physical protection requirements, to 
protect proprietary or commercially sensitive information, or to protect 
activities of direct national security significance to the United 
States, including locations or information associated with such 
activities. If the IAEA Team is unable to fully achieve its inspection 
aims under the managed access measures in place, the Host Team will make 
every reasonable effort to provide alternative means to allow the IAEA 
Team to meet these aims, consistent with the purposes of complementary 
access (as described in Sec.784.1(b) of the APR) and the requirements 
of this section. If a location-specific subsidiary arrangement applies 
(see Sec.784.5(b) of the APR), the Host Team shall, in consultation 
with the owner, operator, occupant, or agent in charge of the location, 
implement managed access procedures consistent with the applicable 
location-specific subsidiary arrangement.
    (g) Hours of complementary access. Consistent with the provisions of 
the Additional Protocol, the Host Team will ensure, to the extent 
possible, that each complementary access is commenced, conducted, and 
concluded during ordinary business hours, but no complementary access 
shall be prohibited or otherwise disrupted from commencing, continuing 
or concluding during other hours.
    (h) Environmental, health, safety, and security regulations and 
requirements. In carrying out their activities, the IAEA Team and Host 
Team shall observe federal, state, and local environmental, health, 
safety, and security regulations and environmental, health, safety, and 
security requirements established at the location, including those for 
the protection of controlled environments within a location and for 
personal safety. To the extent practicable, any such regulations and 
requirements that may apply to the conduct of complementary access at 
the location should be set forth in the location-specific subsidiary 
arrangement (if any).
    (i) Host Team to accompany the IAEA Team. The Host Team shall 
accompany the IAEA Team, during their complementary access at the 
location, in

[[Page 1220]]

accordance with the provisions set forth in this part of the APR.
    (j) Scope of authorized communications by the IAEA Team. (1) The 
United States shall permit and protect free communications between the 
IAEA Team and IAEA Headquarters and/or Regional Offices, including 
attended and unattended transmission of information generated by IAEA 
containment and/or surveillance or measurement devices. The IAEA Team 
shall have the right, through consultation with the Host Team, to make 
use of internationally established systems of direct communications.
    (2) No document, photograph or other recorded medium, or sample 
relevant to complementary access may be removed or transmitted from the 
location by the IAEA Team without the prior consent of the Host Team.
    (k) IAEA activities, findings, and results related to complementary 
access. (1) In accordance with the Additional Protocol, the IAEA shall 
inform the United States of:
    (i) Any activities that took place in connection with complementary 
access to a location in the United States, including any activities 
concerning questions or inconsistencies that the IAEA may have brought 
to the attention of the United States, within 60 calendar days of the 
time that the activities occurred; and
    (ii) The findings or results of any activities that took place, 
including the findings and results of activities concerning questions or 
inconsistencies that the IAEA may have brought to the attention of the 
United States, within 30 calendar days of the time that such findings or 
results were reached by the IAEA.
    (2) BIS will provide the results of complementary access to the 
owner, operator, occupant, or agent in charge of the inspected location 
to the extent practicable.



Sec.784.4  Notification, duration and frequency of complementary access.

    (a) Complementary access notification. Complementary access will be 
provided only upon the issuance of a written notice by BIS to the owner, 
operator, occupant or agent in charge of the premises to be accessed. If 
BIS is unable to provide written notification to the owner, operator, or 
agent in charge, BIS may post a notice prominently at the location to be 
accessed.
    (1) Content of notice--(i) Pertinent information furnished by the 
IAEA. The notice shall include all appropriate information provided by 
the IAEA to the United States Government concerning:
    (A) The purpose of complementary access;
    (B) The basis for the selection of the location for complementary 
access;
    (C) The activities that will be carried out during complementary 
access;
    (D) The time and date that complementary access is expected to begin 
and its anticipated duration; and
    (E) The names and titles of the IAEA inspectors who will participate 
in complementary access.
    (ii) Request for location's consent to complementary access. The 
complementary access notification from BIS will request that the 
location inform BIS whether or not it will consent to complementary 
access. If a location does not agree to provide consent to complementary 
access within four hours of its receipt of the complementary access 
notification, BIS will seek an administrative warrant as provided in 
Sec.784.2(a)(1).
    (iii) Availability of advance team from BIS. An advance team from 
BIS will be available to assist the location in preparing for 
complementary access. If the complementary access is a 24-hour advance 
notice, then the availability of an advance team may be limited. The 
location requesting advance team assistance will not be required to 
reimburse the U.S. Government for any costs associated with these 
activities. The location (in cooperation with the advance team, if 
available) will make preparations for complementary access, including 
the identification of any ITAR-controlled technology and/or national 
security information at the location (see Sec.784.3(b)(3) of the APR).
    (2) Notification procedures. The following table sets forth the 
notification procedures for complementary access.

                                                     one has been
                                                     requested and is
                                                     available.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (3) Timing of notification. In accordance with the Additional 
Protocol, the IAEA shall notify the United States Government of a 
complementary access request not less than 24 hours prior to the arrival 
of the IAEA Team at the location. BIS will provide written notice to the 
owner, operator, occupant or agent in charge of the location as soon as 
possible after BIS has received notification from the IAEA.
    (b) Duration of complementary access. The duration of complementary 
access will depend upon the nature of the complementary access request 
and the activities that will be conducted at the location. (See Sec.
784.3(b) of the APR for a description of the types of complementary 
access activities authorized under the APR.)



Sec.784.5  Subsidiary arrangements.

    (a) General subsidiary arrangement. The United States Government may 
conclude a general subsidiary arrangement with the IAEA that governs 
complementary access activities, irrespective of the location (i.e., an 
arrangement that is not location-specific).
    (b) Location-specific subsidiary arrangement--(1) Purpose. If 
requested by the location or deemed necessary by the U.S. Government, 
the U.S. Government will negotiate a location-specific subsidiary 
arrangement with the IAEA. The purpose of such an arrangement is to 
establish procedures for conducting managed access at a specific 
declared location. If the location requests, it may participate in 
preparations for the negotiation of a location-specific subsidiary 
arrangement with the IAEA and may observe the negotiations to the 
maximum extent practicable. The existence of a location-specific 
subsidiary arrangement does not in any way limit the right of the owner, 
operator, occupant, or agent in charge of the location to withhold 
consent to a request for complementary access.
    (2) Format and content. The form and content of a location-specific 
subsidiary arrangement will be determined by the IAEA and the U.S. 
Government, in consultation with the location, on a case-by-case basis.



Sec.784.6  Post complementary access activities.

    Upon receiving the IAEA's final report on complementary access, BIS 
will forward a copy of the report to the location for its review, in 
accordance with Sec.784.3(k)(2) of the APR. Locations may submit 
comments concerning the IAEA's final report to BIS, and BIS will 
consider them, as appropriate, when preparing its comments to the IAEA 
on the final report. BIS also will send locations a post complementary 
access letter detailing the issues that require follow-up action (see, 
for example, the Amended Report requirements in Sec.783.2(d) of the 
APR).

    (a) Violations--(1) Refusal to permit entry or access. No person may 
willfully fail or refuse to permit entry or access, or willfully 
disrupt, delay or otherwise impede complementary access, or an entry in 
connection with complementary access, authorized by the Act.
    (2) Failure to establish or maintain records. No person may 
willfully fail or refuse to do any of the following:
    (i) Establish or maintain any record required by the Act or the APR;
    (ii) Submit any report, notice, or other information to the United 
States Government in accordance with the Act or the APR; or

[[Page 1223]]

    (iii) Permit access to or copying of any record by the United States 
Government that is related to a person's obligations under the Act or 
the APR.
    (b) Civil penalties--(1) Civil penalty for refusal to permit entry 
or access. Any person that is determined to have willfully failed or 
refused to permit entry or access, or to have willfully disrupted, 
delayed or otherwise impeded an authorized complementary access, as set 
forth in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, shall pay a civil penalty in 
an amount not to exceed $25,000 for each violation. Each day the 
violation continues constitutes a separate violation.
    (2) Civil penalty for failure to establish or maintain records. Any 
person that is determined to have willfully failed or refused to 
establish or maintain any record, submit any report or other information 
required by the Act or the APR, or permit access to or copying of any 
record related to a person's obligations under the Act or the APR, as 
set forth in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, shall pay a civil penalty 
in an amount not to exceed $25,000 for each violation.
    (c) Criminal penalty. Any person that is determined to have violated 
the Act by willfully failing or refusing to permit entry or access 
authorized by the Act; by willfully disrupting, delaying or otherwise 
impeding complementary access authorized by the Act; or by willfully 
failing or refusing to establish or maintain any required record, submit 
any required report or other information, or permit access to or copying 
of any record related to a person's obligations under the Act or the 
APR, as set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, shall, in addition 
to or in lieu of any civil penalty that may be imposed, be fined under 
Title 18 of the United States Code, be imprisoned for not more than five 
years, or both.



Sec.785.3  Initiation of administrative proceedings.

    (a) Issuance of a Notice of Violation and Assessment (NOVA). Prior 
to the initiation of an administrative proceeding through issuance of a 
NOVA, the Bureau of Industry and Security will issue a letter of intent 
to charge. The letter of intent to charge will advise a respondent that 
BIS has conducted an investigation. The letter will give the respondent 
a specified period of time to contact BIS to discuss settlement of the 
allegations set forth in the letter of intent to charge. If the 
respondent does not contact BIS in the time period specified in the 
letter of intent to charge, the Director of the Office of Export 
Enforcement, or such other Department of Commerce representative 
designated by the Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement, may 
initiate an administrative enforcement proceeding under this Sec.785.3 
by issuing a NOVA.
    (b) Content of a NOVA. The NOVA shall constitute a formal complaint 
and will set forth the alleged violation(s) and the essential facts with 
respect to the alleged violation(s), reference the relevant statutory, 
regulatory or other provisions, and state the maximum amount of the 
civil penalty that could be assessed. The NOVA also will inform the 
respondent of the requirement to request a hearing pursuant to Sec.
785.4 of the APR.
    (c) Service of a NOVA. Service of the NOVA shall be made by 
certified mail or courier delivery with signed acknowledgment of 
receipt. The date of signed acknowledgment of receipt shall be the 
effective date of service of the NOVA. One copy of each paper shall be 
provided to each party in the delivery. BIS files the NOVA with the 
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) at the same time that it is sent to the 
respondent. The ALJ, in turn, will place the case on its docket and will 
notify both the respondent and BIS of the docket information.



Sec.785.4  Request for hearing and answer.

    (a) Deadline for answering the NOVA. If the respondent wishes to 
contest the NOVA issued by BIS, the respondent must submit a written 
request for a hearing to BIS within 15 business days from the date of 
service of the NOVA. If the respondent requests a hearing, the 
respondent must answer the NOVA within 30 calendar days from the date of 
the request for hearing. The request for a hearing and the respondent's 
answer to the NOVA must be filed with the Administrative Law Judge 
(ALJ), along with a copy of the NOVA, and served on the Office of Chief 
Counsel,

[[Page 1224]]

and any other address(es) specified in the NOVA, in accordance with 
Sec.785.6 of the APR.
    (b) Content of respondent's answer. The respondent's answer must be 
responsive to the NOVA and must fully set forth the nature of the 
respondent's defense(s). The answer must specifically admit or deny each 
separate allegation in the NOVA; if the respondent is without knowledge, 
the answer will so state and this will serve as a denial. Failure to 
deny or controvert a particular allegation will be deemed to be an 
admission of that allegation. The answer must also set forth any 
additional or new matter that the respondent contends will support a 
defense or claim of mitigation. Any defense or partial defense not 
specifically set forth in the answer shall be deemed to be waived, and 
evidence supporting that defense or partial defense may be refused, 
except for good cause shown.
    (c) English required. The request for hearing, the answer to the 
NOVA, and all other papers and documentary evidence must be submitted in 
English.
    (d) Waiver. The failure of the respondent to file a request for a 
hearing and an answer within the times prescribed in paragraph (a) of 
this section constitutes a waiver of the respondent's right to appear 
and contest the allegations set forth in the NOVA. If no hearing is 
requested and no answer is provided, a final order will be signed by the 
Secretary of Commerce, or by a designated United States Government 
official, and will constitute final agency action in the case.



Sec.785.5  Representation.

    An individual respondent may appear, in person, or be represented by 
a duly authorized officer or employee. A partner may appear on behalf of 
a partnership, or a duly authorized officer or employee of a corporation 
may appear on behalf of the corporation. If a respondent is represented 
by counsel, counsel shall be a member in good standing of the bar of any 
State, Commonwealth or Territory of the United States, or of the 
District of Columbia, or be licensed to practice law in the country in 
which counsel resides, if not the United States. The U.S. Government 
will be represented by the Office of Chief Counsel. A respondent 
personally, or through counsel or other representative who has the power 
of attorney to represent the respondent, shall file a notice of 
appearance with the ALJ, or, in cases where settlement negotiations 
occur before any filing with the ALJ, with the Office of Chief Counsel.



Sec.785.6  Filing and service of papers other than the Notice 
of Violation and Assessment (NOVA).

    (a) Filing. All papers to be filed with the ALJ shall be addressed 
to ``Additional Protocol Administrative Enforcement Proceedings,'' at 
the address set forth in the NOVA, or such other place as the ALJ may 
designate. Filing by United States certified mail, by express or 
equivalent parcel delivery service, via facsimile, or by hand delivery 
is acceptable. Filing from a foreign country shall be by airmail, via 
facsimile, or by express or equivalent parcel delivery service. A copy 
of each paper filed shall be simultaneously served on all parties.
    (b) Service. Service shall be made by United States certified mail, 
by express or equivalent parcel delivery service, via facsimile, or by 
hand delivery of one copy of each paper to each party in the proceeding. 
Service on the government party in all proceedings shall be addressed to 
Office of Chief Counsel for Industry and Security, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Room H-3839, 
Washington, DC 20230, or sent via facsimile to (202) 482-0085. Service 
on a respondent shall be to the address to which the NOVA was sent, or 
to such other address as the respondent may provide. When a party has 
appeared by counsel or other representative, service on counsel or other 
representative shall constitute service on that party.
    (c) Date. The date of filing or service is the day when the papers 
are deposited in the mail or are delivered in person, by delivery 
service, or by facsimile. Refusal by the person to be served, or by the 
person's agent or attorney, of service of a document or other paper will 
be considered effective service of the document or other paper as of the 
date of such refusal.

[[Page 1225]]

    (d) Certificate of service. A certificate of service signed by the 
party making service, stating the date and manner of service, shall 
accompany every paper, other than the NOVA, filed and served on the 
parties.
    (e) Computation of time. In computing any period of time prescribed 
or allowed by this part, the day of the act, event, or default from 
which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included. 
The last day of the period is to be included in the computation unless 
it is a Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal holiday (as defined in Rule 6(a) 
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure). In such instance, the period 
runs until the end of the next day that is neither a Saturday, a Sunday, 
nor a legal holiday. Intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays 
are excluded from the computation when the period of time prescribed or 
allowed is 7 days or less--there is no cap on the period of time to 
which this exclusion applies, whenever the period of time prescribed or 
allowed by this part is computed in business days, rather than calendar 
days.



Sec.785.7  Summary decision.

    The ALJ may render a summary decision disposing of all or part of a 
proceeding on the motion of any party to the proceeding, provided that 
there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the party is 
entitled to summary decision as a matter of law.



Sec.785.8  Discovery.

    (a) General. The parties are encouraged to engage in voluntary 
discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the 
subject matter of the pending proceeding. The provisions of the Federal 
Rules of Civil Procedure relating to discovery apply to the extent 
consistent with this part and except as otherwise provided by the ALJ or 
by waiver or agreement of the parties. The ALJ may make any order which 
justice requires to protect a party or person from annoyance, 
embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense. These orders may 
include limitations on the scope, method, time and place of discovery, 
and provisions for protecting the confidentiality of classified or 
otherwise sensitive information, including Confidential Business 
Information (CBI) as defined by the Act.
    (b) Interrogatories and requests for admission or production of 
documents. A party may serve on any party interrogatories, requests for 
admission, or requests for production of documents for inspection and 
copying, and a party may apply to the ALJ for such enforcement or 
protective order as that party deems warranted with respect to such 
discovery. The service of a discovery request shall be made at least 30 
calendar days before the scheduled date of the hearing unless the ALJ 
specifies a shorter time period. Copies of interrogatories, requests for 
admission and requests for production of documents and responses thereto 
shall be served on all parties and a copy of the certificate of service 
shall be filed with the ALJ at least 5 business days before the 
scheduled date of the hearing. Matters of fact or law of which admission 
is requested shall be deemed admitted unless, within a period designated 
in the request (at least 10 business days after service, or within such 
additional time as the ALJ may allow), the party to whom the request is 
directed serves upon the requesting party a sworn statement either 
denying specifically the matters of which admission is requested or 
setting forth in detail the reasons why the party to whom the request is 
directed cannot either admit or deny such matters.
    (c) Depositions. Upon application of a party and for good cause 
shown, the ALJ may order the taking of the testimony of any person by 
deposition and the production of specified documents or materials by the 
person at the deposition. The application shall state the purpose of the 
deposition and set forth the facts sought to be established through the 
deposition.
    (d) Enforcement. The ALJ may order a party to answer designated 
questions, to produce specified documents or things or to take any other 
action in response to a proper discovery request. If a party does not 
comply with such an order, the ALJ may make a determination or enter any 
order in the proceeding as the ALJ deems reasonable and appropriate. The 
ALJ may strike related charges or defenses in whole or

[[Page 1226]]

in part or may take particular facts relating to the discovery request 
to which the party failed or refused to respond as being established for 
purposes of the proceeding in accordance with the contentions of the 
party seeking discovery. In addition, enforcement by any district court 
of the United States in which venue is proper may be sought as 
appropriate.



Sec.785.9  Subpoenas.

    (a) Issuance. Upon the application of any party, supported by a 
satisfactory showing that there is substantial reason to believe that 
the evidence would not otherwise be available, the ALJ may issue 
subpoenas to any person requiring the attendance and testimony of 
witnesses and the production of such books, records or other documentary 
or physical evidence for the purpose of the hearing, as the ALJ deems 
relevant and material to the proceedings, and reasonable in scope. 
Witnesses shall be paid the same fees and mileage that are paid to 
witnesses in the courts of the United States. In case of contempt, 
challenge or refusal to obey a subpoena served upon any person pursuant 
to this paragraph, any district court of the United States, in which 
venue is proper, has jurisdiction to issue an order requiring any such 
person to comply with a subpoena. Any failure to obey an order of the 
court is punishable by the court as a contempt thereof.
    (b) Service. Subpoenas issued by the ALJ may be served by any of the 
methods set forth in Sec.785.6(b) of the APR.
    (c) Timing. Applications for subpoenas must be submitted at least 10 
business days before the scheduled hearing or deposition, unless the ALJ 
determines, for good cause shown, that extraordinary circumstances 
warrant a shorter time.



Sec.785.10  Matters protected against disclosure.

    (a) Protective measures. The ALJ may limit discovery or introduction 
of evidence or issue such protective or other orders as in the ALJ's 
judgment may be needed to prevent undue disclosure of classified or 
sensitive documents or information. Where the ALJ determines that 
documents containing classified or sensitive matter must be made 
available to a party in order to avoid prejudice, the ALJ may direct the 
other party to prepare an unclassified and nonsensitive summary or 
extract of the documents. The ALJ may compare the extract or summary 
with the original to ensure that it is supported by the source document 
and that it omits only so much as must remain undisclosed. The summary 
or extract may be admitted as evidence in the record.
    (b) Arrangements for access. If the ALJ determines that the summary 
procedure outlined in paragraph (a) of this section is unsatisfactory, 
and that classified or otherwise sensitive matter must form part of the 
record in order to avoid prejudice to a party, the ALJ may provide the 
parties with the opportunity to make arrangements that permit a party or 
a representative to have access to such matter without compromising 
sensitive information. Such arrangements may include obtaining security 
clearances or giving counsel for a party access to sensitive information 
and documents subject to assurances against further disclosure, 
including a protective order, if necessary.



Sec.785.11  Prehearing conference.

    (a) On the ALJ's own motion, or on request of a party, the ALJ may 
direct the parties to participate in a prehearing conference, either in 
person or by telephone, to consider:
    (1) Simplification of issues;
    (2) The necessity or desirability of amendments to pleadings;
    (3) Obtaining stipulations of fact and of documents to avoid 
unnecessary proof; or
    (4) Such other matters as may expedite the disposition of the 
proceedings.
    (b) The ALJ may order the conference proceedings to be recorded 
electronically or taken by a reporter, transcribed and filed with the 
ALJ.
    (c) If a prehearing conference is impracticable, the ALJ may direct 
the parties to correspond with the ALJ to achieve the purposes of such a 
conference.
    (d) The ALJ will prepare a summary of any actions agreed on or taken 
pursuant to this section. The summary

[[Page 1227]]

will include any written stipulations or agreements made by the parties.



Sec.785.12  Hearings.

    (a) Scheduling. Upon receipt of a valid request for a hearing, the 
ALJ shall, by agreement with all the parties or upon notice to all 
parties of at least 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of a 
request for a hearing, schedule a hearing. All hearings will be held in 
Washington, DC, unless the ALJ determines, for good cause shown, that 
another location would better serve the interest of justice.
    (b) Hearing procedure. Hearings will be conducted in a fair and 
impartial manner by the ALJ. All hearings will be closed, unless the ALJ 
for good cause shown determines otherwise. The rules of evidence 
prevailing in courts of law do not apply, and all evidentiary material 
deemed by the ALJ to be relevant and material to the proceeding and not 
unduly repetitious will be received and given appropriate weight, except 
that any evidence of settlement which would be excluded under Rule 408 
of the Federal Rules of Evidence is not admissible. Witnesses will 
testify under oath or affirmation, and shall be subject to cross-
examination.
    (c) Testimony and record. (1) A verbatim record of the hearing and 
of any other oral proceedings will be taken by reporter or by electronic 
recording, and filed with the ALJ. If any party wishes to obtain a 
written copy of the transcript, that party shall pay the costs of 
transcription. The parties may share the costs if both want a 
transcript.
    (2) Upon such terms as the ALJ deems just, the ALJ may direct that 
the testimony of any person be taken by deposition and may admit an 
affidavit or report as evidence, provided that any affidavits or reports 
have been filed and served on the parties sufficiently in advance of the 
hearing to permit a party to file and serve an objection thereto on the 
grounds that it is necessary that the affiant or declarant testify at 
the hearing and be subject to cross-examination.
    (d) Failure to appear. If a party fails to appear in person or by 
counsel at a scheduled hearing, the hearing may nevertheless proceed. 
The party's failure to appear will not affect the validity of the 
hearing or any proceeding or action taken thereafter.



Sec.785.13  Procedural stipulations.

    Unless otherwise ordered and subject to Sec.785.14 of the APR, a 
written stipulation agreed to by all parties and filed with the ALJ will 
modify the procedures established by this part.



Sec.785.14  Extension of time.

    The parties may extend any applicable time limitation by stipulation 
filed with the ALJ before the time limitation expires, or the ALJ may, 
on the ALJ's own initiative or upon application by any party, either 
before or after the expiration of any applicable time limitation, extend 
the time, except that the requirement that a hearing be demanded within 
15 calendar days, and the requirement that a final agency decision be 
made within 60 calendar days, may not be modified.



Sec.785.15  Post-hearing submissions.

    All parties shall have the opportunity to file post-hearing 
submissions that may include findings of fact and conclusions of law, 
supporting evidence and legal arguments, exceptions to the ALJ's rulings 
or to the admissibility of evidence, and orders and settlements.



Sec.785.16  Decisions.

    (a) Recommended decision and order. After considering the entire 
record in the case, the ALJ will issue a recommended decision based on a 
preponderance of the evidence. The decision will include findings of 
fact, conclusions of law, and a decision based thereon as to whether the 
respondent has violated the Act. If the ALJ finds that the evidence of 
record is insufficient to sustain a finding that a violation has 
occurred with respect to one or more allegations, the ALJ shall order 
dismissal of the allegation(s) in whole or in part, as appropriate. If 
the ALJ finds that one or more violations have been committed, the ALJ 
shall issue an order imposing administrative sanctions.
    (b) Factors considered in assessing penalties. In determining the 
amount of a civil penalty, the ALJ shall take into account the nature, 
circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation(s),

[[Page 1228]]

and, with respect to the respondent, the respondent's ability to pay the 
penalty, the effect of a civil penalty on the respondent's ability to 
continue to do business, the respondent's history of prior violations, 
and such other matters as justice may require.
    (c) Referral of recommended decision and order. The ALJ shall 
immediately issue and serve the recommended decision (and order, if 
appropriate) to the Office of Chief Counsel, at the address in Sec.
785.6(b) of the APR, and to the respondent, by courier delivery or 
overnight mail. The recommended decision and order will also be referred 
to the head of the designated executive agency for final decision and 
order.
    (d) Final decision and order. The recommended decision and order 
shall become the final agency decision and order unless, within 60 
calendar days, the Secretary of Commerce, or a designated United States 
Government official, modifies or vacates it, or unless an appeal has 
been filed pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section.
    (e) Appeals. The respondent may appeal the final agency decision 
within 30 calendar days after the date of certification. Petitions for 
appeal may be filed in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia 
Circuit or in the Court of Appeals for the district in which the 
violation occurred.



Sec.785.17  Settlement.

    (a) Settlements before issuance of a NOVA. When the parties have 
agreed to a settlement of the case prior to issuance of a NOVA, a 
settlement proposal consisting of a settlement agreement and order will 
be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement for 
approval and signature. If the Assistant Secretary does not approve the 
proposal, he/she will notify the parties and the case will proceed as 
though no settlement proposal has been made. If the Assistant Secretary 
approves the proposal, he/she will issue an appropriate order, and no 
action will be required by the ALJ.
    (b) Settlements following issuance of a NOVA. The parties may enter 
into settlement negotiations at any time during the time a case is 
pending before the ALJ. If necessary, the parties may extend applicable 
time limitations or otherwise request that the ALJ stay the proceedings 
while settlement negotiations continue. When the parties have agreed to 
a settlement of the case, the Office of Chief Counsel will recommend the 
settlement to the Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement, forwarding 
a proposed settlement agreement and order, which the Assistant Secretary 
will approve and sign. If a NOVA has been filed, the Office of Chief 
Counsel will send a copy of the settlement proposal to the ALJ.
    (c) Settlement scope. Any respondent who agrees to an order imposing 
any administrative sanction does so solely for the purpose of resolving 
the claims in the administrative enforcement proceeding brought under 
this Part. The government officials involved have neither the authority 
nor the responsibility for initiating, conducting, settling, or 
otherwise disposing of criminal proceedings. That authority and 
responsibility are vested in the Attorney General and the Department of 
Justice.
    (d) Finality. Cases that are settled may not be reopened or 
appealed, absent a showing of good cause. Appeals and requests to reopen 
settled cases must be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Export 
Enforcement within 30 calendar days of the execution of a settlement 
agreement.



Sec.785.18  Record for decision.

    (a) The record. The transcript of hearings, exhibits, rulings, 
orders, all papers and requests filed in the proceedings, and, for 
purposes of any appeal under Sec.785.16 of the APR, the decision of 
the ALJ and such submissions as are provided for under Sec.785.16 of 
the APR will constitute the record and the exclusive basis for decision. 
When a case is settled, the record will consist of any and all of the 
foregoing, as well as the NOVA or draft NOVA, settlement agreement, and 
order.
    (b) Restricted access. On the ALJ's own motion, or on the motion of 
any party, the ALJ may direct that there be a restricted access portion 
of the record for any material in the record to which public access is 
restricted by law or by the terms of a protective order entered in the 
proceedings. A party seeking to restrict access to any portion of the 
record is responsible, prior

[[Page 1229]]

to the close of the proceeding, for submitting a version of the 
document(s) proposed for public availability that reflects the requested 
deletion. The restricted access portion of the record will be placed in 
a separate file and the file will be clearly marked to avoid improper 
disclosure and to identify it as a portion of the official record in the 
proceedings. The ALJ may act at any time to permit material that becomes 
declassified or unrestricted through passage of time to be transferred 
to the unrestricted access portion of the record.
    (c) Availability of documents--(1) Scope. All NOVAs and draft NOVAs, 
answers, settlement agreements, decisions and orders disposing of a case 
will be displayed on the BIS Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Web site, 
at http://www.bis.doc.gov/foia, which is maintained by the Office of 
Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of 
Commerce. The Office of Administration does not maintain a separate 
inspection facility. The complete record for decision, as defined in 
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section will be made available on 
request.
    (2) Timing. The record for decision will be available only after the 
final administrative disposition of a case. Parties may seek to restrict 
access to any portion of the record under paragraph (b) of this section.



Sec.785.19  Payment of final assessment.

    (a) Time for payment. Full payment of the civil penalty must be made 
within 30 days of the effective date of the order or within such longer 
period of time as may be specified in the order. Payment shall be made 
in the manner specified in the NOVA.
    (b) Enforcement of order. The government party may, through the

PART 786_RECORDS AND RECORDKEEPING--Table of Contents



Sec.
786.1 Inspection of records.
786.2 Recordkeeping.
786.3 Destruction or disposal of records.

    Authority: United States Additional Protocol Implementation Act of 
2006, Pub. Law No. 109-401, 120 Stat. 2726 (December 18, 2006) (to be 
codified at 22 U.S.C. 8101-8181); Executive Order 13458 (February 4, 
2008).

    Source: 73 FR 65128, Oct. 31, 2008, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.786.1  Inspection of records.

    Upon request by BIS, you must permit access to and copying of any 
record relating to compliance with the requirements of the APR. This 
requires that you make available the equipment and, if necessary, 
knowledgeable personnel for locating, reading, and reproducing any 
record. Copies may be necessary to facilitate IAEA Team review of 
documents during complementary access. The IAEA Team may not remove 
these documents from the location without BIS authorization (see Sec.
784.3(j)(2) of the APR).



Sec.786.2  Recordkeeping.

    (a) Requirements. Each person and location required to submit a 
report or correspondence under parts 782 through 784 of the APR must 
retain all supporting materials and documentation used to prepare such 
report or correspondence.
    (b) Three year retention period. All supporting materials and 
documentation required to be kept under paragraph (a) of this section 
must be retained for three years from the due

[[Page 1230]]

date of the applicable report or for three years from the date of 
submission of the applicable report, whichever is later. Due dates for 
reports and correspondence are indicated in parts 782 through 784 of the 
APR.
    (c) Location of records. Records retained under this section must be 
maintained at the location or must be accessible at the location for 
purposes of complementary access at the location by IAEA Teams.
    (d) Reproduction of original records. (1) You may maintain 
reproductions instead of the original records, provided all of the 
requirements of paragraph (b) of this section are met.
    (2) If you must maintain records under this part, you may use any 
photostatic, miniature photographic, micrographic, automated archival 
storage, or other process that completely, accurately, legibly and 
durably reproduces the original records (whether on paper, microfilm, or 
through electronic digital storage techniques). The process must meet 
all of the following requirements, which are applicable to all systems:
    (i) The system must be capable of reproducing all records on paper.
    (ii) The system must record and be able to reproduce all marks, 
information, and other characteristics of the original record, including 
both obverse and reverse sides (unless blank) of paper documents in 
legible form.
    (iii) When displayed on a viewer, monitor, or reproduced on paper, 
the records must exhibit a high degree of legibility and readability. 
For purposes of this section, legible and legibility mean the quality of 
a letter or numeral that enable the observer to identify it positively 
and quickly to the exclusion of all other letters or numerals. Readable 
and readability mean the quality of a group of letters or numerals being 
recognized as complete words or numbers.
    (iv) The system must preserve the initial image (including both 
obverse and reverse sides, unless blank, of paper documents) and record 
all changes, who made them and when they were made. This information 
must be stored in such a manner that none of it may be altered once it 
is initially recorded.
    (v) You must establish written procedures to identify the 
individuals who are responsible for the operation, use and maintenance 
of the system.
    (vi) You must keep a record of where, when, by whom, and on what 
equipment the records and other information were entered into the 
system.
    (3) Requirements applicable to a system based on digital images. For 
systems based on the storage of digital images, the system must provide 
accessibility to any digital image in the system. The system must be 
able to locate and reproduce all records according to the same criteria 
that would have been used to organize the records had they been 
maintained in original form.
    (4) Requirements applicable to a system based on photographic 
processes. For systems based on photographic, photostatic, or miniature 
photographic processes, the records must be maintained according to an 
index of all records in the system following the same criteria that 
would have been used to organize the records had they been maintained in 
original form.



Sec.786.3  Destruction or disposal of records.

    If BIS or any other authorized U.S. government agency makes a formal 
or informal request for a certain record or records, such record or 
records may not be destroyed or disposed of without the written 
authorization of the requesting entity.
