15 CFR Parts 778 and 799
[Docket No. 940975-4275]
Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR); Revisions to the CCL
AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is amending the
Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by revising certain entries of
the Commerce Control List (CCL) to conform with changes to the Missile
Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Equipment and Technology Annex. The
MTCR is a multilateral forum; participating countries agree to control
items contained on the Annex in order to limit proliferation of
missiles capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction. Most of
these revisions are based on technical consultations with MCTR
countries held in September 1993, in London, and in December 1993, in
Interlaken. Additionally, this rule makes other corrections and
clarifications needed to make the CCL conform to the Annex. The
revisions to the CCL made by this rule help to ensure that the items
controlled by the United States in meeting its MTCR obligations are
similar to those controlled by other MTCR participating countries.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective September 30, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bruce Webb, Office of Technology and
Policy Analysis, Bureau of Export Administration, Telephone: (202) 482-
3806.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This rule amends Part 778 to clarify missile technology licensing
policy. Many of the changes to the Commerce Control List (CCL) made by
this rule, directly reflecting changes in the MTCR Annex, consist of
technical refinements that more precisely identify items controlled for
missile technology reasons. The technical refinements in Category 1
either change certain paragraphs or add clarifying notes.
In other cases, the CCL has been brought into line where it had
diverged from the Annex. In Category 3, 3A01.a.1.a replaces 3A01.a.1,
and resulting changes occur in 3D21 and 3E01. As telemetering and
telecontrol equipment (5A20) are the only items in Category 5 on the
Annex, the missile technology designation was removed from the ``Reason
for Control'' paragraph of any other Category 5 entries. The GLV value
limit for 5A20 is now $0. Since 7A27 now specifically controls airborne
passive sensors, the GLV limit for that entry becomes $0. ``Specially
designed components'' have been added to some entries to conform to the
Annex. Finally, typographical errors in the definitions supplement have
been corrected.
Although the Export Administration Act of 1979 (EAA) expired on
August 20, 1994, the President invoked the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act and determined that, to the extent permitted by
law, the provisions of the EAA, as amended, shall be carried out under
Executive Order 12924 of August 19, 1994, so as to continue in full
force and effect and amend, as necessary, the export control system
heretofore maintained by the Export Administration Regulations issued
under the EAA.
Saving Clause
Shipments of items removed from general license authorizations as a
result of this regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on
lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or en route aboard a
carrier to a port of export pursuant to actual orders for export before
September 30, 1994 may be exported under the previous general license
provisions up to and including October 28, 1994. Any such items not
actually exported before midnight October 28, 1994, require a validated
export license in accordance with this regulation.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of E. O. 12866.
2. This rule involves collections of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These
collections have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget
under control numbers 0694-0005, 0694-0007, 0694-0010 and 0694-0023.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under
Executive Order 12612.
4. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by section
553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) or by any other
law, under section 3(a) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
603(a) and 604(a)) no initial or final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
has to be or will be prepared.
5. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for
public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable
because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs
function of the United States. Further, no other law requires that a
notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be
given for this rule.
Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there
is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are
welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be submitted to Hillary
Hess, Office of Technology and Policy Analysis, Bureau of Export
Administration, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC
20044.

3. Section 778.7 is amended by revising paragraphs (a)(1) and
(d)(1) to read as follows:
Sec. 778.7 Equipment and related technical data used in the design,
development, production or use of missiles.
* * * * *
(a) * * *
(1) Items subject to missile delivery systems controls.The items
that require a validated license because they are subject to foreign
policy controls on missile delivery systems are contained within ECCNs
designated by ``MT'' in the Reason for Control paragraph. Exporters
should consult that paragraph in each ECCN to determine the specific
item subject to these foreign policy controls.
* * * * *
(d) Licensing policy. (1) Applications to export the items will be
considered on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the export
would make a material contribution to the proliferation of missiles.
Applications for exports of items controlled for MT by CCL category 7A
or by ECCN 9A21 will be considered more favorably if such exports 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 is deemed to make a material
contribution to the proliferation of missiles, the license will be
denied.

DEFINITIONS
* * * * *
Principal element (Cat 4)--An element is a ``principal element''
when its replacement value is more than 35% of the total value of
the system of which it is an element. Element value is the price
paid for the element by the manufacturer of the system, or by the
system integrator. Total value is the normal international selling
price to unrelated parties at the point of manufacture or
consolidation of shipment.
