Revisions and Clarifications to the Export Administration 
Regulations; Commerce Control List

AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On January 15, 1998, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) 
published an interim rule (63 FR 2452) that implemented the Wassenaar 
Arrangement list of dual-use items and reporting requirements under the 
Wassenaar Arrangement. The interim rule revised the Commerce Control 
List by making revisions to implement the Wassenaar Arrangement. This 
rule amends Commerce Control List by making certain revisions and 
clarifications and, in some cases, inserts material inadvertently 
omitted from the January 15 interim rule.

DATES: This rule is effective March 5, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia Muldonian, Office of Exporter 
Services, Bureau of Export Administration, Telephone: (202) 482-2440.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Specifically this rule makes the following revisions to part 774 of 
the Export Administration Regulations:
    (1) ECCN 0A982 is amended by revising the entry heading and the 
License Requirements section by removing the references to 
``conventional steel military helmets''. Conventional steel helmets are 
controlled under ECCN 0A018 or 0A988. In addition, this entry is also 
revised by removing the UN controls. The UN controls apply only to 
machetes and certain conventional steel helmets as described in ECCN 
0A988.
    (2) ECCN 0D001 is amended by revising the Related Controls section 
by removing the first reference to ECCN 0A002. Items controlled by ECCN 
0A002 are subject to the export licensing authority of the U.S. 
Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls, not the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission.
    (3) ECCN 0E001 is amended by revising the Related Controls section 
by adding the phrase ``Technology for items controlled by 0A002 are 
subject to the export licensing authority of the U.S. Department of 
State, Office of Defense Trade Controls (see 22 CFR part 121).''
    (4) ECCN 1A002 is amended by revising the Related Controls section 
by adding the phrase ``Composite structures that are specially designed 
for missile application (including specially designed subsystems and 
components) are controlled by ECCN 9A110''.
    (5) ECCN 1A005 is amended by revising the Controls and Country 
Chart sections by revising the item for UN to read ``UN applies to 
entire entry--Rwanda and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and 
Montenegro)''. In addition, License Exception GBS is revised to read 
``Yes, except UN''.
    (6) ECCN 1C001 is amended by revising the List of Items Controlled 
section by revising note 2 to 1C001.a, as follows: ``N.B.: Nothing in 
this note releases magnetic materials to provide absorption when 
contained in paint.''. This revision is consistent with revisions 
agreed to and implemented by the Wassenaar Arrangement in December 
1997.
    (7) ECCN 1C006 is amended by revising License Exceptions GBS and 
CIV as follows: ``GBS: Yes for 1C006.d; CIV: Yes for 1C006.d''
    (8) [Reserved]
    (9) ECCN 1D390 is amended by revising the Controls section by 
revising the phrase ``CB applies to entire entry NP Column 2'' to read 
``CB applies to entire entry CB Column 2''.
    (10) ECCNs 1D993, 1E001, and 1E994 are amended by revising the 
entry heading to remove the reference to ECCN 1C994. The January 15 
rule moved fluorocarbon electronic cooling fluids from ECCN 1C994 to 
ECCN 1C006.d.
    (11) ECCNs 1E001, 4D001, 4E001, 5D001, 5E001, 6D001, 6D003, 6E001, 
6E002, 8D001 and 8E001 are amended by revising License Exception TSR 
for clarity purposes. In addition, the January 15 rule omitted Japan 
from the countries eligible for License Exception TSR. This rule 
corrects that omission.
    (12) ECCN 2B001 ia amended by revising the List of Items Controlled 
section by removing the reference to ``(overall positioning)'' from 
2B001.a.1. This revision is consistent with revisions agreed to and 
implemented by the Wassenaar Arrangement in December 1997.
    (13) ECCN 2B003 is amended by revising the entry heading. The 
reference to ``controls'' is revised to read ``controllers''. This 
revision is consistent with revisions agreed to and implemented by the 
Wassenaar Arrangement in December 1997.
    (14) ECCN 2B004 is amended by revising the entry heading by 
revising the phrase ``components, accessories,'' to read ``components, 
controllers, accessories,''.
    (15) ECCN 2B005 is amended, as follows:
    a. By revising the entry heading by adding the phrase ``as 
follows,'' after the phrase ``surface modifications,'';
    b. By revising the related controls section by adding two notes as 
follows: ``(1) Vapor deposition equipment designed or modified for the 
production of filamentary materials are controlled by ECCN 1B101; (2)

densification of carbon-carbon composites are controlled by ECCN 
2B104.''; and
    c. By revising the List of Items Controlled section by revising the 
reference to ``decomposition'' to read ``deposition'', as it appears in 
paragraph a.1.b;
    The revisions described in item (15)a and c are consistent with 
revisions agreed to and implemented by the Wassenaar Arrangement in 
December 1997. The revision to item (15) b are consistent with 
revisions agreed to and implemented by the Missile Technology Control 
Regime.
    (16) ECCN 2B104 is amended by revising the License Requirements 
section by removing the Nuclear Proliferation controls from this entry. 
Nuclear proliferation controls for isostatic presses are controlled 
under ECCNs 2B004 or 2B204. This revision is consistent with revisions 
agreed to and implemented by the Wassenaar Arrangement in December 
1997.
    (17) ECCN 2B996 is amended by revising the List of Items Controlled 
section by removing and reserving paragraph b (systems for simultaneous 
linear-angular inspection of hemishells). These systems are currently 
controlled under ECCN 2B206.b.
    (18) ECCN 2E003 is amended:
    a. By revising the related controls section by adding the following 
note: `Technology', not controlled by ECCNs 2E001 and 2E002, for spin 
forming machines combining the functions of spin forming and flow 
forming, and flow forming machines controlled by ECCNs 2B009 and 2B109,

= 5  x  108 Rads (Si)/s.''; and
    (b) By revising 3A001.a.12.b to correct a typographic error.
    (20) ECCN 3A002 is amended by revising the List of Items Controlled 
section by revising the reference to ``CCIR'' to read ``ITU'', in the 
note to 3A002.a.2.
    (21) ECCN 3B001 is amended by revising License Exception GBS to 
read as follows: ``Yes, except 3B001.a.2 (metal organic chemical vapor 
deposition reactors), a.3 (molecular beam epitaxial growth equipment 
using gas sources), e (automatic loading multi-chamber central wafer 
handling systems only if connected to equipment controlled by 
3B001.a.2, a.3, and f), and f (lithography equipment).''
    (22) ECCN 3C002 is amended by revising License Exceptions GBS and 
CIV to read as follows: ``GBS: Yes for positive resists not optimized 
for photolithography at a wavelength of less than 365 nm, provided that 
they are not controlled by 3C002.b through .d.
    CIV: Yes for positive resists not optimized for photolithography at 
a wavelength of less than 365 nm, provided that they are not controlled 
by 3C002.b through .d.''
    (23) ECCN 4A003 is amended as follows:
    (a) By revising the entry heading by adding the phrase ``(see List

    (3) By revising the phrase ``to be capable of'' to read ``for'', in 
4A003.c.
    The revisions to the List of Items Controlled section are 
consistent with revisions agreed to and implemented by the Wassenaar 
Arrangement in December 1997.
    (24) ECCN 5A991 is amended by revising the List of Items Controlled 
section by removing 5A991.b.6.a (voice coding rates at less than 2,400 
bits/s). This item is currently controlled under ECCN 5A001.b.10.
    (25) ECCN 5A992 is amended by revising the entry heading, License 
Requirements and List of Items Controlled section. Specifically, this 
revision provides clarification that telecommunications equipment that 
contain encryption is controlled by this entry and that such equipment 
requires a license to countries identified by AT Column 1. In addition, 
this entry corrects an inadvertent error of the January 15 rule. 
``Information security'' equipment, n.e.s., (e.g., cryptographic, 
cryptoanalytic,and cryptologic equipment, n.e.s,) and components 
therefor has been revised to require a license to countries identified

section by adding the following definition, ``5D002.a controls 
``software'' designed or modified to use ``cryptography'' employing 
digital or analog techniques to ensure ``information security''.'' This 
definition was erroneously omitted in the January 15 rule.
    (27) ECCN 5D992 is amended by revising the License Requirements and 
List of Items Controlled sections. Specifically this rule clarifies 
that ``software'' specially designed or modified for the 
``development'', ``production'', or ``use'' of telecommunications 
equipment containing encryption (e.g., equipment controlled by 5A992.a) 
or ``software'' having the characteristics, or performing or simulating 
the functions of equipment controlled by 5A992.a require a license to 
countries identified by AT Column 1. In addition, this entry corrects 
an inadvertent error of the January 15 rule. ``Software'' specially 
designed or modified for the ``development'', ``production'', or 
``use'' of information security or cryptologic equipment (e.g., 
equipment controlled by 5A992.b); ``software'' having the 
characteristics, or performing or simulating the functions of the 
equipment controlled by 5A992.b; or ``software'' designed or modified 
to protect against malicious computer damage, e.g., viruses has been 
revised to require a license to countries identified by AT Column 2.
    (28) ECCN 5E992 is amended by revising the entry heading, the 
License Requirements and List of Items Controlled sections. 
Specifically, this rule clarifies that ``technology'' n.e.s., for the 
``development'', ``production'' or ``use'' of telecommunications 
equipment containing encryption (e.g., equipment controlled by 5A992.a) 
or ``software'' controlled by 5D992.a.1 or b.1 requires a license to 
countries identified by AT Column 1. In addition, this entry corrects 
an inadvertent error of the January 15 rule. ``Technology'', n.e.s., 
for the ``development'', ``production'', or ``use'' of ``information 
security'' or cryptologic equipment (e.g. equipment controlled by 
5A992.b), or ``software'' controlled by 5D992.a.2, b.2, or c has been 
revised to require a license to countries identified AT Column 2.
    (29) ECCN 6A003 is amended by revising the List of Items Controlled 
section by revising the phrase ``cameras for normal civil purposes'' to 
read ``cameras designed for civil purposes'' , in the note to 
6A003.a.1. This revision is consistent with revisions agreed to and 
implemented by the Wassenaar Arrangement in December 1997.
    (30) ECCN 6A005 is amended:
    (a) By revising the reference to ``c.2.d.2.b'' under the Controls

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for 
the purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to 
comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information 
displays a current valid OMB Control Number. 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 0694-0086 and 
0694-0088.
    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 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 or foreign affairs function 
of the United States. No other law requires that a notice of proposed 
rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this 
rule.
    Accordingly, it is issued in final form. However, comments from the 
public are always welcome. Comments should be submitted to Patricia 
Muldonian, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Export 
Administration, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 
20044.
