Revisions and Clarifications to the Export Administration 
Regulations--Nuclear Nonproliferation Controls: Nuclear Suppliers Group

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the 
Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by revising certain entries on 
its control list that are controlled for nuclear nonproliferation (NP) 
reasons. This final rule revises these entries to make them conform 
more closely to the format used in the technical descriptions of items 
identified in the Annex to the ``Guidelines for Transfers of Nuclear-
Related Dual-Use Equipment, Material, and Related Technology'' (the 
Annex), which is published by the International Atomic Energy Agency. 
Member countries of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), which includes 
the United States, have established export licensing procedures for the 
transfer of items identified in the Annex.
    This final rule also revises the types of controls and the scope of 
the controls that apply to a number of entries on the Commerce Control 
List (CCL). In addition, this rule amends the ``Related Controls'' 
paragraphs in a number of entries by adding references to related items 
that are either controlled under other entries on the CCL or controlled 
by other U.S. Government agencies.
    As a result of the admission of Belarus, Cyprus, Slovenia, and 
Turkey to the Nuclear Suppliers Group, this rule adds these four 
countries to Country Group A:4, which identifies the member countries 
of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. These four countries are also added to 
the definition of the term ``Nuclear Suppliers Group'' in the EAR. The 
addition of these four countries will lessen the administrative burden 
on U.S. exporters by decreasing the number of items that require an 
export license to these countries for nuclear nonproliferation (NP) 
reasons.

DATES: This rule is effective August 29, 2002.

Nonproliferation Controls and Treaty Compliance, Bureau of Industry and 
Security, Telephone: (202) 482-4188.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the Commerce 
Control List (CCL), Supplement No. 1 to part 774 of the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR), which contains a number of items that 
are controlled for nuclear nonproliferation (NP) reasons. The items on 
the CCL that are controlled for NP reasons are referred to as ``The 
Nuclear Referral List'' and are subject to the licensing requirements 
and policies described in Sec. 742.3 of the EAR. Most of the items on 
the Nuclear Referral List are identified in the Annex to the 
``Guidelines for Transfers of Nuclear-Related Dual-Use Equipment, 
Material, and Related Technology'' (the Annex), which is published by 
the International Atomic Energy Agency in INFCIRC/254/Revision 4/Part 
2. The United States, together with other participating countries in 
the Nuclear Suppliers Group, agreed to establish export licensing 
procedures to regulate exports and reexports of items identified in the 
Annex in accordance with the Nuclear Suppliers Guidelines.
    This final rule amends the following Export Control Classification 
Numbers (ECCNs) on the CCL, which contain items controlled for NP 
reasons, by reformatting the control language in these ECCNs to conform 
more closely with the format used to describe such items in the Annex: 
1A202, 1A226, 1A227, 1B201, 1B229, 1B230, 1B232, 1C202, 1C225 to 1C230, 
1C232 to 1C237, 1C239, 1C240, 2A225, 2A226, 2B204, 2B206, 2B207, 2B209, 
2B225 to 2B228, 2B230 to 2B232, 3A201, 3A225 to 3A227, 3A229 to 3A231, 
3A233, 6A202, 6A205, and 6A225. The following ECCNs are amended by 
revising the ECCN heading to conform more closely with the control 
language used in the Annex or with the scope of controls described in 
the Annex: 1B226, 1B231, 1B233, 1C216, 1C231, 1D101, 1D201, 1E101, 
1E102, 1E201, 1E203, 2A291, 2B001, 2B004, 2B009, 2B290, 2B350, 2D101, 
2E101, 2E201, 3E201, 6A005, and 6E201. ECCNs 2B201, 3A232, and 6A203 
are amended by revising the List of Items Controlled for each ECCN to 
conform more closely with the control language used in the Annex.
    This rule also revises the Related Controls paragraphs in a number 
of ECCNs containing items subject to NP controls by adding references 
to one or more of the following: (1) Related items controlled under 
other ECCNs on the CCL, (2) related items subject to the export 
licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and (3) 
related items subject to the export licensing authority of the Office 
of Defense Trade Controls (DTC), U.S. Department of State. The Related 
Controls paragraphs in the following ECCNs are revised: 1A002, 1A202, 
1A225 to 1A227, 1B001, 1B101, 1B201, 1B225 to 1B233, 1C002, 1C010, 
1C116, 1C202, 1C210, 1C216, 1C225 to 1C240, 1D001, 1D101, 1D201, 1E001, 
2A225, 2A226, 2A290 to 2A293, 2B001, 2B004, 2B006, 2B007, 2B009, 2B104, 
2B109, 2B116, 2B201, 2B204, 2B206, 2B207, 2B209, 2B225 to 2B232, 2B290, 
2B350, 2B991, 2D001, 2D002, 2D101, 2D201, 2D290, 3A201, 3A225 to 3A233, 
3A292, 6A003, 6A005, 6A202, 6A203, 6A205, 6A225, 6A226, and 6D001.
    In addition, this rule revises the Related Definitions paragraph in 
the following ECCNs: 1A227, 1B229, 1C202, 1C210, 1C216, 1C225, 1C233, 
2A226, 2B204, 3A230, 3A225, and 3A229. The text has been removed from 
the Related Definitions paragraph for ECCN 2B206 and much of it has 
been included in a new ECCN Controls paragraph for this ECCN, while the 
text in the Related Definitions paragraphs for ECCNs 2B225 and 3A232 
has been moved to new Technical Notes in these entries. The text in the 
Related Definitions paragraph for ECCN 6E201, which described the scope 
of controls for this ECCN, has been removed and the scope of controls 
for ECCN 6E201 is now described in a new ECCN Controls paragraph.
    In order to clarify the kinds of items that are subject to the 
controls specified in the CCL (e.g., NP), this rule adds ECCN Controls 
paragraphs to the following ECCNs: 1B226, 1C216, 1C226, 1C230, 1C232 to 
1C237, 1C240, 2B006, 2B109, 2B206, 2B207, 2B226, 2B350, 2D201, 3A229, 
3A232, 6A225, and 6E201.
    This final rule also revises the types of controls and/or the scope 
of certain controls that apply to the following ECCNs: 0D001 (now 
contains only DTC and NRC items), 0E001 (now contains only DOE and DTC 
items), 1B101 (scope of NP controls clarified), 1C235 (NP/AT controls 
added to tritium that is not subject to NRC export licensing 
authority), 1D101 (NP controls added to ``software'' for 1B101.a), 
1E001 (NP controls removed from ``technology'' for 1C001 and added to 
``technology'' for 1C002, 1C235, 1C239, and 1C240), 1E101 (NP controls 
added to ``technology'' for 1C116, 1D001 and 1D101), 1E102 (NP controls 
added to ``technology'' for 1D001 and 1D101), 2A226 (CB controls added 
to valves that meet or exceed 2B350.g specifications), 2A292 (CB 
controls added to valves that

[[Page 55595]]

meet or exceed 2B350.g specifications), 2B004 (scope of NP controls 
clarified), 2B007 (NP controls expanded to apply to 2B007.b, as well as 
2B007.c), 2B009 (MT/NP controls clarified), 2B104 (NP controls added to 
``isostatic presses''), 2B109 (NP controls clarified to apply only to 
items that meet or exceed 2B209 specifications), 2B116 (NP controls 
clarified to apply to electrodynamic vibration test systems in 2B116.a 
and to all items in 2B116.b, .c, and .d), 2D101 (NP controls added to 
``software'' for 2B104, 2B109, and 2B116; NS controls removed), 2E001 
(MT controls added for ``technology'' for 2B105 and 2B117; NP1 controls 
added for ``technology'' for 2A225, 2A226, 2B116, 2B201, 2B227, 2B230, 
2B232, 2D101, and 2D202; NP2 controls added for ``technology'' for 
2A291 to 2A293, 2B290, and 2D290), 2E002 (MT controls added for 
``technology'' for 2B105 and 2B117; NP1 controls added for 
``technology'' for 2A225, 2A226, 2B116, 2B201, 2B227, 2B230, and 2B232; 
NP2 controls added for ``technology'' for 2A291 to 2A293 and 2B290), 
2E101 (MT controls added to ``technology'' for 2B105, 2B117, and 2D001; 
NP controls added to ``technology'' for 2B009, 2D001, and 2D101), 2E201 
(NP controls removed from ``technology'' for 2B008 and added to 
``technology'' for 2B206 and 2D002; CB controls added to ``technology'' 
for valves controlled by 2A226 that meet or exceed 2B350.g 
specifications), 2E290 (CB controls added to ``technology'' for valves 
controlled by 2A292 that meet or exceed 2B350.g specifications), 3A001 
(NP controls added for 3A001.e.2 and e.3 that meet or exceed 
specifications in 3A201.a and 3A201.b, respectively), 3E001 (NP 
controls added to ``technology'' for 3A001.e.2 and .e.3), 3E201 (NP 
controls added to ``technology'' for 3A001.e.2 and .e.3), 6A005 (NP 
controls added to 6A005.c.2.b.2.a; NP controls clarified for 
6A005.a.1.c, .a.2.a, .a.4.c, .a.6, .c.1.b, .c.2.c.2, and .d.2.c), and 
6E001 (NP controls added to ``technology'' for 6D001).
    Eligibility for License Exception LVS is removed for items 
controlled for NP reasons in the following ECCNs: 1A002, 1C002, and 
3A001. License Exception LVS authorizes shipments of limited value 
without a license to destinations in Country Group B (Supplement No. 1 
to part 740 of the EAR), provided that the net value of the commodities 
included in the same order and controlled under the same ECCN on the 
CCL does not exceed the amount specified in the LVS paragraph for the 
applicable ECCN.
    In ECCN 1C236, which controls certain alpha-emitting radionuclides, 
the unit of measure is changed from ``millicuries'' to 
``gigabecquerels''. The unit of measure is the standard applied by BIS 
to determine the amount of an item that will be authorized for export 
or reexport under a license.
    This final rule also completely revises ECCN 0B003 by removing the 
original control language, which predated the adoption of the controls 
in the NSG Trigger List that apply to exports of nuclear material, 
equipment, and technology. ECCN 0B003 now contains plants for the 
conversion of uranium and equipment specially designed or prepared for 
such plants, all of which remain subject to the export licensing 
authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These plants were 
previously contained in ECCN 0B009, which is removed from the CCL. This 
change is part of BIS's effort to make the numbering of the CCL entries 
conform more closely with the List of Dual-Use Items and Technology 
implemented by the European Union (i.e., Annex 1 to Council Regulation 
(EC) No. 1334/2000 of June 22, 2000, as amended, which established a 
Community regime for the control of exports of dual-use items and 
technology). BIS anticipates that greater uniformity between the CCL 
and the EU dual-use list will decrease the administrative burden on 
exporters and lessen the chances of inadvertent noncompliance with 
various export control requirements.
    To further conform the numbering system in the CCL with the EU 
dual-use list, this final rule revises ECCN 2B104 and adds new ECCNs 
2B105 and 2B117. ECCN 2B104, which previously controlled equipment and 
process controls designed or modified for densification and pyrolysis 
of structural composite rocket nozzles and reentry vehicle nose tips, 
now controls only ``isostatic presses'' (other than those controlled by 
2B004) that have all of the following characteristics: (1) A maximum 
working pressure of 69 MPa or greater, (2) designed to achieve and 
maintain a controlled thermal environment of 873 K (600 deg. C) or 
greater, and (3) a chamber cavity with an inside diameter of 254 mm or 
greater. New ECCN 2B105 controls CVD furnaces (other than those 
controlled by 2B005.a) that are designed or modified for the 
densification of carbon-carbon composites. New ECCN 2B117 controls 
equipment and process controls (other than those controlled by 2B004, 
2B005.a, 2B104, or 2B105) that are designed or modified for 
densification and pyrolysis of structural composite rocket nozzles and 
reentry vehicle nose tips. ECCN 2B104 is now controlled for NP, as well 
as MT (missile technology) and AT (anti-terrorism) reasons, while new 
ECCNs 2B105 and 2B117 are controlled for MT and AT reasons.
    This rule also removes ECCN 0B008 and transfers the items 
previously controlled by this ECCN (i.e., simulators and ultrasonic or 
eddy current test equipment specially designed for nuclear reactors) to 
ECCN 2A291, which controls certain equipment related to nuclear 
material handling and processing.
    Finally, this rule amends the EAR to add Belarus, Cyprus, Slovenia, 
and Turkey as the four newest participating countries in the Nuclear 
Suppliers Group (which now includes a total of 39 countries) by 
revising Supplement No. 1 to part 740 (Country Groups) to add Belarus, 
Cyprus, Slovenia, and Turkey to Country Group A:4 (Nuclear Suppliers 
Group) and by revising Supplement No. 1 to Part 738 (Commerce Country 
Chart) to remove the licensing requirements for these four countries 
under NP Column 1 in conformance with the licensing policy that applies 
to other NSG member countries. Please note that exports of NP-
controlled items to these countries may require a license for other 
reasons set forth in the CCL or elsewhere in the EAR. This rule also 
amends Sec. 772.1, ``Definitions of terms as used in the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR)'', by adding these four countries to 
the definition of the term ``Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG)''.

Saving Clause

    Shipments of items removed from License Exception LVS eligibility 
or NLR authorization as a result of this regulatory action that were on 
dock for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or en 
route aboard a carrier to a port of export, on August 29, 2002, 
pursuant to actual orders for export to a foreign destination, may 
proceed to that destination under the previous License Exception LVS 
eligibility or NLR authorization provisions so long as they have been 
exported from the United States before September 30, 2002. Any such 
items not actually exported before midnight, on September 30, 2002, 
require a license in accordance with this regulation.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes 
of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty 
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork

[[Page 55596]]

Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays a 
currently valid OMB Control Number. This rule contains collections of 
information subject to the requirements of 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 0694-0088 
and 0694-0117.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for 
public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable 
because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs 
function of the United States (Sec. 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no 
other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an 
opportunity for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a 
notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are 
not required to be given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. 553 or by any 
other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable.
    Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there 
is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are 
welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be submitted to Willard 
Fisher, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 2705, 14th Street and Pennsylvania 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.

    c.2. An accelerator peak electron energy of 25 MeV or greater, and 
a ``peak power'' greater than 50 MW;

    Note: 3A201.c does not control accelerators that are component 
parts of devices designed for purposes other than electron beam or 
X-ray radiation (electron microscopy, for example) nor those 
designed for medical purposes.

    Technical Notes: (1) The ``figure of merit'' K is defined as: K = 
1.7 x 10\3\V2.65Q. V is the peak electron energy in million 
electron volts. If the accelerator beam pulse duration is less than or 
equal to 1 [mu]s, then Q is the total accelerated charge in Coulombs. 
If the accelerator beam pulse duration is greater than 1 [mu]s, then Q 
is the maximum accelerated charge in 1 [mu]s. Q equals the intergral of 
i with respect to t, over the lesser of 1 [mu]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 [mu]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 
beam current is the average current in the time duration of a bunched 
beam packet.

ECCN Controls: This entry does not control detonators using only 
primary explosives, such as lead azide.
Items:

    a. Electrically driven explosive detonators, as follows:
    a.1. Exploding bridge (EB);
    a.2. Exploding bridge wire (EBW);
    a.3. Slapper;
    a.4. Exploding foil initiators (EFI);
    b. Arrangements using single or multiple detonators designed to 
nearly simultaneously initiate an explosive surface over an area 
greater than 5,000 mm\2\ from a single firing signal with an initiation 
timing spread over the surface of less than 2.5 [mu]s.
    Technical Note: The detonators controlled by this entry 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 
a magnetic force. The term exploding foil detonator may refer to either 
a EB or a slapper-type detonator. Also, the word initiator is sometimes 
used in place of the word detonator.
