Exports and Reexports to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia: 
Lifting of UN Arms Embargo-Based Controls; Clarification of UN Arms 
Embargo-Based Controls on Rwanda

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) 
by removing the special controls on the export and reexport of arms-
related items imposed on July 14, 1998 on the Federal Republic of 
Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) (FRY). Consequently, arms embargo-
based licensing requirements for exports and reexports of certain items 
subject to the EAR (e.g., water cannon) to the FRY are removed, and a 
case-by-case license review policy is reinstated for the export and 
reexport of items controlled for regional stability and crime control 
reasons. This rule is consistent with United Nations Security Council 
(UNSC) Resolution 1367 of September 10, 2001, which terminated the 
international arms embargo against the FRY mandated by UNSC Resolution 
1160 of March 3, 1998. This rule also makes a minor clarification to 
the arms embargo-based controls in place with respect to Rwanda 
pursuant to UNSC Resolution 918 of May 17, 1994.

DATES: This rule is effective November 25, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Consistent with United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 
1160 of March 3, 1998, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), 
formerly the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA), imposed new 
controls on the export and reexport of arms-related items subject to 
the EAR to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) 
(FRY). UNSC Resolution 1160 mandated an embargo on the sale or supply 
of arms and arms-related mat[eacute]riel to the FRY. On July 14, 1998, 
BIS issued a rule consistent with the UNSC embargo against the FRY, 
applying a policy of denial on the export and reexport of items 
controlled for crime control and regional stability reasons and making 
additional items subject to control (e.g, certain shotgun shells, 
military helmets, water cannon and certain civil aircraft). BIS placed 
the specific provisions that implemented the embargo in section 746.9 
of the EAR.
    On September 10, 2001, in Resolution 1367, the UNSC terminated the 
international arms embargo against the FRY. Consistent with UNSC 
Resolution 1367, this rule removes the provisions in section 746.9 of 
the EAR that implemented the arms embargo against the FRY. With the 
publication of this rule, BIS is removing the UN arms embargo-based 
license requirements for the export and reexport of items controlled 
under Export Classification Control Numbers (ECCNs) 0A018, 0A984, 
0A985, 0A986, 0A987, 0A988, 0B986, 0E018, 0E984, 1A005, 1B018, 1C018, 
1C992 1D018, 2A993, 2B018, 2D018, 2E018, 6A002, 6A003, 6A018, 6E001, 
6E002, 8A018, 9A018, 9A991, 9D018, 9E018 to the FRY. BIS is removing 
altogether ECCN 0A989, water cannon and specially designed components 
for water cannon, because it was a UN arms embargo-based control 
applying solely to the FRY. BIS also is reinstating a case-by-case 
licensing policy for the export and reexport of these items controlled 
for crime control or regional stability reasons destined to the FRY.
    This rule also adds a new note number 4 in the License Exception 
sections of entries for ``Technology'' controlled by ECCNs 6E001 and 
6E002, making License Exception Technology and Software under 
Restriction (TSR) unavailable for exports or reexports of 6E001 and 
6E002 ``Technology'' to Rwanda, which is still subject to a UN arms 
embargo pursuant to UNSC Resolution 918 of May 17, 1994. With respect 
to Rwanda, ``Technology'' controlled by ECCN 6E001 is for the 
``development'' of equipment, materials or ``software'' controlled by 
Category 6A002 or 6A003, and ``Technology'' controlled by ECCN 6E002 is 
for the ``production'' of equipment or materials controlled by 6A002 or 
6A003. The license requirements for Rwanda are set forth in section 
746.8 of the EAR.
    Finally, this rule makes changes to sections 732.3 and 758.1 of the 
EAR to reflect the removal of the UN arms embargo-based controls 
against the FRY and removes Supplement 2 to part 746 describing 
international arms embargoes administered by the Department of State. 
For information on such embargoes, exporters are advised to consult 
with the Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for 
purposes of E.O. 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty 
for failure to comply with a collection of information, subject to the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), unless that 
collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control 
Number. This rule involves collections of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) These 
collections have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget 
under control number 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which 
carries a burden hour estimate of 40 minutes to prepare and submit 
electronically and 45 minutes to submit manually on form BIS-748P. Send 
comments regarding these burden

[[Page 70546]]

estimates or any other aspect of these collections of information, 
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to OMB Desk Officer, New 
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; and to the Regulatory 
Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of 
Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under 
Executive Order 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for 
public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable 
because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs 
function of the United States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other 
law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity 
for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a notice of 
proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not 
required to be given for this rule under 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 Sheila 
Quarterman, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Industry and 
Security, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
