DEPARTMENT OF STATE

22 CFR Part 121

[Public Notice 4209]
RIN AB-60


Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, 
United States Munitions List

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of State is revising Category V--Explosives, 
Propellants, Incendiary Agents, and Their Constituents and Category 
XIV--Toxicological Agents and Equipment and Radiological Equipment, of 
the U.S. Munitions List (USML). Amendments are made to the titles of 
both categories to better reflect the items included in the category 
and to move the texts of the definitional and interpretive provisions 
to the appropriate category. Also, to assist exporters, Category V and 
XIV are reformatted to identify the items by their predominant use. 
Exporters are also being provided Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) 
numbers and Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) references. In addition 
to reformatting and changes in the language for clarification, Category 
XIV and Category V are revised to move from the USML to the 
jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce several items that have been 
identified as having predominantly commercial application and no 
significant military applicability. The items so transferred in 
Category XIV are fluorine, liquid pepper and chloropicrin. The items so 
transferred in Category V are nitroguanidine (NG), guanidine nitrate, 
compounds composed of fluorine and one or more of the following: Other 
halogens, oxygen, nitrogen, and propyleneimide 2-methylaziridine, 
unless the articles are compounded or mixed with any item controlled by 
the USML.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 27, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of rulemaking provides the 
results of a review, by the Department of State in consultation with 
the Departments of Defense and Commerce, of Category V and XIV of the 
U.S. Munitions List. To better reflect the items included in each 
category, the titles are amended. To assist the exporter, the 
definitional and interpretive provisions from Sec.  121.12 and Sec.  
121.13 are moved to Category V, those from Sec.  121.7 to Category XIV, 
and the numbered sections are captioned ``Reserved''. Also to assist 
the exporter, Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers and Chemical 
Weapons Convention (CWC) references are being provided. Exporters are 
advised that the CAS numbers do not cover all the substances and 
mixtures controlled by the categories and CWC numbers are provided only 
when deemed appropriate.
    In addition to amending the title and adding CAS numbers, the 
coverage of Category V, paragraph (c) is amended to add (c)(4) to 
cover, in addition to fuels for category VIII, fuels for the items in 
Category IV and VI. The fuels for category IV and VI articles are 
currently controlled by the components, parts and accessories paragraph 
in each of the categories. A new paragraph (c)(7) has been added to 
category V to clarify control of pyrotechnics that currently are 
covered by Category (V), paragraph (d). The language in section 121.13 
is removed and the section ``reserved'', and the language in section 
121.13 is now in Category V, paragraphs (c)(4) and (c)(9). The fuel 
thickeners currently in Category V, paragraph (b) are moved to 
paragraph (c) resulting in propellants in paragraph (c) being moved to 
paragraph (b). The compounds currently in Category V, paragraph (e) are 
moved to the relevant paragraph in the category in which the article is 
covered (e.g., binders, additives, etc.) and the technical data and 
services currently in paragraph (f) are moved to a new paragraph (h).
    The amendments in Category XIV, in addition to changing the title 
and adding CAS numbers and CWC references, include the transfer to 
Category XVI of nuclear radiation detection and measuring devices 
currently in paragraph (d) of Category XIV. The inclusion of this 
coverage in Category XVI will be published in the results of the review 
of the entire category XVI. Paragraph (d) now controls tear gases and 
riot control agents. The equipment in paragraph (c) for the 
dissemination, detection, identification and defense of the articles in 
this category is moved to paragraph (f) and paragraph (k). Paragraph 
(c) now covers chemical agent binary precursors and key precursors. 
Paragraph (f), currently covering technical data, is revised re-
designate paragraph (f) as Significant Military Equipment (SME) and to 
cover items currently in Category X(c) of the USML. Category XIV, 
paragraph (f) now includes equipment and its components, parts, 
accessories, and attachments specifically designed or modified for 
military operations and compatibility with military equipment (e.g., 
the dissemination, dispersion, testing, detection, identification, 
warning, monitoring, sample collection and processing; and individual 
protection of the chemical and biological agents listed in paragraphs 
(a) and (b) of the category). This includes military protective 
clothing and masks, but not those items designed for domestic 
preparedness (e.g., civil defense), collective protection, and 
decontamination or remediation. These movements resulted in the 
technical data currently in paragraph (f) being moved to a new 
paragraph (l). The components, parts, accessories, attachments and 
associated equipment for the items in category XIV, currently in 
paragraph (e), are moved to a new paragraph (k), and paragraph (e) now 
covers defoliants. The coverage of defoliants is expanded to include 
Agent Orange.
    The remaining new paragraphs (e.g. (d), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), 
and (m)) added to Category XIV are for clarification, specific 
identification and movement of the articles currently covered in the 
category, and for transfer of the language in section 121.7.
    In addition to the above amendments, four explosives and three 
chemicals were identified as having predominant civil use warranting 
their removal from the USML and transfer to the Commerce Control List. 
In Category V, the items and examples of their commercial use are: 
Nitroguanidine (NG) (e.g., used in pet insecticides), guanidine nitrate 
(e.g., used in disinfectants and photographic chemicals), 
propyleneimide 2-methulaziridine (e.g., used by paint and 
pharmaceutical manufacturers), and compounds composed of fluorine and 
one or more of the following: Other halogens, oxygen, nitrogen (e.g., 
used in freon). In Category XIV, the items and examples of their 
commercial use are: Fluorine (e.g., used in production of metallic and 
other fluoride and fluorocarbons, and as an active constituent of 
fluoridating compounds used in water and toothpaste), liquid pepper 
(e.g., derived from cayenne pepper and used by both for law enforcement 
and in commercially available sprays for personal protection), and 
chloropicrin (e.g., used in commercial fumigants and soil insecticides, 
and as a disinfectant for cereals and grains). In accordance with the 
requirements of Section 38(f) of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), 
this removal has been notified to the Congress, and the Commerce 
Control List (CCL) controls identified are: (1) For propyleneimide 2-
methulaziridine and compounds composed of fluorine and one or more of 
the following: Other halogens, oxygen, and nitrogen--ECCN 1C018; (2) 
nitroguanidine (NG) and guanidine nitrate--ECCN 1C011, (3) for 
chloropicrin--ECCN 1C355, (4) for liquid pepper--ECCN 1A984, and for 
fluorine--ECCN EAR99.
    Finally, Category X, Protective Personnel Equipment, is amended to 
delete the current paragraph (c) and renumber the paragraphs since 
protective apparel and equipment specifically designed or modified for 
use with toxicological agents and equipment is now covered by paragraph 
(f) of Category XIV.
    This amendment involves a foreign affairs function of the United 
States and, therefore, is not subject to the procedures required by 5 
U.S.C. 553 and 554. It is exempt from review under Executive Order 
12866, but has been reviewed internally by the Department of State to 
ensure consistency with the purposes thereof. This rule does not 
require analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act or the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act. It has been found not to be a major rule within 
the meaning of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Act of 1966. 
It will not have substantial direct effects on the States, the 
relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of 
government. Therefore, in accordance with section 6 of Executive Order 
13132, it is determined that this rule does not have sufficient 
federalism implications to warrant application of Executive Orders Nos. 
12372 and 13123. However, affected U.S. persons are invited to submit 
written comments to the Department of State, Office of Defense Trade 
Controls, ATTN: Stephen Tomchik, Regulatory Change, USML Categories V 
and XIV, 12th Floor, SA-1, Washington, DC 20522-0112.
