SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Section 752 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) outlines 
the SCL Procedure which authorizes multiple shipments of items from the 
U.S. or from approved consignees abroad who are approved in advance by 
BIS to conduct the following activities: servicing, support services, 
stocking spare parts, maintenance, capital expansion, manufacturing, 
support scientific data acquisition, reselling and reexporting in the 
form received, and other activities as approved on a case-by-case 
basis. Section 753 of the EAR outlines requirements, procedures, and 
policies for the Special Intra-company License (SIL), whereby exporters 
with a proven record of conformance with the EAR can eliminate numerous 
individual licenses for technology exports, reexports, and in-country 
transfers within the corporate structure of a company, e.g., from a 
U.S. corporation to its wholly-owned subsidiaries, from one wholly-
owned subsidiary to another, and from the U.S. corporation to its 
foreign national employees in the U.S. or abroad.
