-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is amending the
Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by revising certain entries in
Categories 3, 4, and 5 of the Commerce Control List (CCL) to conform
with changes made to the International Industrial List (IL) before the
dissolution of the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export
Controls (COCOM) on March 31, 1994. The COCOM changes require certain
conforming revisions to General License GLX. A policy decision on
foreign availability of telecommunications is announced.
This rule also revises the countries that are included in Country
Groups V, W, and Y and amends the special country policies provisions
in the EAR to reflect the changes in licensing policy for the countries
that have been moved from one country group to another.
This rule amends the documentation requirements provisions of the
EAR to substitute the Form BXA-629P (Statement by Ultimate Consignee
and Purchaser) for the Yugoslav End-Use Certificate requirement.
Finally, this rule amends the documentation requirements provisions in
the EAR to implement Import Certificate/Delivery Verification (IC/DV)
procedures for Bulgaria and Romania.
DATES: Effective date: This rule is effective May 9, 1994.
Grace period: A 60-day grace period will apply to the requirement
to obtain a Bulgarian or Romanian Import Certificate in support of
export or reexport license applications. During the grace period,
applications will be accepted when supported by either a Form BXA-629P
(Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser) or a Bulgarian or
Romanian Import Certificate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This final rule revises new General License GLX (59 FR 15621) to
resolve certain ambiguities and to reflect changes in national security
controls. For instance, Supplement No. 1 to part 771 is revised to
delete 4A03.c and 4A03.b because the paragraph references are now
incorrect and new Administrative Exception Notes make listing on the
Supplement unnecessary.
This rule amends a number of ECCNs in the Commerce Control List
(CCL) to conform with recent changes in the COCOM International
Industrial List (IL). ECCN 3A01.a.3 is revised to control
``microprocessor microcircuits'', ``microcomputer microcircuits'', and
microcontroller microcircuits that:
(1) Have an arithmetic logic unit with an access width of 32 bit or
more and a ``composite theoretical performance'' (``CTP'') of 80
million theoretical operations per second (Mtops) or more; (2) are
manufactured from a compound semiconductor and operate at a clock
frequency exceeding 40 MHz; or (3) have more than one data or
instruction bus or serial communication port for external
interconnection in a parallel processor with a transfer rate exceeding
2.5 Mbyte/s. ECCN 3A01.e.1 is revised to indicate that it does not
control batteries with volumes equal to or less than 27 cm3 (e.g.,
standard C-cells or R-14 batteries).
This rule also revises ECCN 3C03A to control organo-arsenic,
organo-antimony, and organo-phosphorus compounds having a purity
(inorganic element basis) better than 99.999%. In addition, a Note is
added to 3C03A indicating that the entry controls only those compounds
whose metallic, partly metallic or non-metallic element is directly
linked to carbon in the organic part of the molecule.
This rule removes specific control language in ECCN 4A03A
applicable to: (1) Disk drives and solid state storage equipment and
input/output control units designed for use with such equipment and (2)
color displays and monitors.
ECCN 4A03A retains specific control parameters for ``assemblies''
and graphics accelerators or graphics coprocessors. ECCN 4A03A
controls: (1) ``assemblies'' that are specially designed or modified to
be capable of enhancing performance by aggregation of ``computing
elements'' (``CEs'') so that the ``CTP'' of the aggregation exceeds 260
Mtops and (2) graphics accelerators or graphics coprocessors exceeding
a ``3-D Vector Rate'' of 1,600,000.
The following changes are made in the Notes for Category 4: (1)
Advisory Notes 1 and 2 are revised to conform with the new paragraph
designations in ECCN 4A03A (there are no changes in the administrative
exceptions levels); (2) Advisory Note 3 is revised by establishing new
administrative exceptions treatment levels for exports to Country
Groups Q, W, and Y and the People's Republic of China for ``digital
computers'' (a ``CTP'' not exceeding 1,000 Mtops), graphics
accelerators or graphics coprocessors (a ``3-D vector rate'' not
exceeding 3 million) and equipment specially designed to provide for
the external interconnection of ``digital computers'' or associated
equipment (a total data transfer rate not exceeding 400 MByte/second);
(3) Advisory Note 4 is removed and reserved because 4A03A no longer
contains control parameters that apply specifically to disk drives and
input/output control units therefor; (4) Advisory Note 6 is revised by
establishing new favorable consideration levels for Country Groups Q,
W, and Y and the People's Republic of China for ``digital'' computers
(a ``CTP'' not exceeding 1,500 Mtops) and for graphics accelerators or
graphics coprocessors and equipment specially designed to provide for
the external interconnection of ``digital'' computers; (5) Advisory
Note 7 is revised to conform with the new paragraph designations in
ECCN 4A03A (there are no changes in the favorable consideration
levels), and (8) a new Advisory Note 8 is added to provide
administrative exceptions treatment for equipment controlled by 4A03.g
that is exported for use in interconnecting peripheral equipment to
``digital computers'' not controlled by 4A03.b.
In the telecommunications section of Category 5, ECCN 5A02A is
revised to control modems using the ``bandwidth of one voice channel''
with a ``data signalling rate'' exceeding 28,800 bit/s. Previously,
ECCN 5A02A controlled modems exceeding 19,200 bit/s. On January 13,
1994, BXA published a determination that foreign availability exists
within the meaning of the Export Administration Act (EAA) for certain
telecommunications equipment controlled under ECCN 5A02.a to Country
Groups Q, W, Y, Z, and the People's Republic of China (59 FR 1924). The
determination applies to telecommunications transmission equipment
employing digital techniques, including digital processing of analog
signals, and designed to operate at digital transfer rates up to 623
Mbit/s.
The determination notice specified that the Administration would
enter into negotiations to preserve national security interests
concerning this equipment. The Administration intends to negotiate to
remove foreign availability of this high technology equipment to
military end-users in Country Groups Q, W, Y, and the People's Republic
of China.
It has been determined that the validated license requirement is
retained on telecommunications equipment controlled by ECCN 5A02.a to
military end-users and for military end-uses in Country Groups Q, W, Y
and the People's Republic of China, consistent with EAA section
5(c)(6), to allow meaningful negotiations to take place. Section
5(c)(6) permits the Secretary of Commerce to maintain controls,
notwithstanding foreign availability, for an initial period of six
months. For purposes of this control, military end-users and end-uses
include conventional military activities and all proliferation
activities described in Part 778 of this subchapter.
This action does not affect the control status of this equipment to
other end-users or destinations. General License GLX continues to be
available for shipments of equipment controlled by ECCN 5A02, except
5A02.h and .i, to civilian end-users and for civilian end-uses in
Country Groups QWY and the PRC. In addition, all of ECCN 5A02 remains
eligible for General License GFW to Country Groups T & V, except Iran,
Syria, and the PRC. Foreign policy controls are retained on all items
controlled by ECCN 5A02 to Country Groups S and Z, Iran and Syria, and
the South African military and police. Exporters are also reminded that
the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control
maintains prohibitions on exports to Iraq, Haiti, and the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).
In the Notes for Telecommunications in Category 5, Advisory Notes
1, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 19 are revised, and new Advisory
Notes 23 through 27 are added. Advisory Note 8 is revised to provide
administrative exceptions treatment to the People's Republic of China
for test, inspection, and production equipment controlled by 5B01A or
5B02A and ``software'' and technology for such equipment. Advisory
Notes 11, 12, and 13 are revised to restrict their application to
Albania, Bulgaria, the People's Republic of China, Mongolia, Romania,
and Vietnam. Advisory Notes 14 and 17 are revised to clarify which
parties are responsible for the supervision of controlled spare parts.
Advisory Note 15 is revised to restrict its application to Bulgaria
and Romania. Advisory Note 16 is revised to restrict its application to
Albania, Bulgaria, Mongolia, Romania, and Vietnam. Advisory Note 19 is
revised by removing references to the Czech Republic and the Slovak
Republic. Notes 25 and 27 are added.
This rule revises the country policy provisions in Sec. 785.2 to
conform with changes in licensing policies for proscribed countries.
This rule also moves Poland, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic
from Country Group W to Country Group V. As a result of this change,
Poland and the Czech and Slovak Republics are now eligible for exports
under certain special license procedures (e.g., the Distribution
License Procedure) and general licenses (e.g., General License GFW).
This rule also amends the EAR to include new supporting document
requirements based on the implementation of Import Certificate/Delivery
Verification (IC/DV) procedures for Bulgaria and Romania. Bulgarian and
Romanian ICs and DVs are issued by the respective Ministries of Trade
in each country. Supplement No. 1 to Part 775 is amended to add the
addresses of these issuing agencies.
This rule also amends Supplement No. 1 to Part 775 by revising the
name of the agency that issues Indian Import Certificates to small
scale industries and entities.
On January 2, 1992 (57 FR 8), the Bureau of Export Administration
(BXA) published a final rule clarifying that the geographical area
formerly known as the Soviet Union remained a controlled destination as
listed in Country Group Y. That rule allowed exporters to use the
designation ``Union of Soviet Socialist Republics'', ``Soviet Union'',
or ``USSR'' on export control documents involving that geographic area
until new political entities were identified. This final rule revises
Supplement No. 1 to part 770, Supplement No. 5 to part 778, and
Sec. 785.2(a)(1) to include a listing of the states located in the
geographic area of the former Soviet Union. These new designations
should be used on all export control documents.
The dissolution of the former Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (Yugoslavia) has raised questions among exporters concerning
the export control requirements for that geographic area. The
geographic area formerly known as Yugoslavia continues to fall within
Country Group V. At this time, the provisions of the EAR that apply to
this area remain unchanged, except that this rule revises the
documentation requirements to substitute a Form BXA-629P, Statement by
Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser, for the Yugoslav End-Use Certificate
requirement. In addition, this rule eliminates the Yugoslav End-Use
Certificate requirement for exports/reexports under the Distribution
License and the Service Supply Procedure.
The Consignee/Purchaser Statement procedure set forth in Sec. 775.2
provides a broader range of exemptions than was previously available
under Sec. 775.5 for the Yugoslav End-Use Certificate.
Finally, this rule revises Sec. 776.10(a)(2) to make the special
documentation requirements for exports to Country Groups QWY and the
People's Republic of China of electronic computers and related
equipment conform with the revisions made by this rule in the Advisory
Notes for Category 4.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
2. 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 0694-0002, 0694-0005, 0694-0007, 0694-0008, 0694-
0010, 0694-0013, 0694-0015, 0694-0017, 0694-0021, 0694-0073, and 0694-
0078.
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 section
553 of 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 the effective date, are
inapplicable because this regulation involves a military or foreign
affairs function of the United States. Further, no other law requires
that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public
comment be given for this rule.
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 Sharron
Cook, Office of Technology and Policy Analysis, Bureau of Export
Administration, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC
20044.

(a)(1) The Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (EAA)
states that it is the policy of the United States to encourage trade
with all countries with which we have diplomatic or trading relations,
except those countries with which such trade has been determined by the
President to be against the national interest. The Act also states that
it is the policy of the United States to restrict the export of goods
and technical data that would make a significant contribution to the
military potential of any other country or combination of countries
that would prove detrimental to the national security of the United
States. Accordingly, and in compliance with the other sections of the
EAA, the Department conducts a continuing review of commodities and
technical data to assure that prior approval is required for the export
or reexport of U.S.-origin commodities and technical data to Albania,
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, Russia, Romania,
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Vietnam only if the
commodities or technical data have a potential for being used in a
manner that would prove detrimental to the national security of the
United States. The general policy of the Department is to approve
applications or requests to export or reexport such commodities and
technical data to these destinations when the Department determines, on
a case-by-case basis, that the commodities or technical data are for
civilian use or would otherwise not make a significant contribution to
the military potential of the country of destination that would prove
detrimental to the national security of the United States. However, in
recognition of efforts made to adopt safeguard measures for exports,
Bulgaria, Latvia, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Mongolia, and Russia are
accorded enhanced favorable consideration licensing treatment.
* * * * *
(b) See parts 776 and 778 of this subchapter for foreign policy
based controls governing exports to Country Groups Q, W, and Y.
(c) Country Group Q. Romania (Country Group Q) has been determined
to present a lesser strategic threat, and has adopted safeguard
measures to protect against the diversion of national security
controlled items. In recognition of these facts, the Commerce Control
List includes several Advisory Notes that indicate likelihood of
approval or favorable consideration for export to satisfactory end-
users in Country Group Q. Items not eligible for favorable
consideration will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
