Chair, End-User Review Committee, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Export Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, Phone: [phone], Email: [e-mail].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the EAR (15 CFR parts 730–774)) identifies entities for which there is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that the entities have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States, pursuant to § 744.11(b). The EAR impose additional license requirements on, and limit the availability of, most license exceptions for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) when a listed entity is a party to the transaction. The license review policy for each listed entity is identified in the “License Review Policy” column on the Entity List, and the impact on the availability of license exceptions is described in the relevant Federal Register document that added the entity to the Entity List. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) places entities on the Entity List pursuant to parts 744 (Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) and 746 (Embargoes and Other Special Controls) of the EAR.

The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions regarding additions to, removals from, or other modifications to the Entity List. The ERC makes all decisions to add an entry to the Entity List by majority vote and makes all decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote.

Entity List Decisions

Additions to the Entity List

Pursuant to § 744.11 of the EAR, the ERC determined to add the following entities to the entity list: Asia Pacific Links Ltd. under the destination of China; Evolog Oy, Luminor Oy, and Siberica Oy under the destination of Finland; ICW-Industrial Components Weirich under the destination of Germany; and Device Consulting, Grant Instrument, SMT-iLogic, and Streloy under the destination of Russia. These entities have been implicated in a conspiracy to violate U.S. export controls, including a scheme to supply the Special Technology Center, an entity on the BIS Entity List, with components to make unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for Russia's Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff (GRU). This activity is contrary to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests under § 744.11 of the EAR.

The ERC determined to add Speed Business Trading (HK) Ltd. and Sunrising Logistics (HK) Ltd. to the Entity List under the destination of China, on the basis of actions and activities that are contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States. Specifically, these companies have procured and/or attempted to procure U.S.-origin items that would ultimately support Iran's weapons of mass destruction and UAV programs.

The ERC determined to add Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology to the Entity List. This entity is added to the Entity List under the destination of China for procuring U.S.-origin items in likely furtherance of Chinese military research, and contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States, under § 744.11 of the EAR.

The ERC determined to add International Smart Digital Interface Company (ISDIC) and associated individual Moaz Ahmed Mohammed al-Haifi to the Entity List under the destination of Oman for actions contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States under § 744.11 of the EAR. Specifically, these entities have provided support to Yemen-based Houthi forces.

For these fourteen entities added to the Entity List, there is a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR. License applications will be reviewed pursuant under a presumption of denial.

The ERC determined to add the following entities to the Entity List for contributions to Pakistan's unsafeguarded nuclear activities: New Era Enterprises FZE under the destination of the United Arab Emirates; Well Fair International (Hong Kong) Ltd. under the destination of China; and AHD International; Genesis Technical Consultancy Services; Indus Tooling Solution; Longford Engineering (Pvt) Ltd; and Polymaster Engineering under the destination of Pakistan. These seven entities require a license for all items subject to the EAR. License applications will be reviewed pursuant to § 744.2(d) of the EAR.

The ERC determined to add VSMPO–AVISMA Corporation PJSC to the Entity List under the destination of Russia for representing a critical risk of diversion of U.S defense technologies. VSMPO–AVISMA is directly involved in producing and manufacturing titanium and metal products for the Russian military and security services. The ERC has determined that this entity qualifies as a military end-user as defined in § 744.21(a)(2) of the EAR and is therefore receiving a footnote 3 designation because it is a Russian or Belarusian `military end user.' A footnote 3 designation subjects this entity to the Russia/Belarus-Military End User Foreign Direct Product (FDP) rule, detailed in § 734.9(g). This entity is added with a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR, and a license review policy of denial.

The ERC determined to add Guilin Alpha Rubber & Plastics Technology Company Limited, Hangzhou Fuyang Koto Machinery Company Limited, Raven International Trade Limited, S&C Trade PTY Company Limited, Shenzhen Caspro Technology Company Limited (Shenzhen Caspro), and an employee of Shenzhen Caspro, Yun Xia Yuan to the Entity List, all under the destination of China, for working as a network to procure aerospace components, including dual-use components for unmanned aerial vehicle applications, for the Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Company (HESA). The aerospace components are used to develop and produce Shahed-series UAVs, which have been used by Iran to attack oil tankers in the Middle East and by Russia in Ukraine. These activities are contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States under § 744.11. The ERC has determined that these six entities qualify as military end-users as defined in § 744.21(a)(2) of the EAR and are therefore receiving footnote 3 designations because they are Russian or Belarusian `military end users.' A footnote 3 designation subjects these entities to the Russia/Belarus-Military End User FDP rule, detailed in § 734.9(g). These entities are added with a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR, and a license review policy of denial, apart from food and medicine designated as EAR99, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

For the reasons described above, this final rule adds the following 28 entities to the Entity List and includes, where appropriate, aliases:

China

• Asia Pacific Links Ltd.;
• Guilin Alpha Rubber & Plastics Technology Company Limited;
• Hangzhou Fuyang Koto Machinery Company Limited;
• Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology;

Modifications to the Entity List

In this final rule, BIS is revising two existing entries on the Entity List. The ERC has determined to modify the existing entry for Akhtar & Munir, first added to the Entity List under the destination of Pakistan on March 22, 2018 (86 FR 12479), by adding one alias, one address, and revising the license review policy to reference § 744.2(d) of the EAR. The ERC has determined to modify the existing entry for ICSOSO Electronics Co. Ltd., first added to the Entity List under the destination of China on June 30, 2022 (87 FR 38925), by adding seven aliases and six addresses to the entry.

ERC MEU List Decisions

Removals From the MEU List

Pursuant to the procedures detailed in supplement no. 5 to part 744 of the EAR, this final rule removes Zhejiang Perfect New Material Co., Ltd, an entity located in China, from the Military End User List (MEU List) (supplement no. 7 to part 744). The entry for this entity was added to the MEU List on December 23, 2020 (85 FR 83799, December 23, 2020). The ERC determined to remove the entry for Zhejiang Perfect New Material Co., Ltd from the MEU List on the basis of a request for removal submitted to BIS pursuant to § 744.21(b)(2) of the EAR.

This final rule removes the following one entity, located in China, from the MEU List:

China

• Zhejiang Perfect New Material Co., Ltd.

Savings Clause

For the changes being made in this final rule, shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception or export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) as a result of this regulatory action that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of export, reexport, or transfer (in-country), on September 27, 2023 pursuant to actual orders for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or within a foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility for a License Exception or export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) before October 27, 2023. Any such items not actually exported, reexported or transferred (in-country) before midnight, on October 27, 2023, require a license in accordance with this final rule.

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (50 U.S.C. 4801–4852). ECRA provides the legal basis for BIS's principal authorities and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this rule.

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 or be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This regulation involves an information collection approved by OMB under control number 0694–0088, Simplified Network Application Processing System. BIS does not anticipate a change to the burden hours associated with this collection as a result of this rule. Information regarding the collection, including all supporting materials, can be accessed at https://www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAMain.

3. This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.

4. Pursuant to section 1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, this action is exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requirements for notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date.

5. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 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. Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required, and none has been prepared.
