AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is amending the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding seven entities under seven
entries to the Entity List. These entities have been determined by the
U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or
foreign policy interests of the United States and will be listed on the
Entity List under the destination of the People's Republic of China
(China). This final rule also corrects typographical errors in two
existing entries on the Entity List.
DATES: This rule is effective August 24, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Additions to the Entity List
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 Sec.
744.11(b). The EAR imposes additional license requirements on, and
limits the availability of, most license exceptions for exports,
reexports, and transfers (in-country) to listed entities. 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 part 744 (Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) and
part 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.
This rule implements the ERC's decisions to add seven entities to the
Entity List on the basis of Sec. 744.11(b). Paragraphs (b)(1) through
(5) of Sec. 744.11 include an illustrative list of activities that
could be contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests
of the United States.
The ERC determined to add China Aerospace Science and Technology
Corporation (CASC) 9th Academy 771 Research Institute, China Aerospace
Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) 9th Academy 772 Research
Institute, China Academy of Space Technology 502 Research Institute,
China Academy of Space Technology 513 Research Institute, China
Electronics Technology Group Corporation 43 Research Institute, China
Electronics Technology Group Corporation 58 Research Institute, and
Zhuhai Orbita Control Systems to the Entity List for acquiring and
attempting to acquire U.S.-origin items in support of China's military
modernization efforts. This activity is contrary to national security
and foreign policy interests under Sec. 744.11(b) of the EAR. For
these seven entities added to the Entity List, BIS imposes a license
requirement for all items subject to the EAR. For these seven entities,
BIS will review license applications under a presumption of denial.
For the reasons described above, this final rule adds the following
seven entities under seven entries to the Entity List and includes,
where appropriate, aliases:
China
<bullet> China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC)
9th Academy 771 Research Institute,
<bullet> China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC)
9th Academy 772 Research Institute,
<bullet> China Academy of Space Technology 502 Research Institute,
<bullet> China Academy of Space Technology 513 Research Institute,
<bullet> China Electronics Technology Group Corporation 43 Research
Institute,
<bullet> China Electronics Technology Group Corporation 58 Research
Institute, and
<bullet> Zhuhai Orbita Control Systems
Corrections to the Entity List
This final rule also makes typographical corrections to two
existing entities on the Entity List. Beijing Tianhua and Tenfine Ltd.
are revised by correcting ``Haidain'' to ``Haidian'' in their
addresses.

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 August 24, 2022,
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).
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
collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088,
Simplified Network Application Processing System, which includes, among
other things, license applications and commodity classifications, and
carries a burden estimate of 29.4 minutes for a manual or electronic
submission for a total burden estimate of 33,133 hours. Total burden
hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 are not
expected to increase as a result of this rule.
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.
