Abstract
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a rule in the Federal Register on October 17, 2023, that amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to revise the existing Validated End- User (VEU) list for the People's Republic of China (PRC) for Samsung China Semiconductor Co. Ltd. and SK hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd. That rule inadvertently omitted two amendments to the list of VEUs, which resulted in failure to add a word to the description of eligible items for SK Hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd.; as well as the failure to remove the entry for SK hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi), which was necessary because SK hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi) recently merged with SK hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd. This rule corrects both omissions.

Existing Validated End-User Authorizations in the People's
Republic of China: Samsung China Semiconductor Co. Ltd. and SK hynix
Semiconductor (China)) Ltd; Correction
AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a rule in
the Federal Register on October 17, 2023, that amended the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) to revise the existing Validated End-
User (VEU) list for the People's Republic of China (PRC) for Samsung
China Semiconductor Co. Ltd. and SK hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd.
That rule inadvertently omitted two amendments to the list of VEUs,
which resulted in failure to add a word to the description of eligible
items for SK Hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd.; as well as the failure
to remove the entry for SK hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi), which was
necessary because SK hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi) recently merged with SK
hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd. This rule corrects both omissions.
DATES: This rule is effective November 8, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
published in the Federal Register of October 17, 2023, in FR Doc. 2023-
22873, starting on page 71478, amendments to the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) to revise the existing Validated End-User (VEU) list
for the People's Republic of China (PRC) for Samsung China
Semiconductor Co. Ltd. and SK hynix Semiconductor (China)) Ltd.
This rule corrects for two inadvertently omitted amendments to
update the list of VEUs: the first correction adds a word to the
description of eligible items for SK Hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd.;
and the second removes the entry for SK hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi)
Ltd., which recently merged with SK hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd.,
thereby making the entry for SK hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi) Ltd.
duplicative.
Correction
BIS amends the EAR's ``Supplement No. 7 to Part 748--Authorization
Validated End-User (VEU): List of Validated End-Users, Respective Items
Eligible for Export, Reexport and Transfer (In-Country), and Eligible
Destinations'':
<bullet> by adding the word ``therefor,'' after the word
``technology'' in the description in the ``Eligible items (by ECCN)''
column for ``SK hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd.''; and
<bullet> by removing the entry for ``SK hynix Semiconductor (Wuxi)
Ltd.'' in ``China (People's Republic of)''.
List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 748
Administrative practice and procedure, Exports, Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, part 748 of the EAR (15 CFR parts 730-774) is
corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
