Abstract

In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) makes changes to the Russia and Belarus sanctions under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). This final rule imposes additional export control measures against Russia and Belarus by expanding the scope of items identified under two EAR supplements that are subject to the EAR's Russian and Belarusian industry sector sanctions; imposing a "software" license requirement for certain EAR99-designated "software" when destined to or within Russia or Belarus; and narrowing the scope of commodities and software that may be authorized for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or within Russia or Belarus under License Exception Consumer Communications Devices (CCD). To promote clarity and facilitate compliance, this final rule also consolidates the EAR's Russian and Belarus sanctions into a single section, while maintaining the existing related regulatory supplements identifying items that are subject to certain of those sanctions. This final rule also amends the EAR by adding five entities and eight addresses to the Entity List and making changes to the Entity List structure. These entries are listed on the Entity List under the destinations of the People's Republic of China (China) and Russia and have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. Lastly, this final rule makes two additional revisions to the EAR: one to confirm the criteria used when revising, suspending, or revoking EAR license exceptions and one revision to clarify the control status of fasteners for purposes of the EAR's Russian and Belarusian industry sector sanctions.

Implementation of Additional Sanctions Against Russia and Belarus 
Under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and Refinements to 
Existing Controls

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 
makes changes to the Russia and Belarus sanctions under the Export 
Administration Regulations (EAR). This final rule imposes additional 
export control measures against Russia and Belarus by expanding the 
scope of items identified under two EAR supplements that are subject to 
the EAR's Russian and Belarusian industry sector sanctions; imposing a 
``software'' license requirement for certain EAR99-designated 
``software'' when destined to or within Russia or Belarus; and 
narrowing the scope of commodities and software that may be authorized 
for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or within Russia or 
Belarus under License Exception Consumer Communications Devices (CCD). 
To promote clarity and facilitate compliance, this final rule also 
consolidates the EAR's Russian and Belarus sanctions into a single 
section, while maintaining the existing related regulatory supplements 
identifying items that are subject to certain of those sanctions. This 
final rule also amends the EAR by adding five entities and eight 
addresses to the Entity List and making changes to the Entity List 
structure. These entries are listed on the Entity List under the 
destinations of the People's Republic of China (China) and Russia and 
have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to 
the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. 
Lastly, this final rule makes two additional revisions to the EAR: one 
to confirm the criteria used when revising, suspending, or revoking EAR 
license exceptions and one revision to clarify the control status of 
fasteners for purposes of the EAR's Russian and Belarusian industry 
sector sanctions.

DATES: This rule is effective on June 12, 2024, except for amendatory 
instruction 14, which is effective September 16, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

A. Export Controls Implemented Against Russia and Belarus

    In response to Russia's February 2022 full-scale invasion of 
Ukraine, BIS imposed extensive sanctions on Russia under the EAR as 
part of the final rule, ``Implementation of Sanctions Against Russia 
Under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)'' (``Russia Sanctions 
Rule'') (87 FR 12226, March 3, 2022). To address Belarus's complicity 
in the invasion, BIS imposed similar sanctions on Belarus under the EAR 
in a final rule, ``Implementation of Sanctions Against Belarus'' 
(``Belarus Sanctions Rule'') (87 FR 13048, March 6, 2022). During the 
last two years, BIS has published a number of additional final rules 
strengthening the export controls on Russia and Belarus, including 
measures undertaken in coordination with U.S. allies and partners.

B. Overview of This Final Rule

    In this final rule, BIS makes changes to the Russia and Belarus 
sanctions under the EAR along with certain changes that are not 
specific to those two countries. Certain of these changes (see section 
II.A) are designed to better protect U.S. national security and foreign 
policy interests by expanding the scope of the current sanctions. 
Others (see sections II.B and C) will promote clarity and facilitate 
compliance. The four sets of changes this final rule makes are 
described in section II as follows:
    A. Additional export control measures against Russia and Belarus;
    B. Consolidation of Russia and Belarus sanctions into a single 
section;
    C. Additions to the Entity List and changes to the Entity List 
structure; and
    D. Confirmation of the standard used in connection with actions 
involving the availability of license exceptions and clarification of 
the scope of a commodity subject to the Russian and Belarusian industry 
sanctions.

II. Amendments to the EAR

A. Additional Export Control Measures Against Russia and Belarus

    This final rule imposes additional export control measures against 
Russia and Belarus by expanding the scope of items that are subject to 
the Russian and Belarusian industry sector sanctions under supplement 
nos. 4 and 6 to part 746 (see section II.A.1 and II.A.2); imposing a 
``software'' license requirement for certain EAR99-designated 
``software'' when destined for Russia or Belarus; and narrowing the 
scope of commodities and software that may be authorized for export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or within Russia and Belarus 
under License Exception CCD.
    1. Expansion of Russian and Belarusian industry sector sanctions by 
adding items to supplement no. 4 to part 746 consistent with the 
objective to undermine Russia's and Belarus's industrial bases and 
their ability to continue to support Russia's military aggression in 
Ukraine.
    This rule expands the list of items set forth in supplement no. 4 
to part 746 (Russian and Belarusian Industry Sector Sanctions Pursuant 
to Sec.  746.5(a)(1)(ii)) (this final rule relocates the restrictions 
of Sec.  746.5(a)(1)(ii) to Sec.  746.8(a)(5)), as detailed below in 
section II.B.2. Specifically, this rule adds 522 additional Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule (HTS)-6 Code entries to supplement no. 4; consequently, 
these items will now require a license for export to, reexport to, or 
transfer (in-country) within Russia or Belarus under Sec.  746.8(a)(5). 
Restrictions on these industrial items are intended to further 
undermine the Russian and Belarusian industrial bases and their ability 
to continue to support Russia's military aggression in Ukraine. The 
complete list of 522 new HTS-6 Codes this rule adds to supplement no. 4 
are identified in amendatory instruction 18.
    Through the addition of these HTS codes, BIS intends to further 
limit Russia's access to items of potential military significance and 
expand the economic impact of controls that will deny Russia additional 
resources it needs to continue waging war.
    Items controlled through amendments made by this rule were 
identified based on a review of public and non-public information 
regarding which items

[[Page 51645]]

Russia seeks to further its war against Ukraine, an evaluation of areas 
in which U.S. trade has continued to provide an economic benefit to 
Russia, and an assessment of how the United States could further 
degrade Russia's war effort. With these new controls, BIS also further 
minimizes opportunities for the circumvention of U.S. export controls 
on Russia and Belarus through misclassification of the HTS-6 code. 
Supplement no. 4 to part 746 will now cover, with the addition of these 
522 HTS-6 codes, items subject to the EAR classified under all HTS 
codes in 18 additional chapters of HTS codes. Making these additions 
will minimize situations where persons could seek to circumvent export 
license requirements by changing the classification of an item that 
requires a license to the classification of an item in a similar HTS 
code that does not require a license. BIS estimates these changes to 
supplement no. 4 to part 746 will result in an additional five license 
applications submitted to BIS annually.
    2. Expansion of Russian and Belarusian industry sector sanctions by 
adding items to supplement no. 6 to part 746 consistent with the 
objective to undermine Russia's and Belarus's industrial bases and 
their ability to continue to support Russia's military aggression in 
Ukraine.
    In supplement no. 6 to part 746 (Russian and Belarusian Industry 
Sector Sanctions Pursuant to Sec.  746.5(a)(1)(iii)) (this final rule 
relocates the restrictions of Sec.  746.5(a)(1)(iii) to Sec.  
746.8(a)(6)), this final rule adds a new paragraph (h) to control 
certain riot control agents that are isomers of CS (o-
Chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile or o-Chlorobenzalmalononitrile) (CAS 
2698-41-1); CN (Phenylacyl chloride or w-Chloroacetophenone) (CAS 532-
27-4); or Oleoresin Capsicum (CAS 8023-77-6). Specifically, paragraphs 
(h)(1) through (10) describe these riot control agents that will be 
controlled under the EAR's Russian and Belarusian industry sector 
sanctions. These chemicals meet the definition of riot control agents 
under Article II (paragraph 7) of the Chemical Weapons Convention 
(CWC). These expanded controls will supplement the existing Commerce 
Control List (CCL) controls under ECCNs 1A984 and 1C607; in particular, 
they will address Russia's use of riot control agents as a method of 
warfare against Ukrainian forces in violation of the CWC. See May 1, 
2024 State Department Fact Sheet announcing the imposition of sanctions 
on Russia under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare 
Elimination Act of 1991, available at <a href="https://www.state.gov/imposing-new-measures-on-russia-for-its-full-scale-war-and-use-of-chemical-weapons-against-ukraine-2/">https://www.state.gov/imposing-new-measures-on-russia-for-its-full-scale-war-and-use-of-chemical-weapons-against-ukraine-2/</a>. BIS estimates these changes to supplement 
no. 6 to part 746 will result in one additional license application 
submitted to BIS annually.
    3. Imposing a license requirement for certain EAR99-designated 
``software'' when destined to or within Russia or Belarus.
    Prior to this final rule, apart from certain software described in 
paragraph (g)(9) in supplement no. 6 to part 746, the Russian and 
Belarusian industry sector sanctions (in prior Sec.  746.5(a)(1)(iii)) 
did not extend to software and the license requirements under Sec.  
746.8(a)(1) did not extend to EAR99-designated software. This final 
rule strengthens the Russian and Belarusian export control measures by 
adding a new paragraph (a)(8) (EAR99-designated software) to Sec.  
746.8. These changes to paragraph (a)(8) described under amendment 14 
will go into effect on September 16, 2024. New paragraph (a)(8)(i) 
specifies that a license is required to export, reexport, or transfer 
(in-country) to or within Russia or Belarus any EAR99-designated 
software described in paragraph (a)(8)(ii). New paragraph (a)(8)(ii) 
will apply to the following types of EAR99-designated ``software:'' 
Enterprise resource planning (ERP); customer relationship management 
(CRM); business intelligence (BI); supply chain management (SCM); 
enterprise data warehouse (EDW); computerized maintenance management 
system (CMMS); project management software, product lifecycle 
management (PLM); building information modelling (BIM); computer aided 
design (CAD); computer-aided manufacturing (CAM); and engineering to 
order (ETO). New paragraph (a)(8)(ii) includes a sentence to specify 
that the license requirement also includes software updates of software 
identified in paragraph (a)(8)(ii), which will enhance the 
effectiveness of this control because of the need for regular software 
updates to ensure proper software functionality. BIS also has added a 
new paragraph (a)(12)(iv) in Sec.  746.8 to exclude entities 
exclusively operating in the medical or agricultural sectors from this 
software license requirement. These changes to paragraph (a)(12)(iv) 
also described under amendment 14 will go into effect on September 16, 
2024. BIS estimates these changes to Sec.  746.8(a)(8), which take into 
account the new exclusion added under Sec.  746.8(a)(12)(iv), will 
result in an additional 5 license applications submitted to BIS 
annually.
    4. Narrowing the scope of eligible commodities and software under 
License Exception CCD for Russia and Belarus.
    In Sec.  740.19 (Consumer Communications Devices (CCD)), this final 
rule revises paragraph (b) (Eligible commodities and software) to limit 
the scope of eligible commodities and software that may be authorized 
for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) under this section to 
and within Russia and Belarus. This final rule does so by revising the 
paragraph (b) introductory text to specify that the commodities and 
software described in revised paragraphs (b)(1) through (8) are 
eligible for export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) to or within 
Russia and Belarus, as well as to or within Cuba, and by adding a 
sentence to the end of the paragraph (b) introductory text to specify 
that commodities and software described in paragraphs (b)(9) through 
(18) are eligible for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) under 
this section to or within Cuba only. This final rule also revises 
paragraphs (b)(1) through (17) accordingly, so that all the commodities 
and software that are eligible for Russia, Belarus, and Cuba are 
described under paragraphs (b)(1) through (8) and those that are 
eligible for Cuba only are in paragraphs (b)(9) through (18).
    The redesignation of these paragraphs will make it easier for 
exporters, reexporters, and transferors to identify the commodities and 
software that may be eligible for License Exception CCD for export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or within each of these three 
countries. This final rule does not otherwise revise the scope of 
eligible items in paragraphs (b)(1) through (17), with the exception of 
paragraph (b)(15) (batteries, chargers, carrying cases and accessories 
for the equipment described in paragraphs (b)(1) through (5) of this 
section that are designated EAR99). Specifically, this final rule 
separates the contents of this paragraph into two paragraphs by adding 
paragraph (b)(6) to describe batteries, chargers, carrying cases, and 
accessories for the equipment described in paragraphs (b)(1) through 
(5) of this section that are designated EAR99, and adding a separate 
paragraph (b)(18) to describe batteries, chargers, carrying cases, and 
accessories for the equipment described in paragraphs (b)(8) through 
(17) of this section that are designated EAR99. BIS estimates these 
changes to Sec.  740.19 will result in an additional 10 license 
applications submitted to BIS annually.
    To further assist exporters and other parties in understanding the 
changes to

[[Page 51646]]

Sec.  740.19(b)(1) through (17), BIS includes a cross walk in Table 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Consolidation of Russia and Belarus Sanctions Into a Single Section

    1. Consolidation. The embargoes, sanctions, and special controls 
implemented under the EAR are contained in part 746 of the EAR. For 
countries such as Cuba, North Korea, and Syria, there is a single 
section under part 746 that imposes embargo or country-specific 
sanctions. With respect to the export control measures against Russia 
and Belarus, BIS took a different approach, with certain controls added 
to new part 746 sections after the initial February 2014 Russian 
invasion of the Crimea region of Ukraine and various export control 
measures added to those existing part 746 sections, along with 
expansive measures imposed under new part 746 sections, as well as, in 
response to the February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine and 
continuing Russian aggression against Ukraine. Prior to this final 
rule, license requirements for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-
country) to or within Russia and Belarus added in or after February 
2022 were primarily found in three sections in part 746 of the EAR: 
Sec. Sec.  746.5 (for a variety of industrial goods), 746.8 (mostly for 
items on the Commerce Control List and items caught by the Russia and 
Belarusian-related foreign direct product rules), and 746.10 (for 
`luxury goods'). In this final rule, all of these license requirements 
are being consolidated into a revised and expanded Sec.  746.8. 
Specifically, license requirements from former Sec.  746.8 are now 
found in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of Sec.  746.8; license 
requirements from former Sec.  746.5 are now found in paragraphs (a)(4) 
through (6) of Sec.  746.8; and license requirements from former Sec.  
746.10 are now found in paragraph (a)(7) of Sec.  746.8.
    BIS has undertaken this consolidation in light of the increasingly 
wide-ranging and complex nature of the export control measures against 
Russia and Belarus. A single section under Sec.  746.8 that specifies 
the EAR's Russia and Belarus restrictions should enhance clarity and 
facilitate compliance. However, in the interest of maintaining certain 
aspects of the current regulatory structure governing these 
restrictions, the applicable supplements identifying items continue to 
be in force, namely, the Russian and Belarusian industry sector 
sanctions under supplement nos. 2, 4, and 6 to part 746, and the 
`Luxury Goods' sanctions under supplement no. 5 to part 746. Nor has 
BIS made any changes to supplement nos. 3 and 7 to part 746, 
supplements that relate to other Russia and Belarus restrictions.
    To implement this consolidation, this final rule removes and 
reserves Sec. Sec.  746.5 (Russian and Belarusian industry sector 
sanctions) and 746.10 (`Luxury goods' sanctions against Russia and 
Belarus and Russian and Belarusian oligarchs and malign actors). The 
contents and related restrictions in those two EAR sections will now be 
located in the consolidated Sec.  746.8, which with this final rule 
will become the primary part 746 section implementing export controls 
on Russia and Belarus.
    For now, as noted above, the EAR will continue to maintain three 
supplements for industrial goods (supplement nos. 2, 4, and 6 to part 
746) and one supplement for `luxury goods' (supplement no. 5 to part 
746). However, because controls on `luxury goods' destined for certain 
Russian and Belarusian oligarchs and malign actors worldwide were 
removed from Sec.  746.10 and added to Sec.  744.8 of the EAR on March 
21, 2024 (see 89 FR 20115, Mar. 21, 2024) as part of a broader action 
consolidating various end-user controls, the license requirements for 
`luxury goods' now are effectively the same destination-based controls 
that apply to license requirements for items covered under other HTS-6 
codes described in the three industrial goods lists set forth in 
supplement nos. 2, 4, and 6 to part 746, respectively. In future 
amendments to the EAR, BIS may consider consolidating these three 
lists, but has decided to keep them separate for now. To assist with 
compliance, BIS is also posting a list of all HTS codes set forth in 
supplement nos. 2, 4, and 5 to part 746 in downloadable XML format, 
available at <a href="https://www.bis.gov/russia-belarus_export_controls_resources#downloadable-compliance-resources">https://www.bis.gov/russia-belarus_export_controls_resources#downloadable-compliance-resources</a>.
    In addition to consolidating various Russia and Belarus export, 
reexport, and transfer (in-country) licensing requirements in Sec.  
746.8, this final rule adds the applicable exclusions that were 
formerly set forth in Sec. Sec.  746.5, 746.8 and 746.10 to paragraph 
(a)(12) of Sec.  746.8 of the EAR. These exclusions include ones that 
apply for certain deemed exports or reexports, certain transactions 
involving mass market encryption commodities

[[Page 51647]]

and software destined to U.S. companies, and transactions from the 
Global Export Control Coalition (GECC) members described in supplement 
no. 3 to part 746 of the EAR. Specifically, the exclusion for deemed 
exports and reexports has been added to paragraph (a)(12)(i), the 
exclusion for mass market encryption commodities and software has been 
added to paragraph (a)(12)(ii), and the exclusion for members of the 
GECC has been added to paragraph (a)(12)(iii). The introductory text of 
paragraph (a) of Sec.  746.8 will now reference paragraph (a)(12) 
containing these three sets of exclusions. This consolidation and 
reformatting of these requirements is intended to improve consistency 
and clarity, the objectives also met by the broader consolidation of 
the related licensing requirements.
    Prior to this final rule, Sec. Sec.  746.5, 746.8, and 746.10 of 
the EAR each contained instructional text that established an order of 
review among these three sections to clarify how to review each section 
in conjunction with the CCL and other sections of the EAR. Such review 
was necessary because a single HTS-6 code may cover both items that are 
classified under Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) on the 
CCL and items designated EAR99, and there may consequently be 
overlapping export controls that apply to an item in that HTS-6 code 
depending on how such item is classified. In this final rule, this 
order of review instructional text is being moved to the paragraph (a) 
introductory text in revised Sec.  746.8, which will consolidate the 
licensing requirements previously set forth in three separate part 746 
sections. This final rule also consolidates the three applicable 
licensing policies under the revised Sec.  746.8(b) and consolidates 
the license exception availability contents previously found in 
Sec. Sec.  746.5, 746.8, and 746.10 under the revised Sec.  746.8(c). 
BIS estimates these conforming changes described in section II.B.1 will 
not result in any additional license applications submitted to BIS 
annually.
    2. Conforming changes relating to the consolidation of the Russia 
and Belarus sanctions into a single part 746 section.
    This final rule makes conforming changes to various provisions of 
the EAR to reflect the fact that the substantive contents formerly set 
forth in Sec. Sec.  746.5 and 746.10 (e.g., licensing requirements and 
related license application review policies) are being consolidated 
with the requirements under Sec.  746.8. Because Sec. Sec.  746.5 and 
746.10 are referenced in other EAR provisions, this final rule revises 
those EAR provisions (as described in section II.B.2). BIS estimates 
these conforming changes described in section II.B.2 will not result in 
any additional license applications submitted to BIS annually.
    In supplement no. 2 to part 734--Guidelines for De Minimis Rules, 
this final rule revises the third sentence of paragraph (a)(1) to make 
a conforming change to remove the references to Sec. Sec.  746.8(a)(5) 
and 746.10(a)(3) and add in its place a reference to Sec.  
746.8(b)(3)(ii).
    In supplement no. 4 to part 744--Entity List, this final rule 
revises 85 existing entries, consisting of one entry under Cyprus, 83 
entries under Russia, and one entry under Switzerland that reference 
Sec.  746.5, and updates the reference to Sec.  746.8.
    In part 746, this final rule revises supplement nos. 2, 3, 4, and 6 
to part 746 that reference Sec. Sec.  746.5 or 746.10 and updates the 
reference to Sec.  746.8.
    In supplement no. 1 to part 774, this final rule amends eight 
ECCNs: 0A998, 1C992, 3A229, 3A231, 3A232, 6A991, 8A992, and 8D999 by 
removing the reference to Sec.  746.5 and adding in its place 
references to Sec.  746.8. In addition to the license requirements that 
are applicable under the Russian and Belarusian industry sector 
sanctions, all exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to or 
within Russia and Belarus also require a license under Sec.  
746.8(a)(1) because these items are classified under ECCNs. Lastly, 
this rule revises the Related Controls paragraph under ECCN 1C992 to 
make minor clarifications to the text for clarity.

C. Additions to the Entity List and Changes to the Entity List 
Structure

    1. Background. The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the 
EAR (15 CFR parts 730 through 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 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. 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.
    2. Additions to the Entity List and changes to the Entity List 
structure.
    i. Additions to the Entity List.
    The ERC determined to add Advantage Trading Co. Limited, Duling 
Technology (HK) Limited, and FY International Trading, all under the 
destination of China, to the Entity List. These companies have procured 
components, including U.S.-origin components, that are used to develop 
and produce Shahed-series UAV's, which have been used by Russia in 
Ukraine. This activity is contrary to U.S. national security and 
foreign policy interests under Sec. Sec.  744.11 and 744.21 of the EAR. 
These entities will receive a footnote 3 designation because the ERC 
has determined that they are Russian or Belarusian `military end users' 
in accordance with Sec.  744.21. A footnote 3 designation subjects 
these entities to the Russia/Belarus-Military End User Foreign Direct 
Product (FDP) rule, detailed under Sec.  734.9(g). These entities are 
added with a license requirement for all items subject to the EAR. 
License applications will be reviewed under a policy of denial for all 
items subject to the EAR, other than applications for food and medicine 
designated as EAR99, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
    The ERC determined to add Shenzhen Daotong Intelligent Aviation 
Technology Co., Ltd., under the destination of China, to the Entity 
List. This entity is involved in the shipment of controlled items to 
Russia since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 as well as 
acquiring and attempting to acquire U.S.-origin items, applicable to 
unmanned aerial vehicles, to be used by Chinese military entities. 
These activities are contrary to the national security and foreign 
policy interests of the United States under Sec.  744.11 of the EAR. 
Licenses will be required for all items subject to the EAR. License 
applications will be reviewed with a license review policy of 
presumption of denial.
    The ERC determined to add eight addresses under the destination of 
China to the Entity List. These addresses

[[Page 51648]]

are associated with significant transshipment of sensitive goods to 
Russia. BIS has verified that these addresses are associated with a 
significant number of entities, whose activities risk violating the 
EAR. These risks include associations with parties on the Entity List 
or the Unverified List at the listed addresses. These activities are 
contrary to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests under 
Sec.  744.11 of the EAR. Licenses will be required for all entities at 
these addresses for all items on the Commerce Control List and 
supplement no. 7 of section 746 of the EAR and subject to the EAR. 
License applications will be reviewed with a license review policy of 
presumption of denial.
    The ERC determined to add LLC Volgogradpromproyekt, under the 
destination of Russia, to the Entity List. This addition is being made 
because the ERC has determined that LLC Volgogradpromproyekt has been 
involved with, contributes to, and supports the Russian military and 
defense sectors and companies that have been added to the BIS Entity 
List and the Treasury Department's List of Specially Designated 
Nationals and Blocked Persons. Specifically, LLC Volgogradpromproyekt 
have sold a variety of chemicals for use in the activities of these 
Russian military and defense sectors and companies. This activity is 
contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the 
United States under Sec.  744.11 and this entity qualifies as a 
military end user under Sec.  744.21(g) of the EAR. This entity is 
receiving a Footnote 3 designation because the ERC has determined that 
it is a Russian or Belarusian `military end user' pursuant to Sec.  
744.21. A Footnote 3 designation subjects this entity to the Russia/
Belarus-Military End User Foreign Direct Product (FDP) rule, detailed 
in Sec.  734.9(g). The entity is added with a license requirement for 
all items subject to the EAR and a license review policy of denial for 
all items subject to the EAR apart from food and medicine designated as 
EAR99, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
    BIS estimates these additions to the Entity List will not result in 
any additional license applications submitted to BIS annually.
    For the reasons described above, this final rule adds the following 
five entities and eight addresses under thirteen entries to the Entity 
List and includes, where appropriate, aliases:
China
    <bullet> Address 01;
    <bullet> Address 02;
    <bullet> Address 03;
    <bullet> Address 04;
    <bullet> Address 05;
    <bullet> Address 06;
    <bullet> Address 07;
    <bullet> Address 08;
    <bullet> Advantage Trading Company Limited;
    <bullet> Duling Technology (HK) Limited;
    <bullet> FY International Trading Company; and
    <bullet> Shenzhen Daotong Intelligent Aviation Technology Co., Ltd.
Russia
    <bullet> LLC Volgogradpromproyekt.
    ii. Entity List Structural Changes.
    International transshipment through shell companies presents an 
export control compliance problem that cannot always be addressed 
effectively through conventional Entity List additions. Shell companies 
can easily be dissolved and reformed to evade sanctions and export 
controls because they lack non-cash assets, employees, fixed addresses, 
business reputations, or other features that would incentivize the 
pursuit of longevity. Shell companies rely on service providers to 
enable them, with addresses that can be listed on corporate paperwork, 
mailboxes where they can receive shipments, temporary office space, or 
accounting and other services necessary to engage in trade activity.
    When BIS lists shell companies on the Entity List, it is often at 
the address of these service providers, though BIS has traditionally 
avoided listing the service providers by name because that name will 
not appear on export control paperwork and may remain unknown to the 
seller of items subject to the EAR. Nonetheless, some of these 
addresses present a high diversion risk for controlled items and appear 
multiple times on the Entity List or Unverified List under different 
company names.
    While BIS has said that involvement of a company co-located with a 
listed entity presents a red flag in export transactions, there are 
some situations where a more definite license requirement is warranted 
for addresses that are repeatedly used by companies engaged in activity 
contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests. This 
rule is intended to address those situations by enabling BIS to publish 
high diversion risk addresses on the Entity List, thus triggering a 
license requirement for all entities who use that address. The goal of 
this rule is to more effectively combat unlawful diversion and to 
incentivize a stronger awareness of export compliance among the 
corporate service provider industries that facilitate trade through 
shell companies.
    To facilitate adding the addresses detailed above, BIS is revising 
Sec.  744.16, which describes, among other things, the license 
requirements, license exceptions, and license review policy for 
entities added to the Entity List. This rule adds paragraph (f) to 
Sec.  744.16. Under paragraph (f) (Addresses with High Diversion Risk), 
BIS may identify by address an entity (or multiple entities) on the 
Entity List that presents a high risk of diversion without an 
associated entity name. As with other entries on the Entity List, these 
entries will detail the license requirements, license review policies, 
and restrictions on the use of license exceptions; however, the entry 
will apply to all entities using that address, other than entities with 
their own separate entry at that same address, in which case the more 
specific entry will apply. Prior to this rule, the license requirement 
applied to the entity listed by name on the Entity List. BIS will 
include as much identifying information as possible for any such 
address listed on the Entity List under this policy. As a conforming 
change, BIS is adding reference to addresses of persons or changing 
references from entities to entries in the introductory text in 
supplements 4 and 5 to part 744.
    For ease of compliance and administrative purposes, the entries 
that consist of an address only will be titled ``Address #,'' where # 
represents a number in a sequence of address entries. This pattern will 
apply to each destination for which there is an address-only entry.
    Beyond entries that consist of an address only, given the risk of 
diversion from multiple listed entities using the same address, when a 
party to a transaction uses the same address as (e.g., is co-located 
with) a listed entity, the address is a red flag and the exporter, 
reexporter, and transferor must undertake sufficient due diligence to 
verify that the entity co-located with the listed entity is not, in 
fact, the listed entity and is not acting on behalf of the listed 
entity. This is similar to red flag guidance BIS has issued on listed 
entities.
    The final rule also makes additional changes to Sec. Sec.  744.11 
and 744.16 where needed to reflect the addition of paragraph (f) under 
Sec.  744.11. These changes broaden the sentences that use the phrase 
``entities listed on the Entity List'' to reflect that these provisions 
also apply to addresses that present a high diversion risk listed on 
the Entity List.
    BIS estimates these changes described in section II.C will not 
result in any additional license application submitted to BIS annually.

[[Page 51649]]

D. Confirmation of the Standard Used in Connection With Actions 
Involving the Availability of License Exceptions and Clarification of 
the Scope of a Commodity Subject to the Russian and Belarusian Industry 
Sanctions

    This final rule makes revisions to two existing provisions of the 
EAR. First, this final rule specifies the standard used by BIS when 
revising, suspending, or revoking the use of EAR license exceptions, 
which applies to all license exceptions, destinations, and users of 
such license exceptions. By making this standard explicit, BIS provides 
transparency to exporters, reexporters, and transferors that may seek 
to utilize license exceptions in various destinations. In the section 
below, BIS provides some examples in the Russia context and in contexts 
involving other destinations in which BIS either has (or may) exercise 
this authority to revise, suspend, or revoke the use of license 
exceptions to protect U.S. national security or foreign policy 
interests. Second, this final rule makes a clarification regarding the 
control status of fasteners as it relates to the Russian and Belarusian 
industry sector sanctions. BIS estimates these changes described in 
section II.D will not result in any additional license application 
submitted to BIS annually.
    1. Specifying the standard that governs when revising, suspending, 
or revoking EAR license exceptions.
    BIS is responsible for protecting U.S. national security and 
foreign policy interests under the EAR. EAR license exceptions (part 
740) are authorizations to engage in activity that otherwise requires a 
license and play an important role in the EAR control structure. In 
Sec.  740.2 (Restrictions on all License Exceptions), this final rule 
revises paragraph (b) to specify the standard under which BIS may 
revise, suspend, or revoke a license exception, in whole or in part, 
without notice. Specifically, this final rule adds text to confirm (and 
render explicit) the fact that BIS may make such revisions, 
suspensions, or revocations to protect U.S. national security or 
foreign policy interests, consistent with the policy considerations in 
Section 1752 of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (50 U.S.C. 4811). 
In order to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy 
interests, BIS has broad authority to make revisions, suspensions, or 
revocations that apply to specific entities (including natural persons) 
or take action that affects all transactions involving a particular 
destination. For example, BIS may revoke a license exception for a 
particular foreign airline that changes its ownership structure to 
circumvent the national security and foreign policy objectives 
underlying the restrictions on the use of License Exception AVS for 
temporary sojourns to Russia in Sec.  746.8 of the EAR. As another 
example, BIS may revoke license exception availability for a company 
under investigation for fraudulent use of license exceptions on export 
control documents to avoid scrutiny of its shipments. BIS may also 
revoke multiple license exceptions for transactions involving 
particular countries, as it did in June 2020 for Hong Kong after new 
security measures were imposed that undermined Hong Kong's autonomy (85 
FR 45998, July 31, 2020), or as it did for Burma in March 2021 in 
response to that country's military coup (86 FR 13173, March 8, 2021).
    2. Clarification that the exclusion for fasteners for the 
``parts,'' ``components,'' ``accessories,'' and ``attachments'' does 
not apply to fasteners that are specified under one of the HTS-6 codes 
specified in the respective supplements.
    In supplement nos. 2, 4, 5, and 7, this final rule adds a sentence 
to clarify the scope of the exclusion for fasteners (e.g., screw, bolt, 
nut, nut plate, stud, insert, clip, rivet, pin) in the three 
supplements. Fasteners are identified in an exclusion from the scope of 
this control, but a clarification is needed because certain fasteners 
will now be described under HTS-6 Codes under supplement no. 4 with the 
additions made in this final rule and some of the HTS-Codes in 
supplement nos. 2, 4, 5, and 7 also identify certain fasteners, and are 
therefore included within the scope of the controls. This final rule 
clarifies the scope of the exclusion by adding a new third sentence to 
each of these three supplements to specify that the exclusion of 
fasteners from this control does not apply to fasteners that are 
designated under an HTS Code that is specified in that supplement. This 
final rule also adds the word `generally' before the term fasteners in 
each of the three supplements to clarify that the exclusion for 
fasteners has limits. This final rule also adds the word `and' before 
the term `washers' to clarify that in all cases a washer, spacer, 
insulator, grommet, bushing, spring, wire, or solder is excluded from 
the scope of these three supplements regardless of the HTS Code or HTS 
description.
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 June 12, 2024, 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), provided the export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country) is completed no later than on July 
12, 2024.

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) (codified, as 
amended, at 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. BIS has examined the impact of this rule as required by 
Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 14094, which direct agencies to 
assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, 
if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that 
maximize net benefits (e.g., potential economic, environmental, public, 
health, and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Pursuant 
to E.O. 12866, as amended, this final rule has not been determined to 
be a ``significant regulatory action.''
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is 
required to respond to, nor shall any person 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 rule 
involves the following OMB-approved collections of information subject 
to the PRA:
    <bullet> 0694-0088, ``Simple Network Application Process and 
Multipurpose Application Form,'' which carries a burden hour estimate 
of 29.4 minutes for a manual or electronic submission;
    <bullet> 0694-0096 ``Five Year Records Retention Period,'' which 
carries a burden hour estimate of less than 1 minute; and
    <bullet> 0607-0152 ``Automated Export System (AES) Program,'' which 
carries a burden hour estimate of 3 minutes per electronic submission.

[[Page 51650]]

    BIS estimates that these new controls on Russia and Belarus under 
the EAR will result in an increase of twenty-one license applications 
submitted annually to BIS. However, the additional burden falls within 
the existing estimates currently associated with these control numbers. 
Additional information regarding these collections of information--
including all background materials--can be found at <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a> by using the search function to enter 
either the title of the collection or the OMB Control Number.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications 
as that term is defined in E.O. 13132.
    4. Pursuant to section 1762 of ECRA (50 U.S.C. 4821), this action 
is exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553) 
requirements for notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public 
participation, and delay in effective date. While section 1762 of ECRA 
provides sufficient authority for such an exemption, this action is 
also independently exempt from these APA requirements because it 
involves a military or foreign affairs function of the United States (5 
U.S.C. 553(a)(1)).
    5. Because neither the Administrative Procedure Act nor any other 
law requires that notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for 
public comment be given for this rule, the analytical requirements of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not 
applicable. Accordingly, no Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is 
required and none has been prepared.

7. Amend Sec.  744.11 by revising the section introductory text, 
paragraphs (a) introductory text, (b) introductory text, (b)(4)(i), and 
(c), to read as follows:


Sec.  744.11  License requirements that apply to entities acting or at 
significant risk of acting contrary to the national security or foreign 
policy interests of the United States, and to addresses that present a 
high diversion risk.

    BIS may impose foreign policy export, re-export, and transfer (in-
country) license requirements, limitations on availability of license 
exceptions, and set license application review policy based on the 
criteria in this section. Such requirements, limitations and policy are 
in addition to those set forth elsewhere in the EAR. License 
requirements, limitations on use of license exceptions, and license 
application review policies will be imposed under this section by 
adding an entity or an address that presents a high diversion risk (see 
Sec.  744.16(f) of this part) to the Entity List (supplement no. 4 to 
this part) with a reference to this section and by stating on the 
Entity List the license requirements and license application review 
policies that apply to that entity or address, or by informing an 
exporter, re-exporter, or transferor pursuant to paragraph (c) of this 
section that a specific entity or address is subject to a license 
requirement, limitations on use of license exceptions and license 
application review policies as specified in a specific notice provided 
to an exporter, re-exporter, or transferor. BIS may remove an entity 
from the Entity List if it is no longer engaged in the activities 
described in paragraph (b) of this section and is unlikely to engage in 
such activities in the future, or if it is no longer at significant 
risk of acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy 
interests of the United States as described therein. BIS may remove an 
address that presents a high diversion risk from the Entity List if the 
address is determined to no longer be a high diversion risk, for 
example if measures are undertaken to educate companies operating at 
those addresses on export compliance, or to effectively screen clients 
for diversion risk. BIS may modify the license exception limitations 
and license application review policies that apply to a particular 
entity or address that presents a high diversion risk to implement the 
policies of this section. BIS will implement the provisions of this 
section in accordance with the decisions of the End-User Review 
Committee or, if appropriate in a particular case, in accordance with 
the decisions of the body to which the End-User Review Committee 
decision is escalated. The End-User Review Committee will follow the 
procedures set forth in supplement no. 5 to this part.
    (a) License requirement, availability of license exceptions, and 
license application review policy. A license is required, to the extent 
specified on the Entity List, to export, reexport, or transfer (in-
country) any item subject to the EAR when an entity that is listed on 
the Entity List, or any entity using an address identified on the 
Entity List as presenting a high risk of diversion to activities of 
concern, is a party to the transaction as described in Sec.  748.5(c) 
through (f) of the EAR unless otherwise authorized or excluded in this 
section. License exceptions may not be used unless authorized in the 
Entity List entry for the entity that is party to the transaction or 
for an address that presents a high diversion risk that is used by a 
party to the transaction. Applications for licenses required by this 
section will be evaluated as stated in the relevant Entity List entry, 
in addition to any other applicable review policy stated elsewhere in 
the EAR.
* * * * *
    (b) Criteria for revising the Entity List. Entities for which there 
is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable 
facts, that the entity or party to the transaction that is operating at 
an address that presents a high diversion risk has been involved, is 
involved, or poses a significant risk of being or becoming involved in 
activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy 
interests of the United States and those acting on behalf of such 
entities or conducting operations at an address that presents a high 
diversion risk may be added to the Entity List pursuant to this 
section. An entity or address that presents a high diversion risk may 
pose a significant risk through certain circumstances that may be 
outside of its own control or in the case of addresses with high 
diversion risk, outside the control of certain parties to the 
transaction operating at such address that presents a high diversion 
risk. Such circumstances that may place an entity or address that 
presents a high diversion risk include situations involving a sustained 
lack of cooperation by a host government authority, for example, by 
preventing an end-use check from being conducted, that effectively 
prevents BIS from determining compliance with the EAR. This section may 
not be used to place any U.S. person, as defined in Sec.  772.1 of the 
EAR, on the Entity List. Paragraphs (b)(1) through (5) of this section 
provide an illustrative list of activities that could be or represent a 
significant risk of being contrary to the national security or foreign 
policy interests of the United States, including the foreign policy 
interest of the protection of human rights throughout the world.
* * * * *
    (4) * * *
    (i) The entity or persons that own or control an address that 
presents a high diversion risk precluding access to; refusing to 
provide information about; or providing false or misleading information 
about parties to the transaction or the item to be checked.

[[Page 51652]]

The conduct in this example includes: expressly refusing to permit a 
check; providing false or misleading information; or engaging in 
dilatory or evasive conduct that effectively prevents the check from 
occurring or makes the check inaccurate or useless. A nexus between the 
conduct of the party or address that presents a high diversion risk to 
be listed and the failure to produce a complete, accurate and useful 
check is required, even though an express refusal by the party to be 
listed is not required; or
* * * * *
    (c) Additional prohibition on persons informed by BIS. BIS may 
inform persons, either individually by specific notice or through 
amendment to the EAR, that a license is required for:
    (1) A specific export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) because 
there is an unacceptable risk that the export, reexport, or transfer 
(in-country) is intended to circumvent the license requirement imposed 
on an entity or address that presents a high diversion risk listed in 
supplement no. 4 to this part; or
    (2) The export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of specified 
items to a certain party because there is an unacceptable risk that the 
party is acting as an agent, front, or shell company for an entity 
listed in supplement no. 4 to this part, or is otherwise assisting that 
listed entity in circumventing the license requirement set forth in 
that entity's entry in supplement no. 4 to this part; or
    (3) The export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of specified 
items to a certain party or address that presents a high diversion risk 
because there is reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and 
articulable facts, that the entity has been involved, is involved, or 
poses a significant risk of being or becoming involved in activities 
that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests 
of the United States, including the foreign policy interest of the 
protection of human rights throughout the world, and those acting on 
behalf of such entity or that an address that presents a high diversion 
risk of being used to divert items subject to the EAR to end-uses or 
end-users inconsistent with U.S. foreign policy or national security 
interests. Specific notice will be given only by, or at the direction 
of, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Strategic Trade and 
Technology Security or the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Strategic 
Trade. When such notice is provided orally, it will be followed by 
written notice within two working days signed by the Principal Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Strategic Trade and Technology Security or the 
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary's or Deputy Assistant Secretary's 
designee. The specific notice will include the license requirement, 
limitations on use of license exceptions, and license application 
review policy with which that exporter, re-exporter, or transferor must 
comply pursuant to this paragraph (c)(3). The ERC may add such entities 
or addresses that present a high diversion risk to the Entity List in 
supplement no. 4 to this part.

7. Section 744.16 is amended by:
0
a. Revising the introductory text;
0
b. Revising paragraphs (a), (b), (c)(1), (e) introductory text; and
0
c. Adding paragraph (f).
    The addition and revisions read as follows:


Sec.  744.16  Entity List.

    The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to this part) identifies persons 
or addresses of persons reasonably believed to be involved, or to pose 
a significant risk of being or becoming involved, in activities 
contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the 
United States. The entries are added to the Entity List pursuant to 
sections of part 744 (Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) and 
part 746 (Embargoes and Other Special Controls) of the EAR.
* * * * *
    (a) License requirements. In addition to the license requirements 
for items specified on the CCL, you may not, without a license from 
BIS, export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) any items included in 
the License Requirement column of an entry on the Entity List 
(supplement no. 4 to this part) when an entity associated with that 
entry or when any entity using an address of high diversion risk 
associated with that entry is a party to a transaction as described in 
Sec.  748.5(c) through (f) of the EAR. The specific license requirement 
for each listed entity or address with high diversion risk is 
identified in the license requirement column on the Entity List in 
supplement no. 4 to this part. A license is not required for the 
release of certain ``technology'' or ``software'' when such a release 
is for a ``standards-related activity,'' as described in Sec. Sec.  
744.11(a)(1) and 772.1 of the EAR.
    (b) License exceptions. No license exceptions are available for 
exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) to listed entities or 
addresses that present a high diversion risk of specified items, except 
license exceptions for items listed in Sec.  740.2(a)(5) of the EAR 
destined to listed Indian or Pakistani entities to ensure the safety of 
civil aviation and safe operation of commercial passenger aircraft, and 
in the case of entities added to the Entity List pursuant to Sec.  
744.20, to the extent specified on the Entity List.
    (c) * * *
    (1) General review policy. The license review policy for each 
listed entity or address that presents a high diversion risk is 
identified in the License Review Policy column on the Entity List.
* * * * *
    (e) Removal or modification requests. Any entity listed on the 
Entity List or the owner or operator of any address that presents a 
high diversion risk listed on the Entity List may request that its 
listing be removed or modified. All such requests, including reasons 
therefor, must be in writing and sent to: Chair, End-User Review 
Committee, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room 3886, 
Washington, DC 20230.
* * * * *
    (f) Addresses that present a high diversion risk. In limited 
circumstances, such as when multiple entities on the Entity List use 
the same address, or the name of an entity at a particular address is 
unknown to BIS, BIS may determine that such an address presents a high 
risk of diversion and publish the address on the Entity List without an 
associated entity name. These entries will apply license requirements, 
license review policies, and restrictions on the use of license 
exceptions for all entities using that address. When submitting a 
license application, the applicant should name the specific entity on 
the application. In the license application field for additional 
information, the applicant should state that the address is on the 
Entity List.

Supplement No. 4 to Part 744--Entity List

    This supplement lists certain entities or addresses subject to 
license requirements for specified items under parts 744 and 746 of 
the EAR. License requirements for these entities include exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) unless otherwise stated. A 
license is required, to the extent specified on the Entity List, to 
export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) any item subject to the 
EAR when an entity or a party to the transaction is operating at an 
address that is listed on the Entity List under an address entry is 
a party to the transaction as described in Sec.  748.5(c) through 
(f) of the EAR. See Sec.  744.11 for licensing requirements in the 
context of a ``standards-related activity.'' This list is revised 
and updated on a periodic basis in this supplement by adding new or 
amended notifications and deleting notifications no longer in 
effect.

    When determining to add an entry or modify an existing entry, to 
the Entity List or MEU List, the ERC will also specify the section 
or sections of the EAR that provide the basis for that 
determination. All additions and modifications to the MEU List are 
done pursuant to Sec.  744.21(b). The license requirements, the

addition, for the Entity List, if the section or sections that form 
the basis for an addition or modification do not specify the license 
requirements, the license application review policy, or the 
availability of license exceptions, the ERC will specify the license 
requirements, the license application review policy and which 
license exceptions (if any) will be available for shipments to that

12. Remove and reserve Sec.  746.5.

13. Section 746.8 is revised to read as follows:


Sec.  746.8  Sanctions against Russia and Belarus.

    (a) License requirements. Except as described in the exclusions in 
paragraph (a)(12), and in addition to license requirements specified on 
the Commerce Control List (CCL) in supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the 
EAR and in other provisions of the EAR, including part 744 and other 
sections of part 746, a license is required as specified under 
paragraphs (a)(1) through (7). These license requirements follow an 
order of review, which provides guidance on the relationship between 
the different license requirements and which ones take precedence for 
certain items. For purposes of paragraphs (a)(5) through (7) of this 
section, a license is not required for any item that is listed in 
supplement nos. 4, 5 or 6 to this part that is also classified under an 
Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) on the Commerce Control 
List (CCL) in supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the EAR. See paragraph 
(a)(1) of this section and part 742 for license requirements for 
exports, reexports, and transfers to or within Russia or Belarus for 
items classified in ECCNs, as well as part 744 for end-use and end-user 
controls that may apply to your transaction. Paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) 
of this section, are also used for determining license requirements for 
exports, reexports, and transfers to or within Russia or Belarus of any 
item that is listed in supplement nos. 4, 5, or 6 to this part and is 
classified in an ECCN on the CCL in supplement no. 1 to part 774 of the 
EAR. License requirements in paragraph (a)(4) that apply to exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) involved in certain end-uses 
should be reviewed only after license requirements in paragraphs (a)(1) 
through (a)(3) and (a)(5) through (a)(7) are reviewed.
    (1) Items classified in any ECCN on the CCL. A license is required 
to export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or within Russia or 
Belarus any item subject to the EAR and specified in any Export Control 
Classification Number (ECCN) on the CCL.
    (2) Russia/Belarus/Temporarily occupied Crimea region of Ukraine 
foreign ``direct product'' (FDP) rule. A license is required to 
reexport, export from abroad, or transfer (in-country) to any 
destination any foreign-produced item subject to the EAR under the 
Russia/Belarus/Temporarily occupied Crimea region of Ukraine under the 
FDP rule described in Sec.  734.9(f) of the EAR.
    (3) Russia/Belarus-Military End User FDP rule. A license is 
required to reexport, export from abroad, or transfer (in-country) to 
or within any destination any foreign-produced item subject to the EAR 
under Sec.  734.9(g) of the EAR.

    Note 1 to paragraph (a)(3).  A `military end user' for purposes 
of this paragraph is any entity listed on the Entity List in 
supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the EAR with a Footnote 3 
designation.

    (4) Oil and Gas. (i) Certain exploration or production of oil or 
gas. A license is required to export, reexport, or transfer (in-
country) any item subject to the EAR listed in supplement no. 2 to this 
part and items specified in ECCNs 0A998, 1C992, 3A229, 3A231, 3A232, 
6A991, 8A992, and 8D999 when you ``know'' that the item will be used 
directly or indirectly in exploration for, or production of, oil or gas 
in Russian deepwater (greater than 500 feet) or Arctic offshore 
locations or shale formations in Russia or Belarus, or are unable to 
determine whether the item will be used in such projects. Such items 
include, but are not limited to, drilling rigs, parts for horizontal 
drilling, drilling and completion equipment, subsea processing 
equipment, Arctic-capable marine equipment, wireline and down hole 
motors and equipment, drill pipe and casing, software for hydraulic 
fracturing, high pressure pumps, seismic acquisition equipment, 
remotely operated vehicles, compressors, expanders, valves, and risers.
    (ii) Additional prohibition on those informed by BIS. BIS may 
inform persons, either individually by specific notice or through 
amendment to the EAR, that a license is required for a specific export, 
reexport, or transfer (in-country) or for the export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) of specified items to a certain end-user or end-
use, because there is an unacceptable risk of use in, or diversion to, 
the activities specified in this section in Russia or Belarus. Specific 
notice is to be given only by, or at the direction of, the Principal 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Strategic Trade and Technology Security 
or the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Strategic Trade. When such notice 
is provided orally, it will be followed by a written notice within two 
working days signed by either the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Strategic Trade and Technology Security or the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Strategic Trade. However, the absence of any such 
notification does not excuse persons from compliance with the license 
requirements of this section.
    (5) Industrial Goods. A license is required to export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) any item subject to the EAR listed in supplement 
no. 4 to this part to or within Russia or Belarus.
    (6) Itemized Items. A license is required to export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) any item subject to the EAR listed in supplement 
no. 6 to this part to or within Russia or Belarus.
    (7) `Luxury goods.' A license is required to export, reexport, or 
transfer (in-country) any item subject to the EAR listed in supplement 
no. 5 to this part to or within Russia or Belarus.

    Note 2 to paragraph (a)(7):  For purposes of paragraph (a)(7) of 
this section, a `luxury

[[Page 51663]]

good' means any item that is identified in supplement no. 5 to this 
part.

    (8) through (11) [RESERVED]
    (12) Exclusions from license requirements and scope of U.S.-origin 
controlled content. Paragraphs (a)(12)(i), (ii), and (iii)(A) of this 
section exclude certain exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) 
from the scope of the license requirements of this section. Paragraph 
(a)(12)(iii)(B) excludes certain items from the scope of U.S.-origin 
content for purposes of de minimis calculations from certain 
destinations.
    (i) Deemed exports and deemed reexports. The license requirements 
in paragraph (a) do not apply to deemed exports or reexports. However, 
the exclusion for deemed exports and deemed reexports is limited to the 
license requirements specified only in this section of the EAR. Any 
deemed export or deemed reexport to a Russian or Belarusian national 
must be made in accordance with all other applicable EAR license 
requirements, such as CCL-based license requirements. For example, the 
release of NS1 controlled technology to a Russian or Belarusian 
national in the United States or in a third country would require a 
CCL-based deemed export or deemed reexport license (as applicable). 
Consequently, authorization (in the form of a deemed export or deemed 
reexport license, or license exception eligibility) would be required 
under the EAR notwithstanding the exclusion in this paragraph (b).
    (ii) Mass market encryption commodities and software. Commodities 
specified under ECCN 5A991, and commodities and software classified 
under ECCNs 5A992.c or 5D992.c that have been `classified in accordance 
with Sec.  740.17,' do not require a license to or within Russia or 
Belarus for the following civil end-users:
    (A) Wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries, branches, or sales offices;
    (B) Joint ventures between two or more U.S. companies, including 
the wholly owned subsidiaries, branches, or sales offices of such joint 
ventures;
    (C) Joint ventures between U.S. companies and companies 
headquartered in countries from Country Group A:5 and A:6 in supplement 
no. 1 to part 740 of the EAR, including the wholly owned subsidiaries, 
branches, or sales offices of such joint ventures;
    (D) Wholly owned subsidiaries, branches, or sales offices of 
companies headquartered in countries from Country Group A:5 and A:6 in 
supplement no. 1 to part 740; or
    (E) Joint ventures between two or more companies headquartered in 
Country Group A:5 and A:6 in supplement no. 1 to part 740, including 
the wholly owned subsidiaries, branches, or sales offices of such joint 
ventures.
    (iii) Global Export Control Coalition (GECC). The countries listed 
in supplement no. 3 to this part have committed to implementing 
substantially similar export controls on Russia, Belarus, and the 
temporarily occupied Crimea region of Ukraine under their domestic 
laws. Therefore, exports or reexports from the countries listed in 
supplement no. 3 to this part or transfers (in-country) within the 
countries listed in this supplement are not subject to the following 
license requirements in paragraph (a) of this section unless a limit to 
the exclusion is described in the Scope column in supplement no. 3 to 
this part:
    (A) Foreign direct product rules. The license requirement described 
in paragraphs (a)(2) and (3) of this section;
    (B) De minimis. For purposes of determining U.S.-origin controlled 
content under supplement no. 2 to part 734 of the EAR, when making a de 
minimis calculation for reexports and exports from abroad to Russia or 
Belarus, the license requirements in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(4) 
through (7) of this section are not used to determine controlled U.S.-
origin content in a foreign-made item, provided the criteria of 
paragraphs (a)(12)(B)(1) and (2) of this section are met:
    (1) The U.S.-origin content is described in an Anti-Terrorism (AT)-
only ECCN or is designated EAR99. For purposes of this paragraph, AT-
only items mean any ECCN that only specifies either only AT in the 
reason for control paragraph of the ECCN or is classified under ECCN 
9A991; and
    (2) The foreign made item will be reexported or exported from 
abroad from a destination described in supplement no. 3 to this part.
    (b) Licensing policy. (1) License applications required under 
paragraph (a)(3) of this section will be reviewed under a policy of 
denial in all cases.
    (2) Applications for the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) 
of any item pursuant to paragraph (a)(4) of this section that require a 
license for Russia or Belarus will be reviewed under a policy of denial 
when for use directly or indirectly for exploration or production from 
deepwater (greater than 500 feet), Arctic offshore, or shale projects 
in Russia or Belarus that have the potential to produce oil or gas.
    (3) Applications for the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) 
of any item pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1), (2), and (5) through (7) of 
this section will be reviewed under a policy of denial. However, the 
following types of license applications submitted pursuant to 
paragraphs (a)(1), (2), and (5) through (7) of this section will be 
reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the transaction 
in question would benefit the Russian or Belarusian government or 
defense sector:
    (i) Applications for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of 
items that may be necessary for health and safety reasons, including 
the safety of flight, maritime safety, and civil nuclear safety;
    (ii) Applications for the disposition of items by companies not 
headquartered in Country Group D:1, D:5, E:1, or E:2 in supplement no. 
1 to part 740 that are winding down or closing all operations in Russia 
or Belarus;
    (iii) Applications for items that meet humanitarian needs, 
including applications for items that are predominantly agricultural or 
medical in nature;
    (iv) Applications for government-to-government activities or to 
support government space cooperation;
    (v) Replacement licenses for exports and reexports to and transfers 
within Russia and Belarus of items described in HTS-6 Codes or items 
described in supplement no. 6 to part 746 that were added to the EAR 
and made subject to license requirements after the validation date of 
the BIS license.
    (vi) Applications for items destined to:
    (A) Wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries, branches, or sales offices;
    (B) Foreign subsidiaries, branches, or sales offices of U.S. 
companies that are joint ventures with other U.S. companies;
    (C) Joint ventures of U.S. companies with companies headquartered 
in countries from Country Group A:5 and A:6 in supplement no. 1 to part 
740 of the EAR;
    (D) The wholly owned subsidiaries, branches, or sales offices of 
companies headquartered in countries from Country Group A:5 and A:6 in 
supplement no. 1 to part 740; or
    (E) Joint ventures of companies headquartered in Country Groups A:5 
and A:6 with other companies headquartered in Country Groups A:5 and 
A:6; and
    (vii) Applications for companies headquartered in Country Groups 
A:5 and A:6 to support civil telecommunications infrastructure.

    Note 3 to paragraph (b):  See also Sec.  750.7(c)(1)(xi) of the 
EAR for the divesture of items within Russia or Belarus or the 
transfer of items within Russia or Belarus for

[[Page 51664]]

the purpose of reexporting such items from Russia or Belarus. For 
purposes of Sec.  750.7(c)(1)(xi), divesture means the action or 
process of selling off subsidiary business interests or investments 
involving items subject to the EAR.

    (c) License exceptions. Consistent with Sec.  740.2(b), BIS may 
revise, suspend, or revoke License Exception availability under this 
section consistent with U.S. national security and foreign policy 
interests, including on a case-by-case basis, to prevent Russian or 
Belarusian persons from circumventing the restrictions in this section.
    (1) No license exceptions may overcome the license requirements in 
paragraph (a)(3) of this section, except as specified in the entry for 
a Footnote 3 entity on the Entity List in supplement no. 4 to part 744 
of the EAR.

16. Supplement no. 2 to part 746 is amended by revising the heading, 
paragraph (a) and first sentence of paragraph (b) to read as follows:

Supplement No. 2 to Part 746--Russian and Belarusian Industry Sector 
Sanction List Pursuant to Sec.  746.8(a)(4)

    (a) The source for the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)-6 codes 
and descriptions in this list comes from the United States 
International Trade Commission (USITC's) Harmonized Tariff Schedule 
of the United States (2023). The items described in supplement no. 2 
to part 746 include any modified or designed ``components,'' 
``parts,'' ``accessories,'' and ``attachments'' therefor regardless 
of the HTS Code or HTS Description of the ``components,'' ``parts,'' 
``accessories,'' and ``attachments,'' apart from any ``part'' or 
minor ``component'' that is a fastener (e.g., screw, bolt, nut, nut 
plate, stud, insert, clip, rivet, pin), washer, spacer, insulator, 
grommet, bushing, spring, wire, or solder. The exclusion of 
fasteners from this control does not apply to fasteners that are 
designated under an HTS Code under this supplement. Although 
generally fasteners (e.g., screws, bolts, nuts, nut plates, studs, 
inserts, clips, rivets, pins), and washers, spacers, insulator, 
grommets, bushings, springs, wires, and solders are excluded from 
the scope of this supplement, certain part 744 license requirements 
for Russia and Belarus extend to all items ``subject to the EAR,'' 
and would therefore not exclude these items from the license 
requirements under that part (e.g., Sec.  744.21 of the EAR and the 
Entity List license requirements, which in most cases extend to all 
items ``subject to the EAR''). This supplement includes two columns 
consisting of the HTS Codes and HTS Descriptions to assist 
exporters, reexporters, and transferors in identifying the products 
in this supplement. For information on HTS codes in general, you may 
contact a local import specialist at U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection at the nearest port. HTS-6 codes 730424, 731100, 761300, 
841350, 841360, 841382, 841392, 842139, 843049, 843139, 843143, 
847989, and 870520 are listed in both this supplement and supplement 
no. 4 to this part, so exporters, reexporters, and transferors must 
comply with the license requirements under both Sec.  746.8(a)(4) 
and (5) as applicable.
    (b) The items identified in the HTS-6 Code column of this 
supplement are subject to the license requirement under Sec.  
746.8(a)(4). The other column--HTS Description--is intended to 
assist exporters with their Automated Export System (AES) filing 
responsibilities. * * *

17. Supplement no. 3 to part 746 is amended by revising the first 
sentence of the introductory text to read as follows:

Supplement No. 3 to Part 746--Countries Excluded From Certain License 
Requirements of Sec. Sec.  746.6, 746.7, and 746.8

    Countries listed in this supplement have committed to 
implementing substantially similar export controls on Russia and 
Belarus under their domestic laws and are consequently excluded from 
certain requirements in Sec. Sec.  746.6 and 746.8 of the EAR, as 
described in Sec. Sec.  746.6(a)(4) and 746.8(a)(12)(iii). * * *

Supplement No. 4 to Part 746--Russian and Belarusian Industry Sector 
Sanctions Pursuant to Sec.  746.8(a)(5)

    (a) The source for the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)-6 codes 
and descriptions in this list is the United States International 
Trade Commission (USITC)'s Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (2023). The items described in supplement no. 4 to part 746 
include any modified or designed ``components,'' ``parts,'' 
``accessories,'' and ``attachments'' therefor regardless of the HTS 
Code or HTS Description of the ``components,'' ``parts,'' 
``accessories,'' and ``attachments,'' apart from any ``part'' or 
minor ``component'' that is a fastener (e.g., screw, bolt, nut, nut 
plate, stud, insert, clip, rivet, pin), washer, spacer, insulator, 
grommet, bushing, spring, wire, or solder. The exclusion of 
fasteners from this control does not apply to fasteners that are 
designated under an HTS Code under this supplement. Although 
generally fasteners (e.g., screws, bolts, nuts, nut plates, studs, 
inserts, clips, rivets, pins), and washers, spacers, insulators, 
grommets, bushings, springs, wires, and solders are excluded from 
the scope of this supplement, certain part 744 license requirements 
for Russia and Belarus apply to all items ``subject to the EAR,'' 
and would therefore not exclude these items from the license 
requirements under that part (e.g., Sec.  744.21 and the Entity List 
license requirements, which in most cases apply to all items 
``subject to the EAR.''). This supplement includes two columns 
consisting of the HTS Codes and HTS Descriptions to assist 
exporters, reexporters, and transferors in identifying the products 
in this supplement. For information on HTS codes in general, you may 
contact a local import specialist at U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection at the nearest port. HTS-6 codes 730424, 731100, 761300, 
841350, 841360, 841382, 841392, 842139, 843049, 843139, 843143, 
847989, and 870520 are listed in both this supplement and supplement 
no. 2 to this part, so exporters, reexporters, and transferors must 
comply with the license requirements under both Sec.  746.8(a)(4) 
and (5) as applicable. HTS-6 Codes 590500, 840710, 840721, 840729, 
840731, 840732, 840733, 840734, 840790, 840810, 840820, 840890,

870340, 870350, 870360, 870370, 870380, 870390, and 902000 are 
listed in both this supplement and supplement no. 5 to this part, so 
exporters, reexporters, and transferors must comply with the license 
requirements under both Sec. Sec.  746.8(a)(5) and (7) as 
applicable.
    (b) The items identified in the HTS-6 Code column of this 
supplement are subject to the license requirement under Sec.  
746.8(a)(5). The other column--HTS Description--is intended to 
assist exporters with their AES filing responsibilities. The license 
requirements extend to HTS Codes at the 8 and 10 digit level (HTS-8 
and HTS-10 codes, respectively) when such longer HTS Codes begin 
with the HTS-6 Codes as their first 6 numbers. When a description 
mentions parts related to one or more numerical headings, this means 
parts related to any HS codes that begin with the digits in the 
range specified. For example, `headings 8524 to 8528' means any HS 
code, HTS code, or Schedule B which has 8524, 8525, 8526, 8527, or 
8528 as the first four digits.
