SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The UVL, found in supplement no. 6 to part 744 of the EAR (15 CFR
parts 730-774), contains the names and addresses of foreign persons who
are or have been parties to a transaction, as described in Sec. 748.5
of the EAR, involving the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) of
items subject to the EAR. These foreign persons are added to the UVL
because BIS or federal officials acting on BIS's behalf were unable to
verify their bona fides (i.e., legitimacy and reliability relating to
the end use and end user of items subject to the EAR) through the
completion of an end-use check. Sometimes these checks, such as a pre-
license check (PLC) or a post-shipment verification (PSV), cannot be
completed satisfactorily for reasons outside of the U.S. Government's
control.
There are any number of reasons why these checks cannot be
completed to the satisfaction of the U.S. Government. The reasons
include, but are not limited to: (1) reasons unrelated to the
cooperation of the foreign party subject to the end-use check (e.g.,
BIS sometimes initiates end-use checks but is unable to complete them
because the foreign party cannot be found at the address indicated on
the associated export documents and BIS cannot contact the party by
telephone or email); (2) reasons related to a lack of cooperation by a
host government that fails to schedule and facilitate the completion of
an end-use check (e.g., a host government agency fails to respond to
requests to conduct end-use checks, undertakes actions preventing the
scheduling of such checks, or refuses to schedule checks in a timely
manner); or (3) when, during the end-use check, a recipient of items
subject to the EAR is unable to produce the items that are the subject
of the end-use check for visual inspection or provide sufficient
documentation or other evidence to confirm the disposition of the
items.
BIS's inability to confirm the bona fides of foreign persons
subject to end-use checks raises concerns about the suitability of such
persons as participants in future exports, reexports, or transfers (in-
country) of items subject to the EAR. An inability to confirm bona
fides also indicates a risk that such items may be diverted to
prohibited end uses and/or end users. Under such circumstances, there
may not be sufficient information to add the foreign person at issue to
the Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the EAR). Therefore,
BIS may add the foreign person to the UVL.
As provided in Sec. 740.2(a)(17) of the EAR, the use of license
exceptions for exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) involving
a party or parties to the transaction who are listed on the UVL is
suspended. Additionally, under Sec. 744.15(b) of the EAR, there is a
requirement for exporters, reexporters, and transferors to obtain, and
maintain a record of, a UVL statement from a party or parties to a
transaction who are listed on the UVL before proceeding with exports,
reexports, and transfers (in-country) to such persons, when the items
to be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) are not subject
to a license requirement. Finally, pursuant to Sec. 758.1(b)(8),
Electronic Export Information (EEI) must be filed in the Automated
Export System (AES) for all exports of tangible items subject to the
EAR where parties to the transaction, as described in Sec. 748.5(d)
through (f), are listed on the UVL.
Requests for the removal of a UVL entry must be made in accordance
with Sec. 744.15(d) of the EAR. Decisions regarding the removal or
modification of a UVL entry will be made by the Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Export Enforcement, based on a demonstration by the
listed person of their bona fides. As provided in Sec. 744.15(c)(2) of
the EAR, BIS will remove a person from the UVL when BIS is able to
verify the bona fides of the listed person.
Additions to the UVL
Pursuant to Sec. 744.15(c) of the EAR, this rule adds 18 persons
to the UVL by amending supplement no. 6 to part 744 of the EAR to
include their names and addresses. This final rule implements the
decision to add the following 18 persons located in the following
destinations to the UVL:
<bullet> Arctic Star Co., Ltd.; Henixio Aviation Co., Ltd.; Shusum
Construction Ltd.; Sino-World International Co., Ltd.; and Vauxhall
International Co., Ltd., under the destination of China;
<bullet> Buran TMI; Finland Multi Center FMC OY; Finnalliance OY;
Inmargo OY; Karjalan Puutyo; and MM Cargo OY, under the destination of
Finland;
<bullet> Euro Servizi Elettromeccanici Industriali SEI., under the
destination of Italy;
<bullet> EltexAlatau and Inter-Traid Electro, under the destination
of Kazakhstan;
<bullet> Bagil Havacilik, Basak Traktor, and Ozkanlar Grup Makine
AS, under the destination of T[uuml]rkiye; and
<bullet> Identiparts Ltd., under the destination of the United
Kingdom.
[[Page 17340]]
Removals From the UVL
This rule removes a total of five persons from the UVL by amending
supplement no. 6 to part 744 of the EAR. The following four persons
located in the following destinations are removed from the UVL because
BIS was able to verify their bona fides: Bada Group Hong Kong
Corporation, Limited and PNC Systems (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. under the
destination of China; and Lavender General Trading and Sea Prince
Logistics LLC under the destination of the United Arab Emirates. BIS is
removing these four persons pursuant to Sec. 744.15(c)(2) of the EAR.
On October 23, 2024, in the final rule ``Addition of Entities,
Revision of an Entry, and Removal of Entries on the Entity List'', BIS
added ``Small Leopard Electronics Co., Ltd.'' under the destination of
China to the Entity List (89 FR 84460). Therefore, as a conforming
change, this final rule also removes ``Small Leopard Electronics Co.,
Ltd.'', under the destination of China, from the UVL.
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 final rule. In
particular, Sec. 1753 of ECRA (50 U.S.C. 4812) authorizes the
regulation of exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) of items
subject to U.S. jurisdiction. Further, Sec. 1754(a)(1)-(16) of ECRA
(50 U.S.C. 4813(a)(1)-(16)), authorizes, inter alia, requiring measures
for compliance with the export controls established under ECRA;
requiring and obtaining such information from U.S. persons and foreign
persons as is necessary to carry out ECRA; apprising the public of
changes in policy, regulations, and procedures; and any other action
necessary to carry out ECRA that is not otherwise prohibited by law.
Pursuant to Sec. 1762(a) of ECRA (50 U.S.C. 4821(a)), these changes
can be imposed in a final rule without prior notice and comment.
Savings Clause
Shipments (1) that are removed from license exception eligibility
or that are now subject to requirements in Sec. 744.15 of the EAR as a
result of this regulatory action; (2) that were eligible for export,
reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license before this
regulatory action; and (3) that were on dock for loading, on lighter,
laden aboard an exporting carrier, or enroute aboard a carrier to a
port of export, by April 25, 2025, pursuant to actual orders, may
proceed to that UVL listed person under the previous license exception
eligibility or without a license and pursuant to the export clearance
requirements set forth in part 758 of the EAR that applied prior to
this person being listed on the UVL, so long as the items have been
exported from the United States, reexported, or transferred (in-
country) before May 27, 2025. Any such items not actually exported,
reexported or transferred (in-country) before midnight on May 27, 2025
are subject to the requirements in Sec. 744.15 of the EAR in
accordance with this rule.
Rulemaking Requirements
Executive Order Requirements
Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 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 (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distribute impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This final rule is not significant under Executive Order
12866. This final rule is not a regulatory action under Executive Order
14192, because it is not a significant rule under Executive Order
12866.
This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications as
that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
Paperwork Reduction Act Requirements
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required
to respond to, nor is 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.
The UVL additions contain collections of information approved by
OMB under the following control numbers:
<bullet> OMB Control Number 0694-0088--Simple Network Application
Process and Multipurpose Application Form
<bullet> OMB Control Number 0694-0122--Miscellaneous Licensing
Responsibilities and Enforcement
<bullet> OMB Control Number 0694-0134--Entity List and Unverified List
Requests
<bullet> OMB Control Number 0694-0137--License Exemptions and
Exclusions
BIS believes that the overall increases in burdens and costs
related to this rule will be minimal and will fall within the already
approved amounts for these existing collections. 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.
Administrative Procedure Act and Regulatory Flexibility Act
Requirements
Pursuant to section 1762 of ECRA (50 U.S.C. 4821), this action is
exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553,
requirements for notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for
public participation.
Further, no other law requires notice of proposed rulemaking or
opportunity for public comment for this final rule. Because a notice of
proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not
required under the Administrative Procedure Act or by any other law,
the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq., are not applicable.
