[Docket No. 181219999-8999-01]
RIN 0694-AH72

Addition of Certain Entities to the Entity List, Revision of an
Entry on the Entity List, and Removal of an Entity From the Entity List

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR) by adding twelve entities, under a total of sixteen entries, to
the Entity List. These twelve entities have been determined by the U.S.
Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign
policy interests of the United States and will be listed on the Entity
List under the destinations of China, Hong Kong, Pakistan and the
United Arab Emirates. This rule also modifies one existing entry on the
Entity List under the destination of the United Arab Emirates. Finally,
this rule removes one entity under the destination of the United Arab
Emirates. The removal is made in connection with a request for removal
that BIS received pursuant to sections of the EAR used for requesting
removal or modification of an Entity List entry and a review of
information provided in that request.

DATES: This rule is effective May 14, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Entity List (15 CFR, Subchapter C, part 744, Supplement No. 4)
identifies entities 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 Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR, Subchapter
C, parts 730-774) impose additional license requirements on, and limits
the availability of most license exceptions for, exports, reexports,
and transfers (in-country) to listed entities. The license review
policy for each listed entity is identified in the ``License review
policy'' column on the Entity List, and the impact on the availability
of license exceptions is described in the relevant Federal Register
notice adding entities to the Entity List. BIS places entities on the
Entity List pursuant to part 744 (Control Policy: End-User and End-Use
Based) and part 746 (Embargoes and Other Special Controls) of the EAR.
    The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of
the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where
appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions regarding additions to,
removals from, or other modifications to the Entity List. The ERC makes
all decisions to add an entry to the Entity List by majority vote, and
makes all decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote.

ERC Entity List Decisions

Additions to the Entity List

    This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add twelve
entities, under a total of sixteen entries, to the Entity List; four of
the entities being added are located in two destinations. The twelve
entities are being added based on Sec.  744.11 (License requirements
that apply to entities acting contrary to the national security or
foreign policy interests of the United States) of the EAR. The sixteen
entries consist of six entries located in China, four entries located
in Hong Kong, one entry located Pakistan and five entries in the United
Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).
    The ERC reviewed Sec.  744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity
List) in making the determination to add these twelve entities to the
Entity List. Under that paragraph, persons for whom there is reasonable
cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that they
have been involved, are involved, or pose 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, along with
those acting on behalf of such persons, may be added to the Entity
List. Paragraphs (b)(1) through (5) of Sec.  744.11 provide an
illustrative list of activities that could be contrary to the national
security or foreign policy interests of the United States. For each of
the twelve entities described below, the ERC made the requisite
determination under the standard set forth in Sec.  744.11(b).
    Pursuant to Sec.  744.11(b) of the EAR, the ERC determined to add
Longkui Qu and Taizhou CBM-Future New Material Science and Technology
Co., Ltd., both located in China, to the Entity List for engaging in
activities contrary to the national security interests of the United
States. Specifically, these entities participated in the prohibited
export of controlled technology concerning the manufacture of syntactic
foam and supplying syntactic foam to PRC state-owned enterprises, PRC
defense industrial corporations, and PRC military-related academic
institutions.
    The ERC also determined to add four companies--Avin Electronics
Technology Co., Ltd. (AETC); Multi-Mart Electronics Technology Co,
Ltd.; Tenco Technology Company Ltd.; and Yutron Technology Co. Ltd.--to
the Entity List under the destinations of China and Hong Kong for
actions contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests
of the United States. Specifically, these entities have been attempting
to procure U.S.-origin commodities that would ultimately provide
material support to Iran's weapons of mass destruction and military
programs, in violation of U.S. export controls.
    In addition, the ERC determined to add Impex Trade & Services,
located in the destination of Pakistan, to the Entity List for actions
contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the
United States. Specifically, Impex Trade & Services has been involved
in proliferation to unsafeguarded nuclear activities.
    Under the destination of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), the ERC
determined that German Sky

International Trading Company LLC has been involved in activities that
are contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of
the United States. Specifically, in accordance with Sec.  744.11(b)(4),
German Sky International Trading Company LLC is being added to the
Entity List because it has prevented the accomplishment of end-user
checks conducted by the Department of Commerce. Also under the
destination of the U.A.E., the ERC has determined to add to the Entity
List Emirates Hermes General Trading; Presto Freight International,
LLC; Basha Asmath Shaikh; and Manohar Nair. These four entities have
been involved in activities that are contrary to the national security
and foreign policy interests of the United States as set forth in Sec.
744.11(b). Emirates Hermes General Trading and Presto Freight
International, LLC, operated by Basha Asmath Shaikh and Manohar Nair,
procured U.S.-origin items for Complete Freight Solutions, a listed
entity on the Entity List, and for Mahan Air, an Iranian airline that
is subject to a BIS temporary denial order and has been designated a
Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the U.S. Department of
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
    Pursuant to Sec.  744.11(b) of the EAR, the ERC determined that the
conduct of these twelve entities raises sufficient concern that prior
review of exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of all items
subject to the EAR involving these entities, and the possible
imposition of license conditions or license denials on shipments to the
persons, will enhance BIS's ability to prevent violations of the EAR.
    For the twelve entities, under a total of sixteen entries, being
added to the Entity List, BIS imposes a license requirement for all
items subject to the EAR and a license review policy of presumption of
denial. The license requirements apply to any transaction in which
items are to be exported, reexported, or transferred (in-country) to
any of the entities or in which such entities act as purchaser,
intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end-user. In addition,
no license exceptions are available for exports, reexports, or
transfers (in-country) to the entities being added to the Entity List
in this rule. The acronym ``a.k.a.'' (also known as) is used in entries
on the Entity List to identify aliases, thereby assisting exporters,
reexporters, and transferors in identifying entities on the Entity
List.
    This final rule adds the following twelve entities, under a total
of sixteen entries, to the Entity List:

existing entry, Modest Marking LLC, which was added to the Entity List
under the destination of the United Arab Emirates on January 26, 2018

List on the basis of a removal request. The entry for DGL Clearing and
Forwarding LLC was added to the Entity List on January 26, 2018 (83 FR

export or reexport to a foreign destination, may proceed to that
destination under the previous eligibility for a License Exception or
export or NLR.

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S.
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which
included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (Title XVII,
Subtitle B of Pub. L. 115-232), which provides the legal basis for
BIS's principal authorities and serves as the authority under which BIS
issues this rule. As set forth in Sec.  1768 of ECRA, all delegations,
rules, regulations, orders, determinations, licenses, or other forms of
administrative action that have been made, issued, conducted, or
allowed to become effective under the Export Administration Act of 1979
(50 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.) (as in effect prior to August 13, 2018, and as
continued in effect pursuant to the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and Executive Order 13222 of August
17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as amended by Executive
Order 13637 of March 8, 2013, 78 FR 16129 (March 13, 2013), and as
extended by the Notice of August 8, 2018, 83 FR 39871 (August 13,
2018)), or the Export Administration Regulations, and are in effect as
of August 13, 2018, shall continue in effect according to their terms
until modified, superseded, set aside, or revoked under the authority
of ECRA.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. 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, distributive 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 rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866. This rule is not an Executive Order
13771 regulatory action because this rule is not significant under
Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to or be subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA), unless
that collection of information displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This regulation involves
collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088,
Simplified Network Application Processing System, which includes, among
other things, license applications, and carries a burden estimate of
43.8 minutes for a manual or electronic submission.
    Total burden hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number
0694-0088 are not expected to increase as a result of this rule. You
may send comments regarding the collection of information associated
with this rule, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to
Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by fax to<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. Pursuant to sec. 1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018
(Title XVII, Subtitle B of Pub. L. 115-232), which was included in the
John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019,
this action is exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requirements for notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for
public participation, and delay in effective date.
    5. This action involves the removal of an entity from the Entity
List. Removals from the Entity List involve interagency deliberation
and result from review of public and non-public sources, including,
where applicable, sensitive law enforcement information and classified
information, and the measurement of such information against the Entity
List removal criteria. This information is reviewed according to the
procedures and criteria for evaluating removal requests from the Entity
List, as set forth in 15 CFR 744.11, 15 CFR 744.16, and 15 CFR part
744, Supplement No. 5. For reasons of national security, BIS is not at
liberty to provide to the public detailed information on which the ERC
relies to make the decisions to remove these entities. In addition, the
information included in a removal request is exchanged between the
applicant and the ERC, which by law (sec. 1761(h) of the ECRA), BIS is
restricted from sharing with the public. Moreover, removal requests
from the Entity List may contain confidential business information that
is necessary for the extensive review conducted by the ERC.
    6. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C.
553, or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., are not applicable.
Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required and none
has been prepared.
