Export Administration Regulations: Implementation of Wassenaar
Arrangement 2019 Plenary Decisions; Elimination of Reporting
Requirements for Certain Encryption Items

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains, as part
of its Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Commerce Control
List (CCL), which identifies certain items subject to Department of
Commerce jurisdiction. This final rule revises the CCL, as well as
corresponding parts of the EAR, to implement changes to the Wassenaar
Arrangement List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (WA List) that were
decided upon by governments participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement
on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and
Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement, or WA) at the December 2019 WA
Plenary meeting. The Wassenaar Arrangement advocates implementation of
effective export controls on strategic items with the objective of
improving regional and international security and stability. This rule
harmonizes the CCL with the decisions reached at the 2019 Plenary
meeting by revising Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs)
controlled for national security reasons in each category of the CCL.
This rule also makes associated changes to the EAR as well as
corrections. This rule also makes changes to various provisions related
to Category 5--Part 2 of the CCL in the EAR, including provisions on
License Exception Encryption commodities, software, and technology
(ENC). These changes, which include the elimination of reporting
requirements for certain encryption items, are designed to reduce the
regulatory burden for exporters while still fulfilling U.S. national
security and foreign policy objectives.

DATES: This rule is effective March 29, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms
and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement or WA)
(http://www.wassenaar.org/) is a group of 42 like-minded states
committed to promoting responsibility and transparency in the global
arms trade and preventing destabilizing accumulations of arms. As a
Participating State of the WA (Participating State), the United States
has committed to controlling for export all items on the WA control
lists. The lists were first established in 1996 and have been revised
annually thereafter. Proposals for changes to the WA control lists that
achieve consensus are approved by Participating States at annual
plenary meetings. Participating States are charged with implementing
the list changes as soon as possible after approval. The United States'
implementation of WA control list changes ensures that U.S. companies
have a level playing field with their competitors in other WA
Participating States.
    BIS published a final rule on October 25, 2020 (85 FR 62583)
implementing certain new controls on emerging technologies, as approved
at the December 2019 WA Plenary meeting. The changes in this rule,
which represent the remaining approved changes to the WA control lists,
update the corresponding items listed in the EAR and reflect recent
technical advancements and clarifications. Unless explicitly discussed
below, the revisions made by this rule will not impact the number of
license applications submitted to BIS.
    Revisions to the Commerce Control List Related to WA 2019 Plenary
Decisions Revises 22 ECCNs: 0A502, 0A503, 0A606, 1A002, 1A005, 1A006,
1A613, 1B002, 1C001, 1C002, 1C006, 1C010, 2A001, 3B001, 3E002, 5A002,
6A004, 6A005, 6A008, 9A011, 9D515, 9E003.

Category 0--Nuclear Materials, Facilities, and Equipment [and
Miscellaneous Items]

0A502 Shotguns . . .

    The Header of ECCN 0A502 is amended by adding the phrase ``to
slaughter domestic animals'' to the exclusion text. This phrase is
added because shotguns are often used in the humane slaughter of
domestic animals such as cattle, sheep, or horses.

0A503 Discharge Type Arms and Devices To Administer Electric Shock . .
.

    The header of ECCN 0A503 is amended by adding the phrase ``to
slaughter domestic animals'' to the exclusion text. This phrase is
added because discharge type arms are often used in the humane
slaughter of domestic animals such as cattle, sheep, or horses.

0A606 Ground Vehicles and Related Commodities

    Paragraphs 0A606.b.1 (unarmed vehicles that are derived from
civilian vehicles) and 0A606.b.2 (Parts and components) are amended by
revising the parameters in Items paragraphs b.1.a and b.2.b to add the
defined term ``equivalent standards'' as an alternative to the U.S.
standard of ``level III (National Institute of Justice standard
0108.01, September 1985).'' This revision is made to allow WA
Participating States to be able to use ``comparable national or
international standards recognized by one or more Wassenaar Arrangement
Participating States and applicable to the relevant

entry.'' This definition of ``equivalent standards'' is added to part
772 of the EAR. The word ``for'' is added before the word ``vehicles''
in Items paragraph b.1.b as an editorial correction decided to by the
WA.

Category 1--Special Materials and Related Equipment, Chemicals,
``Microorganisms,'' and ``Toxins''

1A002 ``Composite'' Structures or Laminates

    Note 5 is added at the end of the Items paragraph to exclude
``mechanically chopped, milled, or cut carbon ``fibrous or filamentary
materials'' 25.0 mm or less in length'' from the control in Items
paragraph b.1 (carbon ``fibrous or filamentary materials'').

1A005 Body Armor and ``Specially Designed'' ``Components'' Therefor

    Notes 2 and 3 in the Related Controls paragraph are amended to add
the defined term ``equivalent standards'' after the U.S. ``NIJ level
III'' standard, in order to allow WA Participating States to be able to
use ``comparable national or international standards recognized by one
or more Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States and applicable to
the relevant entry.'' In Items paragraph .b (hard body armor plates
that provide ballistic protection), the term ``national equivalents,''
which is not defined in the EAR, is replaced with the defined term
``equivalent standards,'' which is added to Sec.  772.1 of the EAR by
this rule. This change will also allow the use of equivalent national
standards of Participating States and international standards
recognized by one or more WA Participating States.

1A006 Equipment, ``Specially Designed'' or Modified for the Disposal of
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)

    The Header is amended by capitalizing each of the individual words
in the term ``Improvised Explosive Devices'', as well as adding the
acronym IEDs in parentheses. The Related Controls paragraph is amended
by replacing ``Improvised Explosive Devices'' with the acronym IEDs.
The unilateral definition for `disruptors' is removed from the Related
Definitions paragraph because the WA definition of this term is
included in the Technical Note that is added to 1A006.b. A Note is also
added at the end of the Items paragraph to inform the public that the
controls of ECCN 1A006 do not apply to equipment that accompanies its
operator.

1A613 Armored and Protective ``Equipment'' and Related Commodities

    Items paragraphs .c (military helmets), d.1 (soft body armor and
protective garments), d.2 (hard body armor plates), and the Note after
Items paragraph d.2 are amended by adding ``or ``equivalent standard''
after the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standard, in order to
allow the use of ``comparable national or international standards
recognized by one or more Wassenaar Arrangement Participating States
and applicable to the relevant entry.''

1B002 Equipment Designed To Produce Metal Alloy Powder or Particulate
Materials

    The header is amended to revise the text of the header and move two
unchanged control parameters into two sub-paragraphs in the Items
paragraph section. The header text is amended by replacing ``for
producing metal alloys, metal alloy powder or alloyed materials,
``specially designed'' to avoid contamination and ``specially
designed'' for use in one of the processes specified in 1C002.c.2.''
with ``designed to produce metal alloy powder or particulate materials
and having any of the following (see List of Items Controlled).'' Metal
alloy powders are specified in 1C002.c, but the actual text refers to
``metal alloy powder or particulate material''. The equipment in 1B002
make the metal alloy powder specified in 1C002.c, but not the metal
alloys in 1C002.b. Therefore, ``metal alloys'' is removed from the
header of 1B002.

1C001 Materials ``Specially Designed'' for Absorbing Electromagnetic
Radiation, or Intrinsically Conductive Polymers

    Exclusion Note 1 to 1C001.a is amended by revising paragraph d.2
relating to planar absorbers made of sintered ferrite to add ``or
less'' to the end of the parameter relating to maximum operating
temperature to clarify that the exclusion is not exclusively limited to
materials having a maximum operating temperature of 548 K.

1C002 Metal Alloys, Metal Alloy Powder and Alloyed Materials

    Technical Note 3, which defines `low cycle fatigue life,' is
amended by replacing the defined term ``average stress'' with ``average
stress ratio'' to correctly state what the formula that follows
calculates.

1C006 Fluids and Lubricating Materials

    This rule amends Items paragraph 1C006.d by replacing
``fluorocarbon electronic cooling fluids'' with ``fluorocarbon fluids
designed for electronic cooling'' to reflect the fact that certain
fluorocarbon fluids are designed for electronic cooling. This revision
narrows the scope of control to only those fluorocarbon fluids designed
for electronic cooling.

1C010 ``Fibrous or Filamentary Materials''

    Items paragraph 1C010.c is intended to capture inorganic/ceramic
fibers that are tested or used for applications involving high-stress
and high-temperature environments. However, the current level of
control captured a large number of inorganic fibers that are not
suitable for critical structural applications requiring high modulus
and strength retention at high temperatures. The following changes will
narrow the scope to better target the control. This rule amends Items
paragraph 1C010.c, inorganic ``fibrous or filamentary materials,'' by
splitting paragraph c.1 into two subparagraphs c.1.a and c.1.b, by
adding a silicon dioxide (SiO2) composition element to the existing
``specific modulus'' parameter in 1C010.c.1.a, as well as by adding a
new ``specific modulus'' parameter in paragraph c.1.b, ``exceeding 5.6
x 10\6\ m.''

Category 2--Materials Processing

2A001 Anti-Friction Bearings and Bearing Systems

    The Heading of 2A001 is amended by moving ``and ``components''
therefor'' from the end of the heading to immediately after ``bearing
systems,'' because only paragraph 2A001.c has controls on
``components.'' In addition, Items paragraph 2A001.c is amended by
adding ``and ``specially designed'' components therefor'' because the
component control in the heading no longer applies to all the Items
paragraphs and 2A001.c does include a component control. Replacing
``and ``components'' therefor'' with ``and specially designed''
components therefor'' narrows the scope of control to only those
components that rise to the level of warranting control. Exclusion Note
2 to 2A001 relating to balls with tolerances specified by the
manufacturer in accordance with ISO 3290 is removed because
investigation into ISO 3290 has revealed that versions of this standard
dated 1998 and 2001 have only applied to steel balls.

Category 3--Electronics

3B001 Equipment for the Manufacturing of Semiconductor Devices or
Materials

    A nota bene (N.B.) is added after the Note to 3B001.h to point the
public to 6B002 for masks and reticles ``specially designed'' for
optical sensors.

3E002 ``Technology'' According to the General Technology Note Other
Than That Controlled in 3E001 for the ``Development'' or ``Production''
of a ``Microprocessor Microcircuit'', ``Micro-Computer Microcircuit''
and Microcontroller Microcircuit Core

    In order to better understand the control parameters, this rule
adds two Technical Notes at the end of the Items paragraph to refer to
IEEE-754 for `floating-point' and to define `fixed-point,' as a fixed-
width real number with both an integer component and a fractional
component, and which does not include integer-only formats. Single
quotation marks are added around these terms throughout 3E002, as they
are defined in the context of this ECCN.

Category 5--Part 2--``Information Security''

5A002 ``Information security'' systems, equipment and ``components''

    This rule amends 5A002.a by replacing ``by means of ``cryptographic
activation'' not employing a secure mechanism'' with ``by any means
other than secure ``cryptographic activation''.'' This is an editorial
change made to clarify what is controlled in 5A002.a. It does not
change the scope of the entry.
    This rule also expands the scope of paragraph f (wireless
``personal area network'' functionality) of the 5A002.a exclusion Note
2 by removing the limitations on range and number of connections
specified in the two subparagraphs of paragraph f. As a result, any
item using only published or commercial cryptographic standards where
the ``information security'' functionality is limited to ``personal
area network'' functionality, as defined in part 772 of the EAR, is
excluded from Category 5 Part 2, regardless of the range or number of
connections. In addition, a new Note is being added to the definition
of ``personal area network'' in part 772 to clarify that a ``local area
network'' is not a ``personal area network''. Without the note, the
definition of ``personal area network'' could be read to include some
short-range ``local area networks''.
    This rule adds ``gateways'' to paragraph h of the 5A002.a exclusion
Note 2 to exclude gateways where the ``information security''
functionality is limited to the tasks of ``Operations, Administration
or Maintenance'' (``OAM'') implementing only published or commercial
cryptographic standards.

Category 6--Sensors and Lasers

6A004 Optical Equipment and ``Components''

    This rule amends Items paragraph 6A004.c.4 by moving the phrase
``in any coordinate direction'' from the end of the parameter to the
middle of the paragraph after ``linear thermal expansion,'' as well as
adding the unit ``/K'' (per Kelvin) after 5 x 10-6. These
changes make the control text clearer; they do not change the scope of
the control.

6A005 ``Lasers,'' ``Components'' and Optical Equipment

    This rule amends Items paragraphs a.6.a.1 and a.6.a.2.a (non-
``tunable'' continuous wave ``(CW) lasers,'' `single transverse mode'
output) to replace the term ``average output power'' with ``output
power'' because CW lasers generally have a steady state output power
after a transient time period.

6A008 Radar Systems, Equipment and Assemblies

    This rule amends Items paragraph 6A008.j and the associated Note by
replacing ``instrumented range'' with `instrumented range' because this
rule moves the definition for this term from Sec.  772.1 to a Technical
Note added above Items paragraph j. The definition is moved because it
is only used in 6A008. There is no change to the definition.

Category 9--Aerospace and Propulsion

9A011 Ramjet, Scramjet or `Combined Cycle Engines', and ``Specially
Designed'' ``Parts'' and ``Components'' Therefor

    This rule adds a Technical Note below the heading to define
`combined cycle engines' and adds single quotes around the term in the
heading. Items specified in ECCN 9A011 are ``subject to the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR),'' see 22 CFR parts
120 through 130. The Technical Note is added to assist the public in
identifying items specified in ECCN 9A011.

9D515 ``Software'' ``Specially Designed'' for the ``Development,''
``Production,'' Operation, Installation, Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul,
or Refurbishing of ``Spacecraft'' and Related Commodities

    This rule numbers each sentence in the Related Controls paragraph
and adds a third sentence to direct people to use the appropriate
associated ``software'' ECCN for items listed in 9A004.d when these
items are incorporated into ``spacecraft payloads'' rather than using
9D515 as the classification for such ``software''. Specifically,
persons should use the appropriate associated software ECCN for any of
the following incorporated items: 3A001.b.1.a.4, 3A002.g, 5A001.a.1,
5A001.b.3, 5A002.c, 5A002.e, 6A002.a.1, 6A002.a.2, 6A002.b, 6A002.d,
6A003.b, 6A004.c, 6A004.e, 6A008.d, 6A008.e, 6A008.k, 6A008.l or
9A010.c.

9E003 Other ``Technology''

    This rule amends Item paragraph 9E003.a.11 (`fan blades') to better
define parameters for a fan blade with a substantially open interior.
Since the origin of this entry, numerous fan blade construction methods
have been developed utilizing materials such as metal foams,
honeycombs, and other low density materials in order to reduce weight.
As the term `hollow' is undefined and has no threshold, the scope of
the entry was not clear. Without a specific definition of `hollow', it
is both difficult to identify which components fall under 9.E.3.a.11.
and the technology ``required'' to meet the `hollow' characteristic,
particularly in the absence of parameters or performance requirements.
The term `fan blade' is defined in order to precisely indicate the
items of concern. The structure of the note identifies `fan blades' as
elements of turbofan engines, excluding other types of gas turbine
engines.

Supplement No. 6 to Part 774--Sensitive List

    Sensitive Items set forth in Supplement No. 6 to Part 774 and its
subset of Very Sensitive Items set forth in Supplement No. 7 to Part
774 have reporting requirements in order for WA member countries to
inform one another of transactions involving these items. This rule
amends paragraphs (1)(i)--1A002.a.1 and (1)(vi)--1D002 of Supplement
No. 6 to part 774 (Sensitive List) to align the EAR Sensitive List with
the WA Sensitive List. (For the subset of Very Sensitive items, such as
stealth technology materials and advanced radar, members are called on
to ``exert extreme vigilance'' in exports.)

Changes to Various Provisions Related to Category 5--Part 2 Encryption
Items

    BIS is amending various provisions in the EAR related to items in
Category 5--Part 2, including by eliminating reporting requirements in
order to reduce exporters' regulatory burdens. In

summary, this rule makes the following changes: (1) Eliminates the
email notification requirement for `publicly available' encryption
source code and beta test encryption software, except for `publicly
available' encryption source code and beta test encryption software
implementing ``non-standard cryptography''; (2) eliminates the self-
classification reporting requirement for certain `mass market'
encryption products under Sec.  740.17(b)(1); and (3) allows self-
classification reporting for ECCN 5A992.c or 5D992.c components of
`mass market' products (and their `executable software'). This rule
moves ``mass market'' ``components,'' `executable software', toolsets,
and toolkits out of Sec.  740.17(b)(3)(i) and into (b)(1). Of those
four items, only ``mass market'' ``components'' and `executable
software' are subject to self-classification reporting. Mass market
toolsets and toolkits are not subject to self-classification reporting.
    This rule does not change any of the License Exception ENC
requirements for any non-`mass market' encryption item, or for any
encryption item (`mass market' or not) that implements ``non-standard
cryptography''.

Sec.  734.4 De Minimis

    This rule revises the title of paragraph (b) and the introductory
paragraph (b)(1) to accommodate the addition of digital forensics items
(digital investigative tools). This rule also revises paragraph
(b)(1)(i) by replacing ``notification requirement of'' with ``criteria
specified in,'' because of the change that is simultaneously being made
to the notification requirement provisions in Sec.  742.15(b) of the
EAR.

Sec.  734.17 Export of Encryption Source Code and Object Code Software

    This rule revises paragraph (b)(2) by replacing ``notification
requirements for'' with ``additional requirements'' in the second
sentence and ``notification requirements'' in the last sentence with
``additional requirements'', because of this rule's removal of the
notification requirement set forth in Sec.  742.15(b) of the EAR for
the majority of publicly available software. The reference to Sec.
742.15(b) remains in light of the other requirements that this
provision contains, including notification requirements that remain in
effect for a small percentage of certain publicly available software.

Sec.  740.9 Temporary Imports, Exports, Reexports, and Transfers (In-
Country) (TMP)

    This rule revises paragraph (c)(8), regarding the notification
requirement associated with beta test encryption software eligible
under License Exception TMP, by narrowing the scope of the requirement
to apply only to beta test encryption software implementing ``non-
standard cryptography,'' as that term is defined in part 772 of the
EAR.

Sec.  740.13 Technology and Software Unrestricted (TSU)

    This rule revises paragraph (d)(2), regarding mass market software
exclusions, by correcting citation references. In a rule published on
September 20, 2016 (81 FR 64657), EAR requirements for ``mass market''
encryption software were updated and moved from Sec.  742.15(b) to
Sec.  740.17(b). However, BIS inadvertently did not update the
citations in paragraph (d)(2) at that time and is consequently
correcting that oversight in this rule.

Sec.  740.17 Encryption Commodities, Software and Technology (ENC)

    This rule revises the title of introductory paragraph (b), from
``Classification request or self-classification report'' to
``Classification request or self-classification'' because self-
classification reports are required for some, but not all, items that
exporters can self-classify. Introductory paragraph (b) is also revised
by adding the word ``certain'' to the first sentence to indicate that
as a consequence of changes made in this rule, not all products
described in paragraph (b)(1) that are self-classified require a self-
classification report. Paragraph (b)(3) is revised by removing a
reference to (b)(3)(i) in the last sentence, because (b)(3)(i) no
longer applies to any ``mass market'' component, toolset or toolkit as
a consequence of the revisions made in this rule. This rule adds the
term ``Non-``mass market'' to the title of paragraph (b)(3)(i). It also
revises the sentence in this paragraph to read in this manner:
``Specified components classified under ECCN 5A002.a and equivalent or
related software classified under ECCN 5D002 that do not meet the
criteria set forth in Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2 of the CCL (the
``mass market'' note) and are not described by paragraph (b)(2) or
(b)(3)(ii) of this section, as follows:''. These changes eliminate
mandatory submission of a classification request to BIS for the review
of ECCN 5A992.c components and ECCN 5D992.c `executable software' of
``mass market'' products, except for ``non-standard cryptography''.
With the elimination of this classification request requirement, the
eligible ``mass market'' ``components'' and `executable software' now
default to `(b)(1)' status and consequently may be self-classified and
annually reported to BIS and the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator,
Ft. Meade, MD (via email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and 6a0f04092a04190b440d051c,
respectively). In addition, a reference to paragraph (b)(3)(ii) is
added to the end of this sentence in paragraph (b)(3)(i) in order to
avoid confusion related to ``non-standard cryptography'', as the
paragraph (b)(3)(ii) requirement to submit a classification request for
``non-standard cryptography'' remains. In summary, BIS is making the
following changes to the License Exception ENC requirements for items
formerly described in Sec.  740.17(b)(3)(i) prior to this rule:
    (a) ``Mass market'' chips, chipsets, electronic assemblies and
field programmable logic devices, and their qualifying `executable
software', that are not described in paragraph (b)(2) of License
Exception ENC are now authorized under Sec.  740.17(b)(1) instead of
Sec.  740.17(b)(3)(i)(A). These items can now be self-classified and
require a self-classification report. BIS anticipates that most
cryptographic libraries and modules will remain in Sec.
740.17(b)(3)(i)(B), because paragraph b of Category 5--Part 2 Note 3
(Cryptography Note) excludes items whose primary function is
``information security''.
    (b) ``Mass market'' development kits (toolsets) and toolkits that
are stand-alone products (e.g., are not ``components'' or `executable
software' of another ``mass market'' product) are also now authorized
under Sec.  740.17(b)(1). These items can now be self-classified under
ECCN 5A992c or 5D992.c, and self-classification reporting is not
required.
    There is no change in the status of or requirements relating to
items described in Sec. Sec.  740.17(b)(3)(ii), (iii), or (iv).

Revisions to Sec.  740.17(e) Reporting Requirements

    Paragraph (e)(3), self-classification reporting, is revised by
adding after the reference to commodities, software, and components in
the second sentence ``and components exported or reexported meeting the
criteria specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.'' It also adds
a sentence immediately thereafter that explains that the reporting
requirement applies to ``mass market'' encryption ``components'' and
`executable software' that meet the criteria of the Cryptography Note--
Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2 of the CCL (``mass market'' note) and are
classified under ECCN 5A992.c or 5D992.c following self-classification,
provided these items are not further described by paragraph (b)(2) or
(b)(3) of Section

740.17. The reporting requirement also applies to non-``mass market''
encryption commodities, software, and components that remain classified
in ECCN 5A002, 5B002 or 5D002 following self-classification, provided
these items are not further described by paragraph (b)(2) or (b)(3) of
Section 740.17. A new note is added for this paragraph that defines
`executable software,' as well as clarifies that `executable software'
does not include complete binary images of the ``software'' running on
an end-item, corresponding to similar notes in the Cryptography Note
(Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2 in the CCL, Supplement No. 1 to part
774). Clarifying phrases are also added to this paragraph to indicate
which non-``mass market'' commodities and software still require self-
classification reporting. Under these revisions, ``mass market''
encryption items that fall under Sec.  740.17(b)(1) no longer require
classification by BIS or submission of a self-classification report
except as noted above. There is no change to the classification or
self-classification reporting requirements for non-``mass market''
encryption items controlled under ECCNs 5A002, 5B002 or 5D002. These
revisions are estimated to produce a 60% reduction in encryption self-
classification reports.

Sec.  742.15 Encryption Items

    This rule renames and revises paragraph (b)(2), regarding the
notification requirement for `publicly available' encryption software,
to eliminate email notification to BIS and the ENC Encryption Request
Coordinator of such software except for ``non-standard cryptography.''
These revisions are estimated to produce an 80% reduction in
notifications regarding publicly available encryption software.

Category 5--Part 2

    This rule revises the Nota Bene (N.B.) to Note 3 (Cryptography
Note) by adding the word ``certain'' before ``mass market encryption
commodities and software'' in the first sentence to indicate that as a
result of this rule, not all ``mass market'' encryption requires
classification by BIS or the submission of a self-classification report
to be released from encryption items (EI) and national security (NS)
controls of ECCN 5A002 or 5D002. A sentence is added to the end of this
N.B. to clarify the status of ``mass market'' commodities and software
that no longer require a self-classification report, including that
such items are released from EI and NS controls of ECCN 5A002 or 5D002
but remain controlled under ECCN 5A992.c or 5D992.c.

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, the President signed the Export Control Reform
Act of 2018 (ECRA), 50 U.S.C. Sections 4801-4852, which provides the
legal basis for BIS's principal authorities and serves as the authority
under which BIS issues this rule.

Savings Clause

    Shipments of items removed from license exception eligibility or
eligibility for export, reexport or transfer (in-country) without a
license as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock for
loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or en route
aboard a carrier to a port of export, on March 29, 2021, pursuant to
actual orders for exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) to a
foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous
license exception eligibility or without a license so long as they have
been exported, reexported or transferred (in-country) before May 28,
2021. Any such items not actually exported, reexported or transferred
(in-country) before midnight, on May 28, 2021, require a license in
accordance with this final rule.

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, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying costs and
benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility.
    This rule has been designated a ``significant regulatory action''
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 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: 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose
Application'' which carries a burden hour estimate of 29.6 minutes for
a manual or electronic submission; 0694-0137 ``License Exceptions and
Exclusions'', which carries a burden hour estimate average of 1.5 hours
per submission (Note: Submissions for License Exceptions are rarely
required); 0694-0096 ``Five Year Records Retention Period'', which
carries a burden hour estimate of less than 1 minute; and 0607-0152
``Automated Export System (AES) Program'', which carries a burden hour
estimate of 3 minutes per electronic submission. Specific license
application submission estimates are discussed further in the preamble
of this rule where the revisions are explained. BIS estimates that
revisions that are editorial (e.g., moving the location of control text
on the CCL), or that are clarifications will result in no change in
license application submissions. Regarding the self-classification
notifications for License Exception ENC under collection 0694-137, 75%
of encryption self-classification notifications are now entirely mass
market submissions. Of those mass market submissions, BIS estimates
that 80% of the encryption products in these submissions implement
standards-based cryptography. Therefore, the elimination of encryption
self-classification notifications for encryption products that
implement standards-based cryptography under License Exception ENC is
anticipated to result in a 60% reduction of submissions. However,
because all 18 license exceptions set forth in Part 740 of the EAR are
bundled into one collection, the revisions included in this rule result
in no change to the overall burden for collection 0694-0137.

Administrative Procedure Act and Regulatory Flexibility Act
Requirements

    Pursuant to Sec.  4821 of ECRA, this action is exempt from the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) (APA) requirements for
notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation,
and delay in the date of effectiveness.
    Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule under the APA
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.

    (3) Self-classification reporting for certain encryption
commodities, software, and components. This paragraph (e)(3) sets forth
requirements for self-classification reporting to BIS and the ENC
Encryption Request Coordinator (Ft. Meade, MD) of certain encryption
commodities, software, and components exported or reexported meeting
the criteria specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
Specifically, this reporting requirement applies to ``mass market''
encryption components and `executable software' that meet the criteria
of the Cryptography Note--Note 3 to Category 5--Part 2 of the CCL
(``mass market'' note) and are classified under ECCN 5A992.c or 5D992.c
following self-classification, as well as to non-``mass market''
encryption commodities and software that remain classified in ECCN
5A002, 5B002 or 5D002 following self-classification, provided these
items are not further described by paragraph (b)(2) or (3) of this
section.
    Note to introductory text of paragraph (e)(3): For the purposes of
this paragraph (e)(3), `executable software' means ``software'' in
executable form, from an existing hardware component excluded from ECCN
5A002 by the Cryptography Note. `Executable software' does not include
complete binary images of the ``software'' running on an end item.

Coordinator via email of the internet location (e.g., URL or internet
address) of the source code or provide each of them a copy of the
publicly available encryption source code. If you update or modify the
source code, you must also provide additional copies to each of them
each time the cryptographic functionality of the source code is updated
or modified. In addition, if you posted the source code on the
internet, you must notify BIS and the ENC Encryption Request
