[Docket No. 150604505-5505-01]
RIN 0694-AG65

Addition of Certain Persons to the Entity List

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding twenty-nine persons under
thirty-three entries to the Entity List. The twenty-nine persons who
are added to the Entity List have been determined by the U.S.
Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign
policy interests of the United States. BIS is taking this action to
ensure the efficacy of existing sanctions on the Russian Federation
(Russia) for violating international law and fueling the conflict in
eastern Ukraine. These persons will be listed on the Entity List under
the destinations of Crimea region of Ukraine, Cyprus, Finland, Romania,
Russia, Switzerland, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. This final rule
also revises the reference to Crimea (occupied) on the Entity List to
conform to other references in the EAR that refer to the Crimea region
of Ukraine.

DATES: This rule is effective September 2, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744 of the EAR)
identifies entities

and other persons reasonably believed to be involved in, or that pose a
significant risk of being or becoming involved in, activities that are
contrary to the national security or foreign policy of the United
States. The EAR imposes additional licensing requirements on, and
limits the availability of most license exceptions for, exports,
reexports, and transfers (in-country) to those persons or entities
listed on the Entity List. 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 Federal Register notice adding entities or other
persons to the Entity List. BIS places entities on the Entity List
based on certain sections of 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) is composed of representatives
of the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy, and
where appropriate, the Treasury. The ERC makes decisions to add an
entry to the Entity List by majority vote and to remove or modify an
entry by unanimous vote. The Departments represented on the ERC have
approved these changes to the Entity List.

Entity List Additions

Additions to the Entity List

    This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add twenty-nine
persons under thirty-three entries to the Entity List. These twenty-
nine persons are being added on the basis of 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 thirty-three entries to the Entity List are located in the Crimea
region of Ukraine, Cyprus, Finland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland,
Ukraine, and the United Kingdom (British Virgin Islands). There are
thirty-three entries for the twenty-nine persons because two persons
are listed in two locations and one person is listed in three
locations, resulting in four additional entries.
    Under Sec.  744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity List) of
the EAR, persons for whom there is reasonable cause to believe, based
on specific and articulable facts, 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 and those acting on behalf of such persons may be
added to the Entity List. The persons being added to the Entity List
have been determined to be involved in activities that are contrary to
the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.
Specifically, in this rule, BIS adds persons to the Entity List for
violating international law and fueling the conflict in eastern
Ukraine. These additions ensure the efficacy of existing sanctions on
Russia. The particular additions to the Entity List and related
authorities are as follows.
A. Entity Addition Consistent With Executive Order 13660
    One entity is added based on activities that are described in
Executive Order 13660 (79 FR 13493), Blocking Property of Certain
Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine, issued by the
President on March 6, 2014. As described in the Order, the President
found that the actions and policies of persons who have asserted
governmental authority in Crimea without the authorization of the
Government of Ukraine undermine democratic processes and institutions
in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and
territorial integrity; and contribute to the misappropriation of its
assets, and thereby constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to
the national security and foreign policy of the United States. The
President also declared a national emergency to deal with that threat.
    Executive Order 13660 blocks all property and interests in property
that are in the United States, that come within the United States, or
that are or come within the possession or control of any United States
person (including any foreign branch) of any person determined by the
Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State,
to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have engaged in, directly
or indirectly, misappropriation of state assets of Ukraine or of an
economically significant entity in Ukraine, among other activities.
Under Section 8 of the Order, all agencies of the United States
Government are directed to take all appropriate measures within their
authority to carry out the provisions of the Order.
    The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control
(OFAC), pursuant to Executive Order 13660, has designated the following
person: Private Joint-Stock Company Mako Holding. In conjunction with
that designation, the Department of Commerce adds Private Joint-Stock
Company Mako Holding to the Entity List under this rule and imposes a
license requirement for exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country)
to this blocked person. This license requirement implements an
appropriate measure within the authority of the EAR to carry out the
provisions of Executive Order 13660.
    Private Joint-Stock Company Mako Holding is added to the Entity
List under Executive Order 13660 because it is owned or controlled by,
or has acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or
indirectly a person whose property and interests are blocked pursuant
to that Order, Oleksandr Viktorovych Yanukovych. Oleksandr Yanukovych
is responsible for or complicit in, or has engaged in, directly or
indirectly, misappropriation of state assets of Ukraine or of an
economically significant entity in Ukraine.
    Therefore, pursuant to Sec.  744.11 of the EAR, the conduct of this
one person raises sufficient concern that prior review of exports,
reexports, or transfers (in-country) of all items subject to the EAR
involving this person, and the possible imposition of license
conditions or license denials on shipments to this persons, will
enhance BIS's ability to protect the foreign policy and national
security interests of the United States.
B. Entity Additions Consistent With Executive Order 13661
    Seven entities are added based on activities that are described in
Executive Order 13661 (79 FR 15533), Blocking Property of Additional
Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine, issued by the
President on March 16, 2014. This Order expanded the scope of the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13660, finding that the
actions and policies of the Government of the Russian Federation with
respect to Ukraine--including the deployment of Russian military forces
in the Crimea region of Ukraine--undermine democratic processes and
institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability,
sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute to the
misappropriation of its assets, and thereby constitute an unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the
United States.
    Executive Order 13661 includes a directive that all property and
interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter
come within the United States, or that are or thereafter come within
the possession or control of any United States person (including any
foreign branch) of the following persons are blocked and may not be
transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise

dealt in: persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
consultation with the Secretary of State to have either materially
assisted, sponsored or provided financial, material or technological
support for, or goods and services to or in support of a senior
official of the government of the Russian Federation or operate in the
defense or related materiel sector in Russia. Under Section 8 of the
Order, all agencies of the United States Government are directed to
take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the
provisions of the Order.
    The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control,
pursuant to Executive Order 13661, on behalf of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and in consultation with the Secretary of State, has
designated the following seven persons: Airfix Aviation Oy, IPP Oil
Products (Cyprus) Limited, Open Joint Stock Company Kontsern Izhmash,
Izhevsky Mekhanichesky Zavod JSC, Set Petrochemicals Oy, Southeast
Trading Oy, and Southport Management Services Limited. In conjunction
with those designations, the Department of Commerce adds all seven of
those entities to the Entity List under this rule, and imposes a
license requirement for exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country)
to these persons. This license requirement implements an appropriate
measure within the authority of the EAR to carry out the provisions of
Executive Order 13661.
    Five of the persons added to the Entity List under Executive Order
13661 meet the criteria of Section 1, subparagraph D of the Order
because they are linked to the provision of material support to a
person previously designated by OFAC, Gennady Timchenko: Airfix
Aviation Oy, IPP Oil Products (Cyprus) Limited, Set Petrochemicals Oy,
Southeast Trading Oy, and Southport Management Services Limited.
    Two of the persons added to the Entity List under Executive Order
13661 meet the criteria of Section 1, subparagraph B of the Order
because they operate in Russia's arms or related materiel sector: Open
Joint Stock Company Kontsern Izhmash and Izhevsky Mekhanichesky Zavod
JSC. Open Joint Stock Company Kontsern Izhmash and Izhevsky
Mekhanichesky Zavod JSC are linked to an entity previously designated
by OFAC, Kalashnikov Concern, which was added to the Entity List on
July 22, 2014 (79 FR 42455).
C. Entity Additions Consistent With Executive Order 13662
    Fifteen entities are added based on activities that are described
in Executive Order 13662 (79 FR 16169), Blocking Property of Additional
Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine, issued by the
President on March 20, 2014. This Order expanded the scope of the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13660 of March 6, 2014
and Executive Order 13661 of March 16, 2014. Specifically, Executive
Order 13662 expanded the scope to include sectors of the Russian
economy as may be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in
consultation with the Secretary of State, such as financial services,
energy, metals and mining, engineering, and defense and related
materiel. Under Section 8 of the Order, all agencies of the United
States Government are directed to take all appropriate measures within
their authority to carry out the provisions of the Order.
    The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control,
pursuant to Executive Order 13662, on behalf of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and in consultation with the Secretary of State, has
designated the following fifteen persons as operating in the energy
sector of Russia and owned or controlled by, or have acted or purported
to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, a person whose
property and interests are blocked pursuant to the Order, Rosneft: CJSC
Vankorneft, Neft-Aktiv LLC, OJSC Achinsk Refinery, OJSC Angarsk
Petrochemical Company, OJSC Kuybyshev Refinery, OJSC Novokuybyshev
Refinery, OJSC Orenburgneft, OJSC RN Holding, OJSC Samotlorneftegaz,
OJSC Syzran Refinery, PJSC Verkhnechonskneftegaz, Rosneft Trade
Limited, Rosneft Trading S.A., RN-Komsomolsky Refinery LLC, and RN-
Yuganskneftegaz LLC. In conjunction with that designation, the
Department of Commerce adds to the Entity List under this rule all
fifteen listed above, all of which are subsidiaries of Rosneft (Rosneft
was added to the Entity List on September 17, 2014 (79 FR 55612)).
D. Entity Additions Consistent With Executive Order 13685
    Six entities are added based on activities that are described in
Executive Order 13685 (79 FR 77357), Blocking Property of Certain
Persons and Prohibiting Certain Transactions with Respect to the Crimea
Region of Ukraine, issued by the President on December 19, 2014. This
Order took additional steps to address the Russian occupation of the
Crimea region of Ukraine with respect to the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13660 of March 6, 2014, and expanded in
Executive Order 13661 of March 16, 2014 and Executive Order 13662 of
March 20, 2014. In particular, Executive Order 13685 prohibited the
export, reexport, sale or supply, directly or indirectly, from the
United States or by a U.S. person, wherever located, of any goods,
services, or technology to the Crimea region of Ukraine. Under Section
10 of the Order, all agencies of the United States Government are
directed to take all appropriate measures within their authority to
carry out the provisions of the Order.
    The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control,
pursuant to Executive Order 13685 on behalf of the Secretary of the
Treasury and in consultation with the Secretary of State, has
designated the following six persons as operating in the Crimea region
of Ukraine: State Enterprise Evpatoria Sea Commercial Port, State
Enterprise Feodosia Sea Trading Port, State Shipping Company Kerch Sea
Ferry, State Enterprise Kerch Sea Commercial Port, State Enterprise
Sevastopol Sea Trading Port, and State Enterprise Yalta Sea Trading
Port. In conjunction with that designation, the Department of Commerce
adds all six of those entities to the Entity List under this rule and
imposes a license requirement for exports, reexports, or transfers (in-
country) to these blocked persons. This license requirement implements
an appropriate measure within the authority of the EAR to carry out the
provisions of Executive Order 13685.
    For the fourteen persons under eighteen entries added to the Entity
List based on activities that are described in Executive Orders 13660,
13661, or 13685, 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 persons or in which such persons 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 persons being added to the Entity List in
this rule.
    For the fifteen Russian subsidiaries of Rosneft and energy sector
entities added to the Entity List based on activities described in
Executive Order 13662, the Entity List imposes a license

requirement for the export, reexport or transfers (in-country) of all
items subject to the EAR to those companies when the exporter,
reexporter or transferor knows 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 is unable to determine whether the item will
be used in such projects. License applications for such transactions
will be reviewed with a presumption 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 that have the
potential to produce oil. This license requirement implements an
appropriate measure within the authority of BIS to carry out the
provisions of Executive Order 13662.

Clarification to the Entity List for the Crimea Region of Ukraine

     In addition to the changes described above, this final rule
revises the reference to ``Crimea (occupied)'' on the Entity List to
conform to how other references in the EAR refer to Crimea, such as
section Sec.  746.6 (Crimea region of Ukraine), footnote 8 to the
Commerce Country Chart in Supplement No. 1 to Part 738, and footnote 3
to the Country Groups in Supplement No. 1 to Part 740 of the EAR, which
all refer to Crimea as the ``Crimea region of Ukraine.'' Therefore, to
conform to those other EAR provisions, this final rule revises the
Entity List to change all references of ``Crimea (occupied)'' to
``Crimea region of Ukraine.''

Export Administration Act

    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001,
the President, through 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 7, 2015, 80 FR 48233 (August 11, 2015), has continued the Export
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act. BIS continues to carry out the provisions of the
Export Administration Act, as appropriate and to the extent permitted
by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222, as amended by Executive
Order 13637.

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.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to nor 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. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for
public comment and a delay in effective date are inapplicable because
this regulation involves a military or foreign affairs function of the
United States. (See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS implements this rule to
protect U.S. national security or foreign policy interests by
preventing items from being exported, reexported, or transferred (in
country) to the persons being added to the Entity List. If this rule
were delayed to allow for notice and comment and a delay in effective
date, then the entities being added to the Entity List by this action
would continue to be able to receive items without a license and to
conduct activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States. In addition, publishing a proposed rule
would give these parties notice of the U.S. Government's intention to
place them on the Entity List and would create an incentive for these
persons to either accelerate receiving items subject to the EAR to
conduct activities that are contrary to the national security or
foreign policy interests of the United States, and/or to take steps to
set up additional aliases, change addresses, and other measures to try
to limit the impact of the listing on the Entity List once a final rule
was published. Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed
rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this
rule. 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.
    5. The Department finds for the change described under the heading
Clarification to the Entity List for the Crimea region of Ukraine that
there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of
the Administrative Procedure Act requiring prior notice and the
opportunity for public comment because they are unnecessary. This
change included in this final rule is limited to making a conforming
change to how the Crimea region of Ukraine is referred to in the EAR.
This revision is non-substantive; therefore, providing an additional
opportunity for public comment on this correction is unnecessary.
    In addition, BIS finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in
effectiveness under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) because it will allow the
clarification to go into effect immediately, which will reduce the
potential for confusion among the public and make sure all members of
the public are aware of how BIS interprets these Crimea region of
Ukraine provisions as they relate to other EAR provisions.
