This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding eight persons under eight entries to the Entity List. The eight 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. These eight persons will be listed on the Entity List under the destination of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). This final rule also removes nine persons from the Entity List, as the result of a request for removal submitted by these persons, a review of information provided in the removal request in accordance with the procedure for requesting removal or modification of an Entity List entity and further review conducted by the End-User Review Committee (ERC). Finally, this rule is also revising six existing entries in the Entity List. One entry under Iran is modified to correct the entry by updating the Federal Register citation. Five entries on the Entity List under the destinations of Armenia, Greece, India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom (U.K.) are modified to reflect a removal from the Entity List.

to the Entity List; and Removal of Certain Persons From the Entity List

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) 
by adding eight persons under eight entries to the Entity List. The 
eight persons who are added to the Entity List have been determined by 
the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national

[[Page 8826]]

security or foreign policy interests of the United States. These eight 
persons will be listed on the Entity List under the destination of the 
United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.). This final rule also removes nine 
persons from the Entity List, as the result of a request for removal 
submitted by these persons, a review of information provided in the 
removal request in accordance with the procedure for requesting removal 
or modification of an Entity List entity and further review conducted 
by the End-User Review Committee (ERC). Finally, this rule is also 
revising six existing entries in the Entity List. One entry under Iran 
is modified to correct the entry by updating the Federal Register 
citation. Five entries on the Entity List under the destinations of 
Armenia, Greece, India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom (U.K.) are 
modified to reflect a removal from the Entity List.

DATES: This rule is effective February 23, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to Part 744) identifies entities 
and other persons reasonably believed to be involved in or to 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. The EAR imposes additional license 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 or other person 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 and 
other persons on 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.
    The 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 Entry List by majority vote and 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 eight persons 
under eight entries to the Entity List. These eight 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 eight entries added to 
the entity list are located in the U.A.E.
    The ERC reviewed Sec.  744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity 
List) in making the determination to add these eight persons to the 
Entity List. Under that paragraph, persons and those acting on behalf 
of such persons may be added to the Entity List if 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. Paragraphs 
(b)(1) through (b)(5) of Sec.  744.11 include an illustrative list of 
activities that could be contrary to the national security or foreign 
policy interests of the United States. Pursuant to Sec.  744.11 of the 
EAR, the ERC determined that the eight entities, located in the 
destination of the U.A.E., be added to the Entity List for actions 
contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the 
United States.
    Specifically, the ERC determined that two entities located in the 
U.A.E., Euro Vision Technology LLC and Noun Nasreddine, should be be 
added to the Entity List on the basis of their attempts to procure 
U.S.-origin technology on behalf of designated persons, contrary to the 
national security and foreign policy interests of the United States. 
Specifically, these persons in the U.A.E. have been involved in 
supplying U.S.-origin items to persons designated by the Secretary of 
State as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and present a risk of 
supplying U.S.-origin items to embargoed destinations without the 
required authorizations. An additional two entities located in the 
U.A.E., Dow Technology and Hassan Dow, are also being added to the 
Entity List on the basis of their procurements of U.S.-origin 
technology on behalf of persons that have been involved in supplying 
U.S.-origin items to persons designated by the Secretary of State as 
FTOs.
    Pursuant to Sec.  744.11 of the EAR, the ERC determined that the 
conduct of these four persons raises sufficient concern that prior 
review of exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) of items subject 
to the EAR involving these persons, 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.
    In addition, the ERC has determined that for four other entities 
located in the U.A.E., FWS Trading FZE, Rainbow General Trading 
Company, Hamed Kianynejad and Mojtaba Alikhani, there is reasonable 
cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that they 
prevented the successful accomplishment of end-use checks by BIS 
officials. Prevention of an end-use check is one of the criteria for 
addition to the Entity List in the illustrative list of activities 
contrary to U.S. national security and foreign policy found in Sec.  
744.11 of the EAR.
    Pursuant to Sec.  744.11 (b)(4) of the EAR, the ERC determined that 
the conduct of these four persons (FWS Trading, Rainbow General, 
Kianynejad and Alikhani) raises sufficient concern that prior review of 
exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) of items subject to the 
EAR involving these persons, 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 eight persons 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 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. The acronym ``a.k.a.'' (also known as) is 
used in entries on the Entity List to help exporters, reexporters and 
transferors better identify listed persons on the Entity List.
    This final rule adds the following eight persons under eight 
entries to the Entity List:

United Arab Emirates

(1) Dow Technology,
    W-38 Musalla Tower, Dubai, U.A.E.; and P.O. Box 5780, Dubai, 
U.A.E.;

[[Page 8827]]

(2) Euro Vision Technology LLC,
    #701 Damas Tower, 702 Al Maktoum St, Dubai, U.A.E.; and 701 Attar 
Tower, Maktoum St, Dubai, U.A.E.; and City Tower, Al Maktoum St. Office 
No. 701, Dubai U.A.E.; and P.O. Box 40595, Dubai, U.A.E.; and Warehouse

    --N.A. Nasreddine.
    #701 Damas Tower, 702 Al Maktoum St, Dubai, U.A.E.; and 701 Attar 
Tower, Maktoum St, Dubai, U.A.E.; and City Tower, Al Maktoum St. Office 
No. 701, Dubai U.A.E.; and P.O. Box 40595, Dubai, U.A.E.; and Warehouse 
No. 8, Plot No. 238, Rashidiya, Dubai, U.A.E.; and
(8) Rainbow General Trading Company,
    City Tower 2, 20th Floor, Office #2005, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, 
U.A.E.

Removals From the Entity List

    This rule implements a decision of the ERC to remove the following 
nine persons from the Entity List based on a removal request submitted 
by Indira, Jaideep and Nitin Mirchandani and their six companies: 
Agneet Sky Limited, located in Ireland; and Aeolus FZE, Aerospace 
Company FZE, Aircon Beibars FZE, Group Sky One, and Veteran Avia LLC, 
all located in the U.A.E. These entities were added to the Entity List 
on September 28, 2014 (79 FR 55999) pursuant to Sec.  744.11 (b)(5) of 
the EAR. Jaideep Mirchandani and his family members, Indira Mirchandani 
and Nitin Mirchandani, and the entities owned, operated or controlled 
by them, were found to be involved in activities supporting the Syrian 
regime and attempting to export a U.S.-origin aircraft to Syria that 
would be used to further support the Syrian regime. The ERC's decision 
to remove these nine persons from the Entity List was based on 
information provided by the entities in their appeal request pursuant 
to Sec.  744.16 (Procedure for requesting removal or modification of an 
Entity List entity) and further review conducted by the ERC.
    In accordance with Sec.  744.16(c), the Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Export Administration has sent written notification informing these 
persons of the ERC's decision.
    This final rule implements the decision to remove the following 
nine entities located in Ireland and the U.A.E. from the Entity List.

Ireland

(1) Agneet Sky Limited,
    12, Fitzwilliam Place Dublin, 2 Ireland.

United Arab Emirates

(1) Aeolus FZE, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Aeolus Air Group.
    Sharjah Airport Saif Zone, P.O. Box 120435 Sharjah, U.A.E.;
(2) Aerospace Company FZE, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Aerospace Consortium.
    18, Fujairah Free Zone, P.O. Box 1729, Fujairah, U.A.E.; and 
Fujairah Free Zone, P.O. Box 7168, Fujairah, U.A.E.;
(3) Aircon Beibars FZE,
    Plot of Land L4--03, 04, 05, 06, P.O. Box 121095, Sharjah, U.A.E.;
(4) Indira Mirchandani,
    Town House 1033 Uptown Mirdif, Mirdif, Algeria Street, Dubai, 
U.A.E.;
(5) Jaideep Mirchandani, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Jaidip Mirchandani.
    Villa No. W10 Emirates Hills, Dubai, U.A.E.;
(6) Nitin Mirchandani, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Nithin Merchandani.
    H2601 Executive Towers, Business Bay, Dubai, U.A.E.;
(7) Group Sky One, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Sky One FZE.
    Q4 76, Sharjah Airport Free Zone, Sharjah, U.A.E., and Executive 
Desk, Q1-05, 030/C, P.O. Box 122849, Sharjah, U.A.E.; and
(8) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    Sharjah SAIF Zone, Sharjah, U.A.E.; and Y2-307, Saif Zone, Sharjah 
International Airport, P.O. Box 122598, Sharjah, U.A.E. (See also 
addresses under Armenia, Greece, India, Pakistan, and U.K., which have 
been revised to reflect this removal).
    The removal of the nine persons referenced above, which was 
approved by the ERC, eliminates the existing license requirements in 
Supplement No. 4 to part 744 for exports, reexports and transfers (in-
country) to these entities. However, the removal of these nine persons 
from the Entity List does not relieve persons of other obligations 
under part 744 of the EAR or under other parts of the EAR. Neither the 
removal of an entity from the Entity List nor the removal of Entity 
List-based license requirements relieves persons of their obligations 
under General Prohibition 5 in Sec.  736.2(b)(5) of the EAR which 
provides that, ``you may not, without a license, knowingly export or 
reexport any item subject to the EAR to an end-user or end-use that is 
prohibited by part 744 of the EAR.'' Additionally, these removals do 
not relieve persons of their obligation to apply for export, reexport 
or in-country transfer licenses required by other provisions of the 
EAR. BIS strongly urges the use of Supplement No. 3 to part 732 of the 
EAR, ``BIS's `Know Your Customer' Guidance and Red Flags,'' when 
persons are involved in transactions that are subject to the EAR.

Corrections and Conforming Changes to the Entity List

    This final rule implements corrections and conforming changes for 
six existing entries on the Entity List. Under the destination of Iran, 
the entry for Simin Neda Industrial and Electrical Parts is amended by 
correcting the Federal Register citation. Under the destinations of 
Armenia, Greece, India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom, the five 
entries for the entity Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., Veteran Airline, are 
amended to reflect the removal of the Veteran Avia LLC entity located 
in the U.A.E.
    Correction for Federal Register citation. The original citation for 
the final rule that added Simin Neda Industrial and Electrical Parts to 
the Entity list was erroneously listed as 72 FR 38008, 7/12/07 in the 
following rule: Addition of Certain Persons to the Entity List; and 
Implementation of Entity List Annual Review Changes, April 25, 2012 (72 
FR 24590). Simin Neda Industrial and Electrical Parts was added to the 
Entity List in the following rule: Addition of Certain Persons to the 
Entity List; Removal of General Order From the Export Administration 
Regulations (EAR), September 22, 2008 (73 FR 54507). This final rule 
corrects the original Federal Register citiation for this entity to 
correctly reference the Federal Register citation for the September 22, 
2008 final rule. This final rule does not make any other changes to 
this Iranian entity. The entity name remains the same, the license

[[Page 8828]]

requirement remains for all items subject to the EAR, and the license 
application review policy remains a presumption of denial.
    Conforming changes for an approved removal. This final rule revises 
five entries in the in the Entity List for the entity Veteran Avia LLC 
to remove all references to the U.A.E. location of Veteran Avia LLC. As 
described above, the U.A.E. location of Veteran LLC was approved for 
removal from the Entity List. Therefore, this final rule makes 
conforming changes to the remaining five entries for the entity Veteran 
Avia LLC to remove the cross reference to the U.A.E. This final rule 
does not make any other changes to these five entries. The license 
requirement remains for all items subject to the EAR, and the license 
application review policy remains a presumption of denial.
    This final rule makes the following revisions to six entries on the 
Entity List:

Armenia

(1) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    64, Baghramyam Avenue, Apt 16, Yerevan 0033, Armenia; and 1 Eervand 
Kochari Street Room 1, 375070 Yerevan, Armenia (See also addresses 
under Greece, India, Pakistan, and U.K.).

Greece

(1) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    24, A. Koumbi Street, Markopoulo 190 03, Attika, Greece (See also 
addresses under Armenia, India, Pakistan, and U.K.).

India

(1) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:

Import Cargo, IGI Aiport Terminal--II, New Delhi 110037, India; and 
25B, Camac Street 3E, Camac Court Kolkatta, 700016, India; and Ali's 
Chamber #202, 2nd Floor Sahar Cargo Complex Andheri East Mumbai, 
400099, India (See also addresses under Armenia, Greece, Pakistan, and 
U.K.).

Iran

(1) Simin Neda Industrial and Electrical Parts, a.k.a., the following 
alias:
    --TTSN.
    No. 22, Second Floor, Amjad Bldg., Jomhoori Ave., Tehran, Iran.

Pakistan

(1) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    Room No. 1, ALC Building, PIA Cargo Complex Jiap, Karachi, Pakistan 
(See also addresses under Armenia, Greece, India, and U.K.).

United Kingdom

(1) Veteran Avia LLC, a.k.a., the following one alias:
    --Veteran Airline.
    1 Beckett Place, South Hamptonshire, London, U.K. (See also 
addresses under Armenia, Greece, India, and Pakistan).

Savings Clause

    Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception 
or export or reexport without a license (NLR) as a result of this 
regulatory action that were en route aboard a carrier to a port of 
export or reexport, on February 23, 2016 pursuant to actual orders for 
export or reexport to a foreign destination, may proceed to that 
destination under the previous eligibility for a License Exception or 
export or reexport without a license (NLR).

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 protected], or by fax to (202) 395-7285.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications 
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. For the eight persons added to the Entity List in this final 
rule, 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, 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

[[Page 8829]]

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. For the nine removals from the Entity List in this final rule, 
pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), 
BIS finds good cause to waive requirements that this rule be subject to 
notice and the opportunity for public comment because it would be 
contrary to the public interest.
    In determining whether to grant removal requests from the Entity 
List, a committee of U.S. Government agencies (the End-User Review 
Committee (ERC)) evaluates information about and commitments made by 
listed persons requesting removal from the Entity List, the nature and 
terms of which are set forth in 15 CFR part 744, Supplement No. 5, as 
noted in 15 CFR 744.16(b). The information, commitments, and criteria 
for this extensive review were all established through the notice of 
proposed rulemaking and public comment process (72 FR 31005 (June 5, 
2007) (proposed rule), and 73 FR 49311 (August 21, 2008) (final rule)). 
These nine removals have been made within the established regulatory 
framework of the Entity List. If the rule were to be delayed to allow 
for public comment, U.S. exporters may face unnecessary economic losses 
as they turn away potential sales because the customer remained a 
listed person on the Entity List even after the ERC approved the 
removal pursuant to the rule published at 73 FR 49311 on August 21, 
2008. By publishing without prior notice and comment, BIS allows the 
applicant to receive U.S. exports immediately because the applicant 
already has received approval by the ERC pursuant to 15 CFR part 744, 
Supplement No. 5, as noted in 15 CFR 744.16(b).
    The removals from the Entity List granted by the ERC involve 
interagency deliberation and result from review of public and non-
public sources, including sensitive law enforcement information and 
classified information, and the measurement of such information against 
the Entity List removal criteria. This information is extensively 
reviewed according to the criteria for evaluating removal requests from 
the Entity List, as set out in 15 CFR part 744, Supplement No. 5 and 15 
CFR 744.16(b). For reasons of national security, BIS is not at liberty 
to provide to the public detailed information on which the ERC relied 
to make the decisions to remove these nine entities. In addition, the 
information included in the removal request is information exchanged 
between the applicant and the ERC, which by law (section 12(c) of the 
Export Administration Act), BIS is restricted from sharing with the 
public. Moreover, removal requests from the Entity List contain 
confidential business information, which is necessary for the extensive 
review conducted by the U.S. Government in assessing such removal 
requests.
    Section 553(d) of the APA generally provides that rules may not 
take effect earlier than thirty (30) days after they are published in 
the Federal Register. BIS finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in 
effectiveness under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1) because this rule is a 
substantive rule which relieves a restriction. This rule's removal of 
nine persons from the Entity List removes a requirement (the Entity-
List-based license requirement and limitation on use of license 
exceptions) on these nine persons being removed from the Entity List. 
The rule does not impose a requirement on any other person for these 
nine removals from the Entity List.
    In addition, the Department finds that there is good cause under 5 
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative 
Procedure Act (APA) requiring prior notice and the opportunity for 
public comment for the six corrections and conforming changes included 
in this rule because they are either unnecessary or contrary to the 
public interest. The following six corrections and conforming changes 
are non-substantive or are limited to ensure consistency with a past 
rulemaking, and thus prior notice and the opportunity for public 
comment is unnecessary. One correction is limited to correcting the 
Federal Register citation to ensure consistency with a past rulemaking. 
The other five conforming changes are limited to making a conforming 
change to reflect the removal of the Veteran Avia LLC entity located in 
the U.A.E. These five conforming changes are needed to correct the 
cross reference parenthetical phrase included in each of these five 
entries.
    No other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an 
opportunity for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a 
notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are 
not required 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. As a result, no final regulatory flexibility 
analysis is required and none has been prepared.
