This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding twenty-three persons to the Entity List. These twenty- three persons 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 Pakistan, Singapore and South Sudan. This rule also removes one person under the destination of Ecuador and one person under the destination of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) from the Entity List. Both removals are the result of requests for removal received by BIS pursuant to the section of the EAR used for requesting removal or modification of an Entity List entry and a review of information provided in the removal requests. Lastly, this rule corrects the license requirement for twelve entities that were added under the destination of Russia as part of a recent BIS rule.

Certain Persons From the Entity List; Correction of License 
Requirements

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations 
(EAR) by adding twenty-three persons to the Entity List. These twenty-
three persons 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 Pakistan, Singapore and South Sudan. This rule also 
removes one person under the destination of Ecuador and one person 
under the destination of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) from the 
Entity List. Both removals are the result of requests for removal 
received by BIS pursuant to the section of the EAR used for requesting 
removal or modification of an Entity List entry and a review of 
information provided in the removal requests. Lastly, this rule 
corrects the license requirement for twelve entities that were added 
under the destination of Russia as part of a recent BIS rule.

DATES: This rule is effective March 22, 2018.

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) imposes additional license requirements on, and 
limits the availability of most license exceptions for, exports, 
reexports, and transfers (in-country) to those listed. 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 twenty-three 
persons to the Entity List. These twenty-three 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 twenty-three entries 
added to the Entity List consist of seven entities located in Pakistan, 
one entity in Singapore and fifteen entities in South Sudan.
    The ERC reviewed Sec.  744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity 
List) in

[[Page 12476]]

making the determination to add these twenty-three persons 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 (b)(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.
    The ERC determined that the fifteen entities being added to the 
Entity List under the destination of South Sudan--Ascom Sudd Operating 
Company; Dar Petroleum Operating Company; DietsmannNile; Greater 
Pioneer Operating Co. Ltd; Juba Petrotech Technical Services Ltd; Nile 
Delta Petroleum Company; Nile Drilling and Services Company; Nile 
Petroleum Corporation; Nyakek and Sons; Oranto Petroleum; Safinat 
Group; SIPET Engineering and Consultancy Services; South Sudan Ministry 
of Mining; South Sudan Ministry of Petroleum; and Sudd Petroleum 
Operating Co.--are government, parastatal and private entities in South 
Sudan that are involved in activities that are contrary to the foreign 
policy interests of the United States.
    In addition, the ERC determined that Mushko Logistics Pte. Ltd. 
(located under the destination of Singapore) and Mushko Electronics 
Pvt. Ltd (located under the destination of Pakistan) be added to the 
Entity List on the grounds that these two entities procured items for 
several Pakistani entities on the Entity List. The ERC has also 
determined that Solutions Engineering (located under the destination of 
Pakistan) be added to the Entity List based on their involvement in 
activities contrary to U.S. national security and foreign policy 
interests. Specifically, the ERC determined that this entity has been 
involved in the procurement of U.S.-origin items on behalf of nuclear-
related entities in Pakistan that are already listed on the Entity 
List.
    For the remaining five entities being added to the Entity List 
under the destination of Pakistan, the ERC determined that three of the 
entities, Akhtar & Munir, Proficient Engineers and Pervaiz Commercial 
Trading Co. (PCTC), be added based on their involvement in the 
proliferation of unsafeguarded nuclear activities that are contrary to 
the national security and/or foreign policy interests of the United 
States. The ERC also determined that Marine Systems Pvt. Ltd. be added 
to the Entity List for assisting Pakistani entities on the Entity List 
in circumventing the restrictions of Sec.  744.11 of the EAR by 
obtaining items subject to the EAR on behalf of those listed entities 
without the required licenses. Lastly, the ERC determined that 
Engineering and Commercial Services (ECS) be added to the Entity based 
on its involvement in supplying a Pakistani nuclear-related entity on 
the Entity List.
    Pursuant to Sec.  744.11(b) of the EAR, the ERC determined that the 
conduct of these twenty-three persons raises sufficient concern that 
prior review of exports, reexports or transfers (in-country) of all 
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 twenty-three 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 identify aliases, thereby 
assisting exporters, reexporters and transferors in identifying persons 
on the Entity List.
    This final rule adds the following twenty-three persons to the 
Entity List:

Removal From the Entity List

    This rule implements a decision of the ERC to remove the following 
two entries from the Entity List on the basis of removal requests 
received by BIS, as follows: Corporacion Nacional de 
Telecommunicaciones (CNT), located in Ecuador, and Talaat Mehmood, 
located in the U.A.E. The entry for CNT was added to the Entity List on 
June 4, 2015 (see 80 FR 31836). The entry for Talaat Mehmood was added 
to the Entity List on May 26, 2017 (see 82 FR 24245). The ERC decided 
to remove these two entries based on information received by BIS 
pursuant to Sec.  744.16 of the EAR and review conducted by the ERC.
    This final rule implements the decision to remove the following one 
entity located in Ecuador and one entity located in the U.A.E. from the 
Entity List:

Ecuador

    (1) Corporacion Nacional de Telecommunicaciones (CNT), Avenida 
Gaspar de Villaroel, Quito Ecuador; and Avda. Veintimilla, Suite 1149 y 
Amazonas, Edificio Estudio Z, Quito, Ecuador.

United Arab Emirates

    (1) Talaat Mehmood, Q-4 136 Warehouse, Sharjah Airport 
International Free (SAIF) Zone, Sharjah, UAE; and Q1-08-051/B, Sharjah 
Airport International Free (SAIF) Zone, Sharjah, UAE; and P.O. Box 
121826, Sharjah Airport International Free (SAIF) Zone, Sharjah, UAE.

Correction of License Requirements

    On February 16, 2018, BIS published a final rule, Russian 
Sanctions: Addition of Certain Entities to the Entity List (83 FR 6949) 
(the February 16 rule), which added twenty-one entities to the Entity 
List under the destinations of Georgia, Poland, and Russia. Of the 
twenty-one entities added in the February 16 rule, twelve were added 
based on activities described in Executive Order 13662 (79 FR 16169), 
Blocking Property of Additional Persons Contributing to the Situation 
in Ukraine, issued on March 20, 2014. The preamble of the February 16 
rule described the imposition of a license requirement for twelve 
Russian entities: Kaliningradnefteprodukt OOO; Kinef OOO; 
Kirishiavtoservis OOO; Lengiproneftekhim OOO; Media-Invest OOO; 
Novgorodnefteprodukt OOO; Pskovnefteprodukt OOO; SNGB AO; SO 
Tvernefteprodukt OOO; Sovkhoz Chervishevski PAO; Strakhovove 
Obshchestvo Surgutneftegaz OOO; and Surgutmebel OOO, for activities 
described in Sec.  746.5 of the EAR. Specifically, the preamble stated 
that a license is required for exports, reexports, or transfers (in-
country) of all items subject to the EAR, when the exporter, reexporter 
or transferor knows that the item will be used directly or indirectly 
in exploratinon 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. However, the February 16 rule's amendments to 
the EAR adding these twelve entities incorrectly specified in the entry 
for each entity a license requirement that read as follows: ``For all 
items subject to the EAR. (See Sec.  744.11 of the EAR).'' This final 
rule corrects the license requirement column in the entry for each of 
the twelve entities to clarify that the Entity List's license 
requirements apply to all items subject to the EAR when used in 
projects specified in Sec.  746.5 of the EAR, as stated in the February 
16 rule's preamble. The full name of each entity, along with any 
aliases, and accompanying addresses, is as follows:

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 March 22, 2018, 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 of 1979

    Although the Export Administration Act of 1979 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 15, 2017, 82 FR 39005 (Aug. 16, 2017), has 
continued the EAR in effect under the International Emergency Economic 
Powers Act (15 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). BIS continues to carry out the 
provisions of the Export Administration Act of 1979, 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 twenty-three 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 participation and a 30-day delay in effective date are 
inapplicable, because this regulation involves a military or foreign 
affairs function of the United States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS 
implementation of this rule is necessary to protect U.S. national 
security or foreign policy interests by preventing items subject to the 
EAR 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 persons 
being added to the Entity List by this action would continue to be able 
to receive items subject to the EAR 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 persons notice of the U.S. Government's intention to 
place them on the Entity List, which could create an incentive for them 
to accelerate their receipt of items subject to the EAR to conduct 
activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy 
interests of the United States, including taking steps to set up 
additional aliases, change addresses, and engaging in other measures to 
try to limit the impact of the listing on the Entity List once a final 
rule is published.
    5. For the two entities removed from the Entity List in this final 
rule, pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(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 a request for removal 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 entities 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 
two 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 to the entities removed by this rule 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 applicants whose removal has been approved by the ERC to 
receive U.S. exports

[[Page 12479]]

immediately, subject to any other potential license requirements that 
may apply under provisions of the EAR other than 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 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 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 of 1979), 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 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 
two entities from the Entity List removes requirements (the Entity-
List-based license requirement and limitation on use of license 
exceptions) on those two entities. The rule does not impose a 
requirement on any other person for these removals from the Entity 
List. Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed 
rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this 
final rule.
    6. The Department finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B) to waive the provisions of the APA regarding notice of 
proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public comment, and a 30-day 
delay in effective date for corrections made to twelve entries on the 
Entity List as part of this rule. This rule merely corrects an error 
resulting from a February 16, 2018 rule regarding the licensing 
requirement under the EAR that is applicable to items destined for or 
otherwise involving twelve entities that were added to the Entity List 
by the rule. The February 16, 2018 rule was a final rule with immediate 
effectiveness. It would be contrary to the public interest to delay 
publication of a correction and thereby exacerbate confusion on the 
part of the public as to the correct licensing requirement for 
shipments to or involving these twelve entities.
    7. 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.
