Commerce Control List; Items Controlled for Nuclear

Nonproliferation Reasons

AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Interim rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) maintains the

Commerce Control List (CCL), which identifies those items subject to

Department of Commerce export controls. The items on the CCL that are

subject to nuclear nonproliferation controls are referred to as the

Nuclear Referral List (NRL). This interim rule amends a number of

Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) on the CCL in order to

make the NRL conform more closely with the items contained in the Annex

to the ``Guidelines for Transfers of Nuclear-Related Dual-Use

Equipment, Material, and Related Technology'' (the Annex) published by

the International Atomic Energy Agency and adhered to by the United

States and other subscribing governments. The subscribing governments

have agreed to establish export licensing procedures for the transfer

of items identified on the Annex.

This rule also establishes a new General License GNSG that permits

certain items subject to nuclear non-proliferation controls to be

exported under general license to a number of countries whose

governments have subscribed to the Annex.

DATES: This rule is effective March 9, 1994. Comments must be received

by April 8, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments (six copies) should be sent to Willard

Fisher, Office of Technology and Policy Analysis, Bureau of Export

Administration, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC

20044.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

This rule amends a number of entries on the Commerce Control List

(CCL) by revising the items that are subject to nuclear

nonproliferation controls, i.e., the Nuclear Referral List (NRL). As

more fully described in Sec. 778.2 of the EAR, NRL items are defined as

those ``that could be of significance for nuclear explosive purposes if

used for activities other than those authorized at the time of

export''. The changes made by this rule are intended to revise the NRL

to conform more closely with the items contained in the Annex to the

``Guidelines for Transfers of Nuclear-Related Dual-Use Equipment,

Material, and Related Technology'' (the Annex), as published by the

International Atomic Energy Agency in INFCIRC/254/Revision 1/Part 2.

The adherents to INFCIRC/254/Revision 1/Part 2, which includes the

Nuclear Suppliers Guidelines, have agreed to establish export licensing

procedures for the transfer of items identified in the Annex.

Sections 771.2(c)(7) and 778.3 prohibit the use of any general

license, except General License GTDA or General License G-DEST as it

applies to ECCN 0A98I, to effect the export of any commodity, software,

or technology where the exporter knows or has reason to know that the

items being exported will be used directly or indirectly in any of the

nuclear activities described in these sections. Exports of commodities

to Canada or to any country listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 773 are

excluded from this prohibition.

This interim rule revises the list of prohibited nuclear activities

contained in Sec. 771.2(c)(7) and Sec. 778.3, and the licensing factors

contained in Sec. 778.4, to be consistent with the ``Guidelines for

Transfers of Nuclear-Related Dual-Use Equipment, Material, and Related

Technology'' (the Guidelines). Section 778.3 is revised to include

prohibitions against ``nuclear explosive activities'' and

``unsafeguarded nuclear fuel-cycle activities'', as defined in the

Guidelines, and Sec. 771.2(c)(7) is revised to refer exporters to the

prohibitions in Sec. 778.3. The licensing factors in Sec. 778.4 are

revised to conform with the licensing factors contained in the export

licensing procedures required by the Guidelines.

This rule establishes an end-user certification requirement that

applies to individual validated license applications to export items

subject to nuclear non-proliferation controls. Prior to submitting an

application for such items, the exporter is required to obtain and

retain on file a statement on the importer's letterhead and signed by

the importer, or on a Form BXA-629P (Statement by Ultimate Consignee

and Purchaser), where appropriate, certifying that the items will not

be used in any of the nuclear activities described in Sec. 778.3 and

that prior written authorization will be obtained from the Office of

Export Licensing before such items are transferred or reexported,

unless the items are destined for Canada or would be eligible for

export from the United States to the new country of destination under

General License GNSG as described below.

This rule establishes a new General License GNSG that permits items

(i.e., commodities, software, and technical data) that are controlled

for nuclear non-proliferation reasons to be exported to countries whose

governments have subscribed to the Annex (NSG member countries). Not

all items controlled for nuclear nonproliferation reasons are eligible

for export to these countries. Items that are controlled for national

security reasons (i.e., items controlled by entries ending in the code

letter ``A'') are not eligible for export under General License GNSG to

Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, or Russia. Items that are subject to missile

technology controls (see Sec. 778.7) are not eligible for export to any

destination under this general license. In addition, items that are

controlled for nuclear non-proliferation reasons are no longer eligible

for export under General Licenses GFW, GCT, GLV, GTDR, or GTDU, but

must meet the eligibility requirements for General License GNSG,

instead. This change will significantly increase the validated license

requirements for items that were previously eligible for export under

General Licenses GFW or GTDR (including GTDR without written assurance,

i.e., GTDU), but will result in only a small increase in validated

license requirements for items that were previously eligible for

General License GCT. Items that are eligible for export under General

License GNSG are indicated in the GNSG paragraph for each CCL entry

that contains eligible items. Entries that contain no eligible items do

not have a GNSG paragraph.

Section 774.2 is amended to authorize permissive reexports of items

eligible for General License GNSG to, among, and from Canada and

countries eligible for General License GNSG, except reexports to

Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, or Russia of items controlled for national

security reasons and reexports to countries listed in Supplement No. 4

to part 778.

This rule adds the following countries to Supplement No. 3 to part

773 (Computer--Consignee Destinations (List B)): Bahrain, Egypt,

Hungary, Kuwait, Malawi, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the

Yemen Arab Republic. These changes are made because these countries are

parties to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

While this rule maintains nuclear nonproliferation controls on most

of the items that were previously included on the Nuclear Referral

List, there are a few significant deletions. ECCN 3A52B (previously

3A52E) is amended to revise nuclear non-proliferation controls on

oscilloscopes and transient recorders, resulting in a significant

decrease in the number of such items that remain subject to these

controls. As a result of this change, Supplement No. 4 to part 773 is

amended to remove the entry for ECCN 3A52, which described

oscilloscopes with lower performance levels that were eligible for the

distribution license procedure. Most of the oscilloscopes previously

listed in Supplement No. 4 are no longer controlled by ECCN 3A52B.

Paragraph (l) of Supplement No. 1 to part 773 is revised to remove the

reference to the oscilloscopes previously listed in Supplement No. 4,

thereby making all oscilloscopes and transient recorders that are

currently controlled by 3A52B ineligible for the special license

procedures.

This rule significantly expands the kinds of technology that are

subject to nuclear non-proliferation controls. The Nuclear Suppliers

Group has agreed to establish export licensing procedures for the

transfer of technology required for the development, production, or use

of any commodity listed on the NSG Annex. Previously, only a limited

amount of technology required a validated license for nuclear non-

proliferation reasons. The NSG member countries have agreed not to

control technology that is publicly available or that arises during or

as a result of fundamental research. Such technology continues to be

eligible for export in accordance with the requirements for General

License GTDA (see Sec. 779.3).

Only a limited amount of software is subject to nuclear

nonproliferation controls. As agreed by the member countries of the

Nuclear Suppliers Group, the only software that is subject to nuclear

nonproliferation controls is software specifically identified in the

NSG Annex.

While this rule significantly increases the validated license

requirements for certain commodities and technology, the fact that

other member countries of the Nuclear Suppliers Group have agreed to

implement equivalent export licensing procedures for these items should

limit the economic impact on U.S. exporters.

Saving Clause

Shipments of items removed from general license authorizations as a

result of this regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on

lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or en route aboard carrier

to a port of export pursuant to actual orders for export before March

23, 1994 may be exported under the previous general license provisions

up to and including April 6, 1994. Any such items not actually exported

before midnight April 6, 1994, require a validated export license in

accordance with this regulation.

Rulemaking Requirements

1. This rule was reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget

under Executive Order 12866.

2. This rule involves collections of information subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These

collections have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget

under control numbers 0694-0002, 0694-0005, 0694-0006, 0694-0010, 0607-

0018, 0694-0015, 0694-0021, 0694-0023, and 0694-0064.

3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications

sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under

Executive Order 12612.

4. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for

public comment are not required to be given for this rule by section

553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) or by any other

law, under section 3(a) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.

603(a) and 604(a)) no initial or final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

has to be or will be prepared.

5. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.

553, requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for

public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable

because this regulation involves a foreign and military affairs

function of the United States. No other law requires that a notice of

proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for

this rule.

However, because of the importance of the issues raised by these

regulations, this rule is issued in interim form and comments will be

considered in the development of final regulations. Accordingly, the

Department encourages interested persons who wish to comment to do so

at the earliest possible time to permit the fullest consideration of

their views. Comments on the contract sanctity provisions contained in

this rule are especially encouraged.

The period for submission of comments will close April 8, 1994. The

Department will consider all comments received before the close of the

comment period in developing final regulations. Comments received after

the end of the comment period will be considered if possible, but their

consideration cannot be assured. The Department will not accept public

comments accompanied by a request that a part or all of the material be

treated confidentially because of its business proprietary nature or

for any other reason. The Department will return such comments and

materials to the person submitting the comments and will not consider

them in the development of final regulations. All public comments on

these regulations will be a matter of public record and will be

available for public inspection and copying. In the interest of

accuracy and completeness, the Department requires comments in written

form. Oral comments must be followed by written memoranda, which will

also be a matter of public record and will be available for public

review and copying. Communications from agencies of the United States

Government or foreign governments will not be made available for public

inspection.

The public record concerning these regulations will be maintained

in the Bureau of Export Administration Freedom of Information Records

Inspection Facility, room 4525, Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230. Records in this

facility, including written public comments and memoranda summarizing

the substance of oral communications, may be inspected and copied in

accordance with regulations published in part 4 of title 15 of the Code

of Federal Regulations. Information about the inspection and copying of

records at the facility may be obtained from Margaret Cornejo, Bureau

of Export Administration Freedom of Information Officer, at the above

address or by calling (202) 482-5653.

3. Section 771.24 (formerly reserved) is added to read as follows:

Sec. 771.24 General License GNSG.

(a) Scope. A general license designated GNSG is established

authorizing exports to eligible countries of commodities, software, and

technology described in paragraph (c) of this section. Exports may be

made under General License GNSG only when intended for use or

consumption within the importing country, reexport among and

consumption within eligible countries, or reexport in accordance with

other provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR parts

730-799).

(b) Eligible countries. The countries that are eligible to receive

exports under this general license are Australia, Austria, Belgium,

Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, the Federal

Republic of Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan,

Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia,

the Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United

Kingdom. Canada is also a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, but

generally there is no license requirement for shipments to Canada (see

Sec. 770.3 of this subchapter).

(c) Eligible commodities, software, and technology. The

commodities, software, and technology that are eligible for export

under this General License GNSG are indicated in the GNSG paragraph

under the Requirements heading for each entry on the CCL that contains

eligible items. Entries that contain no eligible items do not have a

GNSG paragraph. Items that are subject to the missile technology

controls described in Sec. 778.7 of this subchapter are not eligible

for General License GNSG. Items controlled for national security

reasons (i.e., entries that end in the code letter ``A'') are not

eligible for shipment under General License GNSG to Bulgaria, Poland,

Romania, or Russia. All shipments under General License GNSG are

subject to the prohibitions contained in Sec. 771.2(c) except that the

prohibitions in Sec. 771.2(c)(2) do not apply to Russia for

commodities, software, and technology controlled by entries that do not

end in the code letter ``A''.

(d) Restrictions on items re-directed enroute. Items exported under

the provisions of this section may not be re-directed enroute to a new

country of destination without prior authorization from the Office of

Export Licensing, U.S. Department of Commerce, unless the new ultimate

country of destination is also a GNSG-eligible country.

(e) Export clearance--(1) Shipper's Export Declaration. When making

a shipment that contains items eligible for General License GNSG, the

exporter must place the general license symbol ``GNSG'' in the

appropriate space on the SED.

(2) Destination Control Statement. In accordance with Sec. 786.6 of

this subchapter, the exporter is required to enter an appropriate

Destination Control Statement on all commercial documents (e.g., the

bill of lading, the airway bill, and the commercial invoice) covering

an export from the United States under General License GNSG. In using

the destination control statements listed in Sec. 786.6(d) of this

subchapter, Statement Nos. 1 and 2 may be completed to show the

eligible countries listed in paragraph (b) of this section, instead of

an individual country of destination, and Statement No. 2 may be

completed to show distribution or resale in the eligible countries

listed in paragraph (b) of this section.

(f) Recordkeeping requirements. Records of transactions involving

exports under General License GNSG must be maintained in accordance

with the recordkeeping requirements of Sec. 787.13 of this subchapter.

user certificates for applications containing items subject to

nuclear non-proliferation controls (Sec. 778.2(b) of this

subchapter) that may be retained on file for Country Groups S and V,

are to be retained by the applicant consistant with the provisions

of Sec. 787.13 of this subchapter. Applicants retaining end-user

certificates on file for Country Groups S and V, in accordance with

Sec. 778.2(b) of this subchapter, must check the block marked

``Other'' in Item 2b and enter the words ``Nuclear certification on

file'' in Item 15 (Additional Information). If the certification is

PART 778--[AMENDED]

1. Sections 778.2, 778.3, and 778.4 are revised to read as follows:

Sec. 778.2 Nuclear-related commodities, software, and technology (The

Nuclear Referral List).

(a) Commodities, software, and technology controlled for nuclear

reasons. Section 309(c) of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978

required the President to publish procedures concerning export controls

on items under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce that

could be of significance for nuclear explosive purposes if used for

activities other than those authorized at the time of export. Those

entries on the Commerce Control List (Supplement No. 1 to Sec. 799.1 of

this subchapter) that have ``NP'' in the ``Reason for Control''

paragraph contain items that could be of significance for nuclear

explosive purposes and are therefor subject to validated licensing

requirements and the procedures established under this part and under

section 309(c) of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978. The

procedures established pursuant to section 309(c) are reprinted in

Supplement No. 1 to this part 778. The items on the Commerce Control

List that are subject to nuclear non-proliferation controls are

referred to as ``The Nuclear Referral List'' and include items

contained in the Annex to the ``Guidelines for Transfers of Nuclear-

Related Dual-Use Equipment, Material, and Related Technology'' (the

Annex), as published by the International Atomic Energy Agency in

INFCIRC/254/Revision 1/Part 2. The adherents to INFCIRC/254/Revision 1/

Part 2, which includes the Nuclear Suppliers Guidelines, have agreed to

establish export licensing procedures for the transfer of items

identified in the Annex. In addition, any item not on the Nuclear

Referral List that requires a validated license for reasons other than

short supply and is intended for a nuclear related end-use or end-user

is also subject to these procedures. The entries on the Commerce

Control List indicate the countries for which validated licenses are

required.

(b) End-user certification. Prior to submitting an application to

export commodities, software, and technology subject to nuclear non-

proliferation controls, the exporter must obtain and retain on file, in

accordance with the requirements of Sec. 787.13 of this subchapter, a

statement on the importer's letterhead and signed by the importer, or

on a Form BXA-629P (Statement by Ultimate Consignee and Purchaser),

when required by Sec. 775.2 of this subchapter, certifying the

following (as used in the following certification, the term

``replicas'' refers to items produced abroad based on a physical

examination of the item originally exported, matching it in all

critical design and performance parameters):

(1) The items to be exported, or replicas thereof, will not be used

in any of the activities described in Sec. 778.3; and

(2) Written authorization will be obtained from the Office of

Export Licensing, U.S. Department of Commerce, prior to reexporting the

items or replicas, unless they are destined for Canada or would be

eligible for export from the United States to the new country of

destination under General License GNSG (see Sec. 771.24 of this

subchapter).

(c) Processing of applications. Applications for the export of

commodities and technical data described in paragraph (a) of this

section will be processed in accordance with the interagency review

procedures established pursuant to section 309(c) of the Nuclear Non-

Proliferation Act reprinted as Supplement No. 1 to this part, and the

applicable provisions of the regulations in this subchapter.

Sec. 778.3 Additional validated license requirements for exports with

certain nuclear end-uses.

(a) Additional validated license requirements. In addition to the

validated license requirements for commodities and technical data

referred to in Sec. 778.2 of this subchapter, a validated license is

required for the following.

(1) Technology. A validated license is required for exports to all

destinations, including Canada, of any technical data not exportable

under the provisions of General License GTDA (except ``operation

technical data'' and ``sales technical data'' for export to and use in

Canada or the countries listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 773 of this

subchapter) where the exporter knows or has reason to know that the

data will be used directly or indirectly in the activities listed in

paragraph (b) of this section.

(2) Commodities and software. A validated license is required for

exports to all destinations, except Canada and the countries listed in

Supplement No. 2 to part 773 of this subchapter, of any commodity, or

any software not exportable under the provisions of General License

GTDA, where the exporter knows or has reason to know that the commodity

or software will be used directly or indirectly in the activities

listed in paragraph (b) of this section, whether or not the item is

specially designed or modified for such activities.

(3) Exporters informed by BXA. BXA may inform an exporter, either

individually or through amendment to the regulations in this

subchapter, that an individual validated license is required because

BXA has determined that there is an unacceptable risk of use in or

diversion to any of the activities described in paragraph (b) of this

section. The absence of any such notification does not excuse the

exporter from compliance with the validated license requirements of

this section.

(b) Activities requiring a validated license. The validated license

requirements described in paragraph (a) of this section apply to any of

the following activities:

(1) Nuclear explosive activities. Nuclear explosive activities,

including research on or development, design, manufacture,

construction, testing or maintenance of any nuclear explosive device,

or components or subsystems of such a device;12

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

\1\Commodities and technical data specifically designed or

specifically modified for use in designing or fabricating nuclear

weapons or nuclear explosive devices are subject to export licensing

or other requirements of the Office of Defense Trade Controls, U.S.

Department of State, or the licensing or other restrictions

specified in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Similarly,

commodities and technical data specifically designed or specifically

modified for use in devising, carrying out, or evaluating nuclear

weapons tests or nuclear explosions (except such items as are in

normal commercial use for other purposes) are subject to the same

requirements.

2Also see Sec. 779.5(e) of this subchapter for special

provisions relating to technical data for maritime nuclear

propulsion plants and other commodities.

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

(2) Unsafeguarded nuclear activities. Activities including research

on or development, design, manufacture, construction, operation, or

maintenance of any nuclear reactor, critical facility, facility for the

fabrication of nuclear fuel, facility for the conversion of nuclear

material from one chemical form to another, or separate storage

installation, where there is no obligation to accept International

Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards at the relevant facility or

installation, when it contains any source or special fissionable

material (regardless of whether or not it contains such material at the

time of export), or where any such obligation is not met;

(3) Safeguarded and unsafeguarded nuclear activities. Safeguarded

and unsafeguarded nuclear fuel cycle activities, including research on

or development, design, manufacture, construction, operation or

maintenance of any of the following facilities, or components for such

facilities:3

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

\3\ Such activities may also require a specific authorization

from the Secretary of Energy pursuant to section 57.b(2) of the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, as implemented by the

Department of Energy's regulations published in 10 CFR part 810.

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

(i) Facilities for the chemical processing of irradiated special

nuclear or source material;

(ii) Facilities for the production of heavy water;

(iii) Facilities for the separation of isotopes of source and

special nuclear material; or

(iv) Facilities for the fabrication of nuclear reactor fuel

containing plutonium.

Sec. 778.4 Export licensing factors.

To fulfill the considerations set forth in Sec. 778.1, the

following factors are among those used to determine what action should

be taken on individual applications subject to Secs. 778.2 and 778.3:

(a) Whether the commodities, software, or related technology to be

transferred are appropriate for the stated end-use and whether that

stated end-use is appropriate for the end-user;

(b) The significance for nuclear purposes of the particular

commodity, software, or technology;

(c) Whether the commodities, software, or technology to be exported

are to be used in research on or for the development, design,

manufacture, construction, operation, or maintenance of any

reprocessing or enrichment facility;

(d) The types of assurances or guarantees against use for nuclear

explosive purposes or proliferation given in the particular case;

(e) Whether the end-user has been engaged in clandestine or illegal

procurement activities;

(f) Whether an application for a license to export to the end-user

has previously been denied, or whether the end-user has previously

diverted items received under a general or validated license to

unauthorized activities;

(g) Whether the export would present an unacceptable risk of

diversion to a nuclear explosive activity or unsafeguarded nuclear

fuel-cycle activity described in Sec. 778.3; and

(h) The nonproliferation credentials of the importing country,

based on consideration of the following factors:

(1) Whether the importing country is a party to the Nuclear Non-

Proliferation Treaty (NPT) or to the Treaty for the Prohibition of

Nuclear Weapons in Latin America (Treaty of Tlateloloc), or to a

similar international legally-binding nuclear nonproliferation

agreement;

(2) Whether the importing country has all of its nuclear

activities, or nuclear facilities or installations that are

operational, or being designed or constructed, under International

Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards or equivalent full scope

safeguards;

(3) Whether there is an agreement for cooperation in the civil uses

of atomic energy between the U.S. and the importing country;

(4) Whether the actions, statements, and policies of the government

of the importing country are in support of nuclear nonproliferation and

whether that government is in compliance with its international

obligations in the field of nonproliferation;

(5) The degree to which the government of the importing country

cooperates in nonproliferation policy generally (e.g., willingness to

consult on international nonproliferation issues);

(6) Intelligence data on the importing country's nuclear intentions

and activities.

b. Arrangements using single or multiple detonators designed to

nearly simultaneously initiate an explosive surface (over greater than

5,000 mm\2\) from a single firing signal (with an initiation timing

spread over the surface of less than 2.5 s).

Technical Note: The detonators controlled by this ECCN 3A49B

utilize a small electrical conductor (bridge, bridgewire, or foil)

that explosively vaporizes when a fast, high-current electrical

pulse is passed through it. In nonslapper types, the exploding

conductor starts a chemical detonation in a contacting high-

explosive material such as PETN (pentaerythritoltetranitrate). In

slapper detonators, the explosive vaporization of the electrical

conductor drives a ``flyer'' or ``slapper'' across a gap, and the

impact of the slapper on an explosive starts a chemical detonation.

The slapper in some designs is driven by magnetic force. The term

``exploding foil'' detonator may refer to either an EB or a slapper-

type detonator. Also, the word ``initiator'' is sometimes used in

place of the word ``detonator.''

Note: Detonators using only primary explosives, such as lead

azide, are not controlled by this ECCN 3A49B.
