Exports to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and

Montenegro); Imposition of Foreign Policy Controls

AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Reacting to the use of excessive force by Serbian police

forces against civilians in Kosovo, as well as acts of violence by the

Kosovar Albanian extremists and fulfilling United States obligations to

implement an international arms embargo mandated by the United Nations

Security Council, the United States has banned the sale and supply of

arms and related materiel of all types to the Federal Republic of

Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). To supplement the State Department

controls on items on the U.S. Munitions List, the Bureau of Export

Administration (BXA) is designating certain items on the Commerce

Control List (CCL) that are subject to the arms embargo and

establishing a policy of denial to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

(Serbia and Montenegro) on such items. No embargoed items may be

exported to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro)

under any License Exception, including shipments of limited value

(LVS).

In addition, this rule makes certain editorial revisions to the

Export

[[Page 37768]]

Administration Regulations relating to embargoes and other special

controls.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective July 14, 1998.

Division, Bureau of Export Administration, Telephone: (202) 482-2440.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

In Resolution 1160 of March 31, 1998, the United Nations Security

Council (UNSC) directs all member states to prohibit the sale or supply

to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including Kosovo, by their

nationals or from their territories or using their flag vessels and

aircraft, of arms and related materiel of all types, such as weapons

and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, and spare parts for

the aforementioned and to prevent arming and training for terrorist

activities there. Therefore, consistent with the UNSC Resolution 1160,

the Bureau of Export Administration is imposing new license

requirements and a policy of denial on arms-related items and certain

other items on the Commerce Control List that could be used for

terrorist activities or to repress the civilian population. These items

include shotguns, ammunition, military vehicles, equipment for

production of military explosives, bulletproof vests, night vision

equipment, crime and crowd control equipment, and items that may be

used to arm and train individuals for terrorist activities. Many of

these items are already subject to license application requirements

under the Export Administration Regulations for export to the Federal

Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). However, this action

imposes export license requirements on additional items, such as water

cannons.

Executive Order 12918 of May 26, 1994 delegates authority, inter

alia, under section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act, 22

U.S.C. 287c, to take such actions as may be necessary to carry out this

arms embargo against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and

Montenegro) to the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of State,

for the types of arms and related materiel that come under their

respective jurisdictions. To carry out this delegation to the Secretary

of Commerce, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) sets forth the

policies in Sec. 746.9 of the EAR and designates certain items on the

Commerce Control List (CCL) that are subject to the arms embargo and a

policy of denial to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and

Montenegro), effective July 14, 1998. The Department of State has

maintained a denial policy against issuing licenses or other

authorizations for defense articles and services to the Federal

Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) since 1991. This action

is taken consistent with the provisions of the EAA and after

consultation with the Secretary of State. BXA submitted a foreign

policy report to the Congress indicating the imposition of new foreign

policy controls on June 30, 1998.

Although the Export Administration Act (EAA) expired on August 20,

1994, the President invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers

Act and continued in effect the EAR, and to the extent permitted by

law, the provisions of the EAA in Executive Order 12924 of August 19,

1994, as extended by the President's notices of August 15, 1995 (60 FR

42767), August 14, 1996 (61 FR 42527) and August 13, 1997 (62 FR

43629).

Rulemaking Requirements

1. This final rule has been determined to be significant for

purposes of E.O. 12866.

2. This rule involves a collection 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 number 0694-0088. Not withstanding any other provision of

law, no person is required to respond nor shall any person be subject

to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information

subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that

collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control

Number.

3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications

sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under

Executive Order 12612.

4. 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 military and foreign affairs

function of the United States (Sec. 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, 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 to be given for this rule under 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.

Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there

is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are

welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be submitted to Patricia

Muldonian, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Export Administration,

Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.

6. A new section 746.9 is added to read as follows:

Sec. 746.9 The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).

Under Resolution 1160 of March 31, 1998, the United Nations

Security Council (UNSC) directs all member states to prevent the sale

or supply to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including Kosovo, by

their nationals or from their territories or using their flag vessels

and aircraft, of arms and related materiel of all types, such as

weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment and spare parts

for the aforementioned, and to prevent the arming and training for

terrorist activities there. Executive Order 12918 of May 26, 1994 (3

CFR, 1994 Comp., p. 899) authorizes the Secretary of State and the

Secretary of Commerce, under section 5 of the United Nations

Participation Act and other authorities available to the respective

Secretaries, to take all actions necessary to implement any arms

embargo mandated by resolution of the United Nations Security Council.

(a) License requirements. Under Executive Order 12918 of May 26,

1994, and in conformity with United Nations Security Council (UNSC)

Resolution 1160 of March 31, 1998, an embargo applies to the sale or

supply to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including Kosovo, of arms

and related materiel of all types and regardless of origin, such as

weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, and spare

parts for such items. You will therefore need a license for the sale,

supply or export to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and

Montenegro) from the United States of embargoed items, as listed in

paragraphs (a)(1) (i) and (ii) of this section. You will also need a

license for the sale, supply, export or reexport to the Federal

Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) of such items by any

United States person in any foreign country or other location.

(Reexport controls imposed by this embargo apply only to reexports by

U.S. persons. Reexport controls on U.S.-origin items to the Federal

Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) set forth in other parts

of the EAR remain in effect.) You will also need a license for the use

of any U.S.-registered aircraft or vessel to supply or transport to the

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) any such items.

These requirements apply to embargoed items, regardless of origin.

(i) Crime Control and Detection Equipment as identified on the CCL

under CC Columns No. 1, 2 or 3 in the Country Chart column of the

``License Requirements'' section of the applicable ECCN.

(ii) Items described by ECCNs ending in ``018''; and 0A982, 0A984,

0A985, 0A986, 0A988, 0A989, 0B986, 0E984, 1A005, 1C998, 2A993,

6A002.a.1, a.2, a.3, b and c, 6A003.b.3 and b.4, 6E001, 6E002, and

9A991.a.

(2) Date of embargo. The licensing requirements in this section are

effective on July 14, 1998.

(b) Licensing policy. Applications for export or reexport of all

items listed in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section are

subject to a general policy of denial. Consistent with United Nations

Security Council Resolution 1160, this embargo is effective

notwithstanding the existence of any rights or obligations conferred or

imposed by any international agreement or any contract entered into or

any license or permit granted prior to July 14, 1998, except to the

extent provided in regulations, orders, directives or licenses that may

be issued in the future under Executive Order 12918 or under the EAR.

(c) Related controls. The Department of State, Office of Defense

Trade Controls, maintains related controls on arms and military

equipment under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR

parts 120-130). You should also contact the Department of the

Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control concerning any restrictions

which might apply to U.S. persons involving financial transactions with

the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).
