Title: Authorization to Impose License Requirements for Exports and Reexports to Entities Acting Contrary to the United States National Security or Foreign Policy Interests
Abstract: This rule revises section 744.20 to authorize the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to add to the Entity List entities that BIS has reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, are or have been involved in activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States or to those acting on behalf of such entities. With this rule, the United States government would be able to conduct prior review of proposed exports and reexports to such recipients to the degree necessary to protect its interests. BIS would be able to tailor license requirements and availability of license exceptions for exports and reexports to parties who have taken or who are taking actions that are contrary to United States national security or foreign policy interests without imposing additional license requirements that apply broadly to entire destinations or items. BIS believes that such selective application of license requirements and exceptions will provide the flexibility to deter use of items that are subject to the Export Administration Regulations in ways that are inimical to the interests of the United States with minimal costs to and disruption of legitimate trade. This rule also would provide a procedure for parties on the Entity List to request that their entries be removed or modified.
