Title: ●Removal of Short Supply License Requirements on Exports of Crude Oil
Abstract: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR parts 730-774) to remove the short supply license requirements that, prior to the entry into force of the "Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016" (Pub. L. 114-113) on December 18, 2015, applied to exports of crude oil from the United States. Specifically, this rule removes the Commerce Control List (CCL) entry and the corresponding short supply provisions in the EAR that required a license from BIS to export crude oil from the United States. This rule also amends certain other EAR provisions to reflect the removal of these short supply license requirements. The effect of the changes described above is to remove the short supply license requirements previously applicable to crude oil, as controlled under ECCN 1C981, thereby making crude oil an EAR99 item (i.e., subject to the EAR, as described in Section 734.3(a), but no longer listed on the CCL). In this regard, note that exports of crude oil continue to require authorization from BIS to embargoed or sanctioned countries or persons, including those listed in part 744 or part 746 of the EAR, and to persons subject to a denial of export privileges, as described in part 764 of the EAR.
