Title: ●Revisions to Certain End-User Controls Under the Export Administration Regulations; Clarification Regarding License Requirements for Transfers (In-Country) to Persons Listed on the Entity List 
Abstract: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is amending the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to make revisions to three sections of the EAR that are used by the United States Government as the basis for placing certain end-users of concern onto the Entity List (Supplement No. 4 to part 744). Prior to publication of this rule, these three sections specified license requirements for exports and reexports to these persons listed on the Entity List on the basis of one of these three sections. However, each of these sections was silent regarding whether persons could make transfers (in-country) to these end-users of concern that were placed on the Entity List on the basis of one of these three sections of the EAR. To provide clarity regarding the intended scope of these three end-user controls, this rule adds transfers (in-country) to the scope of the license requirements under each of these three end-user controls. By this rule adding transfers (in-country) to these three end-user controls described in the first paragraph of this summary, all of the end-use and end-user controls that are used as a regulatory basis for putting persons on the Entity List will now specify after the publication of this rule that the license requirements include exports, reexports and transfers (in-country). Lastly, to conform with the changes made in this rule, the rule also revises the introductory text to the Entity List to clarify the scope of the license requirements on the Entity List includes exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) to these listed persons.
