Title: ●Amendment to Existing Validated End-User Authorization in the People's Republic of China: Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation 
Abstract: In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to remove one facility from the list of Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) facilities authorized to receive certain items in the People's Republic of China (PRC) under SMIC's validated end-user authorization. Specifically, in this rule, BIS removes Cension Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (Cension) from SMIC's list of approved facilities in the PRC due to a material change at SMIC. This amendment is not the result of prohibited activities by Cension or by SMIC. This amendment does not establish a new license requirement or a more restrictive licensing policy for exports, reexports or transfers of items to the facility identified in this rule; license requirements set forth in the EAR continue to apply to this facility.
