(c) Related persons. A temporary denial order may be made
applicable to related persons in accordance with Sec. 766.23 of this
part.
(d) Renewal. (1) If, no later than 20 days before the expiration
date of a temporary denial order, BXA believes that renewal of the
denial order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent
violation, BXA may file a written request setting forth the basis for
its belief, including any additional or changed circumstances, asking
that the Assistant Secretary renew the temporary denial order, with
modifications, if any are appropriate, for an additional period not
exceeding 180 days. BXA's request shall be delivered to the respondent,
or any agent designated for this purpose, in accordance with
Sec. 766.5(b) of this part, which will constitute notice of the renewal
application.
(2) Non-resident respondents. To facilitate timely notice of
renewal requests, a respondent not a resident of the United States may
designate a local agent for this purpose and provide written
notification of such designation to BXA in the manner set forth in
Sec. 766.5(b) of this part.
(3) Hearing. (i) A respondent may oppose renewal of a temporary
denial order by filing with the Assistant Secretary a written
submission, supported by appropriate evidence, to be received not later
than seven days before the expiration date of such order. For good
cause shown, the Assistant Secretary may consider submissions received
not later than five days before the expiration date. The Assistant
Secretary ordinarily will not allow discovery; however, for good cause
shown in respondent's submission, he/she may allow the parties to take
limited discovery, consisting of a request for production of documents.
If requested by the respondent in the written submission, the Assistant
Secretary shall hold a hearing on the renewal application. The hearing
shall be on the record and ordinarily will consist only of oral
argument. The only issue to be considered on BXA's request for renewal
is whether the temporary denial order should be continued to prevent an
imminent violation as defined herein.
(ii) Any person designated as a related person may not oppose
issuance or renewal of the temporary denial order, but may file an
appeal in accordance with Sec. 766.2(3)(c) of this part.
(iii) If no written opposition to BXA's renewal request is received
within the specified time, the Assistant Secretary may issue the order
renewing the temporary denial order without a hearing.
(4) A temporary denial order may be renewed more than once.
(e) Appeals. (1) Filing. (i) A respondent may, at any time, file an
appeal of the initial or renewed temporary denial order with the
administrative law judge.
(ii) The filing of an appeal shall stay neither the effectiveness
of the temporary denial order nor any application for renewal, nor will
it operate to bar the Assistant Secretary's consideration of any
renewal application.
(2) Grounds. A respondent may appeal on the grounds that the
finding that the order is necessary in the public interest to prevent
an imminent violation is unsupported.
(3) Appeal procedure. A full written statement in support of the
appeal must be filed with the appeal together with appropriate
evidence, and be simultaneously served on BXA, which shall have seven
days from receipt to file a reply. Service on the administrative law
judge shall be addressed to the Office of the Administrative Law Judge,
U.S. Department of Commerce, Room H-6716, 14th Street and Constitution
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230. Service on BXA shall be as set
forth in Sec. 766.5(b) of this part. The administrative law judge
normally will not hold hearings or entertain oral argument on appeals.
(4) Recommended Decision. Within 10 working days after an appeal is
filed, the administrative law judge shall submit a recommended decision
to the Under Secretary, and serve copies on the parties, recommending
whether the issuance or the renewal of the temporary denial order
should be affirmed, modified or vacated.
(5) Final decision. Within five working days after receipt of the
recommended decision, the Under Secretary shall issue a written order
accepting, rejecting or modifying the recommended decision. Because of
the time constraints, the Under Secretary's review will ordinarily be
limited to the written record for decision, including the transcript of
any hearing. The issuance or renewal of the temporary denial order
shall be affirmed only if there is reason to believe that the temporary
denial order is required in the public interest to prevent an imminent
violation of the EAA, the EAR, or any order, license or other
authorization issued under the EAA. The Under Secretary's written order
is final and is not subject to judicial review, except as provided in
paragraph (g) of this section.
(f) Delivery. A copy of any temporary denial order issued or
renewed and any final decision on appeal shall be published in the
Federal Register and shall be delivered to BXA and to the respondent,
or any agent designated for this purpose, and to any related person in
the same manner as provided in Sec. 766.5 of this part for filing for
papers other than a charging letter.
(g) Judicial review. A respondent temporarily denied export
privileges by order of the Under Secretary may appeal to the United
States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia pursuant to 50
U.S.C. app. Sec. 2412(d)(3).
Sec. 766.25 Administrative action denying permission to apply for or
use export licenses.
(a) General. The Director of the Office of Exporter Services, in
consultation with the Director of the Office of Export Enforcement, may
deny permission to apply for or use any license, including any License
Exception, to any person who has been convicted of a violation of the
EAA, the EAR, or any order, license or authorization issued thereunder;
any regulation, license or order issued under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706); 18 U.S.C. 793, 794
or 798; section 4(b) of the Internal Security Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C.
783(b)), or section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778).
(b) Procedure. Upon notification that a person has been convicted
of a violation of one or more of the provisions specified in paragraph
(a) of this section, the Director of the Office of Exporter Services,
in consultation with the Director of the Office of Export Enforcement,
will determine whether to deny permission to apply for or use any
export license, including any License Exception, to any such person.
The Director of the Office of Exporter Services will notify each person
denied under this section by letter stating that permission to apply
for or use export licenses has been denied.
(c) Criteria. In determining whether and for how long to deny U.S.
export privileges to a person previously convicted of one or more of
the statutes set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, the Director
of the Office of Exporter Services may take into consideration any
relevant information, including, but not limited to, the seriousness of
the offense involved in the criminal prosecution, the nature and
duration of the criminal sanctions imposed, and whether the person has
undertaken any corrective measures.
(d) Duration. Any denial of permission to apply for or use export
[[Page 12915]]
licenses, including any License Exception, under this section shall not
exceed 10 years from the date of the conviction of the person who is
subject to the denial.
(e) Effect. Any person denied permission to apply for and use
licenses under this section will be considered a ``person denied export
privileges'' for purposes of Sec. 736.2(b)(4) (General Prohibition 4--
Engage in actions prohibited by a denial order) and Sec. 764.2(k) of
the EAR.
(f) Publication. The name and address(es) of any person denied
permission to apply for or use export licenses under this section will
be published as described in Supplement No. 2 to part 764 of the EAR,
noting that such action was taken pursuant to this section and section
11(h) of the EAA.
(g) Appeal. An appeal of an action under this section will be
pursuant to part 756 of the EAR.
(h) Applicability to related person. The Director of the Office of
Exporter Services, in consultation with the Director of the Office of
Export Enforcement, may take action in accordance with Sec. 766.23 of
this part to make applicable to related persons an order that is being
sought or that has been issued under this section.

Procedures
Authority: 50 U.S.C. app. 2401 et seq.; 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.;
E.O. 12924, 3 CFR, 1994 Comp., p. 917; Notice of August 15, 1995 (60
FR 42767, August 17, 1995).
Sec. 768.1 Introduction.
In this part, references to the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR) are references to 15 CFR chapter VII, subchapter C.
(a) Authority. Pursuant to sections 5(f) and 5(h) of the Export
Administration Act (EAA), the Under Secretary of Commerce for Export
Administration directs the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) in
gathering and analyzing all the evidence necessary for the Secretary to
determine foreign availability.
(b) Scope. This part applies only to the extent that items are
controlled for national security purposes.
(c) Types of programs. There are two general programs of foreign
availability:
(1) Foreign availability to controlled countries. In this category
are denied license assessments (see Secs. 768.4(b) and 768.7 of this
part) and decontrol assessments (see Secs. 768.4(c) and 768.7 of this
part).
(2) Foreign availability to non-controlled countries. In this
category are denied license assessments, decontrol assessments, and
evaluations of eligibility for expedited licensing (see Sec. 768.8 of
this part).
(d) Definitions. The following are definitions of terms used in
this part 768:
Allegation. See foreign availability submission.
Assessment. An evidentiary analysis that BXA conducts concerning
the foreign availability of a given item based on the assessment
criteria, data gathered by BXA, and the data and recommendations
submitted by the Departments of Defense and State and other relevant
departments and agencies, TAC committees, and industry.
Assessment criteria. Statutorily established criteria that must be
assessed for the Secretary to make a determination with respect to
foreign availability. They are, available-in-fact, from a non-U.S.
source, in sufficient quantity so as to render the control ineffective,
and of comparable quality. (See Sec. 768.6 of this part).
Available-in-fact. An item is available-in-fact to a country if it
is produced within the country or if it may be obtained by that country
from a third country. Ordinarily, items will not be considered
available-in-fact to non-controlled countries if the items are
available only under a validated national security license or a
comparable authorization from a country that maintains export controls
on such items cooperatively with the United States.
Claimant. Any party who makes a foreign availability submission,
excluding TACs.
Comparable quality. An item is of comparable quality to an item
controlled under the EAR if it possesses the characteristics specified
in the Commerce Control List (CCL) for that item and is alike in key
characteristics that include, but are not limited to: (1) Function; (2)
technological approach; (3) performance thresholds; (4) maintainability
and service life; and (5) any other attribute relevant to the purpose
for which the control was placed on the item.
Controlled countries. Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus,
Bulgaria, Cambodia, Cuba, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan,
Laos, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, North Korea, Romania,
Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and the
People's Republic of China.
Decontrol. Removal of license requirements under the EAR.
Decontrol assessment. An assessment of the foreign availability of
an item to a country or countries for purposes of determining whether
decontrol is warranted. Such assessments may be conducted after BXA
receives a foreign availability submission or a TAC certification, or
by the Secretary's own initiative.
Denied license assessment. A foreign availability assessment
conducted as a result of a claimant's allegation of foreign
availability for an item (or items) that BXA has denied or has issued a
letter of intent to deny a license. If the Secretary determines that
foreign availability exists, BXA's approval of a license will be
limited to the items, countries, and quantities in the allegation.
Determination. The Secretary's decision that foreign availability
within the meaning of the EAA does or does not exist. (See Sec. 768.7
of this part).
Expedited licensing procedure eligibility evaluation. An evaluation
that BXA initiates for the purpose of determining whether an item is
eligible for the expedited licensing procedure. (See Sec. 768.8 of this
part).
Expedited licensing procedures. Under expedited licensing
procedures, BXA reviews and processes a license application for the
export of an eligible item to a non-controlled country within statutory
time limits. Licenses are deemed approved unless BXA denies within the
statutory time limits (See Sec. 768.8 of this part).
Foreign availability submission (FAS). An allegation of foreign
availability a claimant makes, supported by reasonable evidence, and
submits to BXA. (See Sec. 768.5 of this part).
Item. Any commodity, software, or technology.
Items eligible for non-controlled country expedited licensing
procedures. The items described in Supplement No. 2 to this part 768
are eligible for the
[[Page 12916]]
expedited license procedures (See Sec. 768.8 of this part).
National Security Override (NSO). A Presidential decision to
maintain export controls on an item notwithstanding its foreign
availability as determined under the EAA. The President's decision is
based on his/her determination that the absence of the controls would
prove detrimental to the national security of the United States. Once
the President makes such a decision, the President must actively pursue
negotiations to eliminate foreign availability with the governments of
the sources of foreign availability. (See Sec. 768.7 of this part).
Non-controlled countries. Any country not defined as a controlled
country by this section.
Non-U.S. source/foreign source. A person located outside the
jurisdiction of the United States (as defined in part 772 of the EAR).
Reasonable evidence. Relevant information that is credible.
Reliable evidence. Relevant information that is credible and
dependable.
Secretary. As used in this part, the Secretary refers to the
Secretary of Commerce or his/her designee.
Similar quality. An item is of similar quality to an item that is
controlled under the EAR if it is substantially alike in key
characteristics that may include, but are not limited to: (1) Function;
(2) technological approach; (3) performance thresholds; (4)
maintainability and service life; and (5) any other attribute relevant
to the purpose for which the control was placed on the item.
Sufficient quantity. The amount of an item that would render the
U.S. export control, or the denial of the license in question,
ineffective in achieving its purpose. For a controlled country, it is
the quantity that meets the military needs of that country so that U.S.
exports of the item to that country would not make a significant
contribution to its military potential.
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). A Committee created under
section 5(h) of the EAA that advises and assists the Secretary of
Commerce, the Secretary of Defense, and any other department, agency,
or official of the Government of the United States to which the
President delegates authority under the EAA on export control matters
related to specific areas of controlled items.
TAC certification. A statement that a TAC submits to BXA, supported
by reasonable evidence, documented as in a FAS, that foreign
availability to a controlled country exists for an item that falls
within the TAC's area of technical expertise.
Sec. 768.2 Foreign availability described.
(a) Foreign availability. Foreign availability exists when the
Secretary determines that an item is comparable in quality to an item
subject to U.S. national security export controls, and is available-in-
fact to a country, from a non-U.S. source, in sufficient quantities to
render the U.S. export control of that item or the denial of a license
ineffective. For a controlled country, such control or denial is
``ineffective'' when maintaining such control or denying a specific
license would not restrict the availability of items that would make a
significant contribution to the military potential of the controlled
country or combination of countries detrimental to the national
security of the United States (see sections 5(a) and 3(2)(A) of the
EAA.)
(b) Types of foreign availability. There are two types of foreign
availability:
(1) Foreign availability to a controlled country; and
(2) Foreign availability to a non-controlled country.
(Note to paragraph (b) of this section: See Sec. 768.7 of this part
for delineation of the foreign availability assessment procedures,
and Sec. 768.6 of this part for the criteria used in determining
foreign availability)
Sec. 768.3 Foreign availability assessment.
(a) Foreign availability assessment. A foreign availability
assessment is an evidentiary analysis that BXA conducts to assess the
foreign availability of a given item according to the assessment
criteria, based on data submitted by a claimant, the data gathered by
BXA, and the data and recommendations submitted by the Departments of
Defense and State and other relevant departments and agencies, TAC
committees, and industry. BXA uses the results of the analysis in
formulating its recommendation to the Secretary on whether foreign
availability exists for a given item. If the Secretary determines that
foreign availability exists, the Secretary will decontrol the item for
national security reasons or approve the license in question if there
is no foreign policy reason to deny the license, unless the President
exercises a National Security Override (see Sec. 768.7 of this part).
(b) Types of assessments. There are two types of foreign
availability assessments:
(1) Denied license assessment; and
(2) Decontrol assessment.
(c) Expedited licensing procedures. See Sec. 768.8 of this part for
the evaluation of eligibility of an item for the expedited licensing
procedures.
Sec. 768.4 Initiation of an assessment.
(a) Assessment request. To initiate an assessment, each claimant or
TAC must submit a FAS or a TAC Certification to BXA. TACs are
authorized to certify foreign availability only to controlled
countries. Claimants can allege foreign availability for either
controlled or non-controlled countries.
(b) Denied license assessment. A claimant whose license application
BXA has denied, or for which it has issued a letter of intent to deny
on national security grounds, may request that BXA initiate a denied
license assessment by submitting a Foreign Availability Submission
(FAS) within 90 days after denial of the license. As part of its
submission, the claimant must request that the specified license
application be approved on the grounds of foreign availability. The
evidence must relate to the particular export as described on the
license application and to the alleged comparable item. If foreign
availability is found, the Secretary will approve the license for the
specific items, countries, and quantities listed on the application.
The denied license assessment procedure, however, is not intended to
result in the removal of the U.S. export control on an item by
incrementally providing a country with amounts that, taken together,
would constitute a sufficient quantity of an item. The Secretary will
not approve on foreign availability grounds a denied license if the
approval of such license would itself render the U.S. export control
ineffective in achieving its purpose. In the case of a positive
determination, the Secretary will determine whether a decontrol
assessment is warranted. If so, then BXA will initiate a decontrol
assessment.
(c) Decontrol assessment. (1) Any claimant may at any time request
that BXA initiate a decontrol assessment by a FAS to BXA alleging
foreign availability to any country or countries.
(2) A TAC may request that BXA initiate a decontrol assessment at
any time by submitting a TAC Certification to BXA that there is foreign
availability to a controlled country for items that fall within the
area of the TAC's technical expertise.
(3) The Secretary, on his/her own initiative, may initiate a
decontrol assessment.
(d) BXA mailing address. All foreign availability submissions and
TAC certifications should be submitted to: Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Export Administration, 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW, Room 3877, Washington, DC 20230.
[[Page 12917]]
Sec. 768.5 Contents of foreign availability submissions and Technical
Advisory Committee certifications.
(a) All foreign availability submissions must contain, in addition
to information on product or technology alleged to be available from
foreign sources, at least:
(1) The name of the claimant;
(2) The claimant's mailing and business address;
(3) The claimant's telephone number; and
(4) A contact point and telephone number.
(b) Foreign availability submissions and TAC certifications should
contain as much evidence as is available to support the claim,
including, but not limited to:
(1) Product names and model designations of the items alleged to be
comparable;
(2) Extent to which the alleged comparable item is based on U.S.
technology;
(3) Names and locations of the non-U.S. sources and the basis for
claiming that the item is a non-U.S. source item;
(4) Key performance elements, attributes, and characteristics of
the items on which a qualitative comparison may be made;
(5) Non-U.S. source's production quantities and/or sales of the
alleged comparable items and marketing efforts;
(6) Estimated market demand and the economic impact of the control;
(7) Product names, model designations, and value of U.S. controlled
parts and components incorporated in the items alleged to be
comparable; and
(8) The basis for the claim that the item is available-in-fact to
the country or countries for which foreign availability is alleged.
(c) Supporting evidence of foreign availability may include, but is
not limited to, the following:
(1) Foreign manufacturers' catalogs, brochures, operation or
maintenance manuals;
(2) Articles from reputable trade and technical publications;
(3) Photographs;
(4) Depositions based on eyewitness accounts; and
(5) Other credible evidence.
Note to paragraph (c) of this section: See Supplement No. 1 to
part 768 for additional examples of supporting evidence.
(d) Upon receipt of a FAS or TAC certification, BXA will review it
to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the belief
that foreign availability may exist. If BXA determines the FAS or TAC
certification is lacking in supporting evidence, BXA will seek
additional evidence from appropriate sources, including the claimant or
TAC. BXA will initiate the assessment when it determines that it has
sufficient evidence that foreign availability may exist. Claimant and
TAC certified assessments will be deemed to be initiated as of the date
of such determination.
(e) Claimants and TACs are advised to review the foreign
availability assessment criteria described in Sec. 768.6 of this part
and the examples of evidence described in Supplement No. 1 to part 768
when assembling supporting evidence for inclusion in the FAS or TAC
certification.
Sec. 768.6 Criteria.
BXA will evaluate the evidence contained in a FAS or TAC
certification and all other evidence gathered in the assessment process
in accordance with certain criteria that must be met before BXA can
recommend a positive determination to the Secretary. The criteria are
defined in Sec. 768.1(d) of this part. In order to initiate an
assessment, each FAS and TAC certification should address each of these
criteria. The criteria are statutorily prescribed and are:
(a) Available-in-fact;
(b) Non-U.S. source;
(c) Sufficient quantity; and
(d) Comparable quality.
Sec. 768.7 Procedures.
(a) Initiation of an assessment. (1) Once BXA accepts a FAS or TAC
certification of foreign availability, BXA will notify the claimant or
TAC that it is initiating the assessment.
(2) BXA will publish a Federal Register notice of the initiation of
any assessment.
(3) BXA will notify the Departments of Defense and State, the
intelligence community, and any other departments, agencies and their
contractors that may have information concerning the item on which BXA
has initiated an assessment. Each such department, agency, and
contractor shall provide BXA all relevant information concerning the
item. BXA will invite interested departments and agencies to
participate in the assessment process (See paragraph (e) of this
section).
(b) Data gathering. BXA will seek and consider all available
information that bears upon the presence or absence of foreign
availability, including but not limited to that evidence described in
Sec. 768.5 (b) and (c) of this part. As soon as BXA initiates the
assessment, it will seek evidence relevant to the assessment, including
an analysis of the military needs of a selected country or countries,
technical analysis, and intelligence information from the Departments
of Defense and State, and other U.S. agencies. Evidence is particularly
sought from: industry sources worldwide; other U.S. organizations;
foreign governments; commercial, academic and classified data bases;
scientific and engineering research and development organizations; and
international trade fairs.
(c) Analysis. BXA will conduct its analysis by evaluating whether
the reasonable and reliable evidence that is relevant to each of the
foreign availability criteria provides a sufficient basis to recommend
a determination that foreign availability does or does not exist.
(d) Recommendation and determination. (1) Upon completion of each
assessment, BXA, on the basis of its analysis, will recommend that the
Secretary make a determination either that there is or that there is
not foreign availability, whichever the evidence supports. The
assessment upon which BXA bases its recommendation will accompany the
recommendation to the Secretary.
(2) BXA will recommend on the basis of its analysis that the
Secretary determine that foreign availability exists to a country when
the available evidence demonstrates that an item of comparable quality
is available-in-fact to the country, from non-U.S. sources, in
sufficient quantity so that continuation of the existing national
security export control, or denial of the license application in
question on national security grounds, would be ineffective in
achieving its purpose. For a controlled country, such control or denial
is ``ineffective'' when comparable items are available-in-fact from
foreign sources in sufficient quantities so that maintaining such
control or denying a license would not be effective in restricting the
availability of items that would make a significant contribution to the
military potential of any country or combination of countries
detrimental to the national security of the United States.
(3) The Secretary will make the determination of foreign
availability on the basis of the BXA assessment and recommendation; the
Secretary's determination will take into account the evidence provided
to BXA, the recommendations of the Secretaries of Defense and State and
any other interested agencies, and any other information that the
Secretary considers relevant.
[[Page 12918]]
(4) For all decontrol and denied license assessments (under section
5(f)(3) of the EAA) initiated by a FAS, the Secretary will make a
determination within 4 months of the initiation of the assessment and
will notify the claimant. The Secretary will submit positive
determinations for review to the appropriate departments and agencies.
(5) The deadlines for determinations based on self-initiated and
TAC-initiated assessments are different from the deadlines for
claimant-initiated assessments (see paragraphs (f)(2) and (f)(3) of
this section).
(e) Interagency review. BXA will notify all appropriate U.S.
agencies and Departments upon the initiation of an assessment and will
invite their participation in the assessment process. BXA will provide
all interested agencies and departments an opportunity to review source
material, draft analyses and draft assessments immediately upon their
receipt or production. For claimant-initiated assessments, BXA will
provide a copy of all positive recommendations and assessments to
interested agencies and departments for their review following the
Secretary's determination of foreign availability. For self-initiated
and TAC-initiated assessments, BXA will provide all interested agencies
an opportunity to review and comment on the assessment.
(f) Notification. (1) No later than 5 months after the initiation
of an assessment based on a FAS (claimant assessments), the Secretary
will inform the claimant in writing and will submit for publication in
the Federal Register a notice that:
(i) Foreign availability exists, and
(A) The requirement of a license has been removed or the license
application in question has been approved; or
(B) The President has determined that for national security
purposes the export controls must be maintained or the license
application must be denied, notwithstanding foreign availability, and
that appropriate steps to eliminate the foreign availability are being
initiated; or
(C) In the case of an item controlled multilaterally under the
former COCOM regime, the U.S. Government will conduct any necessary
consultations concerning the proposed decontrol or approval of the
license with the former COCOM regime for a period of up to 4 months
from the date of the publication of the determination in the Federal
Register (the U.S. Government may remove the license requirement for
exports to non-controlled countries pending completion of the former
COCOM regime review process); or
(ii) Foreign availability does not exist.
(2) For all TAC certification assessments, the Secretary will make
a foreign availability determination within 90 days following
initiation of the assessment. BXA will prepare and submit a report to
the TAC and to the Congress stating that:
(i) The Secretary has found foreign availability and has removed
the license requirement; or
(ii) The Secretary has found foreign availability, but has
recommended to the President that negotiations be undertaken to
eliminate the foreign availability; or
(iii) The Secretary has not found foreign availability.
(3) There is no statutory deadline for assessments self-initiated
by the Secretary or for the resulting determination. However, BXA will
make every effort to complete such assessments and determinations
promptly.
(g) Foreign availability to controlled countries. When the
Secretary determines that an item controlled for national security
reasons is available to a controlled country and the President does not
issue a National Security Override (NSO), BXA will submit the
determination to the Department of State, along with a draft proposal
for the multilateral decontrol of the item or for the former COCOM
regime approval of the license. The Department of State will submit the
proposal or the license for former COCOM regime review. The former
COCOM regime will have up to 4 months for review of the proposal.
(h) Foreign availability to non-controlled countries. If the
Secretary determines that foreign availability to non-controlled
countries exists, the Secretary will decontrol the item for export to
all non-controlled countries where it is found to be available, or
approve the license in question, unless the President exercises a
National Security Override.
(i) Negotiations to eliminate foreign availability. (1) The
President may determine that an export control must be maintained
notwithstanding the existence of foreign availability. Such a
determination is called a National Security Override (NSO) and is based
on the President's decision that the absence of the control would prove
detrimental to the United States national security. Unless extended (as
described in paragraph (i)(7) of this section), an NSO is effective for
6 months. Where the President invokes an NSO, the U.S. Government will
actively pursue negotiations with the government of any source country
during the 6 month period to eliminate the availability.
(2) There are two types of National Security Overrides:
(i) An NSO of a determination of foreign availability resulting
from an assessment initiated pursuant to section 5(f) of the EAA
(claimant and self-initiated assessments); and
(ii) An NSO of a determination of foreign availability resulting
from an assessment initiated pursuant to section 5(h) of the EAA (TAC-
certification assessments).
(3) For an NSO resulting from an assessment initiated under section
5(f) of the EAA, the Secretary of any agency may recommend that the
President exercise the authority under the EAA to retain the controls
or deny the license notwithstanding the finding of foreign
availability.
(4) For an NSO resulting from an assessment initiated under section
5(h) of the EAA, the Secretary of Commerce may recommend that the
President exercise the authority under the EAA to retain the controls
notwithstanding the finding of foreign availability.
(5) Under an NSO resulting from an assessment initiated under
section 5(f) of the EAA, the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban
Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on International Relations of
the House of Representatives will be notified of the initiation of the
required negotiations. The notice will include an explanation of the
national security interest that necessitates the retention of controls.
(6) Under an NSO resulting from an assessment initiated under
section 5(f) of the EAA, BXA will publish notices in the Federal
Register consisting of:
(i) The Secretary's determination of foreign availability;
(ii) The President's decision to exercise the NSO;
(iii) A concise statement of the basis for the President's
decision; and
(iv) An estimate of the economic impact of the decision.
(7) The 6 month effective period for an NSO may be extended up to
an additional 12 months if, prior to the end of the 6 months, the
President certifies to Congress that the negotiations are progressing,
and determines that the absence of the controls would continue to be
detrimental to the United States national security.
(8) After the conclusion of negotiations, BXA will retain the
control only to the extent that foreign availability is eliminated. If
foreign availability is not eliminated, BXA will decontrol the item by
removing the requirement for a license for the export of the item to
the destinations covered by the assessment. To the extent that the
negotiations are successful and the
[[Page 12919]]
foreign availability is eliminated, BXA will remove the license
requirement for the export of the item to any country that has agreed
to eliminate foreign availability.
(j) Changes in foreign availability. If BXA becomes aware of
conditions, including new evidence, that affect a previous
determination that foreign availability exists or does not exist, BXA
may review the conditions. If BXA finds that the foreign availability
previously determined no longer exists, or that foreign availability
not earlier found now does exist, BXA will make a recommendation to the
Secretary of Commerce for the appropriate changes in the control. The
Secretary of Commerce will make a determination, and BXA will publish a
Federal Register notice of the determination.
Sec. 768.8 Eligibility of expedited licensing procedures for non-
controlled countries.
(a) BXA determines the eligibility of an item for expedited
licensing procedures on the basis of an evaluation of the foreign
availability of the item. Eligibility is specific to the items and the
countries to which they are found to be available.
(b) BXA will initiate an eligibility evaluation:
(1) On its own initiative;
(2) On receipt of a FAS; or
(3) On receipt of a TAC certification.
(c) Upon initiation of an eligibility evaluation following receipt
of either a FAS or TAC certification, BXA will notify the claimant or
TAC of the receipt and initiation of an evaluation and publish a
Federal Register notice of the initiation of the evaluation.
(d) The criteria for determining eligibility for expedited
licensing procedures are:
(1) The item must be available-in-fact to the specified
non-controlled country from a foreign source;
(2) The item must be of a quality similar to that of the U.S.-
controlled item; and
(3) The item must be available-in-fact to the specified non-
controlled country without effective restrictions.
(e) Within 30 days of initiation of the evaluation, the Secretary
of Commerce will make a determination of foreign availability on the
basis of the BXA evaluation and recommendation, taking into
consideration the evidence the Secretaries of Defense, State, and other
interested agencies provide to BXA and any other information that the
Secretary considers relevant.
(f) Within 30 days of the receipt of the FAS or TAC certification,
BXA will publish the Secretary's determination in the Federal Register,
that the item will or will not be eligible for expedited licensing
procedures to the stated countries and, where appropriate, amend
Supplement No. 2 to part 768.
(g) Following completion of a self-initiated evaluation, BXA will
be notified of the Secretary's determination and, where appropriate,
Supplement No. 2 to part 768 will be amended.
(h) Foreign availability submissions and TAC certifications to
initiate an expedited licensing procedure evaluation must be clearly
designated on their face as a request for expedited licensing procedure
and must specify the items, quantities and countries alleged eligible.
Submissions and certifications should be sent to: Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Export Administration, 14th Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW., Room 3877, Washington, DC 20230.
Sec. 768.9 Appeals of negative foreign availability determinations.
Appeals of negative determinations will be conducted according to
the standards and procedures described in part 756 of the EAR. A
Presidential decision (NSO) to deny a license or continue controls
notwithstanding a determination of foreign availability is not subject
to appeal.
Sec. 768.10 Removal of controls on less sophisticated items.
Where the Secretary has removed national security controls on an
item for foreign availability reasons, the Secretary will also remove
controls on similar items that are controlled for national security
reasons and whose functions, technological approach, performance
thresholds, and other attributes that form the basis for national
security export controls do not exceed the technical parameters of the
item that BXA has decontrolled for foreign availability reasons.
Supplement No. 1 to Part 768--Evidence of Foreign Availability
This Supplement provides a list of examples of evidence that the
Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) has found to be useful in
conducting assessments of foreign availability. A claimant submitting
evidence supporting a claim of foreign availability should review this
list for suggestions as evidence is collected. Acceptable evidence
indicating possible foreign availability is not limited to these
examples, nor is any one of these examples, usually, in and of itself,
necessarily sufficient to meet a foreign availability criterion. A
combination of several types of evidence for each criterion usually is
required. A Foreign Availability Submission (FAS) should include as
much evidence as possible on all four of the criteria listed below. BXA
combines the submitted evidence with the evidence that it collects from
other sources. BXA evaluates all evidence, taking into account factors
that may include, but are not limited to: Information concerning the
source of the evidence, corroborative or contradictory indications, and
experience concerning the reliability or reasonableness of such
evidence. BXA will assess all relevant evidence to determine whether
each of the four criteria has been met. Where possible, all information
should be in writing. If information is based on third party
documentation, the submitter should provide such documentation to BXA.
If information is based on oral statements a third party made, the
submitter should provide a memorandum of the conversation to BXA if the
submitter cannot obtain a written memorandum from the source. BXA will
amend this informational list as it identifies new examples of
evidence.
(a) Examples of evidence of foreign availability:
The following are intended as examples of evidence that BXA will
consider in evaluating foreign availability. BXA will evaluate all
evidence according to the provisions in Sec. 768.7(c) of this part in
order for it to be used in support of a foreign availability
determination. This list is illustrative only.

Authority: 50 U.S.C. app. 2401 et seq.; 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.;
E.O. 12924, 3 CFR, 1994 Comp., p. 917; Notice of August 15, 1995 (60
FR 42767, August 17, 1995).
Sec. 770.1 Introduction.
In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR
chapter VII, subchapter C. This part provides commodity, technology,
and software interpretations. These interpretations clarify the scope
of controls where such scope is not readily apparent from the Commerce
Control List (CCL) (see Supplement No. 1 to part 774 of the EAR) and
other provisions of the Export Administration Regulations.
Sec. 770.2 Commodity interpretations.
(a) Interpretation 1: Anti-friction bearing or bearing systems and
specially designed parts. (1) Anti-friction bearings or bearing systems
shipped as spares or replacements are classified under Export Control
Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 2A001, 2A002, 2A003, 2A004, 2A005, and
2A006 (ball, roller, or needle-roller bearings and parts). This applies
to separate shipments of anti-friction bearings or bearing systems and
anti-friction bearings or bearing systems shipped with machinery or
equipment for which they are intended to be used as spares or
replacement parts.
(2) An anti-friction bearing or bearing system physically
incorporated in a segment of a machine or in a complete machine prior
to shipment loses its identity as a bearing. In this scenario, the
machine or segment of machinery containing the bearing is the item
subject to export control requirements.
(3) An anti-friction bearing or bearing system not incorporated in
a segment of a machine prior to shipment, but shipped as a component of
a complete unassembled (knocked-down) machine, is considered a
component of a machine. In this scenario, the complete machine is the
item subject to export license requirements.
(b) Interpretation 2: Classification of ``parts'' of machinery,
equipment, or other items. (1) An assembled machine or unit of
equipment is being exported. In instances where one or more assembled
machines or units of equipment are being exported, the individual
component parts that are physically incorporated into the machine or
equipment do not require a license. The license or general exception
under which the complete machine or unit of equipment is exported will
also cover its component parts, provided that the parts are normal and
usual components of the machine or equipment being exported, or that
the physical incorporation is not used as a device to evade the
requirement for a license.
(2) Parts are exported as spares, replacements, for resale, or for
stock. In instances where parts are exported as spares, replacements,
for resale, or for stock, a license is required only if the appropriate
entry for the part specifies that a license is required for the
intended destination.
(c) Interpretation 3: Wire or cable cut to length. (1) Wire or
cable may be included as a component of a system or piece of equipment,
whether or not the
[[Page 12921]]
wire or cable is cut to length and whether or not it is fitted with
connectors at one or both ends, so long as it is in normal quantity
necessary to make the original installation of the equipment and is
necessary to its operation.
(2) Wire or cable exported as replacement or spares, or for further
manufacture is controlled under the applicable wire or cable ECCN only.
This includes wire or cable, whether or not cut to length or fitted
with connectors at one or both ends.
(d) Interpretation 4: Telecommunications equipment and systems.
Control equipment for paging systems (broadcast radio or selectively
signalled receiving systems) is defined as circuit switching equipment
in Category 5 of the CCL.
(e) Interpretation 5: Numerical control systems. (1) Classification
of ``Numerical Control'' Units. ``Numerical control'' units for machine
tools, regardless of their configurations or architectures, are
controlled by their functional characteristics as described in ECCN
2B001.a. ``Numerical control'' units include computers with add-on
``motion control boards''. A computer with add-on ``motion control
boards'' for machine tools may be controlled under ECCN 2B001.a even
when the computer alone without ``motion control boards'' is not
subject to licensing requirements under Category 4 and the ``motion
control boards'' are not controlled under ECCN 2B001.b.
(2) Export documentation requirement. (i) When preparing a license
application for a numerical control system, the machine tool and the
control unit are classified separately. If either the machine tool or
the control unit requires a license, then the entire unit requires a
license. If either a machine tool or a control unit is exported
separately from the system, the exported component is classified on the
license application without regard to the other parts of a possible
system.
(ii) When preparing the Shipper's Export Declaration (SED), a
system being shipped complete (i.e., machine and control unit), should
be reported under the Schedule B number for each machine. When either a
control unit or a machine is shipped separately, it should be reported
under the Schedule B number appropriate for the individual item being
exported.
(f) Interpretation 6: Parts, accessories, and equipment exported as
scrap. Parts, accessories, or equipment that are being shipped as scrap
should be described on the SED in sufficient detail to be identified
under the proper ECCN. When commodities declared as parts, accessories,
or equipment are shipped in bulk, or are otherwise not packaged,
packed, or sorted in accordance with normal trade practices, the
Customs Officer may require evidence that the shipment is not scrap.
Such evidence may include, but is not limited to, bills of sale, orders
and correspondence indicating whether the commodities are scrap or are
being exported for use as parts, accessories, or equipment.
(g) Interpretation 7: Scrap arms, ammunition, and implements of
war. Arms, ammunition, and implements of war, as defined in the U.S.
Munitions List, and are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department
of State (22 CFR parts 120 through 130), except for the following,
which are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce:
(1) Cartridge and shell cases that have been rendered useless
beyond the possibility of restoration to their original identity by
means of excessive heating, flame treatment, mangling, crushing,
cutting, or by any other method are ``scrap''.
(2) Cartridge and shell cases that have been sold by the armed
services as ``scrap'', whether or not they have been heated, flame-
treated, mangled, crushed, cut, or reduced to scrap by any other
method.
(3) Other commodities that may have been on the U.S. Munitions List
are ``scrap'', and therefore under the jurisdiction of the Department
of Commerce, if they have been rendered useless beyond the possibility
of restoration to their original identify only by means of mangling,
crushing, or cutting. When in doubt as to whether a commodity covered
by the Munitions List has been rendered useless, exporters should
consult the Office of Defense Trade Controls, U.S. Department of State,
Washington, DC 20520, or the Exporter Counseling Division, Office of
Exporter Services, Room 1099A, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington,
DC 20230, before reporting a shipment as metal scrap.
(h) Interpretation 8: Military automotive vehicles and parts for
such vehicles. (1) Military automotive vehicles. (i) For purposes of
U.S. export controls, military automotive vehicles ``possessing or
built to current military specifications differing materially from
normal commercial specifications'' may include, but are not limited to,
the following characteristics:
(A) Special fittings for mounting ordnance or military equipment;
(B) Bullet-proof glass;
(C) Armor plate;
(D) Fungus preventive treatment;
(E) Twenty-four volt electrical systems;
(F) Shielded electrical system (electronic emission suppression);
or
(G) Puncture-proof or run-flat tires.
(ii) Automotive vehicles fall into two categories.
(A) Military automotive vehicles on the Munitions List, new and
used. Automotive vehicles in this category are primarily combat
(fighting) vehicles, with or without armor and/or armament, ``designed
for specific fighting function.'' These automotive vehicles are
licensed for export by the U.S. Department of State (22 CFR parts 120
through 130).
(B) Military automotive vehicles not on the U.S. Munitions List,
new and used. Automotive vehicles in this category are primarily
transport vehicles designed for non-combat military purposes
(transporting cargo, personnel and/or equipment, and/or for to wing
other vehicles and equipment over land and roads in close support of
fighting vehicles and troops). These automotive vehicles are licensed
for export by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
(iii) Parts for military automotive vehicles. Functional parts are
defined as those parts making up the power train of the vehicles,
including the electrical system, the cooling system, the fuel system,
and the control system (brake and steering mechanism), the front and
rear axle assemblies including the wheels, the chassis frame, springs
and shock absorbers. Parts specifically designed for military
automotive vehicles on the Munitions List are licensed for export by
the U.S. Department of State (22 CFR parts 120 through 130).
(iv) General instructions. Manufacturers of non-Munitions List
automotive vehicles and/or parts will know whether their products meet
the conditions described in this paragraph (h). Merchant exporters and
other parties who are not sure whether their products (automotive
vehicles and/or parts) meet these conditions should check with their
suppliers for the required information before making a shipment under
general exception or submitting an application to BXA for a license.
(2) [Reserved]
(i) Interpretation 9: Aircraft, parts, accessories and components.
Aircraft, parts, accessories, and components defined in Categories VIII
and IX of the Munitions List are under the export licensing authority
of the U.S. Department of State (22 CFR parts 120 through 130). All
other aircraft, and parts, accessories and components therefor, are
under the export licensing
[[Page 12922]]
authority of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The following aircraft,
parts, accessories and components are under the licensing authority of
the U.S. Department of Commerce:
(1) Any aircraft (except an aircraft that has been demilitarized,
but including aircraft specified in paragraph (i)(2) of this section)
that conforms to a Federal Aviation Agency type certificate in the
normal, utility, acrobatic, transport, or restricted category, provided
such aircraft has not been equipped with or modified to include
military equipment, such as gun mounts, turrets, rocket launchers, or
similar equipment designed for military combat or military training
purposes.
(2) Only the following military aircraft, demilitarized (aircraft
not specifically equipped, reequipped, or modified for military
operations):
(i) Cargo, bearing designations ``C-45 through C-118 inclusive,''
and ``C-121'';
(ii) Trainers, bearing a ``T'' designation and using piston
engines;
(iii) Utility, bearing a ``U'' designation and using piston
engines;
(iv) Liaison, bearing an ``L'' designation; and
(v) Observation, bearing an ``O'' designation and using piston
engines.
(3) All reciprocating engines.
(4) Other aircraft engines not specifically designed or modified
for military aircraft.
(5) Parts, accessories, and components (including propellers),
designed exclusively for aircraft and engines described in paragraphs
(i)(1), (i)(2), (i)(3), and (i)(4) of this section.
(6) General purpose parts, accessories, and components usable
interchangeably on either military or civil aircraft.
(j) Interpretation 10: Civil aircraft inertial navigation
equipment. (1) The Department of Commerce has licensing jurisdiction
over exports and reexports to all destinations of inertial navigation
systems, inertial navigation equipment, and specially designed
components therefor for ``civil aircraft''.
(2) The Department of State, retains jurisdiction over all software
and technology for inertial navigation systems and navigation
equipment, and specially designed components therefor, for shipborne
use, underwater use, ground vehicle use, spaceborne use or use other
than ``civil aircraft''.
(k) Interpretation 11: Precursor chemicals. The following chemicals
are controlled by ECCN 1C350. The appropriate Chemical Abstract Service
Registry (C.A.S.) number and synonyms, (i.e., alternative names) are
included to help you determine whether your chemicals are controlled by
this entry. These chemicals require a license to all countries except
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Czech
Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,

Sec. 770.3 Interpretations related to exports of technology and
software to destinations in Country Group D:1.
(a) Introduction. This section is intended to provide you
additional guidance on how to determine whether your technology or
software would be eligible for a License Exception, may be exported
under NLR, or require a license, for export to Country Group D:1.
(b) Scope of licenses. The export of technology and software under
a license is authorized only to the extent specifically indicated on
the face of the license. The only technology and software related to
equipment exports that may be exported without a license is technology
described in Secs. 734.7 through 734.11 of the EAR; operating
technology and software described in Sec. 740.8(a) of the EAR; sales
technology described in Sec. 740.8(b) of the EAR; and software updates
described in Sec. 740.8(c) of the EAR.
(c) Commingled technology and software. (1) U.S.-origin technology
does not lose its U.S.-origin when it is redrawn, used, consulted, or
otherwise commingled abroad in any respect with other technology of any
other origin. Therefore, any subsequent or similar technical data
prepared or engineered abroad for the design, construction, operation,
or maintenance of any plant or equipment, or part thereof, which is
based on or utilizes any U.S.-origin technology, is subject to the EAR
is the same manner as the original U.S.-origin technology, including
license requirements, unless the commingled technology is not subject
to the EAR by reason of the de minimis exclusions described at
Sec. 732.4 of the EAR.
(2) U.S.-origin software that is incorporated into or commingled
with foreign-origin software does not lose its U.S.-origin. Such
commingled software is subject to the EAR is the same manner as the
original U.S.-origin software, including license requirements, unless
the commingled software is not subject to the EAR by reason of the de
minimis exclusions described at Sec. 732.4 of the EAR.
(d) Certain License Exception. The following questions and answers
are intended to further clarify the scope of technology and software
eligible for a License Exception.
(1)(i) Question 1. (A) Our engineers, in installing or repairing
equipment, use techniques (experience as well as proprietary knowledge
of the internal componentry or specifications of the equipment) that
exceed what is provided in the standard manuals or instructions
(including training) given to the customer. In some cases, it is also a
condition of the license that such information provided to the customer
be constrained to the minimum necessary for normal installation,
maintenance and operation situations.
(B) Can we send an engineer (with knowledge and experience) to the
customer site to perform the installation or repair, under the
provisions of License Exception for operating technology and software
(OTS) described in Sec. 740.8(a) of the EAR, if it is understood that
he is restricted by our normal business practices to performing the
work without imparting the knowledge or technology to the customer
personnel?
(ii) Answer 1. Export of technology includes release of U.S.-origin
data in a foreign country, and ``release'' includes ``application to
situations abroad of personal knowledge or technical experience
acquired in the United States.'' As the release of technology in the
circumstances described here would exceed that permitted under the
License Exception for operating technology and software described in
Sec. 740.8(a) of the EAR, a license would be required even though the
technician could apply the data without disclosing it to the customer.
(2)(i) Question 2. We plan, according to our normal business
practices, to train customer engineers to maintain equipment that we
have exported under a license, License Exception, or NLR. The training
is contractual in nature, provided for a fee, and is scheduled to take
place in part in the customer's facility and in part in the U.S. Can we
now proceed with this training at both locations under a License
Exception?
(ii) Answer 2. (A) Provided that this is your normal training, and
involves technology contained in your manuals and standard instructions
for the exported equipment, and meets the other requirements of License
Exception for operating technology and software (OTS) described in
Sec. 740.8(a), the training may be provided within the limits of that
License Exception. The location of the training is not significant, as
the export occurs at the time and place of the actual transfer or
imparting of the technology to the customer's engineers.
(B) Any training beyond that covered under the provisions of
License Exception for operating technology and software (OTS) described
in Sec. 740.8(a), but specifically represented in your license
application as required for this customer installation, and in fact
authorized on the face of the license or a separate technology license,
may not be undertaken while the license is suspended or revoked.
Sec. 770.4 Interpretations related to chemical mixtures--de minimis
exceptions examples.
(a)(1) Introduction: The following are examples for applying the de
minimis exceptions for chemical mixtures containing precursor and
intermediate chemicals controlled under ECCN 1C350.
(2) In ECCN 1C350, Note 2, paragraphs (c) and (d) within the
Mixtures Exemptions state that a validated license is required when at
least one of the listed chemicals constitutes more than 10% or 25%,
respectively, of the weight of the mixture on a solvent free basis.
(b)(1) Example One. A mixture contains the following components:
(i) 90% polymer polyol (a liquid raw material used to make
polyurethane polymers); and
(ii) 10% Australia Group (AG)-controlled chemical eligible for 25%
de minimis exemption.
Note to paragraph (b) of this section: The polymer does not
dissolve the AG-controlled chemical.
(2) In this example, the polymer polyol does not dissolve the AG-
controlled chemical (the only other component of the mixture).
Therefore, the polyol is NOT considered a solvent, and the
concentration of the polymer polyol is included in the concentration
calculation. As a result, the AG-controlled chemical's concentration is
10% when calculated on a solvent-free basis (.10/1.00). Accordingly,
this concentration is below the threshold concentration of 25%
applicable to specific AG-controlled chemicals under the chemical
mixtures rule and can be exported under NLR to all destinations except
Iran, Sudan, Syria, and Country Group E:2 in Supplement No. 1 to part
740 of the EAR.
(3) To determine the classification of this mixture, it is
necessary to determine whether the polymer is capable of functioning as
a solvent for the other components of the mixture. If the polymer
polyol is capable of functioning as a solvent for the controlled AG
chemical, then the polymer component is omitted from the concentration
calculation. If the polymer polyol is not capable of functioning as a
solvent for the AG chemical, then the polymer component is included in
the concentration calculation.
[[Page 12925]]
(c)(1) Example Two: An automotive coolant (antifreeze) is a mixture
of the following components:
(i) 75% ethylene glycol;
(ii) 10% additive package; and
(iii) 15% water.
Note to paragraph (c) of this section: The ``additive package''
contains an AG-controlled chemical that is eligible for the 10% de
minimis exemption. This chemical is added as a stabilizer and
represents 9% of the total mixture. The remaining components of the
additive package are various dyes and stabilizers that represent 1%
of the total mixture. Ethylene glycol serves as the basic functional
ingredient that prevents the engine block from freezing, and does
not dissolve the other components of the mixture. The water is added
to keep the mixture in solution.
(2) To determine if this mixture requires a license it is necessary
to calculate the concentration of the AG-controlled chemical on a
solvent-free basis. Since the water dissolves all of the other
components of the mixture, water is considered a ``solvent'' and the
quantity of water present is not included in the calculation of the AG-
chemical concentration. Consequently, the concentration of the AG
chemical is approximately 11% (.09/.85), and the mixture is classified
under ECCN 1C350. Accordingly, since this concentration is above the
threshold concentration of 10% applicable to this category of AG-
controlled chemical under the chemical mixtures rule, a license is
required to all destinations except AG member countries.
(d)(1) Example Three. A pesticide formulation consists of an AG-
controlled chemical that is eligible for the 25% de minimis exemption,
and an active ingredient that is not AG-controlled. The formulation is
diluted with water to allow safe, effective, and economic application.
The resulting mixture is 15% AG chemical, 40% active ingredient and 45%
water. Although the water is added as a diluent, it dissolves the other
components of the mixture.
(2) Since the water dissolves all components in the mixture, it is
considered a solvent even though it was added as a diluent. The percent
concentration of the AG-controlled chemical calculated on a solvent
free basis is .15/.55 = 27%, and the mixture is therefore classified
under ECCN 1C350. Accordingly, since this concentration is above the
threshold concentration of 25% applicable to this category of AG-
controlled chemicals under the chemical mixtures rule, a license is
required to all destinations except AG member countries.
(e)(1) Example Four. A mixture contains the following components:
(i) 10% water;
(ii) 22% Chemical A;
(iii) 21% Chemical B;
(iv) 20% Chemical C;
(v) 19% Chemical D; and
(vi) 8% Chemical E.
Note to paragraph (e) of this section: The water is added to
dissolve the other components of the mixture. Chemicals A, B, C, and
D are AG-controlled chemicals each eligible for 25% de minimis
exemption. Chemical E is an AG-controlled chemical eligible for 10%
de minimis exemption.
(2) In this example, water is considered a solvent since it
dissolves all components in the mixture. Therefore, the quantity of
water present in the mixture is not included in calculating the
concentrations of the controlled chemicals on a solvent-free basis. The
concentrations of the controlled chemicals are as follows: Chemical A
24%; Chemical B 23%; Chemical C 22%; Chemical D 21%; Chemical E 9%. It
is important to note that in this example, even though the cumulative
amount of the mixture (90%) consists of controlled chemicals, each one
of the controlled chemicals is below the de minimis level for its
category. Consequently, this mixture can be exported under NLR to all
destinations except Iran, Sudan, Syria, and Country Group E:2 in
Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR.

Sec. 774.1 Introduction.
In this part, references to the EAR are references to 15 CFR
chapter VII, subchapter C. The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA)
maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL) that includes items
(commodities, software, and technology) subject to the authority of
BXA. The CCL does not include those items exclusively controlled for
export by another department or agency of the U.S. Government. In
instances where other agencies administer controls over related items,
entries in the CCL will contain a reference to these controls. Those
items subject to the EAR but not specified on the CCL are identified by
the designator ``EAR99''. See Sec. 734.2(a) of the EAR for items that
are ``subject to the EAR''. You should consult part 738 of the EAR for
an explanation of the organization of the CCL and its relationship to
the Country Chart.
The CCL is contained in Supplement No. 1 to this part, and
Supplement No. 2 to this part contains the General Technology and
Software Notes relevant to entries contained in the CCL.

a. Test conditions (paragraph 3):
1. For 12 hours before and during measurements, the machine tool
and accuracy measuring equipment will be kept at the same ambient
temperature. During the premeasurement time the slides of the
machine will be continuously cycled in the same manner that the
accuracy measurements will be taken;
2. The machine shall be equipped with any mechanical,
electronic, or software compensation to be exported with the
machine;
3. Accuracy of measuring equipment for the measurements shall be
at least four times more accurate than the expected machine tool
accuracy;
4. Power supply for slide drives shall be as follows:
a. Line voltage variation shall not exceed <plus-minus>10% of
nominal rated voltage;
b. Frequency variation shall not exceed <plus-minus>2 Hz of
normal frequency;
