ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the Commerce Control List (CCL), which identifies items subject to Department of Commerce export controls. This final rule revises certain entries controlled for national security reasons in Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Part I (telecommunications), 5 Part II (information security), 6, and 7 to conform with changes in the List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies maintained and agreed to by governments participating in the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar Arrangement). The Wassenaar Arrangement focuses on implementation of effective export controls on strategic items with the objective of improving regional and international security and stability. The purpose of this final rule is to make the necessary changes to the Commerce Control List to implement revisions to the Wassenaar List that were agreed upon in the December 2003 meeting. In addition, this rule adds a paragraph to Interpretation 12 ``Computers'' to provide guidance as to how to calculate the Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP) for computer systems with ``non-uniform memory access'' (NUMA) architecture, and to define NUMA. DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective April 29, 2004.

The Wassenaar Arrangement contributes to regional and international security and stability by promoting transparency and greater responsibility in transfers of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies, thus preventing destabilizing accumulations of such items. Participating states have committed to exchange information on exports of dual-use goods and technologies to non-participating states for the purposes of enhancing transparency and assisting in developing common understandings of the risks associated with the transfers of these items. This rule revises a number of national security controlled entries on the Commerce Control List (CCL) to conform with December 2003 revisions to the Wassenaar List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies. This rule also revises language to provide a complete or more accurate description of controls. A detailed description of the revisions to the CCL is provided below. Specifically, this rule makes the following amendments to the Commerce Control List: Category 1--Materials, Chemicals, ``Microorganisms,'' and Toxins ECCN 1A005 is amended by: (a) Revising note 2 in the Related Controls paragraph and moving it to a Note in the Items paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section; (b) Moving note 3 in the Related Controls paragraph to a Note in the Items paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section; and (c) Adding a new note 2 in the Related Controls paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section to point to a related control in ECCN 1C010 concerning the ``fibrous or filamentary materials'' used in the manufacture of body armor. Category 2--Materials Processing ECCN 2B001 is amended by: (a) Revising the heading to add ``specially designed components'' (inserting ``and specially designed components'' in the 2B001 heading before the words ``as follows'' simply makes the heading consistent with the inclusion of ``and specially designed components therefor'' in 2B001.f and does not impose a new license requirement for specially designed components for the other 2B001 sub-items); and (b) Adding a new note 3 to the beginning of the Items paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section that reads, ``A machine tool having at least two of the three turning, milling or grinding capabilities (e.g., a turning machine with milling capability), must be evaluated against each applicable entry 2B001.a., b. or c.'' ECCN 2B002 is added to the CCL to control exports and reexports of ``Numerically controlled machine tools using a magnetorheological finishing (MRF) process'' for national security (NS) and anti-terrorism (AT) reasons. ECCN 2B006 is amended by revising the note for 2B006.b.2 to provide that ``laser light'' is an example of ``collimated light''. ECCN 2B206 is amended by adding a paragraph 2B206.c that will duplicate text from 2B006.b.2, without, however, the ``laser light'' example of ``collimated light'' in the note, because the ``laser light'' example has not been adopted by the Nuclear Supplier's Group. ECCN 2D002 is amended by adding a second note to the Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section to read, ``2D002 does not control `software' for items controlled by 2B002. See 2D001 for control of `software' for items controlled by 2B002.'' Category 2E--Materials Processing ``Notes to Table on Deposition Techniques'' is amended by adding to the end of note 17, ``or molds, for casting or molding of plastics, manufactured from alloys containing less than 5% beryllium.'' Category 3--Electronics ECCN 3A001 is amended by: (a) Revising the parameter ``31 GHz'' to read ``31.8 GHz'' in paragraph (b) of Notes 1 and 2 for 3A001.b.1, and 3A001.b.1.a.1; (b) Revising 3A001.b.2 (including subparagraphs) to control microwave monolithic integrated circuits with newly revised parameters; (c) Revising Note 1 for 3A001.b.2; [[Page 23599]] (d) Adding two new notes for 3A001.b.2; (e) Revising 3A001.b.3 to add parameters and a Note; (f) Revising 3A001.b.4 to add parameters, a nota bene (N.B.), and two Notes; and (g) Removing and reserving 3A001.b.6 ``certain `microwave assemblies' '', and reference to such commodity in the Related Controls paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section of 3A001. ECCN 3A002 is amended by: (a) Revising the parameter for frequency synthesized signal generators in 3A002.d.1; (b) Adding a new parameter in 3A002.d.2; (c) Redesignating paragraphs 2 and 3 as paragraphs 3 and 4; and (d) Adding a Technical Note for 3A002.d.1 regarding ``pulse duration''. ECCN 3A003 is added to control certain ``spray cooling thermal management systems'' and ``specially designed components therefor''. ECCN 3B001 is amended by: (a) Removing the term ``Stored program controlled'' from 3B001.a, .b, .c, .d, .e, and .f. (b) Revising the parameters in 3B001.a.1 for equipment designed for epitaxial growth; (c) Revising the parameters in 3B001.b.4 for equipment designed for ion implantation; (d) Revising the parameters in 3B001.d.1 for plasma enhanced CVD equipment with cassette-to-cassette operation and load-locks; (e) Revising the parameters in 3B001.d.2 for plasma enhanced CVD equipment specially designed for automatic loading multi-chamber central wafer handling systems controlled in 3B001.e; and (f) Adding a Note to 3B001.h for ``Multi-layer masks with a phase shift layer''. ECCN 3B002 is amended by: (a) Revising the frequency parameter from ``31 GHz'' to read ``31.8 GHz'' in 3B002.a; (b) Revising the parameter for test equipment for testing integrated circuits capable of performing functional (truth table) testing at a pattern rate of more than ``333 MHz'' to read ``667 MHz'' in 3B002.b; Note: For commodities no longer controlled under ECCN 3B002, there is a license requirement under ECCN 3B992 for exports and reexports to AT Column 1 countries of the Commerce Country Chart. ECCN 3D002 is amended by revising the Heading and adding paragraphs to the List of Items Controlled to remove ``use'' software for 3B001.g and .h (masks, reticles, and multi-layer masks) from this entry. Note: For commodities no longer controlled under ECCN 3D002, there is a license requirement under ECCN 3D991 for exports and reexports to AT Column 1 countries of the Commerce Country Chart. ECCN 3D003 is amended by revising the Heading to include the items to be controlled by this ECCN, removing the note in Related Controls, removing Note 2 in the Related Definitions paragraph, adding a new Note 2 to define ``Physics-based,'' and deleting all paragraphs under Items paragraph of the List of Items Controlled section. ECCN 3D004 is added to control ``software'' specially designed for the ``development'' of the equipment controlled by the newly added ECCN 3A003 ``spray cooling thermal management systems and specially designed components therefor''. ECCN 3D991 is amended by revising the Heading to add ``software'' specially designed for the ``use'' of equipment controlled by 3B001.g and .h (masks, reticles, and multi-layer masks). ECCN 3E001 is amended by revising Note 1 and adding Note 2 to read ``3E001 does not control `technology' for the `production' of equipment or components controlled by 3A003.'' ECCN 3E002 is amended by revising the Note in the List of Items Controlled to remove reference to certain microwave transistors. ECCN 3E003 is amended by adding a Note for 3E003.b concerning high electron mobility transistors (HEMT); and revising the frequency from ``31 GHz'' to ``31.8 GHz'' in Note 1 of the Related Controls paragraph, as well as in paragraph 3E003.g ``Electronic vacuum tubes''. Category 4--Computers ECCN 4A002 is deleted from the CCL. Note: For commodities no longer controlled under ECCN 4A002, there is a license requirement under ECCN 4A994 for exports and reexports to AT Column 1 countries of the Commerce Country Chart. The software and technology for the ``development'', ``production'', and ``use'' of this commodity will move from 4D001 to 4D994, and 4E001 to 4E992, respectively. ECCN 4A994 is amended by revising the Heading and adding paragraph 4A994.k to control commodities that were previously controlled by ECCN 4A002. In addition, this rule adds an explanatory note contained in the List of Items Controlled section of ECCN 4A003 to ECCN 4A994, to clarify that the control status of the listed items is determined the same way for both ECCNs. Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP) Calculation formula is amended to add a nota bene (N.B.) just below the heading to reference a new paragraph (3) to paragraph 770.2(1) Interpretation 12: ``Computers'', which now provides guidance as to how to calculate the Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP) for computer systems with ``Non-Uniform Memory Access'' (NUMA) architecture, and defines NUMA. Category 5--Part I--Telecommunications ECCN 5B001 is amended by: (a) Removing the term ``stored program controlled'' from 5B001.b; (b) Removing the phrase ``including `Asynchronous Transfer Mode' (`ATM')'' from 5B001.b.1; (c) Revising the ``total digital transfer rate'' parameter from ``1.5 Gbit/s'' to ``15 Gbit/s'' in 5B001.b.1; and (d) Adding a Technical Note after 5B001.b.1 to define ``total digital transfer rate''. Note: For commodities no longer controlled under ECCN 5B001, there is a license requirement under ECCN 5B991 for exports and reexports to AT Column 1 countries of the Commerce Country Chart. ECCN 5D001 is amended by: (a) Removing the term ``stored program controlled'' from 5D001.d; (b) Removing the phrase ``including `Asynchronous Transfer Mode' (`ATM')'' from 5D001.d.1; (c) Revising the ``total digital transfer rate'' parameter from ``1.5 Gbit/s'' to ``15 Gbit/s'' in 5D001.d.1; and (d) Adding a Technical Note after 5D001.d.1 to define ``total digital transfer rate''. Note: For commodities no longer controlled under ECCN 5D001, there is a license requirement under ECCN 5D991 for exports and reexports to AT Column 1 countries of the Commerce Country Chart. ECCN 5E001 is amended by: (a) Removing the term ``stored program controlled'' from 5E001.c; (b) Removing the phrase ``including `Asynchronous Transfer Mode' (`ATM')'' from 5E001.c.1; (c) Revising the ``total digital transfer rate'' parameter from ``1.5 Gbit/s'' to ``15 Gbit/s'' in 5E001.c.1; (d) Adding a Technical Note after 5E001.c.1 to define ``total digital transfer rate''; and (e) Revising the frequency parameter from ``31 GHz'' to ``31.8 GHz'' in 5E001.c.4.b. Note: For commodities no longer controlled under ECCN 5E001, there is a license requirement under ECCN 5E991 for [[Page 23600]] exports and reexports to AT Column 1 countries of the Commerce Country Chart. Category 5--Part II--Information Security ECCN 5A002 is amended by removing and reserving 5A002.a.7, which read ``Designed or modified to provide certified or certifiable `multilevel security' or user isolation at a level exceeding Class B2 of the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC) or equivalent;'' Category 6--Sensors ECCN 6A001 is amended by: (a) Revising the parameter for towed acoustic hydrophone arrays by adding the phrase `` `or able to be modified' to have hydrophone group spacing of less than 12.5 m;'' to the existing parameter in 6A001.a.2.b.1; and (b) Revising the reference in the Technical Note from ``6A001.a.2.b.2'' to read ``6A001.a.2.b''. ECCN 6A003 is amended by: (a) Revising the parameter in 6A001.b.1 for video cameras incorporating solid state sensors by adding three new parameters to control these video cameras when they have optical mirrors controlled by 6A004.a, optical control equipment controlled by 6A004.d, or the capability for annotating internally generated camera tracking data; and (b) Adding Technical Note 2 to explain camera tracking data. ECCN 6A005 is amended by: (a) Repositioning the two Notes under 6A005.b.4 to under 6A005.b.

Category 7--Navigation and Avionics Removing nota bene (N.B.) number 2 ``For inertial navigation equipment for ships or submersibles, see Item 9.e on the Wassenaar Munitions List.'' from Category 7. ECCN 7A003 is amended by: (a) Revising the phrase ``Inertial Navigation Systems (INS)'' to read ``Inertial Systems'' in the Heading; (b) Revising the phrase ``Inertial navigation systems'' to read ``Inertial Navigation Systems (INS)'', and adding ``vessels (surface or underwater)'' to 7A003.a; (c) Adding a new paragraph 7A003.c to control ``Inertial Equipment for Azimuth, Heading, or North Pointing.'' Specific parameters for this equipment are also added in 7A003.c.1 and c.2; and (d) Adding Note 3 to read, ``7A003.c.1 does not control theodolite systems incorporating inertial equipment specially designed for civil surveying purposes.'' All items removed from national security (NS) controls as a result of changes to the Wassenaar List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies will continue to be controlled for antiterrorism (AT) reasons. In addition, this rule adds a paragraph (3) to paragraph 770.2(1) Interpretation 12: ``Computers'' to provide guidance as to how to calculate the Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP) for computer systems with ``Non-Uniform Memory Access'' (NUMA) architecture, and to define NUMA. In the CTP formula found in Supplement No. 1 to part 774, Category 4, there are two ways to calculate the CTP values of computers with multiple processors: the shared memory and non-shared memory methods. The use of either one of these two methods was well understood back in the early 1990's when computers were either symmetric multi- processor (SMP) systems or massively parallel systems. With the advancement of high-performance and relatively inexpensive microprocessors, NUMA has emerged as a popular computer architecture. All major manufacturers offer a product line based on NUMA. Because NUMA has established itself as a dominant technology, it became necessary to clarify how the CTP values of NUMA machines should be calculated. About two years ago, the Information Systems Technical Advisory Committee (ISTAC) examined the CTP calculation for NUMA machines. A consensus was reached in the Committee to apply the non- shared method in calculating CTP values for NUMA machines. By publishing this interpretation, we harmonize across the computer industry how the CTP values of NUMA machines should be determined. Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001, Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (66 FR 44025, August 22, 2001), as extended by the Notice of August 7, 2003, (68 FR 47833, 2003 WL 21877490), continues the Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act Saving Clause Shipments of items removed from eligibility for export or reexport without a license, under a particular License Exception authorization or the designator NLR, as a result of this regulatory action, may continue to be exported or reexported under that License Exception authorization or designator until June 1, 2004. In addition, this rule revises the numbering and structure of certain entries on the Commerce Control List. For items under such entries and for July 28, 2004, BIS will accept license applications for items described either by the entries in effect immediately before April 29, 2004, or the entries described in this rule. Rulemaking Requirements 1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of E.O. 12866. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA), unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This rule involves a collection of information subject to the PRA. This collection has been approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes for a manual or electronic submission. Send comments regarding these burden estimates or any other aspect of these collections of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to OMB Desk Officer, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; and to the Office of Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, [[Page 23601]] Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Room 6883, Washington, DC 20230. 3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined under E.O. 13132. 4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs function of the United States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule under the Administrative Procedure Act or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be submitted to Sharron Cook, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
