US Muni(ons List (USML) Category XII: Final Rule
2/1/17
USML Category XII
• High-‐level changes – Use of “specially designed” for many entries rather than specific parameters or performance capability
– Introduc0on of “specially designed for a military end user” for certain entries
– Movement of most parts and components within Cat XII to XII(e)
– Removal of text carving out see-‐through rule from XII(c) and XII(e)
– Increased clarity that technology and socware jurisdic0on follow the commodity
8 2/1/17
“Specially Designed for a Military End User” • Seven entries in USML Category XII use the language, “specially
designed for a military end user” – Applies only to XII(b)(6), (c)(1)(iii), (c)(3), (c)(4)(ii), (c)(5), (c)(6)(viii)(b),
and (c)(7)(ii) – Applica0on of this control text differs from the normal use of specially
designed (i.e., specially designed for a defense ar0cle) • The Note to Cat XII describes how to apply this standard
– Apply paragraph (a)(1) of “specially designed” for the catch and the defini0on of “military end user” in the Note to Cat XII
– Only available releases: • 1) The item was developed for use by both military and non-‐military end users • 2) The item was developed for no specific end user
– Contemporaneous documenta0on of design intent is required for those releases
– If an item originally developed for a military end user has transi0oned to normal commercial use, then one may submit a CJ request to determine if the item should remain on the USML
9 2/1/17
Defini0on of “Specially Designed”
ITAR paragraph (a) catches
10
(a)(1) Catches any item that, as a result of “development,” has proper0es peculiarly responsible for achieving or exceeding the performance levels, characteris0cs, or func0ons in the relevant USML paragraph
(a)(2) Catches any part, component, accessory, or a8achment that is for use in or with a defense ar0cle
2/1/17

No(ce of Inquiry: Commerce Companion Proposals
19 2/1/17
Sec0on 734.4 “De Minimis U.S. Content” for
0A919 Foreign Military Commodi0es
• As of December 31, 2016. Consistent with the February 19, 2016 proposed rule, the October 12 final rule broadened the scope of ECCN 0A919 to include incorporated infrared detec0on items in ECCNs 6A002, 6A003, 6A990, or 6A993.a (having a maximum frame rate equal to or less than 9 Hz and thus mee0ng the criterion of Note 3.a to 6A003.b.4) and limited the des0na0ons subject to the no de minimis provision to Group D:5 countries.
Sec0on 734.4 “De Minimis U.S. Content” for
0A919 Foreign Military Commodi0es
• Poten0al Revision. Expand the des0na0ons subject to the no de minimis provision to “any des0na0on, except Canada,” for non-‐U.S. military commodi0es (0A919) to those that incorporate any of the following: (1) Image intensifier tubes having a figure of merit (FOM) exceeding 1,400 lp/mm (line pairs per millimeter); (2) an infrared focal plane array (FPA) with format exceeding 75,000 detector elements, or (3) related infrared focal plane array read-‐out integrated circuit having more than 75,000 unit cells. FOM would be defined as the product of the tube's signal to noise ra0o (SNR) and limi0ng resolu0on (FOM = SNR (unitless) × Limi0ng Resolu0on (lp/mm) and is a term of art regularly associated with exports of image intensifier tubes and related devices subject to the ITAR.
Strategy on Possible Comments
• Is this a workable de minimis provision, or is it too complex?
• Should 0A919 items incorpora0ng infrared detec0on content previously described warrant stricter treatment than 0A919 items incorpora0ng purely military content subject to the EAR (600 series items)?
22
Sec0on 740.20, License Excep0on Strategic Trade Authoriza0on (STA) for Certain Night Vision Equipment To Be Embedded
• As of December 31, 2016. Consistent with the February 19, 2016 proposed rule, the October 12 final rule expanded that restric0on to include all items in the following ECCNs: 0E987; 6A002; 6A990; 6D002 (for the use of commodi0es controlled under ECCN 6A002.b); 6D003.c; 6D991 (for the development, produc0on, or use of commodi0es controlled under ECCNs 6A002, 6A003, or 6A990); 6E001 (for the development of commodi0es controlled under ECCNs 6A002 or 6A003); 6E002 (for the produc0on of commodi0es controlled under ECCNs 6A002 or 6A003); and 6E990.
Sec0on 740.20, License Excep0on Strategic Trade Authoriza0on (STA) for Certain Night Vision Equipment To Be Embedded
• Poten0al Revision. Remove STA eligibility for infrared imaging cameras controlled in ECCN 6A003.b.4 that:
• (i) Are being exported to be embedded into a higher level assembly, system or equipment; and
• (ii) incorporate two dimensional FPAs specified in either ECCN 6A002.a.3.c or ECCN 6A002.a.3.f, and that have more than 328,000 detector elements.
Strategy on Possible Comments
• Is condi0oning use of STA on end use appropriate or workable?
• If your organiza0on has used STA for these types of 6A003 cameras, how would this proposal affect your opera0ons? Would it cause (or worsen) a compe00ve disadvantage?
25
ECCN 6A993
• As of December 31, 2016. Consistent with those proposed rules, the October 12 final rule expanded the license requirement to those cameras when des0ned to a military end-‐user or to be incorporated into a military commodity.
ECCN 6A993
• Poten0al Revision. Require a license for the export, reexport or in-‐country transfer, to or in a D:5 country, of cameras that meet the criteria of Note 3 to ECCN 6A003.b.4 and incorporate a microbolometer FPA with greater than 75,000 detector elements and that are being exported to be incorporated into a higher level assembly, equipment or system.
Strategy on Possible Comments
• Is this necessary in light of the license requirement for 9 Hz cameras in § 744.9?
• Is there foreign availability of 9 Hz cameras produced in D:5 countries (e.g., China) as well as those produced in any country outside the U.S.?
• Will this lead to (or worsen) a compe00ve disadvantage for U.S. companies?
28
Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 (Commerce Control List) ECCN 3C001
• Current control status. ECCN 3C001 has NS Column 2 and AT Column 1 controls. ECCN 3C001 is not eligible for License Excep0ons GBS and CIV. Neither the May 5, 2015 nor the February 19, 2016 proposed rules included changes to the control status of ECCN 3C001.
Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 (Commerce Control List) ECCN 3C001
• Poten0al Revision. Add RS Column 1 controls (worldwide except Canada) to items in 3C001 that are III-‐V compounds of gallium or indium, and aluminum, an0mony, or arsenic, forming a strained layer superlapce having a photoluminescence signal maxima origina0ng from the superlapce in the wavelength range exceeding 3,000 nm but not exceeding 15,000 nm at a temperature less than 200 K. License review policy for RS:1 controls are found in § 742.6 of the EAR.
Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 (Commerce Control List) ECCN 3E001
• Current control status. ECCN 3E001 has the following controls: NS Column 1 applies to “technology” for items controlled by 3A001, 3A002, 3A003, 3B001, 3B002, or 3C001 to 3C006; MT Column 1 applies to “technology” for equipment controlled by 3A001 or 3A101 for MT Reasons; NP Column 1 applies to “technology” for equipment controlled by 3A001, 3A201, or 3A225 to 3A234 for NP reasons; and AT Column 1 applies to the en0re entry.
Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 (Commerce Control List) ECCN 3E001
• Poten0al Revision. Add RS Column 1 to “technology” for items in 3C001 that are III-‐V compounds of gallium or indium, and aluminum, an0mony, or arsenic forming a strained layer superlapce having a photoluminescence signal maxima origina0ng from the superlapce in the wavelength range exceeding 3,000 nm but not exceeding 15,000 nm at a temperature less than 200 K. RS Column 1 controls apply to all des0na0ons except Canada. License review policy for RS:1 controls are found in § 742.6 of the EAR. Note that License Excep0ons CIV and TSR would no longer be eligible for these specified items in ECCN 3E001, because of the addi0on of RS Column 1 controls.
Strategy on Possible Comments
• Is this control necessary and properly craced? • If necessary, should the U.S. establish a unilateral control first or try to propose a mul0lateral control under the Wassenaar Arrangement?
• Is there foreign availability for such materials and related technology outside of member states of the Wassenaar Arrangement?
33
ECCNs 6E001, 6E002 and 6E990
• Prior to December 31, 2016 and current control status. The May 5, 2015 proposed rule included a new worldwide RS control for commodi0es controlled under ECCNs 6A002 and 6A990, as well as for related socware and technology controlled under 6D002, 6D003.c, 6D991, 6E001, and 6E002. The proposed worldwide RS control would have introduced a new license requirement for such items for exports or reexports to Canada. Acer receiving extensive public comments opposing the inclusion of the worldwide RS control, the February 19, 2016 proposed rule did not retain that proposal, and as such, the final rule maintained the current controls in place for such items.
ECCNs 6E001, 6E002 and 6E990
• Proposed Revision. Add a worldwide RS control for specific technology related to components controlled under ECCN 6A002 or 6A990, as follows:
• (i) 6E001 development technology or 6E002 produc0on technology for image intensifier tubes controlled in 6A002.a.2.a or 6A002.a.2.b and their specially designed components controlled in 6A002.a.2.c, except those tubes having a mul0alkali photocathode.
• (ii) 6E001 development technology or 6E002 produc0on technology for microbolometer infrared focal plane arrays controlled in 6A002.a.3.f and two-‐dimensional infrared focal plane arrays controlled in 6A002.a.3.c.
• (iii) 6E990 development and produc0on technology for read-‐out integrated circuits specially designed for those focal plane arrays specified in ii, above (i.e., microbolometer infrared focal plane arrays controlled in 6A002.a.3.f and two-‐dimensional infrared focal plane arrays controlled in 6A002.a.3.c).
Strategy on Possible Comments
• Should this technology be controlled to Canada? • Will this proposal help or harm the U.S. and Canadian industrial bases?
• Will this proposal help or harm North American security coopera0on?
• Will this proposal influence a Canadian company’s decision on whether to source their FPAs or ROICs from a U.S. company or from a non-‐U.S. company?
