Easing of Export Restrictions on North Korea
AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.
ACTION: Interim rule with request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) is amending the
Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the President's
statement of September 17, 1999 easing sanctions against North Korea.
The United States is taking this action in order to pursue improved
overall relations.
DATES: This rule is effective June 19, 2000. Comments must be received
no later than July 19, 2000.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Kirsten Mortimer,
Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Export Administration, Department
of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James A. Lewis, Director, Office of
Strategic Trade, at (202) 482-0092.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 17, 1999, the President announced his decision to ease
sanctions against North Korea. The United States is taking this action,
which is consistent with the 1994 Agreed Framework and the 1999 Perry
Report, in order to pursue improved overall relations.
Under this new policy, most items subject to the EAR designated as
EAR99 may be exported or reexported to North Korea without a license.
In addition, BXA is changing the licensing policy for certain items on
the Commerce Control List (CCL) destined to North Korean civil end-
users from a policy of denial to case-by-case review.
This regulation adds certain categories of items to the CCL for
which a license will be required to North Korea. Consequently, this
regulation identifies certain Export Control Classification Numbers
(ECCNs) that are controlled for anti-terrorism (AT) reasons to North
Korea only. These new ECCNs do not refer to any column on the Country
Chart and therefore exporters are not required to consult the Country
Chart in Supplement No. 1 to part 738 to determine licensing
requirements for these entries.
This easing of sanctions does not affect U.S. anti-terrorism or
nonproliferation export controls on North Korea, including end-user and
end-use controls maintained under the Enhanced Proliferation Control
Initiative. This does not relieve exporters or reexporters of their
obligations under General Prohibition 5 in Sec. 736.2(b)(5) of the EAR
which provides that, ``you may not, without a license, knowingly export
or reexport any item subject to the EAR to an end-user or end-use that
is prohibited by part 744 of the EAR.'' BXA strongly urges the use of
Supplement No. 3 to part 732 of the EAR, ``BXA's ``Know Your Customer''
Guidance and Red Flags'' when exporting or reexporting to North Korea.
This rule does not affect the export license denial policy imposed
under the Arms Export Control Act, as amended, and the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended, in place against Changgwang
Sinyong Corporation and its subunits, successors, and affiliated
companies, and certain sectors of North Korean government-related
activity, set forth in 63 FR 24585 (May 4, 1998) and more recently in
65 FR 20239 (April 14, 2000). This license denial policy requires BXA
to deny license applications submitted for exports to Changgwang
Sinyong Corporation and the related entities listed above. This entity
is not on the Entity List (see Supp. No. 4 to part 744) and does not
appear on the list of projects in Supp. No. 1 to part 740 which have
the effect of triggering a license requirement for items subject to the
EAR (e.g., including all items classified as EAR99).
Although the Export Administration Act (EAA) expired on August 20,
1994, the President invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers
Act and continued in effect the EAR, and, to the extent permitted by
law, the provisions of the EAA in Executive Order 12924 of August 19,
1994, as extended by the President's notices of August 15, 1995 (60 FR
42767), August 14, 1996 (61 FR 42527), August 13, 1997 (62 FR 43629),
August 13, 1998 (63 FR 44121), and August 10, 1999 (64 F.R. 44101).
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This interim rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 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 (PRA), unless that
collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number. This rule involves collections of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) These
collections have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget
under control number 0694-0088.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under
Executive Order 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. See 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 interim rule. Because
a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment
are not required to be given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. or by any
other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable.
However, because of the importance of the issues raised by these
regulations, this rule is issued in interim form and comments will be
considered in the development of final regulations. Accordingly, the
Department encourages interested persons who wish to comment to do so
at the earliest possible time to permit the fullest consideration of
their views.
The period for submission of comments will close July 19, 2000. The
Department will consider all comments received before the close of the
comment period in developing final regulations. Comments received after
the end of the comment period will be considered if possible, but their
consideration cannot be assured. The Department will not accept public
comments accompanied by a request that a part or all of the material be
treated confidentially because of its business proprietary nature or
for any other reason. The Department will return such comments and
materials to the person submitting the comments and will not consider
them in the development of final regulations. All public comments on
these regulations will be a matter of public record and
[[Page 38149]]
will be available for public inspection and copying. In the interest of
accuracy and completeness, the Department requires comments in written
form.
Oral comments must be followed by written memoranda, which will
also be a matter of public record and will be available for public
review and copying. Communications from agencies of the United States
Government or foreign governments will not be made available for public
inspection.
The public record concerning these regulations will be maintained
in the Bureau of Export Administration Freedom of Information Records
Inspection Facility, Room 6881, Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. Records in this
facility, including written public comments and memoranda summarizing
the substance of oral communications, may be inspected and copied in
accordance with regulations published in part 4 of title 15 of the Code
of Federal Regulations. Information about the inspection and copying of
records at the facility may be obtained from the Bureau of Export
Administration Freedom of Information Officer, at the above address or
by calling (202) 482-0500.

(3) In support of U.S. foreign policy on terrorism-supporting
countries, BXA maintains two types of anti-terrorism controls on the
export and reexport of items described in Supplement 2 to part 742.
(i) Items described in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of
Supplement No. 2 to part 742 are controlled under section 6(j) of the
Export Administration Act, as amended (EAA), if destined to military,
police, intelligence or other sensitive end-users.

Supplement No. 2 to part 742 destined to non-sensitive end-users, as
well as items described in paragraph (c)(6) through (c)(44) to all end-
users, are controlled to North Korea under section 6(a) of the EAA.
(See Supplement No. 2 to part 742 for more information on items
controlled under sections 6(a) and 6(j) of the EAA and Sec. 750.6 of
the EAR for procedures for processing license applications for items
controlled under EAA section 6(j).)
(b) Licensing policy. (1) Applications for export and reexport to
all end-users in North Korea of the following items will generally be
denied:
(i) Items controlled for chemical and biological weapons
proliferation reasons to any destination. These items contain CB Column
1, CB Column 2, or CB Column 3 in the Country Chart column of the
``License Requirements'' section of an ECCN on the CCL.
(ii) Items controlled for missile proliferation reasons to any
destination. These items have an MT Column 1 in the Country Chart
column of the ``License Requirements'' section of an ECCN on the CCL.

(2) Applications for export and reexport to North Korea of all
other items described in paragraph (a) of this section, and not
described by paragraph (b)(1) of this section, will generally be denied
if the export or reexport is destined to a military end-user or for
military end-use. Applications for non-military end-users or for non-

(3) Applications for export and reexport to North Korea of items
described in paragraphs (c)(12), (c)(24), (c)(34), (c)(37), (c)(38),
and (c)(44) of Supplement No. 2 to part 742 will generally be denied if

[[Page 38152]]
users or nuclear end-uses. Applications for non-nuclear end-users or

of Supplement No. 2 to part 742, will be considered on a case-by-case
basis.
(4) License applications for items reviewed under section 6(a)
controls will also be reviewed to determine the applicability of
section 6(j) controls to the transaction. When it is determined that an
export or reexport could make a significant contribution to the
military potential of North Korea, including its military logistics
capability, or could enhance North Korea's ability to support acts of
international terrorism, the Secretaries of State and Commerce will
notify the Congress 30 days prior to issuance of a license.
27. Supplement No. 2 to Part 742 is revised to read as follows:
Supplement No. 2 to Part 742--Anti-Terrorism Controls: Iran, North
Korea, Syria and Sudan Contract Sanctity Dates and Related Policies
Note: Exports and reexports of items in performance of contracts
entered into before the applicable contract sanctity date(s) will be
eligible for review on a case-by-case basis or other applicable
licensing policies that were in effect prior to the contract
sanctity date. The contract sanctity dates set forth in this
Supplement are for the guidance of exporters. Contract sanctity
dates are established in the course of the imposition of foreign
policy controls on specific items and are the relevant dates for the
purpose of licensing determinations involving such items. If you
believe that a specific contract sanctity date is applicable to your
transaction, you should include all relevant information with your
license application. BXA will determine any applicable contract
sanctity date at the time an application with relevant supporting
documents is submitted.
(a) Terrorist-supporting countries. The Secretary of State has
designated Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria as
countries whose governments have repeatedly provided support for acts
of international terrorism under section 6(j) of the Export
Administration Act (EAA).
(b) Items controlled under EAA sections 6(j) and 6(a). Whenever the
Secretary of State determines that an export or reexport to any of
these countries could make a significant contribution to the military
potential of such country, including its military logistics capability,
or could enhance the ability of such country to support acts of
international terrorism, the item is subject to mandatory control under
EAA section 6(j) and the Secretaries of Commerce and State are required
to notify appropriate Committees of the Congress 30 days before a
license for such an item may be issued.
(1) On December 28, 1993, the Secretary of State determined that
the export to Cuba, Libya, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria of
items described in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of this Supplement,
if destined to military, police, intelligence or other sensitive end-
users, are controlled under EAA section 6(j). Therefore, the 30-day
advance Congressional notification requirement applies to the export or
reexport of these items to sensitive end-users in any of these
countries.
(2) License applications for items controlled to designated
terrorist-supporting countries under EAA section 6(a) will also be
reviewed to determine whether the Congressional notification
requirements of EAA section 6(j) apply.
(3) Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons under section 6(a)
to Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria are:
(i) Items described in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) to non-
sensitive end-users, and
(ii) The following items to all end-users: for Iran, items in
paragraphs (c)(6) through (c)(42) of this Supplement; for North Korea,
items in paragraph (c)(6) through (c)(44) of this Supplement; for
Sudan, items in paragraphs (c)(6) through (c)(14), and (c)(16) through
(c)(42) of this Supplement; and for Syria, items in paragraphs (c)(6)
through (c)(8), (c)(10) through (c)(14), (c)(16) through (c)(19), and
(c)(22) through (c)(42) of this Supplement.
(c) The license requirements and licensing policies for items
controlled for anti-terrorism reasons to Iran, Syria, Sudan, and North
Korea are generally described in Secs. 742.8, 742.9, 742.10, and 742.19
of this part, respectively. This Supplement provides guidance on
licensing policies for Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Sudan and related
contract sanctity dates that may be available for transactions
benefitting from pre-existing contracts involving Iran, Syria, and
Sudan. Exporters are advised that the Treasury Department's Office of
Foreign Assets Control administers a comprehensive trade and investment
embargo against Iran (See Executive Orders 12957, 12959 and 13059 of
March 15, 1995, May 6, 1995 and August 19, 1997, respectively.)
Exporters are further advised that exports and reexports to Iran of
items that are listed on the CCL as requiring a license for national
security or foreign policy reasons are subject to a policy of denial
under the Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act of October 23, 1992 (50
U.S.C. 1701 note (1994)). Transactions involving Iran and benefitting
from a contract that pre-dates October 23, 1992 may be considered under
the applicable licensing policy in effect prior to that date.
