1 U.S.. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security Export Control Reform: Implementing the Transition Kevin J. Kurland Director, Office of Enforcement Analysis Massachusetts Export Center Export Expo December 11, 2012

2 Massachusetts Exports Bureau of Industry and Security, Export Enforcement Value % of 2010 Massachusetts’s Exports Licensed Dual-Use Exports$171,959,2760.65% Licensed Munitions Exports$1,071,046,4514.07% Total Controlled Trade$1,243,005,7274.73% Total BIS License Applications (2010): 1202 Approved  9,161 companies exported; 90% were SMEs  28% of manufacturing workers depend on exports

3 Bureau of Industry and Security, Export Enforcement Export Control Reform Initiative In August 2009, the President directed a broad-based interagency review of the U.S. export control system to build: “Higher walls…around fewer, more critical items.” Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, April 20, 2010 The Administration determined that fundamental reform of the current system is necessary to enhance our national security by: (i) focusing resources on the threats that matter most (ii) increasing interoperability with our Allies (iii) strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base by reducing incentives for foreign manufacturers to design out and avoid using U.S. parts and components

4 Key Goal Is to Leverage Existing Flexibilities USMLCCL License requirementWorldwide license - CanadaRanges from worldwide license to license exceptions to no license required Exemptions/exceptionsLimitedGOV, STA, TSU, TMP, RPL, etc. De minimisNone25% / 10% RegistrationYesNo ProhibitionsITAR 126.1T-5; end-use/user controls Temporary Import ControlsAll USML itemsNone EnforcementICE, FBIBIS, ICE, FBI Bureau of Industry and Security, Export Enforcement

5 Step 1: Focus on Fewer, More Critical Items via Regulatory Reforms Bureau of Industry and Security, Export Enforcement

6 Military or Intelligence Advantage Foreign Availability Tier 1CriticalAlmost none Tier 2SubstantialRegime members Tier 3SignificantWorldwide Establishing a “bright line” between items controlled on the USML and CCL by identifying items in a “positive” manner is the key deliverable of ECR Bureau of Industry and Security, Export Enforcement

7 Regulatory Impacts: Dual-Use License Exception STA  Two groups of countries: 36 and 8 eligible destinations  Safeguards  First step in tiering the CCL  $41 million in exports impacted to date 7 CountryECCNECCN/Description ECCN Value China3B001Equipment for the Manufacturing of Semiconductor Devices$18,268,509 Qatar3A101Electronic Equipment, Devices and Components$17,879,113 Taiwan3C003Organo-inorganic Compounds$13,940,827 Taiwan3C001Hetero-epitaxial Materials$9,946,351 Great Britain 9A004Space Launch Vehicles and Space-craft$9,118,253 Top 5 Dual-Use Licensed Exports from Mass. by Destination (2010) STA Eligible

8 Regulatory Impacts: Dual-Use Bureau of Industry and Security, Export Enforcement Encryption  Replaced 30 day technical review period and sales reports for most items eligible for License Exception ENC and mass market products with registration and self-classification report 0Y521  Creation of Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 0Y521 (April 13, 2012)  Items that warrant control on the CCL but not identified in an existing ECCN  E.g., emerging technologies  Currently 9 items identified for 0Y521 controls

9 Regulatory Impacts: USML Positive List  Identify what items require USML control  Inherent military function; critical military/intelligence advantage  Convert USML into a “positive list”  Establish objective technical parameters rather than design intent to control items on USML  Items not meeting criteria “positive” USML criteria would be transferred to new “600 series” on CCL* and include:  End-items, parts, components, accessories, and attachments * Requires congressional notification 9

10 xY6zz Regulatory Impacts: Anatomy of a New “600 series” ECCN CCL Category 0-9 Product Group A-E The “600 series” derives its name from the 3 rd character (i.e., number) of the ECCN. Last two characters (i.e. numbers) will generally track the Wassenaar Arrangement

11 Anatomy of a “600 Series” ECCN (cont’d)  Items controlled  Enumerated end items  Enumerated parts and components  “Specially designed” parts and components (“.x”)  Enumerated insignificant parts and components (“.y”) 11

12 USML – Aircraft and Related Articles Federal Register Proposed Rules Bombers Fighters, fighter bombers, and fixed-wing attack aircraft Jet-powered trainers used to train pilots Attack helicopters Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) Military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft Electronic warfare, airborne warning, and control aircraft Air refueling aircraft and Strategic airlift aircraft Target drones Aircraft equipped with any mission systems controlled under this subchapter; or, Aircraft capable of being refueled in flight including hover-in-flight refueling Launching and recovery equipment Developmental aircraft and “specially designed” parts, components, accessories, and attachments therefore developed under a contract with the DoD Aircraft components, parts, accessories, attachments, and associated equipment as follows: ‒ Components, parts, accessories, attachments, and equipment “specially designed” for the following U.S.-origin aircraft: B-1B, B-2, F-5SE, F/A18E/F/G, F-22, F-35 (and variants thereof), F- 117, or U.S. Government technology demonstrators Illustrative list only Reference Federal Register / Volume 76, No. 215 / Monday, November 7, 2011 / Proposed rules, page 68697

16 Technology Controls F-16 Example  Technology controls follow the end-item, part, or component:  Technical data and services for aircraft-level design, development, engineering, manufacture, testing, and modification also remain on the USML  Technology required for design, development, and manufacture of F-16 major components, minor components, parts, accessories, and attachments that move to the “600 Series” (e.g., fuselage, wings, tail sections), also moves to Commerce controls

17 License Requirements for “600 Series”  End items: License required for export or reexport to all countries except Canada  Parts + components: STA for ultimate government end-use  “.y” items: no license required except to China and terrorist supporting countries  ITAR 126.1 countries subject to State Dept. licensing policy

18  License validity periods  General Order 5 and DDTC grandfather rules  BIS extension to 4 years  Double licensing issues  License exceptions  STA (ultimate gov’t end use), GOV, RPL, TSU, TMP  ITAR 126.1 carve-out  License review standard and consensus  Foreign direct product rule  MDE reporting  AES requirements  No post-departure filing  Special “600 series” filing requirements  ECCN requirement on DCS Other Transition Rule Issues

19 Benefits of “600 Series”  Focus controls and compliance (incl. resources)  Security of supply with allies and partners  Avoid design-out  Eliminate MLAs/TAAs  Eliminate registration requirements 19 USML “defense articles” CCL “600 series” items End-itemsWorldwide license - Canada Identified P+CWorldwide license - Canada License Exception STA Specifically/specially designed P+C Worldwide license - Canada (“.x”) License Exception STA Insignificant P+CWorldwide license - Canada (“.y”) NLR except T-5 + China De minimisNone25% except ITAR 126.1 countries RegistrationYesNo ProhibitionsITAR 126.1 Exemptions/ exceptions limitedGOV, STA (ultimate government end-use), TSU, TMP, RPL Temporary Import Controls All USML itemsNone

20 Impact Analysis  BIS processed ~25,000 licenses in 2011  State processed ~85,000 licenses in 2011  BIS estimates that approximately 50% of State licenses will contain items moving to the 600 series  Of that 40,000, at least 50% are estimated to be eligible for License Exception STA  Total Mass. munitions exports (2010): $1,071,046,451 Bureau of Industry and Security, Export Enforcement CategoryDescriptionValue CAT IFirearms $26,820,263 CAT III Launch Vehicles, Guided Missiles, Ballistic Missiles, Rockets, Torpedoes, Bombs and Mines $241,111,540 CAT VIIIAircraft and Associated Equipment $221,361,942 CAT XIMilitary Electronics $135,941,982 CAT XII Fire Control, Range Finder, Optical and Guidance and Control Equipment $146,891,041 CAT XXII Miscellaneous Articles $13,431,461 Sample of Munitions Exports from Mass (2010)
