Implementation of Certain New Controls on Emerging Technologies 
Agreed at Wassenaar Arrangement 2018 Plenary

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security maintains, as part of its 
Export Administration Regulations, the Commerce Control List (CCL), 
which identifies certain items subject to Department of Commerce's 
jurisdiction. This final rule revises the CCL to implement certain 
changes made to the Wassenaar Arrangement 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, or WA) at the 
December 2018 WA Plenary meeting. The Wassenaar Arrangement advocates 
implementation of effective export controls on strategic items with the 
objective of improving regional and international security and 
stability. This rule harmonizes the CCL with only the agreements on 
recently developed or developing technologies not previously controlled 
that are essential to the national security of the United States and 
warrant early implementation. The remaining agreements will be 
implemented in a separate rule.

DATES: This rule is effective May 23, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms 
and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Wassenaar or WA) (http://www.wassenaar.org/) is a group of 42 like-minded states committed to 
promoting responsibility and transparency in the global arms trade, and 
preventing destabilizing accumulations of arms. As a Participating 
State, the United States has committed to controlling for export all 
items on the WA control lists. The control lists, which include the 
Wassenaar Arrangement Munitions List and the Wassenaar Arrangement List 
of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies, were first established in 1996 and 
have been revised annually thereafter. Proposals for changes to the WA 
control lists are reviewed by Participating States at expert group and 
annual plenary meetings. Participating States are charged with 
implementing the agreed list changes as soon as possible after 
approval. The United States' implementation of WA list changes ensures 
U.S. companies have a level playing field with their competitors in 
other WA Participating States.
    This rule adds to the EAR's Commerce Control List (CCL) five 
recently developed or developing technologies that are essential to the 
national security of the United States: discrete microwave transistors 
(a major component of wideband semiconductors), continuity of operation 
software, post-quantum cryptography, underwater transducers designed to 
operate as hydrophones, and air-launch platforms.

Revisions to the Commerce Control List Related to WA 2018 Plenary 
Agreements

    Revises (4) ECCNs: 3A001, 5A002, 6A001 and 9A004.
    Added ECCNs: 3D005.

3A001 Electronic Items

    ECCN 3A001 is amended by adding paragraph b.3.f to control discrete 
microwave transistors ``rated for operation with a peak saturated power 
output greater than 5 W (37.0 dBm) at all frequencies exceeding 8.5 GHz 
up to and including 31.8 GHz''. While older devices specified limited 
frequency ranges, new microwave transistors cover wider frequency bands 
at higher power levels, opening up new possibilities for radar and 
other transmitting applications.
    Note 1 that appears after paragraph b.3.f is revised, so that it 
does not apply to new paragraph b.3.f, meaning that the control status 
of a transistor in b.3.f is not determined by the lowest peak saturated 
power output control threshold.
    Discrete microwave transistors are used in microwave semiconductors 
and are applicable for both civilian use, such as mobile phone base 
stations and weather radars, and military use, such as fire control 
radars, decoys and jammers. Discrete microwave transistors are also 
increasingly used in wideband semiconductors, which have less power 
output and are more energy-efficient than the narrowband 
semiconductors. These features permit wideband semiconductors to 
operate at much higher voltages, frequencies and temperatures than 
conventional semiconductors. The wideband semiconductor is mainly used 
for military applications, such as electronic counter-measures for 
decoys, jammers and military radars, because it has a fractional 
bandwidth greater than 100%, and can enable a wide range of military 
radars, seekers, decoys and jammers. However, there are also instances 
of wideband semiconductors being used in civilian applications, such as 
to make green and blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, which 
are used in DVD players (the Blu-ray and HD DVD formats). Wideband 
semiconductors will likely be a technology used in new electrical grid 
and alternative energy devices, in which such semiconductors will 
reduce energy loss and enable longer performance life in solar and wind 
energy power converters and eliminate bulky grid substation 
transformers. In addition, these robust and efficient power components 
are expected to be used in high energy vehicles, including electric 
trains and plug-in electric vehicles. It has been predicted that 
wideband semiconductors will facilitate simpler and higher efficiency 
charging for hybrid and all-electric vehicles.
    These discrete microwave transistors are subject to National 
Security (NS Column 1), Regional Stability (RS Column 1) and Anti-
terrorism (AT Column 1) license requirements, except those being 
exported or reexported for use in civil telecommunications 
applications, as indicated on the Commerce Country Chart in Supplement 
No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR. List-based license exceptions (Limited 
Value Shipment (LVS) and Group B Shipments (GBS) and Strategic Trade 
Authorization (STA), see part 740 of the EAR), are available for those 
discrete microwave transistors that are being exported or reexported 
for use in civil telecommunications applications that meet the criteria 
of the license

[[Page 23887]]

exception and where none of the license exception restrictions of Sec.  
740.2 apply. Transaction-based license exceptions may be available 
depending on the transaction meeting the license exception criteria; 
see part 740 of the EAR.

3D005 Continuity of Operation Software

    ECCN 3D005 is added to the CCL in order to control software that 
ensures continuity of operation when electronics are exposed to 
Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) or Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). The 
software is controlled for national security and anti-terrorism reasons 
and a license is required worldwide, except for Canada, under national 
security (NS Column 1) and Anti-terrorism (AT Column 1) license 
requirements as indicated on the Commerce Country Chart, Supplement no. 
1 to part 738 of the EAR. No list-based license exceptions are 
applicable; however, License Exception Strategic Trade Authorization 
(STA) is available for countries listed in Country Group A:5, see 
Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR.
    Research and development activities related to integrated circuit 
software that provides electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protective function 
to electronic devices is currently underway, and it is predicted that 
these products will be in the commercial marketplace in a few years. 
Because continuity of operation software would also be beneficial to 
military applications, it is being added to the CCL in this final rule.

Category 5--Part 2--``Information Security''

    ECCN 5A002 is amended in order to add a control on certain types of 
post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. This rule adds paragraph 2.c of 
the Technical Notes that follow paragraph 5A002.a.4 to include a new 
paragraph addressing certain post-quantum asymmetric algorithms. This 
rule also revises paragraphs 5A002.a, a.4, paragraph 2 of the Technical 
Notes that follow paragraph 5A002.a.4, paragraph a.1.a.1.b in Note 2 to 
5A002.a, and paragraph (4)(a) of Related Controls to 5A002, to replace 
the term `in excess of 56 bits of symmetric key length, or equivalent' 
with `described security algorithm'. These changes are being made for 
technical accuracy since methods for establishing equivalence between 
modern classical and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) are not settled. 
In addition, this rule revises the Nota Bene to Note 3 (the 
Cryptography Note) to specify that items that include post-quantum 
asymmetric algorithms described by paragraph 2.c of the Technical Notes 
are subject to the classification or self-classification reporting 
requirements for mass market items.
    The WA cryptography controls reflect the development and 
application of modern cryptography. Currently, the WA includes controls 
over the most commonly-used forms of cryptography in the contemporary 
world: symmetric algorithms based on key length; and asymmetric 
algorithms based on factorization of integers or on the computation of 
discrete logarithms (over various groups). These controls are defined 
in the Technical Note 2 to 5A002.a of the CCL.
    The WA introduced specific parameters for the export control of 
cryptography in 1998, along with a general Category 5--Part 2 exclusion 
for `mass market' encryption products (Cryptography Note, Note 3), in 
recognition of the increasing use of cryptography in the public domain. 
While the structure of Category 5--Part 2 of the WA has evolved 
significantly since 1998, the algorithms addressed have remained 
unchanged.
    These algorithms continue to provide adequate protection for 
encrypted data, based on the threat posed by attack by a non-quantum 
computer. However, if and when large scale quantum computers are built, 
they will likely undermine the security of current cryptographic 
systems.
    One goal of PQC is to develop and deploy quantum-resistant 
algorithms well in advance of a potential attack from a quantum 
computer. As the threat of quantum computers grows nearer, cryptography 
researchers are developing algorithms and working towards standardizing 
algorithms that resist attack from existing known quantum algorithms 
(such as Shor's Algorithm). PQC is currently in use in commercial 
products, but those algorithms are not covered by any WA controls. 
Because such algorithms are becoming increasingly common, this control 
is being added to ensure that there is consistent treatment and a level 
playing field between modern classical and post-quantum cryptography.
    5A002.a is subject to national security (NS Column 1), anti-
terrorism (AT Column 1) and encryption items (EI) license requirements, 
as indicated on the Commerce Country Chart in Supplement no. 1 to part 
738 of the EAR. Because this new control is added to 5A002.a with 
corresponding applicability to EI-controlled ECCNs 5D002.a.1, 5D002.c.1 
and 5E002.a, BIS has determined that no changes to License Exception 
ENC are required to accommodate this change. Items with post-quantum 
algorithms described by the technical note are treated the same under 
License Exception ENC as products using classical algorithms.

6A001 Acoustic Systems, Equipment and ``Components''

    ECCN 6A001 is amended by moving the Note previously located below 
Item paragraph a.2.g.4 to below the introductory Item paragraph a.2 for 
better readability. This Note informs the public that Item paragraph 
a.2 ``applies to receiving equipment, whether or not related in normal 
application to separate active equipment, and ``specially designed'' 
components therefor''. This rule also adds a Technical Note 2 after 
paragraph a.2.a to alert the public that underwater acoustic 
transducers designed to operate as passive receivers are hydrophones. 
This rule revises paragraph a.2.a.6 to add the parameter ``and having a 
`hydrophone sensitivity' better than -230 dB below 4 kHz'', to remove 
any transducers or hydrophones that are not of strategic concern.
    An underwater transducer that is designed to operate as a 
hydrophone, designed for operation below 1000 m and having a useful 
sensitivity below 4 kHz, must be controlled because of its utility in 
Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW). These amendments will bridge the control 
gap that previously treated underwater acoustic transducers and 
receivers separately. Newer underwater acoustic devices can more 
readily operate in both transmit and receive mode. The new control 
structure resulting from these amendments allows each aspect of these 
multifunction devices to be evaluated.
    This rule also corrects a License Exception LVS paragraph for 
6A001.a.1.b.1 by reversing the frequency band range for the equipment 
from ``30 kHz to 2 kHz'' to read ``2 kHz to 30 kHz''. All items in ECCN 
6A001 are subject to national security (NS Column 2) and anti-terrorism 
(AT Column 1) license requirements as indicated in the Commerce Country 
Chart in Supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR. License Exception Low 
Value Shipment (LVS) may be available depending on the operating 
frequency. License Exception Strategic Trade Authorization (STA) and 
transaction-based license exceptions may also be available depending on 
the circumstances of the transaction and the destination; see part 740 
of the EAR.

[[Page 23888]]

9A004 Space Launch Vehicles and ``Spacecraft'', ``Spacecraft Buses'', 
``Spacecraft Payloads'', ``Spacecraft'' On-Board Systems or Equipment, 
and Terrestrial Equipment

    ECCN 9A004 is amended by revising the Heading to add air-launch 
platforms. This rule adds new Item paragraph 9A004.g, which controls 
``aircraft'' ``specially designed'' or modified to be air-launch 
platforms for space launch vehicles (SLV). The license requirements 
table is revised to add 9A004.g to the NS and AT license requirements 
paragraphs.
    Several commercial entities are building space-bound craft that 
will utilize an air-launch rather than traditional ground launch. This 
new Item paragraph expands existing space-launch controls to include 
this developing technology. Originally, military aircraft were used for 
air-launched rockets to carry satellites specifically for military 
applications. Now, air-launch platforms allow the use of specialized 
commercial aircraft instead of rockets or military aircraft to 
facilitate the transport and launch of commercial satellites. The 
increase in commercial space activities has commercial satellite owners 
and space tourism companies moving toward air-launch platforms to 
support their endeavours.
    Items specified in 9A004.g require a license for national security 
(NS Column 1) and anti-terrorism reasons (AT Column 1) as indicated on 
the Commerce Country Chart in Supplement no. 1 to part 738 of the EAR. 
There are no list-based license exceptions, but transaction-based 
license exceptions may be available; see part 740 of the EAR.

Export Control Reform Act of 2018

    On August 13, 2018, the President signed into law the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which 
included the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) (50 U.S.C. 4801 
to 4852) that provides the legal basis for BIS's principal authorities. 
As set forth in Section 4826 of ECRA, all delegations, rules, 
regulations, orders, determinations, licenses, or other forms of 
administrative action that have been made, issued, conducted, or 
allowed to become effective under the Export Administration Act of 1979 
(50 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.) and as continued in effect pursuant to the 
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), 
shall continue in effect according to their terms until modified, 
superseded, set aside, or revoked under the authority of the ECRA.

Saving Clause

    Shipments of items removed from license exception eligibility or 
eligibility for export, reexport or transfer (in-country) without a 
license as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock for 
loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting carrier, or en route 
aboard a carrier to a port of export, on May 23, 2019, pursuant to 
actual orders for exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) to a 
foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous 
license exception eligibility or without a license so long as they have 
been exported, reexported or transferred (in-country) before July 22, 
2019. Any such items not actually exported, reexported or transferred 
(in-country) before midnight, on July 22, 2019, require a license in 
accordance with this final rule.

Executive Order Requirements

    Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive 
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility.
    This rule has been designated a ``significant regulatory action'' 
under Executive Order 12866. The Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) has been 
established in order to contribute 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. The aim is 
also to prevent the acquisition of these items by terrorists. There are 
presently 42 Participating States, including the United States, that 
seek through their national policies to ensure that transfers of these 
items do not contribute to the development or enhancement of military 
capabilities that undermine these goals, and to ensure that these items 
are not diverted to support such military capabilities that undermine 
these goals. Implementation of the WA agreements in a timely manner 
enhances the national security of the United States and global 
international trade.
    This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as 
that term is defined under Executive Order 13132.
    This rule is not subject to the requirements of Executive Order 
13771 (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017) because it is issued with respect 
to a national security function of the United States.

Paperwork Reduction Act Requirements

    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 the following OMB approved collections of 
information subject to the PRA: 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose 
Application'', and carries a burden hour estimate of 29.6 minutes for a 
manual or electronic submission; 0694-0106, ``Reporting and 
Recordkeeping Requirements under the Wassenaar Arrangement'', which 
carries a burden hour estimate of 21 minutes for a manual or electronic 
submission; 0694-0137 ``License Exceptions and Exclusions'', which 
carries a burden hour estimate average of 1.5 hours per submission 
(Note: submissions for License Exceptions are rarely required); 0694-
0096 ``Five Year Records Retention Period'', which carries a burden 
hour estimate of less than 1 minute; and 0607-0152 ``Automated Export 
System (AES) Program, which carries a burden hour estimate of 3 minutes 
per electronic submission. Specific license application submission 
estimates are discussed further in the preamble of this rule where the 
revision is explained. BIS estimates that revisions that are editorial, 
moving the location of control text on the Commerce Control List, or 
clarifications will result in no change in license application 
submissions.
    Any comments regarding these collections of information, including 
suggestions for reducing the burden, may be sent to OMB Desk Officer, 
New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503; and to Jasmeet K. 
Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), by email to 
Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.eop.gov, or by fax to (202) 395-7285.

Administrative Procedure Act and Regulatory Flexibility Act 
Requirements

    Pursuant to Sec.  4821 of the ECRA, this action is exempt from the 
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requirements for notice of 
proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in 
effective date. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an 
opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this 
rule by 5 U.S.C. 553, or by any other law, the analytical requirements 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., are not 
applicable. Accordingly, no regulatory flexibility analysis is 
required, and none has been prepared.

aggregated and the ``sample rate'' is the maximum rate of any single 
channel.

    Technical Notes:
    1. `Spurious Free Dynamic Range' (SFDR) is defined as the ratio 
of the RMS value of the carrier frequency (maximum signal component) 
at the input of the DAC to the RMS value of the next largest noise 
or harmonic distortion component at its output.
    2. SFDR is determined directly from the specification table or

greater than -3 dBfs (full scale).
    4. `Adjusted update rate' for DACs is:
    a. For conventional (non-interpolating) DACs, the `adjusted 
update rate' is the rate at which the digital signal is converted to 
an analog signal and the output analog values are changed by the 
DAC. For DACs where the interpolation mode may be bypassed 
(interpolation factor of one), the DAC should be considered as a 
conventional (non-interpolating) DAC.
    b. For interpolating DACs (oversampling DACs), the `adjusted 
update rate' is defined as the DAC update rate divided by the 
smallest interpolating factor. For interpolating DACs, the `adjusted 
update rate' may be referred to by different terms including:

input/outputs, whether the integrated circuit is packaged or bare 
die.
