Addition of Certain Entities to the Entity List; Correction

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) publishes these 
amendments to correct three errors contained in the revisions to the 
Entity List that were published in a final rule on February 14, 2022. 
That final rule amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by 
revising the Entity List entry for ``Huawei Cloud Brazil'' (under 
Brazil) and by adding a new entry for ``Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.'' 
(under China, People's Republic of). However, the references to the 
foreign direct product provisions in the EAR that apply to these two 
entities were incorrect. This rule amends the entries for the two 
entities to include the correct references to these EAR provisions and 
also corrects a typographical error in one of these entries.

DATES: This rule is effective April 11, 2022. This rule is applicable 
as of February 14, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chair, End-User Review Committee, 
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Export Administration, Bureau of 
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, Phone: 202-482-5991; 
Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Entity List in supplement no. 4 to part 
744 of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR parts 730-
774) identifies entities for which there is reasonable cause to 
believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that the entities 
have been involved, are involved, or pose a significant risk of being 
or becoming involved in activities contrary to the national security or 
foreign policy interests of the United States. The EAR impose 
additional license requirements on, and limit the availability of most 
license exceptions for, exports, reexports and transfers (in-country) 
to listed entities. These additional license requirements are 
referenced, together with other relevant EAR provisions, in the 
``License requirement'' column for each entity. The license review 
policy for each listed entity is identified in the ``License review 
policy'' column for that entity on the Entity List, and the impact on 
the availability of license exceptions is described in the relevant 
Federal Register document adding the entities to the Entity List. BIS 
places entities on the Entity List pursuant to part 744 (Control 
Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) and part 746 (Embargoes and Other 
Special Controls) of the EAR.
    The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of 
the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where 
appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions regarding additions to, 
removals from, or other modifications to the Entity List. The ERC makes 
all decisions to add an entry to the Entity List by majority vote and 
makes all

[[Page 21012]]

decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote.
    On February 14, 2022 (87 FR 8180), BIS published a final rule 
titled ``Addition of Certain Entities to the Entity List,'' which 
amended the Entity List by, inter alia, revising the entry for ``Huawei 
Cloud Brazil'' (under Brazil) and adding a new entry for ``Huawei 
Technologies Co., Ltd.'' (under China, People's Republic of). However, 
the references to certain EAR foreign direct product provisions that 
were identified in the ``License requirement'' column for each of these 
entities were incorrect. Specifically, the ``License requirement'' 
column for each of these entries incorrectly referenced Sec.  
736.2(b)(3)(vi) of the EAR, instead of Sec.  734.9(e) of the EAR.
    The references to Sec.  734.9(e) of the EAR were added to a number 
of entities on the Entity List, replacing previous references to Sec.  
736.2(b)(3)(vi) of the EAR, by a final rule that BIS published in the 
Federal Register on February 3, 2022 (87 FR 6022). That final rule 
consolidated the foreign direct product (FDP) provisions in Sec.  734.9 
of the EAR. Prior to the publication of the February 3, 2022, final 
rule (hereinafter, the ``FDP rule''), the FDP provisions of the EAR 
were found in Sec.  736.2(b)(3) (General Prohibition 3) and footnote 1 
to supplement no. 4 to part 744 (the Entity List). The FDP rule 
relocated the license requirement, license review policy, and license 
exception applicability provisions for certain listed entities from the 
Entity List's footnote 1 to Sec.  744.11(a) of the EAR, where the 
overall license requirements pertaining to listed entities are located. 
In addition, the FDP rule moved the description of the product scope 
and end-user scope of the Entity List FDP requirements from the 
aforementioned footnote 1 to Sec.  734.9 of the EAR, where the FDP 
provisions are now consolidated. However, the scope of the global 
amendatory instruction that made conforming changes to the Entity List 
table in supplement no. 4 to part 744 did not include the entry for 
``Huawei Cloud Brazil'' (under Brazil). As a result, the reference to 
Sec.  736.2(b)(3), in the ``License requirement'' column for this 
entity was not removed and replaced with a reference to Sec.  734.9(e) 
as should have been the case.
    Although the February 14, 2022, Entity List rule included a 
revision of the entry for ``Huawei Cloud Brazil'' (under Brazil), the 
rule inadvertently failed to change the reference in the ``License 
requirement'' column for this entity from Sec.  736.2(b)(3) to Sec.  
734.9(e). Furthermore, the addition of a new entry for ``Huawei 
Technologies Co., Ltd.'' (under China, People's Republic of) to the 
Entity List, also incorrectly referenced Sec.  736.2(b)(3), instead of 
Sec.  734.9(e), in the ``License requirement'' column for the entity.
    These correcting amendments revise the ``License requirement'' 
column in each of the aforementioned Entity List entries to correctly 
reference Sec.  734.9(e), instead of Sec.  736.2(b)(3). These 
amendments also correct a typographical error, in the ``License 
requirement'' column for ``Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.'' (under 
China, People's Republic of), by revising the phrase ``except for'' to 
read ``EXCEPT\2\ for'', consistent with the application of Entity List 
footnote 2 to this entity (i.e., with respect to the provision of 
ongoing security research critical to maintaining the integrity and 
reliability of an existing and currently fully operational `third 
party' network and equipment providing services to the `third party's' 
customers--in this instance, the term `third party' refers to a party 
that is not Huawei, one of its listed non-U.S. affiliates, or the 
exporter, reexporter, or transferor, but rather an organization such as 
a telecommunications service provider).
