# Addition of Certain Entities to the Entity List
**AGENCY:**
Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.
**ACTION:**
Final rule.
**SUMMARY:**
This final rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding seven entities under seven entries to the Entity List. These seven entities have been determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the foreign policy or national security interests of the United States and will be listed on the Entity List under the destinations of the People's Republic of China (China), Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This final rule also modifies four existing entries on the Entity List under the destination of China.
**DATES:**
This rule is effective February 14, 2022.

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:**
**Background**
**Entity List**
The Entity List (supplement no. 4 to part 744 of the EAR) 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 (15 CFR parts 730-774) impose additional license requirements on, and limit the availability of most license exceptions for, exports, reexports, and transfers (in-country) to listed entities. The license review policy for each listed entity is identified in the “License Review Policy” column on the Entity List, and the impact on the availability of license exceptions is described in the relevant *Federal Register* document adding 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 decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote.
**ERC Entity List Decisions**
**Additions to the Entity List**
This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add seven entities under seven entries to the Entity List. The entities are located in the People's Republic of China (China), Pakistan, and the UAE. Of the seven entries, one is located in China, five are located in Pakistan, and one is located in the UAE.
The ERC determined to add Chemtech International (Private) Limited, Engineering Materials and Equipment Co., Inspectech, Value Additions (Pvt) Ltd., and X-Cilent Engineering, all under the destination of Pakistan, and Odyssey General Trading FZC, under the destination of the UAE, to the Entity List under §§ 744.2, which describes restrictions on certain nuclear end-users, and 744.11(b) of the EAR.
In addition, the ERC determined to add Jiangsu Tianyuan Metal Powder Co. Ltd. to the Entity List under §§ 744.11(b), 744.20 (license requirements that apply to certain sanctioned entities), and 746.4 (North Korea) of the EAR. The entity is added to the Entity List under the destination of China based on a determination that was made by the U.S. Department of State (84 FR 23627) that it engaged in activities that warranted the imposition of measures pursuant to Section 3 of the Iran, North Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Act (Pub. L. 106-178).
Pursuant to §§ 744.2, 744.11(b), 744.20, and 746.4 of the EAR, the ERC determined that the conduct of the above-described entities raises sufficient concerns that prior review, via the imposition of a license requirement for exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of all items subject to the EAR involving these seven entities and the possible issuance of license denials or the possible imposition of license conditions on shipments to these entities, will enhance BIS's ability to prevent violations of the EAR or otherwise protect U.S. national security or foreign policy interests.
For the entities added to the Entity List in this final rule, BIS imposes a license requirement that applies to all items subject to the EAR. In addition, no license exceptions are available for exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) to the persons being added to the Entity List in this rule. For the one entity being added to the Entity List under China, BIS imposes a license review policy of a presumption of denial. For the five entities being added under Pakistan and one entity being added under the UAE, BIS imposes the license review policy set forth in § 744.2(d) of the EAR. The acronym “a.k.a.,” which is an abbreviation of ‘also known as,’ is used in entries on the Entity List to identify aliases, thereby assisting exporters, reexporters and transferors in identifying entities on the Entity List.
For the reasons described above, this final rule adds the following seven entities under seven entries to the Entity List and includes, where appropriate, aliases:
China
• Jiangsu Tianyuan Metal Powder Co. Ltd.
Pakistan
• Chemtech International (Private) Limited;
• Engineering Materials and Equipment Co.;
• Inspectech;
• Value Additions (Pvt) Ltd.; *and*
• X-Cilent Engineering
United Arab Emirates
• Odyssey General Trading FZC
**Revisions to the Entity List**
This rule revises the Entity List entries of Huawei Cloud Brazil, under the destination of Brazil, and Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and Wavelet, under the destination of China. This final rule corrects a typographical error in the city name for the address listed for the existing entity for Huawei Cloud Brazil. This final rule also revises the entry for Wavelet by adding the punctuation necessary to delineate between the addresses that are already listed. This corrects an error made in the original publication of the rule adding Wavelet to the Entity List, which failed to separate the entry's address in Shenzhen, China, from its address in Hong Kong, with the appropriate punctuation.
Additionally, BIS is revising the Entity List to mitigate confusion, by combining the two existing entries entitled “Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.” This change does not alter BIS policy regarding the entries. Currently, the Entity List includes one entry for “Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.” at a Hong Kong address, and a second entry for the same entity with addresses of multiple other locations in China. This rule combines the two entries into one. As the confusion created by the two entries kept the *Federal Register* from implementing changes to a previous rule (86 FR 71557), this rule also adds three aliases (HMN Technologies, Huahai Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd., and HMN Tech) under one of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.'s affiliated entities, Huawei Marine Networks, to the newly combined entry.
**Savings Clause**
Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception or export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR) as a result of this regulatory action that were enroute aboard a carrier to a port of export, reexport, or transfer (in-country), on February 14, 2022, pursuant to actual orders for export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to or within a foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility for a License Exception or export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) without a license (NLR).
**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. 4801-4852). ECRA provides the legal basis for BIS's principal authorities and serves as the authority under which BIS issues this rule.
**Rulemaking Requirements**
1. 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 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 or 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 regulation involves collections previously approved by OMB under control number 0694-0088, Simplified Network Application Processing System, which includes, among other things, license applications and commodity classification, and carries a burden estimate of 29.6 minutes for a manual or electronic submission for a total burden estimate of 31,835 hours. Total burden hours associated with the PRA and OMB control number 0694-0088 are not expected to increase as a result of this rule.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
4. Pursuant to section 1762 of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, 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.
5. 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.
