-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Industry and Security is amending the Export

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The United States Government, including the United States
Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), has come
into the possession of information giving reason to believe, based on
specific and articulable facts, that Mayrow General Trading and its
related entities have acquired electronic components and devices
capable of being used to construct Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
These commodities have been, and may continue to be, employed in IEDs
or other explosive devices used against Coalition Forces in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
To curtail such use of these commodities in order to protect
[[Page 32273]]
Coalition Forces operating in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Department of
Commerce is issuing General Order No. 3, set forth in Supplement No. 1
to part 736, imposing a license requirement for export and reexports of
all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) (15
CFR parts 736 and 744) to Mayrow General Trading and entities related
to or controlled by it, as follows:
Mayrow General Trading, Flat 401--Bin Yas Center--Al Maktum Road,
P.O. Box 42340, Dubai, UAE; Shops 3-4, Sharafia Ahmed Ali Building, al-
Nakheel, Deira, Dubai, UAE; P.O. Box 42340, Deira, Dubayy, UAE and P.O.
Box 171978, Deira, Dubayy, UAE;
Micatic General Trading, Flat 401--Bin Yas Center--Al Maktum Road,
P.O. Box 42340, Dubai, UAE; and Shops 3-4, Sharafia Ahmed Ali Building,
al-Nakheel, Deira, Dubai, UAE;
Majidco Micro Electronics, Flat 401--Bin Yas Center--Al Maktum
Road, P.O. Box 42340, Dubai, UAE; and Shops 3-4, Sharafia Ahmed Ali
Building, al-Nakheel, Deira, Dubai, UAE;
Atlinx Electronics, Flat 401--Bin Yas Center--Al Maktum Road, P.O.
Box 42340, Dubai, UAE; and Shops 3-4, Sharafia Ahmed Ali Building, al-
Nakheel, Deira, Dubai, UAE;
Micro Middle East Electronics, Flat 401--Bin Yas Center--Al Maktum
Road, P.O. Box 42340, Dubai, UAE; and Shops 3-4, Sharafia Ahmed Ali
Building, al-Nakheel, Deira, Dubai, UAE; Narinco, Flat 401--Bin Yas
Center--Al Maktum Road, P.O. Box 42340, Dubai, UAE; and Shops 3-4,
Sharafia Ahmed Ali Building, al-Nakheel, Deira, Dubai, UAE;
F.N. Yaghmaei, Flat 401--Bin Yas Center--Al Maktum Road, P.O. Box
42340, Dubai, UAE; and Shops 3-4, Sharafia Ahmed Ali Building, al-
Nakheel, Deira, Dubai, UAE; and
H. Ghasir, Flat 401--Bin Yas Center--Al Maktum Road, P.O. Box
42340, Dubai, UAE; and Shops 3-4, Sharafia Ahmed Ali Building, al-
Nakheel, Deira, Dubai, UAE.
Under this order, a BIS license is required for the export or
reexport of any item subject to the EAR to any of the above-named
entities, including any transaction in which any of the above-named
entities will act as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate
consignee, or end-user of the items. This order also prohibits the use
of License Exceptions (see part 740 of the EAR) for exports and
reexports of items subject to the EAR involving such entities.
To assist readers in finding in the EAR these additional end-users
subject to special restrictions with respect to exports and reexports,
this rule also adds a new Section 744.15 to part 744 of the EAR
(Control Policy: End-User and End-Use Based) to provide a cross
reference to the prohibitions contained in the general orders in
Supplement No. 1 to part 736.
Consistent with section 6 of the Export Administration Act of 1979,
as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 2401-2420) (the ``Act''), a foreign policy
report was submitted to Congress on May 30, 2006, notifying Congress of
the imposition of a control in the form of a licensing requirement for
exports and reexports of all items subject to the EAR destined to
Mayrow General Trading and related entities.
Since August 21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse and the President,
through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783
(2002)), as extended most recently by the Notice of August 2, 2005, (70
FR 45273 (August 5, 2005)), has continued the EAR in effect under the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706
(2000)) (``IEEPA''). The BIS continues to carry out the provisions of
the Act, as appropriate and to the extent permitted by law, pursuant to
Executive Order 13222.
Rulemaking Requirements
1. 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 nor 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 the OMB under control numbers 0694-
0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour
estimate of 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748.
Miscellaneous and recordkeeping activities account for 12 minutes per
submission. Total burden hours associated with the Paperwork Reduction
Act and Office and Management and Budget control number 0694-0088 are
expected to increase slightly as a result of this rule. Send comments
regarding these burden estimates or any other aspect of this collection
of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to David
Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, by e-mail at david_rostker@omb.eop.gov or
by fax to (202) 395-7285; and to the Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau
of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273,
Washington, DC 20044, e-mail: publiccomments@bis.doc.gov.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in 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 or 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 rule. 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.
