SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Commerce Control List (CCL) is found in Supplement No. 1 to
part 774 of the EAR. The CCL is a list of items subject to the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR). Items subject to the EAR are under
the export control jurisdiction of the Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS), U.S. Department of Commerce. The CCL covers items (i.e.,
commodities, software, and technology) enumerated in Export Control
Classification Numbers (ECCNs). There are 10 general categories (0-9)
of ECCNs and each category has five parts (Systems, Equipment and
Components; Test, Inspection and Production Equipment; Materials;
Software; and Technology). The CCL covers a broad range of commodities,
software and technologies and plays an important role in the U.S.
system for controlling the export of dual-use items. Items not listed
on the CCL, but subject to the EAR, are designated as EAR99.
Changes are made regularly to the CCL to reflect revisions in the
control lists of the multilateral export control regimes (Wassenaar
Arrangement; Missile Technology Control Regime; Australia Group;
Nuclear Suppliers' Group). To conduct a more systematic review of the
CCL, BIS has requested that its TACs review the CCL and recommend
potential changes to BIS.
In addition to seeking recommendations from its TACs, BIS is also
inviting the interested public to submit comments regarding:
(1) The overall structure of the CCL, including suggestions for how
the structure of the CCL may be changed to better advance U.S. national
security, foreign policy, and economic interests;
(2) Types of items that should be listed on the CCL and the
appropriate levels of controls to be placed on those items, taking into
account technology levels, markets, and foreign availability;
(3) Any updates to the CCL item descriptions that would enable the
descriptions to better reflect the intent of the multinational controls
and to eliminate any overly broad descriptions that inadvertently
capture non-critical items that are not controlled by other countries;
and
(4) Coordination and harmonization of controls on items covered by
the multilateral regimes, such as the Wassenaar Arrangement.
Comments should be submitted to BIS as described in the ADDRESSES
section of this notice by September 17, 2007.
