Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, United States Munitions List

AGENCY: Department of State.
ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Department of State is revising Category V--Explosives, Propellants, Incendiary Agents, and Their Constituents and Category XIV--Toxicological Agents and Equipment and Radiological Equipment, of the U.S. Munitions List (USML). Amendments are made to the titles of both categories to better reflect the items included in the category and to move the texts of the definitional and interpretive provisions to the appropriate category. Also, to assist exporters, Category V and XIV are reformatted to identify the items by their predominant use. Exporters are also being provided Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers and Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) references. In addition to reformatting and changes in the language for clarification, Category XIV and Category V are revised to move from the USML to the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce several items that have been identified as having predominantly commercial application and no significant military applicability. The items so transferred in Category XIV are fluorine, liquid pepper and chloropicrin. The items so transferred in Category V are nitroguanidine (NG), guanidine nitrate, compounds composed of fluorine and one or more of the following: Other halogens, oxygen, nitrogen, and propyleneimide 2-methylaziridine, unless the articles are compounded or mixed with any item controlled by the USML.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 27, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Stephen J. Tomchik, Office of Defense Trade Controls, Department of State, Telephone (202) 663-2799 or FAX (202) 261-8199. ATTN: Regulatory Change, USML Part 121, Category V and XIV.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of rulemaking provides the results of a review, by the Department of State in consultation with the Departments of Defense and Commerce, of Category V and XIV of the U.S. Munitions List. To better reflect the items included in each category, the titles are amended. To assist the exporter, the definitional and interpretive provisions from § 121.12 and § 121.13 are moved to Category V, those from § 121.7 to Category XIV, and the numbered sections are captioned ``Reserved''. Also to assist the exporter, Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers and Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) references are being provided. Exporters are advised that the CAS numbers do not cover all the substances and mixtures controlled by the categories and CWC numbers are provided only when deemed appropriate.

In addition to amending the title and adding CAS numbers, the coverage of Category V, paragraph (c) is amended to add (c)(4) to cover, in addition to fuels for category VIII, fuels for the items in Category IV and VI. The fuels for category IV and VI articles are currently controlled by the components, parts and accessories paragraph in each of the categories. A new paragraph (c)(7) has been added to category V to clarify control of pyrotechnics that currently are covered by Category (V), paragraph (d). The language in section 121.13 is removed and the section ``reserved'', and the language in section 121.13 is now in Category V, paragraphs (c)(4) and (c)(9). The fuel thickeners currently in Category V, paragraph (b) are moved to paragraph (c) resulting in propellants in paragraph (c) being moved to paragraph (b). The compounds currently in Category V, paragraph (e) are moved to the relevant paragraph in the category in which the article is covered (e.g., binders, additives, etc.) and the technical data and services currently in paragraph (f) are moved to a new paragraph (h).

The amendments in Category XIV, in addition to changing the title and adding CAS numbers and CWC references, include the transfer to Category XVI of nuclear radiation detection and measuring devices currently in paragraph (d) of Category XIV. The inclusion of this coverage in Category XVI will be published in the results of the review of the entire category XVI. Paragraph (d) now controls tear gases and riot control agents. The equipment in paragraph (c) for the dissemination, detection, identification and defense of the articles in this category is moved to paragraph (f) and paragraph (k). Paragraph (c) now covers chemical agent binary precursors and key precursors. Paragraph (f), currently covering technical data, is revised re- designate paragraph (f) as Significant Military Equipment (SME) and to cover items currently in Category X(c) of the USML. Category XIV, paragraph (f) now includes equipment and its components, parts, accessories, and attachments specifically designed or modified for military operations and compatibility with military equipment (e.g., the dissemination, dispersion, testing, detection, identification, warning, monitoring, sample collection and processing; and individual protection of the chemical and biological agents listed in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the category). This includes military protective clothing and masks, but not those items designed for domestic preparedness (e.g., civil defense), collective protection, and decontamination or remediation. These movements resulted in the technical data currently in paragraph (f) being moved to a new paragraph (l). The components, parts, accessories, attachments and associated equipment for the items in category XIV, currently in paragraph (e), are moved to a new paragraph (k), and paragraph (e) now covers defoliants. The coverage of defoliants is expanded to include Agent Orange.

The remaining new paragraphs (e.g. (d), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), and (m)) added to Category XIV are for clarification, specific identification and movement of the articles currently covered in the category, and for transfer of the language in section 121.7.

In addition to the above amendments, four explosives and three chemicals were identified as having predominant civil use warranting their removal from the USML and transfer to the Commerce Control List. In Category V, the items and examples of their commercial use are: Nitroguanidine (NG) (e.g., used in pet insecticides), guanidine nitrate (e.g., used in disinfectants and photographic chemicals), propyleneimide 2-methulaziridine (e.g., used by paint and pharmaceutical manufacturers), and compounds composed of fluorine and one or more of the following: Other halogens, oxygen, nitrogen (e.g., used in freon). In Category XIV, the items and examples of their commercial use are: Fluorine (e.g., used in production of metallic and other fluoride and fluorocarbons, and as an active constituent of fluoridating compounds used in water and toothpaste), liquid pepper (e.g., derived from cayenne pepper and used by both for law enforcement and in commercially available sprays for personal protection), and chloropicrin (e.g., used in commercial fumigants and soil insecticides, and as a disinfectant for cereals and grains). In accordance with the requirements of Section 38(f) of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), this removal has been notified to the Congress, and the Commerce Control List (CCL) controls identified are: (1) For propyleneimide 2- methulaziridine and compounds composed of fluorine and one or more of the following: Other halogens, oxygen, and nitrogen--ECCN 1C018; (2) nitroguanidine (NG) and guanidine nitrate--ECCN 1C011, (3) for chloropicrin--ECCN 1C355, (4) for liquid pepper--ECCN 1A984, and for fluorine--ECCN EAR99.

Finally, Category X, Protective Personnel Equipment, is amended to delete the current paragraph (c) and renumber the paragraphs since protective apparel and equipment specifically designed or modified for use with toxicological agents and equipment is now covered by paragraph (f) of Category XIV.

This amendment involves a foreign affairs function of the United States and, therefore, is not subject to the procedures required by 5 U.S.C. 553 and 554. It is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866, but has been reviewed internally by the Department of State to ensure consistency with the purposes thereof. This rule does not require analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act or the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. It has been found not to be a major rule within the meaning of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Act of 1966. It will not have substantial direct effects on the States, the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with section 6 of Executive Order 13132, it is determined that this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant application of Executive Orders Nos. 12372 and 13123. However, affected U.S. persons are invited to submit written comments to the Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls, ATTN: Stephen Tomchik, Regulatory Change, USML Categories V and XIV, 12th Floor, SA-1, Washington, DC 20522-0112.
