Exports to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and
Montenegro); Imposition of Foreign Policy Controls
AGENCY: Bureau of Export Administration, Commerce.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Reacting to the use of excessive force by Serbian police
forces against civilians in Kosovo, as well as acts of violence by the
Kosovar Albanian extremists and fulfilling United States obligations to
implement an international arms embargo mandated by the United Nations
Security Council, the United States has banned the sale and supply of
arms and related materiel of all types to the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). To supplement the State Department
controls on items on the U.S. Munitions List, the Bureau of Export
Administration (BXA) is designating certain items on the Commerce
Control List (CCL) that are subject to the arms embargo and
establishing a policy of denial to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(Serbia and Montenegro) on such items. No embargoed items may be
exported to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro)
under any License Exception, including shipments of limited value
(LVS).
In addition, this rule makes certain editorial revisions to the
Export
[[Page 37768]]
Administration Regulations relating to embargoes and other special
controls.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective July 14, 1998.

Division, Bureau of Export Administration, Telephone: (202) 482-2440.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In Resolution 1160 of March 31, 1998, the United Nations Security
Council (UNSC) directs all member states to prohibit the sale or supply
to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including Kosovo, by their
nationals or from their territories or using their flag vessels and
aircraft, of arms and related materiel of all types, such as weapons
and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, and spare parts for
the aforementioned and to prevent arming and training for terrorist
activities there. Therefore, consistent with the UNSC Resolution 1160,
the Bureau of Export Administration is imposing new license
requirements and a policy of denial on arms-related items and certain
other items on the Commerce Control List that could be used for
terrorist activities or to repress the civilian population. These items
include shotguns, ammunition, military vehicles, equipment for
production of military explosives, bulletproof vests, night vision
equipment, crime and crowd control equipment, and items that may be
used to arm and train individuals for terrorist activities. Many of
these items are already subject to license application requirements
under the Export Administration Regulations for export to the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). However, this action
imposes export license requirements on additional items, such as water
cannons.
Executive Order 12918 of May 26, 1994 delegates authority, inter
alia, under section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act, 22
U.S.C. 287c, to take such actions as may be necessary to carry out this
arms embargo against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and
Montenegro) to the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of State,
for the types of arms and related materiel that come under their
respective jurisdictions. To carry out this delegation to the Secretary
of Commerce, the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) sets forth the
policies in Sec. 746.9 of the EAR and designates certain items on the
Commerce Control List (CCL) that are subject to the arms embargo and a
policy of denial to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and
Montenegro), effective July 14, 1998. The Department of State has
maintained a denial policy against issuing licenses or other
authorizations for defense articles and services to the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) since 1991. This action
is taken consistent with the provisions of the EAA and after
consultation with the Secretary of State. BXA submitted a foreign
policy report to the Congress indicating the imposition of new foreign
policy controls on June 30, 1998.
Although the Export Administration Act (EAA) expired on August 20,
1994, the President invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers
Act and continued in effect the EAR, and to the extent permitted by
law, the provisions of the EAA in Executive Order 12924 of August 19,
1994, as extended by the President's notices of August 15, 1995 (60 FR
42767), August 14, 1996 (61 FR 42527) and August 13, 1997 (62 FR
43629).
Rulemaking Requirements
1. This final rule has been determined to be significant for
purposes of E.O. 12866.
2. This rule involves a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These
collections have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget
under control number 0694-0088. Not withstanding any other provision of
law, no person is required to respond nor shall any person be subject
to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information
subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that
collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number.
3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
sufficient to warrant preparation of a Federalism assessment under
Executive Order 12612.
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 and foreign affairs
function of the United States (Sec. 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 final rule. Because a
notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are
not required to be given for this rule under 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.
Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there
is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are
welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be submitted to Patricia
Muldonian, Regulatory Policy Division, Bureau of Export Administration,
Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.

6. A new section 746.9 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 746.9 The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).
Under Resolution 1160 of March 31, 1998, the United Nations
Security Council (UNSC) directs all member states to prevent the sale
or supply to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including Kosovo, by
their nationals or from their territories or using their flag vessels
and aircraft, of arms and related materiel of all types, such as
weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment and spare parts
for the aforementioned, and to prevent the arming and training for
terrorist activities there. Executive Order 12918 of May 26, 1994 (3
CFR, 1994 Comp., p. 899) authorizes the Secretary of State and the
Secretary of Commerce, under section 5 of the United Nations
Participation Act and other authorities available to the respective
Secretaries, to take all actions necessary to implement any arms
embargo mandated by resolution of the United Nations Security Council.
(a) License requirements. Under Executive Order 12918 of May 26,
1994, and in conformity with United Nations Security Council (UNSC)
Resolution 1160 of March 31, 1998, an embargo applies to the sale or
supply to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including Kosovo, of arms
and related materiel of all types and regardless of origin, such as
weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, and spare
parts for such items. You will therefore need a license for the sale,
supply or export to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and
Montenegro) from the United States of embargoed items, as listed in
paragraphs (a)(1) (i) and (ii) of this section. You will also need a
license for the sale, supply, export or reexport to the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) of such items by any
United States person in any foreign country or other location.
(Reexport controls imposed by this embargo apply only to reexports by
U.S. persons. Reexport controls on U.S.-origin items to the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) set forth in other parts
of the EAR remain in effect.) You will also need a license for the use
of any U.S.-registered aircraft or vessel to supply or transport to the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) any such items.
These requirements apply to embargoed items, regardless of origin.
(i) Crime Control and Detection Equipment as identified on the CCL
under CC Columns No. 1, 2 or 3 in the Country Chart column of the
``License Requirements'' section of the applicable ECCN.
(ii) Items described by ECCNs ending in ``018''; and 0A982, 0A984,
0A985, 0A986, 0A988, 0A989, 0B986, 0E984, 1A005, 1C998, 2A993,
6A002.a.1, a.2, a.3, b and c, 6A003.b.3 and b.4, 6E001, 6E002, and
9A991.a.
(2) Date of embargo. The licensing requirements in this section are
effective on July 14, 1998.
(b) Licensing policy. Applications for export or reexport of all
items listed in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section are
subject to a general policy of denial. Consistent with United Nations
Security Council Resolution 1160, this embargo is effective
notwithstanding the existence of any rights or obligations conferred or
imposed by any international agreement or any contract entered into or
any license or permit granted prior to July 14, 1998, except to the
extent provided in regulations, orders, directives or licenses that may
be issued in the future under Executive Order 12918 or under the EAR.
(c) Related controls. The Department of State, Office of Defense
Trade Controls, maintains related controls on arms and military
equipment under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR
parts 120-130). You should also contact the Department of the
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control concerning any restrictions
which might apply to U.S. persons involving financial transactions with
the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).
